A person's character isn't formed in a day. It's almost impossible for Obito Uchiha to suddenly realize his mistakes; Naruto had no intention of doing so.

Speaking so extremely, Obito Uchiha, are you trying to whitewash yourself?

Naruto narrowed his eyes, a sudden thought flashing through his mind, and he suddenly grasped a loophole. Before Rin Nohara died, it seemed that the two of them had never explicitly revealed their relationship.

In other words, the romantic relationship between the two was entirely Obito Uchiha. After all, the person was dead, so Rin Nohara couldn't possibly have any objections.

Even if she finds out about this in the Pure Land, is she going to shyly deny it, saying we're just good friends?

He knew exactly what kind of extreme mentality Obito Uchiha, but Naruto was very clear about the mentality of a young girl like Rin Nohara.

Did she ever like Obito Uchiha before? He didn't know, but if you asked whether Rin Nohara still liked the madman Obito in front of her now, the answer was already quite clear.

Looking back, the two never fully expressed their feelings for each other; at most, it was a vague, ambiguous affection. The feelings between young boys and girls are beautiful yet fragile; a single bad impression can destroy all that beauty.

Which way will the swaying scales tip—towards liking, or... never liking?

In this situation, Rin Nohara would definitely not bring up such a thing, nor would she tell the truth. This gave Naruto room to maneuver, letting Obito Uchiha know that Rin Nohara had never liked him.

Will he believe it? That remains to be seen, but he can't be indifferent either. In any case, these are the bargaining chips that Naruto can grasp at this stage.

"Shut up!" Obito Uchiha glared at him.

"Hehe." Naruto ignored him, but didn't dare to provoke him too much. He glanced at Obito Uchiha and a thought suddenly popped into his head.

Black Zetsu, that cunning bastard, probably didn't honestly tell Obito Uchiha the trash he'd said. Was it necessary for me to repeat it again?

He turned to look at Rin Nohara beside him and suddenly asked a question.

Do you like him?

"What?" Rin Nohara was also stunned, turned to look at Naruto, and then immediately realized what he meant. "Why are you asking this at a time like this?"

"Because that newborn loved you, and you died, he wanted to destroy the world. He killed my parents and many innocent people."

Naruto's voice was flat, and he glanced at her with his head slightly turned.

"Now that you know everything, are you moved? Since that guy likes you so much, why don't you tell him that you like Obito Uchiha?"

He asked a question that was completely unrelated to the current situation, but it firmly attracted Obito Uchiha's attention, and his gaze involuntarily fell on Rin Nohara.

Obito could deny that the Rin Impure World Reincarnation was the real Rin, because that Rin was already dead. Even if Naruto threatened him with Rin Nohara, Obito could still refuse to acknowledge it.

After all, Rin Nohara's death is an indisputable fact. The consciousness of Impure World Reincarnation person only remains at the moment before death, and Rin's soul still resides in the Pure Land at this moment.

To Obito Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki didn't seem to intend to use Rin Nohara to threaten him. Instead, he asked such an unrelated question, which caught Obito completely off guard.

Almost instantly, Obito Uchiha realized something. Even if the Impure World Reincarnation Rin wasn't the real Rin, she represented everything about Rin's life.

After death, a person ceases to be conscious, and the soul returns to the Pure Land. Therefore, all emotions, whether liking or hating, are judged by the standard before death.

This also means that the answer given by the Impure World Reincarnation Rin before us also represents the real Rin. In a sense, she is also Rin.

Obito Uchiha stared intently at Rin Nohara, and Naruto was also looking at her. The situation instantly reversed, and Rin Nohara, at the center of the storm, was completely stunned.

"Do you like it?" Naruto asked slowly, but his tone was firm and pressing.

"I," Rin Nohara took another step back. She didn't understand why such a thing would be brought up at this time. "I'm right."

Rin Nohara was still stammering, which annoyed Naruto, so he finally asked her directly.

Do you like Kakashi?

"No, no, no!!" Rin Nohara shook her head frantically, without any hesitation. "Kakashi is actually very kind and a good person, but we're partners!"

Naruto, a veteran of countless battles, immediately sensed that Rin Nohara likely had feelings for Kakashi. Her initial denial stemmed from panic, while her attempts to smooth things over indicated a lack of opportunity.

Back then, Kakashi was similar to Sasuke in his youth, burdened with gloomy thoughts and resentment towards the village. He was single-mindedly focused on training, had no interest in women, and his swordplay was naturally divine.

Women in the Land of Fire generally admire strength, and when Kakashi was young, he was handsome, aloof, and incredibly strong, not to mention having high emotional intelligence. Even Might Guy knew how charming a man like that was.

Kakashi wasn't interested in women, and it was clear that Obito Uchiha was interested in Rin Nohara, so he kept his distance from Rin Nohara.

Therefore, even if Rin Nohara had feelings for him, they would gradually transform from a vague crush into admiration for her comrade. She could deny it without hesitation, knowing Kakashi wouldn't care.

"You don't like Kakashi, so you like him?" Naruto asked again.

"No! That's not how it is!" Rin Nohara waved her hand subconsciously. Perhaps because she had just denied it outright, she felt less burdened.

"So you don't like him?"

"No! It's not that kind of liking."

Rin Nohara was, after all, just a teenage girl, and she was easily confused by Naruto's words. Before she knew it, she blurted out the truth.

"We are teammates who trust each other. How can feelings develop between teammates?"

Alright, goal achieved.

Naruto turned his head, smiled at Obito Uchiha not far away, and said something sarcastic.

"Well? Did you hear me clearly? Do you want me to repeat it for you? You two are just ordinary friends, how could you possibly develop feelings for each other?"

After saying that, he didn't give Rin Nohara a chance to explain. With a wave of his hand, the Impure World Reincarnation ended abruptly.

After going around in circles, Naruto finally revealed his true intentions.

Given that Ino and Hinata's whereabouts were unknown, he didn't dare to immediately Talk no Jutsu against Obito, lest the guy become jealous and go crazy and kill them. He brought Rin Nohara along, not expecting her to use her Talk no Jutsu against Obito.

All that rambling and twisting and turning, all for this moment to deliver a subtle blow.

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha a lump in his throat. He knew perfectly well that Rin Nohara was just Impure World Reincarnation imp, and the things she had just said sounded like Rin Nohara.

But actually revealing the truth feels unsettling. It's an answer I expected, so why does it feel so awkward?

"This has nothing to do with you!" Obito Uchiha coldly at Naruto, sensing the shamelessness of the man opposite him. "What's the point of all this?"

"No, I just think you're not only extreme, but also kind of pathetic." Naruto rubbed the ground with his foot, then looked down and gave a contemptuous smile.

"Rin Nohara is dead, what does that have to do with you? Can't you see that she liked Kakashi more than you? She willingly died at the hands of the person she loved, and she didn't mention you in her last words."

At this point, Naruto suddenly raised his head, his face contorted with rage. His previously cold tone vanished, and he began to Obito Uchiha.

"What the hell are you doing, jumping around like that, trying to feel good about yourself? You stupid dog!"

"Shut up! Shut up!" Obito finally lost his temper, glaring at Naruto through gritted teeth. "How would a brat like you know anything about me? Did Kakashi tell you?"

"Kakashi?" Naruto paused for a moment, realizing that betraying his teacher didn't seem right. "Heh, you don't need to know that."

"What do you know! How could you possibly know! Watching the person you love die in front of you, and being unable to do anything about it!" Obito Uchiha.

"Kakashi! Why did Kakashi do that! Minato-sensei, why didn't Minato-sensei come to save Rin? Why? Tell me!"

"Shut up! You're a real beast! Rin Nohara didn't even complain, so why are you yelling?" Naruto didn't hold Obito either. "What a lame excuse! What are you so angry about? Why don't you hurry up?"

"Look at yourself, what a piece of trash you are, you're a real piece of trash. Rin Nohara died in vain, if it weren't for you, she would have been very lucky."

"She doesn't like you at all. Are you out of your mind? Or are you deaf? Huh? Didn't you hear me? Rin Nohara has absolutely no feelings for you."

"Do you want to get your ears cleaned?"

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha was practically trembling with rage. Individually, Naruto's words were insignificant to him, but when combined, they were incredibly damaging.

"The survivors of this world will all become trash. I know I'm not a good person." Obito Uchiha took a deep breath, Sharingan slowly activated.

"You're a beast," Naruto said calmly.

"You!"

"Hey, I looked through the notes my parents left behind." Naruto told a trivial lie, but it didn't matter; the world needs a few lies.

"They mentioned you, they'll be saddened by your death, but they'll also be proud of you. Tsk tsk, even I, their son who's never met them, am envious."

"And you, Obito Uchiha, is your mind only filled with women? Is it because you can't get over Rin Nohara that you're acting like a mad dog, biting people everywhere?"

"What do you know! Do you think I wanted to do that?" Obito Uchiha stared at Naruto, gritting his teeth as he said, "It's all because of this damned world!"

"This ninja world is a place of endless war! The Five Kage only care about their own interests and don't care about the state of the Shinobi World at all. They're the ones who killed Rin!"

"Wherever there are people, there will be conflict; war will never stop. I just want to sever the cause and effect of all this! To create a new world where there is no war or suffering!"

"So you bite people everywhere?" Naruto frowned.

"Those were just necessary sacrifices!" Obito clenched his fist. "This world, the fighting between people, the system between ninja villages!"

"This situation can never be peaceful. The war will continue, killing more and more people. More people like Lin will die, and I don't want to stand idly by!"

"I just wanted to change all of this, is that wrong? Even if Minato-sensei could know this in the afterlife, he would understand me. I did it for the sake of this world!"

Silence, a silence that lasted for three minutes.

Faced with Talk no Jutsu Obito Uchiha, Naruto didn't rush to refute him. Instead, he stared at him silently for a while. His gaze was cold, and he opened his mouth to speak.

"Create a new world? Ridiculous! Who do you think you are, making a movie? Returning as a king?"

"Obito Uchiha, have you lost your mind? Do you know why you haven't changed this world yet? Because you're too weak, you piece of trash."

"Your ambition is too great, but your ability is too small. If you want peace, you should become someone like Hashirama Senju. You can't do it."

"You can't establish a new order, nor can you understand the truth of the world. You just indulge in self-righteous, impotent rage over and over again. Destroying the world is always easier than modifying it."

"That's just your excuse. You can't create a new world. You just want everyone to die, to die like Rin Nohara. But you're hypocritical, finding a grand-sounding excuse."

"Go to hell with this new world. Did you ask anyone else for their opinion? You ask who wants to die. You can't live without Rin Nohara, yet you make others experience suffering."

"You're a real cerebral palsy orphan, Obito Uchiha. Are you out of your mind? If you can't do it, just say so. Stop fooling yourself. For the sake of the Shinobi World?"

"It's one thing to fool yourself, but don't treat everyone else like idiots. What you're doing right now is disgusting, you piece of trash."

"You're threatening me by threatening me with women? Are you afraid you can't beat me, so you resort to threatening women?"

"You can't even beat me, yet you dream of changing the Shinobi World? You're the worst of the worst, even worse than trash. You relied on tricks eighteen years ago, and you're still the same pathetic coward eighteen years later."

"Obito Uchiha, how could Rin Nohara possibly like a piece of trash like you?"

"Why didn't you arrive sooner to save her back then? You only know how to blame Kakashi, right? Why don't you think about why you weren't the one who died!"

Boom!

Obito Uchiha grew angrier as he listened, his whole body trembling as he gritted his teeth and stared intently at Naruto.

"Stop talking! Stop talking! You're not worthy of Tilin!"

"I'm going to bring it up, what can you do about it?" Naruto's neck veins bulged. "Rin Nohara must have been blind to have a teammate like you!"

"If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have died! Do you know that Uchiha Madara had been targeting you all along, just to use you? Rin Nohara died because of you!"

"You blame others, you blame Kakashi, you blame the world, but why don't you blame yourself!"

Naruto shouted out a few words, Obito Uchiha was instantly dumbfounded. He stared at Naruto, feeling his head throbbing, looking at him with disbelief.

"You... you're talking nonsense!" Obito Uchiha extremely agitated. "You!! I'll make you feel the same pain too!"

"Come on! I can Impure World Reincarnation her once, and I can Impure World Reincarnation her a second and a third time!" Naruto shouted, getting carried away. "You try it if you dare, and the whole Shinobi World will see Rin Nohara's ***!"
