Chapter 348 Intimate Paradise - Male and Female Protagonists!
"How is that possible? Kurenai-sensei, you must be joking." Sakura chimed in, "Kurenai-sensei—you don't recognize Kakashi-sensei?!" As a medical ninja, she even thought that Kurenai-sensei might have amnesia.
Sasuke reminded her, "She knows Obito Uchiha." So it couldn't be amnesia.
Obito and Rin also looked at Kurenai Yuhi strangely. After all, they were classmates at the Ninja Academy back then. How could they not recognize Kakashi?
However, Kakashi, at the center of the storm, was not as surprised as they were. The moment he heard Kurenai Yuhi's words, "Where did you get that idea?", his bold and absurd conjecture was completely confirmed. A tremendous sense of exhaustion and indescribable disappointment overwhelmed him, to the point that uttering that kind of confession—a "socially fatal confession questioned by others"—seemed insignificant in the face of this heavy realization.
The reason is that the sentence he just said was a line from the movie "Make-Out Paradise"!
Based on Kurenai's general character design, Kakashi found the most suitable female supporting character in *Icha Icha Paradise*. He randomly selected a classic line from the male protagonist's dialogue to her from the text he knew by heart, and sure enough, he saw Kurenai's surprised expression revealing her familiarity with that line—
"Kakashi?!" Kurenai Yuhi from this "Make-Out Paradise timeline" stared wide-eyed at the man before her, asking Sakura Haruno in utter disbelief, "Kakashi? You're saying he's Kakashi?!"
Sakura tilted her head in confusion, completely unable to understand why Kurenai-sensei would react so strongly.
Exhausted, Kakashi had no time to pay attention to Kurenai's confusion. He roughly understood what this so-called "Icha Icha Paradise" timeline was all about. At this moment, he only wanted to make a wish on the Divine Tree barrage wall in the sky, hoping to immediately lead everyone back to the timeline of the Fourth Shinobi World War.
However, just as he was about to speak, the situation escalated again—
He never expected that behind Obito Uchiha, the void would twist without warning, forming a familiar vortex-shaped spatial gate!
"!!!"
This is... Kamui?!
This sudden turn of events left Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno, all bewildered and frozen in place! Several gazes simultaneously focused on the two figures that emerged from Kamui!
One of these two was none other than Uchiha Obito, whom they knew!
The same face, the same scars, the same physique, and even the powerful aura emanating from them were exactly the same as Obito, the boss of the Fourth Shinobi World War!
And the other person—
Her appearance seemed to freeze time. Except for Kakashi, who had seen her before, all the members of Minato's team and Kakashi's team were petrified and stunned!
Even Sasuke Uchiha was not spared!
It can be said to be comparable to the power of Madara Uchiha's "Infinite Tsukuyomi" —
The woman was slender and tall, with fair skin and a supple figure. Her long, flowing silver hair cascaded down her back like moonlight, and her side-swept bangs, like Sasuke's in the Boruto timeline, obscured one eye. Naruto and the others couldn't see her true face because she wore a dark mask identical to Kakashi's, completely sealing her away in mystery.
She stood there quietly, appearing unassuming and inconspicuous next to the powerful Obito Uchiha.
Despite wearing completely different clothes, the woman behind Obito in the *Icha Icha Paradise* timeline exuded an aura identical to that of Kakashi Hatake—
That kind of languid yet sharp, casual yet reliable quality.
Sasuke even subconsciously activated his Sharingan, the tomoe spinning rapidly in his crimson pupils, allowing him to see the chakra flowing inside the human body through the skin and muscles.
Although there was a clear difference in their physical appearance, Sasuke was certain that the chakra flowing through that woman was exactly the same as Kakashi's!
"Obito?! Kakashi?!!"
Kurenai Yuhi was once again astonished. She called out the names of the man and woman, simultaneously delivering the final death sentence to Obito Uchiha in the Fourth Shinobi World War timeline—
He suddenly remembered that during the previous discussion about who Obito Uchiha was working for in implementing the Eye of the Moon Plan, the comment section had mentioned that in countless timelines where Kakashi was a woman, he almost always ended up with Kakashi!
Obito was internally screaming for his life!
How could he have imagined that one day he would actually come to such a terrifying world?!
Kakashi is a woman — Kakashi is a woman — Kakashi is a woman —
This is terrifying! He never even dared to imagine a world like this!!
Naruto, too, stared intently at Kakashi in the "Make-Out Paradise" timeline, like an abstract painting screaming, and loudly questioned, "Is this Kakashi-sensei a woman?!"
"This is Kakashi-sensei?" Obito's gaze shifted from Naruto to the male Kakashi in Icha Icha Paradise. "You really are Kakashi too? And you're a guy? That gives me goosebumps—"
Kakashi remained unmoved during the fourth battle, but Obito got angry first!
Timeline of "Intimate Paradise"
Obito, a native of this timeline, appears with a female version of Kakashi. After looking Kakashi up and down from the perspective of the male Kakashi from the "Fourth Shinobi World War timeline," he blurts out, "You really are Kakashi too? And you're a man? Just imagining it gives me goosebumps."
These words acted as a fuse to ignite a conflict, directly enraging Obito in the Fourth Shinobi World War timeline!
Why does his Kakashi deserve to be looked down upon by his counterparts from other worlds?!
"Shut up!" Obito, in his Fourth Shinobi World War, stepped forward, his rage burning in his eyes like the patterns of his Mangekyou Sharingan. "I don't want to hear any comments about Kakashi from your disgusting mouth!" His gaze swept over the female version of Kakashi behind Obito in Icha Icha Paradise, his disgust intensifying. "And stay away from that Kakashi next to you! You disgusting, promiscuous bastard!"
"You're two-timing! No, you're three-timing!"
Just from what he knew, there was a Mei Terumi, a Yugao Uzuki, and a Kurenai Yuhi!
Having watched online flame wars for over a month, Obito had picked up some basic skills. His insults were precise, ruthless, and sarcastic: "The existence of an imposter like you really gives me goosebumps! You're like a public toilet come to life! A reincarnated shared bicycle! A long-distance bus that has stopped running!! How did this timeline create such an incomprehensible thing as you?!"
Obito didn't know what shared bikes and long-distance buses meant, but that didn't stop him from guessing their meaning from the comments and using them to insult the other Obito Uchiha in the "Make-Out Paradise" timeline.
In the "Make-Out Paradise" timeline, Obito and the Fourth Shinobi Uchiha already had a "two tigers cannot share one mountain" dynamic. Now, being humiliated by being called a "public toilet turned into a spirit" prompted him to immediately retort, "I was being sincere! You, a penniless loser, have no right to judge me!"
"Sincere?" Obito asked sarcastically in the Fourth Shinobi World War. "Is your sincerity really cheap, or do you have several hearts?"
So many that they can grow indefinitely like a tumor? Then Ban should really learn from you; at least he wouldn't die even if his heart was ripped out once or twice!
Obito Uchiha from the Fourth Shinobi World War, who was somewhat possessed by Tobi's personality, spoke in a way that was incredibly infuriating. Obito Uchiha from the Icha Icha Paradise timeline was so angry that his face turned blue and purple.
Uchiha Tobi said in his unique, sweet yet annoying tone, "Oh dear~ Why are you angry? Did I hit a nerve and you're furious? Hehehe~" This tone was practically maxed out in his sarcasm skills, and Obito from Icha Icha Paradise was so angry that his chest heaved violently and his face turned ashen.
Meanwhile, Madara Uchiha, who was watching the battle from another world, was leisurely floating in mid-air studying the barrage of bullets in the sky when he suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.
Izuna: "Brother has a cold?" It seems a bit chilly.
Ban shook his head, frowned, and muttered, "Why does it feel like someone's insulting me?"
"I wonder when those guys will be back." Although less than half an hour had passed, the impatient Madara Uchiha was already fed up. He also agreed with Obito Uchiha's idea: since they liked that "Make-Out Paradise" so much, why not just kidnap the author and watch him write it?!
Little did he know that in the Icha Icha Paradise timeline that Obito, Kakashi, and the others had visited, a fierce battle was brewing!
Make-Out Paradise Timeline: "Obito!"
"Obito————"
The two Kakashis, one male and one female, spoke up almost simultaneously, their tone full of helplessness and dissuasion, but they ultimately failed to stop the two Uchiha Obitos who were like powder kegs ready to explode at any moment.
Two figures collided violently in Konoha's training ground!
These are the three wooden stakes that once bound countless underdogs.
They sparred with each other using physical skills, and as if by unspoken agreement, neither of them used their divine power.
The two, whose fighting spirit was identical, had exchanged more than a dozen blows in just a few dozen seconds. Their movements weren't particularly flashy, but they were clean and efficient. Neither would yield an inch, and every move was imbued with an unyielding stubbornness!
In the Fourth Shinobi World War, Obito's moves were fierce. He used one arm to trap the fist that Obito from Icha Icha Paradise was attacking, while his other elbow attempted to strike Obito's chest!
Obito, from Icha Icha Paradise, was also prepared. Their elbows collided with a dull thud! Clearly, neither of them held back; just from the sound, you could tell it was a hard impact. The two grimaced as they strained against each other—
During a break in the fight, the two exchanged barbs: "With your weak taijutsu, you dare call yourself Uchiha Obito? Did you use all your 'heart' to raise fish? You didn't have a single bit of strength left?"
"What do you know? Judging by your appearance, your first kiss is probably still with you, right? Hurry up and apologize obediently, and I'll use my Sharingan to teach you some experience, how about that?"
They delivered sarcastic remarks with forced smiles, each word aimed straight at the other's Achilles' heel.
The female version of Kakashi quietly observed the chaotic fight between the two Obitos for a moment, then turned her gaze towards Kakashi and his group. When her gaze fell on Nohara Rin, a clear look of surprise flashed in her eyes, which were remarkably similar to Kakashi's.
Instead of joining the battle, she walked steadily toward where Kakashi was in the Fourth Shinobi World War. Unlike the impulsive and belligerent Obito of this timeline, she appeared unusually calm, quickly determining that these visitors who had suddenly intruded into their world meant no harm. In her view, it was better to ask questions openly and honestly than to start a fight without any clear explanation.
"It's so good to see you again, Lin."
The female version of Kakashi spoke first, her voice gentle, sincere, and full of emotion.
She paused slightly, her tone tinged with a complex apology, "I'm sorry, Obito and I—" Clearly, these words were spoken to Nohara Rin in their timeline.
However, the female version of Kakashi's words quietly stopped here, leaving an open question that invites speculation.
Those present who were unaware of the situation naturally assumed that she, like the male version of Kakashi, felt guilty for failing to protect Rin.
Lin gently shook her head, offering a comforting reassurance: "If I could see you happy in this world, I would be genuinely happy for you too."
This statement is also a double entendre, referring to the happiness of each individual being beautiful, or the happiness of two people becoming one. That's for the listener to decide for themselves.
Despite saying that, Lin pursed her lips slightly.
She knew in her heart that the rules governing this world were completely different from those of their world.
Even though their core personalities are similar, as some comments on the Divine Tree's comment section have pointed out, the core of each story ultimately revolves around its "protagonist." This leads to the fact that even though they cannot accept that Obito in this world is a womanizing playboy with "three wives and four concubines," they have no intention of interfering with or criticizing this world—the choice of Uchiha Obito in the "Make-Out Paradise" timeline.
"Can you tell me about your story?" the female Kakashi asked softly, her gaze shifting between Kakashi and Rin.
Kakashi sighed almost imperceptibly and explained, "We come from the timeline where the Fourth Shinobi World War is taking place. Due to some special circumstances, Rin and many ninjas were resurrected, and we—" He paused, too embarrassed to say that we came to their world because of his own wishes, and instead vaguely said, "Due to some twists of fate, we came to your world." He then changed the subject, telling his female counterpart, "But don't worry, we won't stay here long; we'll be leaving soon."
"?" Naruto interrupted, looking puzzled. "Kakashi-sensei, didn't you want to meet the male and female leads of 'Make-Out Paradise'?"
Sakura chimed in, "Besides, we don't even know where they are right now. Maybe we need to stay a little longer and find out more?"
Sasuke and Rin Nohara, who were standing nearby, seemed to have vaguely grasped something key, but the feeling was elusive and difficult to express clearly in words.
"No need." Kakashi's voice was soft, but it carried a sense of weariness that came after everything had settled down.
"?!" Naruto panicked, thinking Kakashi was giving up because he was upset about Obito being a serial NTR philanderer in this world. "When we leave Konoha, we can ask around in places like Tanabata Street! Based on the plot of the Pervert Sage's Scroll, it shouldn't be hard to deduce where they are, right?! Don't give up on your dreams so easily!!"
"That's precisely why I said it's unnecessary, since we've already deduced it." Kakashi of the Fourth Shinobi World War sighed deeply. At this moment, he couldn't even maintain a formal smile, and his exposed eye was filled with complex emotions. "The male and female protagonists—I've already met them."
"?!?"
You've seen it?!
Weren't they always acting together? When exactly did they meet?
Naruto felt like his little brain was about to be confused by Kakashi-sensei. "When did we meet?!"
"How come I didn't know?" After all, they were the male and female protagonists in the novel by the lecherous immortal, so he was actually a little curious.
However, Sasuke, Sakura, and Rin, combining the situation with their deductions and judging from Kakashi's exhausted expression, guessed the answer—
Unlike "Make-Out Paradise," the male and female protagonists of the so-called "Make-Out Paradise timeline" may actually be among the people they meet.
