"Who?"
"Rin?"
Obito's head, which had just been raised, froze in place as he looked at Roy. Beneath his tinted goggles, his eyes trembled suddenly, and he blurted out, "Impossible. Rin won't die."
She is so kind... "With me, Kakashi, and Sensei protecting her, how could she die?"
However... humans do die... whether it's being killed, committing suicide, or dying from illness, life will inevitably wither one day, and that day, though seemingly slow, might come quickly, even... very suddenly.
Roy said nothing. He just silently watched Obito, a trace of blood slowly emerging in his eyes,
"Gaa~"
The sound of a crow echoed...
Blood-red formed into three jet-black tomoe, slowly rotating to transform into the eye of a crow, reflecting in Obito's pupils, and as it flapped its wings, it dropped a black feather....
The young man was startled for a moment, and when he came to his senses, the scene before him had changed entirely,
He was no longer sitting on a mat, and there was no tatami in front of him — just a forest filled with a silent, killing intent. Evidently... this was a battlefield!
A battlefield... where's Rin... Kakashi... Sensei... Instinctively, Obito reached for his waist to pull out a kunai... but then an intense pain struck, causing him to grunt in agony. It was only when he regained his senses that he realized he was trapped under a large rock, half of his body numb....
Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth,
He was weak and powerless, unable to move,
Finally, in his dying moments, he saw his close friend Kakashi, who was looking at him with a grieving expression. So, this cold and arrogant guy can also be sad and weep....
Obito was somewhat surprised and then somewhat relieved. As in the original story, he instructed Kakashi to protect Rin at all costs, and then he handed over his last Sharingan to him. The moment after, he lost consciousness, feeling as if his body was drowning in water....
Falling continuously... falling... until suddenly, the scene shifted, and he finally landed on solid ground. When he opened his eyes again...
He finally saw his beloved Rin,
She still had that gentle and smiling demeanor.
But this time... her heart was pierced by a blinding lightning!
"No!" Obito screamed desperately, clambering towards Rin with all his limbs... Closer... he finally reached her side, and at the same time saw her murderer... The white-haired individual coldly turning to look at him was none other than his teammate, close friend, confidant, and rival in love... Kakashi Hatake!
"Boom!" Obito exploded!
Intense negative emotions exploded from him as the center....
The worm residing inside him almost got blasted away....
Fugaku's house, living room.
Roy cast an illusion while simultaneously using [En], creating a mental worm that delved into Obito's heart through the causal line, directly confronting the overwhelming negative emotions. His ears twitched, and as expected, he heard the familiar panel notification sound.
[Enhancement: Detected intense negative emotions, source... Uchiha Obito....]
[Current "Negative Emotion Accumulation Rate": 10%...20%...30%...100%...200%...500%.....]
In the blink of an eye, it exceeded a thousand!
Even more than the negative emotions Roy gathered at the Nanhe Shrine gathering!
Roy remained silent,
At that moment, he understood the true weight behind Obito's words in the original story, "I want to create a world only for Rin."
1000%...1100%...1500%.... The negative emotions kept soaring, finally halting at 2000%...
Suddenly, it stopped....
At the same time,
The panel notification indicated,
[Yin Release: Level 3 (142/10000) → Level 4 (7445/100000)]
[Remark: At Level 5... Mangekyo Sharingan will be auto-unlocked]
Roy: "...."
Once again, he gained a profound understanding of the "innately evil Uchiha"; the more hatred there is, the stronger it becomes, the more twisted it is, the stronger it gets, the more extreme it is, the stronger it becomes, just like when Itachi killed his whole clan and told Sasuke "Hate me."
Roy picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then looked up to see Obito across him, who had already fallen into madness, his face twisted in extreme agony, his body shaking violently, even clenching his fists so tightly that his nails pierced into his skin, drawing blood....
The young man said lightly, "Awaken."
With a "pop~" sound....
The illusion shattered like a water mirror,
When awareness returned, Obito fell backward, collapsing directly onto the mat.
"Huff... huff...." was his heavy breathing.
"Drip... drip...." was the cold sweat seeping down his back.
It seemed like he hadn't fully exited the illusion, as he yelled fiercely, "Kakashi, I'm going to kill you!"
As he abruptly sat up, he saw a pair of calm eyes watching him,
Obito suddenly stopped his movements, glanced around, and then collapsed back onto the mat, his knees giving way beneath him.
"Was it an illusion?" His heart was still racing, and the anger had not yet subsided. With a hoarse voice, he looked at Roy, eyes complicated, and asked, "Inside, was it real...or fake?"
"Obito, what do you think?" Roy handed a cup of tea to the young man and said casually, "If you think it's real, then it's real. If you think it's fake, then it's fake."
When the false comes true, the true becomes false. Where there's nothing, there's still something.
"Congratulations, Obito."
What's there to congratulate? I died, Rin died... Are you making a fool of me!
Obito was furious. He reached out to grab the teacup Roy handed over, wanting to splash it over Roy's head. But as he looked down and saw the ripples in the tea, reflecting a pair of scarlet eyes,
Obito was taken aback,
Instinctively bringing his face closer to the cup, taking a closer look, he finally freed a hand to gently touch his eye sockets, confirming that it was... undeniably the Sharingan!
Obito looked up at Roy again, and the young man smiled slightly, like the sun rising in the sky, dazzling...
"You..."
"I.... "
He swallowed but couldn't find the words. Obito held the teacup awkwardly and bowed his head in embarrassment.
Just then, from the kitchen, the curtain was lifted, revealing Itachi's slightly chubby baby face, "Nissan, breakfast is ready."
Roy nodded slightly and warmly said to Obito, "You brought some snacks, why don't you try my mom's cooking?"
Obito put down his teacup, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. Considering the situation...
"Then let's eat first."
A young man's emotions come quickly and go quickly... but Roy knew well that those 2000% negative emotions would become a fierce wound crossing Obito's heart, not easily healed in the short term... As for....
Whether Obito would go after Kakashi later, that was not something Roy cared about.
The young man glanced at the [Yin Release] that had abruptly been elevated to Level 4, and with a thought, retrieved the worm that had infiltrated Obito's heart.
The worm, plump and satiated, wriggled out laboriously, rolled on the spot, burped contently, and crawled back into Roy's heart, where it was sealed inside his "Unconscious Domain" for future use.
"Here comes the food~"
