TSSITWON Chapter 175: Aoki's Intentions Towards Rin
🕑 Added 2025-01-23 12:21:00 +0000 UTC"When you lie, the corner of your eye twitches for a moment. Although it rarely happens, I know you well enough to recognize that it's a sign you're not being honest. And just now, the corner of your eye twitched. You were also the one who asked me to lie to that girl, saying that we were in Hell, which shocked her and made her believe it. So, what exactly is your intention in deceiving that girl, Chairman?" Akarin said at length.
Akarin's face was serious, her eyes narrowed as if trying to pierce through Aoki's mask of calmness.
Aoki, who had been silent, suddenly smiled slightly, a smile full of mystery. "Do you want to know the reason?" Aoki asked, his tone sounding teasing.
"Of course!" Akarin replied quickly, curiosity evident on her face.
However, Aoki's smile widened a little before he said, "But I won't tell you."
Aoki immediately turned and walked away, leaving Akarin standing in place with a sulky expression. "Tch. You're always like this, Chairman," Akarin muttered softly, but loud enough for the wind to hear.

However, what Akarin did not know was the real reason behind Aoki's actions.
Aoki had two main reasons. First, Aoki wanted to ensure Rin's safety. Not just physically safe, but also strong enough to survive in a world filled with danger and tragedy.
Aoki knew that in the future, great chaos would ensue. Madara Uchiha might disappear, but the threats wouldn't stop there. There was still Black Zetsu, the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Zetsu army, Madara's resurrection, and even the emergence of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. If Rin was not trained and strengthened, she would only become a victim in this whirlwind of chaos.
Aoki did not want Rin to be a burden—neither to Kakashi, nor to Obito, and especially not to Aoki himself. Aoki wanted Rin to have the ability to protect herself, even if it meant forcing her through a path filled with tears and struggles.
The second reason was more personal. Aoki wanted to see the reaction of the reunion between Rin, Kakashi, and Obito.
The three of them were caught in a tragic cycle of misunderstandings. Kakashi and Rin believed Obito was dead. Obito and Kakashi thought Rin had died. On the other hand, Rin believed that both Kakashi and Obito had sacrificed their lives.
Aoki was curious about what would happen when these three met again. Would it be a reunion filled with tears, regrets, or even anger? How would they feel when all the lies and truths were revealed?
The thought made Aoki smile slightly as he walked away from Akarin. Aoki knew that for now, lies were the best path. Rin needed time to grow stronger, and the world needed time to reveal its hidden cards.
Behind Aoki's cold and mysterious demeanor, he harbored great hope—not just for Rin, but also for a better future.
Aoki walked with a calm stride, his mind filled with the grand plans he had devised.
Would Aoki allow Obito to become very evil? The answer was clear. Yes, for now, Aoki would let Obito play his role as the antagonist.
Because in Aoki's view, the world needed a great tragedy to create unity.
If the Fourth Shinobi World War did not happen, then the five great nations would continue to fight each other, prolonging the cycle of destruction and hatred. That war, no matter how horrific, was a path to temporary peace. That was why Aoki chose not to interfere with Obito.
However, Aoki also knew that he owed Obito. One day, Aoki would apologize to Obito.
