NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1: Rebirth of Kakashi
"Right, I almost forgot..."
"I'm the only one who hasn't given you a gift to celebrate your promotion to Jonin!"
"Kakashi..."
"What should I give you? I've thought about it..."
"And now... I finally know!"
"Don't worry, it's nothing useless or burdensome!"
"I'm going to give you my Sharingan!"
"No matter what the people in the village say, you are an outstanding Jonin. This is my gift to you; please accept it!"
"Rin! Use your medical ninjutsu!"
"Transplant my Sharingan, along with the optic nerve, into Kakashi's left eye!"
"I... am about to die!"
"But I will become your eye, seeing your future!"
"My left eye hurts, what's happening?"
"Aren't I dead? Why do I still have consciousness?"
In a state of unconsciousness, perceiving his body's condition, a soul inside Kakashi was filled with uncertainty and doubt.
Boom!
When that soul tried to open its eyes, a surge of awareness suddenly crashed down on it. The soul was instantly overwhelmed by an influx of consciousness, plunging back into darkness again!
"I didn't die, and I have traveled through time and space, my soul entering Kakashi's body and even taking over it!"
When the soul within Kakashi's body regained consciousness again, it was filled with shock and murmured to itself, not daring to open its eyes, choosing to adapt to the current situation.
"No, it's not taking over; it's merging with Kakashi's soul. I am Kakashi now. The person I was before is dead; the name no longer matters. From now on, I am Hatake Kakashi!"
For an uncertain reason, a modern soul traveled to the Naruto world upon death, merging with Kakashi's soul when he received the Sharingan and became a new Kakashi! Moreover, this Kakashi was familiar with the Naruto storyline!
After organizing the merged memories in his mind, Kakashi finally opened his eyes! The unfamiliar sensation came from his left eye! Due to the transplantation of Uchiha Obito's Sharingan, his left eye's vision was sharper than before, and he could capture everything!
Seeing all this, Kakashi felt both joy and sorrow. His Sharingan was a gift from the dying Uchiha Obito!
Then Kakashi noticed a delicate girl with beautiful star-like eyes wide open, looking at him with worry, her gaze filled with inexplicable emotion.
"Kakashi, are you alright? Does your left eye feel uncomfortable?"
Seeing Kakashi open his eyes, Rin immediately asked with a worried tone, her concern more evident in her voice than in her eyes!
"Indeed, Rin likes Kakashi..."
"No, she likes me!"
Kakashi murmured to himself upon seeing Rin's expression.
"Yes!"
However, Kakashi only responded faintly, then quickly looked at Uchiha Obito lying beside him, his right side entirely crushed by a massive rock! His left eye was closed, blood was oozing from his mouth, and the ground was stained red with Obito's blood!
"Ugh!"
Seeing Obito's tragic state, Kakashi felt a breathless pang of grief and regret! If he hadn't chosen to abandon Rin initially, Obito's death could have been avoided!
Watching Obito's tragic state, Kakashi's eyes gradually turned blood-red, his original Sharingan emitting an even more bloodthirsty aura!
"Obito, wait for me; I'll kill that Iwa-nin outside first and avenge you!"
With a hiss, Kakashi stood up, his tone cold as he spoke to the unconscious Obito, his killing intent directed not at Obito but at the Iwa-nin Jonin outside!
Without waiting for Obito or Rin's response, Kakashi kicked off the ground and shot upwards!
"Lightning Style: Chidori!"
Chirping sounds!
As Kakashi shot upwards, he simultaneously performed hand seals, and a Chidori formed in his right hand, striking the rocks that trapped them!
Boom!
With a loud bang, Kakashi and his team were shattered by the rock layer that covered Kakashi, and the explosion alerted the Iwa-nin Jonin outside!
"Persistent brat, still alive, huh!"
The Iwa-nin Jonin stood up, frowning at Kakashi's cold stare. The Jonin felt no fear of Kakashi's killing intent, only sensing danger from Kakashi's left eye!
"What's going on? This brat seems different from before?"
The Iwa-nin Jonin wondered briefly but dismissed it, thinking Kakashi was just a kid!
"Iwa-nin! Die!"
Kakashi shouted coldly, his body leaping towards the Iwa-nin Jonin!
Clang!
Simultaneously, Kakashi held the White Fang blade left by his father, the blade slashing down toward the Iwa-nin Jonin!
Swish swish!
The blade's swift cut even sliced through the air with a clear sound!
"Hmph!"
Seeing Kakashi's attack, the Iwa-nin Jonin smirked, blocking with his twin short swords, sealing Kakashi's attack path!
Swish!
Clang!
The unmistakable sound of metal clashing rang out as Kakashi's blade struck the Jonin's swords, breaking apart with a clang, causing Kakashi's eyes to widen in shock! He had forgotten about this!
"Haha! Die!"
Seeing Kakashi's broken blade, the Iwa-nin Jonin laughed maniacally, his twin blades thrusting at the falling Kakashi, his bloodthirsty intent undiminished by Kakashi's youth!
"No, you die!"
Kakashi coldly snorted, facing Jonin's attack with no fear. He discarding the broken blade and quickly forming hand seals, his left hand over his right!
"Lightning Style: Chidori!"
Chirping sounds again!
The Chidori's chirping filled the air as lightning formed in Kakashi's right hand. Before it could fully manifest, Kakashi thrust it at the Jonin, his Sharingan spinning at full power! At this moment, the Jonin's twin blades were mere inches from Kakashi!
Would Kakashi's Chidori, like in the original story, land a blow on the Iwa-nin Jonin, striking first despite being a step behind?
