Uchiha Obito stared at the mark on Uchiha Rin's arm.
He had seen similar black marks, only Aomi would use the Flying Thunder God Seal...
A mark on Rin's arm?
At first glance, it seemed strange, with a sense of unsettling betrayal.
But when Uchiha Obito recognized the Flying Thunder God mark as his own stylized name...
Then it was fine.
"During the time I was trapped by Uchiha Madara, it seems a lot has happened..." Uchiha Obito pondered sorrowfully, muttering to himself:
"Aomi must have rushed over from the Hidden Mist Battlefield upon hearing the news of my death, right?"
"Placed a Flying Thunder God mark on Rin's arm and used my name as the style..."
Uchiha Obito's heart warmed, yet felt a bit sour.
Aomi was reminding Rin not to forget him!
Not to forget this lover who had sacrificed his life for her, using a permanent Flying Thunder God Seal to carve his name forever on Rin's arm, strangely possessing a twisted beauty.
Somewhat cruel, but it aligned with Uchiha Obito's understanding of Aomi...
In Uchiha Obito's eyes, Aomi and Uchiha Rin had no real connection, and only knew each other due to Obito.
Uchiha Obito couldn't help but ponder—
If he was truly dead, not saved by Uchiha Madara...
Would he want the surviving Uchiha Rin to remember him, or start a new life with another man?
Just thinking of this scenario made Uchiha Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan filled with sinister and violent power, murderous intent bursting forth!
Rationally speaking, if he was truly gone, Uchiha Obito hoped Uchiha Rin would start anew, not constantly remember him.
But on an emotional level, should anyone interfere with Uchiha Rin after his death, he would kill them even if he came back through the Reanimation Jutsu!
The conflict was so intense.
The best Uchiha Rin in the world could only belong to him, absolutely not shareable with anyone else!
Aomi inscribed his name on Uchiha Rin's arm, which didn't respect her, but fit with the darkest corners of Uchiha Obito's heart...
All one could say was, as expected of Aomi!
Thinking of this, Uchiha Obito couldn't help recalling his past doubts about Aomi's feelings for Nohara Rin, and in this desolate blood-red land, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of guilt.
How could he be so damnable?
Such a good brother, yet he previously speculated with dark thoughts?!
"Aomi, Aomi..." Uchiha Obito painfully muttered this name, his emotions growing even more agitated under intense stimulation.
"Aomi marked the Flying Thunder God on Rin's body not only for me, but also to protect her during the war..."
Uchiha Obito didn't know who he was talking to, but speaking out loud seemed to ease the pressure in his heart, so much so that both Zetsu and Aomi could hear his words.
"Aomi must have told Rin to summon him with the Flying Thunder God mark if she encountered danger, he didn't want to see Rin die in war like he did!"
Zetsu couldn't hold it together upon hearing this.
No, are you crazy? Obito!
"Oh, the logic is quite clear..."
Aomi's eyes shimmered with power, combining Genjutsu True Life, Mujin Meisai, and Demonic Illusion: Steaming Multistoried Building Jutsu to conceal his presence entirely, boldly wrapping an arm around Zetsu's shoulder, moving toward Uchiha Obito.
Zetsu turned his head in terror to look at Aomi, eyes full of resistance yet not daring to resist too forcefully, fearing that Uchiha Obito would hear any noise.
This bastard is playing way too big a game!
At one moment horrifyingly precise with unfathomable strategies, and at another a madman spiraling into chaos...
Zetsu really didn't want to stay around Aomi much longer, these kinds of shocks were unbearable even for him, with his millennia of experience as a backstage hand.
Brother, stop torturing me, I'm having a hard time!
Aomi and Zetsu stopped a few steps away from Uchiha Obito, his low murmurs becoming even clearer, and the constantly twisting expressions on Uchiha Obito's face were all too visible.
Zetsu gazed at the blood scabs on Uchiha Obito's face, and although heartless, it felt the weight of being missed, and wondered what that sensation truly was...
"When the soul is loved, flesh and blood grow madly..."
Aomi's voice sounded at this moment, scaring Zetsu into sharply turning his head, thinking what would happen if Obito heard this?
Yet Aomi didn't mind at all, smiling at him with eyes that bore the same Dual Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan as Uchiha Obito, continuing in his own way: "Your feelings for Uchiha Obito are truly touching..."
"Just don't know if, when you meet again, if your guilty conscience will allow you to show him the same smile as before?"
A guilty conscience...
Zetsu's heart jolted; had it not done so much, still for reviving Mother Kaguya?
Did you think I did these things for a love story with Uchiha Obito?
How shallow!
But watching the deceived Obito, Zetsu's anger and resentment towards Aomi seemed fearful, unable to coalesce even within its own mind.
If this lunatic Aomi truly informed Obito of the truth...
Then it would all be over!
The revival of Mother Kaguya could only depend on this dangerous man, and its heart would be on the verge of breaking, with Obito certainly falling completely into madness...
