[with card] Enemy of the World

34、Nothing to say

What does it feel like to die?

Nothing at all.

People die like lights go out.The moment the vitality is cut off, the surrounding things, body, and consciousness all disappear in a flick of a finger, and the whole person changes from "existing" to "existing".An extremely rapid process.

What if this process is extended indefinitely?

Kakashi thought maybe he could answer that question.

Right now he is in such a borderline state between life and death-even though he is no longer a living person.After the talisman was buried, the filthy body was strengthened to the maximum, and turned into a weapon that only acted on fighting instinct. The consciousness was similar to when it was sealed, floating alone in the chaos, and could not feel anything including itself.

Now my body is under the control of Orochimaru, let's fight Minato-sensei and the others, he thought.Did Lin get to a safe place in time to hide?Is Kai going to use his extremely exhausting eight-door dunjia again?I hope Orochimaru didn't play tricks this time, secretly tampering with my other control contract; and Obito——

His thoughts suddenly stopped.

No.Now it's another Obito.

Kakashi sighed inwardly.From Akatsuki's standpoint, they should really close his consciousness, otherwise he would definitely not be able to resist reminding everyone in Konoha before every move.But this also relieved Kakashi, at least he didn't have to watch him being forced to confront his relatives and friends in this world, or even cause irreparable harm to them.

Or maybe Obito had already foreseen this, and that's why he took me at the beginning of the battle—as soon as this idea came up, Kakashi immediately pushed it back.

What are you thinking, he laughed at his self-indulgence in his heart.You killed Lin over there, and after you died, you came here to continue to hinder his actions. He must have hated you long ago.He should want you to suffer, how could he do such a thing for the purpose of protection?

That's fine.that's it.Because he also did not facilitate this exchange simply because he wanted to see Obito; he came to Obito with the purpose of killing Obito and dying together with Obito.

Obito doesn't have to show him an iota of kindness, because he doesn't deserve it, past or present.It is also because only in this way can he make up his mind, cut off the last trace of confusion, and launch the ghoul seal at the fastest speed after the complete control is released and before Obito reacts.

He has never been able to become a competent guardian and complete the entrustment of others, but fortunately he is very good at the opposite behavior.

Ninja Code No. 20 five, Kakashi recited silently in his heart, waiting for the moment when everything ends.Ninjas cannot reveal their feelings under any circumstances, and always put the mission first.Ninja Code No.20 Five...

A little light shines from the darkness in the distance, gradually expands, and spreads silently to this side.Similar to when Minato was liberated from the seal last time, Kakashi gradually began to recover his perception of his body and external things.It was very quiet, there was no wind, he was sitting on a soft bed, the battle in Yunlei Gorge seemed to be over; someone was standing in front of him.

The light became more and more shining, filling his entire field of vision.Kakashi blinked subconsciously, once, twice.After the second blink, the white light quietly dissipated, and his eyesight hadn't fully recovered, but he could already make out the outline of a vague figure in front of him, who was half-bending and staring at him at a close distance.

Don't look at him, don't look at him, do what you have to do!He tried his best to admonish himself in his heart, but his hands were hanging by his side like lead, and his eyes were even more stubbornly fixed on the other person, refusing to leave for a moment——

Then Kakashi saw Obito.His Obito, the older Obito, caused turmoil in this world, Obito who wanted to continue his evil deeds that he failed to accomplish in the original time and space.

Because he lost his left eye, leaving half of his face scarred, he was looking at his Obito cautiously and expectantly.

This man who invaded the Five Kingdoms, hunted tailed beasts, and was regarded as public enemy number one by the entire Ninja world looked at him like a child who had received a long-awaited gift.This look is enough for Kakashi to easily cross the gap of 18 years. From the eyebrows and eyes that have been honed by the wind and frost of the years, he can find the shadow of the boy wearing goggles.

The moment he saw Obito clearly, a strong pain swept through Kakashi's whole body, making him tremble almost uncontrollably.

Why are you looking at me like this?

Facing you like this, how can I——

Under his sad gaze, Obito's face gradually changed.Kakashi watched helplessly as the look of anticipation disappeared from Obito's eyes; the corner of his mouth twitched, and the expression that hadn't formed a sneer was forcibly erased and replaced with impeccable coldness.Obito straightened up, took a step back, and looked down at him from above.

"Welcome back to hell, Kakashi," he said.

"..."

"Akatsuki's action failed, and he failed to bring back Hachio intact." No response was received, and Obito's face sank slightly.After pausing for a moment, he said, "Konoha's people were lucky enough to escape this time, and they were not injured at all - except for the young me. Konoha relied too much on him, and he relied too much on his pupil technique... That's not a good sign."

Pupil technique overused?Kakashi's heart sank, and his eyes unconsciously revealed a bit of concern.Seeing this, Obito's face became even more unsightly, and his eyes narrowed in displeasure.

"Why," he folded his arms around his chest—this action made Kakashi see his abnormally colored right arm—half leaning on the cabinet where Bisk had been hiding, and said sarcastically, "for those who also have Kaleidoscope writing For you who share eyes, shouldn’t this be foreseeable a long time ago? It’s impossible for Konoha not to understand this, but it’s a pity that they have no choice. Apart from his Susanoo, there is rarely anything else Means can pose a threat to me. They can't afford consumption, but I have patience. In this war, the final winner will only be me."

"..."

"How about some reaction? Don't be like a scarecrow, standing there without saying a word!" Kakashi's continuous silence finally angered Obito.He took two steps forward suddenly, as if he wanted to grab Kakashi by the collar and pull him up, but somehow he gave up the idea halfway, and shook his hand angrily. "We haven't seen each other for so many years, aren't you going to say something to me? Ask me why I did this? Tell me to stop with useless nonsense? Kakashi!"

The lips under the mask moved a few times.Kakashi looked at Obito, but couldn't say anything after all.

What do you want me to say, Obito?He asked silently with his eyes.Under the current situation and position, what else can I say?

Ask Obito why he did this - after the joint eye of Guizhi Island, he can already guess most of it.It was all his fault that Obito became like this, and it was the result of his failure to keep the agreement and protect Lin.His incompetence led to the tragic deaths of Minato and Kushina in that world, and caused the death and serious injury of himself and his father here.Anyone is qualified to blame Obito for the wrong things he has done, except Kakashi.

Talk some useless nonsense to persuade Obito to stop-it will be useless nonsense.Since it is such a beautiful world, the world where Lin is still alive cannot stop Obito's actions, so the empty words he said obviously will not have any impact on Obito.

As for the others... It would be self-defeating to say it, so it's better not to say it.

How ridiculous.When he was still alive, he had stood in front of the memorial tablet countless times, had one-sided dialogues with his imaginary Obito, confessed, confessed, poured out, and sought support.Now that they really met, Obito really appeared in front of him alive, but he seemed to have been sealed by a curse, unable to say a single word.

how sad.

Kakashi lowered his eyes wordlessly and turned his head to one side.

He also missed the hurt look that flickered in Obito's eyes.

An oppressive silence permeated the room.After a while, Obito spoke first.

"Forget it." He said, his voice was cold and firm, "It's not completely unexpected to me. No matter how you look at me now, whether you are so disappointed in me, or disgusted that you don't even want to say a word to me, to me It doesn't matter if you talk about it. Anyway, what I want to do will not change; I will show you the end of this road and prove to you that my approach is right."

Kakashi looked up sharply.But Obito had already turned his back to him and activated his divine power.

"Don't think about running away, if you don't want to be an unconscious puppet anymore. I will leave a wooden clone in time and space to watch you." Throwing a cold threat, Uchiha's figure emerged from the vortex Disappeared.

Kakashi was still sitting there motionless.The dirt body was not breathing, he was completely still, like a misplaced statue.It wasn't until the candle in the corner was half burnt, and there was a soft "pop", that the silver-haired reincarnator seemed to finally regain his senses, and slowly lowered his head to look at his hands.

The hands that did not seal the ghoul's handprints in time.

He - a murderous ninja - hesitates at the moment when he needs to let go of his feelings most.

——At least in this world, please let me protect you in my own way.

A trash who can only say beautiful words on his mouth, but in the end he achieves nothing.

Kakashi closed his eyes.Gathering his fingers, he clenched his fist with such force that he seemed to crush his indecision, until the cloth of the glove made a slight creaking sound.

He can't miss another appointment.His promise cannot be allowed to be a blank promise again.

When he sees Obito again, he'll make it all come to an end between them.As for those things that you want to say but can't say, let's wait until the two of them are in the belly of the god of death and say it in front of the teacher who died young.

Kakashi only wished he could wear a mask the next time Obito came to see him.

--------

Three days later, Konoha Hospital.

"How is it?" Seeing Tsunade pushing the door in, Minato asked.

"Fortunately, all the data are normal. Although it is very slow, Sakumo's condition is indeed improving." Tsunade replied, "But he is getting old after all, and his body no longer has the self-healing ability of young people. Even if With my medical skills, it is still unknown whether I will be able to stand up in the end and to what extent I will recover.”

"At this stage, this is good news." Minato sighed. "Senior Shuo Mao... did he ask you why you suddenly changed rooms?"

"No. As you can see, he only woke up for a short while, and asked Kakashi—the older one—if he was gone, and fell asleep again when he got the answer. His heart was tied to his son, He is indifferent to his own life and future." Tsunade said pointingly, turning his gaze to the third person standing in the room.

The young Anbe turned a deaf ear to her words, and only put his hands on the double-sided mirror, staring intently at his father lying on the bed in the next room.

"Is this really okay, Kakashi?" Minato asked softly, "Don't go see him, and don't tell him you're back. Now he needs the company of his relatives most."

"And leave forever like another me, breaking his heart a third time?" Kakashi asked rhetorically.His tone was flat, but his fingers pressing on the mirror were quietly increasing their strength. "Before the teacher went to Yunlei Gorge, he didn't tell father that I had been reincarnated from the dirt... You clearly know what I think."

"...That's just Yuan's one-sided words. Before the news is confirmed, I can't rashly alarm Senior Shuo Mao."

"The result is the same." Kakashi said, without waiting for Minato to persuade him, he said first, "The three shadows of wind, earth, and water will soon arrive in Konoha, and Raikage and his party also need to be accommodated. The teacher should have many people now." Do you have something to do? The enemy is now, you are Hokage, it is better to go to the important things first."

Tsunade also silently patted Minato on the shoulder, and gave him a "here I am" look.Although his expression was somewhat reluctant, Minato still listened to the student's suggestion, and walked towards the door with a "huh".

"Senior Shuo Mao's matter, since you are so persistent, I will respect your decision." Putting his hand on the doorknob, he did not look back, "Then at least for this time, go spend more time with Lin and Obito... …especially Obito.”

Kakashi fell silent.He looked at the teacher's back, opened his mouth, seemed to want to say something for a moment, but finally just nodded. "yes."

……

At the same time, go down two floors to the third floor of the inpatient department.Outside a certain ward, Shishui and Itachi stood on both sides of the door, exchanging worried glances from time to time.

In the room, Lin, Fuyue, and Kushina were all standing at the end of the hospital bed, all of them solemn and silent.Obito sat on the head of the bed, raised his face halfway, obediently let an old man with gray hair in Uchiha uniform look into his eyes.

"Elder An Ming," Fu Yue immediately spoke as soon as the old man finished his inspection. Although he rarely used honorifics, it was not difficult to hear the anxiety in his voice. "How is Obito? Do you have any... ways to improve?"

"Forgive me for being helpless, patriarch." The old man turned to face them and shook his head. "Great power is bound to come with a high price. The more frequently the kaleidoscope Sharingan is used, the faster the owner's eyesight will decline. This is a doomed and irreversible result. What's more," he turned his head and glanced at You Lin Obito, who re-blinded his eyes for him, had a trace of regret on his expressionless face, "What he activated was that Susano called the power of God."

"If you continue to use the kaleidoscope Sharingan without restraint like this, one day, he will be completely blind."

Long-lost new chapter! (have the face to say)

In view of the fact that the old card in the original work entered and exited the Shenwei space several times in the same place, it is set in the article (actually I forgot whether there is an official x here) that only Brother Tu's right eye has the ability to move long distances.Therefore, Brother Tu is not worried about Lao Ka escaping through Shenwei, and the Mudun clone is left in the Shenwei space to prevent Xiaocheng from getting in to pick him up (although Xiaocheng will not be able to do it in a short time).Of course, Lao Ka didn't want to run away at all...
