"..."

Kakashi lowered his head and remained silent.

A long time passed.

Obito spoke in a low voice, "Kakashi, kill me. If I can die by your hand, it will be my fate."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi stared at Obito with deadpan eyes. "No, why do I have to make such a painful choice again!"

"Rin Nohara has had Tailed Beast implanted in her body! Once she returns to the village, the Tailed Beast inside her will unleash its power and destroy Konoha! She asked me to kill her, but I couldn't! Who knew that she would emerge while I was gathering my Lightning Cutter— "

Kakashi looked at his right hand, as if he were back in that time, his entire arm covered in red blood.

"Lin bumped into it herself..."

"Stop talking! I said I understand!"

Obito a low shout.

Over the years, he had long since come to understand the truth of what happened back then; otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to go to Mist Village to manipulate the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, and then continue the Bloody Mist Policy.

This caused a complete shortage of Ninja in the village, making it the last of the five great villages.

This was his revenge.

No matter what, he could not forgive Kakashi and himself.

"If I had arrived just one step earlier, perhaps I could have stopped it all..."

Obito's tone was desperate.

Kakashi trembled slightly upon hearing this.

"Were you... there at that time?"

"Yes, I was there. I saw you pierce Rin with my own eyes. If I hadn't killed those Mist Village Ninja, how could you, Kakashi, have been unconscious and rescued unharmed?"

Obito paused for a few seconds before continuing, "It wasn't you who killed Rin, it was this twisted Ninja world. Why do you think I joined Akatsuki?"

"I want to change this Shinobi World! As long as this system of the Shinobi World exists, Rin Nohara will never be able to truly survive in this world!"

"She lives in constant fear! Therefore, I want to create a world where Lin exists and can live peacefully, even if I may not be in her world!"

Obito always believed that Rin liked Kakashi.

After all, Kakashi is so handsome and knows everything, always leading the way, like a bright star.

He was just a loser who made mistakes at everything he did.

Kakashi was greatly shocked upon hearing this.

Although he had felt remorse and contemplated suicide, and had nightmares Tenten, he never imagined such a crazy plan.

Change the Shinobi World system and create a world that is truly suitable for Rin to live in.

"Obito, I didn't know you were carrying so much... But, resurrection... that's impossible, isn't it..."

"Nothing is impossible! You haven't even tried, so why do you say it's impossible? As long as I can collect the Tailed Beast from all the major ninja villages, I can become the legendary Ten-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"By simply activating the Infinite Tsukuyomi, I can immerse everyone in the entire Shinobi World in my imagined dream!"

"Even if it's you! Kakashi, even if it's you, I will give you a beautiful dream, a beautiful dream for a lifetime!"

Obito said with a smile.

It was as if he had already witnessed such a beautiful world.

"A dream? You mean to make everyone fall asleep in the beautiful dream you've created?"

Kakashi's pupils trembled.

The Obito before him seemed vastly different from the Obito he remembered.

The Obito he remembered was always positive and sunny, never having such crazy ideas.

"A dream is just a dream, Obito... You've gone astray... Turn back now, it's not too late, before you make an even bigger mistake..."

"Hahaha! Turn back? There's no turning back now!"

Obito laughed wildly.

Do you know what I did?

When Kakashi heard Obito's manic voice, he felt that there was something bad about him that he was about to say.

Obito: "After Rin Nohara died, I killed all the Kirigakure ninja. Then, I used my Sharingan to control the Fourth Mizukage of Mist Village, thus perpetuating their Bloody Mist Policy!"

"Let their village fall into ruin!"

"That's not all, Kakashi! You know the masked man who caused the Nine-Tails Attack, right? That person is me! I caused the Nine-Tails Attack! Kushina Uzumaki, your teacher's wife, I took advantage of her weakened state during childbirth to release the Nine-Tails from her, destroying Konoha and ultimately causing the death of your teacher, Minato Namikaze!"

"That's right, I did all of these things!"

Obito Uchiha frenzy.

Do you still think I'd turn back?

Kakashi felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

From the very beginning, he felt that the Obito Uchiha in front of him was the Masked Man, because he was the only Akatsuki Organization who had not yet shown his face, but he just couldn't believe it.

Now that Obito himself had said it, he instantly felt dizzy and disoriented.

Is it possible to turn back after doing something like this?

He couldn't judge either, just like when his own father, Hatake Sakumo, committed suicide; he couldn't determine who was right and who was wrong.

"Why aren't you saying anything, Kakashi? You also think I'm beyond saving, right?"

Obito stared at Kakashi with a crazed look in his eyes.

Kakashi swallowed hard, then looked up at Obito seriously. "No, now you come back with me and atone for your sins. If our teacher were still here, he would definitely choose to let you atone."

"Hahaha, Kakashi, you're forgiving me on behalf of your teacher, right?"

Obito laughed wildly.

Kanami, on the other hand, had been silently watching the two of them the whole time.

He wanted to know if the two meeting ahead of time might change the course of events.

However, so far, Kakashi has been suppressed by Obito, which has not changed the Original Plot at all. Just like during the Fourth Great Ninja War, Kakashi was not good at talking.

Kakashi didn't know what to say. He knew he had no right to forgive Obito on behalf of his teacher, nor did he have the right to forgive Obito for the sake of his teacher's wife.

The teacher and his wife so wanted to watch Naruto grow up, but they were killed by their own student!

Naruto needs his own parents. He has lacked parental companionship since childhood, and now, due to the Third Hokage's policies, he still doesn't know who his parents are.

However, Naruto hasn't asked about it much lately, so everyone in Konoha who knows about it has tacitly refrained from bringing it up.

They're all waiting for Naruto to ask them before they'll tell them.

Because this matter has been kept hidden for so long, something that shouldn't have been hidden in the first place, it's as if they've been left to clean up the mess left by Third Hokage of people.

The more Kakashi thought about it, the tighter his fists clenched.

"Kakashi, you killed..."

"Bang!"

Before Obito could finish speaking, Kakashi punched him in the face.

"Do you think I want you to turn back?! They weren't just my teacher and his wife! They were your teacher and his wife too! You're such a terrible person!"
