Naruto: Strength Through Teaching

Chapter 89: Running Out Of Time

In Mutsuki's impression, the Third Great Ninja War can be described as extremely chaotic. Everyone was attacking each other, and then they ganged up on Konoha together.

Hidden Cloud attacked the hidden Sand and Konoha, Iwagakure attacked Konoha while sneaking up on the rear of Hidden Cloud, hidden Sand repelled Hidden Cloud. Seeing everyone attacking Konoha, the Mist ninjas, who rarely participated in ninja wars, thought, "It would be awkward if I don't join in," and also started attacking Konoha.

The Kazekage disappeared, so let's go attack Konoha.

The brats from Hidden Cloud are annoying; let's go attack Konoha.

In any case, not knowing whom to attack, let's just go for Konoha.

In the Third Great Ninja War, Konoha faced encounters like these.

If it weren't for the sudden arrival of a man, the Yellow-flash Minato Namikaze, the outcome of the Third Great Ninja War would have been hard to predict.

'Iwagakure, with ten thousand ninjas, surrounded and killed the Third Raikage. Yahiko was forced to death by the joint efforts of Danzo and Hanzo, leading Nagato to turn dark. Uchiha Madara manipulated Obito into darkness, and Might Duy opened the Gate of Death, turning the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist into a pile of dead bodies...'

Mutsuki recalled the major events of the Third Great Ninja War, sighing at the dangers of the ninja world.

If following the original storyline, the next events would involve Nohara Rin getting fatally injured by Kakashi's Chidori, Obito succumbing to madness, and Guy's father Duy sacrificing himself by opening the Gate of Death to protect Guy.

Curiously, Shisui seemed to escape any losses during the Third Great Ninja War and even earned the title of "Body Flicker Shisui."

However, given that Shisui activated the Sharingan during the Third Great Ninja War, Mutsuki believed that there must have been events during this period that Shisui did not want to witness.

"The time for growth is running out..."

Mutsuki remembered that just before Obito's descent into darkness, Kakashi had recently been promoted to Jonin, becoming a Jonin at the young age of twelve.

Kakashi and Obito are the same age, but now Obito is only eight years old. In other words, if there's a desire to change everything, there are only four years left for him to grow.

Although the exact timing of Guy's incident is unknown, it likely occurred during the intense period of the war, with the time difference not being too significant.

Guy's situation is relatively manageable; after all, it's just a matter of unfortunate luck encountering the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. With three to four years of development, Mutsuki should be able to handle it.

Obito's situation is more troublesome.

On the surface, it appears to be a tragedy caused by a normal war, but it's actually a conspiracy orchestrated by Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu lurking in the shadows.

If we maintain an optimistic mindset, his opponents are just an old man who needs a catheter to sustain life and a puddle of black sludge.

If the outlook is less optimistic, his opponents include the reincarnation through Indra's chakra, currently the only living Rinnegan wielder Uchiha Madara, and Black Zetsu who is the third son of the Chakra originator, Otsutsuki Kaguya.

Mutsuki Yumi is just a Chunin sensei at the ninja school.

"Mutsuki, what are you daydreaming about?" Kushina's voice woke Mutsuki from his contemplation.
