Impure World Rin's words, to Young Obito, Young Rin, and Old Obito, seemed romantic.
But to the Five Kage, especially the Fourth Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage, it wasn't the same matter at all.
Onoki's feet left the ground, floating before Impure World Rin, pointing at the Old Obito in the sky, "Little girl, I know Uchiha Obito is a very important person in your life."
"But as you also said, there are many of his actions that you don't agree with. Since that's the case, you should all the more pull him back, not let him persist in his mistaken ways."
Impure World Rin shook her head, said to Onoki, "Do you know why Obito became like this today? Do you know, if not for an accident, he would've already died?"
Onoki nodded, "Information on Uchiha Obito, Konoha has already shared with us. On the surface, he died in the war between us and Iwagakure…"
As if recalling something, Onoki couldn't help but sigh, "Kannabi Bridge, ah. What I remember most from that time was your teacher, Konoha's Yellow Flash Namikaze Minato. He made us lose over fifty shinobi in an instant…"
Seeing this, Impure World Rin said, "Lord Tsuchikage, you see, what you remember most about that war is only my teacher who later became Hokage."
"As for the lives and deaths of other individuals… you wouldn't keep them in your heart. If not for Obito planning to initiate Infinite Tsukuyomi now, you wouldn't even have had the chance to know him…"
Onoki admitted honestly, "That's right. In war, too many people die. Not to mention foreign shinobi, even shinobi from our own country, I can't possibly remember them all."
"What appears before this old man… might only be a name. Sometimes, maybe not even a name, just a string of numbers…", Pausing, Onoki sighed.
"But a person's thoughts and ideas can change. In the Fourth Great Ninja War, I realized the errors of my past methods, which is why I've tried my best to make up for them."
"I want to protect the Allied Shinobi Forces behind me. No matter what country or village they come from, I don't want them to follow Uchiha Obito into eternal slumber."
"Little girl, can you fulfill this old man's wish?"
Impure World Rin smiled slightly, "Lord Tsuchikage, it is remarkable that you can change your mindset and fight for justice."
"But, you should also know, some things, once they've happened, can no longer be made up for."
Rin's eyes flickered with a trace of regret, a trace of pain, and a trace of guilt, "Obito died in order to save me. I have no right to persuade him to turn back. And as the instigator of the war at the time, you, you are the root cause of this tragedy. You don't have the right either."
Onoki didn't know what to say for a moment. Finally, he just said, "So that's how it is. So, you still hold a grudge against Iwagakure, the village that killed your comrade, and against me, the leader of the village, so you're unwilling to cooperate?"
Rin shook her head, "No. I admit, I naturally hold resentment in my heart. But after so many years, I'm already a dead person. Even the greatest resentment has dissipated."
"I just want to say, the path Obito has walked is one you all have never experienced. His current actions, even if I don't agree with them, I also understand that they contain his own sense of justice. You fight for justice, so does he."
"After all, Obito once had a heart full of love. Although many things have changed, his essence has not. He just wants to create a world that's more beautiful than this one."
Onoki hadn't yet spoken when Raikage A couldn't help but grow angry, "So he has to go crazy and drag the whole world into eternal slumber? Does he still think of himself as so noble? Even if he really believes that, how many people will refuse to accept his 'kindness'?"
Impure World Rin fell silent.
Perhaps from Obito's perspective, there was nothing wrong with Infinite Tsukuyomi.
She was only viewing the matter from the most basic emotions.
It's hard to say… that Infinite Tsukuyomi wasn't the correct path.
The most incorrect part of it, was just like how the Five Kage summoned her through Impure World Reincarnation. During the entire process, they never considered her own opinion. They were forcing her to make a choice she didn't want to make…
Raikage saw Rin go silent, and continued.
"Looks like you do know right from wrong. So why not try to change Uchiha Obito's thinking?"
Impure World Rin waited a moment before replying, "Then let me ask you back, Lord Raikage, if Obito gave up on his plan now, what would you all do to him?"
A immediately understood what Impure World Rin meant. He hesitated a moment before replying, "I can promise not to kill him, and will make sure he doesn't cause more trouble. He'll be imprisoned, covered in sealing jutsu… until the end of his life."
Rin shook her head, "That's not what Obito wants to see, nor what I wish for. Sorry, I will not do anything to distract Obito in this battle."
Truth be told, Impure World Rin's personality was exactly to Raikage's taste. She didn't wrong herself to please others, nor did she act out of selfish desires, forcibly making a wrong thing seem right.
But… this is war. A war concerning the entire world.
Raikage could only say, "Little girl, you should understand, we are not negotiating with you. In this life-or-death situation, whether you like it or not, Uchiha Obito must be stopped."
"If you won't act, don't forget: the Impure World Reincarnated can be controlled completely."
After saying that, Raikage looked at Tsunade, "Hokage, bring out the thing Orochimaru gave you."
Tsunade was extremely unwilling, angrily said, "Raikage, don't you think this is going too far?"
Raikage said, "Can't you see? This little girl is essentially on Uchiha Obito's side. And what makes it especially troublesome is, she understands everything. This is no longer something… cough, cough… that can be reasoned through."
Raikage extended a hand to Tsunade.
"Nohara Rin is a Konoha shinobi. I know you have concerns. For the future of the ninja world, let me be the villain," Tsunade hesitated again and again, finally gritted her teeth, and brought out the charm given to her by Orochimaru that could control Rin.
Impure World Rin looked at this scene without surprise.
She also understood what the Five Kage wanted to achieve by summoning her, a deceased person. And since the goal couldn't be achieved, naturally they would use any means necessary.
She only reminded, "Lords, although an Impure World body can be controlled, during control, it no longer represents my own will. That means, I am no longer me, just an empty shell."
"At that moment, I am already a dead person. I cannot be destroyed physically. The Impure World Reincarnated body can regenerate endlessly. If you wish to use me to threaten Obito… that's simply wishful thinking."
