Obito Reborn With Double Kamui

On the other side, Obito rested his head on Rin's lap, letting the blood from the wounds on his face trickle down.

Rin felt a pang of heartache and wanted to wipe it away, but thinking that this was Obito's way of atoning, a means to lessen the guilt in his heart, she held back.

Softly, Rin said, "Obito, this is meaningless. We still have a mission outside the village today. Punishing yourself like this won't help the team."

Obito chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Maybe. I always mess things up. Even after fixing my bad habit of being late, I still keep causing trouble for you all."

Then, noticing the gloom in Rin's eyes, he wanted to cheer her up and teased, "Rin, was that just now a confession?"

Hearing this, Rin's face turned slightly red, but she didn't deny it, "If you say so, then it is."

Obito burst into laughter, "Rin, in my past life, my biggest regret was never confessing to you before I died. I never imagined that in this life, you'd confess to me first. Right now, I must be the happiest person in the world."

However, Rin didn't seem as happy as he was. Instead, she looked at Obito with concern, her tone carrying a hint of anxiety, "Obito… will this be the last time?"

Obito's heart trembled slightly, and he quickly explained, "Rin, I know Big Sis Kushina is kind-hearted. She's just hot-tempered, but she wouldn't kill me."

Rin shook her head and looked up at the sky, speaking softly, "Obito, do you know? I'm just an ordinary girl. I, too, once dreamed that one day, a boy would appear in my life, cherish me, and give me the whole world."

"I'm lucky because that boy really did appear. Even though he always seems to have trouble taking care of himself and needs me to worry about him, even though he acts clumsy… he cherishes me so much that after losing me in the future, he was even willing to become the enemy of the whole world."

Obito's heart clenched tightly.

Rin smiled faintly and continued, "When I heard that you declared war on the Five Great Nations at the Five Kage Summit just to create a world where I existed… even though I knew it was wrong, I still thought… you were so cool at that moment."

"Because you were just like the perfect dream lover we girls secretly talk about, mysterious and powerful, handsome and devoted, willing to give up everything for the girl you love."

"Such a person should only exist in dreams, and yet, you appeared, standing right beside me. When I think about it, I really am a lucky girl."

For a moment, Obito's heart was in turmoil.

In his past life, when he was younger, didn't he also dream of one day defeating the strongest person he knew, Kakashi. And appearing before Rin as a cool, powerful figure to win her heart?

Later… he actually achieved that. He became incredibly powerful. But by then, Rin was gone, and the hole in his heart swallowed him whole. What meaning did strength have anymore?

He would rather have never changed at all. He didn't want the Mangekyō Sharingan, he didn't want anything, he just wanted Rin to still be alive.

But everything had changed. The world had turned into hell. He didn't even want Rin to continue living in such a world.

Rin continued speaking, "Obito, years ago, I said that since I was just an ordinary girl, I had to have a strong heart. I wanted to become a powerful kunoichi like Lady Tsunade."

"But… that's not easy. That's why I was drawn to Kakashi, because he was just like the strong figure I had dreamed of, someone I admired."

"But later, I realized… I overlooked you. Kakashi was like the sun in the sky, so perfect that all I could do was look up to him."

"But you… even though you weren't as dazzling, you were warm and bright. No matter how many times you fell, you always got back up. Even though you were a fool, you never gave up."

"That kind of spirit was something I could truly aspire to. It encouraged me and made me stronger. Looking back now, you had already become my pillar of support, the light in my world. And so, without realizing it, I also wanted to be your support, the light in your world."

"Later, when you returned from the future, you carried an even stronger presence, even outshining Kakashi."

"Just like that, the sunny, cheerful boy and the mysterious, powerful warrior slowly became one person—you. Maybe from that moment on… I had already fallen for you," As Rin spoke, her voice gradually carried a trace of shyness. She was baring her heart completely before the person she loved.

At the same time, her tone became firmer.

"Obito, you've told me more than once that I don't have to worry because you will protect me."

"So I'm asking you again—can you truly do that?"

Without hesitation, Obito answered, "I swear, even if I have to die, I will—"

Tears welled up in Rin's eyes as she placed a finger over his lips, silencing him, "Obito… maybe you've faced death too many times. Maybe for you, dying isn't so scary anymore."

"But protecting me… if you die, then you can't fulfill that promise anymore. Obito… I don't want you to die."

Obito was stunned. He had never thought about it from Rin's perspective before. At this moment, he suddenly realized, he was carrying a heavy responsibility.

Rin continued, "Obito, in our past life, why did you hold so much resentment towards Kakashi? Why did you keep fighting him?"

Obito thought for a moment and replied, "Because of you, Rin. I was afraid that Kakashi would take you away from me and disappear from my world."

Rin's eyes glistened with tears, "Then, Obito, right now, I feel the same way. I'm also afraid that one day… you will disappear."

Obito trembled, "No… that won't happen. It will never happen."

But Rin pressed him, "Are you sure?"

"Because you've already shown more than once that you don't value your own life. You've made it clear that for various reasons, you're willing to throw your life away."

Rin's voice trembled, "I'm… scared."

"I'm scared that you'll leave me alone."

Obito froze in place. Finally, he understood why Rin had such a strong reaction today.

It wasn't because he got beaten up by Big Sis Kushina.

It was because, in that moment, when Kushina was punishing him, he showed that indifferent attitude toward his own life.

Obito closed his eyes.

Rin was his everything.

But his life… wasn't just his own anymore.

This was a dilemma he had never faced before.

If Big Sis Kushina appeared before him now and told him to die as an act of atonement—

Could he refuse?

…He wasn't sure if he could.
