[with card] Enemy of the World

Chapter 10 Long time no see

Ten, long time no see

Sakumo sat on a chair in the backyard of Hatake's old house in a daze.His eyes moved blankly, and he slowly scanned the surroundings with his dry eyes, as if Kakashi could be seen everywhere in the courtyard.

Kakashi was standing under the big tree next to the back door.Every year on his son's birthday, Shuo Mao would take him to this big tree to compare his height, and draw a line on the trunk with kunai against the top of his head.The traces moved up year by year, but Kakashi was always dissatisfied, and kept muttering that he was a little shorter than Obito.Until the age of 19, although he still couldn't surpass Obito, he was on the same side as Sakumo anyway, so he was temporarily satisfied.

Kakashi was running on the small training ground.From the age of five, as long as he was in Konoha, Kakashire's daily swordsmanship practice was an immovable homework.He got up earlier than Shuo Mao. When both of them were at home, as soon as Shuo Mao opened the curtains, he would be able to see his son sweating profusely below. The blade shone brightly in the morning sun.

Kakashi was sitting by the pond in the corner.Both father and son love to eat fish, and they often go fishing in the small river outside Konoha. Sometimes the harvest is very good, and there are still some leftovers after giving away the spoils, so they are raised in this pond.During Kakashi's childhood, he caught up with two Ninja World Wars in succession. As Konoha's main force, Sakumo was not at home for a long time, so he learned to live independently very early.At that time, every time Shuo Mao retreated from the front line for a short time, he embarked on the road home with pain and exhaustion. The biggest motivation that supported him day and night was a lamp kept at home, hot fish on the table, and The son's bright smile.

But now all that is gone.Looking at the scenery, Sakumo felt that the tree, the pond, and the training ground all withered, dried up, and died together with Kakashi's departure.Sitting here, his eyes were full of desolation; but he dared not go into the house, there were more shadows of the dead wandering in the old house, the books he read last night were still on the table, and the laundry was still hanging on the balcony. There are two sauries left in the refrigerator that I didn't have time to cook.When he looked at those things, he often lost his mind, as if he saw a familiar figure walking over, putting everything together neatly.

This sense of right and wrong almost drove him crazy.Sakumo knew that he shouldn't be like this. He has been a ninja for decades, and he should have understood that in this profession, only one in ten can die. He has already made up his mind to dedicate his life to the village at any time.But he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, so suddenly, his son walked in front of him.

Konoha Baiya took a deep breath trembling, and buried his face in his hands.

There was dead silence all around.

"Uh...Senior Shuo Mao, I'm sorry. Because I called the door for a long time and no one answered...It's urgent, so I came in without authorization." The footsteps came from far to near, and a young voice sounded above his head.It's Kakashi's same period, what's it called, Shiranui Genma?

He seems to have been chosen recently to be the guard of the Watergate...

The sadness and decadence were swept away in an instant, Shuo Mao suddenly raised his head and stood up. "Is the fourth generation looking for me? Could it be... there is already news of Akatsuki?"

Xuanjian took a step back in shock from the frightening cold light in his eyes, and hurriedly said, "It's Hokage-sama looking for you, but it's not because of Akatsuki. It's Obito, he's coming back soon."

"...That's right." Shuo Mao thought that he would have a chance to avenge his son so soon, but he nodded, "It's good that he returns safely."

"And he brought some news." Genma added, "One of them is... Kakashi is probably still alive."

The father, who had been immersed in the pain of losing his son for several days, widened his eyes in astonishment.After returning to his senses for a while, he didn't care about his reserve, and stepped forward and pressed the young man's shoulder: "Is it true, Mr. Xuanjian? How did he know?"

"The detailed situation seems a bit complicated, and the fourth generation did not explain everything to me. Moreover, the news that Obito brought back seems to be not the only one thing." Genma replied.

"In short, Fourth Generation, please go to the Hokage Tower at three o'clock in the afternoon, and... be mentally prepared."

------------

"Obito." Kakashi sighed, "We are almost at Konoha. How long are you going to be angry with me?"

"Hmph." The black-haired Uchiha turned his head away, pointing the back of his head at him.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you about this left eye and the world over there, but Minato-sensei and Rin must also ask about the same thing." Kakashi said helplessly, "Instead of seeing Wouldn't it be better for them to waste some more time and explain it to all of you?"

Obito squinted at him.They're all made up stories anyway, right?The few days we have been on the road are enough for you to elaborate a set of fake resumes without loopholes.

These few words swirled around his mouth, but he didn't say it in the end, and swallowed it again.

In fact, Obito wasn't really angry with Kakashi along the way.He had been watching his traveling companion; this reincarnation was more mature, smoother, and more unpredictable than the Kakashi Obito had known.He kept secret about his own experience, and he kept his words tight. Whenever Obito tried to inquire about his past, the topic would always be diverted by him in the end and transferred to other places; he even reversed from Obito's mouth A lot of news came out of it.After coming and going, Obito also became vigilant, simply pretending to be angry, not talking too much with Kakashi, and only paying attention to each other's every move in secret.

Gradually, Obito found that when Kakashi was alone and quiet, he seemed to be able to show a relatively real side—for example, as they got closer to Konoha, Kakashi became more anxious. obvious.In fact, he hides it very well. This experienced ninja strictly manages every part of his body, and his subtle expressions and movements are firmly controlled by him, but they still cannot escape Obito's eyes.

No matter which world he comes from, whether he is alive or dead, he is still Hatake Kakashi after all.And when it comes to the person who knows Kakashi best in the world, Obito feels that he can even compete with Sakumo in some respects.

As for what Kakashi is worried about, after a few days of contact, Obito has faintly made his own judgment.Then it just needs to be verified.

The two walked along the road leading to the village.Kakashi was wearing a soiled cloak, and the hood was pulled down low to cover his face, so as not to let people see that he was a dirty body.Gradually, huge double-leaf wooden doors slowly rise from the end of the horizon, and the wall extends to both sides, as if endlessly; Konoha is not far ahead.

"Wow..." With his excellent eyesight, Obito saw a small figure standing by the door at a glance, and couldn't help grinning, revealing a bitter expression. "Oops, it's Lin...she has to settle accounts with me."

Kakashi next to him raised his head sharply.When he saw Lin, his steady footsteps suddenly stopped slightly, and Obito caught him in his eyes.

The two moved closer.Lin also saw them at this time, and rushed over aggressively.Still far away, Obito and Kakashi heard her shout angrily: "Obito Uchiha! How dare you hypnotize me back then!"

"It's over, it's over, it's over!" Obito shrank his neck, "This time I really pissed her off!"

Kakashi chuckled: "I've never seen Lynn so angry."

"To be honest, I haven't seen it either."

While speaking, Lin had already walked in front of them quickly.She stretched out an angry finger, poked Obito's chest, and scolded her head and face: "It's a good thing that you are still a mediocrity! Do you know that it is against the regulations to leave the village without permission? It takes seven or eight days to leave, no You don’t know how worried we are if we don’t send any news about whereabouts? If Master Jiraiya hadn’t persuaded Mr. Minato to stay in the village and let him do the searching, the teacher would have almost gone out to find you himself! And you I also went to that Orochimaru—" She suddenly realized something when she said this, and stopped her voice suddenly; her eyes drifted to Kakashi, and she hesitated to speak.

Kakashi raised his hand - Obito noticed that his hand was shaking slightly - and lifted the hood up, revealing his face.He looked at the brown-haired Ninja who opened her eyes in amazement when he saw the strange-colored pupils with dark whites, and his expression seemed to be both pleasant and painful, relieved and regretful for a moment.But before Obito could distinguish those emotions one by one, they were all covered under the curved crescent eyes.

"Hello, Lin." The reincarnated said gently, "Please give me your advice while I stay in this world."

Lin stared at him blankly, and didn't come back to her senses for a while; Obito pushed her lightly, and she just woke up like a dream. "You... hello! Please...please give me more advice." After saying this, she seemed to feel that she was acting too unfamiliar, so she smiled again and added: "I heard that Minato-sensei said something about you. I'm sorry to involve you in this matter."

"You're welcome." Kakashi also smiled back, "As long as I can help, I'll be very happy. Rather, I'm going to disturb you for a while now."

"Uh...thank you. You don't have to be polite." He kept using such a polite attitude to keep the distance between the two parties. For a while, Lin didn't know how to continue the topic, so she had to answer embarrassingly with social words.

One of the speculations has been confirmed, Obito thought.He cleared his throat and broke the silence: "Let's go to Hokage Tower quickly, isn't Master Minato still waiting?"

"Oh, yes! Come with me." Lin said, turning around and walking the way she came.After walking a few steps, he turned his head and glared at Obito again: "Our business is not over yet, don't just get away with it like this!"

The three came to the gate.Lin held Hokage's warrant, so Kakashi was not stopped for questioning and entered the village smoothly.Walking on the main road leading to the Hokage Tower, Obito noticed that Kakashi was quietly looking around, so he asked, "It's about the same as your side?"

Kakashi hesitated for a moment: "Probably."

"……perhaps?"

"When I... left there, = we were still fighting the enemy. The village was severely damaged... Many comrades died."

Obito was startled, his expression became serious; even Lin who was walking in front looked back. "That guy named Penn?"

"Yeah." Kakashi said in a low voice, "So I absolutely can't let Tobi bring the same disaster to this world... No matter what, I must stop him."

Obito instinctively felt that there was something in his words, but the silver-haired reincarnator made it clear that he didn't want to talk more, so he couldn't ask any more.They entered the Hokage Tower, went upstairs, and walked along the circular corridor to the door of the office. Lin raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in." There was a quick reply from inside.

"Wait, Lin." Lin was about to open the door, but was stopped by Obito.He gave her a look, pulled her aside, and said to Kakashi, "Come on?"

Kakashi looked at Obito in surprise, but didn't refuse.He reached out, put his hand on the doorknob, and curled his fingers as cautiously as holding a ninja sword; he paused briefly, then pressed down on the handle, and pushed the door open.

Minato was standing in front of the window looking out, he must have spotted the three of them just now.He turned around and saw the person who walked in first was taken aback for a moment, then he reacted and said with a smile: "You are Kakashi from another world, right? Nice to meet you."

Kakashi was silent.After a while, he took off his hood, looked up at Minato, and said in a respectful tone, "Yes. It's great to see you, Lord Fourth."

Hearing what he called himself, Minato slightly opened his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth faded.But he didn't say anything, just nodded: "Obito briefly explained your origin in the report, and said that you have important information about Akatsuki, and experience in using Kaleidoscope Sharingan to fight." His eyes fell on Kakashi. Cassie paused slightly on the scar on her left eye, and quickly retracted it.

"Yes." Kakashi straightened his body, "As long as it is useful, I will do my best. Please give me an order."

Minato's smile finally disappeared completely.He frowned, looking a little sad; for a moment he seemed to want to put aside this businesslike attitude temporarily, and face Kakashi with a different identity from Hokage, but he hesitated for a moment, but quickly gave up up.In the end, I just waved my hand with a wry smile: "You don't have to be so serious. Besides, although I really want to get to the point as soon as possible, the most important thing right now is to consider how to settle—"

"Tuk tuk tuk", he was talking when someone knocked on the door again.

"Oh, he's here." Minato's eyes lit up, and he looked at the clock hanging on the wall. "Come in!"

The door was pushed open for the second time, followed by a tired voice. "Fourth generation, you are looking for me—"

Sakumo's voice stopped abruptly when he saw the situation in the room.At the same time, Kakashi, who was already standing at attention, suddenly stiffened all over his body; his hand with folded fingers on his side trembled violently, opened slightly and then quickly clenched into a fist.He half opened his mouth, his eyes were wide open like never before, and his eyes wandered up and down the opposite window.He looked caught off guard, dazed, and completely incapable of concealing himself.

If it wasn't for his filthy body, other people in the room would have seen the cold sweat dripping from his forehead, heaving chest, and heard his rapid breathing and beating heartbeat.

Seeing this, Obito's heart couldn't help but sink, and he thought to himself: Sure enough.

All the way from Otonin Village, although Kakashi accidentally told him a lot, he deliberately avoided any topic about Sakumo.He made up his mind that if Kakashi asked about his father, he would certainly tell the truth, but if the other party didn't ask, he would pretend that this person didn't exist; and Kakashi had asked in the past few days Tarin, Minato, Kushina, and even the Uchiha clan, but they kept silent about Sakumo.This can't help but give Obito a bad feeling, but he still takes some luck, hoping that the truth will not be as bad as he imagined.

But now, seeing Kakashi's chaotic appearance, Obito can no longer convince himself with optimistic guesses.And when it came to Kakashi's attitude when he saw Lin and Minato before...he felt a heavy stone fell on his heart.

The office was eerily quiet, hardly even the sound of breathing could be heard.Kakashi still stood there motionless, as if his soul had abandoned this false body; Sakumo stood blankly at the door, looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar figure in shock, opening and closing his mouth several times, But he couldn't even utter a single word.

After a long time, Kakashi finally turned around slowly, slowly.

Looking at each other, Shuo Mao gasped. "Who are you……"

"Long time no see, father—" Kakashi murmured.Before he could say the next word, he stopped suddenly and closed his eyes forcefully.

When those eyes opened again, the deep pain that had flashed through before had disappeared without a trace.

"...I'm sorry. It's the first time we meet, Mr. Shuo Mao."

------------

Yuyin Village, the lowest floor of Akatsuki base, Yuan's room.

The only bed in the house was occupied by a captive brought back a few days earlier.The silver-haired Anbu was bare-chested, with a thick bandage wrapped around his chest, and a quilt covering his waist.His hands were outside, and a pair of shackles were placed on his wrists. The chain in the middle was no more than [-] centimeters long.

He lay there with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.His face was still pale, but he was no longer as bloodless as before.

The space in front of the bed twisted quietly, and the figure of Kite emerged from it.He stood there for a moment, then walked over lightly, and sat down carefully by the bed.

Obito Uchiha stared at Hatake Kakashi in this world.

The battle by the river came to his mind.In all fairness, he didn't intend to really kill Obito at that time, he just wanted to teach his young self a lesson.He asked Kisame to lure Itachi and Kakashi away in advance. Although the black stick failed to kill Shisui directly, it also seriously injured him and lost his ability to move.He originally thought that everything was under his control, but he never knew that Kakashi had learned the technique of flying thunder god.

The empty door opened wide and rushed towards him.The heart was facing the black stick, because this was the only way to reciprocate Leiqie and stab into his heart.

He wanted to hide then.He also basically succeeded. The black stick deviated from a very slight angle. Although it still hurt Kakashi's heart, fortunately, he avoided the most deadly part; On the right side of the body, it is not painful to him, and can be repaired at any time.

But the horror that overflowed at that moment still remained in his chest, and it still scares him to this day.However, at the same time, it gave him a subtle feeling that he couldn't explain clearly.

That's right.That's how it should be.

This was what he thought Kakashi would look like when he grew up.Gentle and decisive, arrogant and powerful, he can always protect the people he wants to protect.Even because he had never experienced his father's tragedy, he was even more energetic and dazzling than he had imagined.

It's not the trash who can only speak beautiful words forever, can't protect his companions, can't keep his promises, and can only empty and regret in front of the memorial monument.

Tobi looked at the face in front of her, tracing Kakashi's eyebrows, nose, and lips with her eyes.He was satisfied with this face, but somehow he always felt that something was missing; as if there should be a scar on the left eye...

Thinking like this, he stretched out his hand out of nowhere to reach out to his prisoner, as if he wanted to use his fingertips to draw a non-existent mark on the opponent's left eyelid——

Snapped!

With the rattle of the chain, the hand was suddenly slapped aside.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Kite's hand was still hanging in the air, maintaining the posture of being slapped away.Below, Kakashi opened his eyes and was staring at him coldly.
