Obito was kind by nature and deeply sentimental. Hearing Uchiha Shisui's words left him with mixed feelings.

Before setting out, he had actually sensed that something was wrong. But the situation in the village had left him feeling powerless. It was called a mission, but more than that, it had been an escape!
