#congrats on the self-awareness. unfortunately the damage has been done and people can't be un-traumatized

#bonus if they guy who tries that is kakashi. and then obito says 'how would you know?? you killed her'#let him blame himself more. maybe get some development out of it idk

i think it'd be better if it was minato personally bc technically kakashi didn't so much as kill rin as happen to be an extremely convenient gun for her to shoot herself with bc she was a brainwashed child convinced she needed to die for a village that never gave a shit about her in the first place. i don't think she'd blame kakashi for her death at all; at most i think she'd be mad that his takeaway from all that was "i should serve the state harder, and raise more child soldiers for them" (the last part he didn't particularly want to do but. rin doesn't know that. and probably doesn't care much either tbh)

it's possible that part of it is me wanting some form at all of calling minato out on his bullshit bc while naruto gets in a gutpunch the only other time the narrative really addresses it is when sasuke resurrects him and he tells hiruzen what's going on isn't his fault (lol. lmao) but minato's bc he died during the kyuubi attacked and maybe could've prevented the massacre if he'd lived which is. a helluva a lot to hear from the man who chose killing himself to make sure the village didn't lose its precious enslaved chakra monster and condemning his infant son to a miserable childhood (and kushina to death but to be fair nobody knew she could be saved by resealing the kyuubi in her. ofc they would have found that out if minato hadn't been determined to avoid potential single dad-hood, but...)

it could work just fine with kakashi as well but he kinda already hates himself so it feels a little pointless. i think minato could use that bit of self-reflection more frankly

i think it would've been really funny if someone tried to appeal to obito with "rin wouldn't have wanted this" only for him to reveal that he had her brought back via edo tensei ages ago and she's 100% down with all of this. fuck the system moon coma forever. eat shit sensei
