Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History...

the other side.

Minato and his group were traveling through Konoha Village when they inadvertently turned a street corner and discovered an unusual place.

"Is this a cemetery?" Obito stared at the sign in front of him, a sudden thought flashing through his mind.

He said to Minato in a mysterious tone, "Teacher, perhaps our tombstones stand in here?"

Minato rubbed his nose, replying somewhat awkwardly, "In this timeline, that kind of thing probably really does exist..."

"Obito, you don't mean to think...?"

"That's right! Let's go take a look, and while we're at it, let's burn some incense for ourselves over there!" Obito said excitedly, offering this unique suggestion.

Minato chuckled upon hearing this, finding Obito's whimsical idea somewhat amusing.

Kushina and Rin Nohara, on the other hand, had expressions that were both funny and exasperated.

That's a really strange idea.

Before anyone could react, Obito grabbed Nohara Rin and excitedly rushed into the cemetery.

"Obito, slow down..."

Despite her reluctance, Nohara Rin was still infected by Obito's enthusiasm and followed him in.

………………

Standing silently before the tombstones of Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara, Kakashi Hatake gazed at the gravestones, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

After a long while, he sighed softly, put down two bouquets of flowers, and sat down in front of the grave.

"Obito, twelve years have passed in the blink of an eye. If you were still here, you might have become Hokage by now."

"I failed to protect Lin, you must be very disappointed in me..."

"I know you guys are probably talking about me behind my back," Kakashi said with a self-deprecating laugh.

………………

At that moment, a figure quietly hid in the shadows, completely covered by a hoodie, revealing only the face of a tiger-striped mask.

He naturally heard Kakashi's whisper as well.

His fists clenched in anger: "Kakashi, what's the point of saying all this now?!"

"I will never forgive you..."

"Just you wait, I'll soon create a perfect world!"

"You can explain it to Lin yourself then!"

The masked man was about to leave when he suddenly stopped, his exposed eye fixed on the entrance to the cemetery.

"What...is this?!"

The masked man trembled slightly, filled with disbelief.

What did he see?

He saw himself!

And that girl I miss day and night!

He saw himself holding her hand, laughing and running in the sunlight.

The girl's face beamed with a smile, her eyes filled with love and happiness.

Am I hallucinating...?

The masked man staggered a few steps, muttering to himself.

He felt that such a heartwarming scene was too overwhelming for a mouse like him, who was hiding in the shadows to escape reality.

During her lifetime, he never dared to openly hold her hand and run in the sunlight.

Not to mention she's already dead, killed by Kakashi!

He could only attribute it to hallucination; yes, it was just his hallucination.

However, when his younger self ran past him with Rin Nohara, the masked man had to admit that he felt a little envious of that illusion.

For some reason, the younger version of himself glanced at his hiding place, his eyes seeming to hold something strange.

It must be an illusion, since he was in the Divine Might Space and no one could detect him.

"Never mind, never mind."

"Once the Eye of the Moon Project succeeds, I will also be free."

The masked man sighed, preparing to use his divine power to leave, but then froze again.

This time it was because he saw two figures that made his heart tremble.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki!

"They're running too fast, Minato, let's catch up quickly."

"OK."

Witnessing the Minato couple passing by with such pleasure, Masked Man felt utterly devastated.

"Is this also a hallucination?"

He can no longer distinguish between reality and illusion...

I can't tell the difference!

I really can't tell the difference!

....................................

Minato Namikaze and Kushina finally caught up with Obito and the others, but Minato inexplicably turned his head to look at a large tree nearby, his eyes full of confusion.

"Is it just my imagination? I can vaguely sense the presence of the Flying Thunder God Mark."

Minato was puzzled. He hadn't used the Flying Thunder God Technique since arriving in this timeline, so where did the mark come from?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: "Could it be...?"

The mark of the Flying Thunder God, once left, will never disappear.

Could it be left behind by another version of myself in this time and space?

Obito Uchiha then stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Minato-sensei, have you noticed anything amiss?"

"Hmm, you feel that way too?"

"The Kamui Space must be unique. As I approached, I could sense the power of Kamui being used; someone was employing intangibility."

"But this person isn't me," Obito laughed.

Minato chuckled, "What are you planning to do? Intervene? But shouldn't you ask Group Leader Yuzuki's opinion first?"

Obito waved his hand: "Let it go. After all, this is the group owner's territory. We're just guests; it's not appropriate for us to act recklessly. The group owner hasn't done anything to him, so there must be a reason."

Minato nodded in agreement, knowing that someone as important as Shinomiya Yuuki naturally had his reasons for doing things.

"Forget about him, let's go tease Kakashi!" Obito suddenly had a mischievous thought.

From their position, they could see Kakashi sitting alone in front of the tombstones, whispering to the two cold stone tablets, and occasionally chuckling to himself.

"Hehe, Minato-sensei, Kushina-sensei-mrs. Please wait here for a moment. Rin and I will go over and give him a little surprise."

"Obito, this isn't a good idea." Nohara Rin seemed a little hesitant.

Minato gave a wry smile: "You and Kakashi are really..."

"I hope Kakashi isn't too frightened." Kushina covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Let me see just how powerful that arrogant Kakashi really is when he grows up."

"Lin, let's go!"

After saying that, Obito grabbed Nohara Rin and, with the help of Kamui, silently moved behind Kakashi.

At this moment, Kakashi, completely unaware, was still talking to himself in front of the tombstone:

"Well, it's getting late, I'll head back now. I'll come visit you again next time."

Just as Kakashi was about to get up and leave, after patting his butt twice, a leisurely voice came from behind him:

"Idiot Kakashi, you came to offer sacrifices and didn't even bring anything I like, just a bunch of flowers. Do you expect me to live on flower petals?"

Kakashi suddenly stopped.

That sound...

So familiar!

He slowly turned around, eager to confirm the long-lost figure, yet fearing it was just his imagination playing tricks on him.

Finally, he turned around completely, and his face, which always radiated optimism and vitality, came into view.

Beside the boy, a girl clung tightly to him. Seeing Kakashi looking over, the girl flashed a sweet smile and called out:

"Kakashi, it's been a long time."

"Obito..."

"Lin..."

Kakashi couldn't tell whether it was an illusion caused by excessive longing or a manifestation of the two spirits.

"Hey! Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me?" Obito leaned closer to the dazed Kakashi and waved his hand in annoyance.

"Um?"

"What's wrong, Obito?"

Kakashi snapped out of his daze and uttered the name that had been buried for many years.

In any case, since we rarely meet, even if it's just in a dream, we should at least chat for a bit!

"I said, where are my offerings!"

"You think these two bunches of tattered flowers are even enough to fill a tooth gap?!"

Otto pointed to the flowers on the grave.

"You heartless bastard! For over a decade, you haven't brought us a single meal. I'm left down there drinking water from the underworld to fill my stomach every day!"

"Look, Lin has lost so much weight from starvation."

Obito pinched Nohara Rin's arm tenderly, making her feel quite embarrassed.

The atmosphere... was incredibly awkward.

What should I do if I get caught later?
