[Konoha Year 48.]
[That year, many Genin who had recently graduated became Chunin.]
[And then rushed to the battlefield.]
[Among them were many who graduated early, none of them older than ten years old.]
[And among them, the Uchiha's sole anomaly, the dead last Uchiha Obito, also became a Chunin.]
[Tsunade's philosophy was also fully developed at this time.]
[It was personally overseen and hosted by the Third Hokage.]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Uchiha Obito, Rin Nohara, and Kakashi Hatake are in one squad, and their guiding Jonin is Minato Namikaze. This way, I don't have to worry about Obito anymore.]
Seeing this, Obito's expression changed drastically beneath the Kannabi Bridge base.
"No, I have to speak up!"
"No!"
Black Zetsu immediately stopped it.
"Idiot, if you speak up, and people notice the quotation marks, you'll be exposed!"
"Hmph! Based on what those people know about me, if I don't speak up now to refute or even boast about activating the Sharingan and so on, then I wouldn't be me!"
Although he said that, Obito still watched quietly, not speaking in the chat room.
However, he did not know that Kakashi's attention was not on the large screen with the black border at that moment.
Instead, he was still focused on the death of the White Fang.
Besides Kakashi, those who understood him were Minato and Kushina.
But those two also didn't have the time to bother with him.
As for Rin Nohara, she had not spoken at all yet.
['dead last Uchiha'... Is there really such a person?]
['Kakashi Hatake, Konohas White Fang's son...']
['Rin Nohara, Medical Ninja.']
['Looking at it this way, Minato Namikaze's subordinates, aside from Rin Nohara, are all problem Ninja.']
[Naruto silently made a note of the three of them.]
[The focus is on Kakashi Hatake and Uchiha Obito.]
[The Kikyo Pass Battle erupts.]
[Shiranui Genma, Might Guy, and Ebisu's squad encounter the Hidden Mist Village's Seven Ninja Swordsmen.]
[Might Guy's father, Might Duy, arrived in time, activated the Eight Gates Formation, covering the three's retreat. At the same time, Might Duy relied on his own strength to fight the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, resulting in four deaths and three escapes.]
['The Eight Gates Formation?']
['Might Duy seems to be only a Genin and only knows Ninjutsu... very weak, but relying on the Eight Gates Formation, he actually beat the Hidden Mist Village's super elite into such a state... Perhaps, this Eight Gates Formation would be very suitable for Rock Lee.']
['At this time, they were only twelve years old, right?']
['Heh heh, it seems not a single Hokage remembers the original intention of creating Konoha. No wonder Uchiha Madara left Konoha directly. What a pity. If Uchiha Madara had been able to take some of his clan members with him back then, it would have been great.']
['Uh... I should say, if he had been a little slower, perhaps he would have caught up.']
Senju Hashirama: Alas...
Senju Tobirama: "I admit this point."
Uchiha Izuna: Yo yo yo, someone like you actually admits a mistake?
Senju Tobirama: "I don't want to argue with you right now."
Uchiha Izuna: Hmph! The beginning was so good, yet you managed to mess it up into the current state. You two brothers really take the cake.
Uchiha Izuna: I see it. Once this comparative viewing is over, Konoha will be besieged by the Four Great Shinobi Villages!
Uchiha Izuna: Am I right?
The Three Kage: "..."
Fourth Raikage: "Haha, indeed. As I said earlier, the army has already set off."
Ōnoki: "Ahem, the shame of the Ninja World, let's eliminate it together!"
Mei Terumī: "We are fighting to welcome the Ninja World's sixth Great Shinobi Village, Uzushiogakure."
Rasa: Hmph, looking at this, we can also get a piece of the pie. Hidden Sand Village, heed my command. Let's continue with Konoha Crush Plan 2!
Uchiha Izuna: Who asked you?
Rasa: ...
[Konoha Year 50, Kakashi was promoted to Jonin, becoming the youngest Jonin in Konoha's history.]
['There's some exaggeration, but one cannot deny the strength of Kakashi's talent. He truly is Konohas White Fang's son.']
[Iwagakure breaks through the Land of Grass and reaches the border of the Land of Fire.]
[The battle line is stretched.]
[Kannabi Bridge, as an important stronghold for Iwagakure, dispatched three Jonin to guard it.]
['Guard a bridge?']
['Why guard it? Isn't Iwagakure the best at Earth Release Ninjutsu?']
['It's just a bridge... Even if it's long, they could send a few more people and rebuild one quickly.']
Kurotsuchi: "You senile old man!"
Ōnoki: "..."
Ōnoki: "That was a trap. Moreover, maintaining the bridge after transporting supplies requires constantly injecting Chakra to keep the Ninjutsu holding the bridge's form."
Ōnoki: "That's no small burden on logistics."
Kurotsuchi: "I don't care, you're senile! Hurry up and step down for me!"
Ōnoki: "..."
Ōnoki: "You infuriate me! Naruto, hurry and come to Iwagakure and help this old man deal with her!"
Naruto: "???"
Uzumaki Naruto: "Me?"
[The Battle of Kannabi Bridge is entrusted to Minato's squad.]
[However, due to the presence of a Jonin in the squad.]
[Kakashi Hatake was appointed as the squad leader.]
[Minato Namikaze, meanwhile, was needed to support the front lines.]
[The record here is very detailed, as it concerns the Sharingan in the eyes of others.]
[Minato's squad was ambushed, and Rin Nohara, who was the Medical Ninja, was abducted.]
[Kakashi Hatake insisted on his mission-first principle, deciding to abandon Rin Nohara and prioritize completing the mission.]
[He got into an argument with Uchiha Obito.]
[The two went their separate ways.]
[Ultimately, Kakashi Hatake still came, and Uchiha Obito also activated his Sharingan, achieving a qualitative leap in strength.]
[However, after successfully rescuing Rin, Kakashi Hatake, who had lost one eye saving Obito, suffered a reopened wound during the escape, affecting Kakashi's judgment, and he was subsequently struck by a rock.]
[And Obito, in order to save Kakashi, was crushed by a giant boulder, flattening half of his body.]
[Coincidentally, it was the left side; his left eye remained intact. The eye Kakashi lost was also his left eye.]
[Before dying, he gave his left Sharingan as a Jonin gift to Kakashi, instructing him to protect Rin well.]
[...]
[There are very detailed records here.]
[After this battle, the Uchiha understood the entire situation and did not pursue the matter of Kakashi possessing the Sharingan.]
['Hmm?']
[Seeing this, Naruto frowned again.]
['It seems Uchiha Obito was in a one-sided love, while Rin Nohara was more attracted to the genius Kakashi.']
['But... isn't this too much of a coincidence?']
Naruto's inner monologue caused Obito to feel slightly defeated.
But that was the reality.
['The Masked Man... seems to only show his right eye... There's a problem, there must be a problem!']
['But that Masked Man has the Mangekyo Sharingan, and he is also the culprit who caused the Nine-Tails Rampage... And also...']
[Naruto's gaze instantly turned cold.]
['The culprit who murdered my mother!']
['It shouldn't be Uchiha Obito. My mother cared for him so much, and he was a Konoha Ninja, and...']
[Naruto took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.]
[However, a thought kept flashing through his mind.]
[What if Uchiha Obito didn't die?!]
[If he didn't die... and then activated the Mangekyo Sharingan...]
[Then, the only one who fits the identity requirements of the Masked Man, besides the supposedly deceased Uchiha Madara, could only be him.]
['Wait!']
['Could these two possibly be connected?!']
['At this time, Uchiha Madara is already old, Uzumaki Mito is already dead... Uchiha Madara is so ancient...']
['The Masked Man's voice does not sound old...']
['Uchiha... Obito?!']
Uchiha Obito: "..."
Uchiha Madara: "..."
