Chapter 305 A World Without Hope

Hatake Kakashi lowered his eyes and did not respond.

Although he had guessed it long ago, Uchiha Obito still felt a tightness in his heart when he got the confirmation.

He smiled nonchalantly, put his hands on his hips and looked at the silent silver-haired boy.

"Let me make it clear first. Haruko and I are childhood sweethearts. We grew up together, played together, and did everything together. So, we will definitely get married in the future!"

Suddenly, Hatake Kakashi asked back: "Are you so sure?"

"That's for sure."

Invisible smoke of gunpowder filled the air between the two young men who were facing each other. This was a showdown between the former and the latter.

Uchiha Obito changed the subject, "It is precisely because I know how I like Haruko that I came to ask for your help. If you also like Haruko, you will definitely risk your life to protect her."

The last-place guy who was usually flustered and unruly, now looked unusually steady and serious when he was asked for help.

Hatake Kakashi looked at him quietly for a few seconds, then nodded.

"I promise you."

……

Uchiha Obito grabbed Hatake Kakashi by the collar and yelled at him.

"Weren't you the one who always stayed with her before?"

"Why? Why didn't you protect her?!"

"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have trusted you in the first place! I shouldn't have entrusted her safety to you!"

White Zetsu told him that during the battle with the Nine-Tails, Kakashi Hatake, who was a member of the Anbu, stayed at his post to defend the village, and was truly a very admirable ninja.

But to Uchiha Obito, it sounded extremely harsh.

Uchiha Madara admitted it openly. Following his orders, White Zetsu took advantage of the chaos during the battle with the Nine-Tails to sneak into the scene and prepare to collect intelligence on the Nine-Tails.

Uchiha Haruko, who was disguised as a member of the Anbu, died at the hands of the Nine-Tails.

As the only ANBU member she knew, Hatake Kakashi must have known about her actions, but he did not stop her.

If we don't stop it, we'll be sending Haruko to her death.

It was difficult for Uchiha Obito, who was in a state of emotional collapse, not to blame the mistake on Hatake Kakashi.

So, he deprived Hatake Kakashi of the right to know.

"You have no right to think of her."

This is the punishment Uchiha Obito left for him.

But what about him? Can he say that he is qualified to remember everything about Haruko?

If he hadn't gone on a journey to practice, if he had stayed to protect and look after Haruko, if he had come back earlier...

Would Haruko not have died?

Blame and resentment are just a protective color for his anger and shame. The person Uchiha Obito hates the most in his heart is actually himself.

It is myself who has forgotten Haruko and is powerless to do anything.

He had never imagined Haruko's death. In his planned future, he would confess his love to Haruko, then get married and form the happiest family in the world.

"Haruko won't die, I will protect you forever!"

"I will never forget Haruko, so Haruko will never disappear!"

"So... let me stay with you forever!"

Over countless years, he made countless vows to his beloved.

These vows, along with the death of their loved ones, turned into nothing.

He should be the one who deserves to die the most.

In the end, it was hard to tell whether it was hatred for himself or hatred for the world. Uchiha Obito agreed to Uchiha Madara's solicitation and took over from him to realize the Moon Eye Project.

What's wrong with the fantasy world?

Reality is too cruel and will only make the emptiness in your heart bigger.

There is no hope in this world.

After Uchiha Madara died, Uchiha Obito traveled around the world using his name.

What Uchiha Obito saw and heard made him more convinced of this.

Now it doesn’t matter whether he is alive or not. He just wants to create a happy world where Haruko exists and Haruko will like it.

"I thought...you were dead."

Uchiha Obito spoke with difficulty, and his short sentences contained unknown illness and pain.

He was prepared that Haruko Zaoma would blame him, scold him, and even hate and despise him, but he didn't expect that Haruko Zaoma would apologize to him.

"Obito, I'm sorry..." Haruko moved closer and hugged his waist.

The subordinate's body was extremely thin, and just by holding him in her arms, Haruko could imagine how painful life Uchiha Obito, the only one who remembered her after her death, had gone through.

For other people, just remembering her again after forgetting her would be a torture, let alone Uchiha Obito who had to live alone with the memory of her.

Tears moistened Haruko's eyes as she continued to feel guilty.

"I should have told you everything, instead of bearing it all on my own for your own good."

"It's not your fault, Haruko, I just...just..." Uchiha Obito choked his voice and carefully hugged back the longing for you day and night, "I missed you so much."

Hearing his anxious tone, Haruko Zaoma felt even more guilty.

She sniffed, stepped back slightly, and looked up at the black-haired boy who was much taller than her.

"But Obito, you shouldn't spread the pain to others. Konoha not only has my ties, but also your ties..."

How could Uchiha Obito, blinded by hatred and pain, remember the bond he shared with Uchiha Haruko?

Uchiha Obito clenched his fists when he recalled how Kakashi Hatake had repeatedly begged him for an answer and how he had been running around looking for him all these years.

In fact, isn't he torturing himself in his heart with the pain of Hatake Kakashi?

“There’s still a chance to make amends.”

In the morning, Haruko's words brought him back to his senses.

"Obito, your ability to dig out the soil out of thin air just now is a space-time ninjutsu, right?"

When she mentioned this, Uchiha Obito closed his eyes directly. When he opened them again, a pair of blood-red kaleidoscopes rotated in his eyes.

He pointed at his eyes and introduced: "This is my pupil ability, Shenwei, which can transfer objects or people into the Shenwei space."

"That's great!" After confirming her guess, Haruko Zaojian couldn't hide her excitement.

"Haruko, what do you want to do?"

"My pupil technique can reverse time and space and allow me to go back to the past, but... its ability is not very stable now. Even if I reverse time, I cannot go back to the past and change history."

Looking at Uchiha Obito whose eyes were only on her, Haruko Asagumi couldn't help but lie.

If Uchiha Obito knew the truth, he would definitely not agree to her. In order to change the fate of Konoha, Haruko Hayama could only apologize to him silently.

On her face, Haruko still looked hopeful in the morning.

"But your eye technique is also a time and space ability. With the combined effect of our eye techniques, maybe I can send you back to change the history of Konoha's destruction!"

Turning time and space over and changing fate, even Uchiha Obito, who has traveled all over the world, could not hide his shock when he heard it.

His eyes were filled with inquiry, "Haruko, who are you..."

Morning Haruko calmly met his gaze and said calmly: "I will explain it to you later, but we don't have much time now."

Akatsuki only gave her an hour, and she still didn't know the situation inside Konoha.

The best thing to do now is to go back in time and stop this war.

But Uchiha Obito did not reply immediately. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something but it seemed difficult to put the words into words.

At Haruko's urging, Uchiha Obito sighed and confessed to her in a low voice.

"There is a curse seal set by Uchiha Madara in my heart. I can neither commit suicide nor resist. I can only obey his orders. Although he died a long time ago, I have his spy Black Zetsu by my side."

He just downplayed the terrifying experience.

Haruko opened her almond-shaped eyes wide in the morning, unable to believe how he had managed to survive all these years despite facing life-threatening situations.

"how so……"

Noticing that her eyes were about to become wet again, Uchiha Obito quickly laughed and scratched his head, explaining that it was no big deal.

At that moment, Haruko seemed to see the young Uchiha Obito.

Uchiha Obito hid his true feelings because he didn't want to make her worry.

Suddenly, the sourness in Haruko's nose in the morning became even stronger.

Unable to bear the sight of her crying, Uchiha Obito took the initiative to take her hand and placed it in front of his heart.

"Haruko, kill my heart."
