Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

Three days later, Minato successfully broke through to the realm of the three seas!

In order to help Minato better master the power of the Three Seas, Dihuangwan took Minato to the open sea for some training!

After a fierce battle, Minato said with emotion: "Teacher, I thought that after I reached the Three Seas Realm, the gap between us would narrow, but unexpectedly, it has become even bigger!"

"Minato, everyone below the Four Seas is at the Kage level, the only difference is strength and endurance. When I fought with Madara, I was only at the Three Seas realm. The Five Seas realm is a leap in life level. In terms of strength, it is equivalent to the Six Paths Sage. In terms of vitality and lifespan, it even exceeds the Six Paths Sage!" Dihuangwan said.

"Indeed, Tai Chi Water Mysterious Skill is truly a heaven-defying skill, and the power of Guiyuan is truly mysterious! The deeper you practice, the more you feel that the path of practice is endless!" Shuimen said.

After the two finished their competition, they did not return to Konoha directly, but came to Tongxin Island. The place where they competed was in the open sea, not far from Tongxin Island!

"Father, Minato-nii-san, were you two sparring with each other just now?"

When the two returned to Tongxin Island, Xiao Yunzhi ran over. As a person who was born to practice Tai Chi Shui Xuan Gong, she was particularly sensitive to the fluctuations of Guiyuan Force!

"Yunzhi, it was indeed me and the teacher who were fighting just now, but it's a pity that I was beaten badly!" Minato rubbed little Yunzhi's head and said gently, revealing his signature sunny smile.

However, the next moment, his smile froze!

Because he saw a familiar figure walking in!

That person was Lin who had already "died" in the Ninja World!

"You are?...Lin?!!!" Minato said in shock!

"Teacher Minato, it's me, Lin!" When Lin saw Minato, she shed tears and felt very sad!

Minato quickly walked over, grabbed Lin's shoulders, and looked at her carefully!

"Minato, don't doubt it, this is Lin!" Dihuangwan said.

Minato turned to look at Dihuangwan, still a little excited, and said: "Teacher, did you save Lin?"

"Yes, it was your master's wife and I who took action and left Lin behind on the battlefield!"

"Is the Master's Wife also involved?"

Feiyun is not in Tongxin Island now. Before Dihuangwan and Shuimen had a competition, he took Feiyun back to the village to take charge temporarily.

"It's good to be alive! It's good to be alive!" Minato's nose felt a little sour and his eyes were red.

"Minato, Lin is now also practicing Tai Chi Water Mysterious Art, and has already broken through the One Sea realm. In terms of speed, she is not inferior to you and Kushina!" Dihuangwan said.

"Really, Lin? That's right. You already have the strength of a Kage in One Sea Realm. Your growth is no slower than Kakashi's!"

Minato placed Kakashi in the Anbu and trained him as the future Anbu chief, just like his father, Hatake Sakumo.

Kakashi is now completely familiar with the Mangekyō Sharingan and the First Generation Cells. Although the Wood Release ability he can use is limited, he can use the Mangekyō Sharingan very well, and his strength is even stronger than during the Fourth Ninja World War in the anime timeline!

In terms of pure strength, Kakashi is now superior to Lin. However, when Lin breaks through to the realm of double seas, the situation will be different!

In other words, Lin, who practices Tai Chi Water Mystical Art, has a much higher upper limit than Kakashi!

"Lin, what exactly happened on the battlefield?" Minato asked.

Lin's mood also fell when she heard Minato bring up the past.

"Minato, let's go back to Konoha and talk about it first. It's a good opportunity for you to prepare yourself mentally!" Dihuangwan said.

Although Minato didn't know what had happened, he could tell from Dihuangwan's words that there was something complicated behind Lin's death!

Afterwards, Dihuangwan and others were teleported back to Konoha!

In Dihuangwan's house, Dihuangwan, Minato, Feiyun, Kushina, and Lin gathered here.

As soon as Xiao Yunzhi arrived in Konoha, she ran to her own fruit supermarket to find her grandma!

"I have already sent a message to Kakashi, he is on the way!" Dihuangwan said to everyone.

Soon, Kakashi knocked on the door and Kushina opened it for him.

"Teacher Kushina, you are here too. What does Lord Dihuangmaru want to talk to me about?" Kakashi said.

"Kakashi, come in, you will understand once you get in!" Kushina said.

Kakashi entered the room and bowed to everyone, "Master Dihuangwan, Sensei, Master Feiyun, you are all here!"

Then, Kakashi's gaze turned to a figure in the corner, and Kakashi and her eyes met!

Kakashi's eyes slowly opened wide, then closed tightly, shook his head violently, and then opened his eyes again!

The figure is still there and has not disappeared!

"I'm not dreaming, am I? Lin, did I dream about you again?" Kakashi murmured.

Lin looked at Kakashi. She was sentimental and gentle, and her eyes turned red. "Kakashi, it's me!"

"Kakashi, it's Rin. She is not dead. It was Master Dihuangwan and his wife who saved her!" said Minato.

"What on earth is going on?!" Kakashi said.

"This is why I called you here, Minato, Kakashi, it's time to tell you the truth!" Dihuangwan said.

An hour later, Minato and Kakashi listened to Dihuangmaru's words and learned the whole truth about the deaths of Kannabihashi and Lin!

"It turns out that Obito was rescued by Uchiha Madara after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, and then Uchiha Madara staged a scene in which Rin was killed for Obito to watch, causing Obito to completely fall into darkness and become Madara's pawn!" said Minato.

"Yes, the man in black robe who appeared when Kushina gave birth was Obito!" Dihuangwan said.

Minato and Kakashi were silent.

"Don't do this, you two. Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu are both dead. The rope that dragged Obito into the abyss has broken. It's time to pull him back to the light!" Dihuangwan said.

"Yes, teacher, Kakashi, let's save Obito!" Lin also said.

"Minato, bring that stupid boy Obito back. I will definitely teach him a lesson. He is so bold as to plot against his master's wife! From now on, he will have to wash Naruto's diapers!" said Kushina.

Kushina's words touched the members of Team 7. Kakashi and Lin bowed to Kushina and said, "Teacher Kushina, we will definitely bring Obito back and let him apologize to you in person!"

Minato also hugged Kushina in his arms full of apology and gratitude, "Kushina, we're sorry, we owe you!"

Everyone agreed to bring Obito back!

"Mr. Dihuang Wan, what should we do next?" Feiyun said.

"I already know where Obito is. He's near the Hidden Rain Village in the Land of Rain!"

"The Hidden Rain Village is now controlled by the Akatsuki organization. The former leader of the Hidden Rain Village, Hanzo Salamander, has been killed by the leader of the Akatsuki organization, Nagato Uzumaki!"

"Uzumaki Nagato? Is he a member of my Uzumaki clan?" Kushina said.

"Yes, he is indeed the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, but he has a more important identity!"

"He is the vessel of Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan!"

"The container of the Rinnegan? What does that mean?" Kushina asked.

"When Uchiha Madara awakened the power of the universe and opened the Samsara Eye, his body had already aged. In order to protect the Samsara Eye, he found Nagato and transplanted the Samsara Eye to him, using the powerful vitality of Nagato's Uzumaki clan to nourish the Samsara Eye!"

"What?! You actually used the blood of my Uzumaki clan to do such a thing! Damn Uchiha Madara!" Kushina said angrily.
