Standing high in the air, Minato and Kakashi witnessed this scene.
Their expressions instantly grew complicated, especially Kakashi's.
Deep down, he was shaken. He never imagined that Obito would go this far for him.
"Obito, how could you be this stupid!", Kakashi shouted with a trembling voice, his eyes already red.
Even though everything happening before them belonged to the future, for Kakashi, the impact of this scene was not reduced in the slightest.
At this moment, Rengoku calmly spoke up from the side as a reminder, "Don't rush into being sad yet. At this point, Obito isn't dead."
Hearing this, Minato and Kakashi snapped back to their senses as if waking from a dream.
Right after that, Rengoku continued, "Here, I need to seriously remind you of something."
Rengoku's gaze swept over Minato and Kakashi, then he went on, "Obito, as a person, didn't stand out when it came to ninjutsu or learning ability."
"But when it comes to talent with the Sharingan, no one could match him."
"Since neither of you comes from the Uchiha clan, you might not really understand what matters here."
"In fact, Obito being able to directly awaken a two-tomoe Sharingan is enough to prove that his soul and spiritual power far surpass those of ordinary people."
"Normally, people probably only saw his kind heart and his habit of always helping others."
"But it's often people who seem that simple and harmless who, once they step onto the path of corruption, become darker and more terrifying than anyone else."
Rengoku's words were like a heavy hammer smashing down on Minato's and Kakashi's hearts, making their moods sink even further.
Kakashi could no longer hold back the questions in his mind and asked anxiously, "Then what exactly caused Obito to fall into corruption?"
"Calm down. Keep watching."
They saw Rengoku's blood-red Sharingan slowly begin to rotate, as if he had turned into a god who could freely stir the river of time.
The originally frozen scene below suddenly began to roll forward at high speed, like a horse breaking loose.
In the blink of an eye, the scene rapidly shifted to the moment when Obito was saved by Madara.
After that, Madara began to brainwash Obito, those endless words pouring into Obito's mind like a tidal wave.
This series of events was like highly compressed footage, forced at extreme speed straight into the minds of Minato and Kakashi.
Next, the real turning point arrived.
Rin was kidnapped by the Hidden Mist and brutally turned into the Three-Tails jinchuriki.
They even planned to drive her toward the Hidden Leaf Village, intending to use her to trigger massive chaos in Konoha.
At this moment, White Zetsu quietly leaked this information to Obito.
At the same time, Kakashi, frantic with worry, threw himself without hesitation into the difficult journey to rescue Rin.
However, as a kind-hearted medical ninja who carried a strong sense of justice, Rin knew very well that if the Three-Tails inside her were allowed to rampage, countless innocent Konoha civilians would suffer heavy casualties.
So, at that critical moment, Rin resolutely rushed straight into the Chidori Kakashi had unleashed.
She chose to end this terrible disaster through self-sacrifice.
Meanwhile, White Zetsu secretly manipulated the timing of their encounter, making it so Obito just happened to personally witness the horrifying scene of Kakashi killing Rin with his own hands.
Seeing this, Rengoku hurriedly enlarged the image and stretched out his hand, pointing emphatically at Obito's eyes as he said, "Look here!"
At this moment, Kakashi and Minato discovered in shock that the single-tomoe Sharingan in Obito's eyes underwent a drastic change in an instant.
Obito's two-tomoe Sharingan directly evolved into the Mangekyo Sharingan.
And Kakashi, who already had Obito's eye transplanted, evolved together with him as well.
"Just as I said earlier, Obito's soul and spiritual power are both far beyond those of ordinary people."
"Someone like him, once he suffers a heavy blow and falls into the abyss of corruption and darkness..."
Rengoku's voice abruptly stopped here, but the unspoken meaning in his words.
Made both of them feel their hearts tighten as they silently guessed what would come next.
"...the power he can obtain will be dozens of times greater than that of an ordinary person!"
Rengoku's voice echoed through the air.
"As for the value and might of the Mangekyo Sharingan, I don't think I need to say anything more. You should already understand."
Rengoku slightly narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Minato and Kakashi.
Minato and Kakashi both recalled the shocking Susanoo from earlier and silently nodded in agreement.
Rengoku keenly caught the changes in their expressions and laughed to himself inwardly.
Because he knew very well that the two of them had clearly misunderstood something at this moment.
But he had no intention of deliberately clearing it up or explaining it.
"Obito loved but could not obtain, became obsessed to the point of madness. Then he personally witnessed the Kakashi he cared about most stab the Rin he loved to death."
As Rengoku spoke, he lightly clapped his hands, as if he were appreciating an exceptionally thrilling drama.
"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! This plot really twists and turns. What do you two think? Is it exciting enough? Thrilling enough?"
At this time, the scenes below were still continuing to play.
Minato and Kakashi watched helplessly as Obito on the screen instantly turned into an enraged child and began slaughtering without restraint.
For Kakashi, one of the people directly involved, he truly could not bear Rengoku's casual, even slightly mocking way of describing it.
Although all of this had not yet happened, Kakashi could still deeply feel that pain, like countless arrows piercing his heart.
It hurt. It hurt too much.
The pain was so intense that he almost could not breathe.
"In the end, all of this was actually a carefully planned conspiracy by Uchiha Madara."
"The goal was to completely plunge Obito into darkness, turning him into nothing more than a chess piece he could manipulate at will."
Rengoku slowly summarized, the meaning hidden within his words sending a chill down the spine.
"He actually toyed with Obito's life like this?"
In Kakashi's eyes, sorrow and anger were impossible to hide, veins bulging on his forehead.
Seeing this, Rengoku let out a disdainful snort of laughter, "Hmph! It's nothing special. In fact, that guy Madara was also being toyed with by someone else."
"It's just that those things happen later, so let's not talk about them for now."
