"Where are they? Where is the enemy?" Looking around at the deserted forest, Obito and Kakashi were both searching for their way out.
However, if they could discover him so easily, then this " Camouflage Concealment Technique " wouldn't be the Iwagakure's trump card.
Therefore, no matter how much Obito and Kakashi looked around, they couldn't find any clues. Instead, the enemy sneaked up nearby without them even realizing it.
Kakashi finally noticed something when the enemy got close to Obito from behind, but by then it was too late.
" Obito, watch out! The enemy is behind you!"
The Iwagakure member, still invisible, raised his Kunai and slashed at Obito's back.
The slow-witted Obito had no idea that the enemy would appear behind him while still looking in front of him. At this critical moment, Kakashi shoved Obito Obito, allowing him to dodge the attack from Iwagakure, but he himself was slashed in the left eye by the enemy.
Seeing the splattered crimson blood before him, Obito's black pupils suddenly contracted, and he stood there dumbfounded.
But Kakashi's scream quickly jolted him out of his daze.
He quickly knelt down to support Kakashi, who had been slashed in the eye, and asked with a worried expression, " Kakashi, how are you?"
Obito was filled with regret and guilt; he had never hated his own weakness as much as he did now.
Rin was captured by the enemy, Kakashi was injured by the enemy, and every time his comrades encountered trouble, he was powerless to help.
This feeling of powerlessness overwhelmed him, filling him with immense regret.
In a daze, he seemed to hear a strange voice scolding him. " Obito, you're a loser. No matter how well you talk, it doesn't change the fact that you're a piece of trash. Rin and Kakashi are in this desperate situation because of your incompetence. You don't deserve to be their comrade at all."
Such insults began to quiet his once cheerful and optimistic heart, but just as he was being attacked by these internal curses and felt utterly ashamed...
Suddenly, a gentle and kind female voice appeared in his mind.
" Obito, do your best!"
He instantly recalled Rin's smile, and the time when he had reconciled with Kakashi.
Suddenly, an inexplicable force surged into his heart, dispelling the guilt he felt.
He took a deep breath and whispered to himself, "Maybe I really am a loser, a piece of trash, causing Rin and Kakashi to get into this predicament, but at least let me save them this once, just once!"
It seemed as if some god had truly heard Obito's thoughts; he felt himself filled with power, and the scene before him became clear.
Even the Iwagakure Ninja were preparing to launch a sneak attack from behind could be easily detected.
The next second, Obito suddenly turned around, gripped the kunai in his hands tightly, Kunai stabbed it into the void behind him.
A surprising thing happened: in what was clearly a void, one could hear the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh.
Immediately afterwards, the Iwagakure Ninja slowly appeared from the void, and Obito's Kunai struck his abdomen.
He stared at Obito in shock. "H-how is this possible? How did you find me?"
Before Obito could answer, he collapsed and died, his face filled with resentment.
Unbeknownst to him, Obito's eyes were flashing with an eerie red light. It was this red light that caused his sneak attack to fail, and he ended up dying at Obito's hands.
And this red glow is precisely the manifestation of the Sharingan.
That's right, just as Obito was determined to save Kakashi, his long-awaited Sharingan finally awakened.
He wasn't happy, especially after seeing Kakashi lose an eye while saving him; he became even more upset.
It was only now that he understood why his clan said the Sharingan was an eye stained with blood and curses.
" Obito, your eyes?" Kakashi, who was lying on the ground, noticed the change in Obito and asked in surprise.
"Yeah, I've awakened the Sharingan. But I've found that even though I've awakened the Sharingan, I'm not happy. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, Rin is still waiting for us to save her."
"Okay, let me treat my eyes, then I'll leave immediately."
After treating their injured eyes with their medical kits, Kakashi and Obito ran towards the cave where Rin Nohara was.
After they left, a white figure slowly emerged from the tree branch.
"Now I'm starting to believe Lord Madara said. This guy named Obito Uchiha might really have some talent. He actually reached the Futatsudomoe level right after awakening his Sharingan. It seems I really underestimated him."
"But even with the best talent, I can't escape Lord Madara's plan. I'm actually starting to look forward to meeting Obito."
After muttering to itself, the white figure continued to sink into the tree branches.
Clearly, from the words of this white-clad figure, there was an unknown conspiracy waiting for Obito ahead.
As expected, Obito and Kakashi were caught in Iwagakure after entering. Although Rin was successfully rescued, Obito himself was left there forever.
Thus, thanks to Obito's sacrifice, a situation that shook Konoha and even the Shinobi World occurred: Konoha defeated Iwagakure.
The most important turning point in this war was Kakashi's successful destruction of the Kannabi Bridge. In the later history of Konoha, this pivotal war is known as the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.
In this war, Konoha produced two heroes with Sharingan: one whose image is engraved on the Memorial Stone, and the other who was later known in the Shinobi World as Kakashi of the Sharingan.
No one knew that he was supposed to die in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.
Obito Uchiha, Konoha not actually die, but was saved by a very hidden old man.
"So, Obito's been taken away by White Zetsu. Should we follow them?"
Looking at the desolate battlefield ruins before them, and sensing Chakra's Obito fluctuations following White Zetsu's departure, two figures dressed in white robes appeared on the ruins and began to converse with each other.
These two were Jörmungandr and Uchiha Ryuko, who possessed the Eternal Eye.
Oh, no, it should be called Setsuna now.
Ever since Kōki decided to take action against Madara Uchiha, they had been hiding around Obito, using Sensory Ninjutsu to monitor Obito's every move, preparing to use Obito to find Madara's hiding place.
Finally, their patience paid off, and they discovered the trail of White Zetsu beside Obito.
After discovering the White Zetsu, Jörmungandr initially planned to capture the White Zetsu to find Madara's hiding place.
However, considering that taking action might alert Madara, they decided to follow the original plan and wait until Obito was taken away by White Zetsu before tracking him down.
Now that Obito has been taken away by White Zetsu, it means that the opportunity they have been waiting for has finally arrived.
"Let's go with them then. First, find the location of their base, and once we've confirmed it, we'll call Aizen and the others over. We can't afford to hold back against Madara Uchiha."
"Okay, let's follow."
Using their powerful Sensory Ninjutsu, Setsuna and Jörmungandr followed the direction of Obito 'Chakra movement and arrived at a forest.
Just as Jörmungandr about to continue the pursuit, he was stopped by Setsuna beside him.
"No need to chase. I sensed a lot of Chakra fluctuations in the dense forest ahead; judging from the situation, they're all White Zetsu. If we just go through like this, they'll discover us. However, the location of the White Zetsu confirms our suspicions: this is Madara's hiding place."
"Then let's wait, let's wait for the grand show to begin."
