Chapter 150 Creeping, Keep Creeping
As soon as Obito said this, an eerie silence fell over the scene.
Kakashi and Obito locked eyes, both seeing shock and complex emotions in each other's gaze.
The air seemed to freeze, and a silent standoff unfolded between the two.
Obito froze for a few seconds, then suddenly realized what he had just said. He was filled with remorse and wished he could punch himself. How could he have been so stupid as to say that out loud!
Worse still, this one sentence completely shattered his carefully maintained facade of identity.
At this moment, Obito finally understood.
It was obvious that the young Kakashi in front of them was not an ordinary dream phantom, but the real Hatake Kakashi!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
No wonder Kakashi's reactions were so abnormal before—Obito gritted his teeth and quickly weighed the situation in his mind.
Kakashi's self-light, however, became increasingly dangerous.
Although he had long suspected from various clues that the masked man was Obito, Kakashi still held a sliver of hope that it was all just a misunderstanding until he had concrete evidence.
However, Obito's words were like a heavy hammer blow, shattering Kakashi's last hope.
The thought that the deaths of the Fourth Hokage and his wife, the Nine-Tails' rampage, the attack on Konoha, and his own imprisonment in the Kamui dimension—all these events that shook Konoha—were actually orchestrated by Obito!
A surge of rage welled up in Kakashi's chest, and his face beneath his silver hair twisted slightly with fury.
Kakashi gritted his teeth and growled, "Why?! Obito, why did you do those things?!"
He was practically screaming as he questioned.
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
Driven by anger, Kakashi unconsciously increased the pressure on his hand.
He suddenly moved his right hand, which was gripping Obito's collar, upwards and grabbed Obito's throat, pressing him firmly against the corridor wall!
"Ugh!" Obito's back slammed against the cold wall, and he felt a tightness in his throat, a feeling of suffocation instantly engulfing his entire body.
His eyes widened, and he instinctively grabbed Kakashi's wrists with both hands, struggling violently.
However, Kakashi's hands were like steel clamps, how could he easily break free?
Obito felt as if the five fingers on his neck were iron, clamping down hard on his trachea, and the air was forcibly blocked from his lungs!
Within a few breaths, his cheeks turned red, and he coughed painfully. His legs kicked incessantly, but he couldn't budge Kakashi an inch.
The feeling of suffocation grew stronger, Obito's vision blurred, and the burning pain in his chest gradually made his consciousness fade.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
Just as Obito's eyes rolled back and his consciousness began to fade, a clear, melodious girl's voice suddenly rang out from afar: "What are you doing! Kakashi, how could you do this to Obito!"
His voice was filled with anger, mixed with a clear hint of panic.
Kakashi was jolted awake by a familiar voice that suddenly rang in his ears, jolting him back to his senses.
Turning my head, I saw Lin running anxiously from the other end of the corridor!
"Rin?!" Kakashi's pupils contracted slightly, his heart skipped a beat, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, which were originally red with anger.
Almost instinctively, he quickly released his grip on Obito.
Lin rushed forward quickly, and without saying a word, pulled Kakashi away and rescued Obito, who had been forced to kneel on the ground, from his grasp.
Kakashi was pushed back half a step before he finally snapped out of his out-of-control rage.
Obito lost his footing and collapsed to the ground with a thud. He immediately covered his neck with his hand and greedily gasped for air. He coughed violently and gasped for breath, like a fish that had been thrown back into the water from the shore.
Kakashi almost strangled him to death on the spot!
Even now, breathing the air of freedom after surviving the ordeal, Obito's mind is still reeling with fear.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +800!]
Lin quickly bent down to support Obito, gently patting his back to help him catch his breath.
Seeing Obito's disheveled state, Rin was both anxious and distressed: "Obito, how are you?!"
She frantically tried to check Obito's neck injury, her voice trembling with anger and anxiety.
After a long while, Obito finally managed to catch his breath.
His face flushed red and then pale, his throat burned with pain, and his eyes, filled with shock and anger, looked up at Kakashi—if Rin hadn't appeared in time, would Kakashi have really—killed him?!
Seeing that Obito had barely recovered, Rin turned around, her pretty face filled with anger as she spread her arms to protect him.
Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she lashed out at Kakashi without any politeness, shouting, "Kakashi! What were you trying to do? How could you hit Obito so hard! He's our comrade!"
in the audience.
Sakura suddenly stood up from her seat.
She stared incredulously at the screen, exclaiming in disbelief, "Look! They—they're fighting!"
[Ding! Sakura Haruno's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
However, no one responded to her shout.
On the other side of the audience, Sasuke was taking the opportunity to ask Jiraiya about various training issues, while Naruto listened attentively, nodding seriously from time to time, clearly also gaining a lot.
The three of them were probably too engrossed in their work to notice the sudden conflict unfolding on the screen.
on the screen.
Obito looked up and met Kakashi's angry and complicated gaze, and thought to himself, "This is bad, my identity is completely exposed now!"
Kakashi had definitely recognized him, but with Rin still present, Obito naturally didn't want her to know the real conflict that had occurred between the two of them.
He forced a smile and was about to say something when Kakashi suddenly stepped forward, his sharp gaze shooting straight at Rin.
Kakashi's body tensed up, and the chilling killing intent emanating from him made Obito's heart skip a beat.
Seeing Kakashi's gaze, Obito's expression also darkened.
"Kakashi—." Obito's voice was low and hoarse, tinged with anger, "Don't give us that look. You don't deserve it!"
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
Kakashi, upon hearing this, felt a surge of satisfaction, but his expression grew even angrier: "What did you say?!"
Kakashi never expected that Obito, who had already been caught red-handed, would still be so self-righteous.
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Lin was stunned by the tense atmosphere between the two.
In just a few minutes, things seemed to have completely spiraled out of her comprehension: how could two friends who were perfectly fine just moments before suddenly be fighting like enemies?!
She glanced at Obito with concern, then turned to look at Kakashi, noticing that both of them wore expressions of unprecedented seriousness and anger.
That look in her eyes, as if she regarded the other person as a mortal enemy, made Lin Fang's heart sink.
What exactly happened to turn these once close teammates into this?
Lin was bewildered and frightened, completely unable to understand the reason.
Especially considering how ruthless Kakashi's attack was just now, if he hadn't stopped him in time, Obito would probably have—!
Lin felt a lump in her throat, and her eyes involuntarily reddened.
Tears welled in her eyes as she tried to hold them back, and her voice trembled with sobs: "Kakashi, Obito! What happened to you two? Why did you suddenly start fighting? Kakashi, you hit me so hard just now, you almost strangled Obito to death!"
As Lin finished speaking, she couldn't hold back any longer, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She was truly angry and frightened, and cried her heart out, looking utterly pitiful.
Kakashi looked at the tears rolling down Rin's cheeks and felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart, instantly cooling down most of his anger.
He opened his mouth, but the sound lingered in his throat, as if he was about to say something.
But then it suddenly occurred to me that there were audiences outside this dream world.
Thinking of this, Kakashi's anger gradually subsided, his complex gaze flickered a few times, and finally he slowly closed his mouth, choosing to remain silent.
Seeing this, Obito also fell silent. After a moment, Obito suddenly stepped forward and patted Rin on the shoulder.
"Rin, don't cry!" Obito gave Rin a forced, relaxed smile and a thumbs-up.
"Hehe, were you scared by us just now? Actually, we were just playing... role-playing!"
Rin stopped crying, stared blankly at Obito, and didn't react for a moment.
Kakashi also said: "Obito, you—"
Without a word, Obito grabbed Kakashi's neck and practically dragged him to his side.
Obito grinned dryly twice, then pretended to be a close buddy with Rin: "See, we're really good friends, how could we possibly have a fight! We were just role-playing, just kidding!"
Lin's eyes widened, even more bewildered for a moment: "Acting?!"
Kakashi was being choked by Obito and was having trouble breathing. He instinctively tried to break free, but seeing the shocked and bewildered look on Rin's face...
His heart softened, and he didn't immediately push Obito away.
Seeing this, Obito secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then hooked his arm around Kakashi's neck tightly and urged in a low voice, "Cooperate a little!"
Kakashi, left with no choice but to nod in agreement, reluctantly agreed.
He turned his face away and said awkwardly in a low voice, "Uh, yes—Lin, we were just doing a drill. We didn't really fight, so don't worry."
Lin wiped away her tears, still somewhat doubtful: "R-really?"
Kakashi nodded, pointing at Obito with his right hand: "By the way, this idea was Obito's!"
"Huh?!" Obito's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Kakashi. "Kakashi, you bastard, you're clearly... [Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]"
Lin stared blankly at the two teenagers in front of her, who were singing in unison.
Her expression shifted from surprise to anger, and she stomped her foot in frustration: "You two—!"

Lin was so angry she stomped her foot, tears welling up in her eyes again. "How could you make such a joke? It's too much!"
She turned away, choking back tears, and said, "Obito, I'm never talking to you again!"
After saying that, she covered her face, cried sadly, and ran back to the classroom.
in the audience.
Sakura was already engrossed in watching, so excited that she leaned forward slightly, afraid of missing any detail on the screen.
[Ding! Sakura Haruno's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
She cupped her face in her hands, her eyes practically sparkling with curiosity: "My goodness—Kakashi-sensei's childhood love life was so complicated!"
Sakura felt like this scene was straight out of a soap opera, with a complicated love triangle seemingly existing between the three seniors:
Obito likes Rin, Rin cares about Kakashi, but Kakashi and Obito become enemies and fight each other!
This complicated relationship thrilled her, and she kept imagining all sorts of exciting scenarios.
"I never expected this!" Sakura exclaimed excitedly to herself, "So Kakashi-sensei had these kinds of chaotic situations when he was young!"
She was so excited that her breathing became rapid, and she couldn't wait to take out her notebook and write down this gossip to savor later.
On the other side, Jiraiya maintained his lecturing posture, but now he had a look of utter despair on his face.
He hung his head listlessly, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant, and sighed inwardly, "What the hell... this Uchiha brat, why does he ask so many questions?!"
Jiraiya forced himself to stay alert and answered Sasuke's barrage of questions about training, his lips practically worn out from talking so much he was inwardly groaning:
Even in a dream, he wants to drag this old man into giving a lecture? That's outrageous!
If it weren't for the fact that they were both juniors from Konoha, he would have liked to slap this clueless brat unconscious.
[Ding! Jiraiya's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
on the screen.
Lin's figure had disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
Obito stared in the direction Rin had run off in, then stretched out a hand in frustration: "No, no, it really wasn't my idea!"
Unfortunately, all that answered him was an empty echo.
Obito turned around angrily and grabbed Kakashi by the collar: "Kakashi, you bastard! You're the one who caused all this trouble!"
"You actually—"
That bastard Kakashi, how dare he try to shift the blame onto him!!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +800!]
However, Kakashi's expression remained unusually calm, his dark eyes fixed intently on Obito Uchiha in front of him.
Feeling Kakashi's gaze, Obito turned his head away and loosened his grip on Kakashi.
Kakashi slowly spoke: "Obito—why—"
He stopped speaking halfway through his sentence, his voice hoarse, the rest of his words choked by bitterness in his throat.
Upon hearing this, Obito let out a low, bitter laugh: "Heh heh heh—why? I want to know why too!"
He whirled around, staring directly at Kakashi again, his eyes filled with suppressed pain and madness. "Kakashi, do you know? I saw it!"
Kakashi's heart skipped a beat, his pupils suddenly contracting: "You saw it? You saw what?"
Could it be?
Deep within his mind, a bloody image flashed uncontrollably: the Third Shinobi World War, at Kannabi Bridge, where he had personally pierced the girl's chest with his Lightning Blade.
Lin's sorrowful smile mingled with the splattering blood, transforming into an indelible dream!
Kakashi's face turned deathly pale, and he stumbled back half a step: "Could it be—because of that?!"
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
"Is it because of that that you blame me?" Kakashi's voice trembled.
Obito coldly interrupted Kakashi: "What's the point of blaming you for that ridiculous reality?!"
He suddenly burst into two wild laughs, his laughter filled with mockery and desolation. "I have no interest in that world anymore!"
Kakashi was struck dumb upon hearing this, and his mind went completely blank.
He stared at Obito, opened his mouth in disbelief, but didn't know what to say.
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +800!]
Obito slowly approached Kakashi, his smile abruptly vanishing, replaced by an endless chill.
He stared intently into Kakashi's eyes and said, enunciating each word clearly, "And you listen to me carefully, Kakashi!"
Obito abruptly raised his hand, pointing in the direction Rin had left, his voice low and firm, "You won't get away with anything to Rin again!"
Kakashi was deeply shaken and blurted out, "I will never—"
"I don't need your guarantees!" Obito interrupted him sharply. "If anything happens to her, I will absolutely not let you off the hook, absolutely!"
