Chapter 448: Inescapable Bonds

Kakashi continued: "In fact, Haneda is tired of his past life."

"He told me he wanted to end it all and we could live a secluded life together."

"He told me what he really wanted, what he wanted to achieve,"

"The peace he understood, the happiness he understood, the reason why he kept pursuing these things..."

"It's all because of you, because of me."

"Because of you, because of me...?!!" The figure of Kakashi appeared in the puzzle of Obito's heart.

Even though he was extremely disappointed with Kakashi, in the life he and Haneda were in, Kakashi would always be part of the puzzle.

"Why?" Obito asked in a low voice, his head rising until his eyes met Kakashi's.

Kakashi said: "Because you want to become Hokage, because I want to protect the village, so he became Hokage."

"Because you want peace in the ninja world, because you and I lost too much in the war, so he wants peace."

"It's that simple."

Obito listened quietly, and his memories went back to ten years ago...

It turns out that Haneda never took his dream as a joke...

It turns out that he has been watching me all along, trying to pull me back from the world of pain...

Kakashi continued to speak, but for some reason there was a special emotion in his plain words.

"In fact, in the end, he found that his ideals had never changed, but there were more things on the road to pursuit."

"He wanted to add a new flower to peace, and this flower is called happiness."

"He wants to pursue your happiness, my happiness, and realize the happiness of more people through your happiness, my happiness, and his happiness. This is consistent with your later ideals."

"Actually... I've always understood this."

"So he wants to atone for your sins and lead you from darkness to light. If possible, he hopes you will become the new Hokage."

Obito heard the word "Hokage" again and for some reason, the term took on a new weight.

"Atonement? What can I use to atone for my sins? At this point, is there anyone willing to forgive me? Don't use those stupid values. Humans will never forget hatred. Only naive fools can forget hatred!"

The three broken photos were stitched together to become stable, and Obito's mental state had obviously improved.

His heart was more inclined towards reason rather than crazy emotions.

Kakashi said, "What if we use the Samsara Technique to revive all the dead?"

When asked, Obito was stunned for a moment, he knew that Haneda might really do this.

Haneda is a smart fool.

Suddenly, Obito smiled:

"I admit that he had planned it in advance, but... Kakashi, you forgot a lot of important people."

"There is no Lin in our happiness, and no Minato-sensei!!"

When the last two pieces of the puzzle were stitched together, the Ten-Tails was completely controlled by Obito, and he became the perfect Jinchūriki!

The real ascension to heaven!!!

But some people's attention is not there...

Minato blinked innocently. He actually felt that he was quite happy...

Even though he had regrets, he had watched Naruto grow up and the village prosper, so there was nothing to regret about his death.

Tobirama covered his forehead helplessly: "I knew that I couldn't convince him with just words. The situation has become even more critical."

As if to convince Kakashi, Obito said:

"Lin is dead, both physically and mentally, she is completely dead!"

"The one he loves is you, Kakashi, not me!"

"And you never loved Lin!"

"She can never be happy in this world of pain!"

"Only false truth can satisfy everyone!"

"And...I forgot to tell you something, Kakashi."

"The reason why I pursue Infinite Tsukuyomi is because of Haneda, and because of you!"

Obito has mastered the true power of the Six Paths and become a perfect Jinchūriki, but he is not in a hurry about the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

He wanted to get something before the light of Infinite Tsukuyomi illuminated the earth.

Obito continued:

"The sun can only illuminate half of the moon. The back of the moon is infinitely cold."

"I know that you have always been concerned about Haneda in your heart, even though you have never shown it on the surface, in your actions, or even in your heart."

"At the beginning, it was during the Third Shinobi World War. Your father Sakumo sacrificed himself to save Haneda."

"This is the beginning of care, from the death of my father. Even if you never show any care, tears will not lie."

"On the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox, Haneda knew I would come, but he never revealed my identity. You must have suspected me at the time, right?"

"An enemy who was merely knocked unconscious, haha..."

"Why did Haneda suddenly disappear? Why did he know the news in advance? Why did he never announce it even though he knew the news? Why didn't he tell you every time afterwards..."

"When your Chidori pierced my heart for the first time, you should have understood this, right?"

"Because the bond between you and Haneda is so deep, you never showed any concern, even a little bit!"

"Haneda never discovered this or had already discovered it, but he pretended not to know. He subconsciously tried to make up for it. Gradually, you knew his secret, and your concerns began to dissipate."

"But has it really dissipated? The reason why I call our feelings a bond is because the feelings between us go beyond friendship, do you understand?"

"Even if it's you, me, or him, if one of us knows that the other is wrong, that person will just endure the pain!"

"Just like Haneda now ignored me releasing the Ten-Tails and becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he probably had enough power to stop me, but he didn't."

"Just like you, you clearly knew my weakness and clearly acted like you wanted to kill me and free me, but you never told the truth to anyone else, and you never thought about actually killing me."

"And I have never wanted to hurt someone Haneda really cares about, even if he is my enemy, even if he will affect my plans and my ideals."

"Because this is a bond!"

"The pain that transcends friendship is a chain that once entangled, it is impossible to escape."

"The three of us are destined to be entangled together, living in pain for each other, and bound by our ideals for each other."

"We are destined to be unable to break free from this bond!"

"You understand this feeling, right, Kakashi?"

"Infinite Tsukuyomi will bring relief, and we will live the life and happiness we want."

"You don't really think Haneda wants to live in seclusion, do you? If he really wants to do this, then why does he keep saying that he wants to do it for the people's bread and milk, for peace and happiness?"

"Isn't he too hypocritical?"

"Can he really let it go?"

"He said that because of you! Because you're tired of this kind of life, Kakashi!"

"So, the only true salvation is the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Only the Infinite Tsukuyomi that satisfies all fantasies can bring us the peace we want!"
