"You are..."
Kakashi Hatake's gaze trembled.
Kakashi Hatake did not think he had ever met the Mysterious Masked Man, yet he felt an inexplicable familiarity. His mind seemed to jolt with electricity as it instantly settled on the image of someone!
This intruder...
Looked far too much like his companion from his youth.
"Obito..."
Kakashi Hatake murmured instinctively.
The painful memories Kakashi Hatake had once not dared to revisit burst forth like bamboo shoots after rain. From the time he met Obito Uchiha, to when they became teammates, to Obito Uchiha's eventual sacrifice and burial by his own hands...
Those memories continuously battered his mind and stimulated his nerves. The ever-smiling Uchiha youngster slowly took shape in reality.
A young man around twenty years old.
His short hair was tousled. A scar marked the right side of his face, and his right eye was a bizarre Mangekyō Sharingan; the left side of his face was unscathed, but his left eye was an ordinary Sharingan.
Kakashi Hatake could not believe that the person before him was his former companion, because the other man possessed two intact eyes, even if they were somewhat asymmetrical.
Yet Kakashi Hatake did not dare deny it too quickly, because the man's features truly resembled the young Obito Uchiha too closely. If Obito Uchiha were still alive in this world, then at twenty, he surely would have looked like this man before him...
"You damned brat..."
The Mysterious Masked Man was still furious that someone had removed his mask!
The Mysterious Masked Man had never imagined that a brat could use a low-level Wood Clone to directly break the Mangekyō Sharingan technique he was so proud of!
Only by hiding behind that mask could the Mysterious Masked Man disguise himself as a major figure in the shinobi
