Chapter 186: Obito, Please, Kill Me
After branding the Caged Bird curse seal, Yasushi wasn't in a hurry to save anyone. Instead, he first formed a hand seal to test this shinobi world version of the tightening curse's effects.
Obito only felt his brain seemed to be repeatedly pierced by a thousand needles. He couldn't endure it no matter what. His body bounced once, then crashed heavily to the ground, screaming in agony.
Yasushi watched from the side, laughing so hard he bent over, continuously applauding, incredibly happy.
"Good job!"
Yasushi gave Obito a thumbs up, smiling as he walked to Rin's side, extending his hand to press on Rin's body, beginning to treat her injuries.
Actually, to prevent Rin from being killed in one blow, Yasushi had long ago planted his healing ocular power in Rin's body—not for treating injuries, just for preserving life.
So unless Obito directly exploded Rin's brain, otherwise no matter how severely Rin was injured, keeping her alive temporarily wasn't a big problem.
He deliberately bullied Obito for not knowing this, repeatedly toying with Obito.
Soon, the large hole in Rin's chest slowly healed. But for complete recovery, that wasn't something achievable in a short time.
However, under chakra's effect, Rin finally awakened again, opening her eyes.
"Rin..." Obito was moved to tears, kowtowing to Yasushi "bang bang."
"Thank you so much for saving Rin again."
"Obito!" Rin's voice was faint as gossamer, but the gaze she directed at Obito had already become extremely disappointed.
"You shouldn't have saved me again. This will only let me be controlled by enemies forever!"
"Please, Obito, let me go, and let yourself go too."
"Kill me. Let me be freed."
"No, Rin, I don't want you to die!" Obito completely ignored Rin's plea, kneeling beside her, tightly holding her hand, weeping uncontrollably.
"Rin, a world with you is real. A world without you is all fake, deceptive, nonexistent."
"Rin, I swear to you—henceforth I'll never let you be harmed, much less hurt you again."
Obito rambled on confessing to Rin. Yasushi listened from the side with a grin, eyes rolling around, not knowing what evil scheme he was plotting.
Seeing Obito impervious to reason, stubbornly unrepentant, Rin felt both angry and furious inside, increasingly missing the decisive Kakashi.
"Obito, where's Kakashi?"
"Ka... Kakashi..."
Obito's body instantly froze. His lips trembled. He didn't understand—clearly he'd done so much for his goddess, yet his goddess specifically remembered good friend Kakashi.
"Dead!" Yasushi delivered the finishing blow from the side with a grin. "Not only did Kakashi die, your teacher Minato Namikaze also died."
"Obito did it!"
"Because Minato Namikaze was late, causing your death, so Obito deeply hated Minato Namikaze. He specifically triggered the Nine-Tails rampage on the night Kushina gave birth."
"Minato Namikaze died that night!"
"What?" Rin's pupils instantly contracted to pinpoint size. She opened her mouth in shock, looking at Obito before her, feeling very unfamiliar.
After her resurrection, she'd been in restricted freedom status, unclear about outside intelligence.
So though seeing Obito's condition was strange, she'd always thought Obito was still that pure-hearted youth from years ago.
Though seeing Obito remained so foolish, completely manipulated by enemies, his purpose was to save herself—she'd actually been quite moved inside.
But now after Yasushi simply introduced Obito's glorious achievements over these years, Obito's image in Rin's heart instantly collapsed.
"Obito, you... how could you do this?" Rin's lips trembled, eyes full of disappointment.
"I..." Obito didn't dare face Rin's disappointed eyes. He could only turn his head away, not daring to look at her.
"Of course it's because of you!" Yasushi played matchmaker from the side with a grin. "Obito loves you!"
"Rin, don't you know?"
"Obito deeply loves you!"
"He loves you more than Kakashi, more than Minato Namikaze, more than his own clan members, more than Konoha Village, even more than this world!"
"He only wants to be with you."
"He wants to grow old with you, be united forever in heart, preferably producing several little Obitos."
"How about it, Rin? Are you moved?"
"You..." Rin felt both angry and furious, shouting loudly: "Obito, you big idiot!"
"I don't love you at all!"
"Who asked you to do so many insane things?"
"Under the pretense of loving me no less!"
"This is truly... unforgivable!"
"Boom"—Obito was struck down.
Sure enough, regarding damage, Rin's attacks had billion-fold bonus!
Obito's face turned ashen. His whole body trembled. He only felt the world spinning. The entire world seemed to suddenly become silent, with only those words "unforgivable" constantly echoing in his ears—and the sound grew louder and louder, gradually filling his entire mind.
No!
No!
"It's not like that!"
Obito murmured distractedly.
"Rin, you must forgive me!"
"I know I was wrong. Give me another chance!"
"I can't live without you!"
"I don't want to be separated from you!"
"I want you to be with me forever!"
But Rin completely ignored Obito's pleas. She looked at Obito before her, completely without defenses. Suddenly she reached over, snatching the ninja tool pouch from his waist, grabbing the kunai, and stabbing it into her own chest in one motion.
Fearing she wouldn't die, she even twisted the kunai once, thoroughly grinding her heart to pieces.
Then she finally released her hand with relief, her face once again showing a liberated smile.
This scene immediately scared Obito senseless.
He was struck as by lightning. His entire person went wooden. His breathing stopped for an instant, then he collapsed, embracing Rin, screaming crazily again.
"No! No! No!"
"Rin, why did you do this?"
"Rin, I don't want you to die!"
