It wasn't surprising that everyone was overly nervous and easily startled. After all, a fierce battle had just broken out here, and the enemy could appear at any moment.
This is Shisui?
Kouki glanced at the other person, discovering a youth who appeared to be about the same age as Kakashi.
Shisui's age was never explicitly stated in Naruto, so there was some debate.
Some people judged based on scenes of Shisui and Itachi together, guessing that Shisui was three or four years older than Itachi, which was a very one-sided view.
Naruto wasn't a live-action drama, so judging age by appearance wasn't reliable. It was more reasonable to judge by plot and background.
Killer Bee, Ao, and others had recollections involving Shisui, and Shisui had even startled a younger Ao, so Shisui's age wouldn't be that young.
Moreover, it was more reasonable for a ninja to become famous throughout the ninja world and even earn a specific title during a time of war. The possibility of Shisui becoming famous during the Third Shinobi World War was relatively high.
"Noth... nothing..."
Meeting Shisui's gaze, Kouki immediately waved his hand and answered casually.
However, he noticed that everyone was still staring intently at him.
Kouki suddenly realized that this wasn't his past life, but a world of ninjas!
Although a Genin's strength was weak, they were still warriors who had trained with countless drops of sweat. How could they not even be able to lift a stone?
A casual excuse wouldn't dispel everyone's suspicions.
"I'm just... afraid to see Obito-nii's..." Kouki immediately said in a sorrowful voice.
Everyone suddenly understood. Kouki was afraid to see Uchiha Obito's corpse and unwilling to accept the fact that Uchiha Obito had likely already died.
"Kouki, we are ninjas, and it is our mission to defend the village at all costs! We are willing to sacrifice our lives for this. Even if Obito is really dead, he is a hero!"
Shisui said to Kouki with a serious expression.
"No, Obito won't die!" Kakashi said stubbornly, gritting his teeth.
The others sighed slightly. Buried under such a massive pile of rocks, Uchiha Obito was probably crushed into mincemeat.
How could he still be alive?
But they could understand Kakashi's feelings and didn't say much.
"That's right, Kakashi, Obito didn't die. He was rescued by Uchiha Madara a long time ago!"
The only one who knew the truth, Kouki, couldn't help but think to himself after hearing Kakashi's words.
Of course, it was just a thought. He couldn't say it out loud no matter what.
He continued to move stones outwards like everyone else, maintaining a sorrowful expression on his face.
Kouki didn't want to reveal anything suspicious to others for the time being.
"Kannabi Bridge actually yielded the Rinnegan after signing in. Is this place really that special?"
However, Kouki's heart was far from calm. His mind was filled with thoughts about the sign-in system.
In the anime, the Battle of Kannabi Bridge was extremely significant because it was the starting point of Obito's descent into darkness and the beginning of Madara's Eye of the Moon Plan.
But for the world of Naruto, Kannabi Bridge was just the location of a battle. There was nothing else special about it.
"Could it be... that the special nature of Kannabi Bridge isn't because of the battle, but because of... Madara hidden underground?"
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Kouki's mind, causing him to realize the truth.
Underneath Kannabi Bridge was a secret base!
The elderly Madara had been lurking in that base for who knows how long!
"Forget it, that question is meaningless. Right now, I should be the only perfect wielder of the Rinnegan in the entire Naruto world, right?"
Kouki thought excitedly in his mind.
Of course, Kouki wasn't the only one who possessed the Rinnegan right now. Nagato had possessed the Rinnegan for who knows how many years.
But the key issue was that Nagato wasn't a member of the Uchiha clan, so he wasn't a perfect wielder!
Although he was a member of the Uzumaki clan and possessed a hax body, he still had to endure the Rinnegan's immense burden.
Kouki was different. His eyes were completely equivalent to the original owner's, so he could naturally control them perfectly.
Not only would he not suffer any burden, but he could also freely close and open the Rinnegan.
It was important to note that although Kouki now possessed the Rinnegan, his pupils were still ordinary eyes!
They weren't the Rinnegan.
However, when Kouki needed to use the Rinnegan, he could automatically switch to the Rinnegan state with just a thought. It was simply too convenient.
While thinking about these things in his head, he continued to move stones. Before he knew it, everyone had removed all the rocks.
But to everyone's surprise, the space below was empty. There was no Uchiha Obito's body at all.
"How could this be? Obito was clearly buried under here!" Kakashi frowned, utterly perplexed.
"Kakashi, could you be mistaken?" Shisui pondered for a moment before turning his head and asking.
"No, I'm sure this is the place!" Kakashi said firmly.
"Kakashi, Obito must have been rescued! That's great, Obito isn't dead!" Rin exclaimed hopefully.
"Yes! That must be it! Someone must have rescued Obito!" Kakashi's eyes also lit up, and he nodded emphatically in agreement.
Shisui sighed slightly in his heart. He wanted to voice his opposition, but if someone had really rescued Obito, why would they pile the stones back up?
Was it to mislead people?
It just didn't make sense.
However, Shisui also knew that Kakashi and Rin had finally ignited a spark of hope in their hearts, and he couldn't bear to discourage them at this time, so he didn't say much.
As for why Uchiha Obito's body was missing, it was indeed a bit strange, but with the war situation pressing, it wasn't the time to dwell on such matters.
Since they hadn't found Obito's body, Shisui and the others naturally didn't stay there for long and immediately began to return to Konoha.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
