Chapter 444: Minato's Foolish Child, Hate Me!
Haneda: "..."
Even after retiring as Hokage, one still needs a job?
It's starting to feel like the situation across the ocean, where even eighty-year-old Trump has to work at McDonald's...
Minato-senpai is still working hard to "Make Konoha Great Again!"
However, the space tunnel here looks quite modern...
But which way should they go?
With a "whoosh," a fast car sped by—it was Didi Taxi.
Tobirama rolled down the window, smiling at Haneda and Obito:
"We meet again, the naturally kind Uchiha hero, and you, Haneda, the naturally evil Uchiha brat."
Haneda gave Tobirama a speechless look, thinking it might be because Obito participated in the clan's massacre, making him "naturally kind" now.
Then he noticed Tobirama wasn't driving. Tobirama sat in the passenger seat, while an Uchiha clan member was the driver.
It seemed Tobirama was the boss, while the Uchiha driver was the overworked employee.
Perhaps this Didi Taxi was Tobirama's business, specifically recruiting Uchiha people to work for him...
"Let's go, perfect timing for a ride." Obito opened the door without suspicion, pulling Haneda inside.
The Didi Taxi sped off, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at a village entirely different from the modern city—a slum-like area.
As the car door opened, Haneda and Obito found themselves at the entrance of Yakiniku Q.
"Just as I thought..."
Standing at the entrance, Haneda looked up at the old barbecue restaurant.
He remembered when he used to dream of eating a good meal there but couldn't afford it. After graduating and earning money, he rarely had time for such things, except for essential social engagements.
Haneda turned to Obito and said, "I must admit, you succeeded. I'm indeed interested in this world and willing to stay here for a while."
"Obito, your delay tactic worked well."
Obito touched Haneda's forehead, puzzled, "No fever..."
Haneda knew this Limited Tsukuyomi was built from his own wishes. Whatever he wanted Obito to become, that's what Obito would be.
As for the maid Obito he met at the start, that was just the prankster Tobi.
The world being called Limited Tsukuyomi was because its logic was irrational and abstract...
But why isn't there a cross-dressed Kakashi?
No hidden intentions—I'm just curious...
Haneda took a deep breath, smiled at Obito, and said, "Nothing, just kidding. Let's go meet everyone."
...
Outside the Limited Tsukuyomi, in the real world.
The Fourth Great Ninja War continued.
Controlling the Ten-Tails, Obito leaped over Haneda's head, standing with Madara, looking down at the allied ninja forces.
Obito said, "I'm ready to reclaim the last of the tailed beasts and become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki."
"Let the Divine Tree return to the world, and let humanity embrace reality once again."
Madara looked deeply into Obito's eyes, having anticipated this move. However, he still had his trump cards.
Madara asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Obito pointed at the allied ninja forces. "Help me hold them off."
Madara chuckled, "Becoming the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki shouldn't be that troublesome for you, right?"
Obito replied, "People always need to bid farewell to the past and embrace a new future."
Madara pointed at the two kids in the sky, grinning, "Leave those two brats to you. If you can't handle them, you can ask me for help."
Obito glanced at Madara, casually rejecting, "They're just two kids."
After Madara left, Obito looked up at the sky, locking eyes with Naruto and Sasuke through his Mangekyō Sharingan and Rinnegan.
He adjusted his mask and said to Naruto, "How much do you remember from your childhood?"
Naruto replied, "Of course, you even blew me up!"
Obito sneered, "Good, then hate me and try to kill me! Minato-sensei's foolish son!"
Naruto couldn't hold back anymore. He instantly formed a huge Rasengan, diving down from the sky and smashing it toward Obito's face.
"Let me see what you look like under that mask!"
Obito used the Rinnegan's ability to absorb chakra, easily nullifying the Rasengan.
Just as he grabbed Naruto's wrist, Sasuke circled behind him, mocking, "Are you hiding because you're uglier than Kakashi-uncle under that mask?"
With that, Sasuke kicked toward Obito's mask, but Obito had already used Kamui to dodge the attack.
"Not bad speed. That green chakra must be from Haneda, right? You carry his aura."
"Such powerful chakra isn't something a weakling like you could control. Haneda treats you well, what a pity..."
Obito analyzed, looking at Sasuke, who was in Tenseigan Chakra Mode.
Seemingly struck by Obito's words, Sasuke hesitated for half a second due to his lack of battle experience. Obito seized the opportunity and sent Sasuke into the Kamui dimension.
Seeing Sasuke disappear, Naruto, filled with confusion, anger, and rage, shouted, "What did you do to Sasuke?!"
Suddenly, Obito spat out a mouthful of blood, releasing his intangibility, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneering, "I just sent him to a safe place, so I wouldn't accidentally kill him."
"Turns out, that guy isn't obedient at all."
Obito's injury was, of course, from Sasuke, who had suddenly appeared in the Kamui dimension and attacked him.
Naruto, unaware of this, thought Obito was hurt from Sasuke's resistance, believing it was the backlash from his technique.
"Damn you! You hurt Sasuke! I'll tie you up and bring you before my dad and Haneda-uncle to atone for your sins!"
Obito sneered, "Just tie me up to atone? It seems your hatred isn't strong enough yet."
Obito summoned the Ten-Tails, which immediately responded by starting to form a Tailed Beast Bomb in its mouth, aiming at the ninja alliance.
The Tailed Beast Bomb was pointed at the area with the most people, guaranteeing countless casualties with one shot!
"What if I destroy Haneda's carefully built village? What if I destroy Konoha?"
"Your hatred is far from enough to face me, Minato-sensei's foolish son!"
With that, the Ten-Tails launched the Tailed Beast Bomb at the ninja alliance.
Seeing this, Naruto activated full Tailed Beast Mode, using his body to block the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb.
Suddenly, the Tailed Beast Bomb disappeared, and so did Naruto.
When Naruto reappeared, a familiar voice rang in Obito's ear.
"Why do you persist in your delusion? You're hesitating, you're doubting, Obito."
It was Minato's voice.
Obito looked toward the source of the voice but only saw Naruto's figure.
The Edo Tensei Minato was still fighting Madara on the other side.
"So that's it, no wonder your hatred isn't enough. The chakra left by them back then has lasted until now."
Obito glanced at Haneda, still trapped in the Limited Tsukuyomi illusion, and roughly guessed what Haneda had done.
He's probably covering for me...
But at this point, does it still matter?
