The person speaking was a young Ninja with golden hair who gave people a warm feeling like the sun. Behind him stood two thirteen or fourteen-year-old Ninja.
One little Ninja had silver hair and looked listless, but in his gestures, his movements were sharp and he was highly vigilant against Vegapunk and the others. He was clearly a rare young elite.
The other one was wearing goggles, with an awkward smile on his face. One hand was rubbing the back of his head, and his eyes were drifting, especially not daring to look at Uchiha Obito.
Needless to say, this was little Obito, and the remaining two were Minato Namikaze and Kakashi Hatake.
Uchiha Obito on Vegapunk's side had removed his mask and the black cloak with red clouds, and had made some changes to his appearance, but in reality, neither his voice nor his height and body shape had changed.
No matter how dense little Obito was, he was still a Ninja, not one of those pirates next door who were all face-blind. Plus, after possessing the Three-Tomoed Sharingan, his observation skills greatly increased, so he easily recognized the identity of the adult Uchiha Obito.
Not to mention that in the morning, little Uchiha Obito had already reported everything between himself and the Masked Man to Minato Namikaze.
And Minato Namikaze was also highly vigilant against this group of people who had taken away the Tailed Beasts from all major Ninja villages and were ranked first on the Ninja World's terrorist list. Now that he learned that the super-strong illusion that happened last night was also created by this group, he naturally strengthened his guard.
Then Minato Namikaze and the other two discovered Vegapunk and his group strolling openly in Konohagakure. This group's disguise was not attentive at all. Minato Namikaze, who had mastered specific intelligence, recognized them after just a slight comparison.
Vegapunk glanced at Minato Namikaze: "Very well! However, are we just going to chat on the street?"
Minato Namikaze smiled: "My mistake, please follow me!"
As he spoke, Minato Namikaze had already turned and left, but the moment he turned, the smile on his face had turned into a serious expression.
Vegapunk shrugged indifferently. He could feel that although Minato Namikaze appeared very gentle on the outside, he had actually been extremely vigilant against them in his heart.
However, Vegapunk didn't care about Minato Namikaze's wariness. They were not afraid of any traps and followed Minato Namikaze openly.
Given the current situation in Konohagakure, only Minato Namikaze and the Third Hokage could fight a little. At most, they could take out some forbidden techniques like the Reaper Death Seal or the Four-Corner Sealing Barrier to put on a show. What did they have to deal with the four of them?
Minato Namikaze quickly led Vegapunk's group to a quiet training ground. Subsequently, at his signal, Kakashi Hatake ran to the periphery to do guard work. Only Vegapunk's group of four, Minato Namikaze, and little Obito remained on the field.
Minato Namikaze took a deep breath, looked at Vegapunk, who was the leader of the four, and asked with a serious expression: "Sir, what should I call you?"
"Just call me Dr. Vegapunk. As for the others, this is Hancock, Kaguya, and Tobi."
Vegapunk introduced them casually. He, Hancock, and Kaguya were easy to explain, but Uchiha Obito's identity was really hard to explain, so Vegapunk casually used Uchiha Obito's future code name.
Hearing these unfamiliar names, Minato Namikaze just nodded. Then he looked Vegapunk up and down and asked:
"Dr. Vegapunk, if I'm not mistaken, all the Tailed Beasts were collected by you, right?"
"To be precise, it should be returning them to their original owner." Vegapunk said with a smile, while thinking to himself: Anyway, the Tailed Beasts themselves originated from Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. No matter which world's Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, she should have sovereignty over the Tailed Beasts, right?
"Returning them to their original owner!?" Minato Namikaze frowned. He didn't remember that the Tailed Beasts, these wild natural disasters, had any owners. However, after weighing the strength gap between the two sides, Minato Namikaze finally did not entangle in the Tailed Beasts.
To some extent, it was about the same for the Five Great Ninja Villages whether they had Tailed Beasts or not. The real trouble was just Vegapunk and his group who had collected the Tailed Beasts, not the Tailed Beasts themselves.
Plus, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was Minato Namikaze's wife. From a selfish point of view, he didn't want Uzumaki Kushina to be a Jinchuriki anymore, otherwise even childbirth could be dangerous. Naturally, Minato Namikaze didn't care much about whether the Tailed Beasts returned.
"Alright, let's not talk about the Tailed Beasts. Then, does last night's incident have anything to do with Dr. Vegapunk?"
As he spoke, Minato Namikaze was already secretly prepared for the Flying Thunder God Technique, grabbed little Obito behind him with one hand, and revealed a faint look of vigilance.
"That's right, the Infinite Tsukuyomi chakra network was created by me personally!"
Vegapunk glanced at the nervous Minato Namikaze and admitted it without hesitation.
Not expecting the other party to admit it so easily, Minato Namikaze's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was solemn: "Then, having used such a terrible illusion, Dr. Vegapunk, what exactly do you want to do?"
