Chapter 588: Kakashi and Obito
Obito had been starving in the Kamui dimension for three days.
The Kamui dimension was not a normal material space. Not only was it small, but it also produced nothing.
This was a negative space parallel to the real world, created by the Mangekyo Sharingan. It was completely opposite to reality and was in a hollow state, a very illusory space.
If Obito's visual power could reach Kaguya's level and he could cultivate it with Amenominaka, then perhaps he could create a new, super-large space no less than the core dimension. Unfortunately, his visual power was limited. The Kamui dimension was the same now as it was when it was first opened, simple to the extreme.
Originally, Obito had used this place as a personal storage space. The Sharingan collected during the night of the massacre, his weapons, some clothes, and food were all kept in the dimension. Otherwise, as a grand, world-destroying boss, it would be too ugly to carry a backpack when he went out to commit crimes, right?
But after Kakashi also awakened Kamui, he didn't dare, or rather, didn't want to do so anymore. The Kamui dimension was swept clean, not even a blade of grass was left. He didn't want Kakashi to discover the truth.
As a ninja, going hungry was not a big deal. He could endure a few more days of hunger. But without water to drink, it was a bit life-threatening.
For the first two days, he was still trying to save himself, constantly practicing the Rinnegan's repulsive force, trying to gain the ability to float briefly in the acid dimension. If nothing else, at least he had to scout the acid dimension. What if there was an exit?
He thought it was a good idea, but by the third day, he felt he shouldn't think about it anymore!
Tired and hungry, his condition was getting worse day by day. Practice repulsive force? Practice my ass! I can't learn it. I'll just wait to die!
There wasn't even a ghost around. He had long since taken off his mask and shirt. Like a vagrant, he relaxed his body and waited for the final moment.
Kakashi, with a distortion of space-time, appeared silently in the Kamui dimension.
Although they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, he could still recognize his friend's face. The way he lay there, waiting to die, still had some traces of the past.
He said in a deep voice, "Obito, long time no see."
"Kakashi?! How did you...?" Obito hadn't expected a "stranger" to enter his space. He was first greatly shocked and subconsciously reached for his mask. But then he felt it was unnecessary. He squeezed out the last bit of his strength, pushed off the ground with his feet, and shot out like an arrow. He extended his right index and middle fingers and went to gouge out Kakashi's left eye.
Kakashi made no move to counter. He just stared at Obito. Obito's fingers stopped two inches from his left eye.
The two of them stared at each other. The reunion of best friends after fifteen years. Unfortunately, the scene was not heartwarming at all.
Obito sneered. "Heh, you're definitely not that reckless. Let me guess, you've hidden a backup plan in your Sharingan?"
Kakashi's tone was calm. "That's right. It's the Transcription Seal. I've sealed a Dust Release from the Third Tsuchikage in my Sharingan. Once the eye is lost, this Dust Release will be activated immediately. You know, I fought the Hidden Stone on the western front for over a year. With the Third Tsuchikage's temper, it wasn't difficult for me to find an opportunity to seal a Dust Release."
Obito stared at him, trying to judge the truth of his words.
A sealed ninjutsu like this had no hand seal time, no pre-skill animation. If a Dust Release was really sealed in his Sharingan, as long as he gouged out Kakashi's eye, the Transcription Seal would take effect, and the two of them would be immediately disintegrated into atoms by the Dust Release. He wouldn't even have time to use his phasing.
Kakashi looked around. "So this is the space behind the Mangekyo Sharingan? I have to say, it's a pretty good prison for you."
Obito's voice was cold. "Did the Fourth send you to mock me?"
Kakashi shook his head. "No, Teacher didn't tell me about this. He probably wanted to keep it from me and get rid of you secretly, so I wouldn't be distracted. It was a kind intention, but it had its flaws. I could have handled Hiruko by myself. There was no need to send Miss Yamanaka to help. A little analysis, and it's clear they wanted to get rid of you secretly. And the truth is, they did a pretty good job."
Kakashi sat cross-legged on the ground and opened a sealing scroll. Inside were some food and beer.
Obito also sat down. Without a word, he picked up a bottle of beer and chugged it down.
He was dying of thirst! There wasn't even a bottle in the Kamui dimension. He couldn't even drink his own urine.
After finishing a bottle of beer, he looked at Kakashi. "So, you're here to kill me?"
Before Kakashi could answer, he stood up, kicked the food and water away, and pointed at him, cursing, "Don't try to use that 'reforming the enemy' trick on me. Let me tell you, ever since you killed Rin, I've lost all hope. This world has no meaning to exist. I will destroy it! Unless I'm dead, no one can stop me, no one!"
At the mention of Rin's name, a shadow also fell over Kakashi's face. He supported himself on his knees, stood up, and didn't explain much.
He said, "I'll come and see you again."
Obito called out to him, "How about a deal? Let me out, and I'll use the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive Kushina. How about it?"
Kakashi acted as if he hadn't heard. After retreating to a sufficient distance, he said softly, "I'll come and see you again."
His figure disappeared with the space-time distortion of his Mangekyo Sharingan. Obito really wanted to go out with him, but Kakashi was watching him closely, and he had no chance at all.
Kakashi's right eye Kamui was for medium and long-range teleportation, while his left eye Kamui was for close-range teleportation. In other words, it was a close-range attack. At a slightly longer distance, it couldn't be used.
A quarter of an hour later, he looked at the food and water he had kicked away.
I'd rather starve to death, die of thirst, than eat the things that Kakashi gave me with that pitying look!
Another quarter of an hour passed... This roast chicken is so fragrant!
Even though the chakra used for Kamui was Naruto's, the eye was on his own body. Kakashi still had to bear the backlash of the Mangekyo Sharingan himself. The day after he left the Kamui dimension, he was hospitalized.
Ino only learned that Kakashi had been hospitalized again when Sakura went to the Yamanaka Flower Shop to buy flowers.
What's going on? He was fine at the barbecue. How did he end up in the hospital in the blink of an eye? How much do you like hospital beds?
After a medical-nin's examination, it was determined that it was caused by excessive chakra consumption.
This was an old problem of Kakashi's, nothing new. He would just have to stay in the hospital.
Some whispers about Kakashi gradually appeared in the village. Can a ninja who has to lie in the hospital for half a month after every battle be the Hokage?
