Chapter 45: The Empire Brings Earth to the Leaf Village! Has the Uchiha Clan Been Wiped Out?
Chapter 45: The Empire Brings Earth to the Leaf Village! Has the Uchiha Clan Been Wiped Out?
"Let's end this line of conversation here! As for Lee Rock, Neji Hyuga, and Obito Uchiha from another world, where are they now?" Tsunade inquired.
"By the time you arrived, they had already entered Konoha to look around," Yamato replied.
"They're already in Konoha?"
Tsunade furrowed her brows, a faint premonition forming in her mind.
"The Uchiha clan in their world shouldn't have suffered the massacre, right?" she asked.
"Yes," Yamato affirmed with a nod.
"Regardless of whether their identities are true or not, the person playing the role of Obito Uchiha might cause trouble if he sees the dilapidated Uchiha clan grounds. He could take this opportunity to create problems," Tsunade speculated.
"Lady Tsunade, I've already talked to Obito... I believe he will let it go... Ultimately, all of this is Itachi Uchiha's fault! I trust they won't involve the innocent!" Yamato said.
"That's right! Lee, Neji, and Obito aren't bad people!" Naruto added in agreement.
"I wish it were that simple," Tsunade murmured, her mind racing.
'Itachi Uchiha killed his entire clan?' she thought. 'Only a bunch of idiots would believe such a ridiculous lie. My dear teacher, look at what you've done.' She shook her head helplessly.
"What about Neji and Lee from the other world?" Tsunade asked, shifting the topic.
"I suspect Neji might have gone to the Hyuga clan's compound, and as for Lee, he would probably be interested in meeting his counterpart from this world and Might Guy," Yamato replied.
"Kakashi, lead a team from the Anbu to find these three. I want to speak with them face to face," Tsunade issued her final orders.
Kakashi departed with Sai, carrying the sketches he had just drawn.
On the other hand, the Imperial Obito wandered the streets with a dazed expression, taking in the familiar yet foreign surroundings. The idle chatter of passersby and the laughter of children filled his ears, yet his mind remained clouded with confusion.
"Not far from here... this should be Kakashi's house... Rin should be inside, right? I wonder if Kakashi is home as well... What if they come out together? How should I face them? I hope... Kakashi is out on a mission, and only Rin is home... I just want to see Rin's smile... and say something, even if it's just a single sentence... Your Majesty, please bless me..."
With these thoughts racing through his mind, the Imperial Obito continued walking until he reached the address he had obtained from the villagers. He gently rang the doorbell.
Ding-a-ling... Ding-a-ling...
The doorbell rang, but there was no response from within.
This unexpected silence caused the Imperial Obito's expression to change, "Kakashi isn't home? Then why isn't Rin here either? Could it be... they went out together, maybe on a honeymoon?"
His mind involuntarily painted a picture of the two of them holding hands and whispering sweet nothings to each other.
His body trembled, and his face turned green.
"Hey there! Are you alright? You don't look so good. Do you want to go to the Konoha Hospital?" a concerned voice asked from beside him.
The Imperial Obito turned to see a kind-faced older woman looking at him with worry.
He shook his head gently, "No, thank you... I'm looking for Kakashi Hatake and his wife, Rin Nohara. Do you know where they are?"
"Rin Nohara, Kakashi Hatake's wife? What are you talking about? When did Kakashi ever get married? How come I don't know about this?" the woman replied, confused.
These words instantly revitalized the Imperial Obito, who had been feeling dejected and unwell. His face lit up, and he asked eagerly, "What? Are you sure about that?"
"Kakashi never married? Then who is his wife now? Please, I beg of you, tell me! This is very important to me!"
The Imperial Obito appeared before the old lady, his hands clasped together, his expression filled with urgency as he pleaded.
"Hey! You're quite a fright! How dare you appear out of thin air like that and spout such strange words! Kakashi has always been single; how could he possibly have a wife?" The old lady, startled by the sudden appearance of the Imperial Obito, took a step back and patted her chest, her expression a mix of surprise and disapproval.
"Kakashi doesn't have a wife?" The Imperial Obito's expression shifted from worry to elation at these words.
How unfortunate for Kakashi in this world? he thought. Although this reality was painful to accept, why was he so happy about it?
If Kakashi and Rin never married, then who was Rin with now? Could it be... me from this world? He couldn't help but laugh maniacally at the thought.
His unnerving laughter startled the old lady, causing her to flee in fear.
After a while, the Imperial Obito muttered to himself, "This is great! This is fantastic!
I'm going to go see how happy Rin and I are in this world right now! Rin... Uzumaki Rin! Ah! What a wonderful name! Wait for me, Rin!"
With that, the Imperial Obito's figure spun and disappeared in an instant.
Moments later, in the former Uchiha residential district.
The Imperial Obito stood, bewildered by the bustling scene before him, and whispered, "The Uchiha clan has moved? From the city center to the suburbs... How is that possible? Are they still the proud Uchiha clan?"
"Young man, what are you muttering about? What proud Uchiha clan? They are a pitiful clan," a strange-looking old man standing before the Imperial Obito remarked.
"Pitiful?" The Imperial Obito looked down at the old man, confusion written on his face. "The Uchiha clan is the foremost aristocratic family in Konoha. Everyone should envy them. Why do you say they are pitiful?"
"It's pitiful because an Uchiha, Uchiha Itachi, wiped out the entire Uchiha clan, leaving only Uchiha Sasuke, who also ended up defecting from Konoha. Isn't that pitiful?" the old man countered.
The old man's words struck the Imperial Obito like a thunderbolt, shocking him to his core.
"What? Itachi wiped out the entire clan? Leaving only Sasuke? How is that possible? Are you joking with me, old man? How could Itachi do such a thing?" he exclaimed, his face a mask of disbelief.
"Young man, you're quite strange... Anyone could tell you this... and you seem so surprised. Also, the way you refer to Uchiha Itachi is a bit too familiar. Who are you to him?" The old man shook his head repeatedly, eyeing the Imperial Obito with suspicion.
"..." The Imperial Obito was left speechless.
He had no heart to engage further with the old man and instead sought answers from a few other villagers, only to receive the same response, leaving him stunned.
"It's true... Itachi really did wipe out the entire Uchiha clan... and the sole survivor, Sasuke, also defected...
Does this mean that the Uchiha clan's plan in my world will fail?
Without the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan to evolve into the Complete Body Susanoo, many Uchiha members will go insane!
When that happens... something terrible might occur... Hiss...
Wait! If the Uchiha clan was annihilated, then... didn't I also die? Then who married Rin?" The Imperial Obito's muttering trailed off as he suddenly realized the flaw in his assumption, and his entire being was filled with terror.
