[with card] Enemy of the World

Chapter 13 The Leaker

[-]. Leaker

"Yuan's... right eye, is it... with soil?"

Obito blinked in confusion, and repeated Lu Jing's words.But soon he realized how much information was contained in this sentence, his eyes widened suddenly, and his mouth slowly opened.

Squeak-!

The chair receded, making a screeching sound against the floor.Obito jumped up and slapped his hands on the table, almost knocking over the porridge bowl.He leaned forward and stared at Lu Jing, with an eager expression and incoherent words: "What...what's going on? Yuan's right eye is my eye in another world? He and you... come from the same world?! Wait ...Didn't you say that I was sacrificed in the third Ninja World War? Then how could his eyes..."

Lu Jing was not surprised by his reaction. "Sit down first." He looked gloomy, but his tone was still gentle, "I will explain to you one by one."

Sure enough, when this guy explained his resume at the Hokage Tower, he secretly concealed a lot of details... Gradually recovering from the shock, Obito thought.He got a little annoyed at the mention of this episode, pulled the chair back and sat down, and said sourly: "Oh, that would be really good."

For his run, Lu Jing did not react at all.The silver-haired shinin thought for a moment, then spoke again. "Let's start with the Battle of the Kannabi Bridge. That was the first mission I performed after I was promoted to Jonin; the Minato Squad was sent to blow up the Kannabi Bridge and cut off the supply line of Iwanin. Because of the shortage of manpower, Minato-sensei needs to go to support another battlefield, so I, as the captain, will lead Obito and Rin to Kannabi Bridge first, where we plan to meet him."

Obito raised his legs: "You have said this before. And we were the same back then. My Sharingan was opened in that battle." Referring to the past, he restrained his expression a little, "It was really It was very dangerous... We were all prepared for the sacrifice of all of us at one point, but luckily Minato-sensei arrived in time, and finally successfully completed the task, and everyone returned to Konoha safely."

"... wish we could be like you."

The sadness in Lu Jing's eyes made Obito's heart tremble. "What happened?" he asked in a low voice.

Lu Jing was silent. "Actually," he finally said, "I didn't have a good relationship with Obito when I was young. We didn't like each other, and we often had arguments."

"Uh...hahaha..." Obito's expression froze, and he said with a dry smile, "This... there's nothing I can do about it. After all, I'm different from you, I'm a crane tail, and I'm always late. Kakashi also I often get very angry."

"The bigger problem is me." Lu Jing shook his head.He noticed the confusion in Obito's eyes, but did not explain further, but said: "In short, because of different ideas, we had a great disagreement when we faced an important decision."

"What is it?" Obito asked nervously.

Lu Jing lowered his eyes, avoiding his direct gaze. "Lin was taken away by Yannin. Obito advocated saving people immediately, but I... think that we should complete the task first, and then come back to find her. As for whether she will be alive by then... I can only resign myself to fate." .”

Obito froze.He knew in his heart how important the blowing up of the Kannabi Bridge was to Konoha's victory.But even so... give up Lin?Would that Kakashi...?

——Never abandon your companions, this is what I do!

The little silver-haired boy put his arms around his chest and made a declaration with great momentum.Then he raised his leg high and kicked the jar hard into the air.

Childhood memories flashed across Obito's mind.He swallowed hard. "But...but then you still went together, right? Because, because Lin didn't just..."

"No. We had a quarrel, and Obito left alone. I went back later, just in time to save him in the enemy's sneak attack. Afterwards, we fought with Rock Ninja. During the battle, I lost my left eye."

Obito looked at the scar left decades ago, speechless for a long time.

That eye...was it lost to save me?

"Later Obito awakened Sharingan and killed that Yannin." Lu Jing didn't seem to be aware of his thoughts, and continued his narration, "We rushed to the cave where Lin was, and successfully rescued her from the enemy. But just as we were about to leave, the previously defeated rock ninjutsu launched the earth escape ninjutsu, and the whole cave began to collapse, and I was hit by a falling rock in the blind corner of my sight, and I fell down."

His speaking speed was getting slower and slower, and it seemed that every word he uttered became extremely difficult. "Obito found that I was falling behind. He turned back and wanted to run out with me. But at this moment... another huge rock fell from it."

Unknowingly, Obito held his breath.He watched Lu Jing raise his eyes again, and met his gaze, his expression was full of mourning. "Obito... threw me out, but he didn't have time to escape. After the landslide stopped, we found...his entire right half of his body was crushed under the boulder."

There was a chill down his back, and Obito couldn't help shivering.His eyes moved down involuntarily, and he looked at his right hand, which he was clenched tightly. He felt a phantom pain seem to be flying up along his fingertips and toes, and hit his brain precisely.

Obito couldn't imagine how much pain his self in another world endured the moment he was hit.And what kind of mood will Lu Jing, who has witnessed all this, feel at that moment.

The only thing that is certain is that that scene will definitely become a nightmare that will never go away in his heart.

An oppressive silence spread silently in the small dining room. "So," Obito broke the silence, "he gave you that left eye at this moment."

"...Yes. Then there was a second collapse in the cave, and he was buried under it. After the war, the countries re-established a peace agreement. The Kannabi Bridge is in the country of grass. We want to excavate the battlefield and bring back the remains of our companions. His request was rejected by the Daimyo of the Country of Grass, and Obito... was left there forever." The hands on the table were tightly clenched into fists, and Lu Jing's voice was trembling, the remorse and anger revealed almost overflowing. "I didn't expect that someone would dig him out and take away his eyes..."

His fist was suddenly gripped reassuringly by another pair of hands.Lu Jing's body froze, and he suddenly looked back at Obito with a dazed expression; the latter gave him a warm and firm gaze.

"It's not your fault." The black-haired Uchiha said categorically, "Accidents on the battlefield are inevitable, and no one can predict such things. Besides, if you hadn't returned in time at that time, maybe I in another world would have He died at the hands of Iwa Shinobi."

"No, if I went to rescue Lin with him from the beginning, we could act more carefully and be prepared when encountering enemies, so as not to be passive. Then maybe my eyes wouldn't be scratched, The following series of things will not happen—"

"Do you think you are a prophet?" Obito raised his voice to interrupt Lu Jing's words. "Don't take responsibility that doesn't belong to you! He did what he thought was right, and even if he died because of it, he would not regret it. I am him, and I know it. And I also know that if I changed It is you, and you will definitely make the same choice!"

The hands holding Lu Jing increased their strength. "He saved you and gave you his eyes. I hope you will not be dragged down by the blind left eye, and live with him and become stronger. And you have lived up to his expectations. This is Isn't that enough?"

At first, Lu Jing sat there in shock, seemingly speechless; when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly felt as if he had been stabbed severely by something, and a bright and intense look of pain flashed across his face.Seeing this, Obito suddenly realized that the person opposite him was already a dead person, and he couldn't help but thump in his heart.

The technique of reincarnation is so powerful that except for a slight change in appearance, the reincarnated person walks and talks exactly like a living person. It is easy for people to forget this cruel fact.

"Uh... no, I mean..." He was racking his brains, trying to say something to remedy it, but Lu Jing had calmed down by himself, and all the emotions he had shown before were quickly suppressed.

"Thank you," he forced a smile at Obito, and withdrew his hand without a trace. "Although...you are not him, it is a great comfort to me to hear such words. Thank you very much, Obito."

"Uh... oh."

There was another silence.Then Lu Jing pushed away the chair and stood up. "It's time for me to write a report to Lord Fourth. I have to report to him about the kite in the afternoon, and I just hand in the report together. You are leaving in a week, and I will try my best to share the information I know. Record them all, I hope it will be helpful to you. Most of Akatsuki's members use unique secret techniques, and being able to understand their fighting methods can fully reduce unnecessary casualties."

In that world, many people have paid their lives for these information, perhaps including Lu Jing himself.Realizing this, Obito couldn't help feeling heavy in his heart. "Then please."

Lu Jing nodded, turned and walked outside.Just about to leave the restaurant, he stopped again and looked back at Obito, hesitant to speak.

He wanted to go to Akatsuki's base with us, to personally face the enemy from the same world as him—Obito guessed the other party's thoughts almost immediately.He opened his mouth, and said "How about I ask Minato-sensei if I can let you participate" reached his throat, but he didn't say it out loud after all.

Fourth Hokage would not agree, he knew it.Shikaji was clearly well aware of this; so he finally just rolled his eyes at Obito and smiled a genuine smile.

"I wish you all the best."

--------

Kakashi's plan to gain information on members of Akatsuki did not go well.

Although most of his injuries had healed, he was still locked in Yuan's bedroom.Movements are limited, and the owner of this room does not visit often. The three meals a day are delivered by a strange creature that looks like a human but not human.This guy called himself Bai Ze, and his brain circuit seemed to be different from that of normal people. No matter what Kakashi asked, he would answer irrelevant questions, and even asked Kakashi if he could tell him what it felt like to defecate.Kakashi patiently communicated with him a few times, but every time there was no result, and he had no choice but to give up in the end.

Now he doesn't have to worry about how to send out the information he got, because he can't get anything useful at all.

Just when Kakashi was thinking about whether to give up gathering information and focus on how to escape from here, Tobi, whom he hadn't seen for several days, suddenly appeared.

Even though he couldn't see the other person's face through the mask, Kakashi could easily feel that Tobi was in a state of agitation, which was quite different from the posture that he had been at ease before.Walking out of the space rift, he didn't look at Kakashi, but formed a series of seals quickly; with his movements, the surrounding barriers lit up with crimson light, obviously being further strengthened.

"Keep an eye on him," Yuan said, "If you notice someone approaching, please notify me immediately."

"What are you talking about?" Kakashi sat up from the bed.

His questions were quickly answered.Two humanoid objects rise slowly from the ground, one is Hakuze, waving at Kakashi; the other seems to be his kind, which looks like it is wrapped in white strips twisted into a spiral The whole body, except for a small hole in the right eye, is quite similar to the kite's mask.

"Understood, leader!" the first Bai Jue replied briskly.

"Don't say unnecessary words." Ibi warned.Finally casting a glance at Kakashi, he activated the pupil technique and left.

"What's going on?" As soon as he left, Kakashi immediately asked, "What happened?"

"A great event has happened!" Bai Jue drew an exaggerated big circle in the air with his arms, and replied cheerfully, "It's a pity that Yuan won't let us tell. But... it's not impossible to tell you behind his back .”

Kakashi frowned. "I'm just a prisoner now, I'm afraid I can't meet your outrageous conditions."

"It's a very simple transaction!" Bai Jue raised a finger, "You just need to tell me—"

"That's enough." The whirlpool next to him interrupted him, "Don't be tricky."

Bai Jue glanced at his companion, as if a little disappointed and aggrieved; but when he looked at Kakashi again, these frustrated expressions disappeared. "Since you want to know so much, Kakashi..." He dragged his voice, "Then I'll tell you."

The corner of his mouth was raised, and he showed a weird smile that was very similar to the black half of the body——

"Your Obito, your father Sakumo, and Nohara Rin and Jiraiya are rushing towards Akatsuki's base now."
