Obito's mind at this moment is filled with various questions and confusion.
To him, Rin's death, and also his awakening of the Mangekyo Sharingan, all seemed like carefully arranged scripts by certain people.
When did it start?
The moment Rin was abducted?
No, perhaps even earlier, he had already been targeted.
Obito recalled everything that happened before he fell unconscious, things that originally seemed normal, now upon reflection, many of them actually couldn't be clearly explained.
As Hakushi mentioned, if the reason for everything was because he had the potential to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, then many incomprehensible parts could be explained.
Someone wanted his eyes.
That strange whirlpool-faced entity residing within him was also to obtain his eyes.
This was the cause of everything.
It was also the fundamental reason for Rin's kidnapping.
If it weren't for these eyes... Rin wouldn't have been kidnapped and then died by his hands.
All these calamities were brought about by the Sharingan.
Obito felt an urge to completely destroy the only remaining Mangekyo Sharingan.
It was because of these eyes that Rin was implicated and died.
This is the culprit.
Suddenly his face turned gloomy, producing a will to die.
Feeling that a world without Rin, living alone, held no meaning.
Just when these thoughts were showing on Obito's face, Hakushi quickly came over and gave his head a hard knock.
Obito suddenly awoke from suicidal thoughts, holding his head due to the pain, with tears welling up in his eyes, glaring at Hakushi with murderous intent.
Damn it, why did this bastard hit my head so hard?
With such force, my brain will definitely break and turn into a complete idiot!
"Why did you hit my head?"
Obito asked angrily.
"Were you just thinking of committing suicide?"
Hakushi asked.
"So what if I was? It's none of your business, isn't it, you freeloader?"
"Not really. I was just thinking if you died now, Rin would only have me to take care of her from now on."
"What?"
Obito didn't react, a sudden flash of light in his mind, and looked at Hakushi incredulously.
"You, you mean, Rin hasn't died?"
The surprise came so suddenly, making him a bit incoherent with excitement.
"She's already out of danger, and recuperating."
Hakushi said to Obito.
"You're not kidding me, are you? That's impossible, I remember my kunai indeed pierced Rin's vital point."
Obito shook his head in disbelief, he wished what Hakushi said was true, but his kunai indeed directly hit Rin's vital point back then, how could Rin possibly survive?
"What do I gain by lying to you? Though, there's indeed an issue, I did use medical ninjutsu to bring Rin back from the brink of death, but..."
Hakushi didn't continue.
"But what?"
Obito's heart tightened.
"It's better for you to see for yourself, she's in the next room, currently awake."
Hakushi pointed to the adjacent room, speaking to Obito.
Without saying much, Obito quickly got off the bed, still wearing hospital clothes, ran barefoot out of the ward.
Indeed, on the door of the room beside, he saw the sign that read 'Nohara Rin'.
Suppressing his inner excitement, Obito gently pushed open the slightly ajar door.
Like the room where Obito was, it was a high-class single-use ward arranged for important injured personnel.
In the room, a girl about the same age as Obito was sitting on the hospital bed, the atmosphere around quiet, she turned her head, gazing out at the scenery through the open window.
"Rin..."
Seeing this incredibly familiar figure, Obito's voice trembled, calling out the girl's name.
Hearing the voice, the girl slowly turned her head, saw Obito's excited face, but didn't show the usual gentle smile as Obito imagined, her eyes revealing a strong sense of confusion.
"Um, may I ask who you are? Do you know me?"
Obito felt as if struck by lightning, his body stiffened at the ward's entrance.
At this time, Hakushi passed by Obito's side, entered the room, placing a bottle of medicine on the bedside table, speaking to Rin: "Take this medicine every noon, two pills each time, and about half a month later, you can be discharged. Before then, you may go for walks outside, but avoid strenuous activities."
"Okay, I understand."
Rin nodded, her smile pure and serene.
"How about it, still can't remember anything from before?"
Hakushi asked.
Rin shook her head, frowned somewhat troubled: "No, I still can't recall anything. I remember my name very clearly, but not much else. Each time I try to remember, my head hurts inexplicably."
"Really?" Hakushi paused, then smiled and said: "Never mind if you can't remember, don't push yourself too hard."
"Yes."
"You should rest well now, I'll be going, remember to take the medicine on time."
Hakushi nodded, turned to go to the ward door, patting Obito's shoulder, leading him out.
Rin watched the two leave, her face calm as she continued to gaze out the window dazedly.
The gentle warm breeze continuously blowing in from outside made people feel incredibly comfortable, giving a sense of rebirth.
