Chapter 413: Invitation
"Are you planning to continue with the Eye of the Moon Plan, using the Infinite Tsukuyomi to plunge the entire world into an illusion, or do you want to be the Obito Uchiha you used to be?" Nagasawa asked Obito.
Obito stared directly at Nagasawa, not avoiding his gaze, and replied, "It seems I’m not that smart in your eyes. After learning the truth, I can’t just continue going down a path that has already been proven wrong."
"Indeed," Nagasawa nodded, acknowledging that Obito was indeed not that smart.
"Although I’d like to say I want to go back to being my old self, I can’t just pretend nothing happened," Obito said, looking down at his hands. Due to being beaten by Nagasawa, they were covered in dust and dirt.
But in Obito’s eyes, there was not only dust and dirt but also blood that couldn’t be washed away.
He had killed so many people, and there was no turning back.
Although it might sound hypocritical for a Shinobi whose life was always accompanied by killing, Obito killed not enemies or wandering rogue Shinobis but many unrelated people.
To make Nagato despair and show him how brutal this world was, Obito killed all the members of the Akatsuki.
To weaken Konoha, he also killed several Shinobi that guarded Kushina.
He had done too many wrong things that he could not go back to being who he was just because he wanted to.
If he had the Rinnegan like his future self, he would make the same choice: resurrect the innocent people he had killed.
