Chapter 294 Insulting Uchiha Obito Face-to-Face
A person with brown hair, purple face paint, a smiling face, and a very gentle and understanding voice.
"??????"
Obito was completely confused, thinking: I think you're talking about Rin, but I don't think you guys know her—
However, their casual conversation was soon interrupted by Kakashi's song.
The lyrics, which I initially found strange, seemed to be Kakashi expressing some kind of emotion through the song the more I listened. Kakashi:
【"We have to stop, but we can't stop. The night flies on our backs. Let's party! Let's party! We'll never fall!♪"】
【"Sun, sun, please tell me, why, why, why are there so many regrets~♪"】
"Nightfall, nightfall, please tell me what to do so that my soul won't break~♪"
As Obito Uchiha listened, he became completely absorbed in Kakashi's voice.
Just like the comments said earlier, it looks like a rambling song, but it makes listeners feel the singer is drowning in emotions, wanting to cry for help but not even having the strength to do so.
It was as if a person had lost all their vitality.
He was alive, but he was like a walking corpse.
Or perhaps they are like wind-up toys, following commands step by step: breathe, eat, sleep, kill.
Naruto and Sasuke also fell silent. Kakashi wasn't one to talk much about his past; it was like a mask he kept tightly guarded.
But they all knew that Kakashi's past seemed to always be accompanied by regrets, and there was very little that made him feel successful in order to offset those regrets.
After the Fourth Shinobi World War, Obito had already repented and reformed before his death. Although he also said goodbye to Kakashi, he gave him a congratulatory gift for taking office as Hokage in advance, which came in very handy.
But now, hearing Kakashi sing this song, Obito Uchiha is still overwhelmed by self-blame and guilt.
He knew everything about Kakashi, including how he would occasionally use Kamui to go to Konoha after faking his death.
After Minato's death, Kakashi lost his last protector. The Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura, citing a lack of other options, made full use of Kakashi.
These events intensified his hatred for the ninja system at that time.
Obito Uchiha stared blankly at the sky, above which countless comments floated by: [Holy crap, this song's lyrics are so fitting] 10+ people thought it was great. [Like the Sixth Hokage conducting on-site research] 10+ people thought it was great. [Why, why so many regrets? How to say it, how to do it so the soul doesn't break? It really fits Kakashi's mental state at that time—] 10+ people thought it was great. [His will to live was very weak at that time; he only lived to protect Rin and the Konoha that Obito wanted to protect.] 10+ people thought it was great. [The anime explained why he loved reading "Make-Out Paradise." After Minato's death, Jiraiya noticed Kakashi's abnormal state and that he was still reading "How Ninjas Die." To adjust Kakashi's state, he gave him his own "Make-Out Paradise" to read.]
10+ people liked this: [Hahaha, and then it just spiraled out of control, even recommending the book to Sasuke.] 10+ people liked this: [If Minato and Kushina hadn't died, Kakashi might not have ended up like that. Minato even assigned Kakashi the task of protecting the pregnant Kushina, wanting him to witness the birth of a new life.] 10+ people liked this: [Uchiha Obito, come out and take your beating!] 10+ people liked this: [There was a father who took his 4-year-old son to the battlefield, and then the child listened to Orochimaru's nonsense about life being meaningless, leading the four-year-old to commit suicide.] 10+ people liked this: "Wait?! Such a thing exists?"
"That Orochimaru?"
The ninjas from the sub-era of Boruto's timeline were discussing it.
Even Naruto didn't know: "That Orochimaru guy! I wonder how that kid is doing?"
"—" Sasuke Uchiha had received Itachi's memories, so of course he knew: "Itachi—"
Naruto: "Huh?"
"Itachi went and committed suicide."
Naruto thought of Itachi Uchiha, but for a moment he couldn't connect him with the word "child".
Upon closer reflection, isn't it just that Sasuke's father threw 4-year-old Itachi onto the battlefield?
However, he couldn't criticize his father in front of Sasuke, right? After all, he was the Seventh Hokage; he still had that much emotional intelligence.
In the comments section—
[Itachi only truly understood the meaning of life after witnessing Sasuke's birth, transforming it from "life is only about death" to "life continues, and new possibilities will be born."] 10+ people liked this. [Naruto trivia: Kakashi was protecting Naruto even before he was born.] 10+ people liked this. [If he could have witnessed Naruto's birth, and Minato hadn't forced Kakashi to undertake those dark missions, Kakashi's Anbu career wouldn't have been so dark.] 10+ people liked this. [Luckily, Might Guy performed a deep bow, using his unwavering determination to pull Kakashi out of the Anbu.] 10+ people liked this. [Obito, Obito-kun, can you see this? You're far inferior to Might Guy!! (Very loudly)] 10+ people liked this. Uchiha Obito: "—"
It's one thing to feel guilty, but isn't it a bit much to be so blatantly insulting me?!
A 32-year-old man was almost brought to tears by the comments: "I'm a beast for killing Minato-sensei and Kushina-nee—I shouldn't be alive—for me, death is the only relief—"
EMO —
Naruto and Sasuke let him be emotional, mainly because they didn't know how to persuade him. They couldn't very well say, "Yes, that's right, but you'd be lucky to die," right? Although that was the truth.
"Was there another girl you killed as well?"
Boruto, who had seen the previous comments, delivered a bombshell: "Sasuke from other timelines wished that everyone you killed could be resurrected—"
"Besides Grandpa and Grandma, a girl named Rin also came back to life." Boruto accused, "Speaking of which, how many people have you killed? At least tens of thousands were brought back to life by that wish!"
Other young ninjas from the next generation: "?! This guy is that strong?!"
"We just saw his abilities; he's like a ghost."
"But tens of thousands of people is an exaggeration!"
"Hey, Boruto, stop talking."
Naruto's belated intervention ultimately sent Obito away.
Obito Uchiha: _（」∠)_ Why don't you just kill me?
On the other side, Kakashi and Might Guy wanted to rush back, but found that they couldn't find Sarutobi Mirai.
So the two of them could only watch the VCR for the time being while searching for Sarutobi Mirai's whereabouts.
"It seems she was tricked into joining a cult," Kakashi confirmed after making inquiries. "It also seems to be related to the Akatsuki organization from back then, that man named Hidan."
"Hidan?!" Might Guy: "Then isn't that—" the one who killed Sarutobi Asuma?!
In the video, Kakashi is singing that calm yet crazy song:
["Thump, it fell~♪"]
【"The fruit fell with a thud~♪"】
【"Swoosh~ Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh~♪"】
【"Flowers bloomed beneath my feet, then I fell with a thud, my bones thudded~♪"】
"Okay, okay~♪ You can turn back into a child now~♪"
The VCR footage shows simple handwritten drawings.
A young boy named Kakashi pushed open the door to his home and saw Sakumo Hatake commit suicide at his doorstep.
Obito was trapped under a boulder and entrusted his Sharingan to him.
A thousand birds pierced Rin's chest, and Kakashi's hands, which he couldn't get clean no matter how hard he tried, were still wet when he got up at night.
Minato and Kushina were pierced by the Nine-Tails' claws.
The entire scene is in black, white, and gray, yet it possesses a powerfully oppressive impact.
"Are you alright, Kakashi?"
Might Guy, with a stern face, inquired about Kakashi's condition with concern.
"I'm okay now—"
Kakashi said softly.
But in the past, he truly endured the pain of losing one important person after another every moment.
"Singing is enough, it's enough~♪ You can turn back into a child now~♪" The handwritten drawing depicts Kakashi fighting Pain, then being buried alive in the ruins—
Then, with one foot already in the Pure Land, he seemed to see Obito, Kakashi, and Minato from his childhood again in the darkness.
Add him—
The water gate team is now complete.
"I should really beat you up!" Naruto said angrily.
The song sung by Kakashi was so light and calm, yet it was like a hydrogen bomb exploding in his heart. Combined with the images in those handwritten letters, it expressed a tenth or a twentieth of the bitterness in Kakashi's heart.
Obito asked helplessly, "Will just beating me up be enough to calm things down?"
In that case, he would be willing to endure being beaten up ten, a hundred, or even a thousand times, let alone just one beating.
"Nonsense! Of course not!" Naruto retorted angrily, "Although your abilities were a great help during the Fourth Shinobi World War—"
"But that's completely different from the fact that you killed my parents, caused the Akatsuki to change drastically, started the Fourth Shinobi World War, and killed so many people."
Obito nodded. "I think so too."
The fact that Naruto was willing to get angry about him after his death was enough for him to be grateful for.
He originally thought that as long as the Infinite Tsukuyomi was achieved, Kakashi would no longer have to suffer these things.
Rin will live happily with him, and his ideal "Uchiha Obito" will also exist.
[An 800-meter-long sword!] 100,000+ people liked this. [Neji often talks about fate, but few people in Konoha have suffered as much as Kakashi, who almost single-handedly bore all the pain.] 100,000+ people liked this. [Sasuke is also pitiful; he's the Uchiha's king of resilience.] 100,000+ people liked this. [This song sounds like an Anbu member returning home exhausted and wounded after finishing an S-rank mission.]
The enemy slain by the Lightning Blade overlapped in his mind with Rin, and he sang this song in secret, curled up, unable to sleep from the pain. [10+ people liked this] [I seriously suspect Kakashi was already severely depressed at that time—] [10+ people liked this] [It has a kind of calm madness, like a song he hummed after stabbing Rin to death and not washing his hands properly.] [10+ people liked this] [What do you want to do with this?! What good would it do you to kill me?! Can you inherit my estate?] [10+ people liked this] Boruto timeline—
Obito Uchiha: "I never imagined that so many of those all-knowing gods would like Kakashi. It feels like going back to the ninja academy when I was a kid."
Naruto also recalled his childhood and laughed, "Yeah, that was true back then too. Almost all the girls in the class liked Sasuke."
"?" Chocho asked, "Seventh Generation Lord, didn't you say you were just as popular as Sarada's father?"
"Uh—" Naruto puffed out his chest, "Well, of course, all the girls in the class like both Sasuke and me!"
Sasuke glanced at him sideways and gave a cold smile.
Naruto smiled ingratiatingly at him, begging him not to expose him.
Obito got back to the point: "Kakashi has you guys and Guy with him now, so he shouldn't be in so much pain anymore, right?"
"Maybe," Naruto couldn't fathom Kakashi's thoughts either. "To be honest, Kakashi has always kept himself very hidden."
"Knowing that I've come back to life must be a burden for him, right?"
"I don't think so, and you can't hide forever, can you?" Naruto said. "Let's face him honestly later."
Obito nodded, still hesitant in his heart.
The group continued watching the VCR in the sky and listening to music. Kakashi:
【"Gods, gods, open your mouths and let me know who I am~♪"】
【"It pushes me towards the sky, past the dust and ash~♪"】
【"Unable to stop or not stop, the night flies on my back~♪"】
【"Let's party, let's party, we'll never fall~♪"】
"Kai—"
"What? Kakashi?"
"I feel like I've never thanked you before. It was so kind of you to get me out of the Anbu back then."
Kakashi smiled slightly. "Father was right. You really are my best opponent."
The tough guy with a tender heart—Matt Kai's nose is tingling!
He has always been an outgoing person, and tears welled up in his eyes!
"Father! Father!"
"what?"
Kakashi was dumbfounded. It didn't have to come to the point of calling him "Dad," did it?
Might Guy: "Father! I did it! Kakashi acknowledges me as a worthy opponent!"
"No, wait!" Kakashi said awkwardly, "As for being a rival, I've already acknowledged you!"
Regardless, Might Guy, the man known in the martial arts world as the King of Guy—bursts into tears!
Kakashi:
【"Sun, sun, please tell me, why, why, why are there so many regrets~♪"】
"Nightfall, nightfall, please tell me what to do so that my soul won't break~♪"
The video clips featured handwritten text, quickly flashing past scenes of Kakashi's buried regrets—
The humiliating death of his father, whom he regarded as a hero; Obito's sacrifice; Rin's death; and the passing of Minato-sensei.
A scene with a red background shows figures leaving Kakashi, a young ANBU member.
Night, night, tell me—
Why can't I get my hands clean no matter how much I wash them?
How can we prevent people from leaving?
Why—
Can't you take me with you?
The words that flashed through these video clips were like reading into the heart of young Kakashi—
In the Nine-Tails' rampage timeline, Kakashi doesn't need to read the comments from the sky to Obito this time; Obito can hear the song Kakashi sings.
That kind of madness brewing beneath an extremely calm exterior, a madness that can't be unleashed.
Obito understood this pain; he was the story, he was dead. He lost Rin, he lost Kakashi, the pride of his faith, and he personally caused the deaths of Minato and Kushina.
【"It fell with a thud, and inside the shell, a heart filled with unease~♪"】
The mask of the Anbu fell to the ground with a thud and was put on by Kakashi, concealing all his emotions.
【"With a thud, the flower blooms, and looking up, I see the sunlight~♪"】
A strange lotus flower blooms in the air.
Looking up, the flowers bloomed enchantingly in the moonlight.
Suddenly, the pattern of the Rinnegan appeared in the middle of a full moon.
【"With a thud, it fell, and life became empty and desolate~♪"】
The moonlight shone brightly on the earth, and everyone's eyes turned into the pattern of the Rinnegan.
Thick tree roots grow wildly from the ground.
In the next scene, everyone is now hanging from a tree like silkworms in cocoons.
"I've turned into a child again, and the wind carries me on my wanderings~♪"
It's still that same red background.
One by one, the people who had disappeared from Kakashi's life during his youth began to reappear.
【"Gods, gods, open your mouths and let me know who I am. They push me towards the heavens, past the dust and ash~♪"】
Although the lyrics push me towards the sky.
But the image shows Kakashi, who died in the battle against Pain, returning to his childhood self in his consciousness.
He continued to fall in the lake of his heart, and finally arrived at the side of the person he wanted to see.
"Whether we stop or not, the night flies on our backs, let's party, let's party, just relax, relax, we'll never fall~♪"
'
]
I suddenly felt incredibly at ease.
Finally, I can let go of my vow to "protect Konoha" and spend time with everyone.
【"Flying over ears of wheat, flying over neon lights, flying over tombstones, flying over piles of rubble~♪"】
But at the last moment, three people suddenly appeared and pulled him back up.
Being a scarecrow watching over the wheat fields and observing their growth brings a sense of peace.
Standing before the tombstone, Kakashi put on the Sixth Hokage's robe, swept the tombstone, and donned the Hokage's hat.
The video ended, and although it's different in style from Black Zetsu's "Lupin Flower," the overall feeling is that the more you listen, the more upset you become.
The number of comments in the sky surged, one after another, saying: "Flying over ears of wheat, flying over neon lights, flying over tombstones, flying over piles of rubble~♪"
