Chapter 87 Obito and Kakashi, the Seals of Opposition

Chapter 87 Obito and Kakashi, the Seals of Opposition

Inside the laboratory, the lights shone down, casting shadows of varying depths on the table piled with various rolls and experimental equipment.

Only Tobirama and Orochimaru remained in the room, their faces serious as they pondered the pressing problems at hand.

In the midst of the silence, Orochimaru finally spoke, his tone revealing a mixture of caution and complexity:

"Lord Tobirama, regarding Kakashi... there's actually one more thing that explains the interesting changes that occurred after the Sharingan mutated."

Tobirama paused slightly, then slowly raised his head and calmly said, "Speak."

After a brief hesitation, Orochimaru succinctly recounted to Tobirama how Kakashi, on his way to Kirigakure, had sensed Tobirama's perilous situation through his Sharingan.

After he finished speaking, he watched Tobirama's reaction, wanting to see how this wise Hokage would view this phenomenon.

However, after listening, Tobirama's expression did not show any obvious surprise or astonishment. He simply nodded slightly and said calmly:

"I'm not surprised."

The reason it wasn't surprising was that Tobirama had already deduced the possible situation when Kakashi rescued him from Kirigakure.

"So, what's the conclusion?"

"Perhaps... this so-called pollution of the Sharingan is not simply manipulation and deception, but an extreme amplification and enhancement of the holder's deepest desires and obsessions."

He paused slightly, his tone becoming more serious...

Orochimaru then spoke up: "This enhancement manifests in Danzo as an extreme amplification of his desires and ambitions, making him even more ferocious; but in Kakashi, it gradually dissipates his original inner confusion and hesitation."

In the eyes of Tobirama and Orochimaru...

Compared to Danzo, Kakashi's Sharingan mutation was perhaps more mild, resulting in an antibody effect similar to serum, thus preventing him from being completely controlled by the Sharingan's curse.

"Among those initially corrupted by the Sharingan, only Kakashi and Danzo were not from the Uchiha clan. The difference between the two of them..."

This may be the key factor that determines the final outcome.

Danzo had transplanted too many Sharingan eyes, and even fused with the corpse of Uchiha Awakening, which led to the emergence of the bizarre ability of Dry Wood Release.

According to Root's investigation records, after Uchiha Awakening's body disappeared, a large number of Root members' remains were left at the scene. Moreover, it was determined that those remains were corroded by a special kind of Wood Release technique.

At this point, Tobirama frowned slightly, his tone becoming somewhat grave: "It seems our previous speculation was correct. After Danzo transplanted the First Hokage's cells, he forcibly absorbed Uchiha Abe's body, thus giving birth to the Dry Wood Release."

Orochimaru's expression turned solemn: "I have a vague guess that Danzo's current special state may become the best vessel for Uchiha Abyss's complete resurrection in the future."

Recalling his brief exchange with Danzo, Orochimaru became increasingly convinced that his hypothesis was not unfounded.

Especially when Danzo spoke to him that day, his tone and manner were almost identical to those arrogant and haughty Uchiha. Even the arrogance in his tone, which seemed to be above all others, was no different from the Uchiha he remembered.

At that time, Danzo even warned himself in a threatening tone...:

Don't even dream of reviving the Second Hokage, Tobirama.

That tone...it was so reminiscent of Danzo Uchiha.

Just as Orochimaru was deep in thought, a clear memory suddenly flooded into his mind—a message from a shadow clone he had left behind in the Land of Rice Fields.

These shadow clones were specifically created to guide Sasuke.

After reading his memories, Orochimaru sighed slightly...

Because Sasuke's recent growth rate has far exceeded Orochimaru's initial expectations.

After reading this, Orochimaru's face revealed a smile he could hardly hide: "Sasuke's progress is surprisingly rapid."

When Tobirama, who was standing nearby, heard about the Uchiha descendants, he simply snorted dismissively.

He clearly showed his indifference and disgust towards the Uchiha clan, and did not respond at all.

Meanwhile, far away in a dimly lit room in Amegakure, Nagato was coughing violently...

In the dim light, Konan looked at Nagato, who was sitting in a wheelchair, with a complicated expression. Her voice was filled with obvious worry and unease: "Nagato, are you really sure you want to transplant a White Zetsu?"

Nagato's face was slightly pale, but unusually resolute.

"The entire ninja world is on the verge of destruction. To save this world, I must risk trying every possible method."

Nagato coughed a few times: "The Uchiha clan's destruction of the ninja world should not have affected all countries..."

When the end times come, the fate of small countries will be far more tragic than that of large countries.

As the leader of Akatsuki, Nagato would never allow the people of the Land of Rain to become victims of the Uchiha clan's revenge against the ninja world.

Konan was more concerned about Nagato than the ninja world...

Although Konan remained quite wary of Black Zetsu, she ultimately had no choice but to hand over the prepared White Zetsu to Nagato.

Nagato slowly reached out his hand and gradually merged the bodies of several White Zetsu into his own body in a bizarre way.

Clearly, these White Zetsu were special individuals carefully selected by Black Zetsu. They had no ulterior motives or independent consciousness and could only serve as vessels to provide life force and chakra.

As White Zetsu was gradually absorbed by Nagato, his Rinnegan suddenly emitted a powerful wave, his eye power increasing several times over, filling the entire room with an indescribable sense of oppression.

A moment later, Nagato slowly stood up.

Although his breathing was still a little rapid, his complexion had improved significantly, as if he had regained some vitality and strength.

Seeing that Nagato had finally managed to stand up, Konan's tense nerves immediately relaxed a little.

Nagato slowly took a step forward: "Konan, I once said that only Akatsuki is the true hope for the ninja world in its final days. Now, I finally have enough power to achieve that goal."

Then Nagato looked at Konan: "You and Yahiko... are both people I need to protect."

Hearing these words, Xiao Nan's unease subsided.

Although she was still filled with worry and uncertainty about the future, she had to admit that the determination and hope in Nagato's eyes did give her a long-lost sense of security and strength.

"I understand, Nagato. No matter what, I will always stay by your side."

Nagato turned his head and gave her a rare, gentle smile: "Yes, we will witness together the day when the ninja world welcomes new hope."

In the shadows, Black Zetsu silently watched Nagato and Konan's every move.

When he saw Nagato absorb and fuse those specially made White Zetsu cells without hesitation, he finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Originally, the special White Zetsu cells he prepared for Nagato were not simply for replenishing life force and chakra; they also concealed some hidden tricks.

These hidden agents can control Nagato to unleash Rinne Tensei at crucial moments...

However, the current situation is urgent, as the ninja world is facing a huge crisis when an apocalyptic planet is about to fall.

Black Zetsu knew that it was not advisable to reveal his true intentions at this sensitive and crisis-ridden moment.

His first priority is to ensure that Nagato recovers enough power to face the deadly test that the ninja world is about to face.

As for the deeper, subsequent resurrection of the mother:

We can certainly wait until the situation stabilizes before making any plans.

Initially, when Black Zetsu realized that Uchiha Abyss's power had exceeded his original control and expectations, he was shocked and panicked.

As time went by, he gradually calmed down and began to look for opportunities in the chaos.

As Nagato's life force gradually stabilized, Black Zetsu's calculations became increasingly clear.

At least for now, his plan remains on track.

As long as the White Zetsu cells in Nagato's body remain, it means that his control over Nagato has never been interrupted.

The Forest of Death.

Kakashi walked slowly alone, his steps were very slow and seemed unusually heavy, as if he were carrying a heavy burden.

Unbeknownst to them, a leaf gently drifted down, carried on the breeze...

Obito's figure appeared silently and stood quietly in front of Kakashi.

The two remained silent, gazing at each other without a word, only a familiar yet strange emotion lingering in the air...

Everything from the past overlaps at this moment.

After a long silence, Kakashi spoke softly, "I'm sorry... Obito."

Upon hearing this, Obito shook his head slightly, a hint of relief in his eyes.

He replied slowly, "Kakashi, I'm not here to blame you."

"I know you have an unbreakable bond with Konoha, and of course you wouldn't stand idly by. The moment you attacked Danzo, I finally understood that this was the real Kakashi I remembered."

Obito's tone was calm and sincere. Recalling Kakashi's decisive sword strike, a rare hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

The once spirited and exceptionally talented young genius seemed to have finally returned completely in that instant.

Kakashi was slightly startled by Obito's words, and complex and contradictory emotions welled up in his heart once again.

"I'm truly in pain. On one side is you, on the other is Konoha, and on the other is the future of the entire ninja world. I want to help you, but I can't truly make up my mind."

Thinking of Naruto, thinking of the village...:

How could Kakashi possibly bring himself to kill them all?

Obito slowly took a step forward, moving closer to Kakashi.

The movements were very gentle, as if afraid of disturbing the friend in front of her who was suffering from inner turmoil.

Her voice carried a hint of sadness: "I know you're always struggling, wanting to help me, yet unable to accept my plan to destroy the ninja world."

As Obito spoke, he slowly took out a kunai from his pocket and quietly handed it to Kakashi.

The kunai gleamed with a cold luster under the moonlight, stinging Kakashi's eyes.

"Actually... if I died here, wouldn't you stop being so conflicted?"

Obito's voice was soft and sorrowful, carrying an indescribable helplessness and weariness.

Upon hearing this, Kakashi reached out and grabbed the kunai without hesitation, pressing the sharp blade against Obito's neck.

His hands trembled slightly: "Obito, stop testing me..."

He couldn't bear this test, and he couldn't accept ending everything between them in this way.

In response to Kakashi's actions, Obito simply took a step back.

"Kakashi, I'm not testing you. I just don't want to see you stuck in this endless struggle... But in this hopeless world, I hope you can be the one who understands me, and even supports me."

As Kakashi listened to Obito's words, his heart felt as if it were being pierced by a thousand needles.

He slowly put down the kunai in his hand, his eyes revealing weariness and helplessness, and said in a low voice, "Obito...maybe you are right, this world may indeed be terminally ill."

"I can't bear to see you walk this path alone... but at the same time, please understand me..."

"My dream is to become Hokage and protect Konoha..."

Upon hearing this, Obito looked at Kakashi, removed his spiral mask, and gave a bitter smile.

"It's because of you that I can't truly let go. But it's also because of you that I feel like I'm still alive..."

"But... I'd rather be a madman blindly moving forward!"

"Besides, my dream is... to create a world where only Rin exists!"

As Obito gradually went mad, he spoke in a low voice, a look of almost desperate resolve in his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, a scarlet Mangekyou Sharingan instantly appeared in his right eye, space began to distort violently, a pitch-black vortex instantly appeared, and the Kamui dimension was suddenly activated.

Almost simultaneously, Kakashi's left eye also quickly transformed into Mangekyou Sharingan mode, releasing its power like a tidal wave, precisely interrupting Obito's Kamui technique.

In the instant their eyes met, they both seemed to understand that this battle was inevitable.

Almost instantly, the kunai in their hands were thrown at each other at the same time. The blades, carrying a chilling killing intent, collided fiercely in mid-air, splashing out dazzling sparks.

Two figures passed each other, and in the brief silence and solemnity, their breathing could be clearly heard.

Suddenly, Obito's figure vanished from the spot!

The next moment, he appeared behind Kakashi, and countless black chains shot out from his body like a raging tide, heading straight for Kakashi.

"Kakashi!"

Obito's voice was cold and pained, as he tried his best to completely abandon his inner struggle.

"Obito!"

Kakashi let out a low growl, instantly turned around and drew his sword. The white-glowing blade sliced ​​through the air, fearlessly meeting the countless chains that came his way.

The two forces clashed head-on without yielding an inch, and the deafening crash echoed throughout the entire Death Forest.

Sparks flew fiercely between the knife and the chain, as if igniting the inextricable fate between the two.

Obito and Kakashi were both confused, unsure of what to do in the future as the influence of Uchiha Abyss intensified.

I can only choose the most primitive way to vent my confusion during this period.

That is battle.

Let's have a pure battle!

They stared intently at each other, as if they had returned to their childhood.

The two activated opposing seals.
