Chapter 342 Obito: If I cannot stay in this dream, I might as well commit suicide and return to heaven.
Kakashi's figure suddenly appeared in the darkness in the audience.
The moment Kakashi appeared, a vibrant figure in a bright green bodysuit suddenly materialized and appeared in a seat not far from Kakashi.
"Yo! Kakashi!"
Might Guy grinned energetically, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and waved at Kakashi.
"What an unexpected reunion!"
"I never expected to run into you again in this wonderful place of youth!"
Kai casually moved to the seat next to Kakashi and sat down, looking completely at ease.
Kakashi turned to look at Guy, who had suddenly appeared, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Kai has only appeared in the audience a handful of times.
Kakashi was already fully aware of the nature of this dream space.
It was rare for Guy to appear, and this unusual scene immediately sparked several thoughts in Kakashi's mind. Did this mean that tonight's dream might be related to Guy? What exactly would it contain?
He nodded with a slightly lazy and disdainful air, which was a response to Kai's overly enthusiastic greeting, but his gaze involuntarily drifted to the giant screen in front of him, and a faint sense of anticipation rose in his heart.
Tonight's plot will most likely have something to do with Kaito.
Just then, lights flickered around the audience seats, and several more figures gradually materialized.
Naruto, Jiraiya, and Sakura appeared one after another.
"Kakashi-sensei! Guy-sensei!" Naruto waved and shouted excitedly as soon as he saw Kakashi and Guy.
However, the two figures that appeared next caused everyone's pupils to shrink and their expressions to tense up instantly.
A tall figure slowly emerged – Uchiha Madara!
He still carried an aura of domineering authority, looking down upon everything as insignificant as ants.
Half a step behind him, a figure silently followed like a shadow: Uchiha Itachi.
Itachi's appearance was not surprising, but his current position and state made those who knew the situation feel uneasy.
Itachi usually either goes alone or appears in pairs with Kisame Hoshigaki.
But now, he was following closely behind Ban, his posture not exactly humble, but clearly that of a subordinate following.
What made Kakashi and Jiraiya even more uneasy was that when they looked at Itachi, it seemed as if Itachi hadn't seen them at all.
He ignored the gazes cast upon him by the people of Konoha, his expression indifferent.
Kakashi's heart sank. Itachi and Madara—what on earth was going on?
Jiraiya, who was standing to the side, also frowned.
He stroked his chin, his gaze shifting back and forth between Madara and Itachi.
Jiraiya knew very well that Itachi was on their side.
However, what I'm seeing now—how could Itachi be following behind Madara Uchiha and obeying his orders?
Matt Kai then noticed the two newcomers.
He stroked his chin, his thick eyebrows furrowing, and muttered in confusion, "Hmm? Those two people—they look familiar. Where have I seen them before? Especially that young man with black hair and a pale face—"
Kakashi and Jiraiya exchanged a glance, both seeing the same suspicion and certainty in each other's eyes.
They have unwavering faith in Itachi's stance, so the most reasonable explanation for the current situation is that Itachi has successfully infiltrated the enemy ranks.
In order to gain Madara's trust, he had to pretend to be completely unfamiliar with, or even hostile to, Konoha.
Thinking of this, Kakashi couldn't help but feel a chill. Who was Madara? To infiltrate his side was like walking a tightrope on the edge of a precipice; the slightest mistake would lead to utter destruction!
Madara seemed quite pleased with the shocked and wary expressions of the Konoha people. He chuckled softly and led Itachi straight to the front row of the audience.
He showed no reaction to the various gazes directed at him, or rather, he simply didn't care.
Itachi followed behind without saying a word, his face showing no extra expression.
Just as the subtle and tense atmosphere in the audience gradually spread, the huge screen in front of them lit up on time, and the picture began to appear.
The first thing that appeared in the center of the screen was a black-haired boy with spiky hair.
It was none other than Uchiha Obito.
Moreover, Obito in the picture is in his teenage years!
"Obito?"
Kakashi's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
Immediately afterward, he suddenly realized what was happening and turned to look at Might Guy, who was still excitedly looking at him and hadn't fully recognized Obito's identity.
A question lingered in my mind: Obito—and Guy?
Kakashi's brows furrowed deeply.
Obito was from the Uchiha clan, while Guy was a genin who specialized in taijutsu for thousands of years.
Although the two belonged to the same village, they were not in the same team, and their personal relationship was not close.
They were at best acquaintances, and at most, they would greet each other occasionally when they bumped into each other on the training field.
How could Obito's dream be related to Guy?
In the scene, Obito is standing there, stunned.
Lin.
It's all because of me—because Madara Uchiha chose me, that she was schemed against, that she was dragged into that fate, that—
This newfound understanding was like a venomous snake gnawing at his heart.
At this moment, his heart was already filled with pain that had nowhere to go.
When he heard that Lin might be outside the door, his emotions surged to their peak.
Just then, that captivating, clear, and vibrant girl's voice came again from outside the door.
"Obito? Are you awake? I'm coming in?"
Obito was suddenly jolted, and all he wanted to do at that moment was find a place to hide!
Do not!
Lin!
Don't come in! Don't see me!
A sinner like me is unworthy—
At this moment, he really didn't know how to face Lin.
However, the door was still pushed open.
The warm morning light streamed in through the open door, illuminating a petite figure with short, light brown hair.
Nohara Rin, carrying a small package, peered into the house with a concerned smile on her face.
The next moment, the smile on Lin's face froze, turning into utter astonishment and bewilderment.
She saw that Obito didn't jump up to greet her as usual, but instead stood there blankly, looking flustered.
At this moment, he was facing the doorway, his face already covered in tears.
"Obito?
Lin stood there, completely stunned, and almost dropped the dumpling in her hand.
She had never seen Obito look like this before.
Even when he was injured during training, failed a mission, or was scolded by his teacher for being late, Obito always quickly cheered himself up and made a full recovery like a little sun, at most feeling frustrated for a moment.
It will never be like this again—it feels like my whole being is about to collapse.
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? Or are you feeling unwell?" Lin quickly stepped forward, her voice filled with genuine anxiety and worry.
She reached out, intending to pat Obito's shoulder or touch his forehead as she usually comforted him when he was injured.
However, just as Rin's fingertips were about to touch Obito, Obito suddenly opened his arms as if he had been awakened from a nightmare, and pulled the unsuspecting Rin into his arms tightly!
His strength was astonishing; Le Delin could barely breathe.
The next moment, Obito buried his face deeply in Rin's shoulder and let out a heart-wrenching wail.
"I'm sorry—I'm so sorry, Lin!"
"It's my fault—it's all my fault!"
"It's my fault! I failed to protect you!"
"It's my fault—it's my fault that you're in this mess!"
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!!!"
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
At this moment, he could only repeat "I'm sorry" and "It's my fault" over and over again, unable to explain the whole story.
Obito acted entirely on instinct, pouring out the guilt and pain deep within his heart, apologizing and repenting again and again in the most straightforward language.
Lin was left speechless by the sudden hug and the torrent of tears.
The warm, damp touch on her shoulder, and the violent trembling emanating from Obito's body, left her feeling helpless and panicked.
She couldn't understand a word Obito was saying.
Did I harm her?
Today is the same as usual, except we have to do squad training, right?
They haven't even carried out a C-level mission recently, so where would the danger come from?
How could Obito possibly harm her?
Despite her confusion and the pain from being strangled, Lin's gentle and kind instincts immediately took over.
She did not push away the boy who had suddenly broken down and was hugging her tightly as he cried.
Rin gently raised her hand and patted Obito's violently heaving back, just like comforting children crying in the medical ward because of pain.
She softened her voice and gently comforted him, "Obito, it's alright, it's alright. I'm here, I'm fine. See, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? You just had a nightmare, right? It wasn't real, everything is normal—it's alright, Obito, it's alright—"
Lin's gentle yet firm voice, coupled with the soft pats from behind, felt like a warm current slowly seeping into Obito's stiff body.
Her genuine body temperature and familiar tone of voice were like a faint yet resilient light, shining into the depths of his dark heart.
With Rin's comforting words, Obito's crying and trembling gradually subsided.
At that moment, an absurd thought even flashed through Obito's mind.
Reality was already as painful as being trapped in hell for him, a living hell. Why couldn't he stay in this gentle dream forever and never wake up again?
After a while, Obito's breathing gradually calmed down, and he finally regained some of his senses, realizing what he had just done.
He strangled Lin so tightly, and she cried so hard that she soaked her clothes.
Obito blushed immediately, reluctantly but also embarrassedly letting go of Rin's arms, but still kept his head down, not daring to look into Rin's eyes.
His face was streaked with tears, his eyes and the tip of his nose were red from crying, and he looked disheveled and pitiful.
"I'm sorry—Lin—I—" He opened his mouth, stammering as if trying to explain, but found himself unable to utter a word.
In the end, Obito could only bite his lip and fall into a frustrated silence.
At this moment, Obito was like a child who had done something wrong but didn't know how to atone for it, and could only stand helplessly in front of the people he had hurt.
Rin looked at Obito, who seemed to want to say something but was in extreme pain, and her doubts deepened.
But she didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she took out her handkerchief and said softly, "Let me wipe your face for you first, Obito."
"No matter what happens, or what you dream about, it doesn't matter. I'm here, Kakashi is here, and we'll be with you."
She didn't ask any more questions, but instead tried to comfort her companion, who seemed to have been instantly overwhelmed by nightmares and sadness, with the simplest and most direct companionship and acceptance.
in the audience.
Madara Uchiha looked at the boy Obito on the screen, who was holding Rin Nohara and crying uncontrollably, and his face showed undisguised contempt and disgust.
He crossed his arms, leaned back lazily, and sneered, "Crying and sobbing, where is the slightest bit of an Uchiha? Mentally fragile, utterly useless."
In Ban's view, a person's magnanimity and unwavering pursuit of goals are the fundamental measures of value.
-
People like Obito, who are easily overwhelmed by emotions and dwell on the past, are typical examples of weakness and incompetence.
Madara even felt a subtle sense of frustration, realizing that he had completely misjudged Obito's previous investment in him.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Madara have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
This kid's mental fortitude is even worse than I expected.
As Madara looked away in disgust, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Itachi Uchiha sitting upright beside him.
Itachi remained calm and composed, showing no emotion whatsoever regardless of the scene before him.
This ability to maintain absolute rationality and composure in any situation drew a rare look of admiration from Ban.
"That's more like it," Ban thought to himself.
Compared to that good-for-nothing who loses control of his emotions at the drop of a hat, this Uchiha Itachi is much stronger in both temperament and magnanimity.
Those who have clear goals, act decisively, and know how to be patient and strategic are truly capable of shouldering great responsibilities.
Although Madara still believes that Itachi's methods in training Sasuke were lacking, in terms of character and magnanimity alone, he was far superior to Obito.
On the other side, Kakashi witnessed Obito breaking down and crying in Rin's arms, and his expression darkened for a moment.
This morning, he and Obito had barely exchanged a few words when Obito activated Kamui again and disappeared.
Kakashi could only sigh softly at this.
Seeing Obito crying like a helpless child now fills me with a heavy feeling of being crushed by the truth.
As expected, the truth was still too cruel for Obito.
Kakashi remained silent, a hint of regret creeping into his heart for revealing the truth to Obito.
He didn't know whether this would be the starting point for Obito's redemption or another form of torment.
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +900!]
The camera then returns to Obito's room.
Obito looked at the handkerchief Rin handed him, which seemed to still carry the familiar, faint fragrance of the girl.
The warm fabric pressed against his cheek, and Rin's gentle words and careful actions acted as the most effective tranquilizer, gradually calming Obito's volatile emotions.
She gently wiped away Obito's tears and disheveled appearance with a soft handkerchief, her movements incredibly tender.
There was no trace of annoyance in her eyes, only pure worry and concern.
It seems that no matter what Obito becomes or how out of control he acts, Rin will always unconditionally tolerate and comfort him.
However, this unreserved tenderness was like the sharpest blade to Obito, slowly tearing at his already empty heart.
The more he felt Rin's kindness and beauty, the more he hated his own incompetence, hated Madara Uchiha who dragged Rin into the conspiracy, and hated himself for being blinded.
Lin is so wonderful—Lin is so wonderful!
Obito roared madly in his heart, his teeth clenching so hard they were grinding together.
The thought that Rin had become a victim of a conspiracy because of him, and that she had died so tragically at Kakashi's hands, filled Obito with hatred that was about to consume him completely!
It's not just the pain of losing a loved one, but also the anger and humiliation of being completely manipulated and reduced to a pawn, even indirectly making oneself a perpetrator.
And what about himself?
Not only did he fail to protect Rin, but after her death, he was blinded by hatred and wrongly blamed Kakashi and the world for all the crimes.
He misunderstood Kakashi for so many years, and foolishly did so many dirty things for the real culprit, Uchiha Madara!
Thinking about all this, anger, guilt, and regret erupted fiercely from the depths of his heart!
Uchiha Madara — Uchiha Madara!!
Obito roared silently in his heart, his teeth clenching so hard they almost broke.
All the negative emotions—guilt towards Rin, regret for his own foolishness, and anger at being deceived and used for so many years—ultimately converged into an overwhelming and profound hatred for "Uchiha Madara," his name, and everything he had done!
How dare you scheme against someone as wonderful as Lin!
How dare you fool me, turn me into this grotesque mess, and make me work like a fool for you for so many years!
Madara Uchiha, I will absolutely, absolutely, absolutely never let you get away with this!!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Just as this extreme emotion reached its peak...
"Obito, what happened to your eyes?" Rin couldn't help but exclaim.
Her voice was full of confusion, and there was also a barely perceptible tension.
As a medical ninja, Rin is extremely sensitive to abnormal changes in the human body.
Obito was jolted back from his boundless rage by Rin's exclamation, and his whole body jolted.
A familiar, powerful force of vision was surging forth from the depths of his eyes.
This power in my eyes—this feeling—could it be—
Obito's breath hitched; he clearly felt that some kind of shackle in his eyes had been broken.
A familiar power was completely activated and awakened by this overwhelming torrent of emotions!
His vision seemed to become exceptionally clear, and his perception of his surroundings was improving at an astonishing rate.
More importantly, a vague sense of space emerged in his consciousness.
This is... Kamui?!
