Chapter 944: The Truth
Facing Obito's sudden emotional outburst, everyone looked at each other in confusion, not understanding the reason.
Kanpū also seemed to be possessed by a Drama King, pretending not to know anything.
As for the 'eye of the storm', Kakashi was even more bewildered, completely at a loss.
'I am not qualified to ask you what have happened?'
"I…"
Kakashi wanted to ask, but suddenly a flash of insight struck his mind.
'Could it be?!'
"Obito, are you talking about… Rin?" Kakashi's voice trembled as he spoke.
"So you still remember her."
Obito sneered coldly, "I thought you had long forgotten her and embraced a new future.""Rin?" Fugaku looked towards Kakashi in confusion.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"If I remember correctly, Rin is from the same team as Kakashi and Obito, other student of Yondaime." Hiruzen said.
Minato nodded and said, "That's right. But during the Third Great Ninja War, Rin died in a conspiracy by the Kirigakure's Shinobi."
"A conspiracy by the Kirigakure's Shinobi? Hahahaha…"
Obito suddenly laughed wildly, "What a joke. Rin died by your hand, Kakashi! I saw it with my own eyes! Are you going to deny it, Kakashi?!"
'Kakashi killed Rin?'
'Is he a werewolf…' Fugaku looked at Kakashi suspiciously.
"Obito, the truth isn't what you saw!"
Guy suddenly jumped up from his seat, and exclaimed, "Back then, Rin was captured by the Mist Anbu. They sealed the Sanbi inside her, planning to send her back to the village to unleash destruction upon Konoha. Kakashi…"
"So he was supposed to kill Rin himself?"
Obito disdainfully interrupted Guy's words, and sternly said, "Stop joking around! This time, during the Konoha Crush Plan, we dispatched Ichibi and Hachibi, but in the end, aren't they all fell into your hands? Just a mere Sanbi… By the way, it seems like Sanbi has become a lackey of your Konoha now. So I really don't understand, you clearly have the strength to suppress the Biju, so why did Kakashi choose to kill Rin?!"
Guy blinked his big eyes, and he was speechless for a while.
'Yeah, even if Rin entered the village with Sanbi inside her body, so what?'
At that time, although Kanpū, Kakashi, and even he himself had not grown up, Hiruzen was still in his prime, Minato was at the peak, Orochimaru had not defected, and there is also Kushina, the Fuinjutsu Master. In addition to these people, there are Anbu, Jonin Team, and Military Police Force, and Third Shinobi World War is also near the end. In this situation, even if Sanbi was brought into Konoha, the village also has absolute certainty in controlling the Biju, right?
Guy instinctively turned to look at Kakashi.
Kakashi lowered his gaze, his one eye filled with a deep, melancholic expression, as if he was lost in his memories.
"Kakashi, explain yourself!!"
Obito slammed the table in fury, unable to restrain his anger, "Why did you have to kill Rin?! Before I 'died,' I repeatedly told you to protect Rin. Why did you kill her? Why did you do this!!"
Kakashi closed his eye in pain, "I'm sorry."
With that said, Kakashi disappeared with a flicker.
With his Chakra sealed and his eye removed, Obito didn't realize Kakashi had left, and still continued to slam the table and shout.
…
Leaving the Anbu's Headquarters, Kakashi went straight to the cemetery.
"Rin." Kakashi walked to Rin's tombstone with a pained expression on his face.
Back then, it wasn't Kakashi who chose to kill Rin. Instead, it was Rin who chose to die by Kakashi's Chidori!
At that time, Kakashi was planning to bring Rin back to Konoha. He believed that with Minato on their side, they would be able to deal with the Biju inside Rin's body perfectly. Unfortunately, they were being pursued by Kirigakure's Shinobi, and Rin, perhaps being demoted by the plot, chose to commit suicide. And tragically, she insisted on dying by Kakashi's hand.
How could that be explained?
Even if she really wanted to commit suicide, she could have jumped in front of Kakashi to block an attack from the Kirigakure's Shinobi. That would have been both heroic and protective of her beloved, achieving two goals at once. But instead, she chose to throw herself in front of Kakashi's attack, saving a Kirigakure's Shinobi who was supposed to die by Kakashi's hand.
Not only did she leave Kakashi with a heart knot that he could not let go of for a long time, she also successfully helped Obito's darkening.
There are thousands of ways to commit suicide, and Rin chose the most disastrous one!
...
In the conference room on the third floor of Anbu's Headquarters.
After shouting for a long time without receiving any response, Obito finally calmed down.
"So it was because you saw Kakashi killed Rin that you chose to betray the village, Obito?" Minato asked solemnly.
"From a Village Kage's point of view, does this reason seem ridiculous?" Obito responded with a smile.
"Sigh." Hiruzen sighed beside them.
He didn't expect the truth to be so simple, and he felt that his wife had died in vain.
Minato gently shook his head, and continued to ask: "Then who rescued you from the underground back then?"
Obito's lips curled into a cold smile and he said:" You'll find out soon enough. It was someone... you all can't afford to provoke!"
'Someone we can't afford to provoke?'
Hiruzen, Fugaku and the others looked puzzled.
Apart from Konoha, the number of top-tier Shinobi in the Shinobi World could be counted on one hand: Iwagakure's Sandaime Tsuchikage, Onoki, Kumogakure's Yondaime Raikage, A, or Nagato and Konan from the Akatsuki.
But regardless of which one of them it was, Konoha can afford to provoke them.
However, from what they hear from Obito's tone, it didn't seem like he was bluffing.
That's why everyone was deeply confused.
Minato seemed to be deep in thought.
Back then, he had asked Kanpū to search the underground for Obito's corpse, but they accidentally discovered that there was a huge corridor under the ground connecting a huge underground space.
Unfortunately, Kanpū's shadow clone was affected by the extremely advanced Genjutsu during the investigation, and that level of Genjutsu, after the verification done with Shisui, turned out to be of Mangekyo level!
At that time, the only ones in the Uchiha Clan who owned Mangekyo Sharingan are Shisui and Fugaku.
'But if it were them who saved Obito, why would they need to be so secretive?'
'Excluding these two, the only one who matched Obito's description of 'unprovokable' seemed to be Uchiha Madara.'
'But... Uchiha Madara?'
'How can someone who has been dead for decades appear during the Third Shinobi World War?'
Minato was puzzled, then turned to look at Kanpū. Seeing that he was also frowning, he asked: "Kanpū, do you have any ideas?"
Kanpū furrowed his brows slightly, and said with solemn expression: "Someone with Mangekyo, and someone we can't afford to provoke… I can't think of anyone who fits the criteria."
'It's truly disheartening news.'
Kanpū sighed heavily.
Across from him, Fugaku's face began to twitch uncontrollably.
What do you think?
