Obito Reborn With Double Kamui

Rin hesitated to speak. She wanted to persuade Kakashi, but the education she had received made her unsure how to refute him.

However, Obito sneered, "Kakashi, if it were the old me, I would have told you: Those who break the rules are trash, but those who don't cherish their comrades are worse than trash."

Kakashi's pupils shrank violently. These words rang like a morning bell in his heart.

But Obito's tone suddenly changed, "Now, I just want to tell you: Rules and regulations are made by people. If, in a village that emphasizes the Will of Fire, the rules and regulations force a hero who truly believes in that Will to make a painful choice—and in the end, not only does he not receive respect, but he's condemned by everyone—then perhaps those rules and regulations themselves are wrong."

These heretical words shocked both Rin and Kakashi simultaneously.

Rin even stepped forward immediately, wanting to cover Obito's mouth. Obito's bluntness was practically like pointing a finger at the rulers of Konoha and cursing them. Even though they were still young, they understood that some things just shouldn't be said.

But Obito gave Rin a reassuring look and continued speaking to Kakashi.

"Think about it. If White Fang abandoned his comrades and completed the mission, what do you think would have happened?"

"Would the villagers have thought White Fang had a high level of awareness, or would they have said he was just a cold-blooded, heartless person who got his comrades killed and wasn't worthy of trust?"

Kakashi froze on the spot, his face pale, his body swaying as if he could collapse at any moment.

He tried to refute, "N-No, that's not true. In the shinobi world, as long as the mission is completed, it's not wrong. No one would say anything."

Obito let out a cold laugh, "Kakashi, you're still too naive. Think about it: Would you rather have a comrade who would do anything to complete a mission, or one who values their comrades?"

Kakashi's eyes were filled with confusion, "I…"

But he stubbornly said, "If it's a necessary sacrifice, then what's wrong with doing whatever it takes to complete the mission? I'd be willing to partner with such a person."

Obito was so furious that he couldn't help but shout, "KAKASHI!"

Then, he spoke slowly.

"If you truly thought that way, you wouldn't have hesitated from the start. And even if you did, the majority of people would absolutely, absolutely not think like you."

"Because no one can guarantee that the next person sacrificed won't be themselves. Life is above all else. Out of self-preservation, people instinctively reject those who abandon their comrades."

"So, if White Fang had chosen to abandon his comrades to complete the mission, as long as the news spread, he would still have been drowned in spit."

Obito's words were irrefutable, shaking the very worldview of both Rin and Kakashi.

Rin trembled all over, her eyes darkening as she murmured, "How… how could this be? Wouldn't that mean that no matter what White Fang did, he was wrong?"

Obito spoke gently to Rin, "No, that's not it."

"The villagers are narrow-minded. They can't accurately measure how much needs to be sacrificed to complete a mission. So from their perspective, whether the mission fails or people die for the sake of completing it, it's a loss to the village. And since they're part of the village, it's natural for them to hold resentment."

After a pause, Obito deliberately glanced at Kakashi before continuing, "That's why, in the shinobi world, missions must be kept confidential. White Fang carried out high-level missions, and their secrecy level was extremely high. Kakashi, tell me—how did the details of White Fang's mission get leaked, to the point where everyone knew?"

"Unless… the ANBU under your father's command were a bunch of idiots who didn't know to contain the spread of information once it leaked? If every high-level mission were this unprotected, what secrets would Konoha even have in the eyes of other villages?"

"I don't want to beat around the bush with you anymore. A high-level mission being leaked and not stopped—unless this was orchestrated by Konoha's higher-ups themselves."

Leaving aside the impact these words had on Kakashi, Rin was already terrified.

"Obito, is… is that really true?"

Obito didn't deny it. He just patted Rin's shoulder and said, "Rin, don't be afraid. No matter what lies ahead, I will always protect you."

Only then did Rin feel slightly relieved, but her expression remained heavy, clearly unable to shake off the gloom in her heart so easily.

Obito sighed. He somewhat regretted saying all this in front of Rin.

Twenty-six years later, Rin would understand everything and accept everything. He was certain of that.

But he had forgotten—by that time, Rin had already experienced life and death, had even witnessed something on the road to the afterlife.

Rin was a kind person. So even when she saw the world's true nature, she still loved it.

But the current Rin was too young. The truth about Konoha was already too cruel for her.

However, since the words were already spoken, there was no taking them back. He believed Rin would overcome this, because he knew she was stronger than anyone.

Obito turned to look at Kakashi.

"Kakashi, you're a smart person. So I think you should understand by now."

"This mission itself was a trap set for White Fang. No matter what choice he made, he was doomed to be wrong."

Kakashi was drenched in cold sweat. Compared to Rin, he was the one who personally experienced everything, so the impact on him was even greater.

The more he thought about Obito's words, the colder he felt. He was already 70-80%, even 90% convinced. The last 10% wasn't because he didn't believe—it was because he didn't want to believe. He didn't dare to believe.

With a hoarse voice, he asked, "Obito… tell me… what should I do now?"

Kakashi was lost. If he admitted this was true, it meant he had to face a towering mountain—one that he simply had no power to climb at this moment.

Obito looked at Kakashi with a bit of pity. He swore, he really wasn't deliberately trying to smear Konoha. He had merely told the whole story as it was.

But just by telling the whole story, Konoha already looked as dark as could be. It was the same for Kakashi now, and for Sasuke, whom he had convinced in his past life.

Honestly, at least regarding this matter, Sarutobi Hiruzen might not have had too much malice. Even from a political standpoint, the Hatake clan was firmly loyal to the Hokage faction—trustworthy and reliable.

So even Obito couldn't understand—what the hell was Konoha doing?

After a brief thought, he looked at Kakashi, "Forget it. I won't analyze it for you anymore. I'll just tell you the conclusion. Sarutobi Hiruzen may not have had much bad intent—maybe a little, but not much. As the village's supreme leader, he inevitably had to deal with darkness. His indecisive personality led him to make many mistakes, but your grudge with him isn't that deep."

"Just remember one person—Shimura Danzo. He's the true culprit behind your father's death. In fact, in the future, if anything dirty happens and you can't find out who did it, don't even think about it—it's definitely him."
