Lemon Spirit Obito Goes Live
At this moment, facing everyone’s suggestive looks,
Kakashi was at a loss.
Rin, on the other hand, responded to everyone with a huge smile. Although she had removed the paint from her face and looked somewhat different, so no one recognized her, she recognized quite a few people.
This Konoha, which felt a little unfamiliar to her, was gradually overlapping with the Konoha in her memories.
She couldn’t help feeling that it was wonderful to be alive.
She turned her head.
She looked somewhat gratefully at Shen Mo, who seemed to be chatting casually with Ikaros.
This man was the one who had given her the chance to be resurrected.
Shen Mo noticed her gaze.
As if he knew what she was thinking, he returned her smile and said, "I only gave you the opportunity. The one who resurrected you was Kakashi, who paid the price for it, although he originally wanted to resurrect Obito first."
The last sentence had simply slipped out.
However, Nohara Rin didn’t get angry.
"That’s just how Kakashi is." She looked at Kakashi, who was surrounded and teased by everyone, her smile becoming even brighter. Suddenly, she grabbed Kakashi by the wrist and ran out of the crowd, not forgetting to wave behind her. "We have something to do. See you later."
"Tsk, tsk. Girls these days are really bold."
"Isn’t that the truth?"
"Speaking of which, Kakashi has been popular ever since he was little. After all, he’s both strong and handsome."
"But I really didn’t expect this. Kakashi actually likes girls that age."
These neighborhood aunties and uncles who loved gossiping all wore gratified expressions. After all, they had watched Kakashi grow up, and everyone had seen the effort he had put into protecting the village.
Naturally, they hoped Kakashi could find his own happiness.
What they didn’t know was this.
The words they had spoken were like needles stabbing painfully into one person’s ears.
Shen Mo’s gaze turned toward a nearby alley.
There,
a mass of trembling yet powerful Chakra was being suppressed.
It was Obito, who was hiding there.
He had originally been gazing down at all of Konoha from a high place, trying to determine where to begin his investigation. Then he saw Kakashi and Rin emerge from the same apartment.
The instant he saw Nohara Rin,
he simply couldn’t believe his eyes.
But after tremblingly approaching,
he became utterly certain.
This familiar Chakra, this smiling girl—she was his Rin!
At that moment, his emotions became more intense than ever.
His mind was a complete mess.
Rin had been resurrected too? Why was she living with Kakashi? Rin had died at Kakashi’s hands, so didn’t Kakashi feel even the slightest guilt?
All kinds of questions surged forth.
Obito wanted to charge out without a care, but when he faced Rin’s smile, his body froze.
As he listened to what those people were saying,
Rin didn’t deny it. The happy smile on Rin’s face made Obito’s emotions churn endlessly between lava and frost. And when Rin pulled Kakashi away by the hand, the sight made his entire head roar.
Why?
Uchiha Obito suppressed his terrifying aura as he watched the backs of those two. His already battered heart seemed to be stabbed with sharp thorns once again.
He didn’t understand.
Kakashi, that man, had allowed Rin to die by his own hand.
Yet he could still face Rin with a clear conscience.
Even Rin didn’t blame him in the slightest.
"For the sake of the village, killing one’s comrades is considered only natural, even necessary to make one’s comrades kill them. A world like this can never bring Rin happiness." Uchiha Obito’s voice was hoarse, his tone like that of a vengeful ghost suffering torture in hell.
Shen Mo listened to these words filled with despair and hatred.
He sighed inwardly.
He had orchestrated this scene simply to see whether Obito’s love for Rin contained more possessiveness or more of a desire for Rin to be happy.
If it was the former, Obito might make a move to take Rin away. If it was the latter, he might leave silently, or even silently protect Rin.
The two possibilities corresponded to completely different Jars.
But he hadn’t expected this.
What Obito resented most was the world before his eyes—a world where comrades could be made to slaughter one another for the sake of a mission.
Rin could die at the hands of a comrade for the sake of the village. Kakashi had failed to protect Rin, yet Rin still loved him. Meanwhile, Obito had done anything for Rin, even going so far as to destroy Konoha and kill his teacher, but he would instead receive no recognition from Rin.
In his heart, this was wrong.
A world like this, and a Rin like this, could never be happy.
She would only be hurt again at some unknown time.
That was also why
Obito had wanted to seek a false Rin through the Eye of the Moon plan.
Like Uchiha Madara, he believed that the real world was wrong.
However—
Shen Mo saw it very clearly.
Two thoughts were constantly circling through Obito’s mind.
One was to continue advancing the Eye of the Moon plan, after which he could live forever in happiness with a false Rin in a false world.
The other was to work hard to make the real Rin before him understand that only he could bring her true happiness, while Kakashi couldn’t.
However, given Rin’s kindness,
for her to accept him after he had killed his own teacher and even gravely wounded the village, she would have to understand the darkness of this world, the cruelty of the village, and that Kakashi and Konoha were fundamentally unworthy of her love.
That would be extremely difficult!
But—!
Uchiha Obito watched Rin’s back, watched her turn around, watched her wave.
The Rin he loved was right before him.
The false could never compare to the real.
Shen Mo’s expression became slightly odd.
In the end,
after seeing the resurrected Rin, Obito’s wish wasn’t to take Rin away, nor was it to protect her. Instead, he wanted to change Rin, make her recognize the world as well, become corrupted, and then throw herself into his arms?
What kind of Jar would that be, Dao Heart Seed Demon?
What a headache.
Shen Mo hadn’t obtained the result he expected. With a faint melancholy, he walked over to Rin and Kakashi, who were waiting for them ahead. Under the effects of Telepathy, the Shen Mo and Ikaros in Obito’s eyes were merely an insignificant pair of people.
It looked
like an ordinary outing for two couples.
The four of them continued strolling around. Rin seemed to be in high spirits, looking around everywhere. From time to time, she would pull Kakashi into a shop and linger there, or warmly greet the villagers who came over to ask questions, mischievously watching Kakashi fumble through his explanations.
Shen Mo wasn’t in quite as good a mood.
Because a Lemon Spirit was following behind them.
That enormous sourness, envy, jealousy, and hatred could be felt even after Shen Mo withdrew the power of Telepathy.
27/71 owed chapters. Obito’s psychology is really hard to write T-T
