Rin’s anxiety finally eased a little when she saw Obito wake up.
After Obito fell unconscious, she ran back to the Konoha Military Police Force headquarters.
Only with the help of the adults there was she able to take Obito to Konoha Hospital.
Obito’s grandmother was taken there as well.
However, after examining her, the doctors confirmed that she had already passed away.
From that moment on, Obito no longer had any living relatives in this world.
Rin felt very sad and didn’t want to mention it in front of Obito.
She merely asked with concern, “Obito, are you… feeling better now?”
Obito lowered his head guiltily, his hands involuntarily gripping the white bedsheets.
“Rin, I’m sorry for making you worry. I should have been stronger.”
Rin finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Obito was no longer in the strange state he had entered when his Sharingan awakened.
That state had been extremely abnormal, almost as though his mind had been forcibly twisted.
She immediately comforted him.
“No, Obito. No one could remain unaffected after experiencing something like this. As you said, Grandma was already old. She passed away peacefully, which can be considered a blessing. Mom said that passing peacefully at an old age isn’t something we should only mourn.”
Obito nodded firmly.
Although he was still sad, he didn’t want Rin to worry about him.
Instead, he put on a determined expression and said:
“You’re right. I need to keep moving forward. Don’t worry, Rin. I won’t let this keep me down.”
Rin, however, became a little curious.
“Obito, do you remember what happened before you lost consciousness?”
Obito froze.
His memories from before he lost consciousness had become extremely vague.
He only remembered feeling so sad and heartbroken that he eventually blacked out.
Pretending to be carefree, he raised a hand and scratched his head.
“Sorry, Rin. I don’t remember.”
Rin’s heart trembled slightly.
So Obito had already forgotten about awakening his Sharingan.
Before this, Obito had always hoped to awaken his Sharingan and obtain great power.
But if the price of awakening the Sharingan—what the notebook called intense emotional stimulation—was losing the person closest to him…
Rin was certain that Obito would never want such a thing to happen.
Therefore, it would be better not to tell him about his awakened Sharingan for now.
With that thought, Rin said, “Clan Head Fugaku visited the hospital earlier. He asked me to tell you that the Uchiha clan will cover your medical expenses and the cost of your grandmother’s funeral. You don’t need to worry about anything.”
“Clan Head Fugaku also said that the clan would regularly provide you with financial support, ensuring that you can live without difficulties.” You are reading on novelping dot com, the official source.
“Obito, although your clansmen are all very proud, they truly take care of their own people. Sometimes, I even envy them.”
Obito nodded, knowing that Rin was saying this to ease his sadness, and smiled slightly.
“Rin, I’ll find an opportunity to thank Clan Head Fugaku.”
“It’s already late. You should go home and rest. We’ll see each other tomorrow, and I’ll arrive at school on time.”
Rin was still a little worried, but her parents didn’t allow her to return home too late.
Because of her strict upbringing, she still had to leave.
However, before leaving, she wanted to make Obito feel happier so that she wouldn’t have to constantly worry about him.
What could she do?
Rin suddenly remembered the one-time use of the Mangekyō Sharingan genjutsu Tsukuyomi that she had received as a reward.
According to the notebook’s description, this jutsu could place someone inside a beautiful dream.
If she could remove its fatal effects, perhaps she could use it to make Obito happy.
At that thought, Rin touched the notebook in her satchel and casually made up an excuse.
“Obito, I’m going out for a moment. I’ll be right back.”
After saying that, she ran out of the ward, found an empty corridor, and took out her notebook.
She opened it and asked, “Notebook, what kind of genjutsu is Tsukuyomi? Can it be used in the real world?”
A line of text slowly appeared in the notebook.
[This jutsu can be used in reality. As for how to use it, I already know. I’m simply too stupid to realize it.]
Rin’s cheeks immediately puffed up.
This notebook was truly sharp-tongued.
The “I” in its message was obviously referring to her.
However, after seeing the notebook’s hint, she couldn’t help but close her eyes.
She then discovered that a new power had appeared within her eyes.
She could activate it with a single thought.
This power felt similar to the cold aura she had previously sensed from Obito, but it was far stronger and more profound.
Moreover, she had inexplicably gained an instinctive understanding of this power.
It could pull people into another world, and the nature of that world depended entirely on how the caster chose to shape it.
The power could destroy someone on a mental level, but it didn’t have to be used that way.
It could also simply allow someone to experience a dream.
Rin became excited.
Her deduction had been correct.
At that thought, she stuffed the notebook back into her bag and ran to the ward.
Obito watched Rin run out and then return with a bewildered expression.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Rin, what are you doing?”
However, Rin merely ran to Obito’s bedside and sat down.
“Obito, there’s no time to explain. Can you look directly into my eyes?”
Obito’s small face turned slightly red.
What was Rin doing?
Could it be…?
Obito’s breathing quickened, and even the sadness caused by his grandmother’s death faded slightly.
He looked earnestly into Rin’s eyes, his gaze filled with anticipation.
Rin inexplicably felt that Obito’s gaze was a little too intense.
She became flustered and wanted to look away, but she managed to hold herself back.
She said, “Obito, I’m going to give you a beautiful dream.”
After saying that, she closed her eyes and opened them again, completely releasing the power contained within them.
At that moment, Obito, who was staring into Rin’s large, beautiful eyes, suddenly noticed that they had changed.
They had become somewhat similar to the Sharingan, yet they were also very different.
The pattern was even more complex than that of the three-tomoe Sharingan, resembling a slightly curved shuriken.
Obito watched as the curved shuriken began to rotate faster and faster.
At the same time, bloody tears began flowing from the corners of Rin’s eyes.
Obito was overwhelmed with shock.
Just as he was about to ask what was happening, his consciousness suddenly began to fade.
Soon, he was completely drawn into the genjutsu world…
Seeing this, Rin began shaping Obito’s dream according to her own ideas, hoping to make him as happy as possible.
However, no matter how she changed the dream—even resurrecting Obito’s grandmother and parents so that the family could reunite or allowing Obito to become Hokage—none of it seemed capable of bringing him complete happiness.
Why was that?
Rin tried adding Kakashi, but it still wasn’t enough.
Finally, she remembered to add herself as well.
The moment she added herself, the world seemed to become complete.
Rin was very happy.
It turned out that, without realizing it, she had become an extremely important person in Obito’s life.
However, when she became curious and began closely observing what was happening between herself and Obito in the genjutsu world, her face quickly turned red…
Obito—Obito had actually kissed her in secret within the genjutsu.
It really helps the fic grow!
