Chapter 243 Obito is still alive
The surrounding ground trembled slightly from the powerful force, and small pebbles and dust were scattered everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, Naruto swiftly threw the Rasenshuriken in his hand toward the open space to the side. The Rasenshuriken spun rapidly in the air, and the chakra formed a huge vortex. The intense vortex was like an invisible blade, tearing at the ground.
Amidst the swirling dust, a massive crater several meters in diameter suddenly appeared before our eyes. The edges of the crater were jagged, and the surrounding rocks instantly turned to dust under the impact of this powerful force, scattering with the wind.
"You've already mastered the Rasenshuriken so quickly?" A voice filled with amazement came from behind Naruto.
Upon hearing the voice, Naruto quickly turned around, a confident smile spreading across his face. He patted his chest and loudly replied, "That's right! Don't you know who I am? I'm going to be the Hokage!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Naruto, Boruto got down to business. Looking around, he casually asked, "Isn't Kakashi-sensei here?"
Boruto knows that Kakashi-sensei has been training with Naruto a lot lately. Kakashi-sensei is well aware of Naruto's special status as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and is afraid that the high-intensity training will cause the Nine-Tails' chakra in his body to become disordered, thus triggering the Nine-Tails transformation.
......
At this moment, Kakashi was no longer in his previous lazy state. His expression was unusually solemn. Holding a fresh bouquet of flowers, Kakashi slowly squatted down and carefully replaced the bouquet of flowers in front of the grave, which had already withered. Then, he began to carefully wipe the tombstone.
"Obito..."
Whenever he comes here and stands before this tranquil tombstone, Kakashi is filled with endless regret. He constantly blames his foolish self back then, his powerless self at the crucial moment.
"It seems the reason Kakashi-sensei is always a few hours late is to visit an old friend." Boruto had silently appeared behind Kakashi at some point, speaking softly as he gazed at Kakashi's back.
Upon hearing this, Kakashi stopped what he was doing with some surprise, and then slowly turned around.
He looked at Boruto standing not far away, his eyes filled with surprise. He clearly hadn't expected Boruto to be here, so he asked, "Boruto? What are you doing here?"
"There are some things I need to confirm with Kakashi-sensei," Boruto replied to Kakashi's question.
Then, Boruto's gaze involuntarily passed through Kakashi and landed on the tombstone behind him, where the name the masked man had given was clearly engraved—Uchiha Obito.
Kakashi noticed Boruto's gaze and said softly, "He is my best friend. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be who I am today."
As he spoke, Kakashi reached out and gently ran his fingers across the healed wound on his left eye, but his eyes revealed an undisguised sorrow, as if the scar was not only etched on his skin, but also deeply imprinted on the depths of his heart.
The Battle of Kannabi Bridge was a day that changed destiny. On that day, two ninjas with Sharingan were born in Konoha Village.
One of their names was forever engraved on the memorial stone, while the other was the now-famous "Copy Ninja Kakashi" in the ninja world.
He inherited the Sharingan that Obito gave him and regarded it as a precious keepsake.
“Indeed, in the world of ninjas, those who break the rules and regulations are called trash. But those who do not cherish their comrades are even worse than trash.” Obito’s words struck Kakashi’s heart like a heavy hammer, becoming a guiding principle he would remember for the rest of his life.
This statement not only influenced Kakashi's values, but also guided his actions and choices at countless crucial moments, becoming a guiding light on his path as a ninja.
Boruto looked at Kakashi, who was lost in his memories, and his expression became slightly serious. He then slowly said, "Kakashi-sensei... what if I told you that you could see him again?"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi paused for a moment, his first reaction being that Boruto was playing a prank.
After all, this statement sounds too absurd and unbelievable. I have been worshipping Obito for nearly twenty years, and you are telling me that I can see him again.
However, Kakashi quickly calmed down, realizing that Boruto was clearly not the kind of person who would make fun of such things.
A look of seeking confirmation flashed in Kakashi's eyes as he murmured, "Boruto...you mean..."
Boruto nodded and said solemnly, word by word, "Obito Uchiha... he's still alive."
After a period of complex emotions, Kakashi finally shook his head slowly, his tone tinged with bitterness: "Boruto, you don't understand Obito. He valued his comrades more than anything else. If Obito were still alive, he would definitely return to Konoha Village without hesitation."
Kakashi's tone was very firm, as if he were stating an unshakable fact.
He knew Obito's character well, knowing that he was someone who valued his comrades more than his own life. He simply assumed that Boruto had mistaken him for someone else, or that someone was using Obito's name to act recklessly.
As Kakashi spoke, his gaze fell once again on Obito's tombstone, his eyes filled with endless melancholy. His thoughts seemed to be drawn back to that era, to that guy who, like Naruto, used to say "I want to be Hokage" all the time.
The energetic Obito seemed to stand before him once more, his smile radiant, his eyes sparkling with boundless anticipation for the future.
Yes, if Obito were still alive, he would never have chosen to hide. He should have returned to Konoha more than a decade ago to carry out missions together, fight alongside me, and protect...my important comrades...
Even when the Nine-Tails' rampage broke out several years ago, if Obito had been there, given his loyal and righteous character, he would have fought to the death to protect Kushina and Naruto, who was just born at the time.
