Someone?
Kakashi rolled his Byakugan eyes: "The person I'm facing now is the strongest enemy in the ninja world. Whether I can survive depends on luck."
"So, isn't that why I'm here to help you?" Obito proudly raised his head. "Come on, call me 'Obito Big Brother,' and I'll give you both of my eyes."
"Obito!" Kakashi said without hesitation.
Obito: "..."
I'm totally confused...
Rin was also stunned for a moment, then gently tugged on Obito's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Obito, is this Kakashi a little strange?"
Kakashi smiled confidently: "Kurama once said: a person's sense of shame can be thrown away along with their conscience. The more talented someone is, the stronger they can grow. But once they abandon their sense of shame... then they can become even stronger!"
Rin: "..."
Did we pick the wrong person?
Obito rubbed his forehead.
He still underestimated Kakashi. Right, how much shame could a guy who goes to buy adult comics in broad daylight have? Even Naruto knows to use the transformation skill, but this guy is too lazy to even use that.
Just totally slacking off.
You ask how he knows?
Seriously, he's been spying on Kakashi for more than a day or two. He even knows how many moles Kakashi has on his thigh.
"I underestimated you, Kakashi," Obito sighed.
Kakashi grinned: "I overestimated you too, Obito."
Obito: "..."
Suddenly a bit disgusted.
Not disgusted with Kakashi, but disgusted with himself. He actually thought that he could get Kakashi to just call him "Big Brother" and it would be over. With this guy's morals, he'd probably accept anything as long as it wasn't calling someone "Dad." He should have made him bow down to the ground.
"Okay, I'll give you the eyes," Obito shook his head helplessly, then his expression turned serious. "But you have to fight me first."
"Like before?" Kakashi still had the same look, but his voice suddenly had a strange sadness.
"Yes," Obito nodded seriously. "In ninja school, I couldn't beat you. After graduation, you became a Jonin, but I was just a Genin and still couldn't beat you. When I finally became a Chunin, it was already... After that, I never had a chance to spar with you."
He took a deep breath, his eyes full of seriousness as he looked at Kakashi. "I don't want you to disturb Rin and me so quickly, so I need to make sure that you won't die."
Kakashi fell silent.
Obito didn't say much more. He turned to look at Rin, who was still a little lost, and said with a smile, "Rin, go wait over there for a bit. It'll be over soon."
Rin looked at Obito, then at Kakashi, and finally smiled and nodded obediently, turning to walk towards the edge of the field.
Kakashi looked at Rin's back and suddenly laughed: "This isn't bad either."
"What, you want to steal Rin from me? Sorry, you don't have a chance." Obito got into a fighting stance, no fancy moves, no hand signs, just his fists
in front of him, his weight lowered, facing Kakashi.
Kakashi shrugged and followed suit, getting into a fighting stance: "I just think that Rin doesn't really need to be here, so we can talk more simply."
Yes, no need for so many metaphors.
"Originally, I was planning to come back alone, but Rin decided to come with me in the end." Obito's expression became serious, and he charged forward directly, throwing a punch. "But Rin said that she won't be able to watch over you forever in the future, so she wanted to say goodbye to you one last time, and also tell you... that it was her own choice, so don't blame yourself."
Kakashi dodged the punch, his body agile as he fought Obito, their fists and kicks simple and direct, each strike seeming like an ordinary attack, just like when they used to spar, without any hatred.
How long has it been...
Kakashi dodged and weaved, smiling as he spoke: "I know it was her choice. It's precisely because of that that I blame myself, because my strength wasn't enough, so she had to make that kind of choice."
That's right, if he could have stopped or killed all the Kirigakure Ninja back then, Rin wouldn't have ended the Mist Village's scheme in that way.
The two punched at the same time, the great force causing them both to retreat subconsciously.
Obito flipped backward, and the moment he landed, his hands were already starting to form hand signs: "Rin doesn't blame you. If you keep blaming yourself, she will also blame herself... so Kakashi, you need to blame yourself. This is what I'm telling you."
His figure suddenly accelerated, and a kunai appeared in front of him the moment Obito formed the hand signs.
Obito could only give up on forming the hand signs, and dodged the kunai's attack again, while his right hand reached into his ninja pouch, took out a kunai, and blocked it in front of him.
Almost at the same time, Kakashi's figure appeared in front of him, the kunai stabbing out, colliding with the kunai in Obito's hand, sparks flying.
Kakashi looked at Obito's face, his eyes sad: "You... have you forgiven me?"
"No," Obito said without hesitation. "I won't forgive you, never will, because you're right, it was your weakness that caused Rin's death. This is something I can never forgive you for."
The kunai began to tremble under the force of both of them. Obito's left hand formed a fist and punched out: "So don't die, Kakashi, live on, live longer, use your remaining life to protect the village that Rin wanted to protect, to protect the companions that Rin wanted to protect, use the rest of your life to atone for your mistakes."
Kakashi stretched out his left hand and grabbed Obito's left hand, kicking out with his right foot: "Then what about you?"
"Me?" Obito blocked Kakashi's right foot, smiling. "My dream used to be to become Hokage. I had already given up on it, but honestly, after seeing Rin, I suddenly remembered some things again, so Kakashi, as a reward for lending you the Sharingan... work hard to become Hokage, protect
Rin's dream while... helping me atone for my sins as well."
"I don't need anyone to remember me, it's enough if you help me atone for my sins."
"There's no need to explain to anyone. Just pretend that a guy like me doesn't exist."
"It's best if you even forget about me. A guy like me isn't qualified to live in anyone's memories."
"So Kakashi, you're enough." Obito's eyes were full of sincerity.
"You really are a... selfish guy," Kakashi laughed, laughing through his tears.
Obito also laughed: "You used to be like that too, irritating."
Yeah, Kakashi used to be really irritating.
Obito suddenly flipped his left hand, grabbing Kakashi's hand: "Lend me your hand for a moment."
"Wh..." Before Kakashi could make a sound, his hand was forcibly turned over by Obito to form a hand sign, directly opposite Obito's arm.
Obito's mouth curled up, and he kicked Kakashi away, jumping into the air, putting his right hand to his mouth, and taking a deep breath: "Fire Release Grand Fireball Jutsu!"
Kakashi was startled, but breathed a sigh of relief the next second when he saw it was a Great Fireball.
It's okay, this thing won't kill anyone.
The searing temperature, along with the huge fireball, flew out. Kakashi was stunned by this power, then his face changed dramatically: "Kurama, you lied to me again!"
This thing doesn't look like it won't kill anyone at all!
Kakashi formed hand signs at almost the fastest speed he had ever achieved in his life, and shouted out loud, slamming his hands on the ground, "Earth Release Earth Wall!"
The earth wall with four dog heads carved on it had just risen, and before he could see whose dog heads they were, the intense flames shattered the entire earth wall.
But fortunately, he managed to delay it a little.
Obito landed on the ground, looking at Kakashi enveloped in flames, and chuckled: "Don't play these tricks with me, Kakashi. I know you too well."
That's true, he knows him quite well.
The next second, the ground cracked open, and a pair of hands reached out from underground, grabbing Obito's legs.
"Earth Release Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!"
Before he could even pull Obito into the ground, Obito suddenly turned into smoke and disappeared.
Obito stood in the distance, watching this scene: "You still like to use Earth Release so much, you're going to be Hokage, what's the point of always using Earth Release?"
Kakashi walked out of the burning flames, scratching the back of his head and said, "The First Hokage used Wood Release, the Second Hokage used Water Release and space-time ninjutsu, the Third Hokage was proficient in all five nature transformations, the Fourth Hokage used a nature-less Rasengan and space-time ninjutsu, and the Fifth Hokage was a medical ninja... We Land of Fire Konoha Village aren't really that proficient in Fire Release ninjutsu to begin with."
Who else uses Fire Release besides the Uchiha?
That thing doesn't kill anyone anyway.
Right, Madara?
Obito was silent, then sighed: "Can't argue with that."
"Right?" Kakashi shrugged.
