He raised his hand, which was trembling, and scratched the air with his fingertips, pointing to his left eye.
"This. My Sharingan."
Kakashi Hatake's pupils shrank suddenly.
"Obito Uchiha, you--"
"Aren't you blind in that eye?" Obito Uchiha interrupted him, his voice was very urgent, as if he was afraid that Kakashi Hatake wouldn't let him finish.
"You use mine. My eyes for you. So you don't have just one eye."
His finger scratched in the air again, this time pointing at Kakashi Hatake's face.
"You are a jounin. How can a jounin only have one eye? It's so ugly."
His voice became softer and softer, like a lamp that was about to burn out.
But the red eye is still very bright, and the two hooks are still turning, round and round.
"Lin." Obito Uchiha shouted.
Lin knelt beside him, her face wet with tears. She covered her mouth with her hands, not daring to cry, but just nodded constantly.
"Help me take out my eyes."
Obito Uchiha said, his voice as calm as if he was saying something ordinary, "You know how to do it. You are a medical ninja."
Lin shook her head so hard that her hair fell apart.
"I can't... I can't..."
"You can do it." Obito Uchiha said, his voice was very soft but firm.
"You are the best medical ninja. You can definitely do it."
He looked at Lin, and there was something very gentle in those red eyes, as gentle as the spring wind.
"Lin, please."
Lin's hands were shaking. She stretched out her hand, retracted it, retracted it, and stretched it out again. Her hand hung above Obito Uchiha's left eye.
Obito Uchiha didn't urge her anymore. He just lay there, looking at her, with a faint smile on his lips.
Then he turned his head and looked at Kakashi Hatake.
"Kakashi Hatake."
"Hmm."
"Protect Lin well for me."
Kakashi Hatake's throat moved, as if he had swallowed something. It was hard and bitter, and his chest hurt when he swallowed.
"Okay."
Obito Uchiha smiled.
That smile was deeper and brighter than before.
"Also," he said, "Help me tell Minato-sensei. I... failed to become Hokage."
Kakashi Hatake's eyes heated up. Something poured out of his eye sockets, down the bridge of his nose, down his cheeks, and dripped on Obito Uchiha's hand.
Obito Uchiha felt the tears. He moved his fingers, and his fingertips touched the back of Kakashi Hatake's hand, which was cool and wet.
"Don't cry." He said, his voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. "It's so ugly for a Jonin to cry."
His eyes slowly closed. That red eye, those two rotating Tomoe, slowly stopped, at an angle, like two black pebbles sunk at the bottom of the river, and never moved again.
But his hand was still on the back of Kakashi Hatake's hand, cool and gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting him.
Lin finally reached out her hand.
Her hands were still shaking, but she gritted her teeth to stop her fingers from shaking.
Her palms glowed with green light, which was the light of Medical Ninjutsu, as warm as the sun.
The light covered Obito Uchiha's left eye, bit by bit, taking out his eye.
Obito Uchiha didn't move. He seemed to feel no pain anymore.
Kakashi Hatake looked at that eye. The red iris and black Tomoe were lying quietly in Lin's palm, still carrying her body temperature.
Lin put her eyes on Kakashi Hatake's hand.
Kakashi Hatake lowered his head, looked into that eye, and was silent for a long time.
Then he raised that eye and placed it in front of his left eye. The left eye that could no longer see anything.
He used his right hand to untie the original bandage, going round and round.
The bandage was soaked with blood and stuck to his skin. It hurt a little when it was pulled off, but he didn't feel it.
He put Obito Uchiha's eyes into his own.
It's very cold. Like a piece of ice, it's cold from the eyes to the heart.
But the coolness quickly dissipated and turned into a warm feeling.
He could see out of his left eye again.
The first thing I saw was Obito Uchiha's face. The face covered with dust and blood, the eyes that had been closed, and the smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth.
suddenly.
He felt it.
The ground shakes.
Lin felt it too. She raised her head, the tears on her face were not yet dry, but the fear in her eyes had been replaced by something more alert.
She stood up, put her hands on the ninja tool bag, and leaned forward slightly.
"Kakashi Hatake..." Her voice was still shaking, but it was much more steady than before.
"I know." Kakashi Hatake said.
He turned around and faced the direction of the woods. The dark flock of birds was still hovering in the sky, refusing to fall down. Something was moving at the edge of the woods.
Not one person, not two people, but a group of people. Many people.
Their figures emerged one after another from the shadow of the trees.
Iwagakure's reinforcements.
Kakashi Hatake I can't count how many there are.
Faster than expected, more than expected. Kannabi Bridge's mission, Lin's rescue, and Obito Uchiha's death.
All this has delayed too much time. The people of Iwagakure are not fools, they have reacted, they are here, and they want to wipe out everything here.
The leader was a tall ninja with a scar on his face extending from his forehead to his chin, splitting his right eye in half.
He stood at the front of the team, looking at Kakashi Hatake, at Lin, at the pile of collapsed rubble at the entrance of the cave, and at the head wearing Forehead Protector exposed under the rubble.
His eyes paused on the Forehead Protector for a moment, and then moved away.
"Konoha kid." His voice was hoarse, like a stone grinding a stone, "Are you two the only ones left?"
Kakashi Hatake said nothing.
The leading ninja didn't look at him again. He lowered his head, put his hands together, and twirled his fingers.
"Earth Release--Mountain Collapse Burial."
The ground began to shake again. It was more violent and crazy than before.
Kakashi Hatake The ground beneath his feet cracked, cracks spread in all directions like snakes, and gravel rolled down the hillside.
Kakashi Hatake's pupils shrank suddenly.
Obito Uchiha.
He turned around and rushed towards the entrance of the cave. But it was too late. The rubble seemed to be alive, coming from all directions and converging in the direction of Obito Uchiha, burying it.
Kakashi Hatake stood there, the hand holding the knife trembling.
But now he must be careful about the enemy in front of him.
In the rubble behind him, under the thick soil and stones, somewhere that neither Kakashi Hatake nor Lin could see, something was moving.
That's a white thing.
Something white wrapped around Obito Uchiha.
Obito Uchiha's body slowly disappeared in the white package.
Not far away, a white rabbit opened its eyes and took in the whole scene.
Kumogakure's Uchiha Shaoyu slowly opened his eyes.
"Eurasia Oura, I found you."
