I'm ready.

It's finally time.

I don't think he has any reason left... Other than the singular goal of destroying the world and replacing it with one of his own making.

[ This goal has taken the lives of tens of thousands of shinobi, so many bodies that there won't be enough earth to bury them all. And Obito might say it has nothing to do with Rin, and even less to do with Kakashi, but Kakashi knows the truth: he's the reason why Obito's so broken, and there is no vocabulary that exists which can possibly change that fact. ]

[Minato takes a deep breath and lets it out in a long drawn-out exhale. He still holds out hope that Obito will be reasoned out with, but he understands where Kakashi's coming from so he doesn't push it. He addresses something else.]

That may be so, but don't think you're the sole reason for Obito's descent to darkness, Kakashi.

[ura_no_ura]

[ Kakashi's eye falls shut then, brow furrowing as he goes silent. Minato is rarely ever wrong, but when it comes to this, when it comes to Obito, Kakashi knows that he is. Because even if Madara had been the one who twisted Obito into what he now is, it was Kakashi who'd torn Obito's heart out with Rin's. ]

[Minato frowns. He knows all too well what's reeling inside Kakashi's head.]

Don't do this to yourself. I'm also to blame since I'm his sensei. [We all played a role in his descent. Even if Minato's one who advises Kakashi not to take all the burden, he rarely follows his own advice.]

[ura_no_ura]

You didn't kill Rin.

[derpivity]

Had I been an effective sensei, she wouldn't have been kidnapped in the first place.

[You see, Kakashi? We're going to go in circles here. Don't shoulder everything.]
