Clearly, when Obito called Kakashi, Rin, and the others to talk earlier, it wasn't because he was dying and his words were kind, but because it was the right moment… he had thought of a plan to execute next.
And now, this was precisely the effect Obito wanted. Kakashi, because Obito gave him the eyes under the pretext of there being White Fang, was completely controlled.
Rin was weak, unable to pose any hindrance.
And the strongest, Kushina, was completely off-guard due to her emotional turmoil over Minato's appearance, facing Obito's feigned demeanor!
At the same time, Kushina also didn't have a particular understanding or regard for Obito's strength.
She probably still thought Obito was the weakling he used to be!
So now, Kushina paid the price for her arrogance!
"Obito!"
Looking at the drastically changed situation before her, Rin was shocked.
She didn't understand how, one moment, everyone was fine, and the next, it suddenly became like this.
Rin stared wide-eyed at Obito, not knowing what to say.
This was understandable. After all, Rin had stayed with Sora for so long, long losing a Ninja's vigilance. She had become a golden canary in a cage, a caged bird, without wings.
Fortunately, although her wings were clipped, Rin still retained some of her former Ninja Qualities.
Knowing she couldn't intervene between Kushina and Obito, Rin ran to Kakashi's side, quickly checking his condition.
And Kakashi's condition was also clear at a glance.
Obito had done something to his eyes. Now Kakashi's Mangekyo Sharingan had naturally activated.
For its current user, the Mangekyo Sharingan imposed a technique.
Having experience with Blut implantation, Rin had some idea. She planned to use a Chakra Scalpel to cut off the Chakra Flow direction.
But having an idea didn't mean she could do it. When Rin condensed her Chakra Scalpel and cut down, she suddenly realized that Obito's Chakra was so hard and her Chakra compared to his was like cotton candy to concrete.
No matter how sharp, how could cotton candy cut concrete?
Watching Rin's actions, Obito mocked. "It's useless, Rin. The power of the Mangekyo Sharingan is not something you can break. Of course, if it were my Rin, she might be able to, but you, an impostor, definitely can't!"
Hearing Obito's words, Rin was furious.
"What do you mean 'your Rin', 'impostor'? I am the real Nohara Rin, okay? Obito, what on earth is wrong with you? Did someone modify your brain with a Genjutsu?"
Rin angrily scolded Obito.
Having stayed in Kirigakure, Rin's verbal attacks were full-powered.
But her words again became evidence for Obito.
"See, see? I knew my Rin would never speak such vulgar words."
Obito said triumphantly: "In my impression, Nohara Rin was a gentle, kind girl who never spoke harshly to me."
Hearing this, Rin was speechless.
"Did you get your brain slammed in a door today? What exactly is wrong with you, Obito?"
"People change. Moreover, I was captured and taken to Kirigakure for so many years. Instead, I feel you don't accept the reality of my capture at all."
As she spoke, Rin's expression changed. She thought of something:
"Wait, Obito! Haven't you always seen me as your possession from the beginning? So if I'm not what you want, I'm not your Nohara Rin!"
Saying this, Rin was both angry and amused.
'How could there be such an ordinary, confident man in this world?'
'I was captured, but this person, while saying he valued me so much, never actually did anything about my existence, yet also demanded I be this way and that!'
Clearly, the two of them didn't have any actual relationship… they were just classmates, friends, teammates.
But such a relationship wasn't strong when truly considered, and very fragile. Otherwise, in the Ninja World, there wouldn't be so many betrayals every year.
"Obito, I've realized, you're just a kid unwilling to face reality, always wanting to escape it!"
Rin said angrily: "Heh, and I used to think you were gentle and kind. Turns out those were illusions. Your essence is just a kid!"
"Even now, Obito, you haven't grown up!"
"Obito, I look down on you!!"
Rin scolded Obito.
Hearing Rin's words, Obito was both angry and dumbfounded.
Because the reality was truly like this, and he really was such a person.
But getting someone to accept criticism, accept their own mistakes, is difficult.
"Shut up, you impostor!"
Obito said very angrily.
"My actions are not for you to judge!!"
"Impostor, don't make me kill you!!"
Obito appeared very emotionally agitated.
His hand subconsciously tightened, gripping Kushina beside him, who let out another pained groan.
Clearly, in their Chakra tug-of-war, because Kushina was injured first, she was now at a disadvantage.
