In the game, Uchiha Obito couldn't understand why his two teammates were here, and even more so, why they were his companions in the role he was playing.
They were supposed to work together to uncover the secrets of the Gen organization and find out the truth behind the persecution of the Indra clan.
For Obito, at this moment, there was a feeling that the boundary between reality and illusion had been broken. It was hard to distinguish what was real and what was fake.
From behind the cell door, Obito couldn't help but lean against it, calling out the names of his two companions and carefully observing their condition.
He realized that, whether it was Rin or Kakashi, both were badly injured and their clothes were torn.
Kakashi had bandages on his body and legs, and his face was pale, looking sickly. If he didn't get treatment soon, he might not survive.
When Rin and Kakashi heard Obito's voice in the game, both showed expressions of surprise.
Rin excitedly ran to the cell door, calling out to Obito, while Kakashi weakly looked up. His dull eyes revealed both joy and relief.
It seemed that he was relieved to see that Obito was safe.
Although Obito saw all this and told himself that it was all fake, he couldn't help but clench his fist. His black eyes seemed like they might change, but nothing happened.
He was still just short of it.
However, this reaction made those watching in the real world feel a sense of hope, because it meant that Obito finally had a chance.
Minato realized the truth behind the Third Hokage's words: "The Uchiha clan is a clan of love."
Even when Obito had faced misfortune, suffering constant fear and torment from monsters, looking pitiful and tragic—sometimes even to the point where tears and snot would flow together—it was heart-wrenching for anyone to hear or see.
But even in such a state, Obito's eyes had no reaction. There was no sign of them opening.
Yet now, seeing two of his teammates in danger—even though he knew it was fake—he still reacted, as if his eyes could open at any moment.
This situation left people wondering whether they should criticize him for not caring about himself or for caring too much about others.
However, the possibility of opening his eyes could be a good thing. The next step was to see if they could stimulate him further.
In the game, Obito quickly realized that the Kakashi and Rin he encountered were fake, as they didn't mention anything from the real world.
Instead, they immediately said they were here to investigate the hospital as per an agreement with Obito. The monsters in the hospital found out, and after a series of escapes, they were eventually captured.
The injuries on them were from being chased by the monsters, and Kakashi was severely injured while protecting Rin.
Listening to the two NPC friends explain these things, Obito couldn't help but recall the scenes from when he was attacked, frightened, and tortured by the monsters.
Thinking that his two little friends had experienced the same, his inner anger grew.
Even though he knew they were fake, the way they looked and spoke exactly like the memories he had made it difficult for Obito to calm down.
However, as mentioned earlier, because he knew they were fake, it just didn't feel right. This caused Obito's Sharingan to remain closed.
Obito then communicated with the two NPC friends, and they handed him a pile of documents and information. These were things they had investigated before Obito's arrival.
It was about the Gen Organization capturing members of the Indra family and other bloodline families and bringing them to this hospital for evil human experiments.
Countless cruel experiments were conducted by the Gen Organization, leading to the deaths of many people. The mad monsters roaming the hospital, killing people everywhere, were not a result of an accident at the hospital. They were actually products of the Gen Organization's evil experiments.
The Gen Organization created a sealing barrier tool that could block all chakra. Anyone who entered the barrier would lose their chakra and become an ordinary person.
These mad monsters were created as biological weapons, with powerful vitality and a cruel, bloodthirsty nature.
Inside the sealed barrier, they possessed immense strength, allowing them to slaughter others without restraint.
However, due to the underground secret lab in the hospital losing control, the mad monsters also went out of control, leading to the massacre in the hospital.
And it was clear that the sealing barrier Obito encountered was a result of this.
This was another new secret revealed and a decisive clue obtained.
According to the two NPC friends, as long as Obito escapes the hospital with the documents and reveals the message, the various countries in the ninja world will launch a devastating attack on the Gen organization, completely destroying this evil group.
Hmm, it's a classic case of individual heroism, very idealistic. From a realistic perspective, it's too naïve.
But this is a game, so we don't need to worry too much about the details. Anyway, the atmosphere in the game makes it seem like everything will be better once Obito escapes with the documents.
Obito thinks this way too. He wants to escape with his two NPC friends, even though both of them insist that Obito should escape alone.
But Obito insists on staying to take them both along, which is, of course, a classic flag-setting moment.
In this part, Uchiha Kai leaves the player with the freedom to choose. Players can choose to escape alone or save others. Different choices lead to different endings.
Of course, only the path where you save others will lead to the true ending. Escaping alone triggers a false ending.
However, since Obito chose to save the others, he won't see the false ending. That's for other players to uncover after the game releases.
Next, Obito, risking being caught by monsters, searches for the prison key and finally rescues the two of them. Then, he runs away with them.
But this approach, moving with two injured teammates in a horror story, is a classic way to die. The plot changes drastically right after this.
Although the three of them worked together to use traps and defeat one of the four insane monsters wielding steel claws, they were then attacked by a fat monster.
When the wooden floor collapsed under the weight of the monster, they all fell down, scattering.
After this, Obito starts a mission to find his separated teammates and is the first to find Kakashi, who is badly injured and unable to get up.
Although he didn't find Rin, despite showing a face of disgust and complaining, and looking like he didn't want to, Obito still helps Kakashi up and carries him away.
