Desperate Obito

Pain! Such unbearable pain!

Obito felt as if his heart had gone numb, a venom called despair constantly injecting itself into his body, desperate to drag him into the abyss of death...

That Mangekyo Sharingan was also brimming with endless tears.

And within those tears, Obito seemed to catch a glimpse of days long past.

It was the beautiful childhood he and Rin had spent in Konoha.

Back then, Rin was gentle, warm, and incredibly understanding.

Even when he was constantly causing trouble, Rin was always willing to clean up his messes and comfort him; the two of them were inseparable...

They were practically childhood sweethearts...

However, the sudden appearance of Kakashi had changed everything!

Rin's eyes no longer held only him; instead, they held a Kakashi!

Kakashi was clearly so cold and aloof, yet he captivated Rin, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration... no, it was deep, profound love.

Although he had once deceived himself, attributing it all to a curiosity toward a genius, Rin's gaze had reflected the true feelings in her heart...

But thankfully, until the moment he was buried under the boulders, Rin had never truly confessed her love for Kakashi in front of him.

As long as it remained unsaid, it meant that none of it had ever happened!

Therefore, the one Rin loved must be him!

Thinking of this, the images of the past in Obito's eyes gradually morphed into a photograph of him and Rin embracing happily.

In his pupils, the tears seemed to recede slightly due to this beautiful fantasy, and a blissful smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

However, in an instant.

"Let Rin-senpai and Kakashi-sensei get married!" Naruto's words from just a moment ago suddenly pierced into Obito's mind, echoing repeatedly.

In a flash, the phantom of the photograph in Obito's pupils was completely shredded!

A series of brand-new images flooded into his sorrow-stricken Mangekyo Sharingan.

It was the sight of Rin looking at Kakashi with a face full of love!

It was the image of Rin abandoning him to go on a date with Kakashi...

It was the past where Rin would constantly praise how outstanding Kakashi was right in front of him...

But in the end, these images were swallowed by a nameless fire, finally transforming into a picture of...

Rin, wearing a snow-white wedding dress, hand-in-hand with Kakashi, walking into the wedding hall!

At this moment, the pain in Obito's heart surpassed everything he had ever felt before!

Hum! Accompanied by violent tremors throughout his body, the tears in Obito's Mangekyo could no longer be contained, cascading down along with his snot.

At the same time, he let out a murmur of extreme agony: "Why, even though Rin is dead... must you cruelly snatch her away from me? Why..."

Who could have guessed that the man now slumped on the ground, weeping bitterly over unrequited love, would be the mastermind behind the Fourth Great Ninja War.

And the second Sage of Six Paths in the ninja world!

Naruto watched this scene, a flicker of astonishment in his eyes; even he hadn't expected his words to have such a devastating impact on Obito...

However, this was exactly what he wanted!

Thinking of this, Naruto decided to pour more oil on the fire and push Obito's pain into a bottomless abyss!

Naruto immediately walked slowly toward Obito. When he reached his side, Obito still showed no reaction, remaining immersed in his painful sobbing, unable to pull himself out.

Seeing this, a playful glint flashed in Naruto's eyes. He squatted down, moved his head slowly to Obito's ear, and said in a snide tone: "Madara-senpai~ why are you crying! Did my words stir up your memories and make you long for the wedding hall too?!"

Obito didn't speak, only continuing to sob, an aura of agony radiating from him.

A mischievous smile played on Naruto's face as he continued: "It's fine, when Kakashi-sensei and Rin-senpai's wedding happens, you should come too! That way, you can witness the grand spectacle of the marriage with your own eyes..."

Naruto's tone was incredibly sincere, as if he were truly inviting Obito.

And at this instant, Obito could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart!

He jerked his head up, tears of endless pain gushing out. He stared at the azure sky and let out a roar of absolute despair: "Why? Why must you treat me like this!"

[Talk no Jutsu has broken through Uchiha Obito's defenses for the second time, Villain Points +393!]

"Is this the power of Talk no Jutsu? It feels so good!" Naruto looked at the system panel that had appeared once again, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

But at this moment, Obito completely ignored the Naruto beside him, still roaring at the sky.

"Why? Why is this!"

"Why must this world treat me so cruelly!"

The mournful wails echoed through the air.

The ground was covered in the tears Obito had shed.

Seeing this, Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself: It's time to use the finishing move!

Thinking of this, Naruto immediately clapped his hands.

In a split second.

Whoosh—

A Flying Thunder God Kunai on the ground erupted with a dazzling black-gold radiance, and two figures surged out from the light, descending upon the scene.

They were the Shadow Clone that Uzumaki Naruto had just sent away, and a petite girl with a face as gentle as water, marked by purple patterns and faint cracks.

She was none other than Rin Nohara!

Of course, this Rin was not the real Rin; she was merely a transformation of Naruto's Shadow Clone.

But to deceive Obito at this moment, it was more than enough!

Sure enough, the moment Rin appeared, she was reflected directly in Obito's pupils.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

Hum! The tears in Obito's eyes stopped abruptly, and his body ceased its trembling. He stared at the Rin before him with a Mangekyō gaze of pure obsession, as if everything in the world had vanished, leaving only her existence!

Rin... she had truly been brought back by Impure World Reincarnation!

A surge of intense excitement instantly flooded Obito's heart, but it was swallowed up in an instant by endless agony.

Because Rin's appearance meant that Uzumaki Naruto really intended to lead Kakashi and her down the aisle!

Thinking of this, the face beneath Obito's mask twisted, and as his eyes rotated, tears threatened to gush out once more.

However, at this very moment.

The Rin in Obito's eyes began to walk slowly toward him, a look of heartache upon her face.

Obito stood frozen on the spot, at a complete loss.

When Rin reached Obito's side, she slowly raised her small hand and placed it gently upon his mask. Her expression of heartache deepened as she spoke: "Your aura feels so familiar! Why are you so sad? Why does my heart ache so much when I see you in pain?"

"..." Obito did not speak, but a flicker of excitement flashed within his eyes.

Even with his drastic transformation, Rin could still sense his aura!

This was enough to prove his place in her heart!

But the very next moment, Obito shattered once again.

He watched as Rin, still wearing that look of heartache, spoke in the gentlest tone imaginable, uttering words that completely broke him.

"But if you attend my wedding with Kakashi, you will surely be happy!"
