Chapter 510: Kakashi and Obito

Seeing Obito's relaxed demeanor, Kakashi, with his face mask hiding his expression, spoke in a low voice, "Back then, Sensei negotiated with the Uchiha clan to preserve your Sharingan for me."

Hearing Kakashi's words, Obito looked at him, feeling a bit melancholic.

"Kakashi, what happened to me in the end? Did a shinobi like me, who sacrificed himself for a mission, receive any title or recognition?"

When asking this question, Obito appeared particularly excited, showing a keen interest in what happened to him after his death.

As Kakashi looked at his familiar friend, much of the darkness in his heart dissipated. Indeed, Lord Charles's power was extraordinary. Even for shinobi like Obito, who had died and lost half of his body, they could still be brought back intact.

After sighing inwardly at Charles's greatness, Kakashi answered Obito's question, "After the war ended, you were honored as a 'Leaf Hero'."

Upon hearing that he had been honored as a Leaf Hero, Obito jumped up from the sofa excitedly, raising his thumb and shouting joyfully, "Haha, I've been honored as a Leaf Hero! Fantastic! As expected of someone destined to become Hokage, even in death, I have my own title and become a hero of the village."

Watching the proud Obito, Kakashi suddenly thought of another figure in his mind—Naruto Uzumaki, one of his students. Kakashi suddenly felt that Obito and Naruto shared similar personalities, both full of vitality and unpredictability in their actions.

After Obito's excitement subsided, he suddenly seemed to remember something. His excited expression disappeared instantly, replaced by a hesitant look as he glanced at Kakashi, struggling to speak.

But eventually, Obito couldn't hold it in anymore. Just before he suffocated himself, he finally whispered in a small voice, "Kakashi, are you and Rin together?"

It occurred to Obito, who had died years ago, whether Rin had already been with Kakashi all these years.

After all, Rin had a good relationship with both him and Kakashi. In Obito's eyes, although Kakashi was his close friend, he was also his love rival.

Before his death, he had asked Kakashi to take care of Rin, so wouldn't it mean that they had been together all these years?

As Kakashi heard Obito mention Rin, his heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly. At that moment, his breathing became painful.

In his mind, a scene appeared—him holding the Chidori, and Rin rushing towards him. This moment filled him with sorrow and despair.

Just as the scene dissipated, another figure appeared in Kakashi's mind—a man named Charles Doyle.

With Lord Charles's abilities, bringing Rin to this world and resurrecting her should be no problem at all.

At this moment, much of the darkness surrounding Kakashi dissipated. Then, his voice, somewhat hoarse, spoke up, "No, we're both single."

Hearing that they were not together, although Obito found Kakashi's state a bit strange, he was overwhelmed by greater joy. At this moment, all he could think of in his mind was Rin.

As long as Kakashi was not with Rin...

As Obito began to fantasize about the days he could spend with Rin, lost in his thoughts, there was a sudden knock on the door. Kakashi, not wanting to delve further into the matter of Rin with Obito, immediately got up to answer it.

Opening the door, Kakashi was met not by a stranger but by one of his students, Uchiha Sasuke.

Seeing the door open, Sasuke spoke up immediately, "Kakashi-sensei!"

Kakashi looked at Sasuke, understanding immediately the purpose of his visit. He asked, "Are you here to see Uchiha Obito?"

Sasuke nodded. "I heard Lord Charles brought a member of the Uchiha clan this time, so I came to take a look."

Kakashi stepped aside, allowing Sasuke to see inside the room.

"He's in there. Come on in."

"Thank you, Kakashi-sensei."

Uchiha Sasuke entered the room and saw Obito, who looked about the same age as himself, wearing goggles and a cloak with the Uchiha clan symbol on the back.

Approaching Obito, Sasuke extended his hand. "I'm Uchiha Sasuke."

Seeing the young man before him, Obito shook his hand eagerly. "Hello, I'm Uchiha Obito."

After letting go of Sasuke's hand, Obito asked excitedly, "Do we have many shinobi from the Uchiha clan here?"

Sasuke shook his head. Then he replied, "Not many members of the Uchiha clan have come over. Including you, there are only three shinobi in total."

"But here, we can say that the Uchiha clan is currently the largest in number."

Sasuke's words were not wrong. There were only two members from the Hyuga clan and one from the Senju clan who had come over. So, indeed, the Uchiha clan had the most members at the moment.

Sasuke and Obito then engaged in conversation, while Kakashi sat nearby, occasionally interjecting.

…

Soon, it was noon.

Kakashi asked Sasuke to take Obito and let him familiarize himself with the intelligence information of this world. Then, the two left Kakashi's room.

After receiving a message from S.H.I.E.L.D., Kakashi obtained the location of the transaction.

Upon getting the address, Kakashi immediately headed towards Charles's location.

Arriving at the dining area where Charles and Tsunade had been chatting all morning, Kakashi greeted them respectfully.

"Lord Charles, Lady Tsunade."

After exchanging greetings, Kakashi addressed Charles, "Lord Charles, S.H.I.E.L.D. has sent the location of the transaction. I've checked the distance, and it's quite far from here. If we go by car, we'll just make it in time."

"If we don't use a car, we can get there even faster."

As ninja, they wouldn't encounter traffic issues, so they'd arrive even earlier. S.H.I.E.L.D. had calculated the time needed for the journey by car from their location to the transaction site and informed them accordingly, fearing a sudden attack by ninjas on their transaction site.

It was their way of taking precautions, but ultimately, it was up to fate.

Hearing Kakashi's words that the transaction address had been sent, Charles nodded.

"In that case, let's go by car."
