Sasuke best friend (continue)

Part 250

"Rin, Rin was my only light and hope. After I lost Rin... The world as I saw it, changed. It became a pitch-black hell. There's no hope in this world. I took Madara's identity and walked the world. But all it did was confirm my belief. Even with my Sharingan, I couldn't see anything... There was nothing to see," Obito said

"I don't know anything for sure either..." Kakashi said

"Then... my new path is-!" Obito said

"Without a doubt, your path is just one of many. And it may not actually be wrong either. I've thought this world was hell too. I thought that you had died... And right after that, I lost Rin... And I lost Minato Sensei as well. But... Even though I don't know anything for sure... I tried my best to see the world with this eye. I felt that as long as I had your Sharingan and words. I could see it. And what you saw is Naruto?" Kakashi said

"How can you be sure his path won't fail?" Obito said as Kakashi stood up.

"No... He may very well fail too. Of course." Kakashi said

"How is Naruto different from me? Why do you go so far for him?" Obito said

"Because I can say without hesitation that he is less likely to fail than the current you," Kakashi said

"Why is that?!" Obito said

"Because if he trips and stumbles on his path... I'll help him," Kakashi said

"Why would you help him?" Obito said

"He would never give up on his dreams... or on reality. That's the kind of guy he is," Kakashi said

"Found him," Naruto said looking down from the flower.

"And the way he forges ahead draws others towards him. He makes you want to reach out when he's about to stumble. And the greater the support behind you, the closer you can get to your goal. That's the difference," Kakashi said

"Massive Rasen Shuriken! Bigger! We'll go with something even bigger!" Naruto said

"Do you really believe such a thing is possible in this pitch-black hell?" Obito said

"I'm sure you could've seen it too if you had tried. After all, you and I have the same eyes. If comrades that you trust, gather around you... hope can take physical form and become visible. Thats what I believe... Obito," Kakashi said

"Take this! Massive Rasen Shuriken!" Naruto yelled throwing Rasen Shuriken.

"Perhaps," Obito said

"That wood Dragon will absorb your chakra! Your chakra-stealing ninjutsu has now been nullified! In other words, you can't move nor will you be able to extract chakra with your next ninjutsu!" Hashirama said jumping out the way while the attack hit Madara.

"Naruto this way, Lets go," Sai said on his bird

"Thanks, Sai!" Naruto said

"Don't waste any time! Nows our chance to seal him! We won't let Naruto's attack go to waste!" A guy said

"Right," Everyone said

"Without any orders without a single word... Everyone is galvanized into action... Naruto and I'm one of them... Shukaku. I'd like to borrow the power of your Sand to seal Madara," Gaara said

"You mean the Grand Sand Mausoleum?" Shukaku said

"That's right... A giant one too," Gaara said as Shukaku laughed

"I'm not bound to a Jinchuriki anymore. What makes you think I'd listen to you after all this time?" Shukaku said

"I'm not ordering you. I'm asking you. If you refuse, fine. I'll just ask one of the others," Gaara said

"Naruto Uzumaki, huh? Seems you've become friends with that Fox Demon's brat, Gaara..." Shukaku said

"Of you're not going to help let's talk later. I'm going," Gaara said

"That tone you're using ticks me off! As they say, if a fox has seven tricks, a tanuki has eight! And I, the Demon Tanuki, will not lose to a stupid fox! I'm not doing this because you asked! I'm doing this because I want to! Lead the way," Shukaku said

"its this way," Gaara said

"Now then," Shukaku said

"Wait up," Son Goku said

"Huh," Shukaku said

"We'll help too. Don't worry. We're not doing this on a whim. We want to help Naruto," Son Goku said

"I'm grateful," Gaara said bowing

"Sand Shinobi human are you a friend of Naruto too? What wrong? I asked if you are Naruto's friend?" Son Goku said

"Yeah... He's my first friend," Gaara said

"Is that right?" Son Goku said as Garra nodded

"All right, let's hurry," Gaara said

"Sage Art: Gracious Deity Gates!" Hashirama said having these gates land on him. Obito started to cough.

"Having the Tailed Beasts extracted from him means that Obito, Kakashi the Tailed Beast inside me just explained to me... So you don't have to worry," Minato said

"Then... his life is... I was hoping he would atone for all his past deeds, but... It can't be helped if you can't move. Just stay put. Sensei, please keep an eye on Obito," Kakashi said walking away

"All right," Minato said but Obito clapped his hands together like Nagato did to bring all those people back.

"What are you trying to do?" Minato said

"The same thing the man I once tried to use... did to betray me," Obito said

"No way..." Kakashi said

"I never imagined I'd end up doing the same thing... It's the Gedo... Art of Rinne Rebirth." Obito said

"But that jutsu will result in your...!" Kakashi said

"I feel like I finally understand why Nagato... betrayed me back then. A string of hearts linked together like prayer beads... That can be a stronger power as well, huh... Nagato and Naruto were both Jiraiya's students. So you could say Jiraiya defeated me. Sensei, He was also your master, the one who groomed you to become the Hokage... And I... was your student. A shinobi who gave up on becoming Hokage... and cut all his ties. I won't have much to say to Rin on the other side," Obito said
