Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 51 The Story of Kakashi, Obito, and Rin

"Who are you…"

Kakashi Hatake's eyes trembled slightly.

Kakashi Hatake thought he had never met the mysterious masked man before, but he felt a strange sense of familiarity. His brain seemed to be electrified and instantly recalled a certain person!

This intruder…

He looks so much like one of my childhood friends.

"Obito..."

Kakashi Hatake murmured something unconsciously.

Painful memories that Kakashi Hatake once dared not recall resurfaced like bamboo shoots after a rain, from his first meeting with Obito Uchiha, to their forming a team, and finally to Obito's sacrifice and his own burial by Kakashi…

These past memories constantly bombarded his brain and stimulated his nerves, slowly freezing the image of the ever-smiling Uchiha boy in reality.

A young man around twenty years old.

He had short, disheveled hair, a scar on his right cheek, and a strange Mangekyou Sharingan in his right eye; his left cheek was unharmed, but his left eye was an ordinary Sharingan.

Kakashi Hatake couldn't believe that the person in front of him was his former comrade, because the other person had two perfectly intact eyes, although the two eyes were not quite asymmetrical;

Kakashi Hatake dared not deny it easily, because the other person's appearance was so similar to that of a young Obito Uchiha. If Obito Uchiha were still alive, he would definitely look like this person at the age of twenty...

"You brat..."

The mysterious masked man was still furious that his mask had been removed!

The mysterious masked man never imagined that a kid could directly break his proud Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique using a low-level wood clone!

The mysterious masked man's face is concealed by a mask, allowing him to impersonate a powerful figure in the ninja world and use that figure's name to recruit followers...

after all…

The true identity of the mysterious masked man…

Just an insignificant nobody...

The Eye of the Moon Project hasn't even officially started yet. Once his true identity is exposed, it will seriously affect his prestige. Even if he can use the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan to solve the problem, it will still cause considerable trouble...

As the mysterious masked man grew increasingly furious…

Then I saw Kakashi Hatake standing in front of me, his face full of astonishment!

"Kakashi!"

The mysterious masked man looked at Kakashi Hatake with even greater anger. He stood up and kicked Kakashi in the chest, sending him flying!

A vine caught Kakashi Hatake!

Kagura Akihara seemed to know nothing and asked, "Captain Kakashi, do you know him? He's from the Uchiha clan. Every time I mention you, he calls you a piece of trash. What kind of grudge do you two have?"

"..."

Kakashi Hatake's hands were still trembling.

If Kakashi Hatake had only some suspicions before, at this point he was almost certain that there was only one Uchiha who was intertwined with his life.

"Probably, maybe..."

"It's someone I know..."

A bead of cold sweat slowly appeared on Kakashi Hatake's forehead as he stared intently at the face revealed by the mysterious masked man: "Obito, it's you, isn't it?"

"snort…"

The mysterious masked man gave a cold snort.

The mastermind behind this, named Uchiha Obito, had no choice but to accept the reality that his mask had been exposed, but his anger only intensified!

"Did you recognize him?"

"Kakashi..."

"It's okay if you still want to call me by that name..."

Obito Uchiha simply admitted his true identity, coldly continuing, "Anyway, for me, the story of that name is already in the past..."

"You're still alive..."

Kakashi Hatake stared at his opponent, speechless.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Kakashi Hatake led Obito Uchiha and another companion on a mission, but their team suffered heavy losses…

Kakashi Hatake lost one of his eyes to an enemy, and Obito Uchiha was buried under rocks and on the verge of death. Before dying, Obito gave one of his Sharingan eyes to Kakashi Hatake and entrusted him with taking care of another comrade...

Back then, on the battlefield at Kannabi Bridge, I had already buried Uchiha Obito with my own hands. Why is he back to life now?

Why wear a mask?

Where has he been all these years?

What has life been like these past few years?

"Why..."

Kakashi Hatake's mind raced, trying to come up with a series of explanations, before he asked, trembling, "Since you're not dead, why didn't you return to the village...?"

Whether I am alive or not is completely irrelevant.

Obito Uchiha spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "But then again, you're probably most concerned about this kind of question. If you really want to know why..."

Obito Uchiha raised his arm and pointed at Kakashi Hatake: "Because of you, you stood by and watched Rin die!"

"..."

Kakashi Hatake was sweating even more.

Lin.

Rin Nohara.

Another companion of theirs.

Kakashi Hatake felt a little out of breath.

At that moment, Kakashi Hatake finally understood why Obito Uchiha would call him a piece of trash every time Kagura Akihara mentioned him…

Before his death, Obito Uchiha entrusted Kakashi Hatake with the care of his comrade Rin. However, Kakashi Hatake did not take good care of Rin, nor did he abandon her to her death...

But...

He killed Lin with his own hands.

Kakashi Hatake recalled being awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, and the feeling that his hands could never be truly clean no matter how hard he tried…

Because of that hand…

It pierced through Lin's chest.

"Who is Lin?"

Kagura Akihara suddenly asked this question, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two of them, as if she knew nothing of the past: "By the way, Captain Kakashi didn't save that girl named Rin. And Obito Uchiha, why didn't you go to save Rin when you were still alive?"

"The ninjas of Konoha are always late..."

A flicker of pain flashed in Obito Uchiha's eyes.

The ninjas of Konoha are always late, even the Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze, once the fastest ninja in the ninja world, was late...

Obito Uchiha, formerly a Konoha ninja...

That day...

I was late too.

The day you should never be late in your life.

"This is my fault..."

Kakashi Hatake's voice was somewhat hoarse, and you could even see his nerves trembling as he spoke, yet he was still trying his best to tell the truth.

"Lin, it's me..."

"You killed him."

Obito Uchiha coldly told him the truth.

Obito Uchiha touched his eye sockets and continued coldly, "I saw it. You killed Rin with your own hands..."

"At that time..."

"I thought I was in hell."

When Obito Uchiha arrived, he witnessed Kakashi killing Rin, and saw his most trusted friend kill the person he loved most!

"..."

Kakashi Hatake's heart sank lower and lower, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something more: "Back then, Rin's body..."

"No need to explain, and don't worry, I won't blame you anymore."

Having perhaps vented his anger, Obito Uchiha's expression gradually calmed down, and he said, "If I had to say, it's the world's fault..."

"Village, ninjas, war, the dead Rin, you who killed Rin, and me who survived—this false world is full of mistakes!"

First update!

Akihara did absolutely nothing in this chapter!

I just offered a few pointers!
