Who exactly is this person?
He knows my real identity?!
Obito was instantly shocked.
Thankfully, the mask concealed his expression.
At this point, his agreent with Itachi no longer mattered.
Compared to anything else—
The exposure of his identity was the true crisis.
Now, Obito Uchiha no longer cared about the survival of the Uchiha clan whatsoever.
His expression twisted viciously as he pursued the Naruto Shadow Clone controlled by Kurama.
No matter who this person was—
Or what abilities he possessed—
Anyone who knew Obito's true identity absolutely could not be allowed to survive tonight.
Even if the Third Hokage himself personally appeared.
"As long as he took the bait, that's enough."
anwhile, watching Obito chase after him, Kurama couldn't help feeling a surge of satisfaction.
After all, he'd spent most of his life being manipulated by the Uchiha.
Being able to play one of them around in circles now felt incredibly refreshing.
Still—
Once Obito beca serious, he clearly stopped holding back.
Kamui's bizarre movent abilities nearly allowed him to catch the clone multiple tis.
Controlling the Shadow Clone directly, Kurama pushed the clone's physical limits to the absolute extre through reckless overuse under the enhancent of natural energy.
The clone now moved at speeds nearly identical to Naruto's when he first mastered Sage Mode in Kurama's mories.
For ordinary shinobi—
This was already a speed impossible to follow with the naked eye.
Of course, that didn't an the clone could fully unleash Sage Mode's power.
In reality, without exposing Kurama's chakra, relying solely on the weak chakra reserves of a Shadow Clone ant all other capabilities had been sacrificed entirely for speed.
The mont Obito caught up—
It was over.
And judging from the current situation, even with completely irregular movent patterns through the Uchiha district, it was only a matter of ti before Kamui allowed Obito to catch him.
"Minato…"
Kurama narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You'd better hurry this ti."
"Don't be late again."
anwhile—
Minato appeared inside Naruto's apartnt while dragging along Izumi Uchiha, who was still tightly bound in chains.
"The Flying Thunder God marker I left before… why is it here…?"
The instant he landed, Minato quickly examined the room and frowned.
But he imdiately understood.
On Naruto's table sat a familiar three-pronged kunai.
His Flying Thunder God kunai.
Unexpectedly, Naruto actually possessed one.
Back when Minato beca the Fourth Hokage, he had gifted Flying Thunder God kunai to every major clan within Konoha as ergency contingencies.
And now—
The existence of this kunai here proved that Hiashi Hyūga truly knew Naruto's real identity.
Which made things much easier.
"Naruto's Flying Thunder God markers… if the Hyūga compound hasn't changed locations…"
Minato imdiately focused.
"Found it."
Normally, Flying Thunder God markers contained the chakra signature unique to the user.
Even if soone else learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, they still couldn't utilize another person's markers.
But Naruto's case was different.
Because Minato himself had personally spent three months within Naruto's dreams repeatedly designing the system with him countless tis.
Whether it was chakra resonance or Flying Thunder God application—
Minato understood Naruto's markers even better than Naruto himself.
Placing one hand upon Izumi's body, Minato slightly adjusted the marker's chakra perception.
Then both of them vanished once more.
"After reviewing a little more tonight, I should sleep early…"
Inside her room, Hinata quietly studied while unconsciously thinking about Naruto.
"Tomorrow I'll get to see Naruto-kun and everyone again…"
Ever since Naruto invited her and Sasuke to train together every day after school, Hinata had finally gained a perfectly natural excuse to remain beside him while improving together.
For the shy Hinata—
That kind of daily life made her incredibly happy.
"Little Hinata, I'll need you to temporarily take care of her."
The sudden voice behind her startled Hinata badly.
She hurriedly turned around.
Thanks to the Byakugan, mbers of the Hyūga clan could see clearly even within dark rooms at night.
Thus, Hinata imdiately saw Naruto placing a girl bound tightly in chains onto the floor—
Before vanishing again instantly.
"Eh?"
Hinata stared blankly at the unconscious Izumi Uchiha lying on the ground.
What…
What exactly was happening?
"Good thing the Hyūga clan is an ancient family. Hardly anything changed over the past few years."
Following the mories within his mind, Minato moved silently through the Hyūga compound corridors without making even the slightest sound.
"Who's there?"
Not long afterward, Hiashi Hyūga—quietly ditating within his room—suddenly opened his Byakugan.
Veins bulged around his eyes.
The stern-faced clan head instantly activated the vision capable of seeing through everything around him.
His expression turned icy cold.
Soone had infiltrated his ho again.
And tonight—
He himself was present within the compound.
These fools truly no longer respected the Hyūga clan at all.
The situation instantly reminded Hiashi of the humiliating incident years ago.
Soone infiltrated the Hyūga estate back then as well.
Hiashi personally captured the intruder—
Yet in the end, his younger brother Hizashi sacrificed his own life in his place.
A aningless death.
Rembering that event only fueled the anger rising inside Hiashi further.
He stepped out of the room.
The mont his Byakugan clearly captured the intruder's chakra and appearance—
Just as Hiashi prepared to teach the fool a lesson about the current Konoha and the Hyūga clan—
He froze completely.
anwhile—
Elsewhere—
After separating from Naruto, Sasuke hurried back toward the Uchiha district.
Yet as he looked at the familiar streets around him, a strange unease slowly rose within his heart.
"It's not even bedti yet…"
"So why's there no light anywhere?"
Suddenly—
A chill ran down Sasuke's spine.
The sensation of being watched made him instinctively turn toward a nearby lamp post behind him—
Nothing was there.
"What is this feeling…"
This was already the second ti today he felt soone observing him from behind.
Sasuke clenched his fists tighter.
The unease inside him only grew stronger.
Suddenly—
He broke into a run.
Nervous, Sasuke deliberately avoided the completely dark main roads.
The mont he turned into a side alley—
He froze.
Blood.
Everywhere he looked—
Walls.
Doors.
Ground.
Everything was stained red.
Motionless bodies lay collapsed in pools of blood.
The wooden doors were riddled with shuriken and kunai marks.
Every blade carried blood upon it, as though proudly declaring their work completed.
So blood splattered across the walls had already dried.
More still flowed slowly across the ground.
"What… what happened here…?"
"Uncle? Auntie?!"
Shaking violently, Sasuke staggered forward while fearfully examining the surroundings.
Then he recognized familiar people.
His face filled with horror as he rushed over to check on them—
Only to discover they had long since stopped breathing.
A massive slash wound across their backs continuously spilled fresh blood outward.
Young Sasuke completely panicked.
He didn't understand what had happened.
Terrified, he stumbled backward two steps.
Then suddenly—
He realized sothing.
"Mom! Dad!"
Sasuke sprinted desperately toward ho.
Along the way, the once-familiar clan district had transford into hell itself.
Corpses.
Blood.
Broken buildings.
Everywhere.
He couldn't understand it.
Just this morning, the clan district had still been peaceful.
So why…
Why had it beco like this?!
