"Hidden deep within the earth, Ryūmyaku, the pulse of the planet, the source of life, appear and grant us protection, by the power of this incantation!"
Standing in the courtyard, Kaito completed his communication with Ryūmyaku, and a golden mist enveloped him.
He looked up at Kakashi, forming seals with his hands.
"Release!"
Glowing patterns appeared on Kakashi's body, and Ryūmyaku's lock emerged from the patterns, quickly extending to the ground before retracting back into the earth.
"It's done."
The golden mist around Kaito slowly dissipated. He returned to the corridor and sat down.
"Sigh, time to start working again."
Feeling his internal state, Kakashi seemed reluctant.
"Kakashi-sensei, you're too lazy!" Naruto glanced at him disdainfully and continued eating fruit.
"Kaito." Minato ignored Kakashi and looked seriously at Kaito. "Why didn't you tell me about Obito last time?"
Hearing Minato's question, Kakashi's eyes flashed, and he looked silently at Kaito.
Previously, he had talked to Minato about Obito, but was shocked by the information Naruto later revealed. It turned out that Obito was the culprit behind the Nine-Tails incident.
So why did Kaito hide the matter of Obito from Minato?
"To me, Obito is just an unimportant piece." Kaito said, "There was no need to mention it. Naruto and Kakashi know some of it, and you will too."
"Is that so?" Minato was still doubtful.
"Yes." Kaito nodded firmly.
"Then, since you know about the Akatsuki's actions, you should also know more about Obito, right?" Minato continued, "Can you tell us?"
"I don't know much more." Kaito shook his head. "You already know what you need to know. Obito claims to be Madara Uchiha and is a pawn of the Akatsuki's mastermind."
"My information comes from Itachi Uchiha. Obito always remained mysterious in front of him." Kaito continued, "When Itachi slaughtered the clan, Obito was involved. He was the one who reached an agreement with Danzo about the Uchiha's demise."
"Itachi?" Kakashi spoke up, surprised. "I didn't expect you to have connections with Itachi."
Kaito frowned. "I've left Itachi's fate to Sasuke. Until then, it's good if he can be useful."
Kakashi disagreed. "Why leave it to Sasuke? He's still a child. You're their elder."
"Then what should I do? Kill Itachi for revenge? If I killed Itachi, my sister and Sasuke might not say anything, but they might resent me internally." Kaito said softly.
"I didn't say to kill Itachi. He's following orders. Besides, your desire for revenge isn't that strong." Kakashi said sharply. "You're not someone who acts without thinking."
"That's true." Kaito said flatly. "My father is long dead, and I didn't have close ties with other clansmen."
"The closest were Mikoto and her family. Unfortunately, Fugaku and Mikoto made their choices. Otherwise, the Uchiha wouldn't have been wiped out so silently."
"I can understand." Minato said heavily. "I knew Fugaku and Mikoto. They were peace-seeking and not ambitious."
"I had planned to handle the issues between Konoha and the Uchiha during my tenure." He patted Naruto's head. "Kushina and Mikoto even agreed to raise Naruto and Sasuke as good friends."
"Dad?" Naruto smiled brightly at Minato. "Mom was right. Sasuke and I are good friends!"
"I know. That's why I felt assured leaving Konoha when you became Hokage." Kaito sighed. "Too bad, who knew your reign as the youngest Hokage would be the shortest. You died young before achieving your goals."
Minato also smiled brightly.
"Did you think so highly of me? I'm flattered, haha..."
Kaito looked at him speechlessly.
"I felt assured because you were young and influenced more by Jiraiya-sensei. You didn't inherit the will passed down from the Second Hokage."
"Additionally, Kushina and Mikoto were close friends. As Hokage, you would be fairer to the Uchiha clan."
"Unfortunately, the power of Konoha was still held by the Third Hokage and his associates."
"Those old guys were not easy to deal with. You must have faced many obstacles when you became Hokage. Otherwise, you wouldn't have established the Hokage Guard Force outside the Anbu."
After Kaito finished speaking, the three adults fell silent.
"What are you talking about?" Naruto was confused. "What's wrong with the Third Hokage?"
"Nothing." Minato said. "Kaito is lamenting my short-lived Hokage career."
"Hmph, Dad, don't treat me like a kid." Naruto squinted his eyes and suspiciously looked at the three adults. "Kakashi-sensei and Uncle Kaito mean that because of the Third Hokage's orders, Sasuke's brother killed his family?"
"You're not wrong." Kaito smiled faintly.
Naruto looked at Minato and Kakashi again and asked, "Why? Aren't we all comrades in the same village?"
Minato and Kakashi didn't know how to explain, but Kaito wasn't planning to fool the child.
"This is a historical issue. Before Konoha's founding, the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan, to which the First Hokage belonged, were enemies with deep-seated hatred."
"To pursue peace, the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, as leaders of their respective clans, decided to set aside their hatred and founded Konoha."
"In the following days, the two diverged due to differing views on peace."
"Later, Madara Uchiha sought to destroy Konoha, and the First Hokage killed him, but he was severely injured and died shortly after."
"As the First Hokage's brother, the Second Hokage hated Madara and was wary of the Uchiha clan. This hatred and wariness were inherited by his disciples."
"The Nine-Tails incident, which killed your parents, made the Third Hokage and his associates suspicious of the Uchiha, marginalizing them in the village."
"The Uchiha clan was dissatisfied and, under increasing pressure, many began to plan a coup to take over Konoha's leadership."
"The Third Hokage and his associates decided to sacrifice the Uchiha clan to protect the village."
"Uh..."
Naruto scratched his head in frustration.
"I still don't get it, but I think there's always a way to solve it. Why didn't they sit down and talk?"
"Is that your solution?" Kaito asked. "If you were Hokage, what would you do?"
Naruto thought hard, messing up his hair even more.
"I wouldn't let people in the village kill each other! I don't know the best way, but if everyone works together, we can find a good solution!"
"Is that so?"
Minato smiled with relief and said, "That's good. Even if you don't find a solution, you have the power of trust. With reliable comrades, you can be a successful Hokage."
