Kakashi vs. Obito

Kakashi's attack was extremely ruthless; his Kunai aimed directly at the Masked Man's left Rinnegan was located!

"Whoosh!!"

In a flash, the Masked Man looked up and met the sharp edge of the Kunai -on!

Now that Naruto is waiting for him in the Kamui Dimension, he definitely can't use his intangibility ability, so the Masked Man makes a decision instantly, twisting his body and tilting his face back!

"Whoosh--"

Although the Masked Man reacted extremely quickly, Kakashi's Kunai still grazed his mask!

Then, pulled by the Masked Man's backward movement, Kakashi's Kunai cleaved the white mask on his face in two!

"Click... click..."

The two halves of the mask fell off, revealing the Masked Man's true face!

That was an extremely asymmetrical face!

The left side of his face has smooth skin and can be considered handsome.

But the right side of his face is extremely distorted and covered in scars!

Kakashi was stunned when he saw the Masked Man's face.

Even though he hadn't seen his old friend for many years, and even though the friend's appearance had changed drastically, Kakashi still recognized the person at a glance!

"Obito! (Obito!)"

"You..."

Earlier, Shinki had told Kakashi that the Masked Man's eyes possessed the same Chakra as his own.

At that time, Kakashi had already suspected the Masked Man's identity.

But he refused to believe that his comrade, who aspired to become Hokage, would collude with the Akatsuki...

But when the Kunai in his hand sliced open the mask, everything became clear!

Instantly, Kakashi felt as if something was choking him.

He has endured too much over the years.

Her father died when she was young.

During the mission, his two companions, Obito and Rin, both died because of him.

After that, even the powerful Minato-sensei died sealing the Nine-Tails...

I don't know when it happened, but I've become all alone.

Obito looked at Kakashi's increasingly complex expression, his voice devoid of joy or sorrow. "Kakashi, we meet again."

The next moment!

"Whoosh--!"

He used his Dōjutsu to open a spatial vortex, releasing Naruto, Karin, and their group from the Kamui Dimension!

Then, the spatial vortex flared up again, sucking Kakashi in!

Obito followed closely behind, his figure disappearing into the distance!

At this moment, Karin and the other two were still somewhat confused above the Ten-Tails' head.

Suigetsu: "Finally released! Thank you for nature's gift! ୧⍢⃝୨"

Karin: "What do you mean by thanking nature? You should thank the Shinki. If it weren't for the Shinki discovering the Alternate Dimension portal and sending Naruto inside, you..."

Suigetsu looked speechlessly at Karin, who was obsessed with the Shinki, and interrupted her, "Fine, fine, say whatever you want. Anyway, we're out now, and I'm going to have a good meal! ૧(●´৺`●)૭"

After speaking, Suigetsu looked around...

ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!!

"Where are we? What's that thing under our feet?! ◝₍ᴑ̑ДO͝₎◞"

"And those densely packed people below, are they all people?! ∑(✘Д✘๑)"

Naruto: "Didn't I tell you already? The Fourth Shinobi World War has begun, and we're on the battlefield right now!!"

As he spoke, Naruto placed his hands over Karin and the other two, instantly covering them in blood-red Chakra robes!

"Hey, I'll share some of your Chakra with you to help fight the monster! ❛‿˂̵✧"

At the same time.

Couple's space (crossed out).

In the Kamui Dimension!

"Clang--!"

The crisp sound of metal clashing rang out continuously!

Kakashi, possessing a high level of Ninja resolve, had recovered and was now fighting Obito.

Obito shouted as he fought, "Too weak! Too weak! Kakashi!"

The words had barely left his mouth!

"Whoosh!"

He dodged Kakashi's Kunai with his agility and kicked Kakashi in the stomach!

With a loud "bang!", Kakashi flew backward more than ten meters before coming to a stop!

Obito's eyes sharpened as he continued, "Kakashi, is this all you've got?"

"Or are you feeling guilty about what happened back then?"

"Because you didn't complete what I entrusted to you? Because you didn't protect Lin?"

"I..." Kakashi hesitated, then stopped.

"Ridiculous!!" Obito's voice was laced with sarcasm.

"I knew all along that Lin had taken the initiative to approach your Lightning Blade."

"Rin was kidnapped by Kirigakure and forced to become the Three-Tails' Jinchūriki, and you rescued her... but this played right into Kirigakure's hands."

"Because what Kirigakure originally planned was to unleash the Three-Tails within Rin after she returned to Konoha, using it to attack Konoha! At the time, Kirigakure even sent pursuers to relentlessly chase you in order to deceive you..."

"Lin discovered this, so she used the Lightning Blade you released against the enemy to commit suicide."

"To protect Konoha..."

"..."

"To me, Lin's life wasn't meant to end, so the Lin who died at your hands was an imposter!"

"And you, who failed to protect Lin, are also an imposter!"

"What has repeatedly led to this situation is the Ninja system, the villages, the Ninjas, and this world!"

"I've lost hope in this fake world!!"

"Kakashi, you don't need to feel guilty. What I truly hate is this hellish world."

"Aren't you the same? You've been suffering all these years, at my grave, at Lin's grave..."

"Let it go. Don't be tormented by the suffering of the past. In the world of Genjutsu, Lin and I are just like we used to be..."

"Only by abandoning reality and everything in this world can one attain happiness."

Obito finished speaking, Kakashi vaguely saw Obito, the boy with the silly grin on his face, and the gentle Rin appear beside him again...

A moment of confusion flashed in Kakashi's eyes, but the next instant, his resolve returned!

"Genjutsu, dispel!"

The extra boys Obito and Rin from the Alternate Dimension have disappeared!

At this moment, Kakashi's eyes were more determined than ever before!

"Obito, in the world of Ninjas, those who break the rules are trash, but those who don't cherish their comrades are even worse than trash!"

"And those who abandon reality and the memories of their companions are even worse!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Kakashi had already clashed with Kunai again, Obito in hand!

This time, Kakashi was no longer as passive as before, and the two fought to a standstill!

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Earth Release · Earth Style: Earth-Style Wall!"

Clang clang--!

After a fierce battle, a panting Kakashi imbued his arm with Lightning Release Chakra and unleashed Lightning Blade, accelerating his charge towards Obito!

Obito, not to be outdone, swung out a Black Rods and thrust it forward!

In a flash, their bodies intertwined!

"Pfft!!"

"Tick-tock... tick-tock..."

Blood dripped down as Kakashi's Lightning Blade pierced straight through Obito's left chest!

Correspondingly, Obito's Black Rods was also plunged into Kakashi's chest!!

Kakashi's hand trembled slightly as he withdrew it from his former friend's body...

"I'm sorry, Obito, I have to stop you..."
