Chapter 161 Obito: He's the one who deserves to die the most!!!
The two looked at each other from a distance, remaining silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Kakashi sighed softly and walked towards the masked man.
With each step forward, his heart beat a few times faster.
Regardless of why Obito had become so cold-blooded, he had to try to talk to him.
At the same time, he quietly raised his hand and lifted the strip of cloth on his headband, revealing a brand new Sharingan in his left eye!
Kakashi's expression grew increasingly serious, his muscles tensing as he prepared for battle. The Obito in his dream was clearly different from the real Obito, and he couldn't afford to be careless.
The masked man watched Kakashi approach silently, neither running away nor attacking, but simply standing still, lost in thought.
Kakashi quickly arrived a few steps away from the masked man.
He stared intently and discovered that Obito's single eye was staring intently at his face through the small hole in the mask, his gaze cold and complex.
Kakashi was slightly startled by that burning gaze, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he was about to speak when the other person unexpectedly let out a cold, mocking laugh.
"Hmph!" Obito let out a cold, ambiguous snort, mocking, "He actually got you another Sharingan? Minato Namikaze really treats you well!"
The face, hidden by a mask, obscured its expression, but the mockery was unmistakable.
Kakashi felt a pang of pain in his heart upon hearing this.
Kakashi took a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness in his heart, and solemnly said, "Minato-sensei was originally a very good person."
He has always been...very good to us.
Before he could finish speaking, the masked man's shoulders trembled slightly, followed by a sinister laugh: "Hehehe..."
The laughter had a touch of madness to it.
Obito suddenly raised his head, his tone turning hysterical: "The one who deserves to die the most is him—Namikaze Minato!"
He roared through gritted teeth, "What 'Yellow Flash,' 'Fastest Shinobi in the World'! He's never there for the most crucial moments!!"
A sudden gust of wind arose, whipping the leaves around and making a rustling sound.
Kakashi was so shocked by the sudden roar that he involuntarily leaned back half a step, a sharp pain rising in his chest.
He certainly understood the accusatory meaning behind the local dialect.
Obito harbored resentment towards Minato-sensei—resenting him for not arriving in time for the battle at Kannabi Bridge, which led to Obito being buried under rocks; and also resenting him for not being by Rin's side when she was kidnapped, ultimately failing to prevent the tragedy from happening.
On two crucial moments, their teachers failed to protect their students.
Kakashi lowered his gaze, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
"Obito—" Kakashi slowly shook his head, and asked with difficulty, "Even if you harbor resentment towards Minato-sensei—but..."
Why attack Konoha?!
His voice trembled slightly with emotion, "You clearly said before that you wanted to be Hokage?!"
Obito, behind the mask, was silent for two seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Heh - isn't it a bit too late to bring this up now, Kakashi Hatake?"
Obito showed no intention of explaining himself to the questions he was being asked, and seemed completely unconcerned about his identity being exposed.
He had previously snatched his left eye back from Kakashi's eyes, and his actions were so obvious that it was not surprising that Kakashi guessed his identity.
Obito's laughter suddenly became unrestrained: "Hahahahaha—"
He threw his head back and laughed wildly, his voice filled with chilling madness, "What I want to do is destroy him, destroy everything you care about most!"
Kakashi was stunned by the sudden burst of maniacal laughter, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
He stared intently at Obito, his mind churning with turbulent emotions.
The near-madness of Obito in his dream world far exceeded Kakashi's imagination!
"And you!" Just as Kakashi was about to become a god, Obito suddenly waved his hand, pointing at Rin's tombstone, his voice abruptly turning low and cold, "You did that kind of thing yourself, and you still have the nerve to lecture me here?!"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi was struck dumb, his pupils dilating instantly!
Obito brought up Rin's death once again!
His heart clenched painfully, and he swayed slightly, almost losing his balance.
This was the second time Obito had questioned him about Rin since he entered the dream world.
The first time, he was too shocked to understand the meaning of the local dialect for a moment.
As the scene reappeared, a sudden realization struck Kakashi: How did Obito know about "that matter"?!
Kakashi suppressed his panic and quickly recalled the scene from back then.
The Battle of Kannabi Bridge in the 52nd year of Konoha's reign.
On that desperate battlefield, in order to stop the Three-Tails from going berserk, he had no choice but to personally pierce Rin's heart with his Lightning Blade—
He clearly remembered that just before he collapsed while holding Lin's body, the pursuers from Wuyin were surging in like a tide.
In utter despair, he only had time to see the relieved smile on Lin's face before losing consciousness due to his severe injuries, thinking that he would die as well.
However, when Kakashi woke up again, he was surprised to find that all the Mist Ninja around him were lying in pools of blood, dead on the spot!
Kakashi abruptly looked up at the masked man, his voice trembling as he asked, "Then...so you mean—Rin—you were there? You saved all those Hidden Mist ninjas?!"
Obito merely chuckled at this, dismissively interrupting, "Save you? Hmph, don't flatter yourself!"
He turned slightly to the side, as if unwilling to look at Kakashi again. "I just wanted to kill all those guys!"
"Wash your necks and wait, I'll drag you all to hell!"
The moment he finished speaking, a strange ripple suddenly appeared in the air.
A familiar spatial fluctuation appeared around Obito!
Before he could react, the masked man's figure in front of him began to twist and blur, and the swirling spiral quickly swallowed him up.
VIP box seating.
The private room was so quiet it was almost suffocating; the only sound was Obito's soft, heavy breathing.
Obito rested his elbows on his knees, his fists clenched, his entire body hidden in the shadows.
Obito's mind kept replaying every scene from his dream.
His near-madness left him with a tightness in his chest, something he couldn't express for a long time.
Actually, he was quite familiar with that appearance.
For a considerable period after witnessing Rin's death at Kakashi's hands, he remained in a state of near madness.
With nowhere to vent his overwhelming pain and hatred, he could only find relief in destroying everything.
Until, until that night twelve years ago.
"Hmph, what a pathetic sight." Obito felt an indescribable sense of irritation and mockery rising within him.
He took a deep breath, leaned back in his chair, and tried to calm himself down.
However, a sense of unease lingered in his heart.
Especially in the last two days, Black Zetsu's attitude has become noticeably strange and subtle.
For the past two days, for some reason, Black Zetsu has seemed absent-minded, often acting on his own initiative, and is far less obedient than before.
Logically speaking, Black Zetsu was a "legacy" created by Madara Uchiha to assist him before his death, and should not have deviated from his will.
However, Black Zetsu's current actions differ somewhat from what Madara told him before his death.
In the general audience seats.
Jiraiya's incredulous voice rang out: "Tonight's dream was far too thrilling!!"
His expression was still somewhat dazed, as if he had not yet fully processed the twists and turns of the story that had just unfolded.
Tsunade sat next to Jiraiya, her eyes wide.
Although Tsunade was not aware of many details, Kakashi and Obito's conversation had already revealed a great deal of important information.
She recalled the cataclysmic event twelve years ago, and suddenly snapped back to reality. Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she pointed at the now-off screen, utterly shocked: "That masked person... was the mastermind behind the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage back then, right?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly turned his head. The old Hokage, immersed in shock and pain, had a solemn expression, even revealing an undisguised sense of guilt and bitterness.
"...That's right." He sighed deeply, his voice sounding as if he had aged considerably in an instant. "Not only that, he—was also Minato's student."
As he said this, he slowly closed his eyes, his brows furrowed deeply, and a complex expression froze on his wrinkled face.
While the audience was in an uproar, Shiyu, far away in the shadows of the theater, paid no attention to the reaction from the outside world.
As the dream ended that night, a familiar mechanical notification sounded in his mind:
[The Dream Master System has been successfully upgraded!]
[Congratulations, host, you have reached level 12!]
Please select one of the following enhancement effects:
[1. Simultaneous Login Lv2: Reduces the cooldown time for simultaneous logins by five days.]
[2. Dream Dungeon Expansion Pack: Attack on Titan]
[3 VIP seats + 1]
On the semi-transparent system panel that appeared in mid-air, three options were clearly listed.
Looking at the options, Shi Yu couldn't help but purse her lips: "That's it? The reward is too mediocre!"
The features unlocked after this system upgrade are too basic.
To be honest, none of them surprised him.
Option 3 can be eliminated immediately.
"VIP seat +1?"
Admittedly, VIP box viewers are not subject to intimacy level restrictions, and their emotional value gains are also increased by 50%.
It looks beautiful, but its actual use is very limited—there is no interaction between the audience, and even if there are additional benefits, the effect is very average.
The only point worth mentioning is that there are no restrictions on intimacy levels.
Next, let's look at option 2.
To be fair, the world of "Attack on Titan" is quite interesting.
However, while the giant is powerful, it is still somewhat inferior to the Gundam that can activate Susanoo.
It is not meaningful.
After considering this, Shiyu suddenly lost interest.
He happens to have a dungeon slot that he hasn't used yet, which he plans to add when he comes across a truly satisfactory expansion pack.
It would be a waste to waste a valuable spot on "Attack on Titan".
However, he also discovered a pattern: as the system level increased, the dungeon expansion packs randomly provided by the system did indeed gradually improve in quality.
From the initial small urban dungeons with little combat power, to the emergence of worlds with a certain level of skill like Attack on Titan, perhaps after a few more levels, one can draw even higher-level worlds, such as the kind of worlds like Bleach or Dragon Ball that one truly desires.
Finally, only option 1 remains.
Simultaneous Login Lv2: Reduces the cooldown time for simultaneous logins by five days.
This enhancement is very useful!
The simultaneous login feature is incredibly useful, and an upgrade to reduce the cooldown would be a good improvement.
"This is it!" Once Shi Yu made up her mind, she immediately selected option [1] on the system panel.
However, Shigure discovered that at the same moment he logged in to upgrade,
His cooldown time has actually reached zero!
Looking at the notification on the screen, Shi Yu's lips curled up slightly, and she nodded in satisfaction: "Great! That means there'll be something good tomorrow—..."
Tomorrow will be the day when the Dream Fulfillment Experience Voucher expires.
Shigure has already figured out how to make a scene.
As dawn broke, the rising sun shone over the distant rows of houses.
Kakashi suddenly sat up in bed, his forehead covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.
He was panting heavily, and it took him several seconds to realize that he had woken up from his dream and was back in his real home.
"Phew!" Kakashi let out a long breath and raised his hand to press his throbbing temples.
The scenes from his dream were still vivid in his mind, leaving him momentarily disoriented.
He threw off the covers, got out of bed, walked to the window, and opened it. Fresh air mixed with birdsong rushed in, clearing his muddled thoughts slightly.
Kakashi looked up at the azure sky outside the window, slowly sorting through the information he had received in his dream.
He had figured one thing out: the real Obito Uchiha was unlikely to make any rash moves against Konoha for the time being. His attention was probably entirely focused on the dream world right now.
Moreover, Kakashi roughly guessed why Obito in the dream was so crazy.
In the dream, Obito failed in the Nine-Tails' attack 12 years ago.
Realizing this, Kakashi breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his expression remained complex and serious.
"However—" Kakashi muttered to himself, as more questions and speculations began to surface in his mind.
How did Obito transform from that kind and cheerful boy into what he is today?
In this dream encounter, he vaguely grasped a key clue: Obito was not alone.
Back then, in order to save himself, Obito had half of his body crushed by a giant rock, an injury that would have been fatal.
However, Obito not only survived, but also reappeared in the world in a short period of time, and even awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.
This is something he could not have accomplished on his own!
In other words, someone must have rescued Obito and secretly healed and reformed him.
Kakashi's mind conjured up a vague yet dangerous image: the person capable of doing all this must be a mysterious figure with terrifying strength and methods!
Furthermore, the time between Rin being transformed into the Three-Tails Jinchuriki and Obito's reappearance was not long.
What happened in such a short time that caused such a dramatic change in Obito?
Kakashi speculated that the person behind it not only saved Obito, but also probably had a huge impact on his mind, even leading him completely into darkness!
In Kakashi's dream last night, every word and action of Obito revealed the shadow of the mysterious mastermind. Without some kind of intense brainwashing and manipulation, Obito would never have hated Konoha and his teacher so much, and would have wanted to destroy everything with such a shared hatred for the enemy.
Thinking of this, Kakashi narrowed his eyes and frowned.
He felt he had vaguely touched upon a corner of the truth, but lacked decisive evidence.
However, these valuable intelligence and inferences should not be buried in our hearts.
He suddenly turned around, grabbed the iconic Konoha headband from the back of the chair, and solemnly put it on.
"We must report this information to the Hokage as soon as possible!"
Although last night's dream was bizarre, it provided extremely important information.
Whether it's about Obito's current situation or the mastermind behind it all, it's urgent to summarize and analyze these matters.
Kakashi pushed open the door and strode towards the Hokage's office.
