Naruto: Experience Pain, Start by Copying the Entire Shinobi World

Inside the medical tent, a strong smell of herbs mingled with a lingering stench of blood, making one's chest feel heavy.

Qianxuan leaned against the shadows in the corner, his eyes closed, but his mind was racing.

Obito has been captured.

Madara Uchiha's Eye of the Moon plan, that old codger, has finally begun its bloody prelude.

According to the script in his memory, Madara would then implant a talisman into Rin's heart, stuff the Three-Tails into her body, and meticulously plan a perfect "sacrifice for righteousness" scene.

In the end, Obito had to watch as Kakashi's Chidori pierced through Rin's chest.

My beloved died at the hands of my best friend.

This is the most perfect despair, and also the breeding ground for the most extreme hatred.

A pair of Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, capable of overturning the world, were thus forged.

but……

Qianxuan's brows furrowed into a knot.

He replayed Lin's fragmented descriptions from her earlier tearful account over and over again.

Obito awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan in a fit of extreme anger and resentment in order to save Kakashi from being beheaded.

In other words, the "sacrifice for opening these eyes" was not Rin, but Kakashi.

In this world, Obito is still the same fool who would do anything for his comrades; the hatred for the world has not yet been planted in his heart.

That plan of Ban...

An absurd yet logically perfectly self-consistent idea uncontrollably popped into Qianxuan's mind.

He thought about it carefully.

Obito's most frequently used catchphrase, from childhood to adulthood, is not "Rin!" but "Kakashi!"

"Kakashi, you bastard, let's settle this with a fight!"

"I will definitely surpass you, Kakashi!"

He'll get furious if Kakashi looks down on him, and he'll be more anxious than anyone else if he sees Kakashi injured.

This time, in order to save Kakashi, he directly activated his Mangekyou Sharingan.

and so……

Could it be...?

Qianxuan's expression instantly became extremely strange.

He felt as if he had stumbled upon some incredible, earth-shattering secret.

Could it be that Obito actually likes Kakashi?

As for Lin, she was just a smokescreen he used to conceal his true feelings.

hiss--

Qian Xuan gasped, the more he thought about it, the more unbreakable this chain of logic seemed.

In this way, everything makes sense!

Madara Uchiha's plan thus became even more vicious and twisted.

Kakashi killed Rin with his own hands, and Obito watched helplessly as the person he loved killed the girl he had used as a shield.

This double betrayal, this double blow...

Tsk tsk, that level of hatred must have skyrocketed on the spot!

Thinking of this, Qianxuan subconsciously glanced at the silver-haired boy who looked like he had lost his soul not far away, and his eyes even showed a trace of indescribable pity.

That's terrible, Kakashi.

So now the key question is, who should I protect?

Protecting Lin would nip Ban's plan in the bud, rendering all his arrangements futile.

As for protecting Kakashi...

Qianxuan pursed his lips.

Forget it, let him die.

A walking unit of chakra, it's evenly matched with anyone, but it runs out of chakra after that.

What do I care about the life or death of the chakra unit of measurement?

Lin is more important.

Having made up his mind, Qianxuan stood up and walked towards the brightly lit temporary command post.

……

Inside the command post tent.

Minato Namikaze stood before the enormous map, his handsome face etched with visible fatigue.

The war has temporarily come to an end, but it's time to take stock of the casualties, reassure the people, and rebuild the defenses...

Countless messes fell on his shoulders as the commander-in-chief.

"Brother Shuimen".

Qianxuan lifted the curtain and walked straight in.

"Qianxuan? Why didn't you rest a little longer..."

Minato turned around, saw him, and forced a gentle smile onto his face.

"He won't die."

Qian Xuan cut to the chase, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"I'm going to take Lin back to the village."

Minato paused for a moment, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"What's wrong? Right now, the front lines are in dire need of medical ninjas, and Rin..."

"Look at the state she's in now."

Qianxuan interrupted him.

"Obito's abduction was a huge blow to her. She's in a daze right now. How can you expect her to go on the operating table? What if her hand slips while she's saving someone and she accidentally attaches the patient's intestines to their lungs?"

"Letting her stay here, watching this battlefield where Obito disappeared, will only worsen her psychological trauma, and she'll be ruined sooner or later."

Qianxuan walked up to Shuimen, patted him on the shoulder, and lowered his voice.

"Besides, I'm tired and want to take a vacation. It's on my way, so I'll take her home. It'll kill two birds with one stone."

Minato looked at Sengen's face, which was filled with the words "I'm exhausted, I need to rest," and then thought of Rin's distraught appearance, and fell silent.

He knew that what Qianxuan said was true.

Lin's condition is indeed not suitable for her to stay on the front lines any longer.

"All right."

After a long silence, Minato nodded and sighed wearily.

"You've worked so hard, Qianxuan. You and Lin have both sacrificed so much for the village."

"Bring her back safely. I will explain the situation to the three generations of elders and request that she be granted a long leave."

"OK."

Having achieved his goal and received a positive reply, Qianxuan turned and left without uttering a single unnecessary word.

Watching his decisive back, Minato opened his mouth, but in the end, it turned into a helpless bitter smile.

This guy is still the same as always; he won't suffer even the slightest loss.

……

The next morning, at the camp gate.

Qianxuan found Lin, who was still helping to treat the wounded.

"Let's go, come back to the village with me."

"Huh? Going back to the village?"

Lin looked up, her face blank.

"Watergate approved your leave so you can go back and get some rest."

Qian Xuan gave a concise explanation, then without further ado, grabbed her wrist and walked out.

"But the wounded here..."

"The earth will keep turning no matter who's gone; the sky won't fall just because you're not here."

With the cool morning breeze in their faces, the two embarked on their journey home.

Lin was pulled along by Qianxuan, looking back at the messy camp every few steps. Her gaze finally fell on the lonely silver-haired boy's back, and her eyes reddened once again.

Qianxuan did not turn around.

His gaze remained fixed on the road leading to Konoha, deep and cold.

Madara Uchiha.

It's my turn to disrupt your game.
