Obvious Rin Itachi parallel made

[thgt89]

There was an obvious Rin / Itachi parallel made in this chapter and it maybe explains how Obito was able to manipulate Sasuke so easily because of his own personal experience. Itachi the person Sasuke cares for most in the world died to protect the leaf village and upon learning this he decides to attack the leaf village. Rin the person Obito cares for most in the world dies to stop the leaf village from being attacked by a tailed beast and upon learning this Obito attacks the leaf village with a tailed beast. It seems counter intuitive since you would expect them to want to contune the will of the person they love instead of shitting on it and doing the opposite. I suppose Sasuke now though has seen the light and wants to carry on Itachi's will so will the same happen to Obito somehow and how could it even happen?

agreed. Nice thought

 

[foxyladyland]

yeah it was pretty cool idea about that.

Itachi died to protect the leaf.

Rin died to protect the leaf.

Nice idea. However the same could be said with Yahiko (He died in an attempt to "save" the Ninja World but Nagato indirectly ended up starting a War).
