Trees Chapter 280 Wait... Since When Did Obito Have The Protagonist Template?

Kakashi's dead-fish eyes stared at Uzumaki Stark, which showed his speechlessness.

‘Now you’re blaming me?’

‘Who was the one who kept whining and insisting that letting Obito die quickly would be too merciful?’

Kakashi had originally planned to end the fight with a single Raikiri, but instead, he'd followed this brat's lead and spent the last few minutes beating Obito senseless, just to make sure he suffered before death.

‘But now that Obito has run away, this brat is putting the blame on me?!’

‘Since when were Naruto's shadow clone this good at shifting blame?’

"What the hell happened here?"

When Naruto saw this, he rushed forward to ask.

Hearing the familiar voice, Kakashi and Uzumaki Stark turned their heads toward him at the same time.

"Main body?"

"Naruto?"

Kakashi’s gaze lingered on Naruto for a few seconds, then he saw Sasuke and Sakura behind him.

Seeing Team 7 reunited again...

Kakashi just felt his breathing become a little rapid, and there was a suffocating pressure building in his chest.

‘Team 7 gathering like this...’

‘Was not a good sign at all!’

"What about the Terminators?"

"And have you guys seen the Akatsuki?"

Naruto first asked about the thing that concerned him the most, then glanced at the white-haired slacker suspiciously.

Because he found that these two guys appeared in front of him by distorting space, which was obviously Obito's ability...

‘This white-haired bum... Did he steal Obito's account?!’

Uzumaki Stark raised his foot and lightly kicked Kakashi's knee.

"You explain!"

Kakashi rubbed his white hair and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Terminators? You mean those puppets, right?"

He didn't pay much attention to how Naruto called the puppets. After all, he had always had a habit of coming up with weird names for things.

Kakashi raised his hand and pointed at Shino nearby.

"The problem has already taken care of."

"Well, they were taken care of by Aburame... Aburame... Aburame Clan’s Shinobi."

The white-haired bastard couldn't remember Shino's name for a moment and scratched his cheek, feeling a little embarrassed.

When Shino heard this, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

‘Everyone... always forgot my name.’

"It’s Shino!"

"White-haired bum, he has a name, you know..."

"That's a bit rude of you."

Uzumaki Stark stepped forward in time to defend Shino, and also retorted to the white-haired slacker.

Kakashi pursed his lips and said nothing.

At this time, he was so speechless.

‘I just called this guy Aburame Clan’s Shinobi, and you said I was being rude?’

‘Then... what does it mean that you call me white-haired bum?’

‘Besides, I genuinely couldn’t remember Aburame...’

‘Aburame... what was it again?’

When Naruto heard what his shadow clone said, he looked at Shino behind him with wide eyes.

Obviously, he was very surprised that this guy appeared here.

He could’ve sworn he had only seen Kakashi and Uzumaki Stark earlier.

Shino had basically appeared out of nowhere.

"It's nothing, it's all thanks to Uzumaki Stark."

Shino gave Stark a grateful look, then he gently adjusted his sunglasses on his face.

Hearing that the Terminators had been dealt with, Naruto let out a long sigh of relief.

But then he remembered Hidan, and the worry that had just been put at ease was lifted up again.

Honestly...

He, Uzumaki Naruto, is really too tired about being worried of this Shinobi World!

"Hidan..."

"The guy with the scythe."

Worried that Kakashi might not recognize him, Naruto briefly described Hidan’s appearance.

"Did he... summon the so-called Jashin or something?"

Uzumaki Stark's expression froze and he turned to look at Kakashi.

He had heard about Boruto from the main body, but as for Hidan summoning Jashin today...

The white-haired slacker hadn’t mentioned that at all!

"Oh... you mean that guy?"

Kakashi showed his dead-fish eyes and waved his hand lazily.

"Don't worry, because Hoshigaki Kisame used a large-scale Ninjutsu, Hidan’s summoning ritual was interrupted."

"Originally, Obito and Nagato said they would use the so-called Jashin to deal with the puppets."

When Kakashi said this, he supported his chin and his tone became a little serious.

"I don't know what that Jashin is, but I had a bad feeling about it..."

"So I went back to the village and brought these two."

Kakashi pointed in the direction of Uzumaki Stark.

In fact, his reasoning was simple.

Judging from the many disasters that the Shinobi World has encountered over the years...

The problem of the puppet invasion will definitely be solved, but there is a high probability that bigger problems will arise later.

Moreover, since Uzumaki Stark seemed more reliable than a certain yellow-haired guy, he went back to the village and brought these two guys with him.

And as it turned out, he was right...

Even a shadow clone was more dependable than Naruto himself.

And then there was that honest man Kisame...

He felt that he had to have a good talk with Tsunade when he returned, asking her not to bully this honest man for no reason.

After all, he is one of the people who saved the world.

"Well, as long as nothing major happened."

Naruto felt relieved after hearing this.

‘If Hidan hadn’t summoned Jashin, then the Sage of Six Paths probably wouldn’t be involved.’

‘Which means the crisis in the Shinobi World is finally over!’

As the savior chosen by the Sage of Six Paths, Naruto only felt that this trip was very tiring.

‘Sigh... I’m so tired.’

When Uzumaki Stark heard Kakashi mention Obito again, he immediately switched to full-on rant mode.

As soon as his little hand pointed and his mouth opened, a torrent of colorful language was unleashed.

It was almost a replay of the scene where Sasuke angrily scolded Kakashi in the hospital.

It was also the first time that Naruto saw Uzumaki Stark swearing so viciously, so he quickly tried to mediate.

As a result, when he and Sasuke heard that the two had let Obito go, their expressions darkened instantly...

"DID YOU TWO BASTARDS NOT THINK TO CALL FOR BACKUP?!"

"ASK FOR HELP! DO YOU NOT KNOW THE CONCEPT OF A RIGHTEOUS GANG-UP?!"

Naruto clenched his fists and sprayed the two guys in front of him wildly. For a moment, the two guys were sprayed with so much saliva that they couldn't even raise their heads.

"And you! Uzumaki Stark... "

"Do you not realize that monologuing mid-fight, trying to torture your enemy, just gives them a chance to escape?!"

Sasuke, who had been standing to the side and also wanted to yell at Kakashi, froze upon hearing Naruto’s words.

He turned his head and looked at Naruto with a strange expression, hesitated for a moment, and said a few words tentatively, "You mean... like when the villain arrogantly lets the protagonist go..."

"Then the protagonist went back and worked hard, encountered many adventures along the way, and finally succeeded in revenge through his unremitting efforts?"

Naruto: “???”

Uzumaki Stark: “???”

"You know about that trope too?"

Naruto glanced at Sasuke, looking slightly surprised.

Sasuke didn't say anything and fell silent. Meanwhile, Uzumaki Stark’s expression turned strange.

"Main body..."

"Is it possible that what you just said is a situation where the main villain targets the protagonist?"

"Since when is Uchiha Obito the protagonist!?"

"Besides, we are not villains!"

Naruto's face darkened with every rebuttal from Uzumaki Stark.

He hadn’t even realized he’d started thinking from the villain’s point of view just now...

‘It is obvious that I am the righteous savior of the Shinobi World!’
