[with card] Enemy of the World

35. See the future clearly for you

The Elder's words plunged the ward into complete silence.Lin's hands trembled, and the strip of cloth slipped from her fingertips, and was firmly caught by another outstretched hand before falling to the bed.

"What's the matter, everyone?" Obito said, putting the blindfold back on his head. "I can imagine the faces of all of you crying. The elder just said that if I continue to use the pupil technique unrestrainedly, I will lose my sight? It's not like I won't be able to see right away. If this is the case, can I just pay more attention in the future?"

There was a relaxed tone of indifference in his tone, but the expressions of the other people present did not reveal the slightest bit of relaxation because of this.

"Elder," tied a knot at the back of his head, and Obito turned his face to Anming's direction. "Do I need to wear this thing all the time?"

An Ming didn't answer right away.He looked at Obito with a calm expression, and the expression on his face became more and more complicated.

As a respected elder in the clan, like other elders, he cares about the future of the family and pays close attention to the growth of the next generation.Among this group of young people back then, the most promising ones were undoubtedly Shisui, who had shown great talent since he was a child, and Itachi, the eldest son of the patriarch Fuyue; If Obito, who was able to activate Dan Gouyu, was not lucky enough to be in the same team as the son of Bai Fang and became a student of the yellow flash, he would have been let go in the face of limited resources during the war.

Fifteen years ago, who could have imagined that the boy who cried and cried at every turn, and said that he would be laughed at as a dreamer if he wanted to become Hokage, would shine brilliantly at the end of the Third Ninja War, Even today, it has become the strongest combat force against powerful enemies in other worlds?

However, one day he will lose these eyes that brought him strength...

"Yes." He finally replied, with an unusually gentle tone, "There will be a lot of inconvenience, but this is for the sake of your eyes. You'd better not take it off until you leave Konoha and officially start a war with Akatsuki."

When Obito heard this, the corner of his mouth slightly curved downward.

"Ok."

"Then, my work is done." An Ming nodded to Fu Yue and Kushina, and left the ward.The door closed behind the old man, and they could hear Shisui and Itachi saying hello to the elder in a low voice, and then the sound of the two pairs of footsteps gradually faded away.

For a while no one made a sound.Fugaku broke the silence after a moment; he had been frowning at Obito's clenched hands when he put them down, and finally looked away, closing his eyes and sighing.

"I know that nothing can persuade you, and I also understand that now is the time for you not to be selfish and to save your strength. The fourth generation will unite with the major ninja villages to start a war with Akatsuki. At that time, Uchiha will also fight against Konoha's other Together with the ninjas, the whole family went to the battlefield and gave it a go. There will inevitably be casualties in wars, and since Kakashi in that world can transplant a Sharingan, of course we can do the same."

"This... how can this work?" Obito couldn't help being shocked when he read his subtext, and quickly objected, "Eyes are the most precious thing for the clansmen, even the dead—"

"This is not something you need to consider!" Fu Yue snapped his words off.The patriarch of the Uchiha clan opened his eyes, and the brilliance of his Sharingan revealed a decisive determination, "If it was me, Mikoto, and Itachi who were killed in battle in the future, we would make the same decision. The details are as follows: Let me handle it, you just need to do what you should do, go all out, defeat the kite, and win this war."

"Always remember this, Obito. Born Uchiha, the family will always be your strongest backing."

"And us." Kushina also said, "Minato and I will always support you and fight side by side with you."

Rin silently covered Obito's fist with her hand, and squeezed it hard.

Obito's open mouth slowly closed, his lips pressed into a thin line.

"...Thank you, Uncle Fuyue, sister Kushina, Lin." He said softly, "Thank you."

"The Five Kages meeting is coming soon. I have to discuss with the Hinata family about the staffing of the guard." Fuyue waved his hand, but did not respond to the title Obito added to his name.He turned and walked out, turned around when he reached the door, and looked at Lin. "I'm counting on you to bring the soil."

"It's a duty." Lin said.

"I have to go too. I haven't finished dealing with the sealing class." Kushina said, walking over and stroking Obito's hair, "I'll bring Naruto to see you tomorrow."

"……it is good."

Commander Anbu, who was still outside, opened the door.Itachi nodded to Lin, and left behind Kushina.The sound of their footsteps gradually faded away in the corridor, leaving only the two members of Minato's class in the ward.

"Sorry, Obito." Lin whispered, "I'm obviously a medical ninja...but I can't do anything for you."

"Hey, you have already said this once in Unlei Gorge?" Obito shrugged exaggeratedly, "You are a super elite doctor who is not stingy to praise Tsunade-sama, how can you be so dejected? Okay. I'm still waiting for you to become the director of Konoha Hospital in the future, secretly using your power for personal gain, and book me an exclusive bed on the top floor with a sunny and well-ventilated bed."

As he spoke, he restrained his joking tone again and became serious. "You have done a good job, Lin. Elder An Ming is responsible for keeping our clan's ancient books, and the research on Sharingan Sharingan is second to none in the clan. If even he can't do anything about it, it means that this is beyond the reach of human beings." .Besides, as I said just now, I may not really overuse my eyes and go blind immediately after the war; even so... that may not be a good thing."

The black-haired young man turned his face towards Lin, showing a warm smile. "When I made a deal with Orochimaru, I didn't promise to give him a pair of working kaleidoscope Sharingan, did I?"

Seeing his expression and tone in her eyes, Lin couldn't help but start to jump in fear.They have known each other for 20 years, and there are some things that Fugaku and Kushina may not be able to see, but it doesn't mean she is the same.Ever since Kakashi was abducted by the kite and officially confirmed dead during the trip to Hidden Rain Village, she had a vague sense of foreboding. Every small detail that Tu occasionally reveals in his words and actions is pushing her towards that terrible guess.

The way he looks now, it's not just that he doesn't care if he will go blind after the war; it's almost like—

"Obito, you..." Her chest tightened, she subconsciously grasped Obito's hand tightly, her voice choked up as soon as she opened her mouth. "You don't mean to..."

The smile disappeared from Obito's face.

"Don't worry, Lin. I won't take the initiative to seek death."

He was only willing to give such useless pale comfort.

"But--"

Obito jumped in front of her and continued: "Tobi wants to get Eight and Nine Tails to complete his evil plan. Facing the coalition forces of the Five Great Powers, he will definitely not have any spare power left. If that is the way to save the world and win the war The only way...you who have made such a decision in another time and space will definitely understand my thoughts."

Lin let out a sharp gasp.

But Obito seemed not to hear, he gently broke free from her hand, and fell back into the quilt. "I'm a little tired and want to sleep for a while, so go get busy."

There was a dead silence in the room.Then Lin Teng stood up; without saying anything, she wiped her eyes vigorously, and hurried out of the door.

If she stayed here for another second, she was afraid that her emotions would collapse in an instant.

The door slammed shut behind him.Lin lowered her head and strode forward, but quickly bumped into a person.

"Sorry, I..." She subconsciously apologized and raised her head. The moment she saw the other party clearly, her eyes widened, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Card--"

"Shh." Kakashi covered her mouth, raised his index finger with his other hand to his lips, and made a silent gesture.Seeing Lin nodded, he let go of his hand, gently wiped away her tears, took her wrist again, and walked away from the ward.When the two came to the stairwell at the end of the corridor, he finally stopped and turned around.

"Did you hear everything?" Lin sniffed and asked.

"I saw the elder of Uchiha when I came over." Kakashi answered her question indirectly, and thoughtfully did not ask what the so-called "that decision" was.

"Go and persuade him, Kakashi." Rin begged, "Only you can do this."

The silver-haired young man was silent - after becoming the body of dirt, his expression was harder to read than before.He lowered his eyes, looked up again after a while, and looked at Lin.

"Leave it to me." He promised in a reassuring voice, "But before that, Lynn... there is something I want to ask you."

--------

Obito lay on the bed, listening to the occasional bird call or two from the trees outside the window.

I'm sorry, Lynn.he said in his heart.

That sentence must have stung her hard, but Obito had no choice.He hadn't been good at dealing with Lin's tears since he was a kid, and if the two continued to argue, the more he talked, the more he would only make Lin sad; saying that was the best way to end this pointless argument.

It is also his real idea.

If one person had to sacrifice his life and drag Yuan to the underworld, he hoped that it would be himself.Because Tobi is none other than Obito Uchiha from another world, since he started all these disasters, he should naturally end them.

Kakashi's blood-stained mouth and Sakumo's back resolutely going to die flashed in Obito's mind.Immediately after, a third similar figure appeared in front of his eyes, bending his left eye pierced by the scar and smiling at him, every gentle arc was full of heaviness and sadness.

Deer startle...

Thinking of the empty and cold expression of the silver-haired man when they met for the last time, Obito couldn't help curling up, and shrank back into the quilt.How is he now?Is the kite planning to seal him forever?If there is still a chance to negotiate, I hope he will not push himself too hard——

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

There was a sudden knock on the door.Before Obito could reply, the person who came had pushed the handle, opened the door and walked in.

"...Lin?" Obito half raised his upper body and asked uncertainly. "Did something fall?"

"It's me, Obito." The voice of another teammate answered him.

Obito froze.After a while, he let out a long breath and fell back on the bed. "You're here. Aren't you going to accompany Mr. Shuo Mao?"

"Father has doctors and ninjas to take care of him at any time, so I don't need a layman to make trouble." Kakashi said, "And he is asleep most of the time, even if I accompany him, it is useless."

Obito pursed his lips.

"Have you gone to see him in person?" he asked.

Not answered.

It was quiet.Obito heard Kakashi close the door, and the sound of footsteps moved from the door to this side, and stopped somewhere to his left.He could feel that Kakashi's gaze was falling on his face, and that gaze seemed to have substance, from his forehead to the corner of his nose and mouth, as if he wanted to keep his appearance firmly in his heart.

"This is the last time I'll see you, Obito." Kakashi said suddenly, "I'm here to say goodbye to you."

Obito's mind went blank.

"...Farewell?" He repeated these two words mechanically, and slowly sat up from the bed. "Farewell? Where are you going?"

"Minato-sensei and Jiraiya-sama have always suspected that Akatsuki has another stronghold besides Yuyin Village." Kakashi said, "Through the reports of the people below and the communication with Raikage, the teacher discovered that there were kites everywhere. Bai Jue's subordinates are haunting, maybe Kite is using them to control the movements of the five major countries. Although Bai Jue's single-handed combat power is not top-notch, once quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, it is also a threat that cannot be underestimated. So I plan to report to Minato The teacher invites you, and then go to check on Akatsuki's—”

"I'm asking you, where do you want to leave me at a time like this!!"

Obito's roar echoed in the room.Kakashi shut his mouth; he watched as Obito roughly tore off the blindfold, chakra lost control slightly in rage, the tape ignited spontaneously in Uchiha's hands, and quickly turned into A pinch of ashes.

"Hatake Kakashi, are you serious?" Obito stared at him angrily and hurt, as if a flame was burning in his bright red pupils. "You just died on your own initiative, and left me behind because of the responsibility I had to bear. In order to see you again, I went to Dashemaru to make a deal, and in order to avenge you, I endured the humiliation and stole the ninjutsu of the kite. I was able to go to Unlei Gorge to pick you up in person, I almost died from Tsunade's rehabilitation training! Now that you finally came back, I finally saw you again, and you actually told me that you were leaving soon to perform what the hell The mission? Can’t everything I do cause you to be touched? Do you still have me in your heart!”

"Calm down first, Obito. This is for the sake of the overall situation." Kakashi's voice was still steady, but the hand hanging by his side was quietly clenched. "I dealt with Bai Jue for a while when I was Xiao, and I have some impressions of their characteristics. Back then, Bisk also remembered their smell. And the filthy body is more convenient to move, and I won't die again—— —”

"What I hate the most is the way you talk about death lightly, and even your own life can be weighed on the balance!" Obito grabbed the cup on the bedside table, and threw it at Kakashi .The cup flew over the empty bed between them and headed towards Kakashi, who tilted his head and let it shatter against the wall. "You used your own death to stimulate my eyes, and let me gain enough strength to resist the kite as you wished. Seeing your plan succeed, don't you feel very satisfied and die well? What did you say 'it would be better to die It must be worth something', you can feel at ease when you die, but you don't care about the mood of those who are left behind, it's obviously extremely selfish!"

Under Obito's accusations one after another, the calm expression finally disappeared from Kakashi's face.The gloves creaked slightly, and he stared at Obito coldly, anger and pain also began to well up in his eyes.

"I'm relaxed? Am I extremely selfish?" He repeated Obito's words, raising his voice suddenly. "Don't make it seem like I'm willing to die! If I didn't do that at the time, the three of you and the others who rushed over to reinforce them would all be killed by him. What's the point of such a meaningless sacrifice! I don't care if What is the mood of those who stay behind? Then do you know how I felt when I heard Orochimaru say that you would rather give him your eyes and reincarnate me? Do you know that when you go back to Konoha and see your father, you Everyone, understand that I no longer belong here, and sooner or later I will say goodbye to you again, how will I feel!"

He has always been calm and self-possessed. As he grows older, let alone yelling, it is rare for him to express his emotions directly.Obito couldn't help being taken aback by Kakashi's aggressive yelling back suddenly, and immediately fell silent; Kakashi seemed to be still angry, and raised his hand to point at him aggressively. "I heard the conversation between you and Lin just now outside the door. Obito Uchiha, what right do you have to say that I leave you alone? What you are planning now is to die with Kite, don't think I can't see it! "

"...So what!" Obito's heart flared up again after being poked in the sore spot by him. "If I die so that everyone else can live, isn't it worth my death? This is your own theory! If you don't want to die, why can't I do the same? And I don't need to die Who cares, who do you think you are me!"

He was ready to continue fighting with Kakashi, but he never thought that the latter would miraculously become quiet again after hearing his last words.

"Who am I to you?" He stared at Obito, his slow-down speech seemed to indicate that a storm was coming, "Okay, I'll tell you now."

After saying that, he jumped up and jumped over the empty bed, and landed directly in front of Obito.Before Obito could react, Kakashi pressed his shoulders against the head of the bed.The mask was pulled off, and then two pieces of cold and dry lips were pressed together, and the tip of the tongue protruded and tapped his teeth.

Obito's breathing stopped suddenly, and his eyes widened suddenly.He stared at the face that was close at hand, and looked into those eyes that were different from those of the living; those eyes were also looking at him, with thousands of words brewing in their eyes.

His pupils turned from red to black, and Obito closed his eyes.He suddenly turned against the guest, broke free from Kakashi's suppression, rushed over to hold the other's face, and kissed him deeply.Kakashi opened his mouth to let his intrusion go, his hands wrapped around Obito's neck and shoulders behind his back, fingers inserted between the black hair.

Their bodies are pressed against each other, one side's heart is beating vigorously in the chest cavity, while the other side is as silent as stagnant water.Tears flowed from Obito's closed eyelids, and the transparent liquid was mixed with strands of light red, sliding silently down the cheeks, and both of them tasted the taste of fishy, ​​sweet, bitter and salty.

The tension just now seemed to be just an illusion.They kissed fiercely and lingeringly, conveying the sadness hidden under the sharp words to each other in the most sincere and straightforward way.

"I'm the one who loves you the most in this world, silly boy." After a long time, their lips parted, their foreheads were pressed against each other, and they opened their eyes to look at each other, Kakashi whispered. "I have nothing else to ask, I just hope that you can live well, take my share, and live forever. Will you promise me?"

"I promise you, stupid Kaka, I promise you everything." Obito choked up sobs, and red began to appear in his eyes again. "So don't go, okay? These eyes are opened for you, and the first moment you open them is you, so when I lose them in the future, I also hope that the last thing that stays in my eyes is still you."

"Okay. I will stay by your side until you go to the Pure Land. We have agreed, and no one is allowed to break the agreement."

They hugged again, chins resting on each other's shoulders, cheeks touching, ears rubbing.

"Use my eyes." Kakashi suddenly said after such a quiet time.

"……what?"

"Transplant." Kakashi said, hugging Obito even harder, not letting him break free from his embrace, seeing his expression. "I asked Lin, because my father has been lying on the hospital bed, and you are in a hurry to go to Yunlei Gorge. My body has not been buried yet, and it has been stored in the secret room under Anbu. Although it has been a while, in the eyes of reincarnation Under the successive protection of seals and seals, the body functions are still maintained at the state of death, and the organs have not yet died."

"Although it's just a pair of ordinary eyes and doesn't have any powerful pupil skills...but I still hope that they can see the future clearly for you."

His vision became blurred again because of this sentence.The eyes began to sting again, Obito closed his eyes tightly, and held Kakashi tightly in his arms.

"Let's not talk about this for now, okay?" He begged in a weak voice that he rarely had after becoming a Jonin.

Kakashi let out a sigh in his ear. "good."

--------

A few days later, the basement level of the Huoying Tower.

The large meeting room is brightly lit.In the middle of the room, five shadows sat around the round table, and the bamboo hats representing their respective identities were placed on the table.The accompanying ninjas stood quietly behind their leader, all with straight backs and vigilant eyes.

"... That's it. I can't think of any other explanation for the 'perfect body' that Tobi said other than Jubi." The bull ghost who took over Bi's body ended his introduction. "As for why that guy wants to revive Ten-Tails, and what his real plan is, then I don't know."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head again and looked at Yubi who was also sitting next to the round table and was the only one remaining. "Is there anything else you want to add, Nine Tails."

Kyuubi replied in a way that the kages couldn't hear; judging by Kushina's uncomfortable expression, it probably wasn't polite.The bull ghost let out a sneer, and leaned back on the back of the chair. "I'm done talking, it's time for Bibi to come back."

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki who regained consciousness soon began to mutter and sing RAP in a low voice, and finally calmed down when the violent Raikage flew over his head with a bamboo hat.The other ninjas present were not in the mood to watch him play tricks, and everyone looked at each other with unusually solemn expressions.

If everything Niu Gui said is true...the situation will be far more critical than they expected.

"Speak directly, Your Excellency Minato." After a long silence, Luo Sha spoke first.The Fourth Kazekage, who lost his youngest son a few months ago, had a stern expression on his face. "You summoned us to hold a five-kage meeting. What is the purpose?"

Minato stood up.

"I hope to unite all countries to form an unprecedented coalition of ninjas." Both hands clenched into fists and pressed against the table, making a soft bang.Hokage answered in a deep voice, looked around, and glanced at the faces of the four kages and the two Jinchuriki one by one, "Then—"

"—declare war on Akatsuki."
