Chapter 196 Unless You Are the God of Ninja

Konoha Memorial Monument.

Minato, Kakashi and Rin were mourning Obito.

At this time, Kakashi had already lowered his forehead protector to cover his Sharingan.

As a ninja who is not from the Uchiha clan, Kakashi's Sharingan cannot be closed.

Using the Sharingan all the time puts too much of a strain on his body, so he can only cover it up. Although the Sharingan is still functioning, the consumption can be reduced a lot if it is not used.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Minato put one hand on Kakashi's shoulder and the other on Rin's shoulder.

His tone was no longer as sunny and gentle as usual, but seemed a little heavy.

"No, Minato-sensei, it's only my lack of strength that's to blame."

Kakashi whispered.

He thought that after being promoted to Jonin, he would be able to stand at the top of the ninja world, but reality gave him a hard elbow.

Without Obito's Sharingan, without Chidori's speed and strength, he wouldn't be able to defeat even a little-known Jonin, Kaguya, from the Iwagakure.

Even though he was only twelve, Kakashi wouldn't make such excuses.

Not strong enough, just not strong enough.

Lin Yan was sobbing beside her. The heavy atmosphere of the memorial made it difficult for her to suppress her sadness.

Minato pursed his lips and silently left the memorial.

The team's mission has been completed, the Kannabi Bridge was blown up, and the Iwagakure's supply line suffered a serious blow. There is no other possibility except withdrawal, but Minato's mission is not over yet.

The situation on the battlefield in the Land of Grass is now very clear.

If the Rock Ninja retreats, the Cloud Ninja will become the only dominant force, and soon the Cloud Ninja will have to organize its forces and advance into the Land of Fire.

On the other hand, the Sand Ninja couldn't sit still either, as the war was still going on.

Shortly after Minato left, Rin could no longer hide her grief and left the memorial, leaving Kakashi alone standing in front of the monument in a daze.

Kakashi has always felt that a guy like Obito would never understand the Will of Fire, let alone become Hokage.

This kind of ninja cannot be called a ninja at all, or it can be said that he is just a pure loser.

But after Rin was captured, he could still vividly remember what Obito said to him.

He approved of Hatake Sakumo's behavior. He felt that ninjas like Hatake Sakumo, who cherished their companions, were the most admirable.

In the end, Obito gave his eye to Kakashi.

Kakashi stroked his forehead protector, and the slowly rotating Sharingan underneath carried Obito's will.

"I will protect Rin, Obito."

"Oh yo? Who are you going to protect?"

At this time, a strange cry sounded from the side. Kakashi knew it was Kawazo just by listening to the voice without looking back.

"Why are you here, Chuan Zang?"

"Hey~ I heard that Obito is dead. My good brother is so loyal and righteous, how can I not feel sad?"

Kawazo came over and put his arm around Kakashi's shoulders.

"I have to come and comfort you, so that you don't get so depressed that you go and fight the Iwagakure yourself."

The corners of Kakashi's mouth twitched.

He is not such an uncalm person at all. Not to mention that the Iwagakure ninja have retreated, even if the Iwagakure ninja are still fighting outside the Land of Grass, Kakashi will not rush over and fight with them.

However, Kakashi also understood that Kawanzo was comforting him. Kawanzo knew him best, just as he also understood Kawanzo.

"Chuanzang, is my strength not strong enough?"

Kakashi asked suddenly, leaving Kawazo stunned.

Not strong enough?

Although Kakashi hasn't reached his peak yet, ordinary jonin are no match for him. Especially after obtaining the Sharingan, Kakashi has become a true 50-50 match, and he can't lose to anyone. How can he be called weak!?

But as good brothers, we should still encourage each other when encouragement is due.

"Not only is he not strong enough, he's flat out weak, Kakashi!"

A big well-shaped mark suddenly appeared on Kakashi's forehead.

What kind of shitty review is this!

As expected, with Sichuan and Tibet’s personality, they don’t know how to comfort others. They are just here to make things worse!

However, after being interrupted by Kawazo, Kakashi's grief was alleviated a lot.

"I'm just kidding, Kakashi, but war involves many things that cannot be determined simply by strength.

Unlike a ninja fight, if we're just a little bit stronger, I'll have the advantage. In reality, individual strength will be completely overshadowed by a massive force."

Kawazo patted Kakashi's shoulder and looked at the top of the memorial tablet.

"Unless... you're the God of Ninja."

Kakashi followed Kawazo's gaze and looked at the memorial tablet, at the top of which was engraved the name of Hashirama Senju.

He slowly turned his head again and looked towards Sichuan and Tibet.

Kawazo also possesses Wood Release, a ninjutsu with an exaggerated range and effect... Will Kawazo become the next Ninja God?

If Kawazo could see through Kakashi's thoughts, he would stroke Kakashi's dog head.

Idiot, I already am.

But the God of Ninja is also dead.

......

Obito opened his eyes and saw darkness.

Oh, Obito forgot that he gave his eyes to Kakashi and he is now blind.

But why does the right eye still have vision?

Blurredly, Obito discovered that he could still see things with his right eye, but the environment he was in was too dark, which made him unable to see anything clearly.

Am I not blind and dead?

Obito was doubtful about the environment he was in.

If it were another ninja, he might close his eyes immediately, pretending that he had not woken up yet, and sense the situation around him before making any plans.

But he is Obito.

Obito jumped up on the spot and looked around curiously with his only remaining right eye, without any guard at all.

It was pitch black and dim, and the slightly damp air around him made him realize that he was probably in some kind of cave.

"Hey~ kid, you're awake~"

A slightly teasing voice appeared behind Obito.

Obito immediately turned around and saw a strange man walking towards him, wearing a white swirling mask.

There was only one hole on the mask, and in the pitch-black environment, nothing could be seen through the hole.

"Am I dead? Who are you? Where is this?"

Three question marks were raised, but the other party seemed quite patient.

"If you're dead, you won't have any consciousness. This is the adults' retreat. As for me, you can call me Ah Fei, or Jue."

"Absolute...?"

Obito muttered the name quietly, feeling very strange.

"Wasn't I crushed to death? Isn't this the Kannabi Bridge?"

Obito looked around. The place seemed very empty, and there was not even a response. It looked like a cave, but it seemed to be drafty on all sides.

"It's true that I almost died, but you are very lucky to be favored by the master. Why don't you come with me to meet the master?"

Obito was put on the shoulders by White Zetsu and half-pushed and half-pulled away.

"The adults really admire you. Maybe you will be my boss in the future~"
