Chapter 330 The Mysterious Masked Man Actually Became Part of the Play?
Before Obito could recover from the shock, a scene unfolded before his eyes that nearly made his brain shut down.
In the dim light of dawn, another figure emerged from the street corner not far behind Sasuke.
She was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old. She wore a light pink short skirt, her long hair cascading smoothly over her shoulders, and she had a pretty and lovely face with a naturally sweet smile.
Seeing Sasuke stop, the girl lightly ran forward, affectionately took his arm, and sweetly snuggled against him.
Her voice was clear and sweet, tinged with a hint of coquettishness: "Young Master Sasuke~ Why are you walking so fast? Wait for me~"
???
Obito stared wide-eyed at those eyes that were perfectly intact in his dream, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.
He looked the girl, who was now intimately clinging to Sasuke's arm, up and down, opened his mouth, but found himself unable to utter a single word. At that moment, he even wondered if he had fallen into some kind of absurd illusion.
In reality, Obito had already met Sasuke.
As Itachi Uchiha's younger brother, he knew a thing or two about the boy's personality and temperament.
Gloomy, aloof, taciturn, and full of hatred, he was like a silent gourd that would explode at the slightest provocation, keeping his distance from everyone.
But what is he seeing now?!
A smiling, even slightly arrogant, Uchiha Sasuke!
He was arm-in-arm with a young girl, so intimately, and he actually seemed to be enjoying it?!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
Perhaps because Obito had been staring blankly for too long and his facial expression was too interesting, Sasuke finally noticed that something was wrong with him.
Sasuke led the girl closer to Obito, raised his hand and shook it vigorously in front of him, calling out with a puzzled look, "Hey, Obito-sensei? Snap out of it!"
Sasuke looked his teacher up and down, his expression stiff, and frowned in surprise: "What are you daydreaming about so early in the morning? Didn't you sleep well last night? Or—"
Changing the subject abruptly, he leaned closer, a mischievous smile playing on his lips, and whispered wickedly, "You're mesmerized by my darling?"
"That won't do, teacher, she's mine!"
*Pfft*
Upon hearing this, the girl couldn't help but laugh, raising her hand to cover her red lips as she giggled.
She blinked her big, watery eyes, looked Obito up and down, who was still frozen in shock, and said playfully, "Young Master Sasuke, your teacher seems a little slow-witted, doesn't he?"
Teasing from the girl, Sasuke immediately feigned displeasure and clicked his tongue. Turning his head, he tapped the girl's smooth forehead with his finger, saying half-reprimanding and half-pampering, "Sweetie, you can't say that. Obito-sensei is an elite Jonin in the village, his strength is quite formidable. You have to respect your teacher."
The girl stuck out her tongue, looking embarrassed.
However, before he could finish speaking, Sasuke suddenly reached out and gently pinched the girl's soft cheek, his dark pupils flashing with a flirtatious and alluring light.
"However, your daring to tease even a Jonin is what fascinates me the most~"
The girl's pretty face instantly flushed red, and she lowered her eyes shyly, but instead she held Sasuke's arm even tighter, leaning half of her body into his embrace.
Stomp, stomp.
Obito's body uncontrollably staggered back two large steps.
What the hell?!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
Obito stared dumbfounded at the two young people flirting and teasing each other as if no one else was around, feeling as if his worldview had shattered into pieces at that moment.
He, the mighty Obito Uchiha, the mastermind behind the scenes, actually became a part of the game?
Has the world gone mad, or has he gone mad?!
"Obito-sensei?" Sasuke noticed his teacher's unusual condition and quickly suppressed his smile, asking with concern, "Are you alright? You look terrible."
The girl next to him also curiously peered at Obito, clearly not understanding why the teacher was reacting so strongly.
Obito opened his mouth, but no sound came out. His mind was in complete chaos, and he didn't know how to respond.
in the audience.
Naruto pleaded and begged relentlessly, and finally succeeded in getting Sasuke to sit in the seat next to him again.
Although the two were sitting side by side, their expressions were completely different.
On the giant screen, the arrogant version of Sasuke is embracing a girl, making frivolous and unrestrained jokes.
In reality, Sasuke's eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly uncontrollably, and he seemed to have been struck by lightning, frozen on the spot from head to toe.
It's worth noting that Naruto had previously encountered an overly cheerful Sasuke in his dream, which severely challenged Sasuke's limits of understanding.
But the guy on the screen right now—this guy who's acting frivolously and parading around with a female companion—is practically at the level of mental pollution!
Sasuke even felt a sudden dizziness and lightheadedness.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +100!]
Naruto, sitting next to him, also stared wide-eyed at the screen, his mouth agape in an exaggerated "O" shape.
However, unlike Sasuke's extreme shame and indignation, Naruto's face showed more shock, confusion, and disbelief.
Especially when he saw Sasuke on the screen make the pretty girl blush and blush with shyness with just a few words, Naruto couldn't help but swallow hard and mutter, "Wow, so amazing—he's so good at talking—"
For Naruto, whose luck with the opposite sex is practically disastrous, this is an ability that seems to exist in another dimension.
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
However, his soft mutterings were still remarkably clear in the otherwise silent audience.
Sasuke suddenly turned his head, his scarlet Sharingan staring intently at Naruto, its light tinged with shame, anger, and murderous intent.
"Idiot, say it again, what's so great about it?!"
"Absolutely disgusting!"
"Yeah, right!" Sakura, sitting on Sasuke's other side, instantly bristled. Her long pink hair almost stood on end in anger. She slammed her fist on the armrest of her seat, her almond-shaped eyes wide as she glared at Naruto and shrieked, "Naruto, what kind of taste do you have?!"
Sakura pointed angrily at Sasuke, who was still flirting on the screen, her voice trembling with rage.
"That's not impressive?! That's just disgusting! Absolutely disgusting! Vulgar! Frivolous! Shameless! It's completely ruining Sasuke-kun's image!"
[Ding! Sakura Haruno's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
Sakura was absolutely furious.
In her opinion, every word Sasuke said and every action he took on the screen was an eyesore.
Startled by the sudden outburst of anger from the two, Naruto instinctively shrank back and quickly whispered in protest, "I... I only said he can talk, I didn't say anything else—"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized he had said the wrong thing.
Especially when he saw Sakura's murderous gaze and Sasuke's face as black as the bottom of a pot, Naruto wisely shut his mouth.
However, he couldn't help but sneak glances at the screen, muttering to himself.
It's strange, but isn't it amazing that it can make a girl so happy?
Just then, Sasuke keenly noticed that all the gazes from the surrounding audience were fixed on him.
Kaori, standing next to Naruto, pushed up her red-rimmed glasses, her red eyes scanning back and forth between the frivolous and unrestrained Sasuke on the screen and the ashen-faced Sasuke in his seat.
Her expression became extremely subtle and complex, and finally, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Xiang seemed to want to say something, but ultimately forced herself to hold it back, though her gaze toward Sasuke had become incredibly strange.
Finally, she even glanced at Naruto with a strange look of satisfaction, leaving Naruto completely bewildered.
Although Konan maintained her aloof and indifferent expression, she couldn't help but glance at Sasuke briefly before looking back at the screen, shaking her head slightly as if sighing silently that the prestigious Uchiha clan had produced such a wretched figure.
But even that casual glance from her made Sasuke feel like he was being pricked by needles.
Even Nagato, who was always expressionless, stared intently at him at this moment.
Not to mention Kakashi, who simply covered his face with one hand, unable to bear looking at him.
Sasuke felt his face burning red, the redness spreading from his cheeks to his ears, and even his neck was hot.
He wished he could immediately unleash a powerful fireball at that giant screen and burn the guy on it who had humiliated him to ashes.
Too shameful!
He had never been so humiliated!
What exactly is that thing on the screen?
Why would you do something like that while wearing his face?
And he even said such disgusting things?
And it was actually seen by people—by so many people right there!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +800!]
Sasuke kept his head down, his black bangs falling down to try and hide his flushed cheeks and murderous glare.
on the screen.
Obito felt as if his worldview had completely collapsed into pieces.
The person who started this chaos seems to have finally noticed his teacher Obito's unusually abnormal expression.
Sasuke released his grip on the girl's hand, habitually raising his hand to smooth a stray strand of unruly black hair from his forehead, a gesture exuding nonchalant elegance.
He tilted his head slightly, looking Obito, who was still standing there stiffly, up and down with his smiling eyes, his gaze finally settling on Obito's empty forehead.
He raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, "Obito-sensei, where's your headband? Why aren't you wearing it today? This isn't like you at all."
"Huh? Headband?" Obito was jolted awake by the sudden question, and his thoughts began to return to normal from the chaos.
He subconsciously touched his smooth forehead, coughed twice, forced himself to calm down, and squeezed out a normal tone to say, "Uh, well—I was in a hurry this morning, so I... forgot to bring it."
The excuse was incredibly clumsy, but Obito, whose brain was severely overloaded at the moment, couldn't come up with a better explanation.
Fortunately, Sasuke didn't delve into it. He simply nodded with a look of realization, his face once again displaying that dazzlingly bright smile.
"I see. I was just about to go to your house to look for you, teacher. I didn't expect to run into you here by such a coincidence."
Sasuke spoke in a light and casual tone, as if he were very familiar with Obito.
Obito caught this information and his heart stirred slightly.
Looking for me?
He suppressed his turbulent thoughts, calmed himself down, and began to quickly analyze the situation before him.
Putting aside Sasuke's devastating personality change, the way Sasuke addressed me just now, and the natural interaction between us, all of this suggests that the relationship between the two in this dream world is anything but simple; they are probably very close.
As a former Konoha ninja, Obito was well-versed in Konoha's ninja training and master-disciple system.
Generally speaking, genin or chunin tend to only get close to their direct jonin squad leader. As for other jonin, their interactions are at most official business or polite exchanges between seniors and juniors.
There is absolutely no way that Sasuke would treat him so casually and intimately.
In other words, the Sasuke in this dream is either a subordinate he once directly led and guided, or there is some deeper connection between the two.
An almost absurd guess quietly took shape in Obito's mind.
Could it be that in this absurd dream, I've become Sasuke Uchiha's Jonin leader? Just like Kakashi led Team 7 back then?
This idea seemed absurd to Obito himself, as if his life had been switched with Kakashi's, making him both laughable and pathetic, but it also seemed to be one of the most reasonable explanations at present.
If that's the case, then many of the previous puzzling anomalies would make sense.
But then, an even bigger question arose in my mind.
If I become Sasuke's teacher, then where is the person who was supposed to take on this role?
Thinking of this, Obito cleared his throat slightly, trying to make his tone sound like casual conversation, and asked, "Sasuke, where's Kakashi?"
The moment the name was uttered, Obito felt his heart beat a few beats faster.
For him, the name Kakashi carries too many complex emotions.
However, Sasuke's reaction was completely unexpected by Obito.
Upon hearing the name Kakashi, Sasuke's bright smile froze for a moment, his eyes widening slightly, filled with confusion.
"Kakashi?" He repeated it subconsciously, then looked down at the girl still nestled beside him and asked疑惑地问道, "Hey, baby, have you ever heard of—someone named Kakashi?"
The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Is it some elder from the village?"
She immediately shook her head and answered crisply, "No, Sasuke-sama, I've never heard of that name. Is this Obito-sensei your friend?"
Obito was completely stunned.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
Sasuke and the girl reacted naturally and smoothly, without the slightest trace of acting.
Clearly, they genuinely didn't know who Kakashi was.
This fact shocked Obito even more than the dramatic change in Sasuke's personality.
He originally thought that Sasuke would at least reply with something like, "Kakashi-senpai is on a mission" or "Kakashi-sensei is on vacation today."
However, Sasuke's current reaction is that he has never heard of this name before.
What does this mean?
Could it be that Kakashi doesn't exist at all in this dream world? Or is his presence so weak that even the young master of the Uchiha clan has never heard of him?
Obito's expression froze completely.
He just stared blankly at Sasuke, who was still confused, and the equally bewildered girl beside him.
If Kakashi doesn't exist, then—what about Rin?
Obito's fist had clenched without him even realizing it.
A morning breeze swept by, and he couldn't help but shiver, feeling a bone-chilling cold rising from the depths of his heart.
