The result was nothing!
All the records about that mission seemed too perfect; the clues to the key details were as if an invisible hand had completely erased them, leaving not a single trace of reality.
At that time, Obito was convinced that there must be a powerful force behind it all, covering up the truth and preventing him from investigating further.
This feeling of powerlessness was strikingly similar to the feeling he was experiencing in his dream.
Now, in this bizarre dream, the same attack is happening again, and the enemy's strength has been amplified to an absurd degree.
The two points corroborate each other, and a startling conclusion emerges: this is by no means a coincidence!
This is not simply an act of war.
This is... a targeted and premeditated plan!
The target is Lin!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
In the ward, Obito's chest heaved violently, as if he had fallen into an endless nightmare.
An extremely ominous premonition, like a thick, dark cloud, was rapidly enveloping his heart.
He had a strong intuition that this was not the only attack by Kirigakure!
The next one may come soon, and it will be even more deadly!
Chapter 253 Obito visits the Shonubi Bridge twice to ask for advice on age spots
in the audience.
After Kakashi understood the ins and outs of the dream,
He immediately understood what Obito was anxious about.
After all, he's been through it all.
Now, the same scenario is playing out again in this dream!
Kakashi's breathing also became rapid.
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +800!]
A sense of unease, resonating with Obito's own, arose from the depths of his heart, pounding wildly.
However, amidst his anxiety, Kakashi was also filled with great confusion.
Why? Why Lin of all people? Why do both dreams and reality seem to be targeting her?
Jiraiya noticed Kakashi's unusually serious expression.
He leaned slightly closer to Kakashi and asked in a low voice, "Kakashi... judging from your reaction... could it be that in the real world, Nohara Rin was also a victim of the Hidden Mist ninja...?"
He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already clear.
Kakashi nodded heavily, his eyes filled with pain and helplessness.
really……
Seeing this, Jiraiya sighed softly, and then used his extraordinary wisdom, gained from his extensive travels and broad knowledge, to try to analyze it from different angles.
"If reality and dreams develop in such a consistent manner... then the reason is probably not so simple."
He pondered, his eyes flickering.
"Could it be... that Lin herself possesses some extremely special talent or potential that we have never noticed?"
Jiraiya solemnly analyzed that even he himself found the conjecture somewhat absurd, but apart from that, he couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation for the time being.
Upon hearing this, Kakashi abruptly turned to look at Hiruzen Sarutobi beside him, his voice tinged with urgency.
"Third Hokage! Is there anything unusual recorded in Konoha's archives regarding Rin's background? Are there anything special about her parents?"
This sudden question caught Hiruzen Sarutobi off guard, and his expression immediately turned serious.
He slowly furrowed his brow, lost in deep thought, and tried to search his mind for all the memories he had of that girl.
After a long while, Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Rin's parents were just ordinary commoners, not even ninjas. Her background... is nothing special."
Upon hearing this answer, Kakashi's pupils constricted slightly, revealing an expression of disbelief.
If Lin's background had nothing special about it...
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he couldn't find a clue.
Why was she treated so specially?
Why is it always her who becomes the target of the Hidden Mist ninja time and time again?
Kakashi stared intently at Rin's figure on the screen, his heart filled with confusion and unease.
……
on the screen.
After exchanging greetings, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan bid farewell and left.
The tent was dimly lit, and a faint smell of medicine filled the air.
Obito sat on the makeshift hospital bed, his head bowed, his expression a mixture of inner turmoil and resentment.
He had bandages wrapped around his body, his right arm was in a cast, and he looked somewhat weak.
Lin was kneeling by the bed, carefully tidying up the blankets that had slipped off Obito, her face full of worry and comfort.
"Obito, how are you feeling? Is there anything else that hurts?" she asked softly, full of concern. "You and Kakashi are both injured and need to rest... Please stop thinking about these things, okay?"
As Rin spoke, she gently pressed down on Obito's shoulder, which he was trying to sit up, so that he could lean back against the headboard to rest.
She thought Obito was silent because of guilt and remorse, and was patiently comforting him.
However, Rin's thoughtfulness only made Obito feel a deeper sense of powerlessness and frustration.
His face was dejected, and his fists were clenched.
Lin completely misunderstood!
She had no idea that what she was truly worried about was not the battle or her injuries, but her own safety!
Obito knew very well that without solid evidence, he could not persuade Rin to leave the front lines and seek refuge.
Since he couldn't persuade her to stay away from danger... a cold glint flashed in Obito's eyes.
Therefore, the only option is to eradicate the hidden threat before the next attack!
Obito's mind raced as he quickly searched for the key to breaking the deadlock.
To prevent the conspiracy from happening, we must first find the mastermind behind it.
But who is the person who possesses the largest and most pervasive intelligence network in the entire ninja world?
In a flash, a strange figure, half black and half white, resembling a vegetable, immediately appeared in Obito's mind.
Absolutely!
Yes, that's it.
It has a White Zetsu intelligence network that spans the entire ninja world!
Although in Obito's understanding, according to the timeline of this dream, Black Zetsu should not have been born yet.
But Ah Fei is already there, and can still communicate with White Zetsu in various places.
In the real world, I had specifically questioned Jue about Lin's death.
And Jue's answer at the time was...
Before Obito questioned it, it hadn't paid any special attention to the movements of Kirigakure, so it didn't know who was behind it.
This answer sounded reasonable, and although Obito felt it was far-fetched, he couldn't find any flaws in it.
but……
The situation is different now!
The tragedy has already occurred, and subsequent investigations will be extremely difficult.
But in this dream, the attack has only just begun, and the conspiracy continues!
A glimmer of hope rekindled in Obito's eyes, and his mind raced.
If I were to go find Madara Uchiha right now and utilize the White Zetsu's intelligence network...
It's very possible that we'll catch the mastermind behind the scenes before the next attack!
This thought instantly lifted Obito's previously gloomy mood.
"not only that……"
"This dream...it's not just an illusion! There's a connection between it and reality!"
Didn't Kakashi obtain information about himself through this dream?
Since that's the case... Obito's eyes blazed with intense hatred.
"If I can successfully uncover the mastermind behind the attacks on Rin through White Zetsu's intelligence network in my dream... then..."
Bloody images flashed through his mind, and the hatred in his heart almost set him ablaze.
"I can find that damn bastard in real life! I'll skin him alive, tear him apart, and grind his bones to dust!!"
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
Obito felt his blood boiling; he knew that sitting and waiting to die was not an option.
We must act immediately and seize every second!
A strong sense of urgency drove him, even making him temporarily forget the pain in his body.
Obito took a deep breath, propped himself up with his left hand, grabbed the edge of the bed, gritted his teeth, and struggled to get up from the bed.
"Obito! What are you doing?! Your injuries haven't healed yet!"
Lin was startled when she saw him suddenly get up and quickly reached out to press his shoulder.
"Lie down and rest! You can't move around right now!"
