If possible, Obito even wished to pull Madara back. Although Madara caused Rin's death and led him to corruption, who made him now also become one of the good guys.
In this world, being a good person is extremely difficult. The fact that Naruto did not fall can only be said to be luck.
Obito could not help but shake his head.
Then, he calmed down and analyzed the current situation.
The point in time he was reborn into was actually very special.
Now, the Second Great Ninja War had already ended. Kakashi's father, Konoha's White Fang, Sakumo Hatake, did not die on the battlefield, but ended his own life.
Kakashi suffered a blow, his will was depressed. Today, he would apply for early graduation from the Ninja Academy to prove himself.
And his past self would also break down because of this.
Back then, he was actually very insecure, afraid that he could not keep up with Kakashi's pace and lose this close friend.
He was even more afraid that Rin would follow Kakashi and disappear from his world.
So, to escape reality, he ran away.
Until... Rin came to find him.
It was Rin's comfort and encouragement that made him pull himself together.
It was also at that time that Rin made the promise, "I will always watch over you."
Because of this promise, Rin ended up waiting for him for a very long time on the road to the afterlife...
History seemed to have become a cycle, and he was reborn at this node.
Actually, after meeting Rin in the afterlife, he suddenly understood his place in Rin's heart.
The bond between him and Rin was not that fragile. One could even say, even if he abandoned the entire world, Rin did not abandon him.
Rin's care for him was more than the entire world combined.
So, even if Kakashi became the sun in the sky, he could not steal his Rin.
Moreover, the future also proved that he, Uchiha Obito, was the genius.
Kakashi was just a waste, for so many years, still no improvement.
So, currently, that waste should be cheered up. Otherwise, with the scale of the Fourth Great Ninja War, Kakashi would not even have the qualification to see Kaguya.
"Calculating the time, Rin should come find me soon. I will meet up with Rin first, then go find Kakashi."
Thinking this, Obito activated Kamui's ability again and returned to reality.
Because the war had just ended, Konoha Village was still filled with a stern, murderous atmosphere.
Fortunately, this had not yet affected the children.
On the training field near the Ninja Academy, five boys and girls gathered together, playing happily during the lunch break, their faces still carrying innocent smiles.
The Will of Fire passed down by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, although already distorted by Konoha's higher-ups, was after all the foundation of the village. The core part of its ideology had to be followed by later generations.
Compared to the Warring States period where children as young as four or five had to go to the battlefield, these children of Konoha were indeed a bit happier.
Obito appeared beside one of the few large trees on the training field, hiding his figure in the shadows, quietly watching this scene.
This was a habit he had developed over many years.
In his previous life, he infiltrated Konoha many times. Returning to Konoha was like going home. Where was good for hiding, where would not be detected by the sensing barrier, he knew all too well.
Perhaps even the members of the Barrier Team and the Scout Team were not as familiar with Konoha's layout as he was.
The main reason for appearing here was considering that a large number of White Zetsu were lurking in Konoha Village, all were Madara's eyes and ears. It was better to avoid them if possible. Being discovered for his special nature would be a big trouble.
Although he currently did not really fear Madara, just a dying old man.
If he wanted to, he could, at the cost of his eyesight declining and his body falling apart, use Kamui to teleport over and fight Madara.
Madara probably could not win against him.
But he was afraid of implicating the people around him.
Salvation is much harder than destruction.
With a reckless personality like Uzumaki Naruto's, if luck was not good, forget saving the world, he would probably end up like his past self.
Right now, he did not want to gamble on luck.
However, unlike his previous life, he now had a reasonable and legal identity. He did not need to hide in the shadows all the time.
Thinking this, he stepped out from the shadows.
The afternoon in Konoha Village, the sunlight was just right. He bathed in the sunlight, feeling the long-lost warmth.
This feeling, since falling into darkness, had been absent for a long time.
At this moment, a little girl with purple paint on her face walked into the training field, seemingly looking around, searching for someone's figure.
The girl was both anxious and excited, her small face, her lively big eyes blinking.
Obito's gaze immediately fixed on her.
Such a vivid Rin, he had not seen for a very, very long time.
Her existence made this world bright and colorful, was the reason the world did not become hell.
Obito could not help but shed tears. He really wanted to go over and give Rin a big hug.
He needed Rin's warmth too much to melt the gloom he had accumulated over the years.
But until this moment, he discovered that after all these years, he was still the same.
He could confront the whole world for Rin, but did not dare to express his feelings in front of Rin.
For a moment, he froze in place, hesitant, uneasy, wanting to take action, but ultimately did nothing.
As if sensing Obito's burning, intense gaze, Rin turned to look.
The girl also immediately locked her eyes on him. Upon discovering he was crying, the joy between her brows lessened somewhat, and she ran over with worry.
"Obito, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Rin raised her small hand and wiped his tears for him.
Obito sniffled and showed a big smile.
"It's nothing, just a bit of wind and frost."
As soon as Obito finished speaking, Rin hugged him.
Rin hugged very tightly, as if wanting to bear some of it for him.
"Obito, you really can't lie."
"No matter what happens, I will be by your side. If you want to cry, cry out loud."
Rin did not know exactly what Obito had experienced, but she felt that Obito needed her hug, needed her warmth.
Obito's tears, which had originally stopped, flowed out again. At this moment, he was no longer the behind-the-scenes mastermind of the ninja world, but just a little boy who had lost something precious for a long time and gotten it back.
He also hugged Rin, cried very loudly, cried like a child.
He wanted to cry out all the suppression, pain, and grievance of so many years.
A long time later, he finally stopped crying. Rin's shoulder was already soaked with his tears.
He let go of Rin somewhat shyly and said, "Sorry, Rin, right after meeting, you saw such an embarrassing scene again."
Before he could finish, Rin shook her head.
"Obito, can you tell me what exactly happened?"
Though gentle, her tone was filled with an undeniable firmness.
In this hug, Rin had felt too many, too many emotions.
That despair and suppression almost crushed her, that obsession and love almost melted her.
If they hadn't just met in the morning, she would have almost thought that Obito and she had been separated by life and death for many years before reuniting.
So she really wanted to know, in just one noon, what exactly had Obito experienced?
