Obito noticed that the player who had been fighting him had disappeared, and he thought they had quit the game.
He looked at the new person who appeared with some helplessness, but the result stunned him.
"Are you... Rin...?"
When he saw that Rin's ID was 'NPC', Obito fell silent.
"Obito." Rin showed a gentle smile, and though her lips were smiling, her eyes were filled with tears.
Seeing this, Obito froze in place, and at the same time, tears welled up in his eyes.
Naruto, who was in stealth mode, was also startled, "Did Obito realize that Rin was a player?"
Obito did realize that the Rin in front of him was not an NPC, but not by distinguishing between NPCs and players, but from the expression Rin had when she looked at him.
In the mini-theater, Obito had spent decades with an unchanging Rin, and he had grown numb to the Rin created entirely from his own imagination.
Because he knew, it was just an illusion.
As for the NPC Rin? Like the Rin in the mini-theater, the NPC Rin was also created using Kakashi's memories; in essence, she was just a piece of data.
But the Rin in front of him was very different.
When she looked at him, Obito felt a pang of heartache.
"Are you... Rin? Are you really Rin?"
Obito looked at Rin and asked with an excited tone.
"Obito... It's me, I've been revived."
Hearing that Rin had been revived, Obito's first reaction was not joy, but a somewhat nervous question, "Um... um, Naruto and Teacher, they didn't show you any strange videos, did they?"
The 'strange videos' Obito referred to were naturally the 'Obito's Social Death Compilation' that Naruto had put together.
In addition, there was also the "I Want to Create a World With Kakashi" video series.
These videos were all in Obito's lounge area; he could enjoy them at any time.
Hearing Obito's question, Rin shook her head and said, "No."
Obito also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "It's good that she didn't see them, it's good."
Obito had already decided that as soon as Rin left here, he would immediately find a way to call Naruto; as long as Naruto didn't give the videos to Rin, he would do anything.
Just then, Rin's voice sounded again.
"Obito... I know... you've done many things you shouldn't have because of me, so... no matter what punishment you face, I want to face it with you."
"Rin, you..."
Obito was deeply moved by Rin's words, but he absolutely could not let Rin suffer the same things as him.
"Rin, this is my sin, it has nothing to do with you."
Naruto, who had been hidden, saw that the two were about to show affection, and he directly forced them to exit the virtual world.
In the real world, Naruto opened his eyes and took off his helmet.
At the same time, Rin also took off her helmet, and she looked at Naruto with some confusion, "Why did you make me quit?"
"I think it's better for you to meet Obito in person!"
Naruto then brought Rin to the cell where Obito was being held.
At this moment, Obito was lying on the bed, with a needle in his arm, and nutrient solution was slowly dripping into his body through the needle.
Obito, who had already exited the virtual world, slowly raised his arm and took off the virtual helmet.
The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Rin.
Seeing Rin in reality, he immediately confirmed that Rin had indeed been truly revived.
Just then, Minato Namikaze, Kakashi, and Kushina Uzumaki also arrived.
"Rin, I..."
Having left the virtual world, Obito seemed to have developed social anxiety and didn't know how to face Rin.
Rin, on the other hand, walked forward and gently kissed Obito's forehead.
"Obito... come back!"
Rin's kiss immediately made Obito's face turn crimson, even appearing to smoke.
Seeing this, Naruto and Minato Namikaze exchanged glances, a meaningful smile appearing on both their lips.
The reason for such an expression was because... in the mini-theater, Obito and Rin had had even more intimate interactions.
If it weren't for Rin still being a thirteen or fourteen-year-old loli, Obito would probably have made some adult moves.
But in the real world, just a kiss on the forehead made Obito smoke.
This also indirectly showed that Obito himself did not truly acknowledge the Rin in the illusory world as the real Rin.
While Obito was in a daze, Rin turned to look at her teacher, Minato Namikaze, her teacher's wife, Kushina Uzumaki, and Naruto.
She bowed deeply to the three of them and said, "Teacher, Teacher's Wife, and Naruto, I apologize for Obito's past actions. If Obito needs to be punished, I am willing to bear half of the corresponding punishment!"
Rin's words made Obito immediately refuse, "No... Teacher, you absolutely cannot do that."
Although Obito had only been a BOSS in the virtual world for a few days, that kind of mental pressure was not something an ordinary person could bear.
Aside from anything else, the pressure of dying several times a day alone could drive a person insane.
Kushina Uzumaki said nothing, but looked at her husband, Minato Namikaze, who then looked at Naruto, and Naruto then looked at his mother, Kushina Uzumaki.
Ultimately, Minato Namikaze looked at Naruto and said, "How about... we let Obito join the revolutionary forces to atone for his past deeds?"
Naruto thought carefully. If Obito joined and Deidara was also brought in, the Akatsuki Organization's dream team would indeed be complete.
Thinking this, Naruto looked at Obito and casually said, "That works too. Anyway, Nagato has already completely destroyed the Rinnegan... and the Infinite Tsukuyomi or anything like that can't be completed anymore!"
Naruto said this to see Obito's reaction, to see if he had truly turned over a new leaf.
When Obito heard the news that the Rinnegan had been destroyed, he showed no reaction, his gaze remaining fixed on Rin.
Seeing this, Naruto also knew that Obito had indeed turned over a new leaf because of Rin.
Sure enough... only love can make a chuunibyou teenager give up on destroying the world.
