Looking at Obito's utterly hopeless expression and the system panel that had appeared before his eyes once again, Uzumaki Naruto nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself, The value of our Kamui Tears really is immense...

Just by using Talk-no-Jutsu, he had easily harvested thousands of Villain Points from him!

This was even more than what he had gained from wiping out the entire Root organization last time...

Besides, Talk-no-Jutsu truly lived up to its reputation as the strongest technique; it was simply perfect for farming points...

Just as Naruto was deep in thought, Obito, who was lying on the ground, unexpectedly spoke up to him.

With eyes flickering with extreme agony, he parted his trembling lips and spoke with great difficulty: "Naruto... I killed your parents during the Nine-Tails Incident. Kill me. Let me atone for your parents' deaths!"

"Huh?!" Naruto was taken aback. Was Obito actually begging for death?!

But after a moment of reflection, Naruto instantly understood...

Having been so cruelly hurt by the Rin his shadow clone was portraying, Obito likely believed that death was the only release, the only way to escape this hellish world.

Unfortunately, Naruto would never let him have his way.

He wanted to die so easily? Not a chance! How could those souls who died tragically at Obito's hands ever be content with that?!

At the very least, he had to squeeze every last drop of value out of him before letting him die in endless, agonizing torment!

And for Obito, there was no torture more painful than having the Rin-disguised clone provoke him!

Thinking of this, Naruto acted decisively and began to put on an act again. With a cheeky expression, he said to Rin, "Senior Rin! What did you think of Senior Obito back then?"

"That?" Rin rested her chin on her right hand, feigning deep thought, before smiling brightly and saying, "I just thought of him as someone I didn't like, and who was very reckless!"

[Talk-no-Jutsu breaks through Uchiha Obito's mental defenses, Villain Points +99!]

"If you didn't like him, why did you bother with him when he came to find you?" Naruto's eyes glinted with amusement as he asked again.

This time, Rin didn't hesitate at all; she chuckled and responded directly.

"Why wouldn't I tease a dog?"

[Talk-no-Jutsu breaks through Uchiha Obito's mental defenses, Villain Points +99!]

Seeing the system panels popping up continuously, a smile couldn't help but bloom on Naruto's face.

Breaking someone's spirit could yield so much!

Obito was truly a god-sent juicer!

If it were anyone else, it would never have this kind of effect!

Following this, Naruto threw out several more questions, and Rin answered them one by one in front of Obito, each time causing him to erupt with Villain Points.

Obito's heart was now as cold as ash, and he could no longer hold back.

He whipped his head to the side, blood-red tears streaming down, and roared at Naruto.

"Hurry! Uzumaki Naruto! Kill me already! I am your sworn enemy, aren't I?!"

"Uh... I don't think I will!" Naruto shook his head with a laugh.

Rin crouched down again, leaned close to Obito, and asked timidly, "Obito... do you want to die that much? You don't have to be Kakashi's best man anymore; you can just be Naruto's..."

"You..." Veins bulged on Obito's forehead. He wanted to curse, but looking at his beloved who appeared like a celestial being before him, he couldn't bring himself to say the words...

In fact, deep in his bones, there was even a faint, budding urge to agree to Rin's request...

At this moment, Rin placed her soft, fair hand gently on Obito's forehead, her delicate voice laced with a hint of pleading: "Obito, can you bark like a dog for me? I really want to hear you do it, please..."

"..." Obito fell silent immediately, his gaze darting away.

Seeing this, Rin instantly forced out a few crystalline tears and sobbed, "Wuwuwu... Obito, do you hate me now? You won't even grant me this trivial request."

Hearing this, the heart that had long since turned to ash suddenly rippled.

Following that, Obito slowly turned his head to gaze at the softly weeping Rin, and a wave of intense self-reproach instantly flooded his heart.

In the end, his obsession with Rin overcame all other emotions...

A look of guilt appeared on his face, and he slowly let out a crisp sound.

"Woof woof..."

The moment the sound left his lips, "Hahaha, look..." Rin stood up, beaming with joy. She pointed a slender finger at Obito and shouted excitedly to Naruto, "That's why I bothered with him! Who doesn't like dogs?!"

"Nice, nice!" Naruto gave a thumbs up, unable to help but sigh in his heart.

My clone, oh my clone, your heart-piercing technique is truly something else!

Wait... isn't the clone just me?

Naruto had just reached this thought.

The very next instant.

"You..." Obito's pupils constricted violently, and a wave of intense shame instantly flooded his entire body.

Obito could no longer endure it; he suddenly raised his right hand.

BOOM! A terrifying surge of Kamui ocular power erupted wildly, coating his hand, and then Obito slammed his palm directly toward his own forehead!

He simply could not bear the torture of Rin's words any longer! He would prove his resolve through death!

Regrettably, the moment his palm was about to make contact with his forehead, it suddenly froze.

Following that.

Hum! Obito felt as if his heart were being gnawed on by ten thousand venomous insects; cold sweat poured down his forehead, causing him to lose all control over his own body.

This was the curse mark Madara had set upon Obito's heart, and it had taken effect!

This curse mark had no other major function; its primary purpose was to prevent Obito from harming himself...

Therefore, at this moment, Obito had been ruthlessly stripped even of the right to choose suicide!

Seeing this, Naruto knew clearly in his heart that Obito could never commit suicide.

Moreover, even if he had truly succeeded, what of it?!

He still had clever tricks up his sleeve, ones that would absolutely ensure Obito tasted the torment of endless agony!

Thinking of this.

Naruto slowly crouched down, a faint smile hanging on the corners of his mouth, and whispered to Obito: "Senior Obito! Even if you die, it doesn't matter; I will use Impure World Reincarnation on you! And I will grant you a clear consciousness, so you can watch Rin and me live a happy and fulfilling life forever!"

Upon hearing this, endless terror instantly surged into those originally deadened pupils. That right hand, which had intended to commit suicide, trembled as it pointed at Naruto, and he screamed in despair.

"Demon... you are a demon... a demon!"

Obito had traversed the ninja world for decades, weathered countless storms, and seen innumerable people, yet he had never encountered anyone like Naruto.

He didn't kill, yet he destroyed the heart!

And even in death, one would still be brought back by Impure World Reincarnation to continue suffering the torment of the soul!

Is this even human? Is this even human?

"A demon?" Naruto looked thoughtful, then flashed a brilliant smile at Obito and corrected him: "Senior Obito, I am no demon; I am merely the future perfect husband of Senior Rin!"

[Talk-no-Jutsu Breakdown of Uchiha Obito! Villain Points +66!]

"You... you are simply a beast devoid of humanity!" Hearing this, Obito's face twisted as he roared with a desperate, furious howl.

And as Obito's voice faded.

Suddenly.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh--

Three figures appeared on the distant horizon, and in an instant, they arrived before Obito.

Seeing this, Naruto offered a slight smile to the person in the lead and waved in greeting.

"Yo! Teacher Kakashi! You've arrived at the perfect time; come and take a look at this former companion of yours!"
