[Talk no Jutsu shatters Obito Uchiha's defenses three times, Villain Points +419!]
At that moment, as Rin's words fell...
The spark of hope that had just ignited in Obito's heart...
Went out. It went out completely!
Naruto was an outsider, but these words had come straight from Rin herself...
The damage to Obito's heart was more than ten times worse than what Naruto had just done!
In an instant.
Buzz! Obito's whole body convulsed violently. The pain that pierced his heart spread through every part of him. Endless tears streamed from beneath his mask, seemingly mixed with traces of blood.
Then.
Obito sprang to his feet, grabbed Rin's hand where it rested on his mask, and wailed, "No! Rin! Don't marry that bastard Kakashi! Please, no!"
As Obito spoke, tears poured down his face, quickly forming a puddle on the ground. It was plain to see that he had completely fallen apart.
Rin suppressed her amusement and pretended to be confused. "Why not? Why can't I marry Kakashi?!"
At that point, Obito no longer cared about the Eye of the Moon Plan or becoming a second Sage of Six Paths...
The next moment, Obito didn't hesitate for a second.
Whoosh!
He ripped off his mask, revealing his slightly distorted face. A trace of pain lingered in his eyes as he shouted, "Because I'm not someone else! I'm Obito! I'm still alive, Rin! You can't marry Kakashi!"
"What! You're Obito?! You're not dead!" Rin's eyes immediately narrowed. She put on an utterly astonished expression.
"Yeah! Yeah! I'm not dead, I'm not dead!" Obito nodded frantically. He clutched Rin's hand, almost crazed, and continued, "Rin, I've been plotting to create a new world, plotting to bring you back to life in it. But I don't care about any of that anymore. I just want you here with me, right now!"
A hint of happiness appeared on Rin's face. "Obito, thank you... So you've been doing all this in secret. No wonder I never saw you in the Pure Land."
With that...
Pfft! Rin threw herself into Obito's arms and rested her head gently on his shoulder, as if reminiscing about the past.
Watching from the side, Naruto couldn't help but nod to himself.
Our Shadow Clone really could act! He'd nearly tricked the boss out of his underwear...
Sure enough.
"I... I..." Obito froze. A faint blush even rose on his face, and he stammered, unable to say a word.
Still, Obito forced down his excitement and asked in a small voice, "Rin... are you still going to marry Kakashi?"
"Don't ask... Just hold me," Rin said gently.
At Rin's words, Obito's body jolted. An indescribable happiness seemed to descend from the heavens and flood his heart.
For the first time in decades, Obito felt that everything in the world was truly beautiful.
Obito said nothing. He simply reached out and held Rin tightly in his arms.
At the same time, Obito stole a glance at Rin nestled against him. His pain vanished completely, and all his troubles faded away!
Only then did he understand how happy he was to have Rin back.
It wasn't as if he'd never considered using Nagato's Rinnegan to bring Rin back to life by force. But he had been consumed by fear! He was afraid of all the things that might happen after Rin returned.
And most importantly, he was afraid Rin might still love Kakashi...
But now, it seemed that the person Rin loved might actually be him...
After all, the embrace of the person in his arms couldn't lie!!
At the thought, countless beautiful visions of a future life with Rin appeared in Obito's mind...
He even completely forgot that Rin had just said she wanted to marry Kakashi.
At the same time.
A cold glint flashed in Obito's eyes. He thought to himself, Nagato, it's time to put your Rinnegan to use! Using it to truly bring my Rin back to the world will be the greatest honor of your life!
A little while later.
Obito gently hugged Rin closer and spoke softly. "Rin... Let's go live somewhere quiet together! Wherever you want to go, I'll follow you..."
But before Obito could finish...
Rin, with her head resting on his shoulder, suddenly interrupted him.
Her breath was soft as she leaned close to Obito's ear and whispered gently, "Obito, will you be Kakashi's best man?"
Oh no. This was really bad...
Obito's face stiffened. He opened his mouth mechanically, unable to believe what he'd heard. "Rin... what... did you say?"
Rin slipped out of Obito's arms, clasped her hands behind her back, and looked at him expectantly. "Will you be the best man at my wedding to Kakashi...?"
"Be the best man..."
The words pierced Obito's heart like a sword.
After such intense joy, all that awaited him was endless despair...
The light of hope vanished from Obito's supposedly invincible Mangekyō, leaving behind nothing but a dense, lifeless darkness...
His face twisted in an instant. He dropped to his knees and murmured in despair,
"You want me to be... your best man and Kakashi's..."
"You want me to be... the best man..."
"You want me to..."
Obito's voice echoed around them, filled with unbearable sorrow...
Yet Rin kept smiling brightly at him and continued, "Please, Obito... My future child will call you godfather!"
As soon as she finished speaking...
In an instant.
Buzz!
A powerful ringing filled Obito's ears. Trembling, he tilted his head back and stared at the dazzling sun in the sky.
Then...
Hiss! Endless bloody tears slowly streamed from Obito's eyes. His face was shrouded in the most unbearable pain imaginable. "This place... is hell!"
The moment the words left his mouth...
Thud! Obito fell flat on his back. Blood-red tears kept flowing as he stared blankly at the sun, seeming to have lost every trace of life...
His heart had died completely!
He no longer cared about anything in the world...

Naruto smiled at the sight. Then his eyes lit up, and he delivered another blow. "Forget it! Let Teacher Kakashi spend the rest of his life alone! Rin, you can stay by my side from now on!"
"Mm-hmm." Rin nodded obediently, then threw herself into Naruto's arms.
The two embraced tightly, like a sweet couple, inseparable.
Obito's already lifeless eyes grew even more vacant...
