Chapter 116 If you can only save one of Rin and Kakashi...
A row of black lines appeared on Tobirama Senju's forehead.
He covered his mouth and leaned closer to Hashirama, reminding him, "Brother! Nobody asked you about that!!"
Nobody knew before.
Now everyone knows that Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju both fell into the river where Madara Uchiha urinated.
Kannabihashi Timeline —
Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya have been in a battle-ready stance, or rather, in a stance of fleeing with Obito and the others, for quite some time now.
There are now not only three Uchiha Madaras, but also one Uchiha Izuna. Even he and Jiraiya can only plan to escape, but this is not a good time to escape.
At this point, the more you try to escape, the more alert you'll become. You must quickly come up with a strategy to divert everyone's attention to something else.
Minato is deep in thought.
Young Madara Uchiha poked his head out and looked at Kakashi, Obito, and Rin from Minato's team with a strange expression.
"Are you three really from the Uchiha clan?" Before Minato's team could react, young Madara Uchiha pointed at Kakashi Hatake and said, "Apart from him and that little girl, the rest of you don't seem to be from the Uchiha clan at all."
Madara thought Rin resembled the Uchiha clan because he had little contact with the girls in his clan. Unless she clearly possessed the characteristics of the Akimichi clan, he wouldn't have any doubts.
The main reason why Minato Namikaze doesn't seem like an Uchiha is his blond hair and exotic blue eyes. Before awakening their Sharingan, the Uchiha's pupils were all black.
Jiraiya's physique was so large that he almost looked like one of the Senju clan's sage-like figures.
Kakashi's hair color was unusual, but it wasn't entirely uncommon in his clan, and his eyes were also black. Meanwhile, Obito, the only true Uchiha, was furious, shouting, "What about me doesn't look like an Uchiha?!"
Madara Uchiha bluntly stated, "Too stupid."
Obito was so angry that he spat out a Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique at him!
Uchiha jumped back, his clothes drying slightly in the process, before admitting, "The Uchiha clan's specialty, ninjutsu? So you really are an Uchiha. But why didn't I see you in the clan before?"
Minato was trying to figure out how to explain, especially since Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Madara, who was even stronger than him in his youth, were also looking over.
Coincidentally, the bullet screen also indicated that it was time for the next world for Uchiha Obito to enjoy the game.
[“Obito Uchiha is in hell.” Your answer doesn’t match the question’s outcome. Please choose Truth or Dare?]
Minato Namikaze immediately understood the rules of the game: "If your chosen answer matches the outcome, then Obito has the right to choose someone to participate in Truth or Dare. Conversely, if your answer does not match the outcome, then that person will have to bear the consequences of the game!"
As they were talking, the mirror that had previously been used for video communication with the Fourth Shinobi World War at the Second Hokage's request transformed into a scene from the timeline of Obito Uchiha's dark and berserk state!
In the timeline of Obito's dark turn and rampage, because of Rin's death, the three members of Minato's team could hardly have a high level of reaction no matter what happened.
Although the heavy rain had stopped, their hearts were still filled with a desolate sorrow, as if the storm had been washing over them.
"Obito Uchiha, will you choose truth or dare?"
Obito Uchiha's voice was low, yet almost inaudible, "It doesn't matter."
"Random mode activated."
Beneath the little divine tree in the mirror, the options of Truth or Dare keep switching.
After three or four seconds, it finally stopped at the truth or dare question.
【"Please ask Obito Uchiha"】
["If Rin Nohara and Kakashi Hatake were facing death, and you could only save one of them, who would you choose to save?"]
Kakashi, standing next to Obito: "!!!"
He looked at Obito in surprise, never expecting that the so-called Truth or Dare game would involve Obito answering such questions!
Minato, standing to the side, looked displeased. Making Obito answer such a question was not a pleasant thing for either Obito, Rin, or Kakashi.
Obito Uchiha remained silent: ".-
On the Divine Tree bullet screen, the small Divine Tree swayed its branches, its round red Rinnegan revealing a naive evil.
【"Notice!"】
"The absolute rule of Truth or Dare is that you can't lie. If you lie, you'll immediately be punished!"
They've activated the punishment mode, but they don't know what the punishment is. None of them can afford to be careless about this game from gods of a higher dimension.
Upon hearing this question, Obito Uchiha from almost every timeline began to ponder it.
If only one person can be saved—
So, will he choose to save Rin or Kakashi?
No one could answer this question, not even the most skilled Obito Uchiha.
If it's Infinite Tsukuyomi—
Having been immersed in this project for over a decade, they've developed a habitual way of thinking that they want to find a way to have the best of both worlds using Infinite Tsukuyomi.
But then he suddenly learned that Madara Uchiha had also been deceived.
Obito Uchiha from several parallel worlds suddenly lost his way.
Rin—or Kakashi—
In the Samurai Bridge timeline, Kakashi is like a scarecrow; these kinds of questions are like torture for him.
He believed that Obito must have regretted saving him back then. If it weren't for saving him, Obito would never have been used by Madara Uchiha.
If Obito hadn't been manipulated by Madara Uchiha, Rin wouldn't have died. But Kakashi couldn't bring himself to ask that question, and could only silently blame himself.
Rin Nohara, who had just been resurrected, stood beside him and sighed softly. She also blamed herself for her choice back then, which had had such a great impact on Kakashi.
She wanted to apologize to Kakashi and tell him that something that could destroy Konoha had been implanted inside her.
But by then she was already unable to speak, and the only thing she could say was: "Kakashi—" just that one name.
Rin looked at Obito. If Obito were still the same Obito, he would probably feel the same guilt as she and Kakashi.
Obito's Darkening and Berserk Timeline - Kakashi: "Obito—"
Minato placed his hand on Kakashi's shoulder. Kakashi saw Minato shake his head silently and swallowed the rest of his thoughts.
If possible, I hope you will choose to save Lin.
Several minutes passed, and Obito Uchiha remained silent.
The Divine Tree bullet screen repeated the question once again:
【"Please ask Obito Uchiha"】
["If Rin Nohara and Kakashi Hatake were facing death, and you could only save one of them, who would you choose to save?"]
Obito, like a ghost in the human world, raised his lips, but failed to utter a word several times.
It wasn't until the barrage of comments repeated the question for the third time that Obito Uchiha finally spoke:
"Save Lin."
An answer that was almost exactly what everyone had predicted.
Aside from Naruto, Sakura, Might Guy, and others who could see all of this from other timelines and were worried about Kakashi, everyone else reacted with "that was an inevitable outcome."
But Obito Uchiha had a second half to say.
"Then I'll trade my life for Kakashi's."
This answer made Kakashi stare in astonishment at Obito Uchiha in the timeline of Obito's dark turn and rampage!
"Checking if this is a truthful answer, please wait."
"Obito, it's me."
Kakashi was also stubborn in this regard. He didn't want to bear the pain of being left alone anymore, and he hoped that Obito and Rin could be together.
Obito lowered his head and said, "Shut up, or I'll beat you up."
If it were Kakashi before the Kannabi Bridge mission, he would definitely argue with Obito, complaining that Obito was a loser and that he wanted to beat up Kakashi, the top student.
But the current Kakashi wouldn't do that; when Obito told him to shut up, he actually did.
"Test complete, this is the truth."
"Then, may I ask Obito Uchiha—"
Before Minato's eyes appeared a situation identical to the one in the Kannabi Bridge timeline from before!
In front of the full-length mirror, 6-year-old Rin Onohara from the ninja academy is curled up in a small ball, hugging her knees, seemingly asleep.
Obito still remembers the smile on her face when she handed him the ninja academy admission materials.
"Is the Nohara Rin you want a childhood friend as gentle as an angel?"
Then, next to her, a teenage version of Rin Nohara appeared, curled up asleep with her knees drawn up to her chest.
She was the girl who blushed as she held a celebratory ceremony for Kakashi to become a Jonin and carefully prepared a gift for him.
"Is it still Nohara Rin, the medical ninja who has saved you time and time again?"
"Or perhaps what you want is—"
She looks to be at least eighteen or nineteen years old. You can still tell from her face and hairstyle that she is Nohara Rin. The beautiful woman, dressed in a white wedding dress, is sleeping soundly with her knees drawn up to her chest.
"Is this the beautiful bride, Nohara Rin, that you want?"
With only one eye remaining, Obito Uchiha stared blankly at the three phantoms of Rin in front of the mirror.
Kakashi and Minato Namikaze were also caught off guard by this situation.
The compulsory education at the ninja academy didn't teach them how to do this problem!
Kannabihashi Timeline —
Obito was almost driven mad by Nohara Rinmi in her wedding dress, "She looks like a sleeping princess—" he couldn't help but say.
Kakashi reminded him, "You made a sound, you idiot!"
"Misunderstanding?!" Realizing he'd blurted out his thoughts, Obito blushed crimson. "No, no, no, it wasn't Rin! I didn't mean anything by it!!"
Even in its unopened state, it almost presented a visual effect similar to the Rinnegan—a mosquito coil eye.
Lin smiled slightly, looking forward to the day when she would be able to wear such a beautiful wedding dress.
Uchiha Izuna and the three Uchiha Madara looked at the bizarre scene in the mirror. After their questioning, they already knew what had happened in several different timelines.
I never imagined that the ninja world was actually a story world seen through the eyes of gods from another dimension.
So whether they traveled from the past to the future, or were simply replicated by God, no one can say for sure.
