<p>You know, I'm really starting to appreciate this little Obito Gaiden because of how much it's fleshing out the Obito/Rin relationship. I can't blame him for falling head-over-heels in love with her, she gave him <i>a lot</i> to work with. </p><p>And we can confirm that Hiruzen's reign as Hokage was 80% him painting shit. </p>

<p>Whenever it's team Minato, i can't help but feel that i've seen it all, a dozen times before. Everything: the love triangle, perpetual tardiness, Kakashi being great, etc. </p><p>The only point of light is that we now see team Minato's first mission. After all, team 7's first mission defined their members. Though it's weird that shinobi need other shinobi to protect them. </p>
