[with card] Enemy of the World

[-]. In front of the Memorial Monument

After returning from the Hokage Tower, Obito did not see Lu Jing.He searched around at home, and finally found a note on his bedroom door: I went to the third training ground for a walk and will be back soon.

Obito stared at the spot for a few seconds, then ran out the door.

After 15 minutes, as expected, he found Lu Jing at the expected position.The silver-haired reincarnated man was standing in front of the memorial monument, with his hands in his pockets and his shoulders slightly bent.He was motionless, like a statue that had been placed there in the first place, as if staring at a certain name in a daze, and seemed to be lost in thought on his own.

"Deer——" Obito came to him, and was about to say hello to him, when he caught a glimpse of a name recently engraved on the bottom of the tablet from the corner of his eye, his voice suddenly became stuck in his throat, and he could no longer utter half a sound up.

はたけカカシ.

There was a sudden stabbing pain in my heart.Obito shut his mouth and stood silently beside Lu Jing.

On the third day after being taken away by the kite, Konoha held a funeral for Kakashi, and Obito was on his way to Yinnin Village at that time.Because there is no body, there is no way to build a grave and erect a monument, so all we can do is to engrave his name on the memorial monument.After Obito returned from Otonin Village, although he brought back the news that Kakashi might still be alive, it was only the words of Orochimaru's family after all. Out of caution, Minato did not announce it to the public, nor did he immediately modify the memorial monument.But I never thought about it, but now there is no need for that.

Withdrawing his gaze from the memorial monument, Obito glanced at the man beside him.What is he thinking?Did you think of yourself?In the world that belonged to him, the name of another Kakashi Hatake had probably already been engraved on this monument, right?

Or did he visit here frequently during the days when he was still alive, remembering his old friends?

"Uh... Obito? I'm sorry." At this moment, Lu Jing woke up from his contemplation, and looked at him apologetically, "I didn't notice you coming."

"Did you... used to come here often to miss us?" Obito asked tentatively.

Through Anbu's mask, he couldn't see Lu Jing's expression, but the latter seemed to be taken aback for a moment. "Well," the reincarnated man replied after regaining his senses, "but most of the time I just came to see Obito. Minato-sensei, Kushina and Lin have tombs to sweep, father..." He suddenly stopped, abruptly Changed his words, "Only Obito's body was not found, so I can only come here to pay tribute to him."

When he said this, his tone was slightly strange, but Obito didn't hear it; he was thinking about the father-son conversation he overheard last night.

A sinner who has caused great loss to the village—if Shuo Mao committed suicide in this capacity, it is obvious that his name will not be engraved on the memorial tablet.

"Yes...I'm sorry." He scratched his hair and said falteringly, "I treated you that way yesterday. I'm not targeting you, it's just..."

"It's okay," Lu Jing interrupted him gently, "I understand. After going through this kind of thing, it takes a while to heal and come out slowly. If my existence will cause trouble to you, in the future I can Wear a mask, or move somewhere else."

Obito hurriedly said: "No! You don't need to wear a mask! I'll take care of everything myself. And..." He lowered his eyes and looked at the name again, "I think Kakashi should hope so too. "

"If there's anything I can do to help, just say so."

"Thank you, I will. One more thing... I accidentally overheard your conversation with Mr. Shomo last night."

The deer froze when he heard the words, his hunchbacked shoulders tensed instantly.After a while, he relaxed again and sighed. "It was you who made the noise outside at that time."

"Ah, you don't need to apologize anymore." Seeing what Obito wanted to say, he waved his hand, "It's okay. Anyway, after my father confirmed this matter, it is impossible not to tell anyone. Now it is probably Minato-sensei. Now you know."

"Indeed." Obito nodded, "And today Minato-sensei told me that I can tell you the story of the mission in Yuyin Village..." Halfway through the words, he suddenly realized that what he said was equivalent to taking the truth Konoha had reservations about Lu Jing before, but suddenly her voice stopped abruptly, and a bit of embarrassment appeared on her face.

"Really?" Lu Jing said naturally, as if he didn't understand the implication at all, "then please tell me. I didn't hear much information from my father last night. I I would also like to know more specific details.”

"Especially... about the kite."

--------

The two sat down in front of the memorial tablet.Obito began to tell the ins and outs from when they sneaked into Yuyin Village; during this time, Lu Jing had been quiet, but he still occasionally hummed and asked him what happened after that.But after Obito talked about Sakumo's saying that if Kakashi was conscious, even if he hit his sword and killed himself, he would not be a chess piece for Kite, and after Kite's reaction after hearing it, he suddenly fell silent.

"Wait." When Tobi said that there was once a child who regarded Sakumo as a hero, he suddenly interrupted Obito's narration. "He... really said that?"

When he asked this sentence, there seemed to be an imperceptible tremor in his voice.

"Of course, I have a good memory," said Obito.He seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and leaned towards Lu Jing, "Do you have any guesses about his identity? To be so familiar with Mr. Shuo Mao, this person must have been very close to your father and son in the past. Any suspects?"

This time Lu Jing was silent for a long time.It wasn't until Obito wanted to lift his mask to see if he was asleep that he finally said, "That's not necessarily the case. Back then, there was a lot of trouble about my father in Konoha, and almost everyone in the village Everyone has heard of it. But..."

"But what?"

Lu Jing shook his head, "No, it's nothing. Having said that, I would also like to ask you, you and Yuan have fought the most times, do you have any ideas about his real body?"

Obito frowned, thoughtfully: "So, actually, I've always felt that from the first time we met, he was targeting me a bit. He knew my name from the very beginning and asked me a bunch of strange questions , Said that I am very different from him, and always laughed at me for being too naive and not understanding the cruelty of this world. He seemed to understand me very well, but if he just poached the Sharingan from the dead body from the Kannabi Bridge, He wouldn't care about me to this extent, would he? If he knew me before that mission..."

He scratched his head, looking a bit distressed. "But when I was young, I wasn't very close to the people in my family. Even I got to know Shisui and Itachi's family later. Besides, if in your world, he released Nine-Tails and killed According to the words of the teacher and Kushina, then he is probably not too young? He should be a very strong ninja who can control the Nine Tails. Could it be the leader of the Fuyue clan?" He laughed twice, but his eyes flickered, "Why? possible."

Hearing Obito's answer, Lu Jing seemed a little disappointed, but he seemed relieved.He looked at the memorial tablet again. "No, Tobi cannot be the patriarch of Fuyue. As for who he is, I'm afraid we can only wait until the next encounter with him, and then find a way to get more information. It's useless to make unfounded guesses now... …will just mess with itself.”

"Maybe, this opportunity will come soon."

"Ok?"

Obito briefly described the contents of the previous emergency meeting.Lu nodded after hearing the shock: "It would be the best to invite Mr. Tsunade back to help. With Mr. Haiyi's ability, as long as he can temporarily restrain the movement of the kite, he must be able to successfully invade his brain. But The most important thing is Kushina's safety, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has left the village, this is the best time for Akatsuki to strike."

"Don't worry, Sakumo-san and I are still here." Obito said firmly, "We will definitely protect Kushina!"

"Haha... Of course I believe in your strength."

Obito seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and comforted him: "You don't have to worry. Now..." He gritted his teeth and decided to speak up, "Anyway, now Minato-sensei has dispelled his doubts about you. The day when you go to the front is not far away. At that time, you can face Kite in person and reveal his true colors!"

"Yeah." Lu Jing bent his eyes behind the mask and smiled at him.

"Okay..." Obito stood up, patted the grass leaves and dust on his pants, and stretched again, "It's getting late, let's go back!"

"Go back by yourself first, Daitu." Lu Jing stood up after him, but said, "I want to stay here a little longer."

"I'm leaving?"

"Go."

The black-haired Uchiha left.Lu Jing watched his figure disappear at the end of the training ground, then turned his gaze away and looked at the memorial monument again.

But this time, what he was looking at was no longer his own name.

The gaze moved from bottom to top, and the dead man from another world bent down and stretched out his hand; his fingertips stopped suddenly at a distance of less than half an inch from the surface of the stone, hanging in a familiar position, but there was a completely unfamiliar person engraved there. name.

—I think White Fang is a hero.

——Indeed, in the world of ninjas, those who do not follow the rules are trash, but those who abandon their companions are even more trash among trash!

No... that's not possible.

There was a slight creaking sound from the friction of the leather, and the deer clenched its hands into fists in shock.He straightened up, stretched his shoulders, and took a deep breath; then, as if trying to push away all doubts, he let out a long breath.

After a simple seal, the silver-haired Anbe's figure disappeared into the swirling leaves.

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

The next day.

Tsunade's news came back through the slug.She has agreed to participate in the Six Tails Seal mission as a foreign aid. Due to time constraints, it is too late to return to Konoha, so she will wait for others at the border port between Water and Fire.Minato immediately decided that the rest of the team would set off early the next morning, escorted by Jiraiya to the port, and meet Tsunade.

In Naruto's house, Kushina was arranging the ninja tools that covered the bed.

13 years ago, after the end of the Third Ninja World War, Minato was quickly appointed as the Fourth Hokage.As the dual identity of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Hokage's Wife, Kushina has rarely left Konoha these years, and has been serving as a special consultant for the sealing class and enchantment class, and at the same time put a lot of energy into sorting out the Uzumaki The work on the remains of the hidden village.

But this does not mean that she has lost the ability to fight on the front line.A really good ninja should be able to jump into battle at any time - and Blood Chili never loses to anyone.

"Kunai, Shuriken, Detonating Talisman, Scroll..." Kushina was counting the number of each ninja tool when suddenly there was the sound of trotting behind him.Before she could turn around, someone hugged her from behind, with two small hands tightly wrapped around her waist.

"What's the matter?" Her expression softened, and she patted her son's hand reassuringly.

"Mom," Naruto's voice sounded muffled, his face buried in her jonin vest. "Are you going out on a mission?"

"Yeah, I'm going to visit the Land of Water."

"...Will it be dangerous?"

Kushina was stunned: "Naruto, did you hear what someone said?"

"..." Naruto didn't answer, he sniffed, rubbing his furry head against her back,

At the funeral half a month ago, the image of his son crying flashed in Jiu Xinna's mind.This child is like her, who has a keen intuition like a wild beast since she was a child; Kakashi died unexpectedly, the village was repeatedly under martial law, and his father was busy until late at night... Everything that happened recently is not optimistic, and now he has never traveled far. His mother is also going to the battlefield, which must have made him feel worried and scared.

"Naruto." She turned around and squatted down, looking at her son at the same level.Naruto's eyes were watery, probably because he felt ashamed to cry at such an age, so he was blushing with embarrassment.Kushina touched his face and spoke earnestly. "No ninja's job is dangerous, but it's not what ninjas do if they hold back because they're afraid of danger. Right?"

"Yeah!" Naruto wiped his eyes vigorously and nodded.

"That's right!" Kushina gave him an encouraging smile, "This is the little man who will become Hokage in the future!"

Hearing his mother mention his dream, Naruto immediately cheered up, proudly sticking out his small breasts. "Of course! Mother, don't worry, I will listen to my father's words and practice hard! I want to grow up quickly, become stronger, and become an independent ninja, so that I can go out to do missions with my mother in the future and protect you personally! "

Seeing his son's confident appearance, Kushina couldn't help feeling a little absent-minded.She remembered the mission report of Lu Jing that Minato had shown her before; it mentioned that her child in another world grew up alone, lonely but strong, brave and persistent.After experiencing a lot of pain, she is still cheerful and kind, and has been working hard to realize her dream and gain more people's recognition.

Suddenly filled with emotion, she opened her arms and embraced Naruto lovingly. "Okay, I'll wait for you to grow up." Let go of him again, and look at him seriously, "Don't forget, I still have to wait to see you take over Hokage's hat from Minato. So don't worry, I'll definitely come back safely, huh?"

"Well, Mom, I'm waiting for you too!" Naruto nodded heavily.After a pause, he asked again, "Brother Daitu, is he also going to the Land of Water?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Then I'll go say goodbye to him too, and take a look at Brother Lu Jing by the way."

Hearing him mentioning Lu Jing, Kushina was slightly startled, and what Minato told her last night came to mind.After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Naruto, do you like Lu Jing?"

Naruto puffed up his cheeks: "I didn't like it at first, I thought he took Kakashi's brother's place... But Obito told me that he is also Kakashi's brother. And he was very kind to me and very patient, He will play with me, unlike Dad and Brother Obito who are always busy." He suddenly pouted while talking, "But he seems to like bastard Sasuke more, teach him Chidori but not me, hum! "

Attached at the end of the report, a whole dense text about the development process and pros and cons of the spiral shuriken emerged in Kushina's mind.Even if the report is written in a businesslike tone, it is still not difficult to see between the lines, when describing Naruto's growth experience, Lu Jing's tone reveals the relief and pride.If the autobiography in the scroll is true, then there is no doubt that he must love Naruto very much.

Thinking of this, Kushina's heart softened.Although she understands that Fugaku's suspicion is well-founded, and Minato's concerns are definitely not superstitious, she still decides to trust her intuition as a woman.So he touched Naruto's head: "Then go. Remember to come back for dinner at night!"

She watched Naruto run out of the house, passed by the window and waved at herself.Kushina watched her son bounce and disappear at the end of the street. Just as she was about to go back to continue the previous tidying up, she suddenly heard a deep voice in her mind: "Such a little devil is also worthy of being my Jinzhuri? Jiuxin Nai, do you really believe the nonsense of that reincarnated person?"

Jiu Xinna put his hands on his hips: "My son will definitely be the most handsome and powerful ninja when he grows up. Do you have an opinion? And I don't think Lu Jing's words are all nonsense."

"Humph."

"However, it's really strange that you would take the initiative to talk to me. Are you nervous? Akatsuki grabbed all your companions one by one."

"Those guys are not my companions!" Kyuubi growled. "Is there any difference between being imprisoned by you and being imprisoned by Akatsuki? It's just going from one cage to another. Protecting Six Tails... Ha, what do you say?" It sounds nice, but it’s actually just that you don’t want your weapons to be snatched away by others. Don’t whitewash your selfish thoughts!”

There was unabashed sarcasm and disgust in its tone.Kushina is not surprised; she has been with Kyuubi for more than 30 years, and she knows how much it hates and distrusts humans.When she was young, she tried to communicate with it, hoping that the two sides could coexist peacefully within a limited range, but after being rejected many times, she has basically given up on this plan now.

"I told you a long time ago," she walked back to the bed and packed up the ninja tools one by one, "whether you like it or not, our fate has long been bound together. If you are taken away, I You will die; Akatsuki is so cruel to Jinchuriki, it is conceivable that he will not be kind to tailed beasts, and your situation will only be worse than now. So, although I don’t like you very much, but for the sake of common interests, I advise you to cooperate with me."

"..."

"Did you hear that, Nine Tails?"

The beast inside her let out a sullen growl, and then everything was quiet again.

……

The next afternoon, Yuyin Village.

Kite stood on the terrace at the top of the tower.Raindrops fell from the sky, passed through his body without hindrance, and wet the ground.Four figures in red clouds and black robes stood behind him, and the bell on the bamboo hat swayed and made a crisp sound.

The wind blew up the white paper tassels hanging from the edge of one of the bamboo hats, revealing a cold and lifeless face with different-colored pupils staring blankly ahead.

"Let's go," Akatsuki's leader ordered, "to the land of water."

"The target is... Six Tails and Nine Tails."
