TSSITWON Chapter 193: Obito's Resolve
🕑 Added 2025-02-10 12:10:18 +0000 UTCObito's gaze was filled with newly born darkness.
"I am in hell."
Obito walked slowly, the pool of blood beneath his feet felt warm, mingling with the piercing aroma of flesh. Each step Obito took reflected the dim moonlight, creating shadows that seemed to sway on the sticky surface.
The night air felt silent, accompanied only by the soft whisper of the wind, as if carrying the whispers of souls that had fallen on the battlefield.
As Obito walked, a familiar voice echoed in his head, a voice that had long lingered in his thoughts.
"The longer you live..."
"The more you realize that this reality is filled only with pain, suffering, and emptiness..."
Madara Uchiha's voice sounded cold and deep, resonating in the recesses of Obito's mind.
"Listen... In this world... Wherever there is light, there will also be shadows..."
"It is a simple relationship that cannot be avoided... In a normal way..."
Obito continued to walk without hesitation, passing by Kakashi's body lying on the ground. Kakashi's breath was still there, but weak—so weak it was almost inaudible. Kakashi's face was covered in blood and dust, while the sword that had once pierced Rin now lay beside Kakashi, glimmering faintly under the moonlight.
Obito did not stop.
However, as Obito drew closer to Rin's body, another memory surfaced in his mind.
"Madara wants to eliminate all the bad things in this world and create a dream world filled with peace...!"
Zetsu White's voice echoed in Obito's mind, reminding him of the purpose behind it all.
Obito stopped.
Before him, Rin's lifeless body lay on the blood-soaked ground. Rin's brown hair was splayed out, partially covering her face, which now looked so peaceful—too peaceful for someone who died in the midst of battle. Rin's eyes were closed, her lips slightly parted as if she were about to say something she never had the chance to express.
Obito reached out his hand, wanting to touch the girl's face, wanting to feel the warmth that might still remain. But as Obito's fingers almost touched Rin's skin, a wave of fear enveloped him. Obito closed his eyes.
And at that moment—
Obito's hand pierced through Rin's throat, as if his own body was not a part of this world.
Obito's eyes widened. His body tensed, his heart raced. Obito quickly pulled his hand back, staring at Rin with disbelief. What had just happened?
"In a dream, everything goes according to your wishes..."
Madara's voice echoed again in Obito's head.
Obito bit his lip, then once again tried to touch Rin's neck.
Nothing changed. Obito's fingers once again penetrated the girl's body, as if Obito were merely a shadow unable to touch the real world.
"You can even bring back the dead."
Those words pierced deep into Obito's mind.
Obito gazed at Rin's pale face, then trembling, he touched Rin's cheek. There was nothing Obito could feel, no warmth, no life. Yet, in Obito's mind, he could imagine Rin opening her eyes, smiling at him, speaking to him as she used to.
Tears slowly flowed from the corners of Obito's eyes.
"A world full of peace... A world of winners... A world filled with love..."
Obito took a deep breath, where he held back the suffocation that was tightening his chest. He then lifted Rin's head, looking at her with deep sorrow.
"Rin... I will..." Obito's voice trembled, almost inaudible.
"I will create a world where you are still alive..."
The moonlight shone brightly above them, as if witnessing the vow spoken by Obito.
"Changing fate... This world..." Obito murmured with determination, before finally closing his eyes, allowing his last tears to fall and wet Rin's cheek.
