Chapter 87 Murdering Nagato
Chapter 88 Murdering Nagato
The sky was high and the clouds were light, the wind was gentle and the sun was shining, a warm breeze was blowing, and birds were singing and flowers were blooming.
Obito opened his eyes again, looking at this place that seemed both familiar and strange, and at the cute girl running towards him.
"Obito~"
Lin's eyes sparkled with joy, and her smiling face brought happiness to everyone who saw her.
Being called so affectionately by his goddess should have made Obito overjoyed, but for some reason, he just stared blankly at her, as if something was off.
It seems that seeing Lin wasn't a very happy thing for him.
How could this happen?
Something's not right!
Obito subconsciously frowned, trying to think carefully about the problem.
But as his thoughts focused, Lin suddenly vanished in a puff of smoke, and the romantic and relaxed surroundings collapsed, leaving only darkness.
Before he could even be surprised or alarmed, a familiar voice rang in his ears.
"Obito, you big idiot, you're sleeping in again! Get up now!"
With a throbbing pain in his head, he rubbed his head and got up, looking around blankly. He saw that he was hiding in the bushes of a small grove outside the village, seemingly sleeping.
Across from him, a cute little girl was angrily scolding him.
"Hey, the task was supposed to be completed in threes, how could you be sleeping in here!"
"I didn't—." Obito retorted instinctively, but then he was taken aback, and his mind started to become a little confused again.
"Alright, Rin, stop blaming Obito. I've already completed the mission."
Another familiar voice came from behind him. Obito turned around abruptly and saw a white-haired man with a mask on, waving at him with a smile in his eyes.
"Kakashi!"
Obito couldn't help but cry out, stepping forward to hug him, a surge of joy welling up inside him.
"Kakashi, I'm so glad you're still alive!"
"Wait?" Upon hearing this, Obito was stunned for a moment. Was Kakashi dead?
But before he could think it through, Lin punched him hard on the head.
"You bastard, Obito, how can you curse people like that!"
"Kakashi is so strong, how could he possibly die?"
"Even if you die, Kakashi won't die!"
"Hehe—." Obito rubbed his head habitually and chuckled a few times, but at this moment his heart was filled with the joy of seeing Kakashi again, and he couldn't care less about anything else.
But the next moment, Rin suddenly threw herself into Kakashi's arms and called out very affectionately:
"Kakashi, from now on, let's do missions together, and we won't have to drag Obito, the loser, along."
"Ah, this isn't really appropriate, after all, Obito is a teammate too—." Kakashi rubbed his head awkwardly, which made Obito furious.
Rin was still not satisfied and continued to hold onto Kakashi's arm, shaking it vigorously.
"Kakashi, I want to do a mission with you alone, okay?"
Kakashi seemed unable to resist Rin's persistent pleading, so he could only sigh and nod in agreement.
"Fine, fine, I just can't do anything with you."
"From now on, it'll just be the two of us, and we'll forget about Obito."
Hearing Kakashi speak like that, Obito, who had been standing there dumbfounded, suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. His body suddenly rushed forward uncontrollably, and he roared.
"Let go of Kakashi! Kakashi is mine!"
Then, with a swift movement, he stabbed Lin through the heart.
"puff!"
Blood spurted into the air, spraying all over Kakashi and Obito's faces.
"Obito, how could you kill Rin?" Kakashi roared angrily, grabbing Obito by the collar.
"I," Obito stared blankly at the blood on his hands, his mind a complete void.
"Obito, kill me!" Rin, her face covered in blood, collapsed into Obito's arms, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness, a sight that broke Obito's heart.
"Obito, save me, Obito—" Rin pleaded in a trembling voice, "Obito, please, don't kill me—"
"No." Obito woke up from his dream with a start, panting heavily.
After a while, looking around the room, he realized he was having another nightmare.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his mind still a mess.
"Why would I have such a dream?"
"How could there be such an absurd dream!"
"How could I possibly kill Lin?"
"And it's all for Kakashi?"
"Even if I were to die, I would never harm Lin Gen's fingers!"
Obito thought about it again and again, and felt more and more that there was something wrong with this dream!
He originally thought that Danzo had used a secret technique to harm him, but after the Battle of Konoha, Danzo was already dead, but the nightmare still hadn't gone away!
If it wasn't Danzo, then who could it be?
After careful consideration, Obito once again cast a suspicious glance at Uchiha An.
Although rationally he felt it shouldn't be An, An was definitely the most suspicious person because he had a grudge against him and the ability to harm him!
"No, regardless of whether it's him or not, we have to find a chance to kill this brat!"
"It's a pity that Nagato has been protecting this kid. If we want to kill Uchiha An, we have to deal with Nagato's problem first."
After thinking it over carefully for a long time, Obito got up and went out to find Zetsu.
The two had been secretly colluding, and their intimacy and trust far surpassed that of Nagato. Now, they easily reunited and began plotting.
"Zetsu, the Rinnegan is already well-nurtured; there's no need to leave it with Nagato any longer."
"Why not just gouge out his Rinnegan and give it to me? That way, I can still revive the Ten-Tails!"
Obito, with a gloomy face, directly stated his demands.
After hearing this, Ke Jue didn't hesitate for a moment and decisively shook her head in refusal:
"The movements of the four countries are still unclear, and conflicts with them are inevitable in the future."
"With multiple strong ninjas, the success rate will naturally be more guaranteed!"
"There is absolutely no need for us to diminish our own strength at this time."
"Hmph!" Obito snorted coldly and retorted sarcastically, "We can't just consider the present situation; we also need to consider long-term plans."
"You only considered the enemies of the five nations, but completely ignored the changes on Nagato's side!"
"If it were the old man, now half-crippled, we could easily kill him and steal his eyes."
"But now that Nagato has been healed by Uchiha An and has no physical defects, and Uchiha An has also leaked our information, are you still confident that you can control him?"
"If he revives the Ten-Tails and wants to become its jinchūriki himself, what makes you think you can take back the Rinnegan?"
"Nagato is currently severely injured and is at his weakest."
"If we don't act now, it will be difficult for us to make a move again once he's healed by Uchiha An!"
After listening, Jue fell silent, clearly realizing the problem.
After a long pause, Jue finally spoke:
"This matter is too important. Let me consider it carefully and then I will get back to you."
Obito didn't urge him, letting him leave on his own, but he was full of confidence, knowing that Zetsu would never allow a healthy, strong, and even invincible Nagato to exist.
