Obito Reborn With Double Kamui

Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Minato’s Misunderstanding



[🎉 Shoutout to Nathan, Darjaviou & Victor for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]

At this moment, Minato finally realized belatedly that Kakashi was the son of Sakumo.

Seeing this, he said apologetically, "Sorry, Kakashi, I didn't mean to bring up Senior Sakumo."

Kakashi shook his head, "It's okay, Minato-sensei. I won't always dwell on the sadness of the past. The fact that you mention my father means that even you acknowledge his strength. I should be happy about that."

Namikaze Minato hadn't expected Kakashi to be so open-minded and smiled.

"Kakashi, your father was a true powerhouse. I believe that one day, you will be just as strong as him."

"Actually, to tell you a secret, when I heard about your father's matter, I deeply respected him. I never thought he did anything wrong."

Kakashi suddenly felt a bit moved, 'Is this what Obito meant by saying Minato-sensei was like the sun in everyone's eyes?'

'Minato-sensei really is a great teacher.'

Rin, standing nearby, noticed something else. Her eyes sparkled, "Minato-sensei, you just said that if Obito mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, he might become one of the elite among the Jonin. Does that mean he would be as strong as the Legendary Sannin?"

Namikaze Minato hesitated, "Perhaps not quite. After all, the Sannin are veteran ninjas with extensive knowledge and experience, which isn't easy to make up for."

"But… a ninja's strength isn't determined in such a straightforward way. Battles between ninjas involve all kinds of variables—intelligence, ability countermeasures, and other factors that can change the final outcome."

Minato continued, "So, in my opinion, being an elite among Jonin means excelling in a specific aspect to the point where conventional means cannot counter it."

"For example, even though Jiraiya-sensei is incredibly powerful, he isn't as mobile as I am."

"In battle, if I can fully utilize this advantage, even Jiraiya-sensei wouldn't be able to do anything against me. I might even have the possibility of defeating him. In that case, why wouldn't I be considered an elite among the Jonin?"

"The same goes for Obito. If he learns the Flying Thunder God Technique, he would have the ability to stand undefeated against true powerhouses and even inflict damage. That alone would make him one of the elite among Jonin."

Rin nodded, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Even though she knew Obito was strong—strong enough to challenge the Five Kage, strong enough to fight against the entire world—many of his abilities relied on his eyes, which had severe side effects.

She didn't want Obito to rely on them too often.

But from Minato-sensei, she saw the possibility that Obito could be a formidable ninja without using his eyes. How could she not be hopeful?

Kakashi, however, noticed something else in Minato-sensei's words and couldn't help but ask,

"Minato-sensei, are you Jiraiya-sama's disciple?"

Minato nodded, "Yes, Jiraiya-sensei is my mentor. I learned a lot from him, which allowed me to grow to my current level."

Kakashi sincerely expressed his gratitude, "I see. Thank you, Minato-sensei. Your explanation today has given me a deeper understanding of what it means to become Hokage."

Minato, on the other hand, felt a bit embarrassed and laughed, "None of you doubt the truth of what I said about having the strength to defeat Jiraiya-sensei? After all, I don't have much fame yet."

Obito just smiled without saying anything.

He was joking, right? In his eyes, Minato-sensei was much harder to deal with than Jiraiya-sama.

Although the Third Shinobi War hadn't started yet, and Minato-sensei might not be as strong as he would become in the future, just as Minato-sensei had said—when a ninja mastered an ability that others couldn't counter, normal logic no longer applied.

The intangibility of Kamui, which couldn't be countered, made him unafraid of even the more advanced Rinnegan.

Rin and Kakashi also had no objections. They already knew that this man would one day become the Fourth Hokage—a village leader. How could he not be strong?

Seeing their unsurprised expressions, Minato felt a bit emotional, "I didn't expect my students to believe in me so much."

Then, he looked at Kakashi.

"Kakashi, you seem very interested in becoming Hokage. Are you also working towards that goal?"

Kakashi shook his head, "No, I don't have a strong desire to become Hokage. I just suddenly thought of a certain someone from our childhood who always shouted about becoming Hokage. I wanted to evaluate how difficult it would be for him."

Obito snorted, "Kakashi, do you think I can't hear you?"

Minato chuckled and turned to look at Obito, "So, it was Obito who wanted to become Hokage? That's a great ambition. But I must remind you, being powerful isn't enough to become Hokage. You also need the recognition of the entire village."

Obito's expression suddenly became a bit downcast, "Minato-sensei, becoming Hokage was my childhood dream. But now, I've entrusted that dream to someone else. I… no longer wish to become Hokage."

Namikaze Minato was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Obito's expression showed a hint of reminiscence, "Maybe because I'm not worthy. Maybe because I've come to understand a lot of things. In the end, becoming Hokage isn't that big of a deal. Besides, the person I entrusted my dream to is much more qualified than I am."

Minato became even more curious, "Obito, I don't know what happened to make you give up on becoming Hokage, but the person you entrusted your dream to must be someone very important to you, right?"

Obito looked at Minato, and an image of Naruto appeared in his mind—

That same bright and cheerful personality, that same blond hair, that same immense strength…

"Minato-sensei, he… he's a lot like me when I was younger. We were even rivals for a long time. But in the end, he convinced me."

"But sorry, Minato-sensei. I can't tell you who he is yet. I can only say that he's someone very important to you as well."

Minato hadn't expected Obito to say something like this.

"Someone important to me? Wait… does this have something to do with your guilt toward me?"

Obito nodded, "Yeah. His tragedy was caused entirely by me. That's the root of my guilt. But one day, I will tell you everything, Minato-sensei."

However, Namikaze Minato suddenly thought of a possibility. His brows furrowed slightly, "That person… wouldn't happen to have the surname Uzumaki, would they?"

Obito didn't respond for a moment, but his silence was as good as an answer.

At that moment, Namikaze Minato could no longer remain calm.

A dream of becoming Hokage… the Uzumaki surname… someone important to him…

"Sorry, Obito, but you need to explain this clearly. If it's that person, I absolutely cannot overlook even the slightest detail!", Namikaze Minato's expression became serious.

Obito shook his head, "Don't worry, Minato-sensei. The person I'm talking about isn't Sister Kushina."

"But… just like my guilt toward you, my guilt toward Sister Kushina is even greater. However, for now, I still can't tell you why."
