Since they were kids, Obito had never won against Kakashi. Every time, he'd end up pinned beneath him.
Obito's face turned red again as he prepared to fight Kakashi. No matter what, he wouldn't back down—even if he got pinned again, he had to keep up appearances!
Seeing this, Rin sighed helplessly and stepped forward to calm them down, as if she were taking care of two troublemaking little brothers. She had the full aura of a gentle older sister.
Besides, Rin could clearly tell that even though Kakashi's words were harsh, he was actually looking out for Obito. He was worried that Obito might break the ninja code and end up getting interrogated by the ANBU.
Of course, there was no way a stubborn tsundere like Kakashi would ever show his concern openly. His dynamic with Obito was the classic love-hate rivalry.
By the way, the other teammates standing nearby watched Minato's team interact and couldn't help but feel like they were unnecessary extras—like they didn't belong here and should just crawl under a car.
Still, in the end, they all found out what the sudden S-rank mission was about and that the Kirigakure ninjas had actually been taken care of by Namikaze Minato.
The three of them had just happened to be there and taken some credit for his achievements.
Of course, as for how Namikaze Minato dealt with those enemies and the details of the battle, that couldn't be disclosed. The specifics were classified information.
After all, before Nagato's attack on Konoha, battles in the ninja world were primarily intelligence warfare—not the later power-scaling Saiyan-style ninja battles.
Minato's fighting style and battle process were crucial pieces of intel that couldn't be leaked casually.
Even though people knew he used the Flying Thunder God Technique, without detailed information, it was extremely difficult for enemies to prepare countermeasures.
Still, for a group of newly graduated genin, just knowing about this was enough for them to brag about for a long time. In the end, they left feeling completely satisfied.
After that, Team Minato, still bickering as usual, headed to the Akimichi clan's barbecue restaurant. There, they saw Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Kai, and Uzumaki Kikyō, who had already booked a private room.
Faced with the older shinobi, the three immediately stopped their noisy antics and greeted them politely like well-behaved children.
Uzumaki Kushina, full of enthusiasm, invited them to sit down and generously waved her hand, declaring that they could eat all the barbecue they wanted—she was covering the entire bill.
Her demeanor was bold and extravagant, and she certainly had the means to back it up.
Although she regretted not being able to play genjutsu games, Kushina had become incredibly wealthy after investing in Konoha Gaming Company through her expertise in sealing scrolls.
Moreover, Uchiha Kai, considering Minato and Kushina's future, had directly handed over the sealing scroll production channels to her.
Thanks to this business, Kushina was raking in money. Her favorite thing to do these days was count how much she had earned the previous day—experiencing the joy (and hand cramps) of counting money non-stop.
Now, she was seriously considering buying a large mansion in Konoha with Minato.
It was clear that Uchiha Kai's words had an effect—this fiery red pepper no longer felt that living in an apartment suited them.
For the sake of their future children, buying a big house was now a necessity.
With a steady stream of income and a visibly improving lifestyle, Uzumaki Kushina's mood had been much better lately.
Even though she was still somewhat restricted in her movements, she was genuinely happy.
"If only I could play a Genjutsu game too, that would be even better."
So occasionally spending money recklessly could also make Uzumaki Kushina happy.
Understanding his girlfriend's thoughts, Namikaze Minato smiled gently and told his students to order whatever they wanted without worrying about money.
Seeing such generosity, the three kids were both excited and grateful. The quick-witted Obito even called Kushina "Sensei's wife" directly.
This made Kushina's face turn slightly red, while Minato just grinned foolishly in happiness—until a shy but flustered Kushina elbowed him in the side, making him experience pain mixed with joy.
However, Kushina didn't correct Obito's way of addressing her. Instead, her gaze toward him softened, thinking that she should take better care of Minato's student in the future.
Uchiha Kai, who was observing from the side, raised an eyebrow slightly.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes—seeing how Minato and Kushina treated Obito made him think of what Obito would do to their clan in the original story.
That Uchiha Obito was an unforgivable monster!
If this cheerful and carefree Obito still ended up walking the same dark path, then Uchiha Kai wouldn't hesitate to show him what true torture meant.
Right now, Uchiha Kai had the confidence to do so.
Then, Kai got up and left for a while before returning shortly after.
At the same time, in the main hall of the restaurant, a few more Uchiha clan members had taken up a large table.
It turned out that Kai had called in the hidden Uchiha guards to join them for a barbecue feast.
After all, there was no need to worry about an attack in this restaurant.
Not only did the Akimichi clan have their own clan ninja guarding the place, but if something truly dangerous happened, Minato was there as well.
And if they encountered an enemy so powerful that even Minato couldn't handle them, then the Uchiha guards wouldn't be of much use either—the only logical move would be to retreat together.
By the way, Uchiha Naori was directly invited by Uchiha Kai to join the meal. Although she was a bodyguard, she was an open one, having already met people like Minato Namikaze. She had even eaten at Minato's house during a previous gathering.
Now that everyone was gathering for a barbecue, Uchiha Kai naturally invited her as well.
With everyone finally arriving, the meal began after everyone raised their cups and drank together.
The enjoyable barbecue feast lasted for over an hour before it ended.
Once everyone was full and ready to head home, Uchiha Kai called everyone to stop.
Or rather, he stopped Uchiha Obito, flashing a warm smile as he looked at him and said, "Obito, would you like to awaken your eyes? If you do, come with me! I've just completed a new game, and there's content specifically designed for the Uchiha clan."
"I think, if it works, even you can open your eyes this time. So, would you like to help me test the new game?"
