"What do you mean, what happened?" Totsuka Tadayoshi was completely bewildered.
"We received the video sent from your phone, on it, you clearly.." Kusunoki pulled out his phone and opened a video.
The video playing inside was clearly a video of the white-haired youth shooting the person who was filming.
"Oh, this." Totsuka Tadayoshi remembered as well; it must have been automatically uploaded by his camera.
Later, Kusunoki called, likely to verify the authenticity of the video, but he had just happened to break his phone, which caused the whole misunderstanding.
"That's a close call indeed; it could have been fatal." Totsuka Tadayoshi tilted his head and smiled.
He looked around and suddenly realized someone was missing. "Where is Suoh Mikoto?"
"And what's the deal with those two Swords of Damocles I saw on the street?" At that time, Totsuka Tadayoshi was repairing a phone in the shop. Upon seeing those two swords, especially the red Damocles Sword among them, he immediately realized something was wrong with Suoh Mikoto. He couldn't even bother with the phone and rushed back in a hurry.
"Suoh Mikoto was taken away in handcuffs by the Blue King," Anna replied.
"Huh?" Totsuka Tadayoshi clearly did not understand why such a situation had occurred.
Let's get back to your matter first; Suoh Mikoto has his own considerations," Kusunoki brought the stray topic back on track. "How could someone shoot at you?!
When they saw this video, they were chilled to the bone. Totsuka Tadayoshi was not a combat-oriented person; at such a close distance, it would have been impossible for him to dodge the gunshot, which was why they all believed something had happened to him.
I don't know either." Totsuka Tadayoshi also felt wronged, "I don't even know that person!
Then how did you escape?
You're asking about this because.." Totsuka Tadayoshi's expression faltered for a moment before he turned back to find the person he was looking for. "Yes, it was him.
“He's the one who saved me; otherwise, I really would have been finished.”
He pointed behind him, a white-haired young man was standing there.
Since when has there been someone there? Shit! Kusunoki was horrified.
The white-haired youth appeared to be over 1.8 meters tall. Although he wore a mask, it was clear that he was by no means an ugly man; someone like him should have had a powerful presence no matter where he was.
They had actually overlooked this person just now.
"Sorry, I kept forgetting to ask your name." Totsuka Tadayoshi ran over with an apologetic look. He had first been unsettled by the gunfire, then he encountered those two Damocles' swords; he had been in no mood to ask about the other person, had actually forgotten to ask their name until now.
"It's fine." The white-haired youth shook his head.
“My name is”
Hatake Kakashi.
Kakashi's voice stopped, he turned his head to look back.
On the television behind him, a white-haired masked youth introduced himself with a cold expression.
Right after him was a black-haired boy wearing goggles.
“My name is”
"Uchiha Obito!" Kakashi said the other's lines in his mind.
“Uchiha Obito!”
The others also followed his gaze.
"Eh? Why is this show starting from the first episode again? Didn't it air a while ago? I remember it already had its grand finale," Yata asked curiously.
Because it's very popular. Although most of the leads in this show are newcomers, their looks are all outstanding, the plot is exciting, the ratings are the highest in recent years," Kusunoki explained. "So even though it has reached its finale, other channels are still broadcasting it.
I heard that this drama is going to hold some kind of fan meeting in a while.
Oh!" Yata nodded, then turned her head to see Kakashi suddenly let out an enlightened sound, "You're a fan of this series too, aren't you?
You are very much like the protagonist, Kakashi; you both have white hair and wear a mask, you both have a scar over your eye. If your eye weren't healthy, you would look even more like him.
"Yeah, I'm a fan of this show too," Kakashi said. Although he didn't understand why his own life was being made into a TV series, he had a vague feeling that he would find all the answers here.
“My name is Skarsgard.”
His voice was light and cheerful,
He's a photographer.
In the blink of an eye, he had fabricated a backstory for himself: he was a photographer who had just arrived in the big city, because he couldn't find a place to stay, he was wandering around. After encountering this incident on a rooftop, he had simply lent a hand to Totsuka Tadayoshi.
After finishing the introduction, he pointed at the television.
“Can I watch this here?” Kakashi smiled,
I'm a huge fan of this series; as long as you play this, I'll definitely watch every single episode without missing one.
The members of Hound Dog looked at each other in confusion.
The other party was Totsuka Tadayoshi's lifesaver; never mind just watching a TV series, it wouldn't be a problem even if he asked for an exorbitant price.
Since he only has this little quirk now, it naturally doesn't count as much.
No problem." Kusunoki answered, after a moment of thought, he added, "Since you haven't found a place to stay yet, why not stay with us?
We still have some empty rooms over here.
Although the other party introduced himself as a photographer, his temperament and the abilities he demonstrated were definitely not those of an ordinary person. It would be better to let him stay and observe him more closely.
“That's right, you should stay,” Totsuka Tadayoshi also urged him. “You've saved my life, they say one should repay a life-saving debt with their whole self, but since I'm a man, I can only help you out in other ways!”
"Then I'll have to trouble you all," Kakashi said, naturally understanding the other party's concerns. In any case, he had nothing to hide; on his way here, he had already learned from Totsuka Tadayoshi's words that they were the local big shots of this area. Having come here alone, he happened to need a place like this to stay while he investigated the truth of the matter.
Thinking this, his gaze drifted back to the television.
Inside the Uchiha Mansion, Uchiha Obito touched his left eye. "Strange, why does it keep twitching?"
This sensation was as if the eye was leaping with excitement because of something's arrival.

Obito and Kakashi are the Movie Star and his little fan (?)
Chapter 74
Kakashi sat here quietly and finished watching all the episodes broadcast on television, after the television stopped broadcasting, he found Kusunoki to watch the rest of the series on the computer.
In addition to that, he also searched for information on the computer and found the original Naruto novels and the original Naruto manga.
As well as the second part of the Naruto novel contributed by Yata.
To be honest, after finishing the first part, he probably already knew who this author was, upon seeing the second part, he understood exactly where his two apprentices had gone.
Although it was a relief that his two disciples were safe, the cost was why his business had been made public, Kakashi thought silently.
As expected, during the subsequent search, he saw two active Uchiha names.
One was Uchiha Izuna, the other was Uchiha Obito, an elementary school classmate who should have long since passed away to the world of the dead.
Kakashi naturally had no impression of the name Uchiha Izuna; he had neither heard Senju Hashirama tell stories about having a close friend like Sasuke had, nor was he someone born and raised within the Uchiha Clan.
Judging solely by the name, he should be an Uchiha. As for his appearance, Kakashi glanced at the character image searched on the webpage; he looked quite similar to Sasuke.
Inside the room where the Red King Suoh Mikoto was confined, Mukaku Reiji opened the door and walked in. "Totsuka Tadayoshi is fine."
Suoh Mikoto lay on the single bed with his eyes closed, "I know."
As a King, he could naturally sense the life or death of the clans under his command.
“You can go now.”
“No, I think it's quite nice staying here.” Suoh Mikoto rolled over to face away from Mukaku Reiji, looking as if he intended to sleep here for an eternity.
Mukaku Reiji stared at his back. "Do as you please, I'll send the bill to Hound Dog."
Suoh Mikoto remained silent. Mukaku Reiji stood there for a while longer, once he confirmed that the other party had no further questions, he withdrew and closed the door.
After a while, a blanket was tossed from outside the door onto Suoh Mikoto.
Kakashi, who hadn't slept all night, went out to wash his face.
When will Suoh Mikoto be back?
The voice of a little girl from downstairs reached Kakashi's ears; the owner of this voice should be that little girl in a princess dress named Kushina Anna.
"He will come back when he wants to." Kusunoki replied. As for when he would want to return, it would depend on when Suoh Mikoto provoked Mukaku Reiji.
Is it not good enough that we are here with Anna?" Totsuka Tadayoshi said in a mock-hurt voice, "Are we really not as important to Anna as Mikoto is?
"No, you are all my favorite family!" Kushina Anna replied hurriedly.
"I love Anna the most, too." Totsuka Tadayoshi responded with equal contentment.
What a truly loving group, Kakashi thought, a silent smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"We've found out where they come from!" Yata's loud voice echoed through the shop.
Kakashi changed his direction and walked down the stairs.
Downstairs, they had already begun discussing who to send to investigate, Yata naturally took the initiative, insisting on going.
I'll go with you all, too." Kakashi calmly faced the gazes being cast upon him by the group. "Totsuka and I encountered that person head-on yesterday; if you take me along, I can confirm the opponent's identity much faster.
After all, that person wanted to kill him as well yesterday, he also wanted to know if that person's arrival here had anything to do with him.
This statement did indeed make sense. Kusunoki hesitated for a moment before making the final decision to let Kakashi and Yata go together.
The two walked together along the road. Yata was never a person of few words, since he felt that Kakashi, having saved Totsuka, was definitely a good person, he talked incessantly all the way—from whether yesterday's TV drama was good to whom he had encountered this morning. Kakashi, also constantly nodding in agreement because he was intentionally trying to glean knowledge about this world, gave the impression that they had known each other for a long time.
Passing by a fountain, Kakashi suddenly stopped talking, his gaze fixed on a certain spot.
"What's wrong?" Yata asked.
I feel like someone is watching us.
Kakashi replied, his gaze sharpening as he reached out to intercept a blade flying toward Yata.
“Still so childish, Mi~" a man with delicate features wearing a cyan uniform walked out from behind the fountain.
Kakashi shuddered; he had never heard anyone call someone else's name with such lingering affection.
Then he saw Yata charging forward, shouting something about monkeys and traitors in a fit of rage.
