Chapter 386 Like a stranger [Part 1]
"This speed, and the teacher's original Rasengaran... It's indeed not an illusion, but a real fourth-generation Hokage himself."
With the explosion of the power of Rasengwan, Obito even entered the penetration mode of divine power, he could not help but fall into a natural weightless state due to the collapse of the ground under his feet. Then he quickly adjusted his posture so that as soon as his toes touched the ground, he pushed the ground hard to get away with it, pulling away from the Mizuno and keeping a distance. Then, while his mouth was talking and teasing, the face covered by the mask began to involuntarily seep out a little cold sweat slightly due to the appearance of the Mizuno.
"But, is this really good? As a teacher, he is a killer move. Are you planning to clean up the portal by yourself?"
It is obvious that Obito at this moment is easy to show when he confronts Shimizu head-on - or rather, it is a cat-catcher and mouse-like playful look, which can be said to be like a character exchange, presenting a completely opposite picture. So quietly, Obito, who seemed to be teasing casually, secretly became energetic as if facing a great enemy, and was always wary of the surprise attack that Minato could launch at any time.
After all, let’s not mention it for now. After experiencing the process of using divine power to rush forward and frequently exerting the pupil technique in the battle with Shishui, the pupil power retained in the body has been gone by eight or nineteen compared to the heyday. Even though Obito’s combat power is obviously greatly reduced and weakened...
At present, there is no Kyuuba Ninja Village that is out of control and turbulent. It can affect Minato's mood, making Minato forced to take quick attacks because he is eager to retreat to the enemy. Not to mention that in Obito's opinion, at a young age, Minato has firmly been in charge of the throne of the fourth generation of Naruto with his real military achievements. If he has not made any progress in his strength in recent years, it is probably a lie that he can't believe if he kills Obito!
It is precisely because of this that the other side has risen and fallen, Obito, who was originally venting the raging scene of the storm, has just relaxed. In the face of the crisis that Mizuno personally came, he had to use his mouth to delay the time as much as possible to restore his pupil power, while quietly thinking about how much success you can have if you leave directly with your divine power.
In other words, Obito at this moment, let alone the sudden appearance of Mizuno, continued the one-on-one contest that had no results several years ago... After confirming that Mizuno's figure was real, not hypocritical, he was thinking seriously about how he could successfully escape from Mizuno's hands!
And the contrast between the huge difference between the past and the future is the terrifying deterrent power that Hakuzumizu Gate has under the name of the golden flash of Konoha!
"Even if you use the Flying Thunder God technique, will you still fail... It's such a troublesome ability."
At the same time, Minato knew the end of this attack at the moment when the attack failed, and it was destined to be futile. Even though he was short-term stiffness caused by the move, he could only watch Obito stay away and could not pursue the pursuit as soon as possible. Not only was Minato not unwilling to be angry at all, but as expected, he just murmured and complained, he naturally stood up again with a look of expression. Then, after seeing Obito stand firmly with his feet on the ground, he continued to say word by word.
"Cleaning the portal? Judging from his performance back then, even if the Rasengan hits you, it will not threaten your life...at most, it will put you in a serious injury state, but you still have the power to fight back, right?"
"Oh? In other words... from the beginning, you just wanted to capture me alive, but didn't intend to hurt my life?"
Facing the familiar face of reunited for a long time, Obito inadvertently evoked all kinds of beautiful memories of the past. However, it inevitably reminded Obito that it was because of the two "late" of the person in front of him that the separation of life and death that made him sad until now. So much so that he frowned, even in the face of the fact that his identity had been revealed, he did not continue to play the role of "Uchiha Madara" in vain. But at this moment, Obito still did not have the thought of reminiscing with the person in front of him. Instead, he sneered lightly and mocked and sneered sarcastically.
"I am really worthy of being a teacher. This calm judgment ability is really the same as the decision to separate actions made in the Battle of Shenwupiqiao back then, as accurate as ever..."
"The Battle of Shenwupi Bridge... Sure enough, you are still holding a grudge against the fact that the teacher failed to arrive in time in that incident and rescue you?"
Hearing the battle of Shenwubiqiao that was deliberately mentioned in front of him, Minato's original aggressive questioning words suddenly stopped. Then he frowned and relaxed slightly, and there was no help but a little apologetic look. At the same time, Minato's tone of voice again became softer and gentler inadvertently, as if comforting a child.
"I was on the other side of the battlefield at that time, so even if I had arrived as quickly as possible, it was still too late... and, in that case, we all thought you had..."
"Think I'm dead, right?"
Unfortunately, Obito, who had already fallen into the dark road, had no intention of mercy. Instead, he responded coldly and mocked, and even the title used for Minato became unfamiliar and cold as he deliberately changed his words.
"Hahaha--! But I'm sorry! Teacher... No, Master Hokage, I not only survived, but also became the most troublesome enemy in your life..."
"Indeed, it is the teacher's dereliction of duty that failed to save his disciple, and it is understandable..."
Faced with Obito's repeated mockery and cold words, Minato's face seemed to be overturned with a five-flavor bottle, and it seemed to be mixed and complicated, and it no longer had its original aggressive appearance. So much so that he stretched out his arms, as if trying to save and compensate Obito in front of him, and responded slowly as gently as possible.
"But since you are still alive, why not contact us? If you contact us earlier, I, Kakashi...we can all help you..."
Minato's inquiry made Obito's thoughts, who were slightly immersed in memories, involuntarily, slowly return to the moment when he first met Uchiha Madara - he was rescued by Uchiha Madara and dragged his broken body to wake up from the hospital bed.
Obviously, during that period, I accidentally discovered that I did not die and sacrifice as I had imagined, and the ecstatic Obito was indeed as what Minato said. With all my heart, I was thinking about how to leave the dark cave so that I could tell Minato and others the good news that I was still alive in the world at the first time...
This almost obsessive goal is to drive Obito to slowly recover and to work hard and lengthy rehabilitation practice with one hundred and two percent of the effort. In the end, it was like a miracle that not only caused the seriously injured body on the verge of death to restore the ability to move freely. It also completely adapted to the right half of the body created by the first Naruto cell, and gave Obito's overall strength a qualitative leap. And finally, it was the core driving force that successfully left the cave as it wished!
But this beautiful and innocent idea only lasted until the moment Obito left the cave...
Because, on that day, Obito used his own eyes to deeply understand what purgatory on earth is...
"Help me? Haha! Hahaha--!"
It is precisely because of this that Obito, who was hurt by memories, couldn't help but become more disdainful and indifferent tone. Then he raised his hand slightly and covered his forehead covered by his mask. Obito seemed to have heard some huge joke and laughed wildly.
"Just ye two, you guys who can't do anything and can't protect anything? They dare to say arrogantly that they can help me? Humph! Such ridiculous remarks should be saved!"
"Calm down, Obito, let the teacher come and help you..."
The various rebellious and negative emotions presented by Obito's words and deeds made Minato reach the conclusion that the people in front of him had no possibility of turning back on the road of blackening. They would never let go of all the grievances and resentments of the past because of their comforting words and returned to the village. However, they were still unwilling to give up. While responding to the mocking and sarcastic words, they kept the tone as calm as possible. While sorting out the logic of their hearts, they continued to speak in a warm voice.
"Besides, it was just an accident... Didn't the teacher say that? It was because the teacher made a mistake in the judgment, which caused him to fail to arrive in time, so..."
"Accident? It's just an accident? Hahaha... you really dare to say it!"
However, Minato's words did not make Obito's heart feel relaxed and comforting. It was also counterproductive, causing Obito's heart, which had already been deeply resentful, to suddenly rise in his nameless fire! He then deliberately increased the tone of the words and responded directly with a sneer.
"The fourth generation of Naruto, Master Hakusuke Mizuno... You still naively think that the reason why I hate you so much is because you failed to save me in the battle that time, right?"
Obviously, Minato's comforting words evoked the scene that Obito was most reluctant to think of in his memories. So before Minato continued to speak to defend anything, Obito seemed to have opened up his conversation, mixing the resentment and anger that had been accumulated in his heart over the years in the cold questioning words, and venting it without reservation. The teacher he should have respected and admired the most in his life!
"From the moment I made a decision to become a ninja, I already knew that sacrifice is inevitable if I want to win the war... What's more, I am self-aware, so I know very well that with my strength, even if I get the qualification of a ninja and can rush to the battlefield, it will probably be because of my lack of strength and will sooner or later die on the battlefield."
It is precisely because of this that Obito seems to be a matter of extremes. Although he is completely lost by these negative emotions, the words that blurted out seem to have eased and become much more gentle and calm.
"In other words, I have never resented even once for the fact that you failed to save me in time... because I know that you are just performing necessary critical tasks and cannot get out in time. But this does not mean that you do not care about us, let alone that you have not tried to save and protect the lives of the three of us as much as possible..."
"Have you never resented the teacher... This kind of thought is indeed your style, Obito."
As soon as the words were finished, Mizuto was enough to judge that the words Obito said were all from the heart, not beautiful words that were deliberately said afterwards. After all, before Obito turned completely black, even though Obito was named as the tail of a crane and was discriminated against by cold eyes, he was still unmoved and grew up to be a kind and kind child. It was precisely because he knew this in his heart that the guilty and apologetic expression on Mizuto's face involuntarily deepened a little. Then, subconsciously, the murderous intent gathered on Mizuto's body dissipated and asked in a warm voice.
"But since that's the case, why are you now..."
"Didn't I say it long ago? Because you and Kakashi are unable to fulfill their promises, so they can't do anything..."
Obito, who was sure that Mizuno would have such a question, interrupted Mizuno's futile comforting remarks, and the tone revealed in his mouth, in this moment, as if he had completely changed his personal form, from his original gentle and calm appearance, he immediately turned sharply and fell into the ice cave! In the response, his body trembled from time to time, even if there was a mask block, it was enough for Mizuno to easily judge that Obito at this moment must have been clenched under the attack of this anger, showing a very twisted and angry face!
"If I could not save me in time in that battle, it was because I really couldn't do anything about it, I could understand..."
"But it was because of your cowardice and incompetence that Lin's death... and now, you simply describe it as an "accident" and want to get away with it?"
