Chapter 411: Tell The Truth
"First, let me correct something. Think about how you appeared that night, wearing a black robe that covered your entire body, with a mask that exposed only one eye. Your voice changed completely, becoming hoarse and deep, and you even grew taller. Even if you were to stand in front of your past self, do you think your former self would recognize you?" Nagasawa skillfully retorted.
He had confronted him during the simulation of the Fourth Great Shinobi World War, so he was quite adept at it.
"In Minato’s memory, his disciple Obito Uchiha died as a hero for Konoha. When a mysterious masked man tried to break the seal and releasing the Nine-Tails approached him, do you think he would consider associating this person with his heroic disciple? No, he wouldn’t. He would only speculate that this is some ambitious individual," Nagasawa answered before Obito could respond.
Obito didn’t argue, either because he found Nagasawa’s reasoning too convincing or because Nagasawa’s recent beating left him speechless.
"And things aren’t as simple as you think. I’m not as strong as I am now back then." Nagasawa sighed.
If he was this strong back then, the Third Great Shinobi World War wouldn’t have happened. He could have just eliminated all villages that defied him, then held a Five Kage Summit to announce a new order."
Even a Kage could die in a war, let alone Nagasawa back then.
During the war, he wasn’t even on the same battlefield as Obito and the others.
All Nagasawa could do was pretend to look for Minato and subtly give hints to Obito and the others.
However, it obviously didn’t work since Obito had already been targeted by Madara. Even without the Kannabi Bridge mission this time, the trio would be in danger regardless.
Unless there was an absolute force that could break the deadlock, it was all useless.
