Nagato strode to the bedside, reached out and pressed down on Obito's body, which was trying to sit up due to excitement, and said in a deep voice, "Don't move. Your injuries haven't healed yet."
Konan stood on the other side of the bed, smiled slightly, and said softly, "Obito, I'm so glad you're alright. Lie down and don't move, get some rest."
This sudden scene plunged the entire audience into an extremely eerie silence.
Everyone stared wide-eyed and held their breath.
Nagato and Konan both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Yahiko was unharmed.
That's great, Yahiko is alright.
Xiao Nan even secretly wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes.
Danzo's arrogant and smug expression froze instantly.
He stared intently at the three unharmed Amegakure boys on the screen, his single eye wide open.
"No...impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Shimura Danzo have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
He roared silently in his heart.
According to his plan... how could they... how could they appear completely unharmed?!
After the initial shock came an overwhelming wave of humiliation and anger.
The contrast between the champagne being opened halfway through the game caused Danzo's old face to turn ashen, as ugly as a pig's liver.
His impassioned words just now felt like a series of resounding slaps to his own face.
"Heh..." A mocking chuckle suddenly rang out from the audience.
Tsunade crossed her arms and glanced at Danzo with the look of someone looking at a clown.
"Hmph!" Danzo flung his sleeves and sat back down heavily in his seat, fuming with embarrassment.
"Why?! Why are those three damned brats alright?!"
"Useless! You're all a bunch of useless trash!"
"My plan is so flawless, the timing, the location, and the setup are all perfect!"
"It must be those idiots who failed to execute the plan properly; they can't even handle such a small matter!"
"A bunch of trash!"
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Shimura Danzo have been detected! Emotional value +600!]
Looking at Danzo's helpless and furious state, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a mix of emotions.
He took a deep breath, overwhelmed with self-reproach.
If he had noticed and stopped Danzo's deviant actions earlier, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way.
[Ding! An emotional fluctuation from Hiruzen Sarutobi has been detected! Emotional value +400!]
……
on the screen.
With the explanations from Rin, Yahiko, and others, Obito finally understood what had happened.
Just ten days ago, Hatake Sakumo received orders to lead a team to Amegakure Village to carry out a mission.
Because Yahiko and the others were extremely familiar with the local terrain, Sakumo-senpai specially took them with him to the front lines.
However, shortly after Sakumo Hatake led his team away from the camp, Iwagakure ninjas suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Konoha camp.
Fortunately, Minato Namikaze was still at the camp at the time, and under his command, the Iwagakure ninja were repelled without causing much damage.
However, immediately afterward, another group of Hidden Mist Ninja, who had been hiding in the shadows, sneaked into the camp in the chaos, intending to launch a surprise attack.
Their goal seems very clear.
It was Kakashi's team of three.
When Rin mentioned the words "Hidden Mist Ninja," Obito's body suddenly stiffened.
It felt as if an electric current had instantly coursed through my entire body.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
in the real world.
It was those Hidden Mist ninjas who kidnapped Rin, ultimately leading to that irreversible tragedy!
What alarmed him even more was that, according to Lin's description, the Hidden Mist ninja in this dream had a very clear objective.
I came here specifically for Lin!
This dream...this time of day...
A terrible thought surged into my mind.
Could it be... that this dream world is also going to recreate that scene from reality?!
Are you going to take Lin away from me again, right in front of me?!
In a daze, that fragment buried deep in my memory resurfaced mercilessly before my eyes once again.
In the rainy night, Lin's resolute and tragic smile, and the scene of her chest being pierced by a thousand birds, were like a nightmare, with blood gushing out in her vision...
Obito remembered it clearly.
That night, he could only watch helplessly as Lin died in front of him, powerless to do anything about it.
This pain once made him feel utterly hopeless and that life was worse than death.
Lin is not only his teammate, but also the girl he cherishes most in his life!
How could he allow the same tragedy to happen again?!
A massive panic instantly overwhelmed Obito.
His face turned ashen, his pupils contracted, and his breathing became rapid.
No! Absolutely not! I will not allow it! I will not allow the same thing to happen again!
An almost instinctive impulse suddenly burst forth in his heart.
He must protect Lin and lead her away from all danger.
Obito could no longer care about his injuries and struggled with all his might to get out of bed. The movement caused a tearing pain in his wounds, but he seemed not to feel it.
The voice was distorted due to anxiety.
"Rin! No! It's too dangerous here! We have to leave immediately and return to Konoha!"
"Return to Konoha? But that's our mission..."
Lin looked at him with a bewildered expression, puzzled.
Obito forcibly suppressed his panic and desperately tried to find a reasonable explanation.
"Listen to me, Lin! The Kirigakure guys may have failed this time, but they won't give up! They'll definitely have another operation!"
He spoke these words in one breath, his voice rapid and almost out of control.
"Only by returning to Konoha, back to the village, with the village's defenses and numerous skilled fighters, can your safety be absolutely guaranteed! No matter how arrogant Kirigakure is, they would never dare to run wild in the core area of Konoha!"
These words were not only meant to persuade Lin, but also to comfort himself.
It seemed that only by clinging to the idea that "Konoha is absolutely safe" could Obito slightly combat the immense unease within him.
However, Lin clearly misunderstood his intentions.
Looking at Obito's pale face, rapid breathing, and the undisguised terror in his eyes, she assumed that he had developed psychological trauma from the previous fierce battle, becoming overly tense and afraid.
“Obito…” Rin’s face showed a gentle yet somewhat distressed expression.
She gently pressed down on Obito's shoulder and softly comforted him, "Don't be afraid, don't be nervous, it's really okay... It's safe now. Sakumo-senpai has returned from his mission, and Minato-sensei has been staying at the camp. With them there, everything will be alright."
Lin smiled slightly, trying to calm Obito's emotions with her composure.
"No! You don't understand! Rin! You don't understand!" Obito almost roared.
His sudden, out-of-control roar startled everyone in the ward.
Lin stood frozen in place, words stuck in her throat, staring helplessly at Obito's face, which was contorted with fear and anxiety.
Yahiko and Konan exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and confusion in each other's eyes, but neither dared to make a sound to disturb them.
Nagato frowned, silently observing Obito's changing expression.
The matter concerned Rin's life or death, and the immense pressure made every cell in Obito's body tremble.
This, on the contrary, put his often confused brain into an unprecedented state of high-speed operation!
No... this whole thing is eerie from beginning to end.
Obito's thoughts swept over one key point after another.
The Kakashi and I in this dream world... are far more powerful than we were in the real world at that time.
He was clearly aware of this.
Logically speaking, even if they were ambushed by three Kirigakure Jonin, with their current strength, even if they couldn't win, they shouldn't end up in such a miserable state as one of them being seriously injured and the other on the verge of death.
But the reality is... Kakashi almost lost his life, and he also lost an arm!
This can only illustrate one problem.
The attackers' strength was specifically increased.
It's gone beyond the normal task logic.
In reality...
Obito's thoughts immediately connected with his real-life experiences, those dark years when he infiltrated Kirigakure and manipulated the Fourth Mizukage, flashing through his mind like a file.
After Lin's death, he never believed that it was just an ordinary war conflict.
A profound obsession and skepticism had long been etched into his very being.
He transformed into Madara Uchiha and spent years, sparing no expense, to control the Fourth Mizukage, turning the entire Hidden Mist Village into his puppet.
He went through all the mission files, interrogated every possible participant, and even delved into the deepest memories of the Water Shadow to search...
