"You promised me you'd become Hokage."
"Listen, I genuinely want to stop this war too."
"Save the world."
"So, I've decided to stay by your side and watch over you closely."
Seeing Rin's earnest expression, Obito remained silent.
"Didn't you say that saving you was the same as saving the world?"
Obito's mouth opened slightly; he hadn't expected Rin to still remember what he'd said years ago.
I couldn't help but feel moved; my eyes trembled slightly, and tears welled up in the corners of my eyes. My facade of strength was finally shattered.
【"Um!"】
[No longer pretending to be strong, her expression even looked somewhat aggrieved.]
Lin continued gently.
"With me watching over you, it means you can't hide anything from me."
【"Uh-huh!"】
Obito forced himself not to let his tears fall.
"Go for it, Obito!"
[Rin pumped her fist to encourage Obito.]
"Let me see your dashing figure as you become Hokage and save the world!"
"We made a promise."
With a smile, Rin took Obito's hand and led him back.
【"Let's go."】
"Lin is like an older sister. First, she forcefully broke down Obito's pretense, and then she gently encouraged him." Genshin Impact world, Narcida.
"I finally understand Obito. Who wouldn't be smitten?" Feng Xi in the world of the Demon List.
"Hmm? You're tempted?" Su Jiu'er, from the world of the Demon List.
"Wait, I'm coming right now." (From the Monster List World, Su Jiu'er)
"But the more this happens, the more my heart aches when I think of Obito's bouquet of flowers falling to the ground." —Metata, Cupid's Chocolate World
"Forget it, feelings can't be forced. Besides, judging from what the people in their world are saying, this must have happened many years ago." Xia Ling, from the Soul Town Street world.
"Let the whole world know Obito, let them know this lovely and kind child. It's just a pity that his feelings are destined to go unrequited. I hope that this time the Heavenly Curtain can also revive Obito, so that there will be one less heartbroken person in this world." Xia Ling, in the Soul Street world.
Chapter 43 Kazi, what makes you so arrogant? Wait until my Sharingan awakens before I shroud you!
"Ha~ha~Oh no."
[In the dense forest, a lithe figure moved nimbly through the treetops.]
"They'll get killed if this continues."
[Our Brother Tuzi was seen rushing forward anxiously.]
"Huh? Killed? The scene changes so dramatically?" - Anonymous, from the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes.
"My goodness, running back and forth in the trees like that, it's like Tarzan!" - Love Apartment World, Lu Ziqiao.
"Is Obito being hunted down by someone? Is this where he sacrificed himself?" (Kunzhong, Armor Hero World)
"Is it too late?"
Obito's face was contorted with rage.
【"Snapped!"】
Suddenly, Obito's foot got tangled in a vine, and the force of the high-speed movement caused him to lose his balance instantly.
"Huh?! Bang!"
[He let out a loud scream and slammed heavily to the ground.]
[He then hurriedly looked up.]
Standing before Obito was Kakashi, and beside him, Rin, who seemed to have just defended Obito, still wore a bitter smile.
[Minato-sensei was resting on a rock.]
Seeing that everyone was there, Obito finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just in time."
Kakashi coldly retorted upon hearing Obito's words.
"No, you're late, Obito."
Kakashi then bent down and questioned him.
"What time do you think we're meeting?"
"That was terrifying! I thought something exciting was going to happen, so I closed my eyes." Xia Ling, from the world of Zhenhun Street.
"No, actually you were peeking." Cao Yanbing in the Soul Town Street world.
"Obito's habit of being late is really consistent. Is this some kind of weird setting like '100% chance of being caught by a blade barehanded'?" Anonymous in the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes.
"'One hundred percent chance of being caught by a blade barehanded'... Is there really such a setting?" Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Lu Xiaoyu.
"Ahem! I, Li, also don't want to..." Li Jing, from the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes.
Kakashi frowned and continued his cold rebuke.
"Since he's a ninja who can stand alone."
"You must follow the rules."
[Obito slowly stood up and explained.]
"No, I met an old lady on the way who asked me for directions."
"By the way, I got sand in my eye."
Kakashi interrupted Obito without hesitation.
"Okay, that's a lie, isn't it?"
Minato then turned around, looked at Kakashi, and said softly.
"Don't say that, Kakashi."
"He led the old lady there, with dirt in tow, right?"
[Obito answered while putting in eye drops.]
"I helped the old lady with her luggage."
Kakashi turned to look at Minato, and said helplessly.
"The teacher is too naive."
"Besides, there can't always be someone in need of help in front of Obito."
In the world of Under One Person, Xu Si exclaimed, "Tsk, Kakashi is so arrogant! I would call him the number one person who dares to challenge everything and everyone!"
Kakashi continued his cold rebuke.
"Those who break the rules are called scum among ninjas, right?"
【Haha~】
Hearing Kakashi say such a firm statement, Minato broke out in a cold sweat, chuckled awkwardly, and said nothing more.
"Don't you have any tenderness in your heart?"
[Obito rubbed his eyes while complaining to Kakashi.]
"They always talk about rules and regulations, it's so annoying."
"The important thing is self-control."
Lin, seeing the two about to start arguing, helplessly raised her hand to mediate.
"You two stop arguing, you're on the same team."
"Rin spoils Obito too much."
Kakashi looked at Rin helplessly, but his tone finally softened.
"Today is also very important to me."
"Yes, yes."
Lin responded with an awkward smile.
[Obito, however, revealed a clear look in his eyes and asked with a puzzled expression.]
"What was it again?"
Minato began to explain.
"Today, Kakashi, just like me, became a Jonin."
"So, for the sake of mission efficiency, I separated from Kakashi's team."
As the group walked forward, Minato explained the current situation.
"In short, Konoha is currently facing an unprecedented shortage of fighting power."
"Insufficient combat power?" Tobirama Senju from the Pure Land expressed his shock.
The Senju and Uchiha clans were formidable forces that fought their way to victory during the Warring States period. Later, Konoha absorbed the Sarutobi, Shimura, Akimichi, Nara, Yamanaka, and even the Hyuga clans.
How did this come to be described as 'unprecedentedly insufficient combat power'?!
And what about the Nine-Tailed Fox?
Tobirama Senju grew increasingly angry, and even directly demanded that Hiruzen Sarutobi respond with some classified information on the public chat.
Of course, Tobirama Senju didn't go too far. He only asked about information from the Third Shinobi World War. After all, thirteen years had passed, and talking about it wouldn't cause any major problems.
(The Third Shinobi World War ended in Konoha at the end of year 50, and the Chunin Exams took place in Konoha in year 63.)
Tobirama Senju caught Hiruzen Sarutobi completely off guard, making the old man break out in a cold sweat.
Sarutobi Rōden spoke vaguely while secretly rejoicing.
If the teacher asked about the current situation and found out that he had almost wiped out the Uchiha and Senju clans, he would be so angry that he would come back to life and kill him!
[Returning to the sky.]
"If we separate, it means..."
Although Obito already had a suspicion, he couldn't help but ask.
[And Minato's answer was exactly as he had expected.]
"Yes, that's right. Kakashi is the captain, and he's in a group with Obito and Rin."
"And then I was all alone."
[Rin turned to look at Obito, puzzled.]
"Didn't I say that before, Obito?"
"We need to give Kakashi a present."
Hearing Rin say that, Obito turned his head away, not wanting to continue the topic.
"Sorry, I didn't hear you."
And our Brother Kazi glanced back at just the right moment.
Seeing this, Minato immediately pulled out a specially made kunai.
"Here's something for you, it's a custom-made kunai."
Unlike ordinary kunai, this one has two forward-pointing blades at both ends of its sharp edge.
