From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 231 Obito: Let me show you what a pure love god of war really is!

The sudden appearance of the dark figure immediately alerted Kakashi.

"And who are you?" He bent over, holding his short sword horizontally in front of him, his legs slightly bent to gather strength, his sharp gaze fixed on his opponent. Naturally, he led him into the role of the mastermind behind Obito's transformation. He said in a deep voice, "Obito, don't be bewitched by him. Wake up!"

"Sober? Bewitched? Hahaha"

However, Obito heard this advice as a huge joke, laughing so hard he could barely stand up straight. He gasped for breath and said, "You're still so naive, Kakashi. Open your eyes and see clearly. I'm very clear-headed, and I've never been so clear-headed before!"

The laughter abruptly stopped.

Obito, who was laughing wildly, suddenly straightened up. His face, as pale as a dead man and covered with ugly scars, was deeply reflected in Kakashi's eyes.

The face became extremely distorted, its ferocity revealing a hint of madness. Deep within its blood-red pupils, there was a violent and savage intent, almost tangible, chilling killing intent that caused the surrounding temperature to plummet to freezing point. It was like a ferocious beast that had broken free from the cage of the abyss, radiating bottomless malice.

Terror, anger, hatred!
Despair, struggle, murderous intent!
A mixture of countless negative emotions, an overwhelming surge of malice like a tsunami, made Kakashi feel as if he were staring into an abyss.

"See that? Kakashi, that's me!"

One second ago, Obito was almost insane, but he immediately regained his composure and said in a calm voice, "I'll say it one last time, don't meddle in other people's business. For Rin's sake, I can spare your life. I don't want to hurt 'her,' do you understand?"

Perhaps, only when mentioning 'Lin' would he reveal a rare, fleeting trace of tenderness.

Obito gazed tenderly at Rin's tombstone, slowly knelt down, wiped the dirt off the tombstone with his hand, and said softly, "It's alright, Rin, don't worry. I promise you, as long as Kakashi is alright, I will never hurt him, okay?"

"Obito."

Kakashi's gaze darkened slightly as he looked at the neurotic Obito, hesitating to speak.

"Shh!"

Obito suddenly raised a finger and put it to his lips, signaling him to be quiet: "Don't talk, Kakashi, Rin is talking to me."

After saying that, he turned his body to the side, pressed his ear tightly against the tombstone, and pretended to listen attentively.

"Can you wait a little longer, Lin? Don't worry, I'll take you back right away. This time, I promise I won't let you leave me again."

"Lin, I knew it, I'm the person you like the most."

"Kakashi? Don't worry about him, I'm the one who loves you the most, Rin."

"That's right, just the two of us are enough."

Obito seemed to be talking to the tombstone, his eyes full of tenderness, occasionally stroking the hard stone, as if he were caressing the face of the deceased girl from afar.

"Obito, face reality!"

Kakashi, unable to bear seeing him wallow in his illusions, gritted his teeth and revealed the truth: "Rin is dead!"

"You fart!"

However, Kakashi did not expect that just one sentence would seem to have touched Obito's sore spot.

"Lin is not dead!"

Obito glared at Kakashi with a ferocious expression, letting out a low roar like a beast: "She's still alive! I clearly heard it, I heard Rin whisper in my ear that she's still alive!"

"Those are all illusions. Face reality, Obito!" Kakashi pointed and said in a deep voice, "Open your eyes wide and see clearly, Obito. That's just a tombstone, not Rin. The real Rin is dead. She's dead and will never come back to life. Do you understand? She's dead!"

"Ahhhh——!"

Upon hearing this, Obito's pupils constricted, and he clutched his head, letting out a scream.

"No! No! Impossible! Lin is not dead!"

The next moment, Obito roared like a wild beast as he charged toward Kakashi: "It's you! It must be you! You're trying to steal Rin from me!"

Driven entirely by his killing instinct, a powerful punch slammed into Kakashi's face. "Wake up!"

Kakashi abandoned his short sword, gathered his chakra in his fist, and swung it with all his might.

boom!
The clash of fists instantly created ripples in the air.

Kakashi initially thought it would be an evenly matched battle, but he quickly realized just how naive and ridiculous his idea was.

An unstoppable force, like a landslide, surged forth at the moment of impact. The violent power poured into the body, instantly filling every bone and flesh, causing every bone and flesh to emit hysterical screams. Such a huge difference in power was simply despair-inducing.

The excruciating pain of his muscles and bones being torn apart caused Kakashi to spit out a mouthful of scalding blood, and he was sent flying backward at an extremely fast speed.

Along its almost straight path, it smashed through more than a dozen sturdy tombstones before finally crashing heavily to the ground.

What just happened?
When Kakashi's mind returned to normal and he regained consciousness, the excruciating pain throughout his body nearly made him faint again.

boom!
Another cloud of dust and tremors followed.

Obito's expression was ferocious, his pupils were bloodshot and crazed, revealing a bloodthirsty desire, as he stared at Kakashi beneath him like a wild beast.

"Obito?"

Kakashi spat out a mouthful of blood and opened his eyes to stare at the figure.

"I will not let anyone take Rin away from me, including you, Kakashi!"

Obito's face was ferocious, and his fists struck like a torrential rain, as if he were pouring out the suppressed anger and desire in his heart.

bang bang bang! ! !
Kakashi was forced to endure Obito's wrath.

Each heavy punch caused him excruciating pain, as if a giant millstone was grinding his body back and forth, crushing every inch of his muscles and bones.

No one knows how many punches he took, until Kakashi was beaten so badly that he was almost unrecognizable.

However, Obito seemed to still be immersed in his own crazy world. He grabbed Kakashi's hair and dragged him to the tombstone. He pressed Kakashi's head down and slammed it against Rin's tombstone, leaving a large patch of sticky blood. His face remained cold and indifferent.

Just then, Black Zetsu suddenly grabbed Obito's wrist: "That's enough, stop now."

Obito turned his head expressionlessly, staring at it with cruel and bloodthirsty eyes: "Do you want to die too, Black Zetsu?"

"I'm just reminding you."

Black Zetsu said calmly, "It's about time. If we keep making a scene, we'll attract other people soon."

"so what?"

Obito grinned, his eyes fierce and bloodthirsty.

"Those people won't let you take Lin away."

Black Zetsu shrugged, seemingly unconcerned, and said, "I don't really care, but I don't know what you think."

Upon hearing this, the madness in Obito's eyes faded. He tossed the half-dead Kakashi aside and coldly said, "You're right, Black Zetsu. Right now, Rin is the most important person!"

He dug away the soil with his bare hands and then smashed the coffin lid.

Looking at Lin, who had been dead for two months and had decomposed into a skeleton, his eyes revealed deep affection and attachment. He sickly picked up the skeleton, kissed the pale white skull, and whispered, "Lin, I've come. I've come to take you back."

Black Zetsu, however, came to Kakashi's side.

It stared mockingly at Kakashi, who was beaten to a pulp and barely breathing, and sneered, "It's unrealistic to expect a madman to face reality."
