After the Three-Tails incident, she accepted Jiraiya and Minato's request to secretly observe Kakashi's mental state.
That's really... terrible!
Just as she suffered from hemophobia, Kakashi's heart was also shattered by the successive losses of his comrades in the war.
However, Kakashi was better at hiding his true feelings and was more patient than her.
"That's right, the keywords given on the forum regarding this Uchiha war criminal are as follows."
"The Sixth Hokage's best friend, STK for eighteen years, elementary school classmate."
"Everyone knows who the Sixth Hokage is. Kakashi Hatake knows only a handful of Uchiha."
"The most important keyword is 18 years. From Kannabi Bridge to the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War, it was exactly 18 years."
"Also, elementary school classmates probably refer to classmates from the ninja academy."
There is only one person who meets these conditions.
"Without a doubt, this Uchiha war criminal is Uchiha Obito."
"But why?" Jiraiya's expression was unusually serious and solemn, and upon closer inspection, one could also detect a hint of sorrow and disbelief.
"I remember that the kid's dream was to become Hokage, and he was able to give away his Sharingan before he died. He didn't seem like the kind of person who would start a war."
No sooner had Jiraiya finished speaking than someone answered.
"They're from the Uchiha clan, so it's not surprising that they do anything."
Several prominent figures from the Uchiha clan.
Madara Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, weren't they both insane and beyond the comprehension of ordinary people?
"Yeah, yeah, the Uchiha clan are all a bunch of extreme thinkers."
"Quiet," Tobirama raised his hand to stop the discussion, signaling Shikaku to continue.
Shikaku nodded and continued his analysis: "We speculate that at the Kannabi Bridge, Obito Uchiha was actually saved by Madara Uchiha."
"This explains why he joined forces with Madara Uchiha to launch the Fourth Shinobi World War."
"He was probably bewitched by Madara Uchiha and became an accomplice in the war."
Tobirama hesitated for a few seconds, about to say something.
The conference room door was suddenly pushed open.
The guards stationed nearby saw the approaching person from afar, hesitated for a moment, but still did not step forward to stop them.
After all, the other party is the future sixth generation, and is currently being groomed as a confidant by the second generation.
"Kakashi?" Tobirama's red pupils flashed with a cold light. "Why...?"
"Second Hokage, please don't issue a kill order against Obito Uchiha. I beg you."
He bowed directly to the second-generation leader at a 90-degree angle.
His tone and actions were sincere, but many of the high-ranking officials present frowned.
"What nonsense are you talking about? That guy started the Fourth Shinobi World War alongside Madara Uchiha! His crimes are unforgivable!"
Mitomon Homura immediately stood up and angrily rebuked him.
“That’s right. Even if you have a secret relationship with him, you can’t protect such an enemy.”
Kakashi took a deep breath, his fingertips trembling slightly at his waist, cold sweat trickling down his face, yet he still stubbornly stared at the Second Hokage.
"I will do my best to find him and persuade him to return to Konoha and give up associating with Uchiha Madara."
"Until then, please do not issue any arrest warrants for Obito Uchiha."
Indeed, love can be harmful. This was true for Madara Uchiha and his brother back then, and it is also true for Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake now.
(Don't get me wrong, this is about friendship.)
"Are you sure?" Tobirama sighed. "I can overlook things that haven't happened yet, but if he's determined to stand with Madara Uchiha, he couldn't have been completely inactive during the years he disappeared."
"The culprit behind the Nine-Tails' rampage was a one-eyed Uchiha, who was also masked."
He casually tossed down a bomb, watching as Kakashi's pupils contracted violently, shocked and bewildered.
"No, impossible..." Kakashi's breathing became slightly rapid.
It couldn't be Obito; those are his teacher and his wife.
They were so... to Obito...
He suddenly froze, remembering something he had forgotten.
Chapter 26 Naruto's Double Standards Online
When he received the Fourth Hokage's order to protect his master's wife, he went to the memorial stone to visit Rin and Obito.
He shared the good news at their graves.
The teacher's child is about to be born. If they could be born in such a peaceful era, then...
He said it himself.
The news that the teacher's wife is pregnant.
And the teacher's wife is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
On the night the teacher's wife gave birth, she was attacked by a mysterious masked man who released the Nine-Tailed Fox.
The teacher and his wife are dead.
That mysterious person... is very likely Obito.
And he was an accomplice.
Kakashi suddenly felt dizzy, his mind went blank, and cold sweat poured out from every pore of his body.
"Calm down, Kakashi! Breathe!" Tsunade stepped forward and patted his back to help him breathe.
Tobirama waved his hand, signaling the people in the meeting room to leave, leaving only a few close friends and family members behind.
"Heh heh... Heh heh..." Dizziness and suffocation struck at the same time. Kakashi felt as if he were sinking into dark water, with no one to save him and no one to rely on.
The sound of Kakashi panting heavily made Jiraiya and Tsunade extremely anxious. "Calm down! Kakashi!"
The shouts seemed to be very, very far away, and could not reach Kakashi's ears at all; he could only hear the sound of water dripping.
It felt like rain standing in front of the memorial one day, or like tap water flowing from an open faucet, constantly washing over hands stained with blood.
Obito, Rin...
The figures of the boy and girl flickered in and out of existence, both illusory and real, gradually receding from him, their faces bearing warm smiles.
The smile shattered the next second, as fragile as glass.
They were questioning him: "Why did you kill me?"
Why wasn't the agreement kept?
Beside the boy and girl stood a red-haired woman, Kushina's teacher's wife. She was covered in blood, and her hand, wrapped in a sticky red substance, reached out to him: "Why did you tell anyone I was about to give birth?"
Lin: "Why?"
Obito: "Why?"
Kushina: "Why?"
"Because you're a piece of trash!"
"Yes, because you are..."
"Hey, Kakashi-sensei!" A lively voice suddenly rang out, gradually fading away the bloody questions.
Its cat-whiskered cheeks shone brightly in the sunlight, and its eyes, a dazzling sky blue, sparkled like sapphires.
The student Naruto pounced on him.
Instead of the expected coquettish voice, it was a pair of scarlet eyes that had transformed into beastly pupils: "It's all your fault! Kakashi-sensei! It's all your fault that I don't have parents! It's all your fault!"
"The Nine-Tails' rampage might be..."
"A war criminal who slaughtered his clan along with Itachi."
Who is it? Who is the culprit behind the Nine-Tails' rampage? Who is the war criminal who massacred the clan? Uchiha Obito?!
Who is Obito Uchiha?!
He's a crybaby who's always late and loves to whine, but he's also a kind-hearted boy who often helps old ladies.
He is a cheerful and optimistic pure ninja who dreams of becoming Hokage, and the hero who saved him.
Hero...war criminal...
The scene before her eyes shattered into pieces, leaving only a ground covered with withered petals—Lin's scattered lilies, some trampled into the mud, others blown to some unknown wilderness, lying silently to themselves.
"Obito!"
Kakashi suddenly woke up from his dream and opened his eyes abruptly on the hospital bed, only to see a blank white expanse.
"It's a hospital..."
"Ah, Kakashi-sensei! You're finally awake!" Naruto pushed the door open roughly, rushed in, and pounced on the bedside.
"Sakura said you were hospitalized, it scared us to death!" He waved his cat-paw-like fist to express his dissatisfaction, but then lovingly offered him a bowl of hot ramen.
"Ta-da! This is my favorite miso ramen! How about it? I specially asked Uncle Ichiraku to pack this for me. Doesn't the smell make you feel better right away?!"
"Idiot, ramen won't cure anything," Sasuke said coldly, hands in his pockets.
Sakura gave Naruto a sharp tap on the head, then, hands on her hips, scolded him like a shrew, "You just want to eat it yourself, don't you!"
"I told you a long time ago that Kakashi-sensei can't eat greasy food right now. I've prepared some porridge, so get out of my way!"
"So fierce QAQ" Naruto reluctantly took his huge bowl of ramen, turning his grief into appetite, and slurped the ramen down his throat in a few bites.
The three of them came in and made a ruckus, completely dispelling the cold atmosphere in the ward.
"Thank you so much for coming all this way to see me," he said. Although he had no appetite, he didn't disappoint his disciples and quickly finished the porridge.
Today, Kakashi-sensei's true colors were not revealed.
