Chapter 288 A Sudden Confession

During the Third Shinobi World War, Minato appointed Kakashi, who had just become a Jonin, as a squad leader.

During their mission, they were attacked by ninjas from an enemy village.

[The scene where Kakashi is injured while fighting the Demon Leech, and Obito is so frightened he cries on the spot, is strikingly similar to the scene where Naruto and Kakashi are terrified when they encounter the Demon Brothers on their first mission outside the village.]

Afterwards, Kakashi and Obito had another argument, and Minato reiterated the importance of teamwork.

[At night, Obito found Minato and complained that Kakashi was always targeting him.]

At this moment, Minato told Obito about Kakashi's father, the White Fang of Konoha, who broke the rules of the ninja world to save his comrades, and ultimately committed suicide due to the rumors surrounding him.

At this moment, Obito began to understand Kakashi's stubbornness and the loneliness he felt after losing his father.

"I'm so sorry, Kakashi, I didn't expect my death to have such a big impact on you."

Sakumo Hatake apologized to Kakashi very sincerely.

He originally thought that his death would only have a minor impact on Kakashi, but he never expected that it would almost change Kakashi's life.

"Can you tell me what you were thinking before you committed suicide?"

Kakashi's father's suicide has always been a thorn in his side.

Using this as an excuse, he asked many questions that had been hidden for many years.

"What were you thinking?"

After sighing, Hatake Sakumo said, "You know, the failure of that mission back then caused great losses to the village. I was already feeling bad, but fortunately I successfully rescued my teammates. Even if the mission failed, I accepted it. After all, what ninja can do a mission without failing?"

What I didn't expect was that the teammate I saved didn't appreciate it at all. Instead, he went around telling everyone that I shouldn't have saved him and that I shouldn't have caused the village to suffer losses because of saving him.

At that time, I was already a bit overwhelmed. In addition, the rumors in the village were getting worse and worse, and they even started to affect the outside world's perception of the village and people's opinions of you.

You probably remember, right? Suddenly, a lot of people your age started picking on you.

Kakashi thought about it for a moment and realized that it was true.

"Yeah, the ones who came looking for trouble with me were all nobodies. I easily chased them away."

"So, in order to restore the village's reputation and not affect you, I had no choice but to commit suicide."

"The village's reputation can be restored by completing the mission, and I won't be affected by those few rotten eggs and tomatoes. In the end, it's still because your ability to withstand pressure is too poor."

Kakashi knew that what he said was actually quite unreasonable.

If my father doesn't atone with his death, given the significant drop in the village's workload at the time, it will take a long time to restore its reputation.

Who will be responsible for the losses incurred during this period?

Over time, those who come to pick a fight with him may no longer be his peers, but rather his seniors and even formal ninjas.

He's not a child anymore; he can still understand these things.

"Perhaps."

Sakumo Hatake chuckled, ending the topic.

Let's just assume he genuinely has poor stress tolerance.

The following day, Minato, Obito, Kakashi, and Rin separated to carry out their respective missions.

Minato rushed to support the front lines, while Obito and his crew went to destroy the Kannabi Bridge.

On their journey, the three were ambushed by Iwagakure ninja. Caught off guard, Rin was kidnapped.

At this moment, Kakashi and Obito had a disagreement.

Kakashi became extremely stubborn because of his father's death, believing that he must complete the mission even at the cost of his comrades.

When Obito heard that Kakashi was going to give up on Rin, he punched him in the face.

Obito tried to understand Kakashi, but he could never forgive him for abandoning his comrades.

The famous quote that changed Kakashi's life was uttered by Obito at this moment.

[Obito: I think White Fang is a hero. You call people who don't know how to follow the rules trash, but in my opinion, people who don't cherish their comrades are even worse than trash.]

Kakashi was stunned by Obito's words. He hadn't expected that this loser would say something that acknowledged his father.

He certainly wanted to save his comrades, but he couldn't overcome his father's influence, and Obito happened to lend him a hand.

That's right, the one who pried open his heart and struck at his soul was Obito.

"Hehe, I never thought I was so important to Kakashi."

Obito looked at the light screen and revealed the silly smile that only appeared when he was a child.

His silly, goofy appearance bears a strange resemblance to Naruto.

"Ah, you really are very important."

"Well"

Obito thought Kakashi would deny it outright, but to his surprise, he admitted it directly.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Kakashi's sudden outspokenness completely stumped Obito.

"Video creator A-Tian said something very good: he said that same-sex love is true love, while heterosexual love is only for procreation."

After receiving Sakumo's apology, Kakashi's inner conflict was completely resolved, and he began to gradually let loose and be himself.

With a gentle gaze, he continued to speak to Obito in an affected manner, "How about the two of us..."

"Get out!"

Obito immediately interrupted Kakashi's words, disgustingly replying, "Who said you have a same-sex true love with me, Kakashi? I'm telling you this with full responsibility: I, Uchiha Obito, have always loved, am now, and will always love only Rin."

"."

"."

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito felt that something was wrong.

Under Kakashi's teasing gaze, he cautiously looked at Rin, only to find that Rin was also looking at him with a flushed face.

"Um, Lin, don't you think the moonlight is beautiful tonight?"

Perhaps because she was too shy, Lin did not reply.

For a moment, the harmonious atmosphere between Obito and Rin became ambiguous because of his sudden confession.

After separating from Kakashi, Obito went to rescue Rin alone.

At this point, Obito was just a rookie ninja, and he was quickly discovered by Oishi, a Hidden Stone Ninja who could turn invisible.

At the crucial moment, Kakashi suddenly appeared and repelled the enemy.

[Obito's words helped Kakashi rediscover his truest self, the one who cherished his comrades.]

However, the two children lacked combat experience, and Kakashi was ambushed by Oishi, losing his left eye.

Seeing that even the genius Kakashi was severely injured, Obito's tears once again flowed uncontrollably.

[Adversity often brings out a person's potential, and what followed was Obito's shining moment.]

[As Oishi launched another stealthy attack, Obito turned and struck the enemy's heart with a kunai.]

[It turns out that Obito awakened his Sharingan the moment Kakashi was blinded, and immediately it was the rare two-tomoe Sharingan.]

With the Sharingan, Obito gained unparalleled insight.

[His mere invisibility was nothing compared to what he could see.]
