Looking at him who was completely oblivious to all the changes, Kakashi thought, when it comes to using the Sharingan to control people's minds, the future Obito is the bad guy who is good at this... Fortunately, he didn't pass it on to Asaka.

It must be Lin's kind genes that tried their best to save the situation.

Thinking that Lin was able to survive this time, Kakashi took a deep breath and tried to make himself feel more relaxed.

It will change...

Everything will change.

Everything will definitely change.

So... Zhaolu, please...

Please wait for us in the future.

Kakashi and Obito rushed towards the target location of the mission. Knowing how powerful Uchiha Obito would be in the future, Kakashi felt a sense of security that he had not felt for a long time because he could trust his teammates to complete the mission.

On the other side, when Obito saw the cave that trapped Rin again, he was not as relaxed as Kakashi.

Lin......

It's right there.

Alive. Still alive Lin.

This time, he was no longer the clumsy and reckless boy. When facing the same scene again, the more at ease and simple Uchiha Obito felt, the more angry and disgusted he felt at his former weakness and incompetence.

The enemy that was so difficult to deal with in my memory now seems so vulnerable.

Watching them fall at his feet, Uchiha Obito looked at the girl tied up deep in the cave, and for a moment he was afraid to approach.

Is it because of homesickness? Or maybe...

Lin lowered her head quietly, deeply immersed in the illusion. Her short black hair fell down, covering her face. She looked like a teenage girl, but to a young man who was already around thirty years old, she looked so immature and young.

"At that time, I always felt that I was no different from adults... I was already very mature... It turns out that in the eyes of real adults... I was just a bunch of childish brats."

Uchiha Obito finally approached her.

He knelt on one knee in front of Lin and brushed away the black hair on one side of her cheek, revealing half of her beautiful face.

He stared at Lin's face in a daze. He hadn't seen her for a long time. They had known each other for nearly ten years, and then separated for more than ten years. The time he had been with her and not with her was almost the same.

The more I tried to recall her appearance, the more vague my impression became. The more I tried to confirm the details, the more futile it became, like trying to grasp sand in my hands. The harder I tried, the more empty it became.

Later, he used Chaolu's face to confirm Lin's appearance, but when he saw Lin again, he would think of Chaolu's face again.

But Chaolu looks much more mature than Lin.

Her face no longer had Lin's purple battle scars, and her hair was now long and no longer black. If the two stood together, Chaolu might look more like Lin's mother.

——What happened to Chaolu at this moment?

In Uchiha Obito's heart, although Rin died when he was young, her shadow has always been in his memory, accompanying him as he grew up.

He never felt that Lin looked younger than himself, and he always looked at her at eye level.

However, at this moment, the thirty-year-old body stood in front of the teenage girl, and the gap in reality made Uchiha Obito a little confused.

His feelings for Lin had never changed, but looking at her now, he suddenly realized that even if he could come back, even if they met again, even if everything started over again... they had already... missed each other completely.

If the girl survived, she might continue to like Kakashi, or maybe her teenage self would get lucky and finally make Lin change her mind, but no matter what, she would not have anything to do with him - and "Uchiha Madara".

Thinking of this, Uchiha Obito suddenly laughed at himself with relief: "If a thirty-year-old guy still has a crush on a teenage girl... that's too bad. He's an extremely disgusting pervert..."

He thought of the fireworks display. He admitted that he liked Lin. Chaolu said to him, "Although the book says that love knows no age, you are already so old..."

Her expression at that time was filled with subtle, indescribable disgust.

Indeed, the age difference between Uchiha Madara and Lin is even greater than the age difference between him and Lin now.

Now that I think about it, Chaolu wasn't disgusted and stayed away from him as if he were a pedophile... She was really lucky.

He broke Lin's illusion.

To her, the adult Uchiha Obito was a completely unfamiliar existence, and he did not wear an item like the Konoha forehead protector to prove his identity. Therefore, when Lin subconsciously became alert and prepared to attack, Uchiha Obito was not surprised.

He took the initiative to retreat to a safe distance, looked at the nervous girl and said gently: "I am here to save you. Your companions are waiting for you in front. I made an agreement with them to bring you there safely."

"who are you?"

The moment he saw his teenage self, Uchiha Obito knew that he could not become "Uchiha Obito".

why?

Why can't he awaken his future memories like Kakashi?

Why doesn't he just go back into his younger self's body, but instead uses an adult body from the future that's separate from the "Obito" identity?

Is it because he is the anchor?

Or, in order for him to have the power to change the world, he must go back in time in his prime, rather than being trapped in his own teenage body?

After all, even though his combat awareness far surpassed his past self, his physical fitness could not keep up at all.

The young Obito today has just opened his eyes.

But what would happen if there were two "Obito" at the same time?

Uchiha Obito was worried that this might bring additional burden to Chaolu.

I hope she is okay.

If you want to use the Sharingan frequently, it would be better to continue using "Uchiha Madara" instead of using the pseudonym "Afei".

Uchiha Madara's fame and deterrence were very helpful at times.

At least - he is more helpful than the unknown Uchiha Obito.

So Uchiha Obito replied: "I am Uchiha Madara."

Lin: “?!”

"My dream with Hashirama is that there will be no more wars in the world. For the definition of 'peace', we even turned against each other... But I escaped death and have been hiding in the ninja world until now, only to find that Konoha has fallen into war again and again... Humph, isn't Hashirama's proposal a complete failure? So I decided to quell this war and return to Konoha to lead the village again - according to my will."

Seeing that Lin's hostility gradually weakened and then revealed a look of doubt and hesitation, Uchiha Obito thought: I am really skilled at making up lies now.

"Come on. If I was going to hurt you, I wouldn't be here to save you."

He took the lead in walking towards the cave entrance and took the initiative to expose his back to Lin. Sure enough, this action gained some trust from Lin. She finally put away her weapon and followed him to chase Kakashi and the others.

On the way, after a long silence, Lin finally couldn't help but asked: "Are you...really Uchiha Madara?"

"Ah."

"But... you don't look that old..."

"Because I took away Hashirama Senju's cells and developed a new ninjutsu that can make me immortal."

"Eh?!"

Uchiha Obito looked back at her. Lin's eyes widened slightly. She looked so innocent. He thought she was cute, but he couldn't help but think of Chaolu.

When she was surprised, she would also widen her eyes slightly like this, as innocent as some small animal.

Lin's lovely appearance softened his heart. Seeing that she was still safe and healthy, the fact that she still existed made him want to smile. However, when he thought of Chaolu, the softness in his heart would seep out with sour pain and depression. As soon as the smile appeared, it would be overwhelmed by heavy worries and fear of the unknown.

"Lin..."

"You know my name?"

"Your companion told me." Uchiha Obito was surprised that he could lie to Lin without changing his expression - he really grew up to be a bad guy: "You know Uchiha Obito... He likes you, right?"

"what……"

"Reject him."

"what?"

"You don't like him, right? Then just reject him harshly."

Lin's tone was a little unhappy: "...This seems to be none of your business."

"No, if he is happy, I will be uncomfortable. So if he is in pain, I will be happy."

Lin's tone was obviously confused: "Why?"

why?

Yeah, why?

Because that guy knows nothing.

He didn't know how much pain he was going to experience, how lonely and long he was going to be, and how much someone had paid to save him.

He knows nothing.

Why can he get happiness so easily?

Why...

If Chaolu is not in the future, why...

He's going to lose twice?
