Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito with the System

Obito had been speaking animatedly for quite some time.

"Blah blah~ Blah blah~ Blah blah~!"

When he finally finished, he turned his gaze toward the dumbstruck Minato and Kakashi.

"Hehehe, Sensei, what do you think of my plan?"

Minato shut his gaping mouth and began to think it over.

"Obito's proposal… It's a bit insane," he admitted. "But I can't deny, there's a certain logic to it."

Turning to Kakashi, he asked, "What's your opinion, Kakashi?"

Kakashi adjusted his forehead protector.

"If Obito can pull it off, I think it's a sound strategy," he replied calmly. "It would definitely serve as a deterrent, keeping Kumogakure from provoking Konoha for years."

Minato gave a slight nod before directing a serious look at Obito.

"Obito, let me ask you—are you truly confident about this?"

Obito chuckled mischievously.

"Don't worry, Sensei. I wouldn't suggest it if I didn't think I could do it."

With that, he threw an arm around Kakashi.

"Besides, if things go south, I'll drag this guy along with me. Worst case, it won't be as impressive, but it'll still work."

"After all, he's already got a solid grasp of the Flying Thunder God Technique, and combined with his original Lightning Release move… What's there to worry about?"

Minato slowly nodded, his expression resolute.

"Alright, I'll fully support your plan. We'll set the operation for… three days from now."

"Three days should be enough time for me to mobilize reinforcements to the border."

Obito sprang to his feet, excitement radiating from him.

"Got it! I'll start implementing the commands right away!"

His gaze shifted to Aoyama Kenichi, the man standing nearby.

The Sharingan in his eyes spun as he rewrote the man's consciousness.

"Done!"

...

Night deepened.

In the inn where the diplomatic delegation was staying, Aoyama Kenji paced anxiously.

"It's been over half an hour. Why hasn't there been any movement from Brother?"

Just then, a shadow slipped silently into the inn and entered Kenji's room.

Kenji's eyes lit up as he greeted the figure.

"Brother!"

However, when he noticed the man's empty hands, a flicker of doubt crossed his face.

"Brother, you…?"

Kenichi shook his head.

"The Hyūga estate's defenses are too tight. I couldn't find an opening."

Kenji's face fell, disappointment written all over him.

"Then… what should we do now?"

Kenichi laughed heartily, clapping his younger cousin on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I didn't come back empty-handed. I've mapped out the estate's general defenses."

"We just need to wait a few days. Once Konoha lets its guard down, I'll strike!"

Kenji's face brightened at the news.

"That's great, Brother!"

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

That evening, Kenichi summoned Kenji to his room.

His face was solemn as he gave his cousin one final instruction.

"If I'm not back by the Hour of the Ox…"

"Contact Raikage-sama immediately. Do you understand?"

Kenji's eyes reddened slightly, and he nodded firmly.

"I understand, Brother."

Kenichi smiled approvingly, giving Kenji's shoulder a reassuring pat.

Then he donned his night garb and disappeared into the ground.

Left alone, Kenji fidgeted nervously in his room, his gaze darting to the clock every few minutes.

As the hands crept closer to three o'clock, his heart sank.

The Hour of the Ox (1:00 to 3:00 a.m.) had come and gone, yet there was no sign of Kenichi.

Kenji bowed deeply in the direction his cousin had departed.

"Brother, your sacrifice is noble. To share the same lineage as you, Aoyama Kenichi, is my greatest honor."

Without further hesitation, Kenji left his room and began contacting the Raikage through a special channel.

...

Northeastern Fire Country, just beyond the border.

In a concealed command tent, a muscular man with bronze skin and blond hair read over a freshly delivered classified report.

He wore a white cloak and heavy armor on his waist and forearms.

This was the Fourth Raikage, Ay, the current leader of Kumogakure.

After finishing the report, Ay muttered thoughtfully.

"That Aoyama Kenichi is a clever one. He knew I needed an excuse to act, so he risked his life to give me one…"

"Very well. Once this is over, I'll make sure to properly compensate the Aoyama clan."

Setting the report aside, he looked to the white-haired man standing nearby.

"Darui, give the order. Mobilize the army."

Darui nodded and left the tent.

"Understood, Raikage-sama."

Moments later, nearly ten thousand Kumogakure shinobi abandoned their supply lines and began marching en masse toward the Fire Country border.

As dawn broke, the silver light of morning gradually gave way to a crimson glow.

When Kumogakure's forces reached the Fire Country border, they were met with an unexpected sight.

On the other side, nearly ten thousand Konoha shinobi stood ready, weapons in hand, their formation disciplined and imposing.

The Raikage frowned at the sight.

What's going on?

How did Konoha respond so quickly?

And with a force of this magnitude…

Could they actually intend to clash head-on with Kumogakure?

The Raikage turned and selected a few squads.

"You, come with me. Let's see what Konoha has to say for themselves."

Accompanied by a dozen shinobi, the Raikage crossed the border to confront Konoha's army.

From the Konoha ranks, Obito raised an eyebrow.

"Not bad, Raikage. Pretty bold of him to come strolling in like this. Doesn't he worry we might just take him out right here?"

Beside him, Kakashi rolled his eyes.

"He's a Kage, Obito. You think his army's just for show? He's not afraid of us making a move."

Obito shrugged with a sly grin.

"Even so, we can't let him outshine us. Wanna go greet him together?"

Kakashi's excitement was barely concealed.

"Let's do it."

The two stepped out of their ranks and approached the Raikage, unaccompanied.

When they stopped a few paces away, both sides began sizing each other up.

The Raikage's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized the two youths.

Who were these brash kids?

He glanced at the group behind him, then back at the two standing before him.

His face darkened.

These two dared to approach without backup, while he, a Kage, had brought bodyguards?

This was a blatant slap to his face!

Humiliated, the Raikage unleashed a terrifying aura, his presence rolling over the pair like a tidal wave.

Yet the two stood firm, their expressions unchanging.

This only deepened the Raikage's frustration.
