"Is this guy with the goggles that good? He completed two missions so quickly."
Naruto stared wide-eyed at the boy Obito on the screen in amazement.
"That's incredible," Sakura nodded in agreement.
"I never would have guessed that Obito was so capable when it came to getting things done."
Even Sasuke, who is usually calm and composed, raised his eyebrows slightly at this moment, clearly somewhat surprised.
As a member of Class 7, he had a deep understanding of this kind of chores involving finding things.
"Back when our Class 7 was first formed, didn't we also do a lot of tasks with Kakashi-sensei, like finding cats and dogs, searching for lost items, and weeding?"
Naruto scratched his head with a sigh and muttered to the two people next to him.
"These tasks sound simple, but they're really troublesome! Super tiring..."
"Yes, we were really tormented back then."
Sakura pouted, recalling her embarrassing history of catching cats, and looked at Obito busy on the screen with a face full of sympathy.
"But Obito took care of both of them by himself. His efficiency is too high."
Sasuke didn't interrupt, but nodded silently.
His gaze returned to the boy wearing goggles, and a sense of admiration arose in his heart.
This guy seems carefree, but he's actually quite serious when it comes to tasks...
On the other side, Obito, who was sitting not far from the three, heard their discussion and finally calmed down completely.
The last trace of anger that had lingered in his heart had dissipated, replaced by an undisguised little bit of smugness.
Sasuke, standing to the side, squinted and thoughtfully examined the masked man not far away.
In fact, Sasuke had a bold guess in his mind: Could this mysterious masked man be Obito Uchiha from the screen?
After all, he seems to be very familiar with Kakashi-sensei, and his behavior today is also quite strange.
However, after seeing the scene on the screen, he dismissed this conjecture.
After all, the masked man is a ruthless and dangerous individual who has plotted attacks on Konoha and manipulated the Nine-Tails behind the scenes. He is a "murderer" who has killed countless people.
On screen, Obito is portrayed as sunny, kind, and helpful, deeply loved by the villagers...
The two are worlds apart; how could they possibly be the same person?
Sasuke felt utterly ridiculous for connecting this deranged masked man in front of him with Kakashi-sensei's best friend.
"I'm probably overthinking it."
Sasuke shook his head almost imperceptibly, dismissing the unrealistic speculation from his mind.
The lingering suspicion in his eyes towards the masked man gradually faded, replaced by his usual wariness and disgust.
……
Meanwhile, the dream on the screen continues.
In the scene, Obito easily completes the third task of finding the cat with the help of several old women.
He successfully completed all the tasks before noon.
……
In the audience, Sakura watched with admiration and exclaimed, "Obito is amazing! He's so popular among the villagers!"
She rested her chin on her hand, looking on with envy. "Look at him, he completed three tasks in just one morning and gained the affection of so many people."
Naruto put his hands behind his head, grinned, and said to Sakura and Sasuke.
"I always thought this guy was pretty good, and I was right!"
His casual remark nearly made Obito fall off his seat.
The masked man turned to stare at Naruto as if he couldn't believe his ears: "You—what did you say?!"
He raised a trembling finger and pointed at Naruto, then at the boy on the screen who was chatting and laughing with the villagers.
"You like—that guy?!"
"Yes, what else?"
Naruto nodded matter-of-factly and said coldly, "And a bastard like you will never be liked by anyone in your life!"
"you--"
Obito raised his hand and pointed at Naruto, wanting to refute him, but his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and he couldn't make a sound.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
…………
The night passed quickly.
At dawn, the village of Konoha in the real world gradually came into the light.
Kakashi Hatake slowly woke up in his home.
Those warm and familiar moments from my dream still linger in my memory.
The image of young Obito's sunny smile, Rin's worried expression, and the three former comrades standing side by side once again...
Everything was so warm.
However, as consciousness returned, the chill of reality quickly crept in.
In a daze, Kakashi suddenly sensed something strange.
An instinctive sense of crisis made his hair stand on end!
A dark shadow suddenly appeared in the originally dim and quiet room!
He suddenly jolted awake, all sleepiness instantly gone.
Out of the corner of his eye, Kakashi caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a figure sitting at the head of the bed. His nerves instantly tensed, and almost instinctively, he sat up, his right hand swiftly reaching under the pillow.
However, the kunai that was usually a must-have was not delivered.
Kakashi had a bad feeling. He immediately lowered his center of gravity, assumed a defensive posture, and shouted sharply, "Who?!"
In the darkness, a mask slowly appeared.
"Kakashi!"
A deep, chilling voice came from behind the mask, filled with suppressed rage!
A few beads of cold sweat trickled down Kakashi's forehead: "Obito, what are you—"
Obito completely ignored Kakashi, and suddenly raised his right hand, striking Kakashi's chest with lightning speed!
"Get in here!"
Immediately afterwards, the air suddenly distorted, and a vortex-shaped spacetime black hole appeared out of thin air.
The vortex spun rapidly, releasing a powerful attraction.
Kakashi didn't even have time to struggle before his body was involuntarily pulled into that terrifying suction force!
"Well--!"
Kakashi groaned, and the world spun before his eyes.
The next second, he was swallowed up and vanished from his room in an instant!
Chapter 196 Tsunade: Nonsense! You're not allowed to go save Orochimaru!
early morning.
Training Ground No. 3, located on the north side of Konoha Village.
The three little ones were gathered under a large, leafy tree, looking rather bored.
Naruto sat cross-legged on the ground, complaining about something from time to time.
Sakura stood to the side with her hands on her hips, her brows furrowed.
Sasuke leaned against the tree trunk, his arms crossed in front of his chest, looking impatient.
"What's wrong with Kakashi-sensei?! He's late again!" Naruto complained loudly.
"Yeah, right!" Sakura hummed softly, picking up the thread, "Kakashi-sensei is great in every way, except he's always so late, it's unbearable..."
Sasuke didn't speak, but his thin lips were tightly pressed together, clearly indicating that he wasn't in a good mood either.
After Jiraiya left Konoha to investigate intelligence elsewhere, Naruto returned to his daily life as a member of Team 7.
Under Kakashi's guidance, he diligently practiced ninjutsu in his spare time during his daily missions.
After waiting for a long time without seeing the teacher, the three of them began to complain.
"The sun's already high in the sky today, I wonder if he's run into that lost old lady again..." Naruto muttered to himself, craning his neck to look towards the entrance of the training ground.
Sakura rolled her eyes: "Hmph, even if we really encountered an old lady, it wouldn't take this long to help her cross the street, right? Kakashi-sensei must have been staying up all night watching 'Make-Out Paradise' again..."
Hearing Sakura's吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to complain or criticize), Naruto couldn't help but nod like a chicken pecking at rice.
Sasuke gave a low hum, which was taken as agreement with the two of them.
Just as their dissatisfaction was growing, a familiar voice came from the forest path not far away.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting... I'm sorry I'm late today."
"Kakashi-sensei, why are you always—"
Naruto looked up abruptly upon hearing the sound, turned around, and was about to yell at the person who had come in, but when he saw what the person looked like, he stopped talking abruptly.
Kakashi, leaning on his leg, limped slowly from under the shade of the trees.
A large bruise was visible around his right eye, and half of his cheek was swollen and bruised, making him look extremely disheveled.
"Whoa! Kakashi-sensei, what's wrong with you?!" Naruto exclaimed, almost doubting his own eyes.
Upon hearing Naruto's shout, Sakura and Sasuke noticed Kakashi's unusual behavior.
They rushed forward, their earlier dissatisfaction instantly turning into concern.
