New Life and Passing Away
The cause of everything can be traced back to an earlier time - Uchiha Yū and her only remaining blood relative in this world, who she regarded as life, her sister Uchiha Satsuki, had a complete and no-room break.
Yuzu can still clearly recall Satsuki's cold black eyes burning with anger and determination, as well as those words that cut off all sisterhood and future possibilities.
"If--you dare to appear in front of me again..."
"... I will definitely kill you immediately."
For people with the blood of Uchiha, strong emotions need sustenance - maybe a lofty ideal, maybe a burning ambition, or maybe a very important person.
And in Uchiha Yū's heart, the first one is undoubtedly her sister Satsuki, whom she devotes all her efforts to protecting.
For a Uchiha, when the person who has devoted all his passionate emotions is not only completely far away, but also turns into an undying hatred for himself, and can never be restored... This is tantamount to the complete collapse of the spiritual world, and is the most fatal blow to Clan of Love.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Shisui had not been by her side at that time, forcibly supporting her shaky consciousness, Uchiha Yū might have completely lost the will to survive in the great despair of being completely denied and abandoned by her loved ones, and her soul had collapsed.
It was on the verge of collapse, in order to grasp the last straw and prevent her heart from being completely swallowed up by nothingness and pain, Uchiha Yū made an instinctive choice - she transferred the intense emotions that had no place to place and were about to burn herself, to Shisui, the only person who was still by her side at the time and whom she had grown up with since childhood.
At the same time, there is still a faint hope that refuses to give up in the despair. What should I do to make Satsuki change his mind? To restore the seemingly severed relationship?
Amidst the dark emotions mixed with the pain of abandonment, the torment of self-doubt, and the persistent desire for "recovery," a "reasonable" idea took shape in her heart.
If... if Uchiha Clan can revive and become Ninja World's number one ninja again, will things turn around? Is it possible for Satsuki to... recognize the value of her sister?
And this heavy goal of "reviving Uchiha" was naturally connected with the Shisui around her in her fragile and paranoid cognition at the time.
So, on that emotional night, Uchiha Yū begged Shisui in a humble and desperate cry, like a drowning person grabbing onto driftwood. She said she didn't know how to live, and she said she needed to grab something to prove that she still had the meaning of existence. She talked incoherently about her guilt and desire to redeem her sister, as well as her vague delusion of "reviving Uchiha"... In the end, all her words and emotions merged into a clear and straightforward request that meant self-sacrifice and emotional transfer - a request to have that kind of relationship.
Shisui Faced with such a pomelo, his mood was extremely complicated.
His feelings for Yu are particularly complex. They were childhood playmates and shared similar ideals and worries. He watched her go from being a sister who took care of her younger sister to gradually embarking on a radical path, which ultimately disappointed him... But the Bonds memory of growing up together never really disappeared.
Even if it is not pure love, it also contains concerns, regrets, responsibilities, and old friendships that cannot be completely let go.
He couldn't bear to see You like an empty shell that had lost its soul, wandering in the shadow of despair.
He couldn't bear Yuzu's humble and self-destructive attitude to "ask" for such a thing.
Perhaps... there is also part of the reason why he is still a young man after all, and was unable to completely control it when faced with such a fierce and complex emotional impact, as well as that plea that was mixed with vulnerability and temptation.
Under the influence of multiple emotions and impulses, the boundaries are broken.
But--
Shisui was suddenly pulled away from the memories, and his fingers tightened unconsciously.
Actually... so fast?!
He quickly calculated the time in his mind. From that chaotic night to now, medical Ninja said it was about a month... the time was almost perfect!
Could it be... that it happened for the first time?!
"Fourth Hokage, quickly stay away from Jinchuriki. Otherwise, this child's lifespan will only be one minute."
"Don't you care whether this kid lives or lives?"
"Okay, come out quickly, Kurama."
"Uzumaki Clan, it's really amazing. If Tailed Beast is pulled away, won't he lose his life immediately?"
Finally, there were those malicious words that made Lin's blood freeze.
"You were Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, let this guy kill you."
"Bang--!!!"
Along with the heavy impact sound, in the picture, the huge Kurama claws, under the control of the masked man, slapped Kushina's body hard!
"No...!"
Nohara Rin let out a short exclamation, as if her throat was being strangled, and finally she could no longer bear this cruel reality that was far beyond her imagination.
As if she had been burned, she suddenly let go of her hands, letting the mirror reflecting sin and pain roll to the ground with a clang, and the light and shadow instantly dissipated.
A pain that was more intense and deeper than when she died gripped her heart so hard that she couldn't breathe.
The development of things was thousands of times worse than her worst expectations!
Obito was not just depraved, not just immersed in the grief of losing her. He completely believed in the "Moon Eye" dream spun by Uchiha Madara, and took this as his belief to embark on the path of doing whatever it takes to achieve his goal.
He wanted to "bring her back" in that illusory world, but because of this he committed an unforgivable sin in the real world.
He gave up the name "Uchiha Obito", put on a mask that symbolized lies and hiding, and walked in the darkness in the name of "Uchiha Madara".
The figure in the mirror, both in terms of the way he acted and the aura he gave off, made her feel extremely strange. He was completely different from the sunny and somewhat clumsy companion in her memory.
Even though she saw Obito scheming, manipulating, and even killing many innocent people for the plan, Lin still had a faint hope deep in her heart. She prayed and looked forward to seeing Obito wake up at a certain moment in the next frame of the mirror, struggling to climb out of the dark quagmire, and transform back into the Obito she was familiar with.
But he didn't.
The timeline in the mirror advanced inexorably, until the scene I just witnessed with my own eyes, where Obito personally participated in the death of the master's wife Kushina Uzumaki, completely shattered her last hope.
Lin didn't dare to watch anymore. She was afraid that she would see more scenes that would be even more unbearable for her...
She staggered back a small step, her body trembling slightly uncontrollably, and she raised one hand unconsciously, covering her mouth tightly. The hot tears escaped from the control of her will, silently and violently sliding across her cheeks and dripping on the Pure Land grass.
The tears this time are no longer just for the fall of Obito, but also for those who were hurt and lost their lives because of him, tears full of powerlessness and grief.
Then, in reality, or Pure Land's reality, she raised her tear-filled eyes and looked at the "big Obito" who was standing a few steps away, his face as pale as paper, his eyes filled with great fear, regret and desire to escape.
Lin did not pick up the mirror that revealed everything, nor did she look at the possibly more terrifying aftermath. She just tried her best and walked step by step in front of the stiff Obito.
Her voice was hoarse due to the huge emotional impact and was almost out of tune.
"Obito... you..." She took a breath, every word seemed to be of great importance, "... after that... how much more did you do?"
Obito Looking at the tears on Lin's face and the bottomless sadness in her eyes, she felt like every inch of her soul was being torn apart.
He almost used Kamui to completely separate himself from this embarrassing scene and escape. But in the end he did not move. He lowered his head deeply and used all his willpower to squeeze out an answer from his teeth intermittently and with difficulty.
"I... I... afterwards... I channeled Kurama... in the center of Konoha..."
"Then... teacher... in order to re-seal Kurama... to protect the village... he... lost his life..."
These words hit Lin hard on her already overwhelmed heart.
"What...?!"
The moment Lin heard this answer, her vision suddenly went dark, and a strong wave of dizziness hit her, making her almost unsteady, her body swayed, and she almost fainted completely.
She didn't know how she stabilized her body, nor how she could still make a sound. She just relied on instinct, and in a tone full of endless pain and self-doubt, she asked the most core question that frightened her and Uchiha Obito the most.
"Obito... You did that kind of thing... is... all because of me? Yes... it's my fault..."
