Forced to sell misery

Jing Ye murmured.

This is……

"Wha...what?!"

Kakashi's whole body was shocked. He quickly stepped forward and helped Jing Ye up.

"How do you know? Those...those words, hey, Uchiha Jingye! Look into my eyes!"

Tears continued to well up in his eyes, and Jing Ye looked behind Kakashi with a dazed look.

Kakashi turned around and saw that Yamada Kotaro had broken free from his restraints at some point. His hands were still in the seal, looking at him grimly.

Oops, it’s an illusion!

If you don't check it for a while...

So Jingye was trapped in an illusion, but why did Jingye know about the incident between him, Obito, and Rin... the Kannabi Bridge a long time ago? !

Kakashi's mind was in a mess.

"Hey, Uchiha Jingye, wake up!"

Kakashi's voice became increasingly unclear, until finally nothing could be heard.

His consciousness seemed to sink into the water, and Jing Ye found himself among the trees in a trance.

A boy in blue clothes and orange goggles was jumping between the trees.

This is, in my youth——

"Just in time!"

Obito rolled over and landed on the grass.

"No, you're late, Obito."

Kakashi squatted down and said, "What time do you think we should gather? Since you are a ninja who can stand on your own, you must abide by the rules. This is only natural."

"No, I met an old lady on the way..."

Another old-fashioned reason...

"...People who break the rules will be called scum among ninjas, right?" Kakashi said with disdain.

No, Kakashi...

He wanted to go forward and say something, but passed through Kakashi's body. Jing Ye looked at his illusory palm and stood aside at a loss.

"Don't you have any tenderness in your heart? You're always talking about rules. It's so annoying!" Obito shouted in dissatisfaction.

……

"Today Kakashi will be inaugurated as a jonin just like me," Minato announced.

"Didn't we say this before? Obito, you need to give Kakashi a gift." Lin turned around and looked at Obito.

"Sorry, I didn't hear you." Obito turned his face away awkwardly.

Border battlefield.

"Teacher, I am the captain today, so I want to try out the newly developed ninjutsu, Chidori." Kakashi was eager to try

"The team must listen to the captain. That's the rule, teacher."

So Minato didn't continue to stop him.

Kakashi was injured because of the immaturity of the technique.

And because of the sudden attack by the Rock Ninja, Obito was caught off guard and had no time to react -

"Do you know the new 25th rule of ninja? It says that ninjas cannot let others see their tears." Kakashi looked at Obito.

This tailgate...

"Kakashi, rules and regulations are indeed important, but they are not everything. Remember what I said." Minato noticed the rift between the two.

"Before we part, let me say it again. The most important thing for a ninja is teamwork."

Finally, Minato left.

No... don't go! Jing Ye chased after him, and the surrounding scene became blurry again.

White Fang...committed suicide.

Because of the rules...?

Damn! That kind of thing...

"Obito, please understand him a little bit." Under the stars at night, Minato told Obito about the past.

No, don't go...Minato!

Jing Ye rushed forward... but it was still in vain.

After separating from Minato, Kakashi's team did run into trouble.

"We'll take this guy away..." Smoke exploded, and Lin was captured by the Rock Ninjas.

"Obito, don't chase them," Kakashi said calmly.

"What did you say?!" Obito was shocked.

"The two of us will continue our mission like this."

"As a ninja, you have to carry out your mission even if it means sacrificing your companions. That's the rule."

"That's why ninjas have the rule of erasing feelings."

Even when Obito pulled his shirt and glared at him, Kakashi remained like an emotionless machine.

"Extra things are just burdens. Ninjas need tools that can play a role in their missions. Feelings are superfluous!"

"enough!"

Obito let go of Kakashi's hand, his eyes filled with indescribable disappointment.

You and I are incompatible. I'm going to save Lin!"

"You don't understand anything. What will happen to those who break the rules!" Kakashi clenched his fists secretly as he recalled his father.

"I think White Fang is a real hero."

The wind blew, his clothes fluttered with dust, and he said:

"Indeed, in the world of ninja, those who break the rules and regulations are called trash.

However, those who don't value their partners are even more useless. They are all useless anyway, so I want to break the rules!

If this is not the right ninja, then I will defeat this ninja thing!"

The two of them left with their backs to each other.

……

However, Kakashi was eventually shaken and caught up with Obito.

"Silver hair and that silver chakra knife. Could it be that you are the White Fang of Konoha?"

"This is my father's relic." After forcing back the Iwagakure ninja with one blow, Kakashi clenched the short sword in his hand. He is... the son of Konoha White Fang!

In the end, Kakashi was still defeated because of the enemy's strange ability to assimilate with the environment. The Iwa Ninja judged that Obito was his breakthrough point, so he launched a sneak attack.

Blood splattered——

"Get out of the way!"

Kakashi injured his left eye in order to save Obito.

"You..." Obito widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Is there sand in your eyes again? If you're a ninja, don't cry." Kakashi said.

-

"Aren't you going to run away yet?" said the Iwa Ninja with some pride after his successful attack.

Those who don't value their partners are even more useless. They are all useless anyway, so I'm going to break the rules!

"Only that one sentence... I don't want to just say it!" Obito clenched the kunai in his hand, and the double magatama Sharingan opened -

"This time, I will protect my companions."

The two of them worked together to defeat the Iwagakure and rescue Lin, but -

"Earth Escape: Rock Collapse!

The entire cave was shaking, the earth and rocks were crumbling, and the defeated enemy launched a counterattack—

Because his left eye was blind and his vision was obstructed, Kakashi was hit by debris coming from the left.

"Kakashi!"

Obito goes to save Kakashi and a huge rock falls.

However... when all the dust settled, it was Obito who was crushed under a huge rock!

Kakashi tried hard to push the huge rock that was pressing down on Obito - "Stop, that's enough, Kakashi, I can't... go on anymore..." Obito said, blood gushing out of the corners of his lips.

"No...how could this happen...why?"

Kakashi knelt down.

"Damn it! Damn it..."

"What captain! What jonin!" Kakashi's tears fell.

"Come to think of it... I forgot..." Obito murmured before his death.

"I'm the only one who didn't give you a present to celebrate becoming a jonin, Kakashi..."

"I have thought carefully about what to give you. And now I have made up my mind."

"What? Don't worry, it's nothing, useless... extra stuff..."

"I'll give you my Sharingan."

"No matter what the villagers say, you are an excellent jonin, that's what I think."

"Take it."

……

"I'm dying, but I can be your eyes. See what it looks like after this."

……

The collapsed ruins exploded, and Kakashi took Obito's gift and walked up to the rock ninja to put an end to it...

"How troublesome! He's still alive." The Rock Ninja said disdainfully -

"But he's still a brat, why are you crying, Ninja?"

"Come on, crybaby, let's get to know each other."

But he ignored the terrible determination and murderous intent in Kakashi's tearful eyes.

……

"Kakashi, Rin is in your hands." Obito said.

"Okay." Kakashi drew his sword and used the technique again. Perhaps only the cry of the Chidori could calm his anger a little.

The body of the Iwagakure fell to the ground, and until the very end, he died with his eyes open.

"Kakashi, take Lin... take Lin away quickly..."

The enemy's reinforcements are coming.

Obito said.

Separation of life and death.

"Okay, let's go!"

However, it was too late.

"Earth Release·Split the Earth and Turn the Palm!"

The reinforcements of the Iwagakure finally arrived, and dozens of them surrounded Kakashi and his men.

If you don’t leave now…it will be too late!

"Lin, catch me!" Kakashi reached out to Lin.

"Rin...!" Obito also urged, at least, let him see his beloved girl leave safely...

Lin grabbed Kakashi's hand, and at the same time, the rock and soil fell -

"Obito!"

Amid Lin's desperate cries, Obito was gradually buried by the earth and rocks.

It's rare that my relationship with Kakashi has improved...

In the end, I didn’t confess to Lin…

I really want to be with you all...

Finally, Obito thought with some regret, his sight gradually being submerged by the collapsing earth and rocks...

"Obito!!!" Lin burst into tears.

Facing many Rock Ninjas, Kakashi stood in front of Lin.

"Obito, this is the technique you helped me complete..."

At that moment, all that could be seen between heaven and earth was the flash of lightning and the sad cries of thousands of birds!

……

This... is this all the cause and effect?

Jing Ye knelt down weakly.

He was just a bystander...

Yeah, what right does he have to blame Kakashi...

His body was shaken violently and when he returned to reality, Jing Ye saw Kakashi looking at him anxiously.

At that moment, the Kakashi he saw in the illusion overlapped with the real Kakashi——

Tears fell unexpectedly, and Jing Ye said absentmindedly, "Is this what Obito wanted to see?"

"What did you say?" Kakashi almost suspected that he was also in an illusion.

"These eyes... can look back into the past..."

The black rune shattered in an instant—

Jing Ye raised his eyes, and a pair of blood-red Mangekyō Sharingan were revealed in front of Kakashi.

"Those eyes...!" Kakashi was shocked.

"In the end, there are still things that must be persisted..."

Jing Ye muttered to himself, his blood-red pupils seemed to have no focus.

Haven't woken up yet?

Kakashi was extremely shocked. Under the influence of the illusion power, Jing Ye broke the seal on his Mangekyō Sharingan. So, what did those eyes that could "go back to the past" see?

However, before Kakashi could make any move, Jing Ye disappeared from the spot.
