Kakashi was also angered by Obito's sudden attack and used all his strength in that kick.
He used all his strength in that kick without holding back!
Seeing Kakashi's fierce flying kick coming towards his face, Obito remained unusually calm.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Ha, as long as he activates his ethereal form to dodge that kick, he can completely defeat Ka—
boom! ! !
With a muffled thud, Kakashi's all-out kick landed squarely on Obito's cheek!
Obito instantly felt as if his left cheek had been struck by a giant hammer. He was sent flying uncontrollably, spinning several times in mid-air before finally crashing with a "thud" onto the open ground outside the arena, raising a cloud of dust.
Silence, deathly silence.
Everyone on the field was stunned.
Just a second ago, Obito was full of momentum, but now he was lying on the ground like a broken doll, motionless.
Immediately afterwards, a murmur of discussion suddenly erupted from the crowd—
"Sigh, I knew it. How could Obito possibly beat Kakashi..."
"Yeah, I thought Obito was really going to win, but it turns out Kakashi was just holding back."
"His acting was so convincing, I almost believed him! Kakashi is such a nice guy, giving Obito so much face."
"cough!"
Seeing several students crowding around, the prison guard quickly waved his hand, "Stop talking, keep order!"
At the other end of the field, Obito lay on the ground for more than ten seconds before shakily propping himself up.
His head was still spinning, his ears were ringing, and half of his face was burning with pain.
He shook his head vigorously, and his vision gradually returned to focus.
Yes!
He doesn't know anything about intangibility now!
Obito wished he could punch himself twice to vent his anger; what a perfect opportunity!

"Obito!"
An anxious cry was heard.
Nohara Rin, disregarding everything else, rushed to Obito's side and knelt down, her pretty face filled with worry. "Obito, are you alright?!"
Obito looked up at the sound.
Lin's eyes, brimming with concern, came into his view, leaving him momentarily dazed.
He struggled to sit up, and was about to say "I'm fine," but the pain from the injury on his face was excruciating, making him gasp.
Seeing this, Lin became even more anxious and quickly reached out her soft little hand to support Obito's shoulder, saying with concern, "Don't move, let me check your injury!"
As she spoke, she focused her mind and gathered her energy, and a layer of light green chakra light appeared in her palm, which she gently placed on Obito's swollen left cheek.
The gentle medical chakra continuously seeps into the tissues, relieving bruising and swelling while also bringing a refreshing and soothing sensation.
Obito felt the burning pain on his cheek gradually subside, replaced by a warm and gentle touch, like a breeze caressing his face.
Nohara Rin looked focused and murmured softly, "It's alright, the pain will go away soon... How are you feeling?"
Obito stared blankly at Rin, who was so close to him.
The anxious and concerned look on her face, the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, the shallow breath she exhaled...
Every single one of them is a real and vivid representation.
In that instant, Obito almost forgot the pain, and his whole being seemed to fall into a strange trance.
It doesn't seem like such a bad thing after all...
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
Obito's eyes darted around: "Ouch! Rin! My face really hurts!"
As Obito was immersed in Rin's gentle care, a worried voice suddenly sounded beside him: "Um... Obito, how are you?"
He turned his head and saw that young Kakashi had walked over at some point.
His usually aloof face showed a rare hint of unease, his hands awkwardly tucked into his pockets, and he looked away, avoiding eye contact with Obito, seemingly embarrassed.
"Obito, I'm sorry."
Nohara Rin stood up abruptly.
Her eyebrows furrowed, and she glared at Kakashi with her hands on her hips, puffing out her cheeks: "Kakashi, you went too far! Don't you know what's right or wrong?"
Kakashi pursed his lips and sincerely apologized, "Just now... just now Obito put too much pressure on me, and I didn't control my strength and used my full power. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"
Korin wouldn't listen to any explanation and retorted angrily, "You still dare to talk back! What do you mean 'Obito put a lot of pressure on you'? Do you think I don't know Obito's level? You're just bullying Obito!"
Upon hearing this, Obito's smile froze instantly: "Eh?!"
He was speechless for a moment.
It turns out that Obito was secretly pleased that Rin had stood up for him, but he never expected to be hit by Rin's sudden attack.
What do you mean by "Don't I know what level Obito is at?"
Did Lin really think he was so easily defeated?!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
In a fit of rage, Obito abandoned his pretense of injury, leaped to his feet, and shouted, "Kakashi, let's have another match! I was just careless earlier, but this time I'll make you pay!"
"Hey!"
Kakashi was startled. Seeing Obito's face flushed red as he shouted that he wanted to fight again, he quickly made a gesture of surrender with his hands and took a step back: "Forget it! Obito, I dare not fight you again!"
"you--!"
Obito was quite angry with him and wanted to say something more, but then his shoulder suddenly felt heavy.
It turned out that Rin had hurriedly reached out and pressed him down, her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she scolded, "Obito, save your breath! You're already so badly injured, why are you still acting tough!"
Obito felt as if he had been doused with cold water, and he was on the verge of tears.
why!
Why don't you believe in his abilities?
Nohara Rin, oblivious to the change in his expression, was still furious and kept nagging Kakashi: "Kakashi, really! Even though Obito always seems to be against you, he was really worried about you when you were in a bad mood recently! How could you kick him like that!"
"I……"
Kakashi moved his lips, but didn't know what to say.
……
In the audience, Kakashi Hatake quietly watched the scene on the screen where Obito, Rin, and his younger self were bickering.
His single eye widened slightly as he became lost in memories of the past.
At that time, he, Obito, and Rin carried out missions and trained together.
Kakashi couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a complex smile tinged with nostalgia.
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
"Looking at it this way, Obito doesn't seem to have changed much!"
However, thinking of this, Kakashi's expression darkened again.
If Obito is still alive, then where is he now?
Since he didn't die, why didn't he return to Konoha?
……
After young Kakashi solemnly apologized to Rin and Obito, the conflict among them subsided.
Obito rubbed his cheek and stood up with Rin by his side.
Kakashi spoke first: "Obito, I'm really sorry. It was my fault this time. Next time—uh, if there is a next time, I will definitely be more careful."
Obito curled his lip: "Hmph, good to know..."
Seeing the two reconcile, Lin smiled with relief.
Kakashi nodded, then changed the subject, "By the way, Obito, and Rin, you don't need to worry about me. That incident... is over."
Obito was taken aback: "It's over?"
He looked Kakashi up and down. The boy's handsome face was still shrouded in a faint shadow, but between his brows, there seemed to be less melancholy and more relief.
Obito was secretly puzzled.
Based on the timeline, this should be the period around when Kakashi's father, the White Fang of Konoha, was humiliated and committed suicide.
At this moment, Kakashi should have been going through a period of low spirits and suffering from rumors, but look at his expression now...
Is there some difference in the situation?
Nohara Rin, standing nearby, stared wide-eyed in surprise: "Kakashi, you said it's all in the past? What happened? You were so sullen the other day, all those nasty things people said in the village... have they all been resolved?"
Kakashi smiled slightly, his eyes becoming much more resolute: "Yes, that's right. Everything has been resolved. Rin, thank you for your concern. But... if I had to say, I have to thank a close friend."
"A close friend?" Obito and Rin were both stunned.
Kakashi solemnly replied, "Yes. He once told me, 'In the ninja world, those who break the rules are called trash, but those who don't cherish their comrades are even worse than trash!'"
“My father and I both think… he’s absolutely right.”
Obito was stunned, his mind reeling.
How could this be?!
The young Kakashi of today could never possibly know this!
The only person who knows this line is the real-life Kakashi.
