Chapter 35: The Purpose of the Kyuubi Rebellion
"Sir, why did Obito attack Konoha?"
"The reason is simple. Obito just wants to weaken Konoha and maintain the balance of the entire ninja world." Lux answered.
"Weaken Konoha?"
Minato was a little confused. After the Third Great Ninja War ended, there was no winner.
All the major villages suffered heavy losses, and Konoha also had to bear the consequences.
Lux briefly explained to both Minato.
After the Third Great Ninja War:
Sunagakure Village's Third Kazekage disappeared, and civil war broke out, which greatly damaged its vitality and almost destroyed it. Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, was barely able to restore the village and could not attack.
Kirigakure Village's Third Mizukage, Bijuu lost control, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen collapsed, the Blood Mist policy killed a large number of ninjas, and some of the remaining elite Anbu were also killed by Obito, and they were also unable to attack.
Iwagakure Village, in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Minato destroyed fifty Iwagakure elites, and 10,000 Iwagakure troops forcibly killed the Third Raikage, with the most casualties.
Kumogakure Village's Third Raikage died in battle, and there were also many casualties.
As for Konoha Village, let alone. During the Third Great Ninja War, Might Guy and the others graduated at the age of 7. This means that Konoha was in dire need of basic combat strength at that time, and had no choice but to significantly reduce the graduation time of students.
Battle of Kannabi Bridge: A thousand Iwagakure ninjas invaded, and Konoha could no longer allocate troops to intercept them. That's why there was a bleak situation where Kakashi was quickly promoted to Jonin, and the four members of Minato's squad were divided into two groups, with three people blowing up the bridge and one supporting them.
Battle of Mount Kikyo: Konoha was defeated to its doorstep. It can be imagined how tragic the battle was and how weak Konoha was. This battle was very close to the Battle of Kannabi Bridge. Perhaps because the Battle of Mount Kikyo exposed Konoha's weakness, Onoki forced a thousand people to attack the Land of Fire.
Compared to the tragedy of the Third Great Ninja War, the Fourth Great Ninja War was to some extent just a joke.
The five major villages suffered heavy losses in the Third Great Ninja War.
Only because of the existence of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, although Konoha suffered heavy losses, it still had a great advantage over the other four villages.
The Yellow Flash wouldn't explain in detail, but one person is worth half a Ninja Village.
And Kushina is not just a housewife, but a living Jinchuuriki. Although she is not a perfect Jinchuuriki, she definitely has the ability to control the Kyuubi with the Uzumaki Clan's techniques and launch a "nuclear attack".
With their presence, Konoha almost had the terrifying ability to destroy the other four villages after the Third Great Ninja War.
Therefore, the Kyuubi Rebellion was actually Obito correcting his mistake.
If it was only to capture the Kyuubi, he could have taken the Kyuubi away as soon as he succeeded. Why move the Kyuubi in Konoha Village and let it wreak havoc?
His fundamental goal is to exterminate the Uzumaki Clan and make Konoha lose its active 'nuclear attack' ability!
Otherwise, the post-war world would be dominated by Konoha and Minato, which would seriously disrupt the development of Akatsuki and the ultimate plan of the Moon's Eye.
As long as Minato and Kushina died, the five villages would regain a relatively balanced power again.
Of course, overall, the strength of Kumogakure Village would be relatively the highest.
So after the Kyuubi Rebellion, Kumogakure Village immediately went to war against Konoha, and the war lasted for three years, but no results were found. So they decided to send someone to capture Hyuga Hinata and test her further.
If Konoha still had an active 'nuclear attack' ability, diplomatically they wouldn't be too weak.
Finally, Kumogakure Village explored the bottom of Konoha, and then asked for the Byakugan.
Even seven years later, on the night of the Uchiha Clan genocide, Obito was willing to help Itachi exterminate the Uchiha Clan.
He may also have realized that Danzo planned to manipulate the Sharingan to restore Konoha's active 'nuclear attack' ability. That's why he participated in the night of genocide, completely cutting off all of Konoha's means to control the Bijuu, and obtained a number of Sharingan as a backup.
❀❀❀
After hearing this explanation, Minato suddenly understood again.
Some of the previous doubts became clear.
No wonder Obito insisted on controlling the Kyuubi to destroy Konoha.
It turned out that it was to weaken Konoha and maintain the overall balance of the ninja world.
If the Kyuubi was truly sealed into Naruto and couldn't be used, then Obito would have no reason to attack.
So cruel!
"Obito, how could he become like this?"
"It's simple. After his beloved Rin died, he naturally began to hate the whole world and the entire ninja system. Coupled with Madara's deception, it's no wonder he came up with the idea to destroy the world and then reshape it." Lux said lightly.
Minato was silent, really not knowing how to feel regret.
As a teacher, he was also heartbroken for not being able to save Rin.
Rin was also his student!
But knowing that Madara was plotting behind his back, Minato could only sigh helplessly.
It was when he was selected to carry out the mission that he controlled Rin to attack Konoha.
Whether it was mental calculation or not, no matter how fast Hiraishin no Jutsu was, he couldn't be everywhere!
However, there was no point in regretting these things now.
Finding a way to deal with future disasters was the most important thing Minato needed to do.
"So, as long as Kushina and I are still alive, the Akatsuki organization and Obito will still find ways to kill us? Or even cooperate with Kumogakure Village?"
"That's right."
"One Kumogakure Village is enough to make Konoha miserable. Coupled with Obito and the Akatsuki organization with the Rinnegan, do you think Konoha still has hope of winning?"
Minato nodded, understanding the difference.
If he and Kushina didn't take action, Konoha would almost certainly lose!
What Lux wanted was for Minato to come out again in the end to turn the situation around and unite the entire Konoha.
If his plan was good, Obito and Nagato could be eliminated, which would directly shorten the blade of progress in Unifying the Ninja World.
"Yondaime, if you face Obito again, will you kill him?" Lux asked.
Minato pondered for a moment and gave an answer: "I want to defeat him, give him another chance, and try my best to persuade him to come back. But, if it really can't be changed, I will kill him personally!"
Minato's kindness and determination were always evident.
He wanted to save Obito. But if Obito persisted and continued to hurt the village and his family, he would never show mercy.
"Then why don't you teleport now, give him a Rasengan, and then capture him?"
"Sorry, but the Hiraishin mark on him is beyond the reach of my chakra perception… Maybe he has also removed the mark."
"Can the Hiraishin mark be removed?"
"Generally, it can be kept forever. But if the opponent cuts off his flesh or crushes his kunai, the mark will still disappear."
Lux nodded and didn't ask any further.
After all, sooner or later he would face Obito again, so there was no need to rush.
"Minato, where is Kakashi?"
Kushina asked anxiously. For a long time during her previous pregnancy, Kakashi silently protected her.
She was also worried that the news about Obito would upset Kakashi.
"Don't worry, I'll find the right time to tell him."
"Tell him now, I'm worried he'll run away from the village to find Obito." Minato said anxiously.
He knew very well how important Obito was to Kakashi's heart.
"Good."
At that moment.
"Oek Oek~~"
Naruto's crying sound came from inside the house. He was obviously hungry and wanted to be fed…
Kushina quickly picked up Naruto.
Minato beside him was also confused, revealing his shame as a new father.
