Scene Two: Domestic Abuse

The light and shadows flickered before Obito once more, and then he found himself in his own home.

Standing before him was a woman so thin she was little more than skin and bones, filthy from head to toe.

Even though her appearance had changed somewhat, Obito recognized her at a glance—Nohara Rin.

Nohara Rin said, "I never thought Kakashi would become this kind of person after we got married."

"He abuses me and won't give me anything to eat."

After saying that, she collapsed onto the table and began sobbing again.

The sight made Obito's heart ache. This was the girl he liked, yet she had not found happiness.

Naturally, this single scene had been designed by Uchiha Yato for him.

When he reached out to touch the girl before him, he discovered that he could move freely. He was no longer like a puppet on strings as he had been before.

He immediately began comforting the pitiful Nohara Rin.

Neither his actions nor his words crossed any lines, and he did not try to stir up conflict.

It had to be said that Obito was quite decent in this regard.

Watching the scene unfold, Uchiha Yato gave a mysterious smile.

Those who knew him understood that he was about to start something.

Nohara Rin said, "Obito, can you help me?"

Hearing Rin's plea for help, Obito nodded without a second thought.

Nohara Rin continued, "Help me kill Kakashi. I can't take it anymore!"

That answer was truly absurd.

Naturally, it was because Uchiha Yato had designed it that way.

Rin's established character was that of someone considerate and understanding, but Uchiha Yato had shattered that image.

By making her put forward such an unreasonable request, he wanted to see what choice Obito would make.

Would he mindlessly help Rin escape her current predicament, or would he find another way?

Upon hearing Rin's request, Obito's mind went blank.

Kakashi might have been particularly smug, but they had still gotten along well.

Yet Rin desperately needed protection now, and he did not know what to do.

That was precisely Uchiha Yato's goal. The Obito from the original story would certainly have chosen to help Rin.

But the current Obito was only a child. His sense of morality and values had yet to fully take shape, so there was still room to change them.

After thinking for a while, Obito said, "Rin, I'll help you with Kakashi."

"Let's go find him together."

Hearing that, Uchiha Yato was somewhat disappointed.

Then Obito continued, "I'll explain everything to him clearly. I won't let the two of you come to bloodshed."

"Rin, whatever happens, we can face it together. Don't be like this. This isn't like you."

Nohara Rin was stunned by those words. More precisely, Uchiha Yato, who was controlling her, was stunned.

Obito's answer was both somewhat off the mark and entirely unexpected.

Still, it was not the worst possible outcome, which gave Uchiha Yato some comfort.

Soon after, Nohara Rin's gentle words lingered beside Obito's ears.

Then came the final scene.

Scene Three: Kakashi Kills Nohara Rin

This time, there was no narration or buildup. Obito was directly shown the bloodiest possible scene.

There were none of the previous messy fantasies, either. It was simply just as it had been in the original story.

And this time, Obito changed as well.

His emotions continued to rise until they reached their peak.

His eyes turned blood-red, and then a tomoe began spinning within them.

That was right. Upon seeing Nohara Rin's tragic death, Obito awakened his Sharingan.

At that moment, Uchiha Yato's smile grew even wider.

"Ding~"

"Congratulations, Host, for causing Obito to lose emotional control."

"Received 1,000 Emotion Coins."

The instant gain of 1,000 Emotion Coins made Uchiha Yato grin from ear to ear.

Uchiha Hai, who had been watching as well, felt somewhat disgusted by the scene.

The later developments were much the same as in the original story.

Holding Rin, Obito spoke that classic line.

"I want to create..."

"A world with Rin in it!"

After Obito's final bout of dizziness, Yato's genjutsu came to an end.

When he woke up, Obito did not know what to do for a moment, but there was one thing that made him very happy.

Nohara Rin had not changed. She had not gotten married, much less died.

Uchiha Yato said, "Congratulations. You proved that you're not a simp—you're a devoted boy."

"Hai, you must use Brother Obito as an example when choosing boys in the future, okay~?"

Uchiha Hai was somewhat caught up in Obito's emotions as well.

There was no helping it. The Uchiha Clan was a clan of love.

They were extraordinarily rich in emotion, so Uchiha Hai's reaction was only natural.

Looking at the reactions of the two children, especially Hai's current expression, Uchiha Yato had reason to suspect something.

If Hai had been a little older, perhaps such an emotional impact might have awakened her Sharingan as well.

Changing the subject, Uchiha Yato said to Obito, "Congratulations, Obito. You awakened your Sharingan."

Only then did Obito put the events of the illusion aside for the moment and discover that he could now activate his Sharingan.

The child was overjoyed. After all, Obito was still a child of the Uchiha Clan, and awakening the Sharingan was something every Uchiha had to experience.

Then Obito looked at Uchiha Yato with an extremely complicated expression.

Should he thank him? How could he thank him?

Thank Uchiha Yato for making him experience such immense pain?

But if he were to blame him, it was Uchiha Yato's stimulation that had allowed him to awaken his Sharingan.

Uchiha Yato saw Obito's awkwardness and said, "No need to thank me. It's what a big brother should do."

"If you really want to thank me, then help me look after these little brats more in the future."

While speaking with Obito, he put away the projector.

Unfortunately, Obito still saw it. In embarrassment and anger, he demanded that Uchiha Yato delete the recording.

Earlier, when Uchiha Yato had taught them that they had to be cautious of genjutsu, he had specifically shown them Ryoma Aburame dancing after falling under a genjutsu.

That scene was so eye-searing that one look was enough.

Most Uchiha jonin who specialized somewhat in genjutsu wanted to learn the genjutsu the Uchiha had developed—Chicken, You're Too Beautiful.

But having to first learn that maddening dance was truly difficult for them to accept.

That was why many proud Uchiha had no choice but to give up on the genjutsu. It was too painful, too torturous.

Remembering what had happened in the genjutsu, as well as the things he had done, Obito could not help feeling ashamed.

He immediately chased after Uchiha Yato, demanding that he delete the recording.

With his Sharingan activated, he chased Uchiha Yato, trying to get it back.

Seeing this, Uchiha Yato immediately took off running.

At the same time, he kept spouting flirtatious nonsense, provoking Obito into chasing him relentlessly.

At that moment, a change occurred in Obito's heart.

If I ever get the chance, I'll definitely find a way to create a world without Uchiha Yato!

What Obito did not know was that he had actually guessed right.

Twenty years later, this bullet would hit him once again.

At this moment, old Master Madara, who had been secretly watching through a White Zetsu-brand television, could not help praising Uchiha Yato.

In terms of strategy, Uchiha Yato was exceptionally capable.

In terms of strength, with his Mangekyo and his series of strange techniques, his ninjutsu was equally outstanding.

In terms of character, he was exceptional throughout the shinobi world—at least, he was particularly exceptional in the eyes of the Sand shinobi.

Master Madara knew his own body very well. He needed a representative to capture the tailed beasts for him throughout the shinobi world.

He had already prepared one chess piece, but he needed another to keep watch over it.

At present, he had three candidates in mind.

Uchiha Yato, Obito, and Uchiha Shisui.

Yato was strong in every respect, but he would be difficult to use. His unrestrained personality, combined with his considerable strength, meant he was fully capable of protecting himself.

If someone as smart as him discovered that Master Madara was behind the schemes, things would very likely backfire.

After witnessing Obito's inner journey through the projector, Madara realized that this child was the most perfect Uchiha.

Therefore, if circumstances permitted, the more easily controlled Obito would be his chosen target.

As for Shisui, judging by his current attitude, he was a genius who had been taught to think and judge for himself.

But that was also the problem. Once he realized he had been deceived, everything would likely come to nothing, and he might even turn against them.

Seeing Master Madara deep in thought, White Zetsu beside him said, "Lord Madara, are you thinking so hard because you can't poop?"

With one sentence, he shattered the silence in the room.

Black Zetsu covered White Zetsu's mouth.

He immediately said to Madara, "Lord Madara, don't listen to this idiot."

Seeing that Master Madara had calmed down, Black Zetsu said, "Lord Madara, I have an idea. I'm not sure whether it will work?"
