Chapter 816: Obito: I Will Become the Second Myugetsu
Chapter 816: Obito: I Will Become the Second Myugetsu
After confirming that the Uchiha clan had not been exterminated, Obito's next task was to determine if they had staged a coup.
Finding out was simple.
The Uchiha clan didn't hide anything; they discussed this matter at their clan meetings. In other words, every Uchiha ninja knew about the clan's coup plans.
Obito admired their boldness, discussing such a life-threatening matter at a clan meeting.
If any loose-lipped Uchiha casually mentioned it, the secret would surely leak out.
Even if all Uchiha ninjas kept the secret, the information would still spread, making it easy for the Anbu to investigate.
Since the Uchiha clan grounds here were rebuilt after the Nine-Tails incident, Obito wasn't very familiar with them, so he randomly chose a house and infiltrated it.
"This girl looks vaguely familiar."
Obito, who had sneaked in quietly, noticed the teardrop-shaped birthmark under the girl's eye and suddenly recalled some memories.
"Isn't this Izumi? How is she living on the Uchiha side?"
Obito was puzzled.
As far as he knew, Izumi's mother was an Uchiha, but her father wasn't.
Moreover, Izumi's father didn't marry into the Uchiha clan; Izumi took her father's surname and lived with him.
Obito knew Izumi through Uchiha Itachi; the two were close, and Obito became familiar with her as well.
"Never mind, let's ask for some information first."
Obito activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and controlled Uchiha Izumi with genjutsu.
He was familiar with Izumi from his world, but this Izumi from a parallel world certainly wouldn't answer his questions honestly, so he had to use genjutsu.
"Do you know Habu Myugetsu?"
Obito asked.
"No, I don't."
Uchiha Izumi shook her head, looking dazed.
Obito took a deep breath and continued, "Is the Uchiha clan planning a coup?"
"Yes, the clan is planning to stage a coup in nine days."
"Nine days."
Obito frowned slightly. If he had arrived in this world a bit later, he would have only seen a bunch of haunted houses.
If his memory served him right, Konoha took action one day before the Uchiha clan's planned coup.
In other words, in eight days, the Uchiha clan would be exterminated.
"If this world is the same as the first parallel world, then Shizui of this world should have been dead for quite some time."
Obito sighed and, not giving up, asked Uchiha Izumi another question.
"Is Uchiha Shizui still alive?"
"He committed suicide. But there's a rumor in the clan that Itachi killed Shizui and made it look like a suicide."
Uchiha Izumi replied.
"Do you know Uchiha Obito?"
Obito asked his final question.
"I've heard of him. He supposedly died in the war."
Obito silently canceled the genjutsu and left the Uchiha clan grounds, finding the memorial stone honoring ninjas who died in the war.
Looking at the names on the memorial stone, Obito was at a loss for words for a moment.
Naruto Uzumaki, the orphan; Uchiha Obito, who died in the war; the Uchiha clan, about to stage a coup...
Everything here was so similar to what he knew about the first parallel world.
So, should he continue gathering information to prove that this world was the first parallel world and then silently wait for the Fourth Ninja World War? Or should he do something good within his capabilities?
"There's only one answer. Since this world doesn't have Myugetsu, I'll become this world's Myugetsu!"
Obito waved his hand, erasing the characters "Uchiha Obito" from the memorial stone, and burst into laughter.
Verifying the consistency of the world required a vast amount of information. By the time he finished gathering intelligence, the Uchiha clan's graves would be overgrown with grass.
So, Obito's choice wasn't actually to go back and change the night of the extermination but to go back with a chance of changing that night.
In this situation, for Obito, it was a simple choice because he only had one option: to change the night of the extermination.
No way. How could he sit idly by and watch the Uchiha clan be exterminated for a vague hope of returning?
If he could really do such a thing, he wouldn't be Uchiha Obito, and he would have betrayed Myugetsu's teachings.
"Who are you, and what are you doing!"
Kakashi, who was preparing to pay his respects to his late friend, saw this scene and shouted.
Kakashi quickly walked up to the memorial stone, a place he often visited to mourn Obito. He was very familiar with the memorial stone, so he instantly knew whose name had been erased, and a raging fire of anger burned within him.
This was not only because Obito was his dear friend but also because Obito was a hero who sacrificed himself for Konoha!
Without further questioning, Kakashi directly swung a fierce punch.
No matter who the other party was, Kakashi would make them pay the price.
Slap.
Something unexpected happened; the person caught Kakashi's fist steadily without even looking at him!
"Could it be a spy from an enemy ninja village?"
Kakashi's mind raced with countless speculations.
However, the next moment, all of Kakashi's speculations were completely overturned.
"It's really heartbreaking. Is the first thing you do after a long separation to throw a punch?"
Obito slowly turned around, looking hurt as he gazed at Kakashi.
"Obi...to!"
Kakashi felt like the air had suddenly become as viscous as glue, and his throat struggled to move as he spoke the name.
He stared at the face, both familiar and unfamiliar to him, in disbelief.
"Who are you? Obito is dead!"
Kakashi was, after all, an elite ninja who had experienced countless battles. He quickly withdrew his hand to create distance, then took out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch and aimed it at the spy who dared to mock him.
The most ⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥come⊥⊥first⊥hair⊥!
Kakashi was the one who knew best whether Obito was dead or alive.
In the cave, Obito had been hit by a falling boulder, crushing half of his body, and was eventually buried in the cave.
Kakashi moved the forehead protector that covered his Sharingan, staring intently at the spy with bloodshot eyes.
However, the spy's disguise technique seemed very convincing, and even Kakashi, with his three-tomoe-sharingan, couldn't spot any flaws.
"Tsk, don't talk nonsense. I'm clearly alive and well."
Compared to Kakashi, who was seething with anger and in a fighting stance, Obito seemed exceptionally composed, even smiling continuously.
"You're saying that I was killed by the falling rock, right?"
Although he could easily defeat the parallel world's Kakashi, Obito didn't intend to fight here, so he began to explain.
"That day, after I pushed you away, I was hit by the falling boulder myself, and I thought I was going to die. But then, something strange happened.
When I woke up, I was no longer in the cave but in a strange ruin..."
In fact, Obito knew that the parallel world's Obito hadn't died either, but he couldn't possibly explain his own experiences as "Obito," or he would be thrown into prison immediately.
Obito could only come up with a set of excuses on his own.
"You're saying that you turned misfortune into a blessing, not only surviving but also entering the ruins of the Six Paths Sage, fully recovering and greatly enhancing your strength?"
Kakashi gripped the kunai tightly, speaking with a mocking tone.
"It seems you've read quite a few ninja novels."
Kakashi secretly gathered his chakra; he didn't believe a word of the spy's story.
The mention of the mythical Six Paths Sage was clearly intended to mock him.
"You idiot, Kakashi."
Obito scratched his head, feeling like a scholar trying to reason with a soldier.
"When I was five and just started school, during the class on shadow clone jutsu, you, always wanting to show off, used the shadow clone technique. In the first exam..."
Seeing Kakashi's disbelief, Obito had no choice but to recall his childhood memories and the memories of the Six Paths Obito, continuing his explanation.
At first, Kakashi maintained his cold expression, facing an enemy. But as Obito revealed more details, Kakashi's face gradually changed.
Knowing that Obito's cause of death might have been due to stealing Konoha's intelligence, but knowing so many intimate details of their daily lives together, that was something else entirely.
What kind of spy would record the daily life of a little brat in their free time?
Kakashi stared intently at the spy's face, and the sound of the cave collapsing seemed to echo in his ears again. His mouth was bleeding, yet he still wore a foolish smile, saying he wanted to give him a gift. This image lingered in Kakashi's mind, unable to shake it off.
"How is that possible..."
Kakashi murmured, so absorbed that he didn't even notice the kunai slipping from his tight grip until it hit the ground, making a sound. Only then did he realize that he had failed to hold onto his weapon.
Was he paralyzed by memories, or was it because the spy was too much like Obito? Or perhaps it was because this "Obito" had no trace of hostility or murderous intent. Maybe it was all of the above, but in any case, Kakashi couldn't bring himself to fight the person before him.
"Randomly throwing kunai can cause trouble, especially in a place like this."
Obito bent down, picked up the kunai from the ground, and handed it to Kakashi.
Kakashi looked into Obito's dark eyes, his thoughts unknown, and didn't immediately take it.
Obito didn't dodge; instead, he looked straight at Kakashi, chuckled, and placed his hand on Kakashi's shoulder, "It's been a long time, Kakashi."
"Indeed, it has been a long time, Obito."
Kakashi took the kunai, his face filled with complex emotions, and sighed deeply.
Although Obito's words were absurd, Kakashi was certain that this person was Obito, the Uchiha Obito from his memories.
"Kakashi, without me as your teammate, you've been struggling. You've been looking so down for so long that you're on the verge of becoming that kind of good-for-nothing middle-aged man."
Obito teased.
If time could be rewound by nine years, Kakashi would have cited various experiences to prove his superiority and then ruthlessly mocked Obito.
But now, Kakashi merely lowered his head slightly, looking at his right hand, calloused from years of training.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't protect Rin. She... she's dead."
