while Kushina Uzumaki and her husband, the Fourth Hokage, were cooking, he climbed to the roof to chat with Kakashi, who wore a black robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly to hint at Kakashi a little about Obito Uchiha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was not his own decision—it was Minato Namikaze’s choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi had always felt guilty over Obito Uchiha’s and Rin’s deaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since Rin had died directly in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma had heard that during missions, Kakashi was not only ruthless but also fearless of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he did not reveal much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not mention the Rinnegan or Madara Uchiha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only told Kakashi that neither he nor Obito Uchiha bore responsibility for Rin’s death;
