Lin's voice trembled with anxiety, her eyes filled with worry.
Obito glanced at Rin's anxious expression and felt a pang of sympathy, but remembering the important matter at hand, he quickly made up his mind.
To leave the camp and find Ban, we must first keep Lin calm.
Obito forced a relaxed smile and waved his hand, saying, "Hey, Rin! Don't worry!"
He feigned nonchalance and said half-jokingly, "I've just been lying down for too long, and my whole body is itchy. I want to go out and move around a bit, get some fresh air!"
As he spoke, he raised his right arm, which was in a cast, and pretended to move his shoulder nimbly a few times.
To make his argument more convincing, Obito even disregarded his injuries and jumped off the bed, bouncing around a couple of times to try and prove that he was almost fully recovered.
"Look! I'm fine..."
Obito was about to show off to Rin with a grin when, before he could finish speaking, the violent movement aggravated his still-healing right arm, and he felt a sharp, piercing pain suddenly strike him.
"Ouch...it hurts..."
He gasped, his face contorting in pain, and he staggered, nearly falling over.
"Pfft..."
Seeing Obito's comical appearance of being beaten after trying to be tough, Rin was initially alarmed, but then couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Obito, you idiot!"
She gave Obito a light tap, both amused and annoyed, and quickly stepped forward to support him to prevent him from actually falling.
"You insisted on playing the hero, now you know what pain is!"
Lin smiled and gently helped him stand up again.
Obito scratched the back of his head sheepishly, giving a slightly embarrassed smile. "Hehe... I was just so bored."
But he quickly put on a serious expression and insisted, "Lin, I'm just going out for a walk to stretch my muscles, and I'll stay near the camp. I definitely won't wander off!"
Afraid that Lin would worry, he raised his left palm and solemnly promised, "I promise I'll be back soon! Really, if I lie here any longer, I feel like I'm going to get moldy!"
Obito spoke with a sincere expression, but there was still a hint of guilt on his face.
"This……"
Seeing Obito's resolute attitude and noticing that he looked much better than before, Rin hesitated for a moment.
She bit her lip, and finally nodded in resignation, saying, "Alright... then go ahead."
At this point, she immediately straightened her face and sternly instructed, "But you must remember, you can only move around within the safe area of the camp. You can't go far, and you're not allowed to do any strenuous exercise! And you must come back very, very quickly, do you hear me?"
Lin listed a long string of precautions in one breath, her expression serious and tense.
"Okay, okay! Don't worry, Lin!"
Obito nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice, as if afraid that Rin would change her mind.
Seeing that Lin finally relented, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
But behind the smile lies a barely perceptible sense of guilt and remorse.
He dared not look Lin in the eye, afraid that she would see through his act, so he hurriedly said, "Then I'll go out first, and I'll be back soon!"
After saying this, Obito seemed to have been granted a pardon, and quickly turned and walked out of the tent.
As soon as Obito stepped out of the medical tent, his figure disappeared into the dim forest.
As soon as he was out of Lin's sight, the relaxed and playful expression on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness and urgency.
Obito took a deep breath, his gaze as firm as iron, and without the slightest hesitation, he endured the throbbing pain in his wounds and strode quickly toward the outer perimeter of the camp.
Before long, he crossed out of the Konoha camp's security perimeter.
The lights of the camp behind them gradually faded into the distance, and the surroundings became dim and quiet, with only Obito's hurried footsteps echoing through the woods.
Once he was sure there were no more companions around, Obito suddenly increased his speed.
One step, two steps...
Every push he made with his feet aggravated the pain in his wounds, but he paid no attention to it, his expression more resolute than ever before.
This little pain... is nothing!
Obito gritted his teeth, a thin layer of sweat beading on his forehead, but he snorted coldly in his heart, forcibly suppressing the pain.
Compared to Lin's safety... this pain is insignificant!
His goal was very clear—the Kannabi Bridge, Madara Uchiha's hideout.
……
in the audience.
Kakashi and Jiraiya kept their eyes glued to Obito's figure on the screen.
When they saw Obito running straight out of the camp despite his injuries, both of them were taken aback.
They sat bolt upright in their seats almost simultaneously, their pupils contracting sharply, and expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"This direction...!"
Kakashi recalled the scene he had witnessed in Obito's dream.
That eerie and terrifying underground cave, that heretical demon statue standing in the dim light, and the old man sitting in front of the demon statue, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression!
Uchiha Madara!
Jiraiya took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "If I remember correctly... in the last dream, Obito went in this direction to find Madara Uchiha."
Kakashi frowned, his eyes filled with incomprehension.
"At this critical juncture, what exactly does Obito want to do by going to Madara Uchiha now?"
The sudden appearance of the name Uchiha Madara was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples in the audience.
The one who reacted most strongly was Danzo, who sat in the corner with a sullen face, extremely annoyed by the failure of his plan.
"Uchiha...Madara?!"
Upon hearing the name unexpectedly, Danzo suddenly raised his head, which had been hanging low, and a terrifying glint flashed in his single eye.
Since he was removed from his post, he has never had the chance to see any reports from Kakashi about his dreams.
Hearing about Uchiha Madara's movements at this moment, how could he not be shocked and driven mad!
Danzo suddenly sat up straight, involuntarily leaning forward a few inches, staring intently at the path Obito was running on the screen.
He memorized this route, making sure he didn't miss any details.
At this point in time... Madara Uchiha... he's still alive?!
Danzo was horrified and speechless for a long time.
As expected... just as I thought!
After witnessing the First Hokage, Madara Uchiha, he had always had a suspicion in his mind.
How could the legendary Asura of the ninja world fall so easily?
The shock he felt at that moment was confirmed, and his blood surged for a moment.
After a brief moment of shock, an almost morbid excitement and sense of worship quickly took hold of him.
As expected, it’s Uchiha Madara!
Danzo shouted fervently in his heart, his breathing becoming rapid without him realizing it.
The legendary Asura of the Ninja World!
How could Hashirama Senju, that kind-hearted and soft-hearted saint, possibly defeat the domineering and incomparable Madara Uchiha?!
How could such a powerful figure, who looked down on everything, fall so easily!
Madara must have used some special means to deceive everyone, hiding in the darkness and quietly manipulating the entire ninja world from behind the scenes!
Madara Uchiha, what a sight to behold!
What a dark force in the ninja world!
In comparison, I, the "Darkness of Konoha," am far inferior!
This is the true demeanor of a strong person, and this is the power to overturn the world!
Thinking of this, Danzo's single eye flashed with a fiery and frenzied light, and his whole body trembled slightly, unable to contain his excitement.
My heart pounded violently in my chest, driven once again by a force called ambition.
The real-life setbacks and constraints he faced after leaving office were now completely forgotten.
Compared to Madara Uchiha, who transcended time and rules, all the power he had previously pursued seemed insignificant!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Shimura Danzo have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
……
on the screen.
Obito sped along and finally arrived at the entrance to the hidden underground cave outside Amegakure.
Without pausing, he followed the winding path familiarly, quickly arriving at the familiar underground hall.
Obito's slightly rapid breathing echoed in the dark, cold cave.
Just like the last time I came, the huge demonic statue of the heretics still stood in the empty hall. The terrifying statue cast a heavy shadow in the dim light, making the whole space even more gloomy and oppressive.
In front of the statue sat the equally aged Uchiha Madara.
At this moment, Madara Uchiha's eyes were closed, as if he were in a deep sleep.
Hearing footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes.
Madara Uchiha had long, white hair draped over his shoulders. He was slender but his imposing presence remained undiminished, and his eyes gleamed with a sharp, cold light in the darkness.
His withered right hand was resting on a long-handled sickle, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.
When his gaze fell upon Obito, who was standing below panting, Madara's lips suddenly curled into a meaningful smile.
Immediately afterwards, his deep, authoritative voice echoed in the empty cave, saying with a playful and mocking tone, "Little brat, how dare you come here again and disturb this old man's afternoon nap?"
