In the audience, the moment the straw hat was lifted on the screen, revealing that familiar silver-haired, masked face and those eyes filled with hatred, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence.
Immediately afterwards, a chorus of incredulous sounds broke the silence.
"That man in the straw hat—is that Kakashi-sensei?!" Naruto pointed at the screen, his eyes wide with disbelief. "H-How is this possible?! How could Kakashi-sensei be wearing Akatsuki clothes—and, and he looks so scary, so unfamiliar!"
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
"Kakashi-sensei—this, how is this possible—"
Sakura was also filled with shock and confusion.
[Ding! Sakura Haruno's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Xiang pushed up her glasses, and her eyes behind the lenses shone with an unusual light.
First, a Sasuke with a completely different personality appeared, and now even Kakashi-sensei is like a completely different person.
This dream is truly extraordinary!
Kakashi on screen looks incredibly strong and fierce, completely opposite to his lazy demeanor in real life.
Xiang couldn't help but excitedly speculate: if even the usually reliable Kakashi-sensei had become like this in his dream, what kind of personality, appearance, and strength would Naruto in the dream have?
Even Sasuke, who had been sitting expressionless between Naruto and Sakura, widened his eyes slightly, revealing an undisguised look of astonishment. Although Sasuke harbored resentment towards Konoha, Kakashi was his Jonin teacher who had guided him.
Looking at that familiar yet completely unfamiliar silver-haired figure on the screen, Sasuke's heart was also filled with indescribable turmoil.
As for Kakashi himself, he was completely focused on his own face flashing across the screen, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The one eye that was usually half-open and lazy was now wide open.
He never dreamed that the mysterious man in the straw hat wearing the Akatsuki's black robe was actually himself!
Moreover, the overwhelming hatred in his eyes as he appeared on the screen was exactly the same as when Obito looked at him when they first met in real life.
so similar!
Cold sweat slowly seeped down Kakashi's back. Could it be that in this twisted and absurd dream, his and Obito's positions had been switched?
How could I have become the one harboring such deep-seated hatred?
He even couldn't help but wonder if, in reality, he had experienced everything that Obito had gone through, would he also fall into endless darkness and hatred like Kakashi on the screen?
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +800!]
Not far away, Kisame Hoshigaki also showed a rare look of surprise.
He glanced with interest at Kakashi, who was frozen in the audience, then looked back at the screen and couldn't help but click his tongue.
So Kakashi and that person had such a deep entanglement?
It seems the difference between ordinary Jonin and rogue ninja is not as simple as it appears.
Although the intelligence reports indicated that Kakashi the Copy Ninja was a formidable and troublesome opponent, I had always thought that was all there was to him.
Now it seems there's a lot more to this than meets the eye.
However, although Kisame is rough and unrestrained, he is actually meticulous and quite sensible.
Despite his inner curiosity, he showed no sign of it on his face. He simply suppressed his intense interest for the time being and stared at the screen with renewed interest, as if his previous lapse in composure had never happened.
As a subordinate, he dared not speculate on the affairs of adults; he could only watch the show obediently.
Throughout the entire audience, only Itachi remained calm and unsurprised by the scene.
Ever since Obito removed his mask and revealed his true identity in front of him, Itachi had investigated Obito's past through various channels and found out most of it.
Although he didn't know all the details of the complicated and entangled relationship between Obito, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara, he already had a general understanding of the main points and key moments.
Therefore, Itachi was not surprised when Kakashi, dressed in Akatsuki robes, appeared in his dream, facing off against the still-living Obito.
Given the chaotic and absurd logic of this dream, it's not surprising that any outrageous combination could appear. Since there's the frivolous and flamboyant Sasuke, the righteous Sakura, and Naruto who left Konoha, it's not surprising that Kakashi would appear, joining the Akatsuki organization and having a blood feud with the unharmed Obito.
The only thing that surprised Itachi was the depth of Kakashi's hatred for Obito in the dream, which was far stronger and more intense than he had expected.
On the screen, the scene shifts to a clearing in the woods where the moonlight is dim.
The campfire in the center of the camp could be faintly seen not yet completely extinguished, its faint light illuminating a small area nearby.
In the dream, Sasuke was seen half-supporting, half-carrying a blood-soaked man as they ran into the camp.
The man was none other than Obito. Blood was gushing from his right shoulder, staining half of his clothes red. His face appeared exceptionally pale in the firelight.
Sasuke looked anxious and confused, completely bewildered as to how such a thing could have happened in such a short time. Obito-sensei was quite strong, and he had only gone out for a casual stroll, yet he was now in such a sorry state, clearly having gone through a life-or-death battle!
Sasuke helped Obito to a flat rock by the campfire and sat him down. While frantically rummaging through his ninja tool pouch for hemostatic pills and bandages, he couldn't help but ask, "Obito-sensei, what happened? Didn't you say you were just going to wander around nearby? How did you end up like this?"
Obito leaned against the rock, panting heavily. His right eye was burning with pain, and his vision was still somewhat blurred.
The piercing wound in his shoulder continued to cause dull pain, accompanied by waves of dizziness from the loss of blood, making him somewhat disoriented.
But compared to the physical pain, the shock and confusion in his heart were even more intense.
Kakashi—Why did Kakashi of this world join the Akatsuki organization?
Why would Obito harbor such a deep-seated murderous intent towards himself—or rather, towards this world?
This is truly a bolt from the blue—an undeserved disaster—and I am filled with bitterness.
This chaotic dream world is not only filled with disordered relationships between characters, but also with emotional bonds that are twisted to an extreme and outrageous degree.
He even began to wonder if he was incompatible with this dream, as every time he entered it, he would encounter some unfortunate surprises.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +800!]
Just as Sasuke was frantically trying to bandage Obito's wounds, hurried footsteps came from outside the camp.
Minato, Kushina, and Sakura, dragging their weary steps, walked back to the camp one after another from the darkness.
The three men all wore expressions of weariness and frustration, indicating that they had been busy for most of the night but had still found nothing; they had not been able to find any trace of Mianma.
This made Minato and Kushina, as parents, both anxious and disappointed, and even Sakura's expression became somewhat gloomy.
"We're back—" Minato's hoarse voice hadn't even finished when his gaze swept over Obito, who was covered in blood in the center of the camp, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
"Obito! What's wrong with you?!" Minato's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise.
In the blink of an eye, he vanished from the spot, leaving only a golden afterimage in the air. The next second, Minato appeared and crouched down next to Obito.
Kushina immediately noticed Obito's injuries.
The weariness on her face was instantly replaced by anxiety. She rushed forward and shoved aside Sasuke, who was still standing there dumbfounded, holding up the bandage: "Get out of the way! Sasuke, you're so clumsy, you might hurt him! Obito, where are you hurt? Let me see!"
She mumbled anxiously, her hands moving swiftly to tear open her blood-stained sleeves to examine the wounds.
Kushina's eyes were full of concern, yet her movements were professional and efficient, befitting a medical ninja who had experienced the battlefield.
Sakura quickly wiped the fatigue from her face and hurried forward to help.
She wasn't as excited as Kushina, but her expression was equally concerned.
After a quick glance, she assessed Obito's injuries: "The wound is deep, a penetrating wound, and there's a significant amount of bleeding! It needs immediate cleaning, suturing, and hemostasis."
Before she could finish speaking, Sakura had already swiftly taken out disinfectant, a scalpel, sutures, and clean gauze from her medical kit and handed them to Kushina, preparing to begin first aid.
Faced with the three people's anxious concern, Obito felt a slight warmth in his heart.
At least in this world, his companions' concern for him was genuine and fervent.
However, at this moment he had no time to care about his injuries.
He had only one thought in his mind: this was an opportunity.
Obito has no memory of this world, while Minato, as his and Kakashi's teacher, must know many hidden details.
Perhaps we can learn from Minato-sensei what exactly happened to Kakashi in this world.
Despite the excruciating pain in his shoulder and the dizziness from blood loss constantly assaulting his nerves, Obito mustered his strength and, though weak, resolutely said, "I—I've run into Kakashi."
scoff!
Kushina's hand, which was cutting open the sleeve, suddenly stopped, and she almost cut her own finger.
The anxious look on her face froze instantly, as if she had heard something unbelievable.
At the same moment, Minato's pupils contracted, and he froze.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately no sound came out.
The air in the campsite instantly became incredibly heavy and stagnant because of the appearance of this name, with only the occasional crackling of the campfire clearly audible.
Seeing the sudden change in the expressions of his two commanders, Obito already understood seven or eight parts of the situation.
As expected, Kakashi in this world is not as simple as just disappearing or defecting; there are clearly deeper past events behind him.
And all of this is very likely related to Obito of this world.
He endured the pain from his wounds and calmly continued, "He was wearing an Akatsuki robe with a black background and red clouds, and a straw hat—he wanted to kill me."
Upon hearing this, Kushina's hands trembled slightly.
"Obito————"
"Obito," Minato's deep voice rang out at the same time, "What happened to Rin back then wasn't your fault."
What about Lin?
Obito's mind went blank for a moment.
Has Lin in this world also encountered misfortune?
Moreover, judging from Minato's tone, does that mean I bear a significant part of the responsibility for that tragedy?
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +100!]
The sheer volume of information in that instant, coupled with its bizarre overlap with his most painful memories, struck Obito like a thunderbolt. His mind went blank, and he even became oblivious to the excruciating pain in his shoulder.
In the real world, Lynn's death has always been the root of all his pain.
He projected most of his deep-seated despair and hatred onto Kakashi, who failed to keep his promise to protect Rin.
Obito never truly, or rather, never dared to delve into what role he played in Rin's tragedy.
Kushina gently comforted him, "Obito, don't overthink it—let's treat your wounds first. After that, go back and get some rest. Let bygones be bygones; your most important thing now is to heal."
She clearly wanted to steer the conversation away from that painful and unsettling name.
However, Obito was still immersed in the huge shock and confusion. He just nodded mechanically to indicate that he had heard, but he couldn't muster the strength to speak.
Sasuke and Sakura, who were standing nearby, were also taken aback by the sudden heavy topic and the unusual reactions of their seniors.
The two looked at each other and saw intense curiosity and confusion in each other's eyes.
Minato looked at Obito's distraught expression, and then glanced at the barely suppressed concern and confusion in Sasuke and Sakura's eyes, and sighed inwardly. He knew very well that some wounds were not suitable to be reopened in front of younger generations, especially when Obito was in such a vulnerable state.
Minato composed himself and turned to say gently, "Sasuke, Sakura, Obito needs to rest. Go and prepare some more food. Sasuke, Obito probably can't eat those grilled fish and wild fruits you brought."
"Ah—oh, okay, Minato-sensei!" Sakura immediately realized and nodded vigorously.
Although she had a thousand questions in her mind, she could tell that something was wrong, so she quickly and obediently tugged at Sasuke's sleeve, who was still standing there in a daze.
Sasuke frowned, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Obito's pale, disoriented face, Minato's solemn expression, and Kushina's worried look.
In the end, he didn't say anything, but just awkwardly pursed his lips.
The two young ninjas silently turned and left, heading towards the woods at the edge of the camp, preparing to carry out this mission, which was full of obvious pretexts.
They knew in their hearts that Minato-senpai was just sending them away so that Obito-sensei could have some peace and quiet.
Soon, only Minato, Kushina, and a dazed Obito remained by the campfire.
The flickering firelight illuminated the silent profiles of the three people, and the occasional crackling of the burning firewood only served to emphasize the heavy, somber silence.
Minato sat down next to Obito, gazing at the flickering flames in the fire. After a long while, he spoke softly, "Obito, I know you're suffering. Seeing Kakashi like this—you must be in more pain than anyone else."
He didn't mention that name again after saying this, but the implication was clear.
Kushina sat down on Obito's other side and gently patted his uninjured left shoulder to comfort him.
The couple stood on either side, forming an invisible protective stance that shielded the injured disciple in the middle.
The next morning, in Kakashi's apartment in Konoha Village.
Kakashi woke up from his sleep and slowly sat up.
His silver hair stood on end in a messy updo, and the eye visible above his mask was filled with lingering weariness and gloom.
The bizarre dream he experienced last night still lingered in his mind like a persistent shadow, preventing him from calming down.
-
Kakashi reached out and scratched his messy hair, trying to sort out the chaotic and intertwined images in his dream.
He felt that there was some important clue hidden there, waiting for him to discover it, but he hadn't had time to think about it in detail yet.
hum!
A faint buzzing sound suddenly filled the air.
The air in the center of the room rippled like the surface of water, and a subtle yet clear spatial fluctuation appeared without warning less than two meters away from Kakashi.
Kakashi's hair stood on end instantly, and his whole body tensed up.
This feeling—it's divine power!
Obito's here? Why? Is it because of last night's dream? Is he thinking of doing what happened last time—
The scene from last time flashed through his mind.
Obito appeared without saying a word and forcibly dragged him into the Kamui dimension, giving him a severe beating.
Thinking of how Obito suffered a great loss at Kakashi's hands in his dream last night, Kakashi felt a chill run down his spine.
But this time, he will never sit idly by and wait for his death!
Kakashi had already assumed his stance; clearly, he was ready to counterattack immediately.
The vortex of distorted space began to spin rapidly, and a figure wearing a black robe with red clouds and an orange spiral mask suddenly appeared out of the distorted space, appearing out of thin air in this small room.
The visitor was none other than Obito.
He stood silently, neither attacking nor speaking, but staring intently at Kakashi through the only hole in his mask with his single eye.
For a moment, the atmosphere inside the room seemed to freeze into ice.
The occasional chirping of birds outside the window added an eerie contrast to the tense, silent standoff.
Kakashi maintained a tense defensive stance, his gaze fixed on the enemy in front of him, ready to respond to any sudden attack.
However, the expected attack did not occur.
After a few seconds of silence between the two, Obito finally spoke slowly.
The voice coming through the mask was low and suppressed.
"You said last time that Madara Uchiha was the culprit who killed Rin. What exactly happened?"
