As for the potential rift between him and Qifeng because of this matter, he felt that a conversation with Qifeng afterward should resolve it.
"Let's do it this way. Only the two of us know about Kushina's childbirth. You can dispatch two teams of Anbu ninjas for protection. A temporary deployment won't raise any suspicion. With the two of us present, the safety will be sufficiently guaranteed."
Hiruzen Sarutobi made the final decision on this matter.
Although Minato trusted Qifeng, having just become the Fourth Hokage, he didn't insist further on his opinion against Hiruzen Sarutobi's decision.
He nodded emphatically.
...
A few days later.
Konoha.
Boom!!!
A massive booming sound reverberated through the heavens and earth, and an extremely terrifying chakra suddenly erupted. The dense red chakra that rose up actually stained the moon in the sky blood red.
Nine enormous tails flew back and forth, and in just an instant, they caused immense destruction to Konoha.
The Nine-Tails!
The most terrifying existence among the nine tailed beasts had brazenly appeared in its complete form on the fertile land of Konoha.
The rampant roars and surging chakra immediately made the sleeping Konoha ninjas feel an extreme sense of terror.
It's no exaggeration to say that even if the other eight tailed beasts combined forces, they might not be a match for the complete Nine-Tails, a being truly favored by the Sage of Six Paths.
And at this moment.
Standing on top of the Nine-Tails' head was a man wearing a black cloak and a spiral-patterned orange mask.
A crimson Sharingan was spinning rapidly beneath the only exposed hole, and under his feet, the Nine-Tails' eyes were also reflecting the Sharingan.
The person.
Of course, it was Obito Uchiha!
Just as Qifeng had thought, even without Danzo's secret report, it wasn't difficult for Obito to find out Kushina Uzumaki's childbirth time.
"Nine-Tails..."
Obito raised his hand, feeling the Nine-Tails' almost inexhaustible power, and an unprecedented feeling of looking down upon the entire ninja world arose spontaneously.
"With such power, it's no wonder Madara Uchiha possessed such great strength back then."
It seemed.
That with this power, he could now accomplish anything.
"No, it's not enough!"
Obito suddenly clenched his fist, his gaze becoming extremely cold and crazed, "The Nine-Tails is powerful, but the power of just the Nine-Tails is not enough to achieve that plan. I must have the Ten-Tails! I must have the power of all the tailed beasts to do it!"
Obito constantly strengthened his resolve as he murmured.
He wanted to create a world with Rin Nohara!
So he had to collect all the tailed beasts!
"The Nine-Tails has been successfully acquired! Capturing the remaining tailed beasts won't be difficult, but the Two-Tails and Three-Tails were killed by Hiruzen Sarutobi. Waiting for them to revive will still take time! Rin, wait for me!"
However.
Just as he was about to wreak havoc in Konoha to vent his dissatisfaction and anger before leaving, his attention was quickly drawn to a figure.
Minato Namikaze!
Wearing the white Hokage robe with the words "Fourth Hokage" embroidered on the back, Minato Namikaze appeared before Obito using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
At this time, Minato Namikaze's face was unusually unsightly. He was very clear about what the appearance of the Nine-Tails meant. That suffocating feeling made him feel like he was immersed in deep water, and Kushina's destined ending was like the plan he had already made.
The moment he saw the Nine-Tails appear, his heart went with it.
But there was one more thing he couldn't forget, and that was his identity as the Fourth Hokage.
On his shoulders were not only his responsibilities as a husband, but also the greatest spiritual support for all Konoha ninjas, so this matter could only be resolved by him, and only he could resolve it!
Using the Summoning Technique to summon Gamabunta from Mount Myōboku, he stood at the same height as Obito, and when he looked at the Sharingan spinning under Obito's mask, his heart skipped a beat.
Sharingan!
"Who are you?!"
Obito didn't feel any discomfort facing his former teacher, only a deep resentment towards Minato Namikaze.
He raised his hand slightly to adjust the mask on his face, mimicking Madara Uchiha's manner.
"Madara, Uchiha... Madara!"
Chapter 209: The Nine-Tails Disturbance
"Madara Uchiha?"
Hearing this name, Minato Namikaze's expression clearly darkened, and he couldn't help but think of the scroll that Hiruzen Sarutobi had shown him earlier, which was signed by Madara Uchiha.
But he never expected that Madara Uchiha should have been dead, and even if he was alive, he shouldn't be so young.
However, in his clear perception, the terrifying chakra contained in the other party's body forced him to truly treat the other party as Madara Uchiha.
Being able to control the Nine-Tails with the Sharingan, just the power of that eye alone was probably not something that ordinary members of the Uchiha clan possessed.
While Minato Namikaze was sensing Obito, Obito was also sensing Minato Namikaze.
"As expected of the Yellow Flash, even though you were born as an ordinary person, it's commendable that you've reached such a height, but you made one mistake, you didn't protect Rin!"
The stronger the power he felt, the deeper Obito's obsession with Rin Nohara became.
And just as he was thinking, Minato Namikaze suddenly moved, waving both hands at the same time, dozens of specially made Flying Thunder God kunai were instantly shot out, covering all the space that Obito could move and shift.
But Obito just stood coldly in place without moving, allowing these Flying Thunder God kunai to approach him.
Opportunity!
Minato Namikaze's eyes flashed, his body suddenly disappeared from the top of Gamabunta's head, and when he reappeared, he only saw a faint yellow light. He had suddenly appeared in front of Obito, one hand firmly grasping the kunai that had reached his hand, while the other hand, in the process of being raised, instantly condensed a pure ball of chakra energy.
Rasengan.
