However, no one responded to her shout.
On the other side of the audience, Sasuke was taking the opportunity to ask Jiraiya about various training issues, while Naruto listened attentively, nodding seriously from time to time, clearly also gaining a lot.
The three of them were probably too engrossed in their work to notice the sudden conflict unfolding on the screen.
……
on the screen.
Obito looked up and met Kakashi's angry yet complicated gaze, and inwardly cried out: I'm doomed, my identity is now completely exposed!
Kakashi has definitely recognized me...
But with Rin present, Obito naturally didn't want her to know the real conflict that had occurred between the two.
He forced a smile and was about to say something when Kakashi suddenly stepped forward, his sharp gaze shooting straight at Rin.
Kakashi's body tensed up, and the chilling killing intent emanating from him made Obito's heart skip a beat.
Seeing Kakashi's gaze, Obito's expression also darkened.
"Kakashi..." Obito's voice was low and hoarse, tinged with anger, "Don't give us that look... You don't deserve it!"
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
Kakashi was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned even angrier: "What did you say?!"
Kakashi never expected that Obito, who had already been caught red-handed, would still be so self-righteous.
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Lin was stunned by the tense atmosphere between the two.
In just a few minutes, things seemed to have completely spiraled out of her comprehension: how could two friends who were fine just moments before suddenly become like enemies and start fighting?!
She glanced at Obito with concern, then turned to look at Kakashi, noticing that both of them wore expressions of unprecedented seriousness and anger.
The look in her eyes, as if she regarded the other person as a mortal enemy, made Lin Fang's heart sink.
What happened to turn these once close teammates into this?
Lin was bewildered and frightened, completely unable to understand the reason.
Especially considering how ruthless Kakashi's attack was just now, if he hadn't stopped him in time, Obito would probably have...!
Lin felt a lump in her throat, and her eyes involuntarily reddened.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she tried to hold them back, and her voice trembled with sobs: "Kakashi, Obito! What happened to you two? Why did you suddenly start fighting? Kakashi, you hit so hard just now, you almost strangled Obito to death!"
Lin couldn't hold back any longer as she spoke, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She was truly angry and frightened, and cried her heart out, looking utterly pitiful.
Kakashi looked at the tears rolling down Rin's cheeks and felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart, instantly cooling down most of his anger.
He opened his mouth, but the sound stuck in his throat, as if he was about to say something.
But then it suddenly occurred to me that there were audiences outside this dream world.
Thinking of this, Kakashi's anger gradually subsided, his complex gaze flickered a few times, and finally he slowly closed his mouth, choosing to remain silent.
Seeing this, Obito also fell silent. After a moment, Obito suddenly stepped forward and patted Rin on the shoulder.
"Rin, don't cry!" Obito gave Rin a forced, lighthearted smile and a thumbs-up. "Hehe, were you scared by us just now? Actually, we were just playing... well, playing role-playing games!"
"What—?" Rin stopped crying, looked up at Obito blankly, and didn't react for a moment.
Kakashi was also taken aback: "Obito, you..."
Without a word, Obito grabbed Kakashi's neck and practically dragged him to his side.
Obito grinned and chuckled twice, then pretended to be good buddies with Rin: "Look, we're really good friends, how could we possibly have a fight! We were just role-playing, just kidding!"
Lin's eyes widened, and she was even more bewildered: "Acting?!"
Kakashi was struggling to breathe as Obito choked him, and instinctively tried to break free, but when he caught a glimpse of the shocked and bewildered look on Rin's face, his heart softened, and he didn't immediately push Obito away.
Seeing this, Obito secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then hooked his arm around Kakashi's neck and urged in a low voice, "Cooperate a little!"
Kakashi, left with no choice but to nod in agreement, reluctantly agreed.
He turned his face away and said awkwardly in a low voice, "Uh, yes... Lin, we were just sparring and practicing. We didn't really fight, so don't worry."
Lin wiped away her tears, still somewhat doubtful: "R-really?"
Kakashi nodded, pointing at Obito with his right hand: "By the way, this idea was Obito's!"
"Huh?!" Obito's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Kakashi. "Kakashi, you're clearly—"
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
Lin stared blankly at the two boys in front of her, who were singing in unison.
Her expression shifted from surprise to anger, and she stomped her feet in frustration: "You two—!"
Lin stomped her foot in anger, tears welling up in her eyes again. "How could you make such a joke? That's too much!"
She turned away, choking back tears, and said, "Obito, I'm never talking to you again!"
After saying that, she covered her face, cried sadly, and ran back to the classroom.
……
in the audience.
Sakura was already engrossed in watching, so excited that she leaned forward slightly, afraid of missing any detail on the screen.
[Ding! Sakura Haruno's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
She cupped her face in her hands, her eyes practically sparkling with curiosity: "Oh my god... Kakashi-sensei's love life when he was a child was so complicated!"
Sakura felt that this scene was like a soap opera, with a complicated love triangle between the three seniors: Obito liked Rin, Rin cared about Kakashi, but Kakashi and Obito turned against each other and fought!
This complicated relationship stirred her emotions, and she kept imagining all sorts of exciting scenarios in her mind.
"I never expected this..." Sakura exclaimed excitedly to herself, "So Kakashi-sensei had these kinds of chaotic situations when he was young!"
She was so excited that her breathing became rapid, and she couldn't wait to take out her notebook and write down this gossip to savor later.
On the other side, Jiraiya maintained his lecturing posture, but now he had a look of utter despair on his face.
He hung his head listlessly, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant, and sighed inwardly, "What the hell... this Uchiha brat, why does he have so many questions?!"
Jiraiya forced himself to stay alert and answered Sasuke's barrage of training questions. He was practically hoarse from talking so much, and inwardly he was groaning: "Do I have to be dragged into a lesson just to have a dream? This is just too absurd!"
If it weren't for the fact that they were both juniors from Konoha, he would have liked to slap this clueless brat unconscious.
[Ding! Jiraiya's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
……
on the screen.
Lin's figure had disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
Obito stared in the direction Rin had run off in, then stretched out a hand in frustration: "Eh—no, it really wasn't my idea!"
Unfortunately, all that answered him was an empty echo.
Obito turned around angrily and grabbed Kakashi by the collar: "Kakashi, you bastard! You're the one who caused all this trouble!"
"You actually..."
That bastard Kakashi, how dare he try to shift the blame onto him!!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +800!]
However, Kakashi's expression remained unusually calm, his dark eyes fixed intently on Obito Uchiha in front of him.
Feeling Kakashi's gaze, Obito turned his head away and loosened his grip on Kakashi.
Kakashi slowly began, "Obito... why..."
He stopped speaking halfway through his sentence, his voice hoarse, the rest of his words choked by bitterness in his throat.
Upon hearing this, Obito let out a low, bitter laugh: "Heh heh... Why? I want to know why too!"
He whirled around, staring directly at Kakashi again, his eyes filled with suppressed pain and madness. "Kakashi, do you know? — I saw it!"
Kakashi's heart skipped a beat, and his pupils suddenly contracted: "You saw it? You saw what?"
Could it be?
Deep within his mind, a bloody image flashed uncontrollably: the Third Shinobi World War, at Kannabi Bridge, where he had personally pierced the girl's chest with his Lightning Blade...
Lin's sorrowful smile intertwined with the splattering blood, transforming into an indelible nightmare!
Kakashi's face turned deathly pale, and he staggered back half a step: "Could it be... because of that?!"
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
"Is it because of that that you blame me?" Kakashi's voice trembled.
Obito coldly interrupted Kakashi: "What's the point of blaming you for that ridiculous reality?!"
He suddenly burst into two wild laughs, his laughter filled with mockery and sorrow. "I... have no interest in that world anymore!"
Kakashi was struck dumb upon hearing this, his mind going blank with a "buzz".
He stared blankly at Obito, opened his mouth in disbelief, but didn't know what to say.
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +800!]
Obito slowly approached Kakashi, his smile abruptly vanishing, replaced by an endless chill.
He stared intently into Kakashi's eyes and said, enunciating each word clearly, "And—listen to me, Kakashi!"
Obito suddenly raised his hand, pointing in the direction Rin had left, his voice low and firm, "Don't even think about doing anything to Rin again!"
Kakashi was utterly shocked and blurted out, "I would never—"
"I don't need your promises!" Obito interrupted him sharply. "If anything happens to her, I will absolutely not let you off the hook, absolutely not!"
Chapter 151 Is Obito's transformation due to...?
[This time, the dream-fulfilling recipients are: Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha]
