Kakashi stared at Obito in shock. Obito's words left him completely at a loss, and seemingly satisfied with Kakashi's expression, Obito spoke again.
"No matter how the people in the village criticize him, I think your father was a truly great man. And you are also a... truly outstanding... jonin. I truly believe that. Kakashi, accept my gift!"
After speaking to Kakashi with complete sincerity, Obito turned to Rin and continued, "Rin, transplant my Sharingan, along with the optic nerve, into Kakashi. Rin, I'm counting on you!"
"Kakashi! Get over here! We're starting the transplant now!"

Rin gritted her teeth, forcibly holding back her sorrow as she looked at Kakashi. Obito knew that Kakashi was hesitating, unable to bear it, and reminded him once more.
"Kakashi! I'm about to die. This gift is my greatest hope for you. Become Hokage—for my dream, and yours as well. My eye will become your eye, so you can see the future of this world clearly!"
The transplant went exceptionally smoothly. Kakashi flawlessly inherited Obito's left optic nerve, and the Sharingan was assimilated into Kakashi's body along with it.

"I'll kill you!"
In his rage, Kakashi did not slacken in the slightest despite using the Sharingan for the first time. White Fang in his hand emitted a white glow, and his legs launched him forward like springs as the Iwagakure ninja
