And Obito was -- no, is -- perhaps the one teammate who meant everything. Even if Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and Sai hold a large piece of his heart, and he would do anything to save them, no one quite compares to who and what Obito means to Kakashi. And that is not something he would expect anyone to understand.
Except, perhaps, Obito.
Kakashi knows he won't regret this, because it means saving them all. His own life is small and inconsequential compared to all the lives out there, outside of Kamui, outside of the only left that he and Obito still share. His life does not mean very much in comparison with what's at stake. He should not even really be alive, anyway. He's lived on borrowed time since the moment that rock fell, and all the while Obito was trying to find a way back to Rin. To undo what Kakashi did with Rin's heart in his hand. ]
