Minato reveals that Kakashi is the way he is because his father Sakumo, who was known as the "Konoha's White Fang", had once broken the law by choosing to save the lives of his comrades over completing the mission and was thus vilified by both the village and the very friends he had saved. As they camp that night, Obito expresses his displeasure of being a failure from the elite Uchiha Clan while having to deal with Kakashi's genius. Mahiru expresses his regret for recognising Minato as the famed "Konoha's Yellow Flash" and for not retreating as per Iwagakure's rules Minato then kills Mahiru. Before Mahiru can kill Kakashi, Minato manages to save him from the blow whilst simultaneously marking Mahiru's foot, although Kakashi ends up being slashed near his underarm.Īs Rin tends to Kakashi's wounds, Minato uses his Flying Thunder God Technique to appear before Mahiru, placing a kunai next to the Iwa-nin's throat. With his Chidori, Kakashi plows through the shadow clones and rushes towards the real Mahiru however, Kakashi's Chidori causes him to have tunnel vision and thus does not see Mahiru pull out a sword. Minato notices that Mahiru has employed about twenty shadow clones while Kakashi tells him that he has a new technique that should be able to deal with them all. On their way, Kakashi spots Mahiru, an Iwa-nin who is conducting surveillance. Meanwhile, he would engage in combat in the front lines in order to provide a suitable distraction. Minato tells them that as they are involved in a war, Iwagakure has invaded Kusagakure near the Land of Fire and that Kakashi's team are to destroy the Kannabi Bridge in order to cripple their efforts. Obito, however, has forgotten to bring a gift for Kakashi and is vexed when Kakashi states that it would have been useless anyways. In order to celebrate Kakashi's promotion, Minato gives Kakashi a Flying Thunder God Kunai while Rin gives him a specially made medic-kit. The team's leader, Minato Namikaze, tells them they have a new mission, and that since Kakashi has just become a jōnin, he would be leading himself, Obito and their other teammate Rin Nohara while he goes on his own mission.

Obito Uchiha rushes to a clearing where his teammate Kakashi Hatake admonishes him for being late, declaring that the shinobi rules of conduct state that a shinobi is to be on time.
