Chapter 289 Age Spots Appear

After this battle, Obito and Kakashi finally acknowledged each other.

Together they found Lin in the cave, but fell into a firelight trap.

The entire cave ceiling began to collapse, and Kakashi was accidentally hit by falling rocks.

At the critical moment, Obito turned around, grabbed Kakashi, and threw him aside, while his own body was firmly pinned down by the boulder.

On his deathbed, Obito gave his left eye to Kakashi as a gift for him to become a Jonin.

This Sharingan compensated for Kakashi's inability to see enemy movements clearly with Chidori, and later helped him become the renowned Copy Ninja.

Ultimately, the Minato Team successfully completed their mission.

To Konoha, Obito is a hero; his name is engraved on a memorial stone. Yet, he did not truly die.

On the screen, Obito lay on the bed, his body wrapped in bandages.

Beside the bed was an elderly man whose face was covered with wrinkles and who clearly hadn't had a haircut in years.

"This should be Uchiha Madara."

"He looks older on the screen than in real life."

Tobima's office.

To be honest, the Senju brothers still approve of Obito's behavior before he turned to the dark side.

During that period, Obito was not only kind, lively, and cheerful, but also had the awareness to sacrifice himself for his comrades.

If he hadn't gone to save Kakashi, things might have been different.

"Big brother, I want to unify the ninja world, and Madara Uchiha is the only variable. You should understand what I mean."

"I know."

Hashirama sighed and continued, "But you should also understand that if our plan succeeds and Madara returns to Konoha, he won't be an obstacle for you. On the contrary, he will be very excited to help you."

"Times change. Humans are creatures that change with time, place, and surrounding environment. Judging from his attempt to use the massive genjutsu 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' to achieve peace but in reality, he is no longer the Uchiha Madara we know."

Whether it's for peace or for the destruction of the world.

The Uchiha Madara that Senju Tobirama knew would never have such thoughts.

In his mind, Madara Uchiha was an extreme person.

Such a person may care about their comrades, clansmen, relatives, and local peace, but they will never care about the peace of the entire ninja world.

To put it bluntly, whether the entire ninja world is at peace or not is none of his business.

As long as the Land of Fire is at peace and poses no threat to those he cares about, that's fine.

As for destroying the world, Madara probably doesn't have that idea.

Therefore, Madara Uchiha, who had lost his younger brother and been betrayed by all his clansmen, and who developed thoughts of peace or destruction, was no longer the Madara they knew back then.

"Don't worry, bro, I'll do my best to persuade Madara. Besides, don't you still have Izuna as a trump card? Even if Madara changes, he won't be so heartless as to kill Izuna, right?"

"Well, who knows? We have to be prepared for both possibilities. If Madara refuses to return, then we'll still have to trouble you to suppress him, brother."

"Alright, if it really comes to that, I won't hold back."

Tobirama highly recognized his older brother's strength.

His older brother was already invincible, and now with the amplification of the Sharingan, what does it matter if he has the Rinnegan?

To put it bluntly, you could wear him down to death.

Hopefully, Madara won't scold him for lacking martial ethics.

Ban: I have never seen such a shameless person.

Tobirama: Ah~ Now you've seen it!

When Obito awoke, he found himself covered in bandages, and the right half of his body was gone.

At that moment, an aged face appeared before him; this old man was none other than Uchiha Madara, who was still alive.

He transplanted Hashirama's cells onto Obito's damaged body, helping him grow new limbs.

Madara tells Obito: "It's a miracle you survived. Your body seems to have pierced through rock."

Obito didn't dwell on Madara's words; all he wanted to do was get back to Minato's team and to Kakashi and Rin's side as quickly as possible.

However, his body was completely unable to move, and the entrance to the cave was blocked by a huge boulder.

Madara subtly reminded Obito that the world he was seeing was actually an illusion.

After saying this, Madara instructed two White Zetsu to take care of Obito, while waiting for the Hashirama cells to grow.

During this period, the thought of seeing Kakashi and Rin as soon as possible became the belief that sustained Obito.

One day, a White Zetsu on patrol brought news that Kakashi and Rin were being attacked by a group of Hidden Mist ninja.

Obito tensed up instantly. Ignoring his still-healing arm, he punched the boulder, breaking his arm in the process. But the next second, Obito suddenly felt himself enveloped by a force.

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

[White Zetsu Tobi wrapped his skin around Obito, forming a layer of armor, and then infused the power of the Golem into Obito's body.]

With Tobi's help, Obito shattered the boulder with a single punch.

Watching Obito's departing figure, Madara understood that his plan could officially begin.

"Damn it, that was really Madara's conspiracy."

Seeing Madara Uchiha's satisfied smile on the screen, Obito was seething with hatred.

Years later, he already felt that the incident back then was too coincidental and suspicious.

Trapped in Madara Uchiha's lair, he coincidentally learned of Rin and Kakashi's predicament.

Blocked by the boulder, the White Zetsu, who was originally devoid of human emotions, suddenly intervened to help him, allowing him to successfully break through the boulder and escape.

After going outside, she coincidentally witnessed Kakashi killing Rin.

Whenever the night was quiet, Obito would often recall those events from back then, and the more he thought about it, the more something felt off.

He already had some suspicions, and now that Ban's actions were exposed by the light screen, his suspicions were completely confirmed.

"There is no love without a reason, nor is there hatred without a reason. The reason Madara saved you was that he had the intention of using you."

Seeing that scene again, Kakashi was deeply moved.

"Don't worry, Kakashi. Madara is the real culprit who killed Rin. There's no way I'm going to help him anymore."

"I have never doubted your determination. I am just worried that, given Ban's methods, he will definitely do something to you to prevent you from betraying him."

With Rin around, Obito would never betray Konoha unless he really lost his mind and didn't want the real Rin, but instead pursued the fake Rin.

"I'm still in debt, so I don't have the extra money to clone my own body."

Obito understood what Kakashi was saying, but he needed to earn money to revive the villagers and ninjas he had killed, and he really didn't have any spare money.

"No rush. If you don't have the money, Lin and I can help you out, right, Lin?"

"That's right, Obito, I can pay for it for you."

"Really? Thank you so much, Lin."

Upon hearing that Rin would help him, Obito was overjoyed and wanted to grab Rin's small hand.

However, Rin had learned her lesson by now. With a chuckle, she subtly dodged Obito's lewd hand.

"We still don't know what kind of backup plan Madara has planted in you. Maybe cloning isn't even necessary?"

"Let's check the light screen first; there will definitely be clues about this on it."
