(Note: The White Zetsu attached to Obito was Uzumaki White Zetsu. He was different from an ordinary White Zetsu, and the two should not be confused.)
Obito stood in a pool of blood and slowly raised his head.
The anguish and fury on his face gradually faded into an almost hollow calm.
He heard White Zetsu ask how he was doing.
Obito pressed a hand to his temple. "I'm fine... My head just hurts. I feel awful."
White Zetsu tilted his head and studied him for a moment. His pale face showed little emotion, and he simply nodded.
"Yeah, that's normal. The most important person in your life just died, and you awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan all at once. Of course your head hurts. Pain's good. It means you're still alive."
As he spoke, White Zetsu looked Obito up and down with his narrow eyes, a trace of casual concern in his voice. "So what now? What are you going to do?"
Obito did not answer at once. He slowly closed his eyes.
So it really is this point in time...
Rin is dead. Kakashi is unconscious. White Zetsu is right beside me. Madara is probably waiting.
If I follow the original story, I'll be taken to that cave, listen to Madara's nonsense about how "the world is wrong," and gradually become that bitter man who spends the next ten years with nothing left but hatred.
No.
I'm clearheaded right now. My Mangekyō Sharingan has awakened. My other eye is still in Kakashi's left socket.
Dual Kamui... That's the real trump card. In the original story, I gave Kakashi my eye and was left with only one Kamui. Later, I had to rely on Madara's other arrangements. There's no need to make the same mistake again.
