Chapter 296: Like Dad or Mom?
Screen turn
game over.
Obito drank the water in big gulps.
[It has always been Obito who is the demon. 】
The other friends echoed: [But I never expected that we couldn't catch Kakashi once. ]
[Kakashi is really too strong! ]
Obito turned his head away in displeasure.
[Ah? Mom!] Lin stood up and said to Obito: [Obito, I'm home.]
【I went back too.】
Several other children also ran towards the adults not far away.
Kakashi and Obito are the only ones left here.
Kakashi suddenly said: [I win again.]
Seeing Obito's increasingly unhappy expression, Kakashi said: "But I have to praise you for one thing. So far, you are the only one who has not shown weakness to me."
Obito glanced to the side: [Humph! What are you so proud of? ]
【It's rare to praise you. 】
Kakashi rolled his eyes, but saw Sakumo not far away.
【My dad is here, bye. 】
Obito turned his head back and said, "Oh. See you later."
He looked at the father and son not far away, a little absent-minded.
……
Somewhere in the ninja world
Kakashi's eyes were filled with nostalgia.
“That time… was really good.”
All those he held dear were still alive.
But it's too late to cherish it now.
Parker looked up at him and said, "Kakashi, what you said to Obito meant that you were brave for not showing weakness to me, but if I could praise you, that would be your courage. Is that right?"
The nostalgia in Kakashi's eyes disappeared in an instant.
He scratched his head in embarrassment: "Is... is that so? I was always stealing his limelight at the time, so I wanted to find a reason to praise him to ease the relationship. I didn't think too much about it."

Obito's House
Obito, who was eating, looked at his grandmother who was sitting opposite him.
[Hey, grandma. Do I look like dad or mom? ]
[This one. They are both alike. You were born with your parents’ lives, so you can’t let them down. You should help others as much as possible.]
【it is good! 】
……
Ninja World
"You look like the second Sage of Six Paths."
"Like an extreme ninja terrorist."
"Like a good student who respects his teacher."
"Like at the Junior Ninjutsu Tournament, the judges hold a scoreboard with six points printed on it."
"Like Kakashi-sensei's white moonlight."
The malice of the crowd is so pure.
Somewhere in the ninja world
Kakashi sneezed and opened his eyes full of complex expressions: "Maybe this is why Obito was always willing to help others?"
In the divine space
Obito lowered his head.
"If they see me like this, grandma and Lin probably won't admit that this is Uchiha Obito, right?"
"...But it doesn't matter anymore! In the new world I create, everyone will have a new life!"
There was a glimmer of madness in Obito's downcast eyes.
"Infinite Tsukuyomi does not mean there is no chance."
As long as he holds one of the trump cards, Naruto or Sasuke, there is still hope.
He didn't know why he would lend his eyes to Kakashi in the future.
But this is absolutely impossible for him now.
Unless Kakashi helps him realize the Moon Eye Project.

Next scene
[Oh no, oh no! Today is the only day I must not be late! ]
As they were running, the curtain of the entrance ceremony in front was untied by two ninjas.
Obito slowly stopped.
Groups of children passed by him, talking and laughing.
Kakashi stopped as he passed by Obito.
[You are late for the entrance ceremony. You are not qualified to attend the ninja school. You will never be able to succeed.]
[It’s okay. I’ll take it for you.]
Seeing Lin handing him the admission letter, Obito pointed at himself and said, "Mine?"
[Well, you can enroll smoothly as long as you submit these documents. ]
Obito's cheeks turned slightly red, and he clasped his hands together in gratitude and said, "I'm saved. I'm very grateful."
Kakashi said at the side: [Tsk. If we keep pampering him, he will never get rid of his old habit of being late.]
Obito yelled at Kakashi in dissatisfaction: [Stop talking nonsense! You want to fight? Bastard! ]
【What? 】
Obito was not to be outdone: [What do you mean? ]
【You are wrong! 】
[What did you say! Idiot Kakashi!]
Screen turn
Obito and Rin were walking on their way home.
[Hatake Kakashi! I must defeat him and become Hokage! ]
Lin chuckled and said, "This is exactly the energy I want."
Screen turn
In class
Obito made hand seals with both hands.
"boom!"
A small gray man appeared next to Obito.
The students in the class burst into laughter.
When it was Kakashi's turn.
"Bang!" Three shadow clones of Kakashi appeared.
The students in the class exclaimed.
Screen turn
In a throwing training class.
Without exception, Obito was crushed by Kakashi once again.
The girls in the class looked at Kakashi with admiration.
Lin clapped and said with emotion: [Kakashi is different from us. ]
Obito clenched his fists, looking unwilling to accept Kakashi stealing his limelight.
After school
Obito put his hands in his pockets and walked home with an unhappy look on his face.
A passing classmate laughed and said, "That idiot, I heard that he challenged Kakashi again, and ended up getting taught a lesson."
[How can the last place win against the first place? ]
At this moment, Obito suddenly saw Rin also come close to Kakashi.
Obito stopped and looked at the two people walking side by side.
"Sooner or later I will be able to open my Sharingan, and I won't lose to him anymore!"
Screen turn
In the sparring class
Obito and Kakashi fought back and forth using physical skills.
……
Ninja World
"I can see that Uchiha Obito actually has a crush on Rin, right? That's why he's upset with Kakashi for stealing his limelight in front of Rin."
"It's so similar! Isn't this the same as the battle in the kaleidoscope space?"
"At this time, Kakashi has no rivals among his peers, so Uchiha Obito is doomed to fail."
"..."
"Teacher Kakashi deserves everyone's love!"
"He is indeed very powerful after opening the Sharingan, provided that he has the Mangekyō."
"This guy's Mangekyō ability is the strongest I've ever seen, and Uchiha Shin's ability is the weakest I've ever seen."
on screen
Lin watched the two sparring with a worried look on her face.
Obito kicked Kakashi away, then stepped forward and punched Kakashi who was lying on the ground.
With a "bang", Kakashi on the ground turned into a piece of wood.
Kakashi appeared behind Obito and pressed a kunai against his neck.
The head teacher quickly said: [That’s it! ]
Obito held out his hand and was pulled up by Kakashi.
But after taking a glimpse of Lin's expression, he turned away disappointedly.
Screen turn
It was drizzling outside the classroom.
In the classroom
Obito was a little surprised and said: [Kakashi has been taking leave recently. ]
[I heard that his father passed away. I think he must be very sad.]
After that, Kakashi skipped a grade and left the Ninja School.
When they met again, Kakashi was already wearing a ninja forehead protector.
Obito and Rin walked up to Kakashi.
[Your forehead protector is...]
【Did you pass? Congratulations. 】
Obito lowered his head, somewhat unwilling to be left so far behind by Kakashi.
