Chapter 385 - Chapter 232: Obito Gone Mad

After a reform, Konoha Prison has been split into two places.

One is a temporary detention center, specifically for those villagers who violated Konoha's management regulations for minor offenses like fighting; the impact is relatively light, the maximum duration is just a month. So the temporary detention center is quite simple and uncomfortable, ensuring that those who come in once will definitely not want to come a second time.

The other place is where long-term prisoners are held. Once inside, their Chakra and pressure points are sealed, and they are put in ankle and wrist chains, required to do labor reform every day.

Currently, many places in Konoha are under construction; just the railways connecting various places are slated to build five simultaneously, requiring considerable labor and workers.

These people who committed heinous crimes or were captured are valuable now; a Security Team ninja can supervise twenty prisoners. If anyone resists, they will be executed on the spot with no second chance.

As for the deepest layer of the prison holding long-term prisoners, where the most notorious criminal is housed, currently, it's only Uchiha Obito. Although there's a seal placed on him, the surrounding seal of the prison hasn't been activated.

Uchiha Yoichi also wanted White Zetsu to rescue Obito, then he would use Flying Thunder God to reach the Akatsuki Organization base and take them down in one go.

But it's been two or three days, and White Zetsu hasn't appeared, seemingly abandoning Uchiha Obito.

Tap, tap, tap.

Several footsteps echoed in the quiet prison. Upon hearing this sound, Uchiha Obito lying on the ground had slight fluctuations in his chest, but he still didn't move.

His injuries have been treated somewhat, having lost the Kamui Sharingan, and his Chakra isn't sealed, so there's no fear of Uchiha Obito escaping on his own.

If not treated, the necrotic tissue on Uchiha Obito's body would mean his death within a few short days.

After the footsteps stopped at the prison entrance, Uchiha Obito lying on the ground heard a familiar voice.

"Obito, why is it you?"

Kakashi....

Uchiha Obito knew upon getting caught back to Konoha, he would face many interrogations and torture, but the last person he wanted to see was Hatake Kakashi. Thankfully, his eyes had been taken so he couldn't see Kakashi.

"...I have nothing much to say now, Kakashi. I heard you're now a genius Jonin, son of the Fourth Generation Hokage. Why not let the village quickly execute me."

Kakashi touched his left eye covered by the headband, and continued, "I read the interrogation intel. You could have returned as a Konoha Hero back then. Why did you go looking for...."

"And what about you, Kakashi? You didn't even keep our promise. How did Rin die..."

"Obito..."

A familiar voice interrupted Obito's anger, suddenly leaving him dazed on the spot.

This voice, he often dreamt of it before, even reminisced it once or twice a day...it's undoubtedly Rin.

"Kakashi, who is the person beside you? Is it a Transformation Jutsu! If wanting to obtain intel, the Secret Technique of the Yamanaka Clan can extract information from my mind, why resort to such despicable..."

Obito's roar wasn't finished, Nohara Rin directly interrupted, "Obito, I didn't die."

Nohara Rin's voice interrupted Obito again, then Kakashi spoke, "Obito, I also learned the situation at the time. Rin voluntarily thrust herself onto my ninja blade to avoid the Three-tailed Beast attacking Konoha..."

"Let me continue, Kakashi."

Nohara Rin interrupted Kakashi, then spoke to Uchiha Obito, "Obito, thanks to you saving me and Kakashi at Shinobi Bridge, I was too weak back then. So after returning to the village, I followed Teacher Uchiha Minami to learn Medical Ninjutsu, and at Teacher Minami's recommendation, learned the Sage Curse Seal from Teacher Yoichi..."

Nohara Rin shared some events following Uchiha Obito, slightly modifying them to portray Uchiha Yoichi's tactics as her own requests, and she successfully became Uchiha Yoichi's sixth disciple.

These words struck Uchiha Obito, leaving him in disbelief. He always thought Nohara Rin had died, only to learn now that she survived, was protected in the village due to a talisman on her heart...

"Obito, Teacher Yoichi discovered that Hidden Mist was just a surface culprit, the real ones are still hidden, that's why secrets were kept. But I never expected you would conspire with the real culprits, even killed Teacher Minato, you...."

Nohara Rin's tone was filled with disappointment towards Obito. She was grateful he saved her, but knowing the crazed Obito, she only felt like avoiding him.

Regarding her affection for Obito, Nohara Rin found it terrifying. Obito had become too extreme now, if not for him saving her before, she wouldn't have wanted to meet him.

"Obito, I've finished explaining the details. You...were actually deceived."

After Nohara Rin finished talking, Obito felt like he was in despair, feeling that they spoke too much.

Therefore she said to Kakashi, "Kakashi, let's go."

"Mm."

Kakashi sighed, then left the deepest layer of the prison with Nohara Rin.

He felt Obito was very pitiful, but regretfully, even as the son of the Fourth Hokage, Kakashi couldn't save Obito.

The sins Uchiha Obito committed were too heavy; Namikaze Minato was killed by him, along with the deaths of dozens of Elite Ninja from Konoha, all connected to him. In this scenario, after squeezing out all intel from him and exhausting his value, he would be sentenced to death.
