Days later.
Obito came to Konoha Village alone.
Seeing the completely transformed Konoha Village, Obito was a bit bewildered.
"Is this Konoha Village? Why does it look like Rain Ninja Village?"
Konoha New District in Konoha Village was filled with towering buildings, indeed resembling the high towers of Rain Ninja Village, but compared to Rain Ninja Village's cyberpunk-style towers, Konoha Village's buildings were more aesthetically pleasing.
Obito didn't bother with Konoha's scenery; his purpose for coming to Konoha this time was singular: to find Kakashi.
He casually found a few Ninja, and after a brief interrogation with genjutsu, Obito learned Kakashi's location.
Currently, Kakashi was the captain of Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze's guard.
Though called a guard, it was essentially a runner's position.
Konoha no longer had the Anbu system; instead, a Public Security system had emerged.
The Public Security system's purpose was to ensure the safety of all Konoha, including the former duties of the Anbu.
Thus, Minato Namikaze directly abolished the Anbu.
Some former Anbu or Root members joined the Public Security system.
Others, gathered by Shoyo Hinata, jointly opened a food delivery company.
After the Anbu was abolished, Shoyo Hinata found Naruto, wanting to ask if he could join Hokage-sama's guard.
Actually, Shoyo Hinata's name was already on the Hokage Guard list.
However, he was a bit unsure of himself, so he sought out Naruto, hoping to pull some strings.
But Naruto's words left him somewhat bewildered.
"Hmm? Want to be a Hokage Guard?"
"What are you thinking? Being a guard for my dad is just being a runner, isn't it?"
"Do you think he needs your protection?"
"Instead of being a runner, you might as well take advantage of the current boom and quickly start a company! Like a food delivery company."
"It's also an area you're good at."
Naruto then explained the business model and strategies of a food delivery company to Shoyo Hinata.
And so, Shoyo Hinata founded the first food delivery company, delivering meals.
At this moment, as Obito walked down the street, he could see Ninja with delivery boxes running on the road.
They occasionally shouted phrases like "Watch out for the delivery! Get out of the way, I'm going to be late!"
Obito had no interest in the unfamiliar Konoha; soon, he spotted Kakashi below the new Hokage office building.
Kakashi still wore his mask, but instead of Ninja attire, he wore a sharp suit.
A tall figure, white hair, a sharp suit, and a cool mask.
At this moment, Kakashi's image could be described as very handsome.
Many passing girls took out their phones to secretly photograph Kakashi.
That's right, ever since Naruto introduced the computer virtual helmet, he had also promoted many other electronic products like mobile phones and tablet computers.
Anyway, with the assembly line readily available, all Grey Wolf needed was a slight adjustment to produce whatever was desired.
Seeing such a popular Kakashi, Obito was furious.
"Damn it... this damned bastard is still so popular!"
In Obito's mind, Kakashi was never as handsome as him.
If he was more handsome than him, why would he wear a mask? The reason was simple: he was too ugly.
The old Kakashi was popular because of his mysteriousness, but now? It must be because of that suit he was wearing!
Kakashi's black suit, both in style and aura, completely overshadowed the black robe Obito was currently wearing.
"No way... I need to get a suit too!"
Obito could lose to anyone, but he absolutely could not lose to Kakashi, that treacherous bastard.
Meeting Kakashi soon, Obito decided to overpower Kakashi in both strength and aura.
So, a suit was very necessary!
Soon, Obito found a clothing store selling suits on the commercial street.
Besides suits, there were also many other shops selling strange clothes and shoes.
These clothes and shoes were all modern in style, not only good-looking but also very comfortable, so they quickly became popular throughout Konoha.
Currently, suits were the hardest to sell.
Seeing someone wanting to buy a suit, the shop assistant immediately showed a joyful smile and walked towards Obito.
Obito didn't say a word, directly spending money to buy the most expensive suit there.
Changing into his new suit, Obito took off his mask.
Although half of his face was disfigured, from the other half, he was still quite handsome!
"Hmm, this should be enough to crush Kakashi!"
Dressed in his new clothes, Obito found Kakashi again, then threw a stone wrapped in a pre-prepared note towards Kakashi.
After throwing the stone, Obito directly activated Kamui and went to the Konoha Cemetery.
On the other side...
Kakashi, who was directing several Hokage Guards to move office equipment, suddenly felt a gust of wind behind his head.
Without a word, he turned his head to dodge, and upon realizing it was a paper ball wrapped around a stone, Kakashi caught it with extreme speed.
The note read:
[Cemetery. Come alone. Obito.]
Seeing the name Obito, Kakashi's pupils also contracted slightly.
"It's Obito?"
Kakashi looked left and right, finding that no one was paying attention to him. He then put the note into his pocket and said to the Hokage Guards who were moving things, "I'm going out to take care of something; you all keep busy!"
With that, Kakashi's figure disappeared.
Kakashi had actually thought about informing his teacher, the Fourth Hokage, but then he remembered Obito telling him to meet him alone, so he gave up the idea.
He had already learned from the Fourth Hokage why Obito had become the way he was now.
Kakashi could say that he would never forgive himself for personally killing Rin.
Now, knowing that because of Rin's death, Obito, the optimist, had lost hope in the world and completely turned to darkness, he felt even more self-reproach.
So, Kakashi wanted to try to see if he could bring Obito back to the right path.
As long as he could make Obito turn back, it didn't matter if he died!
Konoha Cemetery.
Obito stood before the tombstone, his mind replaying Rin's every smile and frown, and Kakashi's Raikiri piercing Rin's chest.
"Obito, is that you?"
Just then, Kakashi's voice sounded behind Obito.
"You're still somewhat of a man; you didn't tell Minato Namikaze about me!"
As he spoke, Obito turned to look at Kakashi.
When Kakashi saw Obito's half-disfigured face, his heart also trembled.
