[Hashirama Senju]: Otouto! Even if many Uchiha caused chaos, we can't say the whole Uchiha Clan is evil.
[Madara Uchiha] @ [Tobirama Senju]: Are you saying my entire clan is evil?!
[Tobirama Senju]: Isn't it obvious? You all saw the footage. Do I really need to explain what Obito did?
[Tobirama Senju] @ [Madara Uchiha]: And you! Even before you fought my brother, you were already plotting to disrupt peace and start a war.
[Madara Uchiha] @ [Sasuke Uchiha]: Hear that? In the Second Hokage's eyes, our clan is pure evil. You still want to become the Seventh Hokage? Turn back. You've got potential—come follow me instead.
[Sasuke Uchiha]: I'll make my own choices. Anyone who wrongs the Uchiha—I'll make them pay. But I also won't lose to Naruto. I will become the Seventh Hokage. I'll make sure Naruto never gets the chance.
[Naruto Uzumaki]: Sasuke! I will become Hokage! I swear! 100%—believe it!
[Hinata Hyuga]: Naruto-kun! I believe in you! I know you can do it!
[Kushina Uzumaki]: Naruto, don't be afraid. There will always be challenges and setbacks—what matters is that you keep moving forward. And I believe—you will succeed.
[Minato Namikaze] @ [Naruto Uzumaki]: Son, I became Hokage through hard work and perseverance. I believe you'll surpass me. You'll succeed.
[Tobirama Senju]: Naruto! My brother and I are both rooting for you—so don't you dare lose to that Uchiha brat!
[Izuna Uchiha]: Tobirama, that's too much! You're calling us "evil" like it's nothing!
[Sakura Haruno] @ [Sasuke Uchiha]: Sasuke, I support you. I know you won't lose to Naruto.
[Ino Yamanaka] @ [Sasuke Uchiha]: Me too. You're always number one in my heart!
[Fugaku Uchiha] @ [Sasuke Uchiha]: Sasuke, we are not an evil clan. It's true Konoha wronged us, but I trust you'll make your own decisions. Whatever you choose—I'll support you.
[Mikoto Uchiha] @ [Sasuke Uchiha]: And your mother will always love and support you too. Always.
[Itachi Uchiha] @ [Sasuke Uchiha]: Onii-chan! You sure are obsessed with that Seventh Hokage title. But I think you'll lose to Naruto. Because if you come looking for me—you'll die.
[Sasuke Uchiha]: Itachi! Don't underestimate me. I'm not the person I used to be!
[Naruto Uzumaki]: Sasuke! Let's compete fairly for the title of Hokage. But if anyone threatens Konoha—we'll fight them together!
[Sasuke Uchiha]: Hmph! Naruto, don't flatter yourself. Konoha's enemies? I can handle them on my own. I don't need you.
[Hashirama Senju]: Hahaha! This is what I wanted to see—youthful fire and Konoha's bright future! Konoha is in good hands!
The footage resumed:
[The battle between Minato Namikaze and Obito Uchiha begins.]
[Their fighting styles were surprisingly similar: Minato couldn't hit Obito while he was intangible, and Obito couldn't land a hit because Minato used Flying Thunder God to escape.]
[But after just one exchange, Minato had figured it out: Obito had to materialize in order to touch anything. That tiny window—when Obito was vulnerable—was the key to defeating him.]
[Obito Uchiha]: As expected of Sensei. It took him just one exchange to figure out my Kamui's weakness. Meanwhile, someone else needed who knows how many battles to realize it. And yet that someone has the nerve to say their battle IQ is high. Tsk tsk—what a joke. @ [Kakashi Hatake]
[Kakashi Hatake]: Obito… I admit, I'm not as sharp as Sensei. But if you're still set on this path, then you have no right to mock me.
[Obito Uchiha]: Why can't I? The scroll said you had great battle instincts—but compared to Minato-sensei, you're nothing! And let's not forget—Sensei died because of you leaking information.
[Kakashi Hatake]: Obito, it's true. I leaked it. But you were the one who acted on it. You killed Minato-sensei and Kushina!
[Kushina Uzumaki]: Obito, I always had high hopes for you… and Minato always admired you. What you did really let us down.
[Obito Uchiha]: Minato-sensei… Kushina… I am sorry for what happened to you two. But I have no regrets. Everything I've done… is because of Kakashi!
[Kakashi Hatake]: Then let's end this, Obito. You and me.
[Obito Uchiha]: End this? Easy to say. I've got plans to complete with Lord Madara. You? You're nothing.
[Madara Uchiha]: Hahaha! That's right, Obito. Don't let trash distract us from the grand plan.
As the argument cooled, the rest of the group couldn't help but admire Minato's strength.
Especially people like Fourth Raikage A.
Back then, even their combined efforts couldn't beat Obito.
It was only after Kakashi figured out Obito's secret that they managed to bring him down.
But Minato?
He saw through Obito's technique in one round.
That was the Yellow Flash—truly deserving of legend.
Soon, praise flooded the chat.
Kushina and Naruto both felt proud—
One for marrying such a great husband.
The other, for being the son of such a powerful man.
Even Hinata, though silent, felt immense pride.
Thanks to Kushina's teasing, Hinata had already begun to subconsciously accept her identity as Naruto's future wife.
In her heart, Minato and Kushina had quietly become her father- and mother-in-law.
The footage continued:
[This strategy is normally impossible—timing a counterattack the instant someone becomes tangible. Only with incredible speed could one manage it.]
[But Minato's Flying Thunder God made it possible. As they clashed again, he threw a marked kunai.]
[Obito phased through the kunai and attacked Minato. In response, Minato instantly released a Rasengan.]
[Obito's attack came first—it was about to hit Minato's clothes.]
[Obito thought: "Got you. I just need to materialize and you're finished."]
[But Minato had waited for this moment. He instantly teleported to the still-flying kunai—evading and striking in one move.]
[His Rasengan slammed into Obito's back. This was the second stage of Flying Thunder God.]
[Though Obito survived—thanks to Hashirama cells—he still lost an arm.]
[Obito: "Didn't expect that… You really are the Yellow Flash—unpredictable and merciless."]
[Hashirama Senju]: What?! Obito… you also have my cells?! What the hell?!
He didn't know whether to feel flattered or disgusted.
[Tobirama Senju]: See that, brother? I told you! The Uchiha clan is cursed! Not only Madara, now even Obito has your cells. Disgusting!
Hidden Leaf Village – ANBU
Yamato lowered his head.
He hadn't chosen this path—but he, too, had Hashirama's cells.
Did that mean the Second Hokage and others saw him as disgusting too?
[Minato Namikaze]: Obito… When we fought, I had this strange sense of familiarity. If I'd just realized it was you sooner… maybe things could've been different.
[Obito Uchiha]: Sensei… I won't deny it—you were never wrong. I've never blamed you. I blame Kakashi… and this entire twisted world. That's why I joined Lord Madara—to change everything.
[Madara Uchiha]: Enough, Obito. No need to say more.
[Onoki – Third Tsuchikage]: So… was Obito too weak, or was Minato just too strong?
It was a question on everyone's minds.
Obito could control the Nine Tails.
Later, he would stand toe-to-toe with Kage-level enemies during the Fourth Great Ninja War.
But here, against Minato—
He was utterly outclassed.
The answer was clear:
Obito wasn't weak. Minato was just too strong.
The footage resumed:
[Before Obito could recover, Minato teleported directly in front of him—his palm striking Obito's chest.]
[He had secretly placed a Flying Thunder God seal on Obito during the earlier Rasengan hit.]
[Obito froze. Minato followed up with a Contract Seal—severing Obito's connection to the Nine Tails.]
[Obito was stunned, then fled using Kamui, leaving behind one line: "The Nine Tails will be mine eventually!"]
[Fourth Raikage – A]: So this is the Yellow Flash—the one who beat me and Bee. I can't deny it. What a shame he died young. Konoha would be terrifying with him still around.
[Killer Bee]: For real! Not many people impress me—except my bro. But Minato? Mad respect! Yo-ho-ho, spit a flow!
[Madara Uchiha]: Obito, looks like you still fell short. Got wrecked that bad?
[Obito Uchiha]: I won't deny it. I knew all of Sensei's techniques, his fighting style—and still, I lost. Badly. That just proves how strong he was.
The footage continued:
[Minato didn't chase. The immediate threat was the Nine Tails.]
[He returned to the village just as the Nine Tails was preparing another Tailed Beast Bomb…]
