### Chapter 189: Kakashi: You Are Uchiha Obito

Even Uchiha Obito couldn't help but start cursing the evil Uchiha clan.

After all, what Uchiha Raijin did was infuriating—crossing the river and burning the bridge, killing the donkey after the millstone was removed, and being utterly ungrateful. These were practically this guy's trademarks.

He had never trusted anyone so much in Konoha—not even Kakashi.

After all, Kakashi didn't count as someone he trusted; at most, he was just a dog.

Obito had given the fan Uchiha Madara left him to this guy without a second thought. He even confidently helped release the Nine-Tails and assisted in intercepting the Third Hokage.

But in the end, what did he get out of it?

His identity was exposed, he lost the fan like throwing meat buns to a dog, and even his other eye was taken away.

Now, Obito wished he could find Uchiha Raijin and kill that bastard a thousand times over.

"Hmph! Even if he returns to Konoha, I'm not afraid of him."

Could it be that Fugaku left a spy in Konoha? But why is there a White Zetsu following him?

Obito couldn't help but think, but the Uchiha clan hadn't offended the four major ninja villages. So why are people still lingering here?

Now he admired Obito's mind, wondering how he could come up with such ideas.

In the next moment, something was directly pulled from behind Obito's back.

"Who are you?"

"As soon as this guy shows up, we won't even have to lift a finger; he'll be done for."

Back when Madara was choosing candidates, why didn't he find someone with more stable emotions? The Uchiha clan is just born crazy.

"This ninja world has no place for him, whether it's Konoha or the other four great nations."

Black Zetsu watched Obito's impotent rage, sighing slightly in his heart.

"After all, that guy's ability is the same as yours—a space-time dōjutsu. Missing an eye makes it hard for you to fight him."

By then, you might even lose your last Sharingan.

While Obito was still talking with Black Zetsu, a flash of lightning appeared behind him, carrying the unique aura of the Uchiha clan.

"Kakashi?"

Even though the four great ninja villages saw the Uchiha clan as easy prey.

"Buzz!"

"Now, everyone is offering bounties on Uchiha Raijin, planning to snatch a Sharingan for themselves."

Who would've thought they could be discovered even in Konoha?

But with the Fourth Ninja War looming, no one would willingly make another enemy for themselves.

The sound of thunder made the air vibrate for just a moment.

Obito declared confidently.

Someone as notorious as Uchiha Raijin would basically get jumped the moment he stepped outside.

Black Zetsu's face, originally pitch-black, showed no reaction.

He had been toyed with from beginning to end, and now could only stand in the corner, silently cursing people.

They had already checked, and most of Konoha's people had gone to shelters.

"Zzzzap."

In a split second, a flash of lightning pierced through Obito's body.

As soon as the attack struck, Obito's body began to sink.

Black Zetsu still had to protect Obito; they needed his help to complete their plan.

Now, looking at Obito's mind and the plans he had laid out, this was the only way to ease Obito's hatred.

"You should stop complaining. If Uchiha Raijin returns to Konoha, we might not be able to stop him."

Who was this guy?

Kakashi appeared silently, squinting at the figure in the black cloak.

The voice had been altered, but the phasing ability shocked Kakashi.

It's not that we didn't tell you about Uchiha Raijin!

If we had told you earlier, you'd have rushed off in a panic.

Kakashi thought for a moment, and a flash of lightning appeared in his hand.

But this attack seemed to have no effect, passing right through Obito's body and tilting forward.

He had talked with Uchiha Raijin before; Raijin's Mangekyō Sharingan technique was called Kamui. The dōjutsu of these eyes was the same.

Raijin said their dōjutsu was identical: his eye was the attacking one, and Obito's was the defensive one.

But...

How could Kamui's Sharingan ability appear here?

Uchiha Raijin must know something.

But that guy just keeps it to himself, probably planning to laugh at him.

"Konoha's top technician, the famous Copy Ninja? I thought the Uchiha clan had taken you, but here you are in Konoha."

"So, the Uchiha clan plans to attack Konoha again! Looks like I made the right move coming here."

Seeing the confusion on Kakashi's face, Obito felt relieved.

At least Uchiha Raijin hadn't revealed his identity to Kakashi.

This was a good thing for Obito; it meant his identity wasn't completely exposed.

Now, he hated seeing Kakashi's questioning expression.

This guy would probably keep asking why he didn't return to Konoha.

But... this guy didn't protect Rin.

"Where did you get that eye?"

Kakashi's eyes narrowed, and the Chidori effect appeared in his hand.

He was a ninja who relied on his mind; before their Devil Fruit abilities were exposed, they were just traditional ninjas, so they had to use traditional ninjutsu.

Creating false information could lead to unexpected ambushes.

"Maybe I dug it out of a corpse pile, or maybe I took it from a child."

"Who knows? After all, it's just a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan. Not worth remembering for so long."

Obito's figure appeared in the distance, looking at Kakashi with a calm expression.

He hadn't expected Kakashi to appear in Konoha.

He hadn't heard anything about Kakashi for a long time.

Now back in Konoha, it didn't seem like he was on Konoha's side anymore.

He wasn't even wearing his forehead protector.

Could Kakashi have defected from Konoha too?

But something about this seemed off.

" ."

Black Zetsu appeared in the distance, silently watching Obito show off.

Couldn't this guy just talk normally?

He felt Obito would reveal his own information at any moment.

" . This eye belonged to Obito. In the war, he pushed me away so I could escape."

"After the war, I tried to dig in the old place, but I didn't find Obito's body."

"I thought Iwa-nin might have taken his body as a trophy."

"But not long after, Rin and I were ambushed by a group of Kirigakure ninja!"

"After Rin died, all the Kirigakure ninja attacking me were killed, and even Rin's body disappeared."

"In everyone's mind, there was only one person who cared about Rin so much!"

"So it must be you, Obito!"

Kakashi closed his eyes, unable to believe it.

Though he had vaguely suspected it before, after so much time, he thought that if Obito, who once saw becoming Hokage as his dream, were alive, he would surely have returned to Konoha.

And he hadn't protected Rin, so if Obito were alive, he would have punched him in the face by now.

But after all this time, Obito never showed up.

Kakashi eventually convinced himself Obito was dead.

But now, seeing the same eyes with the same abilities before him, Kakashi was brought back to reality.

" ."

At this moment, both Black Zetsu and Uchiha Obito fell silent.

Black Zetsu looked at Obito, intending to help cover up the truth.

But before he could speak, Obito spoke first.

"Enough! You have no right to say Rin's name, Kakashi!"

Obito's emotions flared up, his eyes burning with anger as he stared at Kakashi.

Kakashi had no right to mention Rin's name; it was his fault for not protecting her.

He even stabbed Rin with his own Chidori!

Even though Obito knew Rin likely ran into the attack on purpose, he still couldn't forgive Kakashi.

"And besides, the name Uchiha Obito has long been abandoned. Now, I am Uchiha Madara."

"Uchiha Obito died in the Third Great Ninja War. That person is gone."

Obito placed one hand on his mask, and a chain extended from the other.

He was ready to strike Kakashi at any moment.

Now that Kakashi knew his identity, Obito couldn't let him live.

Although his identity wasn't a secret in Konoha...

But!

Obito had originally planned for Kakashi to never know his identity, so leaving the eye with him wasn't a big deal.

It would have been like letting the deceased Obito watch the world.

But now...

Obito needed to reclaim that eye.

"So it is you. I can't believe you're really alive."

"Are you blaming me for not protecting Rin?"

"If you're Obito, then the one who released the Nine-Tails and caused Sensei's death..."

Kakashi looked at Obito with a complicated expression, the lightning in his hand slowly fading away.

So it was true; this guy was Obito.

This guy had really awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Otherwise, how could his emotions be so extreme?

He was even willing to go as far as to attack his own teacher.

"That's right, I was the one who released the Nine-Tails back then. I originally planned to use it to destroy the Leaf Village and get some payback."

"But I didn't expect that our teacher still had some tricks up his sleeve. He actually managed to make me retreat in defeat!"

Obito said with a cold sneer.

"You've changed! You've become like this."

Kakashi was stunned by Obito's words.

In such a heated moment, how could he say something so cold?

Back then, both Minato-sensei and Kushina-sensei were very fond of you.
