Rin Nohara and Kakashi walked toward the prison together.
The two chatted about amusing past events as they made their way to the deepest part of the prison, finally arriving before the prisoner, Obito.
In Obito's eye sockets was a pair of ordinary eyes.
Clearly,
his Mangekyo Sharingan had already been gouged out, precisely to prevent this fellow Obito from causing trouble in prison.
Only out of consideration for his Uchiha lineage and because Rin Nohara had pleaded on his behalf did they replace them with a pair of ordinary eyes.
"Kakashi, Rin..."
"What are you here for? To mock me?"
Obito was actually quite clean at the moment.
Although the cell was less than three square meters, it was kept exceptionally tidy. Obito sat on the small bed, looking at his two former teammates with a complex expression.
At this,
Kakashi and Rin Nohara exchanged a glance, and both couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh!
Rin Nohara was the first to speak, "Obito, why would you think that?"
"You were saved by Rin." Kakashi's expression was solemn, his eyes reflecting a hint of complexity. "You can ignore me, Kakashi, and I could even understand if you wanted to kill me."
"But you shouldn't treat Rin like this, if you have even a shred of conscience left!"
"Do you know that regarding your disposal, the Uchiha advocated for executing you directly, while the other Ninja Clans and Civilians advocated for killing you and then resurrecting you with Edo Tensei, so that you would be like Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others—forced to work endlessly for Konoha every day in an Edo Tensei state to atone for your sins!"
"Even Sensei Minato and Sensei Kushina remained silent when it came to your issue."
"After all, the hurt you caused Sensei and Mistress was too deep. If you had only harmed the two of them, Sensei Minato and Mistress Kushina might have just beaten you up to vent their anger, and then let the matter slide."
"But..."
"Because of your actions, Naruto's childhood was filled with misery!"
"Although the main perpetrator was Hiruzen Sarutobi, the source of this whole matter lies with you."
"So, do you understand now?"
"You idiot, Obito. You can say everyone else let you down, but Rin is the one person who never did."
"On the contrary..."
"If not for Rin's pleading, your fate would have been miserable—a hundred times worse than death!"
As Kakashi spoke, Obito finally began to look genuinely shaken.
Indeed!
Others might have wronged him, but Rin was definitely not among them.
She had been good to him since childhood, and even though he had committed all these wrongs, Rin was still willing to help him unconditionally.
But...
But, damn it!
Why did Rin have to marry that bastard Uchiha Jin?!
You should know that the person he hated most in his life was Uchiha Jin. After all, if not for that damn bastard, he would have already realized his Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, and perhaps he and Rin would be living happily together right now.
And in that perfect world, Kakashi, Sensei Minato, Mistress Kushina...
Everyone would be there!
But...
He couldn't bring himself to say any more!
On the other side,
Seeing Obito's face, which was distorted with rage yet filled with melancholy—clearly still defiant—Rin Nohara let out a sigh and finally spoke.
"Obito..."
"There are some things I didn't want to say before, but seeing you like this, I think it's better to let you know the truth."
"The Infinite Tsukuyomi!"
"You must still be thinking about it in your heart, right?"
Hiss!
Hearing Rin Nohara's words, Obito froze instantly on the spot.
In an instant,
for some unknown reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling!
As it turned out, his intuition was correct.
With a complex look in her eyes, Rin Nohara slowly revealed what she knew.
"You know Black Zetsu, don't you? Of course you do!"
"After all, in your eyes, he was your partner, the shadow of Uchiha Madara."
"But you are wrong!"
"Black Zetsu is Kaguya's third son, and Kaguya has two other children."
"Hagoromo and Hamura!"
"You might not be familiar with Otsutsuki Hagoromo, but he has another name that you definitely won't find unfamiliar."
"The Six Paths Sage!"
"Do you understand now?"
"Black Zetsu is the younger brother of the Six Paths Sage, and the Infinite Tsukuyomi is actually a Ninjutsu to unseal Kaguya!"
"Not only were you and Nagato pawns, but even Uchiha Madara was just a pawn of Black Zetsu."
"So Obito, face reality!"
"As long as you reform yourself well in prison, once peace descends upon the Ninja World, people will eventually forget about your deeds over time."
"At that time, I will plead with my husband, and he will grant you your freedom."
Rin Nohara spoke softly, her eyes filled with sincerity.
But upon hearing these words, Obito felt his entire worldview shatter.
How is that possible?
No!
He didn't believe it!
How could the Infinite Tsukuyomi be a lie? What third son of Kaguya, Black Zetsu...
He refused to believe any of it!
In fact, let alone Obito, even Kakashi was hearing this for the first time.
It couldn't be helped!
Although Kakashi held a high and influential position now and Uchiha Jin hadn't treated him poorly, his strength overall still seemed a bit lackluster in today's Konoha.
To be precise, he belonged to the third tier!
Excluding the strongest, Uchiha Jin, the first tier consisted of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.
The second tier comprised Senju Tobirama, Uzumaki Mito, Ōnoki, Fugaku, Itachi, Shisui, and his father, Sakumo Hatake.
As for the third tier, it was Kakashi, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and the like.
Yes!
The 'versions' of the Ninja World updated too quickly. During the late period of Hiruzen Sarutobi's reign, Kakashi could still be considered one of Konoha's top powerhouses, but now he suddenly couldn't quite make the cut.
But even so,
the fact that Kakashi could still firmly hold his position as a war zone commander was enough to show that Uchiha Jin truly valued him.
"Obito, stop thinking about it!"
"What I said is indeed the truth, because that woman Kaguya has already been defeated by Lord Jin and brought directly back to his home."
"She is now Jin's third wife!"
Rin Nohara explained, using this to prove her words.
However,
at this moment, Obito couldn't hear anything else, instead speaking through gritted teeth.
"What? Third wife?"
"That damn villain Uchiha Jin, how dare he treat Rin like this?"
"He deserves to die!"
Obito's voice was hoarse, filled with suppressed rage.
Who was Rin Nohara?
She was the moonlight of Obito's heart! It was bad enough that the bastard Uchiha Jin had snatched her away, but to snatch her away and not even cherish her, even fooling around with other women outside...
What a bastard!
Thinking of this, Obito felt a burning urge to murder Uchiha Jin!
On the other hand, Rin Nohara couldn't understand his reaction at all.
"Obito, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with having three wives? Isn't that perfectly normal?"
"What on earth are you thinking!"
