Chapter 362 Ah Gin, I can't live without Jump!
"So, starting from the second topic, Obito saw all the comments and results?"
"Well----"
Sakura's words were like a spell that froze people in place, and two stone statues suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the ninja world—one was Obito Uchiha, and the other was Kakashi Hatake.
Thinking of the topics and comments that were enough to make them die eight hundred times over, and the public execution-like barrage of comments, the two froze on the spot, feeling a surge of heat rush to their heads. The intense social death made them wish they could dig out a four-bedroom apartment with their toes on the spot and crawl into it immediately.
It's not just the comments and the outcome of the discussion.
Obito Uchiha also listened to every single song they sang during the "Strongest Ninja Diva" competition, including the scenes shown in the VCRs.
I'm dying—I'm dying—
He was already incredibly embarrassed to be the only one watching the comments and VCRs in the Divine Might Space, and now everyone else knew about it—
"So you were hiding and watching secretly by yourself."
"I didn't peek!!"
"Speaking of Kakashi-sensei's last wish—" Naruto couldn't comprehend this conviction of defending the mask as if it were a matter of dignity, and exaggeratedly gestured, "What an incredible obsession that must be! He'd rather have a different face than take off the mask!"
Obito crossed his arms, a "you finally know" look on his face, and continued, "Hmph, now you know, right? That guy is guarding this matter as closely as he is his chastity."
"Sada?" The surrounding ninjas asked in confusion.
Obito felt a pang of guilt and abruptly stopped himself from speaking, breaking out in a cold sweat. He had almost let slip, following the misleading comments, that "Kakashi protects his face under his mask with more effort than he would protect his virginity under his underwear," a statement that could easily be misinterpreted.
Naruto tilted his head, puzzled, and asked, "What are you trying to say?"
Obito coughed lightly, forcibly steer the conversation back on track, "I meant when we were kids, Rin and I really went to great lengths to get rid of his mask."
"Isn't it the same with Sasuke and Sakura?!" Naruto complained loudly, recalling the past. "Twice I went all out, and Kakashi-sensei's mask was still covered by another mask?! That's blatant cheating!" He became more and more agitated as he spoke. "Now it's even more unfair! Even if you take off both masks, you still won't see Kakashi-sensei's true face, I'm telling you!"
Lin's eyes lit up, and with a hint of curiosity and playfulness, she suggested, "We still don't know the true purpose of this ability. Kakashi, how about we give it a try?"
(This timeline did not enter the Infinite Tsukuyomi, so the act of choosing one's wishes takes place before the timeline before the forced random Uchiha Clan massacre.)
"—?" Kakashi drawled, sounding uninterested. "It's just changing your face, like a transformation jutsu, right? I only made this wish because I really didn't have any other options."
"Just try it on~" Lin tried to persuade her, "It'll be good if you take it off and put it on right away."
Kakashi was finding it hard to refuse Rin's request and was clearly wavering.
Later, with Naruto and Obito's encouragement, Kakashi finally...
"All right."
"yeah--!!"
As the first person in several timelines to attempt to remove the mask and "change faces," Kakashi was completely unaware of what was about to happen.
He slowly slipped his fingers inside the mask.
Although the video message in the barrage had already revealed Kakashi's true appearance, witnessing him remove his mask in person still filled everyone present with an indescribable sense of ritual!
Time seemed to stretch on endlessly in Naruto, Obito, and the others' eyes; they were so tense they couldn't help but swallow hard.
Kakashi himself wasn't too bothered, since his face would soon be randomly replaced with another one. It might become Minato, the Second Hokage, or even someone they didn't recognize at all.
With that thought in mind, his movements became less resistant than before.
However, the instant the mask was completely removed from his face, a strong white light not only covered his face under the mask, but also enveloped his entire body in an instant!
"What's going on?!"
"Kakashi-sensei?!"
"Hey! Kakashi!!"
Amidst the terrified screams of the crowd, the blinding light that had engulfed Kakashi gradually faded. And when the light completely dissipated, they were horrified to find that where Kakashi had stood, another white-haired man was now standing.
"Hey, hey—is this some kind of new dessert promotion event? An 'Immersive Sugar Hell Experience Hall'?"
The white-haired man lazily rubbed his eyes, as if he had just woken up from a hangover. However, when he took in the unfamiliar surroundings and the group of menacing ninjas, his usually lifeless, dull eyes suddenly narrowed!
"What the hell?!" After a brief moment of shock, his gaze suddenly locked onto Naruto and Sasuke's faces, as if he had seen something unbelievable. His voice instantly rose eight octaves: "Wait! You blondie and this cool-looking black-haired brat—aren't they the pillars of Jump?! Am I hallucinating from staying up all night reading manga?!"
To be honest, the ninjas of Konoha were even more surprised than he was!
"Kakashi-sensei?!" Naruto pointed in shock at the strangely dressed,颓废-looking white-haired man in front of him, his mind almost blank. "Who are you?! Where did you put Kakashi-sensei?!"
The man with the white, naturally curly hair remained silent for a moment, locked in by countless wary and suspicious gazes.
"Huh? You're being rude by naming someone right off the bat, you bunch of ninja guys. Even if you're Jump's star ninja, you can't treat people like this, can you?"
Naruto tilted his head. "A pillar with flippers?"
Obito Uchiha pressed down on Naruto's shoulder and threw a Kakashi mask out of the Kamui dimension.
"No matter who you are, put this on."
According to the literal meaning of this wish, as long as the mask is worn, Kakashi should be able to return to his original form.
"Haa—"
乙」
The man with naturally curly white hair gripped the onesie vest that Obito Uchiha had thrown at him, his eyes filled with an indescribable disgust.
"Hey, hey—this is underwear, isn't it? And it's something a man has worn."
He abruptly took half a step back, pointed Lake Toya at Uchiha Obito, and uttered a soul-stirring accusation that shook the entire arena: "I never imagined you! Not only are you an extreme war criminal, but you're also a lingerie thief who preyed on your best friend?! Carrying such a souvenir on your person—your level of perversion has already surpassed the common sense of the ninja world!!"
His earth-shattering rant instantly stirred up a huge wave of discussion!
Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Rin, and the other Konoha ninja all turned their gazes to Obito Uchiha in an instant. Their expressions were incredibly complex, a mixture of shock, realization, and disbelief, as if to say, "So those comments in the live chat were true!!"
"You—!!!" Uchiha Obito, utterly bewildered and furious, didn't know how to explain himself. "Stop babbling! Just wear it! What are you arguing about?!"
Those clothes were clearly clothes that Kakashi had thrown into his Kamui a long time ago, using it as a trash can because he was too lazy to wash them!
Damn it!! This bastard! Rin and Naruto are going to think I'm a pervert!!
Even jumping into the Naga River won't cleanse me!
The fact that the identity of the "Strongest Shinobi Songstress" has been kept a secret for so long has unsurprisingly led to discussions about Gintama appearing on the already buzzing comment section.

Gintoki exclaimed in shock, "And who else is talking! Come out here! I promise I won't use Lake Toya to hit you on the head!"

【I have a bold idea, I want to raise a Nine-Tails.】 10+ people liked this and are brewing new comments. Ah Yin saw the next sentence:
[I followed them from junior high to college graduation, and now their kids are old enough to run errands, while Gintoki and his friends are still paying rent —] 10+ people think this is great. His expression went from bewilderment to astonishment, and finally settled into a complex look that mixed shock, grievance, and strong protest.
The ninjas looked at him with pity; he had to pay his rent slowly, how pitiful!
Matt Kai stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "You still have your arms and legs, how did you end up like this?"
When you're in a bad mood, just remember what Gintoki said: "Unlike you young masters, we're doing our best just to stay alive!"
10+ people liked this. 【"A man remains a boy until death, but his wallet remains empty until death—a truth from Gintama."】 10+ people liked this. "Hey! Who gave you permission to use other people's quotes as inspirational sayings?! And what kind of vicious curse is 'a wallet remains empty until death'?!" Gintoki angrily roared at the comments, "At least give me the royalties! I could use them to buy a week's worth of strawberry milk!!"
Obito, eager to switch Kakashi back, yelled at Sakamoto Gintoki, "Ignore what those comments are saying! Put your mask back on right now!!"
Sakamoto Gintoki, with an indignant expression, took three steps back, his hands forming an "X" in front of his chest: "How can the dignity of a samurai be trampled upon! I, Gintoki, would rather starve to death, die of thirst, or jump off Kabukicho than wear this mysteriously obtained 'Blessing of a Close Friend'!" This isn't just perverted; it's mental pollution!
"Oh? Is that so?" Obito Uchiha, already enraged, let a dangerous glint flash in his remaining Sharingan. "Then so be it!"
There's no need for Gintoki to issue any more Bushido declarations.
The next second, the space beside him instantly twisted into a vortex.
"Hey?! Wait! Kidnapping is illegal! The Consumer Association will file a complaint against you—"
'
Before the words were even finished, the world spun around them.
By the time Gintoki realized what was happening, he was already in that cold, lonely Kamui alternate dimension.
Although there is a large amount of Obito Uchiha's stockpiled food in the Kamui dimension, the Kamui dimension is vast, and it is by no means easy to find those things unless one is the master of the Kamui dimension.
Gintoki, who had been so defiant just moments before, froze instantly.
Food and water are bearable, but not Jump —
A few seconds later, his heart-wrenching, utterly shameless wails echoed in the alternate dimension: "Wait! You're a hero! I'll wear it! I'll wear it, okay?! Let me out! A world without Jump is the real hell! Bushido and all that—that stuff is utterly worthless in the face of Jump serialization, you bastard!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another familiar dizzying sensation struck, and Sakata Gintoki, as if spat out by space, staggered back into the encirclement of the Konoha members.
"Hurry up! Put on the mask!" Obito Uchiha crossed his arms, his tone leaving no room for argument.
"Do I really have to wear this?" Gintoki clutched the face-covering bra that had clearly been worn by another man, his face full of reluctance. "It's probably covered in the saliva of the last man! Gintoki, my respiratory system is very delicate; it needs strawberry parfait-scented air to survive!"
"Dai!!" Obito's patience had clearly run out.
Seeing this, Nohara Rin bowed slightly to Gintoki apologetically, "I'm so sorry to have troubled you." She had started the trouble with Naruto earlier, but she never expected it to cause such outrageous consequences. At this moment, she only hoped that this farce would end quickly and that the real Kakashi would return.
"Sigh—you ninjas are even better at ordering people around than Granny Otose." Gintoki sighed heavily, his face bearing a tragic expression as if "the whole world is bullying me, the one with the naturally curly hair."
He slowly found a black strip of cloth that he had somehow obtained, and tied it diagonally on his forehead in a proper manner, pulling it down on the left side to cover his left eye like Kakashi's headband.
Then, in full view of everyone, he actually pulled out a brand new black mask of his own from his pocket and put it on his face with extremely skillful movements, completing a blatant "switcheroo".
Naruto: "Kakashi-sensei?!"
Once he put on this outfit, apart from his unruly, naturally curly white hair, his lazy, half-closed dead fish eyes, and the aura of "it's good to be alive, and it's okay to die" emanating from him, he was exactly like Kakashi Hatake!
"How is it?" Gintoki's only exposed right eye curved into a crescent moon, his tone filled with shameless smugness. "Isn't this cosplay perfect? I'll waive the advertising fee, just give me some dumplings instead—"
As soon as he finished speaking, the blinding white light that had appeared on Kakashi earlier reappeared on his body.
Sakata Gintoki's figure gradually faded away, and Hatake Kakashi, who had disappeared for more than ten minutes, stood firmly in place again with his usual calm expression.
If there's anything different—
Time seemed to freeze when everyone's eyes fell on him.
Naruto stared in disbelief: "Kakashi-sensei—?"
Obito's voice trembled slightly: "K-Kashi?"
