"Obito."
Lin looked at the direction Obito disappeared and whispered Obito's name softly, her eyes full of worry.
Since they first met when they were young, Lin has been taking care of Obito like a gentle sister. She has deep feelings for Obito.
In Lin's impression, Obito is a kind, passionate, and somewhat reckless young man.
After more than ten years, Lin, who recovered from death, saw Obito again, but this Obito felt strange to her.
Lin learned from Kakashi and Kizaru about the wrong things Obito had done in the past ten years, and she was angry about it. What she was angry about was the unforgivable mistakes Obito made. But besides being angry, Lin's heart was more worried about Obito and deep self-blame.
Obito became like this because of himself. Obito must be in pain now. He killed his teacher and mistress who cared about him with his own hands. Obito must be tortured in his heart.
In the eyes of outsiders, Lin is a kind and gentle girl, but in her heart, she also does not lack tenacity and courage.
Obito made a big mistake, and it was his responsibility to pull him back from the wrong path.
Must, must bring Obito back! He must be brought back to Konoha, brought to the tombstones of his teacher and his wife, brought to the teacher's children, and brought to the families of those victims, so that he can atone for the mistakes he made.
"Kakashi!" Lin looked up at Kakashi beside her with a firm expression.
Kakashi, who had been silent, nodded slightly. He understood what Lin meant.
At this moment, Kakashi's thoughts were almost the same as Lin's. He also felt that he had an obligation to bring Obito back.
"Your Sharingan belongs to Obito, and you can also open that space." Kizaru reminded him proactively.
Hearing the reminder, Kakashi also reacted. At this stage, he could already actively turn on the kaleidoscope and use the abilities granted by the kaleidoscope.
Kakashi looked at the direction Obito left and focused his chakra on his Sharingan.
As the chakra gathered, in front of Kakashi's sight, where Obito left, the space began to twist and rotate, as if there was an invisible black hole absorbing and pulling on the surrounding space.
At this time, Kizaru walked forward slowly and reached the extreme point where the spatial rotation gathered. "The spatial ability is so terrifying!"
"Kizaru-senpai, be careful!" Kakashi was worried that Kizaru would be accidentally injured by the twisted space.
"Found it." Kizaru looked at the extreme point, and a lightsaber appeared in his hand.
Invisible energy wrapped around the lightsaber. Kizaru held the lightsaber in his hand, pierced the tip of the sword to the extreme, and then slashed downwards.
The space in front of Kizaru was like a fragile white paper, cut open directly by the lightsaber.
"Everyone, let's go in!" Kizaru felt Obito's breath through the torn space cracks.
Kizaru's operation really dumbfounded the others, so much so that after Kizaru spoke, the others were stunned for a few seconds before they reacted.
Nagato, who had been standing by silently, was the first to react. He did not walk directly into the space crack, but walked to Konan's side.
"Xonan, please wait for us here!" Nagato was concerned and did not want Xiaonan to enter an unknown alien space.
"No, I have to go." Xiaonan said firmly.
No matter what, the feud between Konan and Obito has not yet been settled. She must see with her own eyes that Obito, the bastard who indirectly caused Yahiko's death, will either come to an end or change his ways with tears in his eyes.
Seeing Konan's insistence, Nagato didn't try to persuade him any more. He understood Konan's thoughts.
"We will take action together later." Nagato warned.
"I know." Xiaonan smiled slightly at Nagato, and then said, "Don't underestimate me, Nagato."
While the two were talking, Lin, who was standing next to Kakashi, had already walked to Kizaru's side and in front of the space crack.
"Kakashi, let's go in!" Lin turned to Kakashi who was following behind her.
After saying that, Lin stepped into the crack without hesitation.
In the different space belonging to Obito, Obito stood on a platform made of stones, one hand covering the half of his body that had been crushed by the boulder, and he was breathing heavily.
Seeing Lin again, Obito felt surprised and panicked, but these emotions were all swallowed up by another emotion.
anger! Endless anger burned in Obito's heart.
Unforgivable, unforgivable! Who dragged Lin into this hell again?
In Obito's eyes, the world he was in was hell, and he didn't want to see an angel like Lin fall into hell again.
The angry Obito raised his head. He felt fluctuations in the alien space. He saw a bright light not far ahead, and then this light tore a crack in the space.
"Kakashi!" Obito said in a low voice.
Only Kakashi, who has his own Sharingan, can find this space. Obito stared at the crack in space in front of him and stood up straight again.
Under Obito's gaze, one foot crossed the crack and entered a different space. Obito could tell the identity of the person at first sight.
"Lin" This time, Obito became even more angry. That bastard Kakashi actually sent Lin in in such a dangerous way.
What did that guy think of Lin? Does he want to break his promise to himself again?
This time, Obito did not continue to escape. He quickly stepped forward and reached out to grab Lin's hand that had just been extended.
Because she was still a teenage girl when she died, Rin's hands were small, and in the hands of the grown-up Obito, they were like a child's hands.
Obito held Lin's hand tightly, as if he was worried that if he let go, Lin would disappear.
Obito, who was not sure how long the space crack could last and was worried about Lin's injury, exerted a little force and quickly pulled Lin in.
Lin, who was unprepared, was pulled by Obito and bumped directly into Obito's body.
Letting out a low groan, Lin looked up and saw Obito wearing a mask.
"It's too dangerous." Obito said as calmly as possible, suppressing his inner impulses and emotions.
"Obito, take off your mask!" Lin looked at Obito's one eye and said encouragingly.
Obito took a half step back and shook his head, "Lin, go back! I have something I must do."
"Obito, you weren't like this before! The Obito I remember is a kind and optimistic young man. He will get frustrated when encountering difficulties, but he never gives up. He is always so positive." Lin knew that Obito said that The so-called things that must be done.
Escape reality and create an illusory dream where only the victors can win! This is a concept that Obito would never agree with before.
"Lin, you don't understand! I just want to open up a new era for you and everyone in this world, a new world without losers and hatred." Obito, who had been brainwashed for a long time, still insisted on his own ideas .
If Obito was initially willing to obey Madara's arrangement, it was because he wanted to create a world with only Lin.
After so many years of growth, Obito has a more open mind based on this foundation. He wants to create a world where everyone is a winner.
Because he has experienced pain, Obito hopes to save other people in his own way, even if his way is not recognized by the saved.
What does it have to do with you if I save you?
Seeing how stubborn Obito was, Lin took a step forward and waved her right hand forward, giving Obito a hard slap in the face when he was caught off guard.
It was the first time he saw Lin so angry and the first time he was slapped by Lin. Obito didn't react at all and his mask was knocked off.
"Lin," Obito stared blankly at Lin, who was pressing her lips tightly in front of him and looking very angry.
"Why? Why did you become like this? You killed Minato-sensei and Kushina-san, and killed so many people in the village. Isn't that enough? What qualifications do you have to make decisions for others? If you want to dream, just Do it alone! You coward!" Lin was really angry. She was angry that the once kind-hearted Obito had turned into this.
This was the first time Obito had seen Lin so angry. Faced with Lin's accusation, Obito's throat seemed to be stuck and he couldn't say any explanation. (End of chapter)
