"Obito? You still haven't learned Chidori?"
Kakashi saw right through Obito's little scheme.
The joy Obito had felt from obtaining the Mangekyo Sharingan was instantly washed away. Embarrassed and furious, he stuck out his neck and said:
"Can you blame talent for elemental affinity?"
Seeing Kakashi walk step by step toward his own Kakashi-sensei, Naruto waved his fists and wanted to rush over to help.
"Damn it! How despicable! You're actually trying to wear him down with a relay battle!"
Obito, however, lifted Naruto up by the scruff of his neck like a chick. He sealed away all the Chakra in Naruto's body with two moves, then tossed him aside.
"What do you know? We're helping your teacher."
As Obito approached step by step, Sasuke forcefully suppressed his excitement and asked in a restrained voice, "Who exactly are you?"
Obito helplessly scratched his head.
What a headache...
"You mentioned this world in passing. What did you mean? Are you from another world?"
Sasuke made a bold guess.
Obito gave him an approving look. This kid wasn't stupid.
Compared to him, why was Minato-sensei's child so... dim-witted?
"As you can see, we're from another world. That's my partner, Kakashi Hatake."
"Essentially, your teacher and he... are the same person!"
The information in Obito's words hit the group so hard that their minds froze.
"They're both... Kakashi-sensei?"
The three of them looked at Kakashi in the distance. With a single swing of his blade, he had cleaved a mountain peak and carved a skyline into the heavens. They couldn't help swallowing.
"You dare use the Sharingan without Uchiha blood? Don't you know that a Sharingan left activated will make your Chakra drain every second of every minute?"
"You've disappointed me so much. Didn't Sakumo Hatake teach you swordsmanship?"
Kakashi's words left Kakashi Hatake silent.
The White Fang of Konoha's swordsmanship?
When he was young, he seemed to have always been proud of it...
"You're me from a Parallel World?"
Kakashi Hatake raised his head. The speed had been too great, and he had focused only on dodging. Now that he could clearly see the object in his opponent's hand, his pupils contracted violently.
Even though he knew this was himself from a Parallel World, seeing that White Fang still left his heart in turmoil.
This blade was the only inheritance his father had left him.
Unfortunately, during the Kannabi Bridge Campaign... he hadn't protected it properly, and it had been broken...
Now that he saw the blade again, his expression grew dazed.
He had lost too much in that battle: his comrades, his friends, his eye, his father's keepsake, and... his right hand, which could never be washed clean!
Kakashi's expression darkened. A flash of blades passed by, and Kakashi Hatake's gray-white hair immediately drifted to the ground.
"You can actually zone out during a battle. Your combat awareness is even worse than I imagined. I'm curious—why would the Hidden Leaf Village entrust the last Uchiha and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to a shinobi like you?"
There was exasperation in Kakashi's voice.
"Look at yourself now. After losing the Sharingan, you can't even manage the most basic dodging?"
"You've gone down the wrong path. If you had trained hard in our Hatake Clan's swordsmanship from the beginning, your shortcomings in Chakra and endurance could have been made up for perfectly!"
Kakashi Hatake could only remain silent.
Why had the Kakashi of that world trained so hard in swordsmanship? Obito had also been by his side.
He had lost too much. Why would he still care about the strength of his own abilities?
His father's death made him abandon swordsmanship.
Obito's death filled him with guilt.
Rin's death made him lose his reason to live.
His teacher's death completely robbed him of his direction in life.
"All right, it's time to end this. Kakashi, watch closely. With this move... I'll show you how foolish it was to abandon swordsmanship and use ocular techniques instead!"

Kakashi vanished from his original position in an instant. With the boost from Lightning Release, his speed was as fast as lightning.
In an instant, a terrifying blade flash tore through space, carving out a vast zone of nothingness in the surrounding air.
Seeing that his counterpart still showed no reaction, a deep disappointment flashed through Kakashi's heart. Then the blade abruptly turned, and the back of the sword slammed heavily into Kakashi Hatake's body.
Kakashi Hatake immediately dropped his head and fell asleep, sinking completely into unconsciousness.
"Kakashi-sensei!"
Naruto and Sakura nervously looked at the unconscious Kakashi Hatake.
"Don't worry. I used the back of the blade at the end and didn't strike to kill."
Obito explained it to the two of them.
"Hahaha, but Kakashi, it looks like your counterpart in this world isn't much!"
Obito began laughing mockingly.
At this moment, Sasuke finally seemed to remember something. With a solemn expression, he said, "Senior, if you're talking about your counterpart in this world, then it's true that someone in our Uchiha Clan once had the same name as you."
Obito immediately jumped up, his face almost touching Sasuke's.
"Tell me! Hurry up and tell me! Tell me, and you'll be greatly rewarded!"
This concerned the possibility of awakening the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in his right eye. The clue was extremely important!
Compared with the left eye, the right eye's ability to turn himself intangible was truly a top-tier life-saving skill!
Seeing how expectantly Obito was looking at him, Sasuke suddenly couldn't bear to tell him the news.
Obito's heart sank, and he pressed him again. "What's wrong? Tell me! Don't worry, whatever the result, I'll reward you!"
A person recorded in the Clan Records surfaced in Sasuke's mind: Obito Uchiha.
"The Obito Uchiha of this world... is a hero of the Hidden Leaf Village."
Obito was immediately somewhat indignant.
Good grief, his counterpart in this world had actually become a hero of the Hidden Leaf Village?
He had never even received an award for being one of the Empire's top three students!
Damn it! He had actually been outdone by himself!
"Tell me the details!"
Obito put an arm around Sasuke's neck and revealed an expression eager to hear more.
Seeing that Kakashi was still over there treating the bleeding in Kakashi Hatake's left eye, he shouted, "Don't bother with that worthless variant of yours, Kakashi! I couldn't beat you in the Empire, but in this world, you're far behind me!"
"Your variant is so weak, yet I became a hero of the Hidden Leaf Village long ago. Come over here and listen!"
After making sure Kakashi had shifted his attention to him, Obito raised his head and gestured for Sasuke to continue.
Sasuke glanced at Kakashi, then swallowed and slowly began:
"Your counterpart in this world... died in Konoha Year 50, during the Kannabi Bridge Campaign..."
"That period was during the Third Shinobi World War... You were thirteen years old at the time..."
"After your death, you were given the title of hero of the Hidden Leaf Village..."
Obito: "???"
"Holy crap! Damn it!"
"I'm dead?!"
He didn't dare turn around. He could feel the undisguised mockery in Kakashi's gaze.
He had deliberately made Kakashi listen just now, but those words had ended up like a heavy slap across his own face.
I've become a clown again. Damn it!
Damn it, why was his counterpart in this world so useless?
He had thought that Kakashi of this world was already pathetic enough. He had even wanted to show off a little just now. Who would have thought that his counterpart in this world would be even more useless than Kakashi's variant, dying at the age of thirteen?
He couldn't beat Kakashi in the Empire, and now, after coming to a Parallel World, he still couldn't beat him?
Kakashi's variant might be useless, but he could at least lead a team, and that team even had the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura!
What about him? He had gone to meet Ashura and Indra at a young age!
Did that count as being stronger than Kakashi's variant?
He had originally thought that Kakashi, who played with the Sharingan instead of a blade, was deranged enough. But compared with himself, who had died before even growing up, he was even more pitiful...
Compared with a man's pride, what made Obito feel even more miserable and upset was...
