Healing (Obito Uchiha X Reader)

10. Passion

As you stood before him, your heart was racing and your emotions were in turmoil. The sight of Obito, scarred from battles and burdened with the weight of his past transgressions, filled you with a deep sense of longing and pain.

But you refused to give up on him. With every fibre of your being, you knew that he was the one you loved above all else, and you were determined to make him see that the path he was on was not the one he truly desired.

You found yourself incapable of producing a single utterance, as a flood of emotions and information engulfed your being. A beautiful soul such as Obito did not deserve to suffer so much. Where was the justice in that? But life was never fair, and this much had become evident.

Obito mistook your silence for disgust.

"I comprehend if you wish not to lay eyes on me ever again." he muttered.

"I apologize for my monstrous ways and appearance," he continued, lowering his gaze in shame and regret.

Your fingers trailed over the scars that marred his face, tracing each line and curve with the gentlest of touches. "You are not a monster," you whispered, your voice barely above a whisper. "You are the love of my life."

Obito's eyes widened in surprise, his lips parting in shock as he looked at you, truly looking at you for the first time. And in that moment, you knew that you had the power to change everything

"Obito." you said, your voice trembling with emotion.

"I know that you believe that you are a monster, but you are not defined by your past, nor by the scars that mark your skin. You are defined by the goodness within you, by the love that you have shown to those who matter most to you. You can still be the hero you always wanted to be. Come to our side. "

Obito looked up at you, his eyes brimming with tears. "But I have done so much wrong." he said.

"How can I ever make up for it? How can I ever atone for the pain that I have caused?"

You took his hand in yours, your touch gentle and soothing.

"You don't have to atone for anything," you said.

"All you have to do is follow your heart. You can still be the hero that you always wanted to be. You can still fight for what is right, and for the people you care about. You just have to take that first step, and I'll be there to support you every step of the way."

The decision was delicate and weighed heavily on Obito's mind. However, since his reunion with you, he began to feel his heart change day by day, and he found himself tempted by the thought of holding your hand and ending the war to return to his perfect world with you.

Obito hesitated for a moment, his eyes locked on yours. And then, with a look of determination in his eyes, he took your hand and stepped forward.

"Thank you." he said, his voice soft and grateful. "Thank you for believing in me, for seeing the goodness within me. I won't let you down. I'll fight with everything I have to make things right, to protect the people I care about."

You felt a surge of pride and love in your heart as you embraced him, your arms wrapping around his strong, scarred body. And as you held him close, you knew that you had found the person you were meant to be with, the one who would stand by your side through thick and thin.

As he used his Kamui to transport the two of you back to the village, your hand was still clasped tightly in his. When you opened your eyes, the sight that greeted you was heartbreaking, just expected to see. There was a huge, gaping hole where the village should have been, but everyone seemed to be alive and well.
