Chapter 16: Reconciliation
ββ¦β¦ Now, what face do I have to go back there? β
Obito felt that he could no longer escape from this topic, and he could only show his thoughts on his face unabashedly.
He took off his mask and furrowed his brows as he narrowed his only normal eyes in pain.
β¦β¦ Why?
Why do you know the truth now?
The person who led Jiraiya's first 'three' disciples astray was himself, and the person who removed the existence of Jiraiya's fourth disciple and also his own teacher was also himself.
Not to mention the things that are going on in the dark, whether it's Konoha or these two people, maybe it's not very clear.
When he stole Konoha from the Uchiha before, he had the same attitude as this world towards the four generations of Mekage Rock carved on the rock wall.
Anyway, everyone will meet in the end in a 'real' peaceful world.
Can ...... now
ββββ¦β¦ Kakashi, I really hope that everything you said is false, so I don't have to worry about it anymore......"
Obito pressed Kakashi's shoulder tightly, shaking him with emotion, "Why? Why do you both look like you don't care like this? Don't you know what I've done? I...... There is no way to get forgiveness. β
Kakashi felt Obito's hand grip on his shoulder, and from the firmness and strength that had been tugging away from him at first, he became weak and trembling.
He suddenly remembered that the current Obito was different from himself.
He had always thought that Obito was someone older than him, and although he was not a few years older, he ......
No matter what he did in disguise as Madara shouldn't have been something a child could do, Obito was only a seventeen-year-old teenager now.
It's different from the 'old guy' who has really experienced more than 40 years of life.
It's really hard for Kakashi to imagine what Obito thought about to be able to attack the people who support him so without hesitation.
Although he had given up on Lynn in the past, he ......
He didn't think he was going to think about what to do to someone close to him.
{If I don't have them by my side...... I guess I have the same mentality as Obito. }
It's hard to think about, but he's glad he didn't give up on himself.
My father is gone, but there are still acquaintances such as Obito, Lin, and Kai, and they have always been around him, and they don't let themselves feel the deepest loneliness.
Because I used to be too rigid, no one was willing to take me on a mission, not even the teacher at first...... But he finally agreed, was patient with himself, and believed in his own abilities to give himself important tasks...... It was like that all the way up to the founding of the Watergate class.
Even if his choice was very reckless, the teacher who was also a shinobi did not immediately hit his confidence, and chose to help him finish off the task that he had not completed well.
Obito is gone, Lin is still there, the teacher is still there, and so is Kai.
After the members of the Watergate class are 'only' left, they always have someone to accompany them.
This will be the case for decades to come.
But Obito is a person who has been enduring those painful things.
After knowing that Obito was on the scene at the time, Kakashi regretted it immensely.
- He should have had a better way to save Lynn.
Thinking about it now, the situation at that time could not have been changed by one person.
After he passed out in a coma, who solved the enemy ninja who was eyeing him there?
Reinforcements won't come so soon.
Kakashi thought that he had suddenly exploded after losing consciousness, but this time he also thought that he could deal with them, so he chose the quickest way.
Didn't take into account Obito's mood at all.
When Obito was buried by the pile of stones, Kakashi knew Obito's heart for Rin.
He knows.
But it was precisely because he knew that he felt that his choice at that time was so harmful to Obito.
Kakashi later figured out that Obito, like Kai, was a best friend who influenced him for life.
But at that time, he only felt that Obito was a companion like Rin, and he was about to lose control of his emotions, not to mention the emotions of Obito who had died at the hands of his 'partner' after watching the person he cared about for many years.
Or on their own initiative.
He did something wrong.
And Obito did the wrong thing because of what he had done.
And the reason why that happened,It's mainly on the black Jedi who deceived Madara and Obito.γ
Kakashi wanted to comfort Obito and said: You are not wrong, and I am the same, it is the Black Jedi who is wrongββ......
But it was indeed himself who took the initiative to do it to Lynn.
It was indeed Obito himself who chose to do it to the teacher.
He couldn't hide the painful reality with a fluttering word of comfort.
Kakashi could only hug Obito tightly, trying to give some physical warmth to this person who was similar to the mistake he had made.
The cold in my heart is not so easy to dispel.
That's all he can do now.
-
Obito cried.
He was on the verge of breaking down before, but he tried hard not to show it.
He felt that he was already a mature person, and no matter what decision he made, he should not have a mature person with emotional fluctuations and like Madara.
But he's not Madara.
No matter how disguised it is, it's not a disguise.
He has hurt countless people, tarnished his dreams, and betrayed the trust of his teachers.
He cannot be forgiven.
-
Obito cried, and Kakashi cried after a while.
The two of them hugged each other and cried very much like Kai and Lee hugged and cried when they first appeared.
Didn't see it.
Naruto ran outside and cleaned up what he hadn't finished, and Kakashi helped him clean up what he hadn't finished packing.
Let's talk about something else when these two calm down.
Naruto didn't really care about the Mizumon thing, although there was a reason why he wasn't their original child.
The main thing is that Naruto of Shippuden himself forgave Obito and tried to bring him back.
People themselves didn't pursue anything, but they were outsiders who were entangled in those things...... It's as embarrassing as deliberately wearing someone else's shoes that don't fit.
Although as long as it is pretended to be similar enough, no one can see it.
-
After Naruto cleaned up, he returned to the tent and placed the little doll that Kakashi had come to accompany him on the edge of his sleeping bag.
Kakashi sorted out his mood and stopped crying first, scratching his head in embarrassment, not daring to look at Naruto with his eyes wandering.
Obito, who hadn't cried for a long time, cried again for a while before settling down, as if he felt too embarrassed, and after calming down, he kept hugging Kakashi like a child and pretending to be dead.
β¦β¦ Lose face.
Kakashi shouted several times and even patted him on the shoulder, but Obito didn't give any answer.
It's like it's not a real person.
[When will it be a head if it goes on like this.] ]
Naruto walked up to the two 'kids' in dissatisfaction, squeezing through the huge gap between the two of them, parting Kakashi's shoulders and Obito's head like mushrooms after the rain, and wrapping his arms around their necks with his backhand.
"Hey, hey, that's enough, if it goes on like this, it's dawn, don't you have anything else to do?"
Naruto's small arm was pressed inward, but it didn't bother Kakashi and Obito in any way.
"Big Brother Obito shouldn't come back right now - it's not that I don't want to, I think it's not a good time now, and the interior of Konoha is not so peaceful and stable, if Big Brother Obito comes back, Uchiha has added another person with a kaleidoscope, maybe it will cause even more trouble."
Kakashi's original work didn't use a kaleidoscope until Shippuden.,It's probably because he fainted straight after opening it.,So I didn't study it in depth.γI don't know.γ
After all, it wasn't his own eyes, and he used it directly when Obito opened it, and the effect was outstanding, and Kakashi opened it for the first time after more than ten years, and he couldn't move, and he lay in the hospital for a week.
So it's normal not to be targeted by the Uchiha.
Knowing that Kakashi's eyes were a very precious kaleidoscope, there were already a few people left in the Uchiha clan.
- "You can't just use a kaleidoscope in front of others, do you hear?" β
Naruto pinched Kakashi's face and pulled it to the sides.
"yes, I see."
Kakashi's face, even if it was pinched into a funny shape, didn't stop him from laughing.
It's just that the smile is funny.
Obito also knew that he couldn't pretend to be dead anymore, and after stepping back from the two of them, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to make a hole in the stone floor of unknown materials, and then bury himself in it.
He didn't know how he was going to face Naruto.
I don't know what kind of mentality to use to face this: a child whose parents died for their own reasons and was almost killed by themselves.
"I'm really sorry I left you orphaned......"
In the end, the thousands of words of the Obitu Society were condensed into only one apology.
Kakashi can kneel down to himself, so he doesn't need to care about face.
He also gave Naruto a seat on the earth.
ββ¦β¦β
Naruto always felt like Obito was cursing in the second half of his sentence.
ββ¦β¦ It's okay, if you really feel sorry, just hold this position for 20 minutes, and be kind to me in the future, meet some of my wayward requests, and think that you are helping my father and child. β
Naruto looked at the watch on his wrist that didn't exist, and nodded at Obito who had his head down.
Obito felt that this was just a very simple thing, so he agreed, and did not get up for the time being.
Anyway, it wasn't Kakashi who knelt on his knees, just a two-year-old child.
And if this kid is shameless, it is estimated that Tsunade will have to call him grandpa even an adult.
I don't think so.
β¦β¦ And if he hadn't experienced such a thing, maybe Naruto would have lived in a very happy family.
Kakashi, himself, and Rin...... I'll often take Naruto to play as an older brother and sister.
Even if a child who is almost fifteen years younger than himself behaves willfully, there will be no dissatisfaction.
Willfulness is the right of a pampered child.
As long as it's not particularly excessive.
