Oni no Kuni, Hospital.

When he opened his eyes from the bed, Obito felt that his left eye was empty, as if something was missing there.

Looking at the white ceiling, the room is filled with the smell of disinfectant water, and the room is also very simple and bright, and it is a special ward for patients to rest.

It's not a hospital ward in Konoha Village, and it can't be a makeshift ward in the Konoha Camp in the Country of Grass.

"This is ......"

Obito had no idea what this place was, the layout of the ward, and the view from the window, all of which proved that he was in this kind of place for the first time.

He covered his left eye, which was empty, and where it was invisible, wrapped in a medical bandage.

"My eyes ......"

All of a sudden, Obito recalls everything.

Everything that happened before the coma was recalled.

Lynn died.

Killed by his own hands.

Then an inexplicable guy came out of his body and took off the chakra on his left.

Then there was a sudden explosion in the forest, and he was holding Rin's body and was thrown into the shockwave generated by the explosion, and then fell unconscious.

Unnaturally, his body trembled violently, and intense remorse and pain suddenly occupied his brain, and the huge chakra subconsciously focused on the only remaining right eye.

There was some kind of incredible upheaval in the right eye, a complex kaleidoscopic pattern in the red eye, the mouth gasping for breath, and the right eye was burning with pain.

"Is that your kaleidoscope writing wheel?"

A cold voice came.

The voice was both familiar and unfamiliar to Obito, who turned his head sharply, and a man with black hair and a white lab coat was leaning against a white wall on the left side of the hospital room with his hands on his chest.

"It's been a long time, Obito. It's been almost two years, and you've grown a lot. ”

Shiraishi greeted him with a smile.

"Aren't you the one who eats soft rice?"

Obito was dumbfounded.

“……”

The corners of Shiraishi's mouth twitched.

In a sense, this imp hasn't changed at all.

"Why are you here? Where is this again? ”

Obito covered his forehead again, and his head ached.

When he raised his head again, he looked at Bai Shi's eyes with a little more vigilance.

This person is Konoha's traitorous ninja, the great enemy of Konoha and the Uchiha clan, and a dangerous S-class defector ninja wanted throughout the ninja world.

The defection incident two years ago, although he didn't know much, he also understood how much damage to Konoha was caused by Shiraishi's defection at that time.

"There's no need to be wary of me, don't worry, I won't do anything to you. But you don't seem to be aware of it at all. ”

"What?"

Obito's eyes were wary and confused, not knowing what Shiraishi was talking about.

"Look at your right eye."

Shiraishi took a mirror out of his pocket and threw it at Obito.

Obito catches the mirror and looks at himself in the mirror.

His empty left eye was wrapped in bandages, so that his whole face looked a little funny.

And the right eye doesn't know when it is already in the state of opening the writing wheel, but it is very different from the writing wheel eye he has seen.

The pattern in the red eye is not a basic magatama pattern, but a more complex and mysterious pattern.

"It's ...... Writing Wheel Eyes? Why is it like this? ”

Obito's eyes widened, staring incredulously at his right eye in the mirror.

How did your writing wheel become like this?

What happened?

Is this also a writing wheel?

"To be precise, it's a kaleidoscope writing wheel."

Shiraishi corrected the name of Obito.

"Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye!?"

Obito's face froze.

As a ninja of the Uchiha clan, although he is not a high-ranking member of the clan, he has heard of the legend of the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.

This is a legend that the Uchiha clan has had since ancient times, and according to the Uchiha clan recorded in the archives, only the Uchiha Madara brothers opened the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.

I opened the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye? This is a fantasy-like thing, so that Obito's brain can't run back quickly.

"Have you reacted?"

"It's ...... What's going on? ”

"Originally, the secret of these eyes is not usually revealed to the Uchiha people, because the method of opening the eyes is too evil and easy to breed inner darkness. But since you're an eye-opener, let's let you know. If you want to open the kaleidoscope writing wheel, the way is to kill your important people, or let important people die in front of you. ”

Hearing Shiraishi say this, Obito suddenly had a headache and began to gasp sharply with his head down.

It seems that he has already thought of the cause and effect of opening the kaleidoscope writing wheel.

Painful memories followed, and the hands holding the head trembled.

"It's because ...... Did Lin just turn it on? This kind of eye ......"

Obito squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth, and Shiraishi could remorse and self-blame from Obito's tone.

"There's no need to blame yourself, that's Lynn's own choice, if you want to say it, it's only because you have the talent to open your eyes that you'll be targeted. But it's also true that I'm using you against Madara, even though you're on the side that's being abandoned. ”

Shiraishi scratched his head a little embarrassed.

But again, Shiraishi thought to himself that he would do it anyway.

"Spotted? I remembered that the guy who took my left eye also mentioned the name 'Madara'...... What's going on here? Why are you saving me? Why did Lynn ...... at the time?"

Obito's heart was full of questions and incomprehension at the moment.

For him, Lynn's death, as well as the fact that he opened the kaleidoscope to write the wheel, are like a script carefully arranged by some people.

Since when?

The moment Lynn was captured?

No, I'm afraid that I was already being targeted earlier.

Obito recalls everything that happened before he fell into a coma, and he thought it was a normal thing, but now that he thinks about it, there are too many things that can't be explained.

As Shiraishi said, if the cause of everything is because he has the potential to open the kaleidoscope writing wheel, then many things that are not understood can be explained.

Someone wanted to get his eyes.

That strange swirl face was on him, also to get these eyes of his.

That's how it all started.

It is also the root cause of Lynn's kidnapping.

If it weren't for these eyes...... Lynn wouldn't have been kidnapped and died at her own hands.

All these troubles were caused by the writing wheel.

Obito had the urge to completely destroy the remaining kaleidoscope writing wheel.

It was because of these eyes that Lynn was implicated in his death.

This is the culprit.

His face suddenly darkened, and he had a will to die.

I feel that without Lynn's world, there is no point in living alone in the world.

Just as Obito was expressing this thought on his face, Shiraishi walked quickly and slammed Obito's head.

Obito suddenly woke up from suicidal thoughts, covered his head, and because it was too painful, tears rolled in his eyes, and glared at Shiraishi fiercely with murderous eyes.

Damn, why is this bastard hitting me on the head so hard?

If you hit it so hard, you will definitely lose your brain and become a stupid person completely!

"What are you doing knocking me on the head?"

Obito asked viciously.

"You just wanted to kill yourself, didn't you?"

Shiraishi asked.

"So what? It's okay with you, who eats soft rice, right? ”

"No, I just want to say that if you die now, I will have to take care of Lin myself in the future."

"What?"

Obito didn't react, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his head, and he looked at Shiraishi in disbelief.

"You—you're saying that Lynn didn't die?"

The surprise came so suddenly, it made him a little incoherent with excitement.

"I'm out of danger at the moment, and it's hard to say when I'll wake up."

Shiraishi said as he stared at Obito.

"You're not lying to me, are you? It couldn't be, I remember that my kunai did stab Lynn to the point. ”

Obito shook his head, a little unconvinced, he was very willing that what Shiraishi said was true, but his kunai did hit Lin's vital point directly at that time, how could Lin survive?

"I won't get any good from lying to you. But there is also a problem, I did use medical ninjutsu to save Rin from the brink of life and death, but ......"

Shiraishi didn't speak.

"But what?"

Obito is tight.

"Come and see for yourself, it's in the next room, and you're awake now."

Shiraishi pointed to the ward next to him and said to Obito.

Without saying a word, Obito quickly got off the hospital bed, still wearing a hospital gown, and ran out of the ward barefoot.

Sure enough, on the door of the next ward, I saw a door sign with the words 'Nohara Rin' written on it.

Obito suppressed the excitement in his heart and gently pushed open the hidden door.

Like the ward where Obito is located, it is a high-class ward for single use, and a ward for injured and important people.

In the ward, a girl about Obito's age was sitting on a hospital bed, the atmosphere around her was very quiet, she turned her head, and was looking out through the open window.

"Lynn ......"

Obito saw this familiar figure, his voice trembled, and he called out the girl's name.

When the girl heard the voice, she slowly turned her head and saw Obito with an excited face, and did not show the gentle smile she used to have as Obito imagined, and her eyes revealed a deep look of doubt.

"Well, who are you? Do you know me? ”

Obito was like a lightning strike, and his body stiffened at the door of the ward.

At this time, Bai Shi passed past Obito's side, entered the ward, put a bottle of medicine on the counter next to the bed, and said to Lin: "Take this bottle of medicine once a day at noon, two pills at a time, and you will be discharged from the hospital in about half a month." Until then, it's okay to go for a walk outside, but try not to exercise vigorously. ”

"Okay, Shiraishi-senpai, I see."

Lin nodded, her smile very pure and tranquil.

"How's it going, still can't you remember the past?"

Shiraishi asked.

Lin shook her head and frowned rather distressedly: "No, I still can't remember anything." I remember my name very well, but I don't remember other things very clearly. Every time I think about it, my head hurts inexplicably. ”

"Really?" Shiraishi paused for a moment, then said with a smile: "If you can't think of it, forget it, don't force yourself too much." ”

"Yes."

"You have a good rest now, I'll go first, remember to take the medicine on time."

Shiraishi nodded, turned around and walked to the door of the ward, patted Obito's shoulder, and brought him out by the way.

Lin watched the two leave, her face was flat, and she continued to turn her head to look out the window.

The gentle breeze blowing from the window makes people feel extremely comfortable and feel reborn.

◎

"Hey, eat soft rice, what's wrong with Lyn? Why is it ......"

Following Shiraishi all the way to the rooftop of the hospital, Obito couldn't wait to ask questions, his face was extremely anxious.

"As you can see, Lynn has amnesia now."

Unlike Obito's restlessness, Shiraishi replied lightly.

"Amnesia?"

Seeing that Lin didn't know himself just now, Obito had already guessed, but the facts that Shiraishi said still made Obito difficult to accept.

"That's right. Probably because of guilt and feeling shameless to face you, I chose to close myself. ”

Shiraishi sighed.

"Guilty?"

Obito looked dazed.

"She had the selfish intention to die under your misery, leaving you alone to suffer the pain of killing your friends. That's where her guilt and self-reproach lie. The kind of pain you face will last a lifetime compared to the pain she gets in a moment, she thought at the time. She couldn't forgive herself for this selfish behavior. ”

Shiraishi said.

Obito's breathing became very rapid, his heart seemed to be very painful, and he clutched his chest and whispered, "I don't mean to blame Lin...... The reason why it became like this is because of my eyes that Lynn is being targeted. ”

Shiraishi walked up to Obito and looked directly into Obito's eyes full of remorse.

"Because of this, you are too tolerant of everything about her, so the moment Lin died, she felt guilty and chose to close her heart and couldn't look directly at her selfish self."

“……”

Obito fell silent.

“…… Is there no way to recover? ”

Obito still felt unwilling.

"It's Lynn's own choice, if you think it's a good thing for Lynn to recover that memory."

Shiraishi's words left Obito speechless.

Indeed, recovering that part of her memory is not necessarily a good thing for Lynn.

All the pain is borne by him, and he doesn't want to let Rin get hurt more, that's what Obito thinks now.

For him, the fact that Lynn is alive is the greatest salvation in his heart.

"Lynn's business aside...... What do you plan to do next? ”

Shiraishi asks about Obito's next steps.

"My plans?" Obito was stunned for a moment, then pondered and replied, "I want to take Rin back to Konoha because I'm a ninja of Konoha after all, and Kakashi is waiting for me." I've opened the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye now, and it must be very important to the village. ”

"Do you really think so?"

"Of course."

"Are you trying to kill Lynn then?"

Shiraishi's questioning made Obito slightly stunned.

How did he become a frame-up when he brought Rin back to Konoha by himself?

This is a bit too alarmist.

"What do you mean?"

"The reason why Lin wanted to kill himself was because he had been implanted with the Seven Tails in his body, and he was put under a spell that could not harm himself. Someone wanted to control her and attack Konoha with the Seven Tails inside her, and Rin wanted to stop all of this, so she decided to die at your hands. ”

Shiraishi gives a brief account of what happened, so that Obito understands why Rin wants to die under his kunai in that situation.

In that case, it was the only choice she could make.

"What does this have to do with me and Rin returning to Konoha?"

Obito doubts.

"The Seven Tails is an internationally recognized fact that the Tailed Beast was assigned to Takikure Village by the first Hokage Senju Pillar during the first Five Shadows Conference. If Rin returns to Konoha in order not to have a diplomatic conflict with Takikure Village, and to avoid the rest of the Ninja Village from criticizing Konoha verbally, what do you think will happen to Lin? ”

Shiraishi reminded Obito word by word.

"What's going on?"

Obito swallowed in fear.

"Rin will be taken over by Takikure Village, and then the Seven Tails will be withdrawn. And the human pillar force is sucked away, and the tailed beast can only die. ”

"It can't be that serious, can it?"

With the soil heart tightened.

Obito had heard a little about the tailed beast and knew that it was a very powerful weapon, but he didn't know much about the rest of the things.

If the human pillar force is sucked away, the tailed beast will die, and it is not clear whether the soil is brought to the soil.

But he didn't dare to risk Lynn's life to try uncertain and dangerous things, it was true.

"You can take Lynn back and try it, I'm sure it's going to happen. When the time comes, even if I have the ability to revive the breath of life, I will never be able to bring the dead back to life. ”

Obito stopped talking, he didn't dare to bet.

Once the bet is lost, Konoha hands Rin over to Takikure Village for his own safety, extracts the Seven Tails from his body and dies, and Obito feels that he will never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

It is precisely because of the pain of loss that I understand the preciousness of the lost and regained.

At the moment when Lynn died, the whole world seemed to collapse, and she felt that there was no place for her in this world, and life was no longer fun.

At that time, Obito understood one thing, that is, for himself, what Hokage's dream was, and what protected the village, was not as important as Rin's finger.

"So what do I do now?"

Obito's mind was very confused.

"Stay here with peace of mind, you were calculated, and Lynn was taken captive, in the final analysis, you yourself are too weak. If you want to protect Lin, you have to make good use of the new writing wheel eye that was opened because of Lin. ”

"Can you protect Lin with this kaleidoscope writing wheel?"

A bright light flashed in Obito's eyes.

"Of course, no matter how you say it, this is also the supreme pupil technique of the Uchiha clan, which is essentially different from the ordinary Magatama Writing Wheel Eye. I will personally teach you how to use this power. ”

"Huh?"

Something is wrong.

Hearing that Shiraishi was going to teach himself to use the writing wheel, Obito's face immediately became suspicious.

"Aren't you a medical ninja, how are you going to teach me how to use the Sharingan?"

"I also know a little bit about the writing wheel eye, and it's more than enough to teach you this kind of rookie Uchiha to use the writing wheel eye."

"I always feel suspicious. You just said that when Rin returns to Konoha, she will be handed over by the village to Takikure Village, so you are not lying to me, right? ”

Suspicious of the earth.

"Even if it's really lying to you, is it really happy for her if Lin Wanwan touches the scene in Konoha and recalls the past?"

Shiraishi smiled and asked Obito rhetorically.

Obito stared at Shiraishi seriously, and always felt that the word 'insidious' was written on Shiraishi's face.

"I know, tell me after the cause and effect of the incident, I need to calm down and think about something now."

Obito was in a bit of a bad mood and went down the stairs.

Shiraishi didn't keep the soil, what should have been said has already been said, and the rest is better for him to calm down by himself.

He put his hand in the pocket of his white coat, and the wind from the roof of the building blew Shiraishi's hair.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Shi looked to the side, and a figure appeared there at some point, with a cold and beautiful face, and long black hair fluttering in the wind, it was Liuli.

"Uchiha Since the Uchiha Madara brothers, there has been no third person to open the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye for decades, and I didn't expect that now a twelve-year-old child will directly transition from the second magatama writing wheel eye to the kaleidoscope stage. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's unbelievable. ”

Ruri let out a long breath, and the look in her eyes was very complicated.

She has a strong pupil power that is not inferior to the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye in her confidence in her three-hook jade writing wheel eye, but in the level of the writing wheel eye, being surpassed by a twelve-year-old junior is really a little difficult for her, an Uchiha ninja who has always been known as a genius, to accept.

"It can only be said that he has a special talent for opening his eyes, otherwise Madara wouldn't have been staring at him all the time."

Shiraishi replied.

As for saying that Obito is the third clansman to open the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye in the visible history of the Uchiha clan, this sentence may not be correct.

Shiraishi knew that in his hands, there was also a pair of kaleidoscope writing wheels whose ownership was unknown.

Strictly speaking, the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye with soil is the fourth pair.

Of course, this is not entirely accurate, because the Uchiha clan has a long history, and the ancestors can be traced back to a thousand years ago, and in this thousand years of history, there may have been Uchiha people who opened the kaleidoscope writing wheel, but it is not clearly recorded in the historical documents of the Uchiha.

"Am I a little old?"

Ruri asked suddenly, staring directly at Shiraishi.

Bai Shi coughed and responded with a smile: "How come, Liuli, you are only less than twenty-two years old this year, and you are still very young and beautiful." Obito is only a very small exception to the Uchiha clan and cannot be a universal representative. Moreover, opening these eyes too early is not necessarily a good thing. ”

Opening the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel at the age of twelve is indeed an incredible thing.

When Ruri was twelve years old and just graduated from ninja school, the writing wheel eye was only awakened to the stage of Ergota.

"It's really not a good thing to open the kaleidoscope writing wheel too early, if it weren't for the fact that the little girl named Lin was alive, what terrible things he would have done was really unpredictable. Be mindful of what you teach him. ”

Ruri's face became serious.

Now Obito's mood is stable, and it is because Lin is not dead that he gradually suppresses the negative emotions of Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel.

This point, Liuli sees very clearly.

"Don't worry, I won't let him mess around. I plan to take Lin as a disciple, only then can I use him with confidence. ”

It may seem a bit despicable to do so, but Shiraishi thinks it is necessary to put a chain around Obito's neck.

Until the darkness in Obito's heart is removed, this chain will be the best tool to suppress the darkness in his heart and prevent him from going berserk.

And the best person to control the earthy chains, there is no doubt that only Lin can do such a job.

Only Lin can do a good job of guiding Obito, so that Obito knows that it is a trap, which is restricting his freedom, and also makes him willing to be bound.

"By the way, that little girl, did she really lose her memory?"

Before leaving, Ruri asked such a question out of curiosity.

Shiraishi stood there without speaking, and only after a long time did he slowly speak: "Ruri, everyone has a memory that they can't look back on. It takes a lot of courage to be strong enough to survive in that situation. It no longer matters whether she is faking amnesia, or if she is really amnesia. ”

Because even the party concerned chose to forgive Lin for her selfishness at that time, as an outsider, she was not qualified to meddle in this matter.

The best solution is to leave the rest of the matter to the two parties to communicate and understand, and others will only help more and more chaotic.

◎

Konoha Nabu Uchiha Obito, Nohara Rin is included in the missing unknown file.

After Kakashi returned to Konoha to report on his work, the three generations of Hokage apes were determined by the matter and the coffin.

At the same time, Hisashi, who is the Hokage, also punished Kakashi for leaving the camp without permission, and within two years, Kakashi's rewards for all the tasks he performed were confiscated.

Kakashi didn't pay any attention to any of this, and placed a clear bag on Hisashi's table.

"Hokage-sama, this is the sawdust I found in Takinokuni when I was looking for Obito, I thought it was different from ordinary wood chips, so I brought it back, maybe it has something to do with Obito's disappearance."

Kakashi's eyes were calm, after all, what he said was not a lie, but some speculative speculation.

Hinata took the transparent bag that Kakashi had handed over, opened the bag, took out some sawdust inside, looked at it carefully, and immediately his eyes widened in surprise, as if he had seen something incredible.

Kakashi...... Are you saying you found these sawdust while tracking down Uchiha Obito? ”

"Yes, Hokage-sama. Is there anything wrong with this? ”

Kakashi replied in a whisper.

"No, nothing, maybe I'm wrong."

The sun slashed his mouth and said it very easily, but his heart was extremely solemn.

Because these sawdust were too familiar to him, although some places were different, there was no doubt that this was the remnants of Mu Dun Ninjutsu.

In Konoha's research room, there are also wood chip specimens made by the original Hokage Senju Pillar with Mu Dun, and these wood chips are exactly the same as the wood chip specimens made by Mu Dun in the research room.

The first person that came to mind was Danzo.

He was wondering if the disappearance of Nohara Rin and Uchiha Obito was behind the scenes.

Because when Konoha planned the Mu Dun Awakening Plan, Tuan Zang was the person in charge.

Although it later failed, and the Mu Dun plan was banned, but whether the group collection was secretly reactivated later, Ri Slash does not know.

And at that time, the experimental subjects who failed in Mu Dun's experiment were also handed over to Tuan Zang for processing, could there be two successful individuals in it, who were secretly concealed by Tuan Zang and did not report to him?

Otherwise, why would Kakashi collect the debris of Kido outside?

In the entire ninja world, only they have the ability, and there is also basic research Mu Dun, and the rest of the ninja villages do not have such ability.

Thinking of this, Hizai's heart became heavy.

"Kakashi, remember not to say anything about this to anyone, not even Watergate."

Finally, Hizashi said earnestly to Kakashi's instructions.

Mu Dun had a lot at stake, and it might also involve Tuan Zang's calculations, and he didn't want too many people to know about it, so as not to cause unnecessary confusion.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi nodded.

Hizashi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Kakashi, although you violated the rules of the village by acting without permission this time, it is also because you are worried about the safety of your companions, so it is understandable. I feel that the time is almost up, and it is time for this letter of appointment to be issued to you. ”

As he spoke, Hisashi took out a file bag from a drawer.

Kakashi stepped forward to take it, opened the file bag, and took out the documents inside, the top piece of paper with the words 'Jonin Appointment Letter' written on it.

"It's ......"

Kakashi said in a surprised tone.

"Don't let down the trust that the village has placed in you, Kakashi. From now on, you are a member of the Konoha Shinobi. The official announcement will be made in the next few days. ”

Hizashi said solemnly to Kakashi.

"Yes."

Kakashi put away his file bag, his eyes filled with excitement.

Hizai captured this scene very well, and smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, you go back first, and the day after tomorrow, you will set off to the country of grass and meet with the water gate, and there are some special tasks for you to perform." ”

Kakashi bowed slightly to Hizashi as a sign of respect and gratitude as he walked out of the office.

Kakashi walked down the hallway outside the Hokage Building, looking out the window at the view, his mind not on the view.

Not surprisingly, the Hokage has lowered his guard against him, after the war, he can be promoted here, and maybe he can be assigned to serve in the dark department and steal important information in the dark department.

Kakashi thought about the way forward.

But if you want to return everything that happened to your father Hachiki Sakumo to the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash himself, let him try what it is like to be ruined and then die, this is not so easy to do.

Therefore, he also wants to win more trust from the Hokage, get closer to the Hokage's core system, and become a knife that the Hokage can control.

Back home, Kakashi walked to the study on the second floor, ready to put the file bag of the appointment Shinobu in the study for safekeeping.

When I got to the study, there was already a person standing inside, waiting for me to arrive.

Kakashi subconsciously pulled out the White Fang Short Knife behind his back, and entered the thunder attribute chakra, making the White Fang Short Knife emit a moon-white shimmer, and there was a fine current flowing, wary of the person who appeared in his study.

The man was dressed in a black coat, the right side of his face was bandaged, his body was old, there were deep wrinkles on his face, and he was at least fifty years old.

Shimura Danzo.

Root Leader.

Kakashi's mind flashed through the identity of the person who appeared in his study.

Danzou stared at Kakashi's guarded figure and spoke in a gloomy tone with an expressionless face:

"Kakashi Hachiki, do you want to know the real story of your father's Konoha White Fang's suicide?"

Hearing Danzo say this, Kakashi knew that another chance had come for him.

After all, to ruin the three generations of Hokage, there is no more suitable help than this ninja darkness.

For Kakashi, this was a godsend.
