I don’t understand. So not only is minato STILL going to die but mc is basically going to be relegated to a side character with this. When the fourth ninja war comes Kaito will basically have no power to resist at all. Even if he reaches the level of Hashirama in his prime, he will still basically be a small fry in the grand scheme of things. I’m utterly disappointed. Truly, this had the makings of a really good novel. It probably would have been better if Kaito was granted some reincarnation boons to help him stand out a bit. Unfortunately what you have created is an mc who’s max potential is probably around peak hashirama if things keep going the way they have and a broken family in a hostile village. Basically canon +kushina + thigh hugging MC. dropped.
i don't know man, i think its better if you scarifice danzo, or perhaps hiruzen or someone old. also the mc is an idiot, sorry but thats how you are making him that. he is older a kid but older, just pull kakashi together with kaito in the room with kushina when she is giving birth and make kakashi fight him. But this is only a canon with an extra. your MC doesn't have anything, its better if you literally pull the ones that are going to survive and send them to ushio, to live there until they are strong enough to fight and to give the middle finger to the world. so for me this novel lost its colors with what you are doing, greetings.
