A monster isn't created in a day. Trying to make Uchiha Obito have a sudden change of heart is almost impossible, and Naruto also had no such intention.
‘You speak so extremely, Uchiha Obito, are you trying to clear yourself of this?
Naruto narrowed his eyes, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head, and he caught a loophole.
‘Before Nohara Rin's death, it seemed that the two had never clearly revealed their relationship.’
‘In other words, the relationship between the two was all imagined by Uchiha Obito. After all, Nohara Rin was dead, and she couldn't have raised any objection.’
‘Even if she knew about this in the Pure Land, would she pop out of her coffin, shyly denying it, saying, "We... we were just good friends, you know.”.’
He knew exactly what kind of extreme psychology Obito had, but he also had a clear understanding of the mindset of a young girl like Rin.
Had she ever liked Obito in the past? Naruto didn't know, but if he was asked whether Rin still liked the crazy Obito in front of her, the answer was obvious.
Looking back, the two of them had never fully expressed their feelings for each other. At most, it was just a vague, hazy emotion. The affection between young boys and girls is beautiful yet fragile, and a bad impression can destroy all the beauty.
Which side will the swaying scale lean to? Love, or... never loved?
In this situation, Rin definitely wouldn't bring up such a topic, nor would she tell the truth. This gave Naruto room to manipulate, to make Obito believe that Rin had never liked him.
Would Obito believe it? That was uncertain, but there’s no way he could remain indifferent either.
In any case, these are the chips that Naruto can grasp at this stage.
"Shut up!" Uchiha Obito glared at him.
"Heh." Naruto ignored him, but didn't dare to provoke him too much. He glanced at Obito, and an idea suddenly popped into his head.
‘That bastard Black Zetsu probably didn't tell Uchiha Obito the truth about the trash I said. Should I repeat it myself?’
He turned to look at Rin beside him and suddenly asked, "Do you like him?"
"What?" Rin was also stunned. She turned to look at Naruto, and then immediately reacted, "Why are you asking this at this time?"
"Because that monster likes you. You died, and he wants to destroy the world. He killed my parents and many innocent people."
Naruto's voice was calm, and he tilted his head slightly to glance at her.
"Now that you know everything, are you moved? Since that guy likes you so much, why don't you tell him? Do you like Uchiha Obito?"
He asked a question that was completely unrelated to the current situation, but it attracted Obito's attention, and his eye involuntarily stared at Rin.
Obito could deny that the reanimated Rin wasn't the real Rin, because the real Rin was dead. Even if Naruto used Rin to threaten him, Obito could still deny it.
After all, Rin's death was an indisputable fact. And the consciousness of a reanimated person only remained up to the moment of their death, while Rin's soul was now resting in the Pure Land.
But to Obito's surprise, Naruto didn't seem to intend to use Rin to threaten him. Instead, he asked an unrelated question, catching Obito off guard.
Almost instantly, Obito realized something. Even if the reanimated Rin wasn't the real Rin, she represented everything about Rin before her death.
After death, a person no longer has consciousness, and their soul returns to the Pure Land. Therefore, all emotions, whether love or hate, are based on the moment before death.
This also meant that the answer given by the reanimated Rin represented the real Rin. In a sense, she was still Rin.
Obito stared intently at Rin, and Naruto also looked at her. The situation suddenly reversed, and Rin, who was at the center of the storm, was completely stunned.
"Do you like him?" Naruto's words were not fast, but his tone was pressing.
"I…" Rin took another step back. She didn't understand why someone would ask such a thing at this time, "I…"
While Rin was still stammering, Naruto lost patience and asked directly, "Do you like Kakashi?"
"No, no, no!!" Rin shook her head in panic, without any hesitation, "Kakashi is actually very gentle and kind, but we're just companions!”
As a veteran, Naruto could tell at a glance that Rin had some feelings for Kakashi. Her immediate denial was due to panic, and her answer was because there had never been an opportunity.
Back then, Kakashi was similar to Sasuke, burdened with dark thoughts and resentment toward the village. He focused solely on training, with no room for women in his heart.
Women in the Land of Fire generally admired strength. Kakashi was handsome, aloof, and incredibly strong, with high emotional intelligence. Even Guy recognized his charm.
But Kakashi had no interest in women, and he could tell that Obito had feelings for Rin, which is also why he always kept his distance from her.
So even if Rin had some feelings, they gradually shifted from vague feelings to admiration for her companion. She would deny it without any hesitation because she knew Kakashi didn't care.
"If you don't like Kakashi, then do you like him?" Naruto pressed further.
"No! It's not like that!" Rin instinctively waved her hands. Perhaps because she had just directly denied it, the psychological burden was relieved.
"So you don't like him?"
"No! It's not that kind of like."
The current Rin was still a teenage girl after all, so she was easily confused by Naruto's words. Without realizing it, she blurted out the truth.
"We are companions who trust each other. How could romantic feelings develop between teammates?"
‘There, the goal has been achieved.’
Naruto turned his head to look at Uchiha Obito not far away with a smile on his face, and said sarcastically, "How is it? Did you hear it clearly? Do you want me to repeat it for you? You are just ordinary friends, how could romantic feelings develop between you?"
After saying that, he didn't give Rin a chance to explain. He waved his hand and the Impure World Reincarnation ended with a bang.
After going around in circles, Naruto finally revealed his true intentions.
With Ino and Hinata's whereabouts unknown, Naruto didn't dare to immediately use his Talk No Jutsu on Obito, lest he get mad from jealousy and kill them.
He brought Rin here, but he didn't expect her to talk to Obito.
All the talk and detours are just to stab Obito in the back with a soft knife at this moment.
