Chapter 347: Obito: Can You Leave Some Human Rights Behind?
Seeing Orochimaru pounce on Obito, he appeared almost insane and obsessed with him.
Minato, standing nearby, couldn't contain his worry:
"Sir, Obito... is this really appropriate?"
"Do you want to spare your student? Spare the murderer who almost killed you, your wife, and your child?"
"..."
Minato hesitated. Honestly, he certainly didn't want to kill Obito.
However, Obito had already committed numerous sins, and the Kyuubi Night had also claimed the lives of many Konoha villagers.
Although he was essentially a victim, merely a pawn deceived and exploited by Black Zetsu.
Yet, the hatred wouldn't just disappear. Many families of Konoha's victims wanted to torture Obito!
As the Hokage, it was difficult for him to protect his student.
Bringing Obito back alive would only cause various conflicts; and it would make it easier to prove the fact that Konoha colluded with Obito to kill the Jinchūriki and the leaders of various villages.
