Namikaze Minato's shocked expression, in Kakashi's view, was completely normal.
Even he would feel the same way if he heard his disciple say that.
At that moment, Kakashi suddenly thought of Naruto.
Isn't he the one who came back from the future?
"Ahem... Minato-sensei, first let me explain this Sharingan. If I hadn't come back, Obito would have been killed by the Rock Shinobi's Earth Style ninjutsu after opening his Sharingan. I also got scratched and lost sight in my left eye. Before Obito died, he had Rin transplant his eyes to me. This is why I have the Sharingan. After I leave tomorrow, I won't retain any of its abilities. The me that exists now possesses the strength from the future."
Kakashi pointed to his left eye and explained with a sigh.
"You mean, in the original timeline, Obito will die on this mission. You changed history!"
Namikaze Minato stared sharply at Kakashi, his expression serious.
'This Kakashi, why is he so oblivious? Once history changes, the future must also be affected. Last time in Loulan, I sealed the memories of both myself and Kakashi just to prevent this situation. Unexpectedly, Kakashi has changed history this time!'
Namikaze Minato sighed inwardly, staring helplessly at Kakashi, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Could he really let Obito die as originally intended?
No matter how indifferent Obito may be, he is still his disciple. It is impossible for Namikaze Minato to know that Obito is going to die and remain indifferent!
Perhaps this is Kakashi's way of thinking.
"Yes, I changed history. I also want to change your destiny. Teacher Minato, Kushina, Obito, and Rin—I want to alter your fates to prevent your deaths."
Kakashi didn't know the complexities of Namikaze Minato's feelings, so he looked at him sincerely and spoke every word earnestly.
That's why Kakashi chose this moment. He believed that Namikaze Minato, armed with this information, would be able to change those regretful futures.
"What? Kushina and Rin too..."
Namikaze Minato's restless heart exploded like a bomb in his chest after hearing Kakashi's words. His eyes widened as he blurted out nervously.
At that moment, Namikaze Minato no longer cared about his own safety. He no longer worried about the impact of changing the future. Instead, he focused solely on Kushina and Rin.
If this is the future, how could Naruto appear in Loulan?
Namikaze Minato froze for a moment, shocked. He had sealed away memories related to Loulan and only remembered the name of his son, Naruto. Beyond that, he knew nothing!
Seeing this, Kakashi didn't think much about it. Anyone who heard this would react similarly, so he continued.
"A few months after the Obito incident, Rin will be captured by the Mist Shinobi on the battlefield. The Mist Shinobi will seal Three Tails inside Rin, planning to release it and destroy Konoha once she returns to the village. To prevent Rin from committing suicide, the Mist Shinobi will place a seal on her that prevents her from harming herself. In this case, to protect Konoha, Rin will choose to die by using my Chidori. In other words, Rin will voluntarily be killed by me!"
Kakashi's tone trembled as he spoke, unable to bear the pain in his heart. His eyes grew moist again.
"Rin..."
Namikaze Minato looked at the weeping Kakashi with a mix of relief and distress, murmuring softly.
Now, Namikaze Minato understood why Kakashi had changed his character. The deaths of Obito and Rin had caused Kakashi to lose his cold-blooded demeanor.
"Kakashi, I understand what you mean. Don't worry; I will do my best to protect Obito and Rin. But I have one question: without their deaths, would you still be the same person in the future? Aren't you worried that the present you will disappear?"
Namikaze Minato patted Kakashi's shoulder and spoke seriously.
Kakashi, who was so emotionally charged, felt his pupils contract and froze on the spot. This was something he hadn't considered before.
He only wanted to change the fates of a few people, but he hadn't thought about this potential consequence.
"If that's the case, I'll accept it. Maybe it would be better that way; I should be happier."
Kakashi took a few deep breaths, pretending to be indifferent. He couldn't let Namikaze Minato hesitate about the present.
This time, it was he who would sacrifice for others.
"Kakashi..."
Namikaze Minato recognized Kakashi's choice and murmured with mixed feelings.
How unfortunate for his teacher! Of his three disciples, two had died, and one was left more mournful than heartbroken.
Was he really fit to be the teacher of all three?
"Minato-sensei, I still want to congratulate you. You will become Konoha's Fourth Hokage after the war."
Seeing that the atmosphere had grown somber, Kakashi hurriedly changed the subject to lighten the mood.
"Really? Fourth Generation? I never expected that! I thought the Fourth Generation would be Master Orochimaru..."
Namikaze Minato replied with a smile, though he felt a pang of worry.
If he could become the Fourth Hokage, it must mean he had died while serving in that position. It would take a catastrophe for both Hokage and his wife to perish.
In such a situation, how much loss would Konoha endure?
"Kakashi, how did Kushina and I die?"
Thinking of this, Namikaze Minato finally couldn't hold back the question.
