Chapter 217: Kakashi: Obito... Is Still Alive!?



It really was like being blinded by the obvious truth.

When Kakashi's Sharingan evolved into the Mangekyō, neither he nor the Uchiha clan ever thought to question the source. Everyone's attention was solely focused on Kakashi himself, trying to figure out why his Sharingan had reached the level of the Mangekyō.

After all, everyone had long assumed that Obito was dead, his body lost without a trace.

So, no one considered the possibility that the evolution of Kakashi's Sharingan wasn't due to him, but because of the other eye-Obito's.

Now that Uchiha Akira had pointed this out, it was as if a new light had been shone on the situation, presenting a theory that made sense from a completely different perspective.

After all, Uchiha eyes usually evolved in pairs, didn't they?

There had never been a case where only one eye evolved into the Mangekyō.

"Could it be... someone found Obito's body and took his Sharingan?" Kakashi muttered to himself.

"No, wait. Even if someone had taken his eye, it would just be a transplant. It couldn't evolve further."

"Unless... a member of the Uchiha clan found Obito's body and transplanted his eye?"

"But that doesn't make sense either. Any Uchiha capable of evolving the Sharingan to Mangekyō would just use their own eyes. Why would they need to steal Obito's?"

"Unless... the person who took Obito's eye had already lost their own?"

Following Akira's lead, Kakashi's mind began to race with possibilities.

But Akira, watching Kakashi get lost in these convoluted thoughts, felt a bit exasperated. He had practically handed Kakashi the correct answer on a silver platter, yet Kakashi was still veering off in the wrong direction.

"Have you ever considered that maybe... Obito didn't die?" Akira finally interrupted, unable to watch Kakashi stray any further from the truth.

"What? Obito... is still alive!?" Kakashi was taken aback, and as he thought about it, everything started to make sense.

But then he shook his head. "That's impossible. I saw Obito die with my own eyes."

Even though Akira's suggestion made sense, Kakashi couldn't reconcile it with what he remembered. He had never doubted Obito's death.

"And besides, if Obito was still alive, why hasn't he returned to Konoha after all these years?" Kakashi added.

"Do you think something might have happened that changed Obito's heart?" Akira asked. "No way!" Kakashi shook his head again, this time more forcefully.

Perhaps sensing that Akira wasn't convinced, Kakashi added, "Imagine Naruto turning his back on Konoha one day. Can you believe that would happen?"

"Obito and Naruto are incredibly similar in personality," Kakashi continued. "That's why I refuse to believe Obito could ever change."

Hearing this, Akira paused for a moment. It did make sense.

If Akira hadn't altered the original course of events, both Naruto and Obito would have shared the same underdog story. They were both labeled as "losers," and they both dreamed of becoming Hokage.

In personality, both were carefree, even a bit goofy at times.

Rin had indeed died by Kakashi's hand.

And if Obito had witnessed that scene... What would have happened?

Kakashi couldn't bear to think about it.

If Obito had seen Rin's death, he undoubtedly would have been pushed to the edge, and his Sharingan would have evolved into the Mangekyō.

The conditions for evolving the Mangekyō were extreme. Many had lost loved ones without unlocking it, but Kakashi knew—if Obito had seen that scene- he would have awakened his

Mangekyō.

"Akira... Is this what your foresight told you?" Kakashi's voice was hoarse and weak, his

energy drained as he spoke.

Akira didn't respond.

And truthfully, Kakashi didn't expect him to.

After all, the only people who knew the full truth of Rin's death were himself and Minato.

Even Minato had told Kakashi not to share it with anyone, not even with Kushina.

But somehow, Akira knew the details-so Kakashi believed it must be due to Akira's ability to

foresee the future.

Which could only mean... Obito was still alive.

The reason he hadn't returned to Konoha all these years was because he had witnessed

Kakashi killing Rin that day.

"Impossible... Obito didn't die? He's really still alive?"

"But... his body was half-crushed under those boulders!"

"Even his body fell into the depths of the ravine... How could he have survived?"

As Kakashi replayed the events of that day in his mind, he began to realize that despite how

impossible it seemed, Obito might truly have survived.

After this conversation with Akira, Kakashi was beginning to understand that his Mangekyō Sharingan was the most undeniable proof that Obito was still alive.
