Even if that future doesn't include him, Namikaze Minato still wants to protect that future, because in the future, Konoha and his children will thrive, but if the future changes, it might not be the case.
"Taking responsibility for the future has nothing to do with sealing memories. What we need to do is strive to create the best possible future," Mokgetsu retorted.
"I have never asked Naruto about their future affairs because I believe the future belongs to us to create. The future is never set in stone!"
Namikaze Minato wavered a bit; Mokgetsu's words indeed made a lot of sense.
"Teacher Mokgetsu indeed never asked about the future, and even told us not to inquire, saying that future ninjas have their own hurdles," Kakashi immediately stepped forward to say.
"Teacher Minato, I think Teacher Mokgetsu makes a lot of sense, and I also don't want to forget the times spent with Brother Naruto," Obito followed up.
"Teacher Minato, we definitely won't spread anything about this mission; there's really no need to seal memories," Nohara Rin also sided with Mokgetsu.
Mokgetsu walked beside Namikaze Minato and said seriously, "Minato, trust us and also trust yourself. Naruto has no reason to be an orphan."
Namikaze Minato showed a helpless expression, "I can't argue with you."
Because of Mokgetsu's character and qualities, Namikaze Minato was convinced by him. If there were a choice, of course, he wouldn't want his future child to be an orphan and suffer so much hardship.
Moreover, Mokgetsu had mentioned they never inquired about the future, which Minato considered to be within a controllable range.
Seeing Namikaze Minato abandon the idea of sealing memories, Kakashi and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's still Sage Mokgetsu," Obito gave a mental thumbs-up to Mokgetsu, relieved they came here with him.
After sending Naruto and the others back to another world, Mokgetsu and his team had completely finished their mission, and they left Loulan the next day.
On the way, Mokgetsu and Namikaze Minato discussed reporting the mission details.
In the end, they both agreed not to report the matter of the future ninjas, thinking the fewer people knew, the better.
As they reached a location near the Land of Grass, Namikaze Minato temporarily parted ways with Mokgetsu and the others to head to the battlefield of the Land of Grass to find Jiraiya.
Jiraiya also knew about the future ninjas. Although Namikaze Minato trusted his teacher's integrity, he felt it was important to consult with him.
"Rest today, and resume training tomorrow as usual," Mokgetsu said, giving Kakashi and the others a day off after they returned to Konoha.
Even though Mokgetsu gave them a day off, neither Kakashi, Obito, nor Nohara Rin took it. Instead, they headed to the Southern Border Forest for cultivation.
They were eager to improve their strength, realizing that wanting to change the future with their current power was somewhat arrogant.
Obito contemplated whether to inform Shisui, a fellow Uchiha, about the future threat of the Uchiha clan's destruction.
Mokgetsu created a Shadow Clone to supervise his disciples while his true body went home to organize the gains from this mission.
[Disciples Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Obito diligently worked to complete the mission, earning Chakra +800, with an additional reward of Chakra +400 led by their teacher himself]
[Disciple Uchiha Obito's increased strength and reputation improved his credentials, increasing his probability of becoming Hokage slightly, earning a progress reward — Chakra +1400, Ninjutsu Extraction Scroll·S (Master Level), Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation (Master Level)]
The Chakra gained from completing the mission exceeded Mokgetsu's expectations as the task posed almost no threats, so having this amount was quite impressive.
Mokgetsu focused on the settlement of Obito's second-life mission, which was the main reason he went out on missions.
Compared to a ten percent settlement, the twenty progress settlement offered more Chakra, while the rest of the rewards were difficult for Mokgetsu to compare.
In Mokgetsu's view, the Master Level Great Fire Annihilation and Dragon Flame Song Jutsu were about equal, with neither being significantly superior.
As for the Bloodline Enhancement Scroll and the S-level Ninjutsu Extraction Scroll, these were hard to compare and depended on what ninjutsu was drawn from the Ninjutsu Extraction Scroll.
This was Mokgetsu's first time obtaining an S-level Ninjutsu Extraction Scroll, having only received an S-level Taijutsu Extraction Scroll before, which yielded the Golden Horizon.
The power of the Golden Horizon is beyond doubt, being one of Mokgetsu's strongest attack methods, so he held high hopes for this S-level Ninjutsu Extraction Scroll.
However, this time Mokgetsu didn't want an attacking ninjutsu, as he currently had no shortage of offensive capabilities with an abundance of various ninjutsu and taijutsu, so he hoped to draw a ninjutsu with strong functional abilities.
