Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master!

Chapter 396 Mysterious Masked Man, Mysterious Autistic Man

Water Country Hotel.

Uh!

Obito suddenly sat up in bed, the image of the dream ending still lingering in his mind's eye.

My heart was pounding, and an indescribable anxiety and frustration filled my mind.

"asshole!"

He suddenly slammed his fist into the wall beside him.

boom!

The wall trembled slightly, and fine dust fell from it.

Obito was breathing heavily, his heart filled with resentment and anger.

Why did I have to wake up at that crucial moment?!

He hadn't finished saying the most important thing in the dream!

Obito clenched his numb right fist, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

Did Minato Namikaze understand what he was trying to say at that moment?

Will that guy prioritize ensuring Lin's safety?

What is Kakashi's fate now?!

A series of questions and worries nearly drove him mad.

He was restless, wishing he could lie down again immediately and sink back into his dream to see what would happen next and to change something himself.

Obito scratched his hair in frustration, a few strands falling out, his face gloomy.

In reality, Minato Namikaze's incompetence caused him to lose the most important person in his life forever.

Even if Minato appeared slightly more reliable in the dream, he still didn't believe that the man could truly handle the current situation.

Don't be ridiculous, how could he possibly entrust Lin's safety to an unreliable, scoundrel of a teacher!

Just as Obito was feeling troubled, there was a rhythmic knocking at the door.

Tap, tap, tap!

Obito frowned, took a deep breath impatiently, and tried to restore his usual cold and dignified expression.

He straightened his slightly disheveled red-and-black robe, strode to the door, and opened it expressionlessly.

Two people were standing outside the door; they were the Akatsuki's health preservation team.

Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha.

Kisame's tall figure came into view. He was carrying a huge, bulging sack, and his shoulder muscles were bulging.

In contrast to him stood a little behind, Uchiha Itachi, his face calm as still water, his dark eyes fixed intently on Obito as he opened the door, his gaze deep and unwavering.

Obito's gaze swept over the two of them, then landed on the sack on Kisame's shoulder.

He impatiently demanded, "Didn't I tell you not to bother me these next couple of days?!"

His words conveyed a blunt and dismissive attitude, clearly indicating his extreme dissatisfaction with their presence.

His mind was now completely occupied with the things in his dream, and he had no interest in the tasks in reality.

Kisame was taken aback by Obito's rude attitude, but he quickly grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and let out a low laugh.

He casually tossed the huge bag off his shoulder, and with a muffled thud, the bag hit the floor.

"The task you assigned has been completed."

"It's done?" Obito was slightly taken aback when he heard this, before he came to his senses.

By the way, when Kisame and Itachi came to report on the Six-Tails Jinchuriki yesterday, I did casually tell them to take care of it...

Unexpectedly, the two moved so quickly.

Seeing that Obito remained silent, Kisame kicked the sack on the ground with his toe and chuckled, "The Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Utakata, is in here. Although he is a Jinchuriki, his strength is really average. I took care of him without even having to lift a finger. It didn't take much effort at all."

After he finished speaking, his face was full of a self-satisfied smile.

Obito nodded absentmindedly, his gaze not lingering on the sack for even a second longer.

It seems that what's inside isn't the extremely important Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts, but just a bag of insignificant trash.

"Okay, I understand." He said indifferently, waving his hand dismissively. "You can leave now. I don't want to be disturbed anymore."

Kisame's smile froze slightly.

He blinked his small eyes and touched his nose with a hint of boredom.

However, when he thought of the scenes he had witnessed in his dream last night, a cryptic smile crept onto the lips of this rogue ninja from Kirigakure.

He glanced sideways at Uchiha Itachi beside him, his eyes full of mockery and inquiry.

However, Itachi remained indifferent, not even lifting his eyelids, completely ignoring Kisame's gaze.

Obito was also lost in his own thoughts and completely unaware of Kisame's subtle actions.

Seeing that no one responded, Kisame had no choice but to awkwardly look away, suppressing his teasing thoughts for the time being.

He hesitated for a moment, then brazenly asked, "So... sir, what should we do next? Are there any new tasks?"

"No missions!" Obito's surging frustration finally reached its peak. "There are no missions for now! You all go and rest, and don't bother me anymore!"

After saying that, he didn't even glance at the two of them again, took a step back, and slammed the door shut with a bang, leaving Kisame and Itachi outside.

Outside the door, Kisame and Itachi looked at each other and exchanged a glance.

Kisame shrugged, looking helpless, but he didn't bother to investigate further.

He quickly smiled with relief and joked with Itachi, "Hey, Shichi-san, looks like your favorite leisurely vacation is coming up!"

Uchiha Itachi did not respond to these words.

He simply stood there quietly, staring coldly at the closed door, a dark glint flashing in the depths of his scarlet pupils.

A moment later, he said nothing, turned around and followed Kisame's departing footsteps.

After sending Kisame and Itachi away, Obito raised his hand and waved it, causing a distorted ripple to appear in the air around him.

The next second, a spatial vortex appeared out of thin air, instantly swallowing the heavy bag containing the Six-Tails Jinchuriki and throwing it into a corner of the Kamui dimension.

He couldn't even be bothered to glance at the Jinchūriki.

At this moment, he had no time to deal with trivial matters such as sealing the tailed beasts or advancing the Eye of the Moon project.

Compared to Lin's safety, it's all nothing!

Obito squeezed his eyes shut, took a few deep breaths, and forced himself to calm down.

He began to meticulously revisit every detail of the dream, trying to find clues to break the deadlock.

Suddenly, a previously overlooked key point appeared like a flash of lightning in the darkness.

Oh, right, Flying Thunder God Kunai!

Obito suddenly sat up straight on the edge of the bed, his eyes suddenly lighting up with excitement.

A picture flashed through my mind.

In the dream, Minato gave Kakashi, who had just been promoted to Jonin, a specially made kunai engraved with the Flying Thunder God Technique!

He remembered clearly that Kakashi had solemnly accepted it with both hands, saying that he would definitely use it well.

In reality, Minato did indeed give Kakashi a Flying Thunder God Kunai.

But in reality, it was Lin who was kidnapped back then.

However, the situation in the dream is completely different!

If Kakashi carries the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God Technique, then Minato can immediately sense it and activate the Flying Thunder God Technique, instantly teleporting to Kakashi's side.

With Minato's strength, dealing with that suddenly appearing Iwagakure Jonin and rescuing Kakashi would be a piece of cake!

Correct! That's right!

That must be it!

The more Obito thought about it, the more sense it made.

He even began to extrapolate the subsequent developments along this line of thought.

Their squad had actually completed most of their reconnaissance mission before the incident, and had also gathered enough intelligence on the deployment of new troops at the Iwagakure base.

With Kakashi's abduction now a major event, the mission naturally cannot continue.

After rescuing Kakashi, Minato will definitely lead them to safety as soon as possible.

In any case, their location was not too far from Konoha's Tenchi Bridge camp on the front line.

In this way...

Obito's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a little, and his tense nerves also eased slightly.

Although the horrifying scene he witnessed before the dream ended still haunted him, the discovery of the Flying Thunder God Kunai undoubtedly gave him a much-needed respite.

Perhaps things aren't as bad as I think?

Kakashi has probably been rescued, and Rin has safely returned to the camp...

This thought finally calmed Obito's extremely anxious mood considerably.

Although I still can't be completely at ease, at least I have a glimmer of hope.

The time that followed passed slowly and agonizingly as Obito waited anxiously.

He had no interest in dealing with anything else, and simply stayed alone in his room, sometimes pacing restlessly, sometimes forcing himself to sit quietly and rest.

But no matter how hard he tried, his thoughts remained fixated on the unfinished aftermath of the dream, refusing to leave.

Finally, as the clock hands slowly pointed to that familiar moment, Obito couldn't wait any longer and pounced onto the bed, quickly closing his eyes.

"Quick... let me go back! Let me see how they are!"

With this complex mix of unease and intense anticipation, Obito's consciousness once again sank into that bizarre and fantastical dream world.

In a daze, he felt as if he had fallen into the deep sea and then suddenly emerged from the water.

Obito suddenly opened his one eye and felt a wave of dizziness.

The weakness and powerlessness in his limbs made him pause slightly. He gritted his teeth to steady himself and prevent himself from falling.

After regaining his composure, Obito immediately scanned his surroundings warily.

The folding bed beneath me was narrow and hard, causing my back to ache; it all felt so familiar.

This is it! It really is this place!

Obito felt a surge of joy, his eyes gleaming with indescribable relief.

These are the medical tents at the Tenchi Bridge base on the Konoha front!

It seems his guess was correct.

As expected, Minato-sensei led them to safety from the dangerous battlefield in time!

Realizing he was in a safe camp, Obito finally felt a little relieved.

He forced himself to sit up from the folding bed and anxiously looked around the tent.

Soon, a familiar slender figure came into his view.

Lin was sitting on the edge of the bed not far away, carefully arranging a pile of medical supplies.

Under the light, her profile appeared gentle and serene.

Seemingly having heard Obito's commotion, Rin suddenly looked up at him.

When she confirmed that Obito had awakened, she was visibly stunned for a moment, and a complex look flashed in her eyes.

Rin pursed her lips, as if hesitating whether to speak, but finally put down the bandage in her hand, ran to Obito's bedside, and asked softly with concern, "Obito, how are you feeling? The medical team ninjas said that your chakra is severely depleted, and your mind seems to have suffered some shock. You need to rest for a while."

Obito was about to smile and say he was fine, but when he heard Rin's gentle yet slightly distant tone, his expression froze.

Lin's voice was still so soft and pleasant, but he keenly sensed the estrangement in it.

Obito's heart sank suddenly, as if he had been stabbed by a needle and felt a dull pain.

However, when he confirmed that Rin was standing unharmed in front of him, the huge weight that had been hanging over Obito's heart for so long finally lifted.

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Rin is safe in this Konoha-controlled camp for the time being.

However, this sense of relief lasted for less than two seconds.

Obito's gaze swept over Rin's shoulder, then across the entire tent again, before his brows furrowed tightly.

Where's Kakashi?!

Besides him, Lin, and two medical ninjas talking quietly in a corner in the distance, there was no one else in the tent—that familiar figure was nowhere to be seen.

not good!

A strong sense of foreboding instantly crept into his heart.

Obito suddenly looked up at Rin, his voice tense with anxiety: "Rin, where's Kakashi? How...how is he? Did they rescue him?!"

Upon hearing Obito's anxious question to Kakashi, the light in Rin's eyes quickly dimmed.

She shook her head and whispered, "I...I don't know."

"have no idea?!"

"How could I not know?!"

"Kakashi was carrying the Flying Thunder God kunai that Minato gave him!!" Obito's eyes widened. "I remember clearly, he accepted that kunai! Didn't Minato go to save him?! He could have easily used the kunai to teleport there!"

It's happening again!

Obito was furious; the last vestige of trust he had managed to rekindle vanished in an instant.

In reality, you can't save Rin. In this dream, can't you even save Kakashi, who has the Flying Thunder God Technique mark on his body?

What are you doing, Minato Namikaze? You unreliable, bastard teacher!

[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +500!]

Rin was taken aback by Obito's sudden question, but quickly came to her senses.

Obito, you've misunderstood!

Looking at his face, which was contorted with excitement and anxiety, Lin felt a surge of complex emotions that were hard to describe.

So Obito... was still worried about Kakashi.

"Obito, you've misunderstood!" Rin hurriedly explained without thinking, "Minato-sensei did go to rescue Kakashi! It's just that the situation didn't allow him to chase after him immediately! Have you forgotten? Yesterday we sent out a distress signal. The Iwagakure camp was nearby. Our signal flare not only attracted Minato-sensei but also revealed our location, quickly drawing in patrolling Iwagakure ninja. Although Minato-sensei arrived in time and repelled the first wave of enemies, who knows if more enemies were on their way?!"

As Lin spoke, a hint of lingering fear flashed in her eyes.

She continued, "Besides, although Kakashi was kidnapped, you also fainted from excessive chakra depletion. Minato-sensei couldn't just leave you and me unconscious, so to ensure our safety, he had to take us on an emergency retreat back to camp. After returning to camp, he handed you over to the medical team and, once he confirmed we were temporarily safe, immediately used his teleportation technique to rescue Kakashi. He was in such a hurry to save Kakashi that he didn't have time to explain any details, and he hasn't returned yet... So I really don't know how Kakashi is doing now."

After hearing Rin's explanation, Obito's impulsive and furious outburst cooled down instantly, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head.

He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't utter a single word.

The raging anger that had just been there now transformed into burning shame, which stung his cheeks.

He felt utterly ashamed.

So... it was because of me?!

Obito then came to his senses and began to reorganize the events.

He recalled that yesterday in the bamboo forest, in a moment of desperation and extreme anger, he had directly used his Mangekyou Sharingan on that Iwagakure Jonin, Oishi.

Moreover, it unleashed its eye power beyond its limits without regard to cost, instantly killing the target.

Although that attack successfully protected Rin's safety, it also caused his chakra to be severely depleted, leaving him unconscious on the spot.

Now that I've calmed down and thought about it again, I realized that I didn't actually need to go to such lengths to deal with that Iwa ninja, Daishi, who was skilled at stealth.

If I could have remained calmer then and controlled the output of my pupil power a little...

Ultimately, given his strength in the dream, he was no match for a mere Jonin from Iwagakure.

Even if the other party knows how to become invisible, it's not actually that difficult.

He was blinded by the memories of reality and chose the most extreme and costly method to take action.

Otherwise, he might have been able to maintain some fighting strength, or even try to retreat with Lin ahead of time.

This way, Minato wouldn't need to spare any effort to escort them back to camp, thus avoiding missing the best opportunity to rescue Kakashi.

[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]

Thinking of this, Obito felt even more embarrassed, and his impulsive accusations just now made him feel utterly ashamed.

He couldn't help but feel ashamed of his recklessness.

Obito coughed lightly, guiltily avoiding Rin's gaze, and said in a low voice, "Is that so... I was too hasty just now and didn't think that much about it."

The atmosphere inside the tent suddenly became somewhat awkward.

The two remained silent for a long time, neither of them speaking again.

After a long pause, Obito finally raised his head again, looked towards the tent entrance, and asked dryly, "So... how long has Minato-sensei been gone? Haven't we heard a thing?"

Lin shook her head gently, her worry deepening: "It's been almost all night."

"It's been almost all night..." Upon hearing this, Obito's heart sank once again.

Almost the entire night has passed.

Given the efficiency of Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique, he should have returned long ago if the rescue had gone smoothly...

But there's still no news at all.

Obito dared not think the worst and could only force himself to guess in a positive direction.

"They...they'll be alright, right, Lin?"

He lowered his head, his voice very soft, as if he were talking to himself, or as if he were seeking affirmation from Lin.

Lin nodded repeatedly, though her clear eyes also betrayed her unease, she still managed a reassuring smile: "Yes! Minato-sensei is so amazing, and Kakashi is strong too, they'll be alright!"

Upon hearing this, Obito didn't say anything more, but simply nodded silently.
