Chapter 356 Masked Man: No wonder
"Kakashi-sensei, please don't go to Sunagakure anymore! We'll help you, Sasuke, right?"
"Um."
"Sasuke is Orochimaru's disciple. If Sasuke goes and talks to him, he should be able to help you, Kakashi-sensei, resurrect him using the Impure World Reincarnation technique."
"Um."
"Moreover, Brother Bai Mo said that the Rain Village has developed a method to revive people, but unfortunately I lost the competition and couldn't revive my mother."
"Uh-huh?!"
Sasuke, who was originally just a ruthless nodding machine, looked over in astonishment when he suddenly heard Naruto mention "resurrection".
"Is there really a resurrection?"
Sasuke hurriedly pressed for more information.
Naruto said he almost revived his mother, so doesn't that mean he also has a chance to revive his family?
"Yes, although I don't know how they did it."
Naruto scratched his head and nodded.
Kakashi watched helplessly as the two of them veered off-topic during their conversation.
Kakashi wasn't surprised by the resurrection.
After all, Kakashi already knew about the plan to revive Rin and even participated in a key part of it—entering the illusion world and materializing a part of Rin's body.
The purpose of reviving Lin was to bring his former best friend back to the right path.
Similarly, what Kakashi needs to do now is to increase the odds and probability of "returning to the right path".
"Cough cough."
Kakashi coughed, reminding Naruto and Sasuke.
"Oh right, Sasuke, let's not ask about that. Let's deal with Kakashi-sensei first."
Naruto slapped his forehead, realizing what he had just realized.
"Kakashi, this Obito Uchiha in the file, he's your former teammate, right?"
Sasuke nodded, then asked Kakashi a question.
"To be precise, we are best friends. We've known each other since we were little. Our relationship is... just like yours and Naruto's. Obito was also impulsive, and his goal was also to become Hokage."
Kakashi glanced at Naruto and recounted the past with some emotion.
at the same time.
The masked man arrived in Konoha.
He came looking for Kakashi.
Since giving Kakashi a large amount of Hashirama cells last time, the masked man had been on guard for a long time and had not encountered Kakashi using Kamui to transfer any strange things in again.
This aroused the masked man's suspicion.
—Is Kakashi dead?
Or did he pretend to be a concerned citizen last time and report Kakashi to the Inuzuka, Hyuga, and Aburame trio, and Kakashi was actually arrested?
To check on Kakashi's condition, the masked man returned to Konoha.
Then you see Kakashi chasing after Sasuke as he leaves.
After confirming that Kakashi was alright, the masked man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Perhaps it's just because the ninja world is too peaceful right now, so Kakashi doesn't need to use Kamui at all."
The masked man found an excuse for himself, and then, with the mindset of "since I'm already here," he decided to follow and see what Kakashi was doing.
Kakashi is telling Naruto and Sasuke about his past with Obito.
"Kakashi-sensei, what's your opinion of Obito Uchiha's grandmother?"
Naruto couldn't wait any longer and interrupted Kakashi's nostalgic storytelling.
"Um?"
The masked man who happened to arrive was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
What does it mean to "how do I view my grandmother"?
Is "grandma" referring to a generational title or a body part?
To be honest, the masked man's first thought was the latter.
He preferred to believe that Kakashi coveted his background rather than that Kakashi had any connection with his grandmother.
His grandmother was just an ordinary old woman who passed away a long time ago.
"she……"
Kakashi looked conflicted, even showing signs of pain.
It makes one's imagination run wild.
—In reality, what pained Kakashi was that he had to say these words himself, nailing himself to the pillar of shame, all for a plausible reason.
In this plan, Rin's resurrection doesn't need any reason. With Kakashi around, it's normal for him to want to revive Rin in order to make up for past mistakes.
Even if Obito knew, it wouldn't be a problem; it would be perfectly reasonable.
But there's no reason to revive or resurrect Obito using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
This is as if they are openly telling the other party, "We are deliberately resurrecting and imprisoning your loved ones to force you to make a choice."
If this meaning is present in the text, and the masked man realizes the problem, it might actually strengthen his resolve.
Therefore, there must be a suitable reason for Obito's grandmother to appear.
Kakashi, once again, took on the responsibility of providing a reason.
"You were born before I was born, and I was born after you had grown old."
Kakashi closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face, and recited verses from the "Kim Man" series.
Yes, there are poems in the "Jingman" series.
Moreover, these verses are very catchy and have a wider reach than any senryu poetry.
For example, in the "Genius" series, during the first Five Kage Summit, the inherently evil Madara Uchiha drugged the venue with a female drug, turning the venue into an unsightly place.
A poem describes what the five shadows do: "Clinging firmly to the green hills, their roots firmly planted in the broken rocks. A thousand blows and ten thousand strikes cannot break their strength; they stand firm against the winds from all directions."
-
"I only regret that I wasn't born when she was young, that she was already old when I was born, and that she was gone when I grew up..."
Kakashi knew that Naruto and Sasuke lacked the knowledge to understand poetry, so he simply gave them a classical Chinese interpretation.
"really."
Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a glance.
As expected, Kakashi-sensei and his best friend's grandmother have a problem.
"What is this guy talking about?"
The masked man's expression beneath the mask was one of utter shock.
His current mood is no less than that of someone who has been applying serum for months and suddenly discovers that the middle character is just a sticker.
Kakashi, unaware that there were others present, forced back his words, suppressing his pain and sorrow:
"The first time I met her, she approached me, hoping I could help take care of her grandson, and she even gave me a grilled fish."
When I took the grilled fish, I touched her weathered hands, and my heart fluttered, keeping me tossing and turning all night.
Later, she learned that Obito had caused trouble at school and came to my door again.
I personally cooked grilled fish to treat her.
...Later, she said she felt her days were numbered and wanted to entrust her grandson to me.
That night, we... you understand.
Then she passed away, and I failed her; I didn't protect Obito. Sigh.
Naruto and Sasuke didn't care about this story at all.
Their goal was simply to confirm that Kakashi had this relationship.
However, the masked man almost exploded after hearing this.
He quickly transferred himself to the Kamui dimension; if he stayed even a second longer, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist messing with Kakashi.
"No wonder Kakashi doesn't seem to like Rin at all, even though she's so cute..."
As the masked man reflected on the past, everything suddenly became clear to him.
