"Uchiha Madara?"
"How is that possible?!"
The two women couldn't help but exclaim.
A person's name carries weight. Upon hearing Obito announce himself as Uchiha Madara, the two women's hearts felt as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
Uchiha Madara's notorious reputation from the Warring States period still had a profound impact on the ninja generations that followed.
To battle such a ninja? The pressure was immense. This was a ninja who was on par with the God of Shinobi...
'Wait... how could a ninja from that era still be alive?'
"Uchiha Madara..."
Gojo Kaigetsu's voice pulled the two women back to reality: "Under the First Hokage's hand, didn't you learn one thing?"
Obito's advancing steps paused, and he subconsciously asked, "What?"
"That is... villains die from talking too much!"
...
...
At the same time.
The Hokage's residence was located in the most central area of Konoha Village, No. 10 Mokuton Street. It had been designated as the Hokage's residence since the founding of Konoha.
However, the First and Second Hokage had their own Senju clan residences, and the Third Hokage had the Sarutobi clan home.
For the first time, the Hokage of Konoha lived in the official Hokage residence, and with some minor renovations, the residence appeared grand and majestic.
In the dead of night.
Minato Namikaze had already changed into his pajamas and was lying shoulder to shoulder with Kushina Uzumaki, whispering sweet nothings as they prepared to sleep.
"Minato, what should we name our child in the future?"
Lying in bed, her belly already showing, Kushina had a face full of maternal love, gently stroking her stomach.
"Naruto... let's call him Naruto."
"If he inherits my hair color, he'll be Uzumaki Naruto. If he has red hair like you, Kushina, then he'll be Namikaze Naruto."
"Eh, Naruto, that's a good name. But didn't you mix up the surnames? Why would he be called Namikaze Naruto if he has red hair?"
"Because you are in me, and I am in you~"
"Minato, you really..."
Kushina blushed, about to snuggle up to her husband. But when she glanced up inadvertently, she noticed that her husband's expression had changed.
"What's wrong?"
*Whoosh-*
Minato didn't even have time to explain properly. In a flash, he leaped from the bed and appeared in front of the wardrobe.
"Something has happened at Kaigetsu-kun's place."
"A top-level alert."
During his explanation, Minato had already changed out of his pajamas and into his ninja combat attire.
Upon hearing this, Kushina's expression also changed: "A top-level alert?"
"Kaigetsu-kun once told me that if he encountered an attack, he would immediately send me an alert using a ninja technique."
"The alerts are divided into high-level and top-level..."
"If it's the former, I need to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to the Flying Thunder God kunai he holds. It means a strong but non-lethal enemy has appeared, and I can capture them alive when I arrive."
"And the latter?"
"The latter..."
Zzz-
Minato demonstrated what a "top-level Kaigetsu alert" meant through his actions.
In his left palm, a swirling blue chakra ball emitting a destructive aura was forming... it was the Rasengan!
Inspired by observing the Tailed Beast Bombs of the Four-Tails Son Goku and the Five-Tails Kokuō, he compressed chakra by making it rotate in multiple directions, forming a high-density "chakra sphere." It was a scaryly powerful jutsu jointly developed by Minato and Jiraiya.
On the battlefield, Minato used his unpredictable Flying Thunder God Technique and the immensely destructive Rasengan to establish his reputation as the Yellow Flash.
"It means that Kaigetsu-kun has encountered a powerful enemy who threatens his life. No need to take prisoners; eliminate them on the spot!"
"I need to arrive at the battlefield the moment I form the Rasengan using the Flying Thunder God Technique and deliver a fatal blow."
"Kushina, you go notify the Anbu units to head to Kaigetsu-kun's residence immediately!"
After saying this last sentence, Minato's figure vanished from the spot.
All that was left was the chaotic room caused by forming the Rasengan, proving that he had been there just moments before.
A similar scene was unfolding in the Uchiha clan compound.
Uchiha Fugaku, who was lying in bed preparing to sleep, suddenly opened his eyes and sprang up as if propelled by a spring.
"Dear, what's wrong?"
Mikoto rubbed her sleepy eyes, only to see that her husband, who was in pajamas a moment ago, had already changed into his ninja combat attire bearing the Uchiha clan crest.
"Something's happened."
"Konoha is under attack."
"An enemy invasion? How can that be?" Mikoto was shocked.
"The enemy's target is Advisor Gojo. Mikoto, go convey my orders: have the Police Force members move out immediately to seal off the entire village."
"I need to rush to Advisor Gojo's residence to engage the enemy."
...
...
"Gojo Kaigetsu, are those your last words?"
"Don't underestimate me, Uchiha Madara! You are nothing but a ghostly traitor of Konoha!"
"I hope my old techniques still work-"
"Ninja Art: Kunai Throwing Technique!"
Gojo Kaigetsu displayed a proud expression, swiftly pulling out six kunai from his ninja pouch and clasping them between his fingers.
Then, using the strength of his forearm muscles and wrist, he vigorously swung the three kunai clasped in his left fingers. The three kunai traced a spiral trajectory, aiming straight for Obito's orange mask.
Obito stood motionless.
Watching his "uncle," who hadn't improved at all in two years, he couldn't help but smirk beneath his mask.
Gojo Kaigetsu was still the same Gojo Kaigetsu, but Uchiha Obito was no longer the Uchiha Obito of the past.
Years of desk work had eroded his combat skills as a ninja.
The current Gojo Kaigetsu's combat skills as a ninja were no better than those of a freshly graduated Genin from the academy.
He was actually using the "Kunai Throwing Technique," a basic jutsu that even five-year-old Uchiha children could master, as his means of life-and-death struggle against Uchiha Madara.
Couldn't he even use a proper ninjutsu?
How laughable.
Uchiha Obito was disinterested; he didn't even bother using Kamui.
In the vision of his Mangekyō Sharingan, Gojo Kaigetsu's Kunai Throwing Technique was as slow as a turtle crawling. Casually raising his hand, he effortlessly caught the kunai thrown by Gojo Kaigetsu between his fingers.
"Nani?! How did my Kunai Throwing Technique get intercepted so easily..." Gojo Kaigetsu staggered back a few steps, an exaggerated expression on his face.
Samui observed all of this.
Something was off, very off.
The vibe... was familiar. Having been around Gojo Kaigetsu for a while, she knew he was up to something again.
But the opponent was Uchiha Madara; what confidence did he have...
Obito spoke in a mocking tone: "I barely lifted a finger, and it's already beyond your comprehension."
"The struggling appearance of Konoha's elder is really ugly."
"Now... die!"
Killing Gojo Kaigetsu was like stomping out his former self.
Uchiha Obito felt a wave of boredom, unwilling to toy with his old acquaintance any longer. His figure moved like a phantom, rushing towards the three of them.
"He's so fast!"
Pakura's pupils shrank. Instinctively, she was about to form hand seals to use her Scorch Release ninjutsu.
Unexpectedly, Gojo Kaigetsu raised his hand in a stopping gesture, tacitly preventing Pakura from forming seals.
he threw the remaining three kunai.
This time, perhaps due to his unsteady mindset, even the basic Kunai Throwing Technique lost its accuracy.
Only two kunai were aimed at Obito's head, while the remaining one completely missed, passing about two palms' width beside Obito.
A strange scene occurred!
Pakura and Samui's pupils contracted-
They saw the two kunai pass directly through the orange mask as if the cloak and mask concealed no physical body, and even chakra-infused metal couldn't harm him.
Could he... truly be a ghost wandering the ninja world?!
Was he really Uchiha Madara?!
There was no time to react. Obito had already reached the three of them. His raised right hand's fingertips touched the sleeve of Gojo Kaigetsu...
Obito whispered in a voice only he could hear: "Farewell, Gojo Kaigetsu."
"Ninja Art! Flying Thunder God Rasengan-!"
Almost simultaneously, Gojo Kaigetsu shouted loudly, his decisive and fierce voice shaking Obito's mind.
'What...? Flying Thunder God?'
'Not good! That kunai just now!'
Obito's pupils shrank. In that instant, he recalled the special pattern on the kunai that had just passed by him...
That was the formula for the Flying Thunder God Technique, the signature jutsu of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!
'Damn it! Too late to use Kamui...'
Boom!!!
The Hokage cloak entered everyone's view.
Descending from the sky, the blue Rasengan slammed heavily onto Obito's black cloak.
The originally stable and balanced Rasengan suddenly surged in chakra upon contact with Obito's body! The chakra skyrocketed, wildly increasing in power!
At this moment, the descending Minato was several times more imposing than ever before! Unparalleled dominance, unparalleled frenzy! Such a scary Hokage-what in the ninja world could withstand him?
The violent chakra exploded instantly on Obito's back. The scary force even pierced through his body, smashing into the foundation of the Gojo residence.
In an instant, bricks shattered, dust filled the air, and the luxurious mansion collapsed into half a ruin under this single blow.
Whoosh-
Obito, who had taken a direct hit from the Rasengan, seemed uninjured. In the moment of impact, he flashed away to the entrance hall of the mansion.
But was he really uninjured?
Gojo Kaigetsu crossed his arms in front of his face, fearing that flying debris might mar his handsome features.
Even though he had the passive protection of the Limitless Technique, necessary pretense in front of others still had to be maintained.
Through his Six Eyes, he had witnessed everything that had just happened.
He couldn't help but be amazed... Come to think of it, this was the first time he had truly witnessed a battle between Kage-level powerhouses.
This destructive power was astonishing; a single Rasengan had destroyed his home.
This was Minato's strength-normally cheerful and friendly, but when it came down to it, he was truly formidable.
As for Obito...
Gojo Kaigetsu glanced sideways.
He had to admit, with transplanted Hashirama cells and half of his body made of White Zetsu, Obito's resilience was impressive.
Unless it was a taijutsu master like the Raikage or Might Guy, an average ninja taking a direct hit from Minato's Rasengan would, if not die on the spot, at least be incapacitated.
It was rare for someone to retain Obito's level of mobility.
As the dust settled, Minato held a Flying Thunder God kunai in front of Gojo Kaigetsu.
"Sorry, Kaigetsu-kun, I was late."
"No, your timing was perfect, A flawless collaboration."
With his second strongest ally present, Gojo Kaigetsu straightened his back, coolly standing beside Minato with his hands in his pockets, striking a pose.
"Uchiha Madara, I should have told you. Villains die from talking too much~"
"Damn... I was careless!"
Uchiha Obito clutched his arm, his chest heaving.
The confident and arrogant smile beneath his mask had now transferred to Gojo Kaigetsu's face.
Although he had transplanted Hashirama cells, greatly enhancing his resilience, the Rasengan's impact had still penetrated his body. And now...
He clutched his arm, which was melting like mud, dripping onto the ground.
"Damn it... The White Zetsu body can't hold on," Obito thought grimly.
Instinctively, he wanted to use Kamui to retrieve the falling White Zetsu matter to prevent Konoha from collecting and researching it. But using Kamui in front of these people would undoubtedly reveal his greatest trump card.
Kamui had already partially revealed its "intangibility" ability just now; the "Kamui Dimension" had not been exposed.
Damn it!
He hadn't killed his target and had exposed half of his trump card. Would he now reveal the other half?
Obito began to weigh the pros and cons.
"Uchiha Madara? Is that all?"
Minato rarely showed a hint of surprise on his face.
He had been pondering who the enemy before him was, and Gojo Kaigetsu had directly revealed the answer.
Upon hearing it, Minato immediately dismissed it.
Uchiha Madara... couldn't be this weak. The person before him was an imposter. Part of the Hokage's inheritance involved passing down knowledge.
From his teacher, Minato had learned about Uchiha Madara's true strength.
He was definitely not someone who could be compared to this weirdo whose body fell apart after taking one Rasengan.
"Intruder, you are not Uchiha Madara... Who exactly are you?"
"Heh heh, I am Uchiha Madara, destined to destroy Konoha."
"This hopeless village has no value in existing; all that remains is pain! Next time, I will personally destroy this despairing village."
"We shall meet again."
Obito's figure began to distort and fade, disappearing into the void.
Gojo Kaigetsu narrowed his eyes, activating his Six Eyes to observe the spatial fluctuations.
"Trying to escape?"
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
A powerful jet of water shot towards Obito, but it passed right through his body as if he were a phantom.
"Damn it, a space-time ninjutsu..."
