The Third Hokage's Lingering Fear

The Obito were anxious and wanted to stop it from happening.

It wasn't that he genuinely cared about Kakashi's version of his innocence, but rather that he had now analyzed the truth and realized that his real target was Rin.

His focus will naturally shift entirely to figuring out how to kill Rin effectively, and he won't care about Kakashi's version of himself anymore.

Then this matter will become a hidden time bomb.

If his formidable rival was Kakashi's version of Obito, then with his full attention, he could naturally control the situation meticulously, ensuring no problems would arise, and he would also have Danzo's cooperation.

But now his target has become Lin.

If Kakashi's version of Obito were to Heaven's Will that he was the one who did such a thing, he would be utterly disgraced.

At that point, no matter what he does, it will be very difficult to complete the third task.

After all, the third task was for him to kill his formidable enemy while gaining the approval of 80% of Konoha's population.

If his reputation is already as bad as Uchiha Itachi's in the real world before he even completes the mission, then no matter how justified his killing of Rin is, it won't make a difference.

"Obito, are you alright--"

Obito had no time to be careful; upon arriving at his destination, he broke down the door and rushed inside.

Ta-da!

The sight inside made Obito's words catch in his throat.

Kakashi- style Obito hugged a pillow, huddled in a corner, striking a pose reminiscent of Rin Tohsaka, with two lines of clear tears streaming down his bloodshot Sharingan.

"Kakashi?"

"... Kakashi, it's not what you think! I'm innocent!"

After regaining his senses, Kakashi's version of Obito quickly tried to explain.

But he was too tongue-tied, and since he really didn't have any direction for explanation, he stopped halfway through his sentence.

"..."

Obito the pained expression on Kakashi's face, Obito felt a surge of pleasure.

To avoid laughing out loud, Obito secretly pinched himself hard, a tear streaming down his face, before stepping forward and patting "Obito's" shoulder.

"Obito, I believe you. Don't worry, I won't tell Rin about what happened today."

"Really?"

"Real."

"Thank you so much, Kakashi, waaaaah!"

While the two were deeply in love and treating each other with utmost respect, Danzo appeared at the door with the Third Hokage and witnessed the scene.

Clearly, this was Danzo, following Obito's earlier plan, to suppress the Uchiha Clan's prestige by deliberately bringing the Third Hokage here.

But Danzo didn't know that the Third Hokage knew far more about Kakashi than he did.

Therefore, upon seeing the scene inside the house, the Third Hokage was shocked and immediately suspected Kakashi of being the real culprit.

In the Third Hokage's view, Kakashi must have realized that Obito's orientation was normal and that he would never accept him, so he had evil intentions.

Kakashi wanted to make Obito commit a grave mistake, lose his innocence, and have his mentality collapse, so that he could take advantage of the situation and successfully win over Obito's body and soul.

The Third Hokage noticed Kakashi's eyes and saw tears in them, but there was no sadness in them, and even a faint hint of joy!

This further solidified the Third Hokage ' suspicions.

That's terrifying.

What a kind child Kakashi was!

The original Kakashi had already inherited the Will of Fire.

Why has it turned out this way?

To obtain Obito, he was willing to do so many treacherous and cunning things?

If Kakashi continues like this, how many more outrageous things will he do?

"Hiruzen, do you understand now? The Uchiha Clan has become so arrogant. If you don't restrain them, the next target might be Biwako."

Danzo then launched his attack, urging the Third Hokage Uchiha clan, a hint of smugness in his eyes.

"This matter should be considered carefully."

The Third Hokage Danzo but ignored him.

In his opinion, Danzo was an idiot.

Danzo has the nerve to mention Biwako Sarutobi? He himself has already been defiled by Kakashi, and he's still being used by Kakashi here. He's hopelessly stupid and unworthy of being the leader of Root.

"Lord Third Hokage, I'm innocent! I didn't really mean to... I... I... I suddenly felt I couldn't control myself, that's why..."

"Unable to control oneself? Emotional outburst? Isn't this the classic situation of the Uchiha Clan awakening and advancing their Sharingan?"

"Injustice? How have I wronged you? This is the curse of the Uchiha Clan!"

Kakashi's version of Obito, with a sob in his voice, was explaining to the Third Hokage, but was interrupted sharply by Danzo.

Kakashi's version of Obito was speechless for a moment.

Because he seemed to have indeed heard that when members of his clan opened their eyes, it was accompanied by emotional fluctuations.

But at that time, he thought that emotional fluctuations would cause one to open their eyes, not that opening one's eyes would cause emotional fluctuations.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now."

"Kakashi, I don't think you're suited for the Root mission environment. Come back after you finish your current mission, and I'll reassign you."

The Third Hokage felt he was going to great lengths for Kakashi.

And that was the end of it.

But from then on, Kakashi's version of Obito never dared to use helping an old lady cross the street as an excuse to be late again.

He's even started to develop PTSD from old women; he'll instinctively avoid them whenever he sees one on the streets of Konoha.

During these days, Obito racked his brains, trying every possible way to get Danzo to change the direction of his plans.

His target wasn't Kakashi version of himself, but Rin.

Therefore, Obito revealed the location of the wild Tailed Beast, Three-Tails, Isobu Danzo.

They said that matters concerning the Uchiha Clan couldn't be rushed and could be taken slowly, but capturing the Three-Tails was of paramount importance. The more Tailed Beast they had, the stronger Konoha would be.

As for the Jinchuriki, Obito recommended Rin.

Not just anyone can become Jinchuriki. In order to give birth to a qualified Jinchuriki, Rasa from the neighboring Sunagakure had his wife killed.

Rin, on the other hand, possesses the talent of a Jinchuriki.

Danzo was surprised by Kakashi's "sacrifice of family for the greater good." Danzo originally thought that Kakashi wanted to get rid of Uchiha Obito because of the girl in the team, but he didn't expect that Kakashi would even be willing to offer up this girl as Jinchuriki.

Could it be that Kakashi, like him, actually loves Konoha?

In short, Danzo was successfully fooled and began to cooperate with Obito, turning the plan into making Rin the Three-Tails Jinchuriki.

In Obito's view, Rin was too kind.

Even if it's just Genjutsu, a fake Lin, it's the same.

No matter what he did, he couldn't make Lin turn evil.

At the same time, he was also somewhat resistant to ruining Lin's reputation.

Besides, if someone like Kakashi's Obito a tarnished reputation for dancing with an old lady, it would be Rin who would suffer the most; it wouldn't be considered tarnished at all.

Therefore, only Tailed Beast Tailed Beast make people lose their minds and instill fear and disgust in the Konoha People.
