"If you were any later, the Naruto story would have already ended!".
Even though he couldn't see Kurama, Kakashi heard the roar very clearly.
"Uh...". Kakashi awkwardly touched his cheek, looking at the different expressions on the faces of the people behind him. Even with his thick skin, he felt his face turning hot.
He blushed.
But it was indeed his fault, he would confess.
Before he could explain, Kushina eagerly came in front of him and asked with concern, "Did you see Obito and Rin?".
Kakashi was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, "Mother, Rin said she has been watching us all along. As for Obito, he...has realized his mistake."
After speaking, Kakashi turned his gaze to Minato, "Teacher Minato...".
He seemed to want to say something, but couldn't bring himself to, and in the end, he just looked at Minato in silence.
But Minato didn't blame him. Instead, he showed the bright smile he used to have, "If there is anyone in this world who should blame him, I definitely wouldn't be one of them. On the contrary...".
"I should apologize to him...". Minato's eyes were a little dim, "If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have become like this...".
Yes, Minato blamed everything on himself.
"I...was not a good teacher...".
He always thought so.
Kushina was also sad. If it wasn't for Obito's grandmother, the only other person who was genuinely nice to Obito was probably her.
That's why, seeing Obito become like this, the sadness in her heart was no less than anyone else's.
"Teacher...Mother...". Kakashi took a deep breath, and a smile that had never been seen before appeared on his tired face, "Before leaving, Obito asked me to pass on a message to you."
Minato and Kushina looked over at the same time.
"I will not regret killing you, and I will not deny my mistakes...". He said softly, and even Kakashi himself didn't realize the gentleness in his tone, "But Teacher Minato...Mother Kushina...I'm sorry...".
"I cannot atone for my mistakes, not even with my life. I do not beg for your forgiveness, I am not qualified...".
"But...".
"Please don't hate Rin and Kakashi...They did nothing wrong...".
Kakashi looked up, his expression serious, "What caused all of this is this flawed world."
These words were not at all what someone hoping to be forgiven would say.
But that was Obito's most real thought.
He didn't wake up like in the original story, but instead became more firm in his beliefs as he faced things time and time again.
He never cared about this world. The only thing he cared about was Rin...Perhaps in the final moments of his life, there were three more figures in his heart.
His best friend Hatake Kakashi, his perhaps irresponsible teacher Minato Namikaze, and his mother-figure who he was most sorry to...Kushina Uzumaki.
Minato closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved upwards.
Kushina covered her mouth, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Sorry to interrupt, I know you guys are getting emotional, but please don't get emotional right now, because...". Just as the two were moved, they heard a loud roar in their ears.
"Enough already!".
Kurama's mouth was twisted in anger, "I'm here enduring the Expanding Truth-Seeking Ball! I can barely hold on, and the only guy who can get us all out of here has time to be sentimental?".
"You're blaming the world? Say that to Katsura Kotonoha and see if she listens to you!".
"Damn it!".
As he finished speaking, the light suddenly intensified, and the Truth-Seeking Ball surrounding Kurama began to collapse.
Kurama's expression changed, and his Chakra burst forth with all its might, maintaining the defense of the Truth-Seeking Ball, "Damn it, Kaguya really wants to get rid of all of us in one shot."
The power of this attack was a bit beyond Kurama's expectations. As expected of a technique used by Ootsuki to destroy the world, even if it wasn't in its most perfect form, it could create such terrifying power. If it was at its full strength, the entire ninja world would be finished!
But luckily, there was someone on the scene who could perfectly counter this broken ninjutsu.
"Kakashi!". Kurama shouted, "Whether it's the fault of fate or the fault of the world! Use your Kamui to transport us to another dimension first!".
Below, Kakashi, who had just been a little touched, twitched at the corner of his eye, but thinking about the current situation, he swallowed the complaints he wanted to say.
The scarlet Sharingan spun in his eyes, Kakashi looked at the people in front of him, and his eye power flowed slightly, "Everyone, you are more familiar with the situation than I am, so please do not resist."
Although resisting wouldn't do any good, if someone moved, they might end up transporting half a person instead of the whole person, and that would be horrifying.
"Do it, young one." As one of the few people who knew about Obito's Sharingan ability, Madara looked at the constantly flashing light in the sky, his eyes flickering.
"What? Do you regret not using this move before?" Hashirama looked at him with a bit of teasing.
Madara twitched at the corner of his mouth, and was about to curse back when he felt the familiar pulling sensation coming from his body.
Kamui was activated.
Madara took a breath, and decided to let this wood-brained guy off the hook for now.
Below, after everyone was taken into the Kamui space, Kakashi turned his head to look above.
Kurama was still resisting the attack of the Expanding Truth-Seeking Ball, and the defense of the Truth-Seeking Ball in front of him was already full of cracks. It seemed that he could continue to resist only because of Kurama's huge chakra.
Looking at Kurama's face that was almost purple, Kakashi couldn't help but want to laugh. It was really rare to see this guy get defeated.
But then he thought that Kurama was also trying to save the world, so Kakashi felt that it wasn't right for him to laugh.
So, he decided to just laugh in his heart and not laugh out loud.
"Huh?". Kurama, whose face was the color of liver, looked at Kakashi with a confused expression, "I feel malice from you. Are you slandering me in your heart?".
Kakashi: "...".
Malice perception, what an amazing ability.
Kakashi's expression became serious again, and his Sharingan spun again, "Kurama, get ready, I'm going to transfer you to the Kamui space."
A vein popped out on Kurama's forehead, "You're definitely slandering me!".
"Here it comes!". Kakashi's face was full of seriousness.
The amount of Chakra needed to transfer the body of a Tailed Beast was completely different from the amount of Chakra needed to transfer the body of a human. Even though Kakashi didn't have to bear the side effects like before because of Obito's gift, his amount of chakra was already small, and this used up most of it.
Watching Kurama disappear into the air and the Truth-Seeking Ball collapse, Kakashi let out a sigh of relief with a weak expression.
Next, he just needed to maintain his own transfer to ensure that he wouldn't be hit by the Expanding Truth-Seeking Ball.
Simple, Kamui in both eyes could transfer himself several times faster, and the Expanding Truth-Seeking Ball couldn't possibly exceed that.
But that wasn't the main point...
Putting away the Susanoo that he used for temporary defense, Kakashi's eyes looked towards the horizon, where there was a more concentrated Chakra aura than the Expanding Truth-Seeking Ball.
"Kaguya...". Kakashi clenched his fists and looked towards Kaguya's location, "I finally have the power to fight you...I'm finally not hiding behind my students...".
