Chapter 194 Runtu Breaks Down Defenses While Watching Movies
The atmosphere in the audience was completely different from the dreamlike scenes on the screen.
The atmosphere in the dark theater was tense.
The reason is that, besides Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto, there was an uninvited guest in the audience today.
Mysterious masked man.
Naruto and Sasuke stood on either side of the front row, protecting Sakura behind them, the three of them warily watching the masked man not far away.
Naruto gritted his teeth, his blue eyes burning with fury, wishing he could rush up and tear the other person to pieces on the spot.
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
But from the very beginning, the other party always wore a mask to conceal his identity, and Naruto had no idea who this enemy was.
On the other hand, the masked man seemed to completely disregard the hostility of the three men.
He was sitting casually in the back row of chairs, his arms draped over the back of the chair, looking relaxed and carefree.
He even crossed his legs and swung his toes leisurely, showing no sign of tension.
This attitude further enraged Naruto.
"You bastard, you've shown up again!"
Naruto roared furiously at the masked man, his knuckles turning white from clenching his fists.
The masked man scoffed, "Why are you so nervous?"
He spread his hands, casually mocking, "You all know the rules of this godforsaken place. What can I do? Wouldn't it be better if we all just sat down and watched Kakashi's dream?"
Hearing the other person's nonchalant tone, Sakura's unease intensified.
Sasuke stared intently at the strange mask.
"Who wants to watch it with you?"
"that is!"
Sakura immediately chimed in.
Obito glanced at the two of them and chuckled, "Uchiha brats, show some respect."
He leaned forward slightly, and although his expression behind the mask could not be seen, the suppressed lowness of his voice revealed a hint of danger.
"No matter what, I am still a senior member of the Uchiha clan. Besides, I cured your brother's incurable disease; you should thank me."
Upon hearing this, Sasuke's pupils constricted sharply, and his face immediately darkened: "What did you say?"
He stared at the masked man in disbelief, his mind reeling.
What nonsense is this guy spouting?!
In an instant, Sasuke came to his senses, and his anger surged to the top of his head.
"Hmph! You think I don't know? That fake in Akatsuki—"
"Who do you think you are, Uchiha?! That Sharingan of yours was probably stolen from another Uchiha, you beast!"
"Fake... counterfeit goods??"
Obito involuntarily sat up a little straighter.
"Uchiha Itachi is a fake?!"
He knew perfectly well whether Itachi was real or fake.
But why would Sasuke say that?
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
Sasuke saw the masked man's unusually stunned expression and felt a surge of vengeful pleasure.
He gave a cold snort, a disdainful smile playing on his lips: "Didn't expect that, did you? I saw through your schemes long ago! I, Uchiha Sasuke, will never fall for your tricks again!"
After saying that, Sasuke grabbed Naruto and Sakura, who were still stunned beside him. The three of them cautiously bypassed Obito and quickly walked to the other side of the audience, keeping a safe distance from the masked man's seating area.
Obito frowned as he looked at the three brats who treated him like a monster.
He was completely baffled.
What do you mean by fake Itachi and real Itachi?
Sasuke's words left him with many questions, but he couldn't figure them out for the time being.
Obito scoffed, thinking to himself that they were just a few immature brats, not worth wasting his breath on, and didn't bother to investigate further.
He leaned back in his chair, adopting an indifferent expression, and turned his attention back to the giant screen.
On the screen.
"Starting today, your Class 7 can finally officially begin your mission."
A gentle and clear voice rang out.
Minato Namikaze stood before his three disciples, smiling as he assigned them tasks, his gentle demeanor tinged with anticipation.
Kakashi, Obito, and Rin stood side by side opposite Minato-sensei, listening quietly.
At this moment, they were all just inexperienced genin, green and inexperienced.
Minato held up a mission assignment sheet and announced loudly, "However, the missions you're receiving right now are all from the village. For example..."
Helping villagers find their pets, recover lost items, and so on.
Hearing this, Obito couldn't help but purse his lips and mutter a complaint, "Isn't this just doing menial tasks?"
Minato chuckled upon hearing this, and shook his head gently, saying, "Even doing odd jobs is a very important task."
"Every commission we receive represents the trust placed in us by the villagers, and we must take it seriously, no matter how simple the task is."
Obito still had a pout on his lips, looking rather uninterested.
However, Minato didn't blame you, but just sighed helplessly: "Only after you successfully complete these basic tasks will you have the opportunity to accept more important and difficult assignments. After all, the three of you haven't officially carried out any missions yet, so these are the best time to familiarize yourselves with the procedures. So, don't complain, just complete them seriously, understand?"
"Yes, Mr. Minato!" Rin answered crisply.
Her eyes were clear and earnest, without a trace of dissatisfaction.
Kakashi nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
Kakashi listened to his teacher's words, lost in thought for a moment.
Did the "self" in the dream never actually carry out any mission?
He pondered silently, then suddenly realized that it made sense. Since he hadn't graduated from the Ninja Academy early in this dream, this was indeed his first mission according to the normal schedule.
Minato-sensei is right.
Having figured this out, Kakashi smiled slightly and nodded to himself.
Just as Kakashi was deep in thought, Obito's energetic voice suddenly rang out beside him: "Alright! In that case—Kakashi,"
Let's settle this once and for all!
"Huh?" Kakashi snapped out of his reverie at the sound and turned to look.
Obito clenched his fists with high spirits, his dark eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit, and he seemed so excited that even the goggles on his head seemed to be shining.
He strutted confidently at Kakashi, raising his chin: "Let's see who completes more missions later!"
Upon hearing this spirited declaration of challenge, Kakashi confirmed it.
Looking at Obito's eager expression, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
How could he have almost forgotten this scene!
In reality, Obito also made the same challenge.
He agreed without hesitation, but ended up losing badly when he and Linman searched the village for a whole day but found nothing.
Obito single-handedly completed all the team's tasks.
Because Obito was always willing to help others and often assisted elderly women, he was very popular among the elderly women of Konoha.
Therefore, Obito could easily handle tasks like finding things.
Thinking of this, Kakashi's eyes flashed slightly, and he chuckled to himself: Since he already knew that this was a match he was bound to lose, how could he possibly accept it?
"Hmph, I'm not going to do something so boring."
Kaka, dressed in a suit, put on a disdainful look, turned his face away, and waved his hand. It sounded indifferent, but it was actually a little deliberate.
His refusal startled Obito, and the smile on Obito's face froze.
"Huh?"
Obito clearly hadn't expected Kakashi to refuse so readily.
After a brief moment of relief, Obito quickly came to his senses.
He narrowed his eyes, revealing a mischievous grin: "Hey, Kakashi, you wouldn't happen to be...Ichi-chan, would you?"
"Scared now?"
Kakashi stiffened upon hearing this, instinctively straightening his back. He coughed twice, "Cough, cough! How could I possibly be afraid of you!"
"Then compete against me!"
Obito immediately perked up, clearly not intending to back down.
"A competition?" Kakashi's eyes darted around. He looked up at their teacher, who was watching them intently, and said seriously, "Didn't Minato-sensei just say that even menial tasks are important? How can we use them as a competition? What if we ruin the mission because of our competitive spirit?"
Upon hearing this, Minato nodded slightly, then revealed a relieved smile.
"Yes, Kakashi is right." He nodded in satisfaction and praised, "You can't act impulsively on any mission! Even small missions are related to the client's expectations, so you must take them seriously."
"Yes, teacher!" Kakashi replied respectfully.
Rin, standing to the side, beamed with admiration as she looked at Kakashi, exclaiming, "Kakashi, what you said was so wonderful!"
In her eyes, Kakashi, though young, was always so steady and reliable, which made Rin secretly admire him.
Obito's fighting spirit was extinguished at a visible speed under the combined "offensive" of the two.
He stared dumbfounded at the teacher, then at Lin, who was giving him a look of complete agreement. Finally, he could only hang his head in dejection, scratching his disheveled hair in frustration: "Okay, okay—"
in the audience.
Obito was so angry that he trembled all over.
He slammed his fist on the armrest of his chair with a dull thud, and growled through gritted teeth, "Damn Kakashi! He's clearly scared! How dare he say something like that—how despicable!"
Obito's chest heaved violently, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
A disdainful snort came from the side: "Hey, don't you even know what you're doing?"
Naruto crossed his arms and retorted loudly, "Kakashi-sensei is a renowned elite Jonin of Konoha! He thinks he'd be afraid of that brat on the screen wearing a protective mirror? Don't be ridiculous!"
Sakura nodded emphatically, her face full of agreement: "Exactly! How could a mere little brat possibly scare Kakashi-sensei?"
"Kakashi-sensei is always serious and meticulous about missions; he wouldn't joke around with missions like some people do!"
Sakura and Naruto both have a great deal of trust in Kakashi's character.
After all, in their minds, Kakashi-sensei was a mature, steady, and experienced reliable Jonin who was always meticulous when carrying out missions with them.
How could such an excellent teacher be afraid of the provocation of a mere child of the same age?
In their view, Kakashi's actions on the screen were entirely due to his serious attitude towards the mission, rather than the "fear" that Obito claimed.
It can only be said that Sakura, Naruto, and the others haven't spent enough time with Kakashi. "Hmph!" Obito snorted coldly, his face full of disdain. "You're the ones who don't understand! Open your eyes and see clearly—Kakashi is destined to lose!"
"What did you say?" Naruto was taken aback, then frowned and glared at Obito, his face full of displeasure.
Sakura's brows furrowed; she simply didn't believe the masked man who had appeared out of nowhere.
"How could Kakashi-sensei possibly lose?" Naruto said with absolute certainty.
"That's right, that's right!" Sakura chimed in.
"So what do you, masked man, know? Stop spouting nonsense!"
Obito found the two brats stubborn and unrepentant, and felt both annoyed and amused.
He was too lazy to argue with these two brats anymore, so he just crossed his arms and muttered, "Hmph, just you wait and see."
Compared to Naruto and Sakura's excitement, Sasuke remained silent.
He merely squinted slightly, thoughtfully observing the masked man not far away.
The masked man not only claims to be a senior member of the Uchiha clan, but also seems to have some kind of entanglement with his brother.
What's even stranger is that he seems quite familiar with Kakashi-sensei's temperament and personality—
Who exactly is this guy?
Sasuke clenched his fists tightly, his brows furrowed.
On the screen.
Minato Namikaze had already handed over the scrolls detailing the three missions to Kakashi, and instructed them to return here to gather by evening.
Report on the completion status of the task.
After giving his instructions, Minato gave his three disciples a meaningful smile, and then vanished from the spot in a flash.
I suppose he's busy with other important matters.
Watching his teacher leave, Kakashi looked down at the mission scroll in his hand. According to the description, they needed to complete three tasks today: First, to help Granny Akimichi in the village find her lost kitten "Pudding"; second, to help the owner of the fish shop in the mountains find the keychain that was lost at the market; and third, to help a child from the Nara clan find his lost kunai.
"Hmph, these tasks are a piece of cake for me!"
Before Kakashi could finish reading the mission, Obito, full of fighting spirit, snatched the scroll and patted his chest, loudly promising, "Finding a cat and something is nothing! I, Uchiha Obito, can easily handle it all by myself!"
After saying that, he eagerly tucked the scroll away, gave Kakashi and Rin a thumbs-up, and confidently turned and ran off: "Just you wait and see how amazing I am, haha!"
Watching Obito's hurried figure rushing into the depths of the village, Rin couldn't help but whisper with worry, "Is Obito really okay?"
In her memory, Obito was usually full of energy, but he was always impulsive and unreliable.
This is the first time the three of them have officially carried out a ninja mission. Can he really handle it all by himself?
Lin's delicate brows were furrowed with worry as she turned to Kakashi beside her: "Let's go help Obito!"
Unexpectedly, Kakashi had already started walking and walked to a large, leafy tree.
He put one hand in his pocket, lazily sat down in the shade of the tree, and then naturally lay back down.
"Kakashi?!" Rin's eyes widened. She ran a few steps to the shade of a tree, looking incredulously at her companion who looked like she was about to take a nap. "What are you doing? Aren't you going to do a mission?"
Kakashi rested his hands behind his head, closed his one eye with a relaxed expression, and even swung one leg, looking quite content.
"Don't worry, Rin," he said casually, "Obito will be fine on his own."
"But...but—" Rin was bewildered by his nonchalant attitude and was momentarily speechless. In fact, Kakashi was very confident in his judgment—
Given Obito's consistent helpfulness in the village and his popularity among the elderly, these search tasks were not difficult for him at all.
Kakashi could even foresee that it wouldn't be long before Obito was able to successfully complete all his requests.
Thinking of this, he tilted his head slightly, raised his hand and patted the ground beside him, gesturing for Rin to sit down as well: "Don't be in a daze. Let's rest for a while - we don't need to wait until night, Obito can finish all those missions in a morning at most."
Rin hesitated, glancing at Kakashi, then looked worriedly in the direction where Obito had disappeared.
She bit her lower lip, but eventually knelt down and sat down next to Kakashi.
The girl's soft, chestnut-brown short hair fell to the side of her face, and a faint blush could be seen on her cheeks.
"Is this really okay?"
Lin lowered her head and asked softly.
Although Kakashi spoke with certainty, she couldn't help but worry.
"Of course," Kakashi replied decisively, "I believe in Obito's abilities."
As he spoke, Rin gave him a confident and resolute smile, calm and composed as if she were certain that Obito would not disappoint.
Infected by his confident demeanor, Lin's previously anxious heart calmed down a little.
She gave a soft "hmm," and the tension on her face eased considerably.
in the audience.
Obito was so angry that he jumped up!
"Ah!! Kakashi Ichi!"
He slammed his fist on the armrest of his chair in a fit of rage, the loud crash echoing through the empty theater. "You damned bastard! I'll kill you!!"
