Nohara Rin's Romantic Relationships (in my canon-compliant headcanons)

She ever since age 10 has a crush on Kakashi, who never gets the chance to romantically like her back since she dies 3 & a half months before her 14th birthday. Her romantic feelings towards him have grown strong enough by age 12 that she felt the need to tell him.

Rin at age 5 meets Kakashi and Obito in school then within a month has become Schrödinger's besf friends with the latter. Obito at age 7 starts to have a crush on Rin, who for at least 7 years loves him solely as 1 of her 2 best friends (the other is Kurenai who also is Rin's platonic rival).

If Rin didn't die from her canon self-sacrifice, there are many ways the trio's relationships coulda resolved themselves:

Kakashi at age 14 or older develops romantic feelings for Rin then they become a couple with Obito supporting their relationship;

Kakashi at age 14 or older develops romantic feelings for both Rin and Obito then tells them and the 3 negotiate on what'd work for all of them, e.g. Kakashi-x-Rin becoming a couple with Obito supporting them coz he doesn't wanna date Kakashi or Kakashi dating both Rin and Obito coz Obito decided he'll give it a try despite not having romantic feelings for Kakashi or no-one dating anyone etc.;

Kakashi at age 14 or older develops romantic feelings for both Rin and Obito then doesn't tell either of them thus all 3 are in a sort of relationship limbo where none of them know the full story;

Obito at age 14 or older develops romantic feelings for Kakashi who develops romantic feelings for both him and Rin who develops romantic feelings for Obito then either they all tell each other and form a romantic triad or none of them tell the others and they're in a sort of relationship limbo where none of them know the full story;

Obito at age 14 or older develops romantic feelings for Kakashi who doesn't like him nor Rin back in that way thus it's those 2 being one-sidedly in love with Kakashi whilst Obito also is one-sidedly in love with Rin;

Obito at age 14 or older develops romantic feelings for Kakashi whilst the ones he had for Rin fade away thus it's solely those 2 being one-sidedly in love with Kakashi;

Obito at age 14 or older develops romantic feelings for Kakashi whilst the ones he had for Rin and she had for Kakashi fade away and Rin develops romantic feelings for Obito thus the one-sided romantic feelings situation from canon gets reversed with Kakashi's lack of romantic feelings feelings staying as the only constant;

Kakashi at age 14 or older develops romantic feelings for Obito thus there's a romance triangle with Kakashi's crush on Obito and Obito's on Rin and Rin's on Kakashi all being one-sided;

Rin's romantic feelings for Kakashi at age 14 or older fade away and she slowly develops romantic feelings for Senju Yamato (formerly Tenzō after having gone by the name Kinoe, birth name unknown), Mitarashi Anko, and/or Katō Shizune;

Rin's romantic feelings for Kakashi at age 14 or older fade away and she somehow ends up joining (the original or the new) Akatsuki then develops one-sided or mutual romantic feelings towards Konan.

(These headcanons are canon-compliant in the sense that there's never a moment in the manga or novels where it's explicitly made clear Nohara Rin can't be polyamorous and/or biromantic and/or bisexual. The only thing canon has confirmed is that Rin had romantic feelings for Kakashi who never got the chance to find out whether he reciprocated the crush or was 100% solely friends with her. Shizune never dated anyone in canon, so she's as up to interpretation as Kakashi; same goes for Yamato & Anko. Konan was implied to have a mutual crush on Yahiko, but she was never confirmed to specifically not be sapphic. Obito, of course, has his canon one-sided crush on Rin; the manga and novels never indicated that it was impossible for her to ever like him back in the same way.

These are all my interpretation!!)

Obito: So you know the whole worm question thing? When people ask if their partner would still love them if they were turned into a worm?

Kakashi: Yeah?

Obito: Do you ever think of how convenient that could be for certain people, if it happened?

Kakashi: What do you mean?

Obito: Okay, say that me and you were dating. And somewhere along the line, you cheated on me. And I found out, but you didn’t know that I found out.

Obito: And one day we’re out together and we have the worm conversation. And I assure you that I’d always love you no matter what you are.

Obito: And then a witch or something comes down and decides to test our relationship by actually turning you into a worm.

Obito: And you’re terrified because even though you’re a creature now, you still have your human brain and you’re aware of everything going on.

Obito: But at the same time, you have trust in me, because you’re sure that I’m still going to take care of you.

Obito: But then, while I’m holding you in my hand, I casually bring up that I know you cheated on me. And your tiny little heart starts to pound. So I take you with me to your secret lover’s home, and make you watch while I erase him from existence.

Obito: And then I go out into the woods to bury him. And I take you off of my shoulder and throw you into his open grave. And I explain that this is the best way I can love you; leaving you to feast on that person’s soon to be rotting body. And then I finish the job and leave you alone with the person you jeopardized our relationship to be with. Hoping that you feel it was worth it, to do that to me. 

Obito: Wouldn’t that be poetic? Wouldn’t that be a thing of beautiful, divine justice?

Obito: Anyways … want to go get some ramen with me? My treat!

Kakashi: …

Rin and Minato, standing nearby: …

Rin: kakashi, is it true that you're seeing someone?

Kakashi: what? no, i'm not seeing anyone.

Rin: did you hear that, obito!?!??? he's as lonely as the wind in the field! so can't you go out and ask him out like a man now????

Obito, hiding behind a tree: fuck, fuck, fuck.

Kakashi: You know, if I was a girl, I’d totally make out with Obito. Kakashi: I mean, he’s warm, he’s sweet, he’s so tall and muscular and just really really handsome. And those lips of his look so soft. Kakashi: *sighs* If only I was a girl … Rin: You know you don’t have to be a girl to kiss Obito, right? You can just kiss him as a boy? Kakashi, pouting: Yeah, but when I tried asking him he just giggled, threw a dango at my face, and ran away. Rin:

[itischeese]

One thing that’s always bothered me about how team Minato’s often written in fanfic is that it’s always referring to Kakashi as Obito’s best friend, when Rin is???? Like, even when they’re all happy and alive? Rin and Obito have been best friends for years longer than they’ve even been on team Minato? Is that not the entire canonical reason Obito fell in love with her?

Personally, I’m of the opinion that they’re all best friends (or should be), though their dynamics with each other are vastly different. Kakashi and Obito are the bickering rival/in love with each other duo, Rin and Kakashi are the sibling and would-die-for-Obito duo, and Obito and Rin are the ride-or-die confidants. The three of them together are the slightly-too-deranged trio, of course. Minato is their mentor/father figure, and the four of them together are the self-sacrificial idiots. Kushina’s the designated bad influence.

Obito and Rin's relationship

I just read a text from a user talking about ObiRin and honestly, I was impressed that there were 6 shares and almost 80 likes on the comment. I wonder: do people even remember what Obito and Rin's relationship was like? Because from people's feedback, I can see that they clearly don't. The comment said that Obito and Rin were not best friends and that Obito's feelings for her were "platonic", and that her behavior towards him was "no big deal". So, I ask you: what does that mean to you? Romantic or platonic love?

So I'm left wondering: Are people really looking at this relationship and not coming to the obvious conclusion that Rin Nohara loved Obito Uchiha romantically and that her feelings for Kakashi were purely platonic due to his prodigy abilities in the same way that Karin and Ino had for Sasuke? This is surreal to me.

Have you ever stopped to think about the parallels between ObiRin and NaruHina or do you prefer to confirm more information on Wikipedia, where anyone can edit and write whatever they want?

I don't think that their friendship was platonic, precisely because of the romantic reaction that Obito and Rin had and that was concretized in their reunion scene… making a direct connection with the kiss attempt made by Rin when she was still alive.

Platonic love is a type of love that involves feeling affection, admiration or even passion for someone, but without wanting to have a romantic or physical relationship with that person. In this sense, I can say that this was the case with Kakashi and Rin, since they literally had nothing special.

She felt admiration for Kakashi because of his abilities and fame as a genius, but she never tried to kiss Kakashi once and even when Kakashi died, she wasn't there for him, but for Obito she was.

Pink (meaning): pink means romance (as a primary meaning)

After her rejection, we never saw Rin try anything romantic with Kakashi or even form a solid relationship with him. In fact, their relationship went backwards instead of forwards to something more “meaningful”. They literally became just “teammates” and didn't have the same level of intimacy as she had with Obito.

Obito and Rin's relationship:

Kakashi and Rin's relationship:

So when someone tells me that their feelings (Obito and Rin) weren't romantic, even if they didn't show it verbally, you could clearly see that they liked each other beyond friendship, and not something platonic.

Notice the clear change in Rin Nohara's personality/decision and feelings in these 2 scenes:

I'm not a “romance genius”, but there are things that are too obvious not to be interpreted as romance. Besides, Kakashi has shown us countless times that what he felt for Rin was pure companionship in various situations. Even after her death, Kakashi saw her as a hallucination and saw her in other girls, but even though he had the opportunity to “date” girls similar to Rin, he never tried anything and never addressed any girl similar to Rin romantically, but rather, totally in a sense of companionship.

Even though they resembled Rin, Kakashi never even tried anything with any of them and thought of her only as a friend, literally. He himself only used the word “friend” to refer to Rin. As, for example, in episode 354, where Kakashi says: “I couldn't protect my friend.”

Or even when Sasuke said to Kakashi: “What if I had killed the person you love the most?!”

And Kakashi's response? “Those people have already… been killed.”

Kakashi has literally never, at any time in his life, seen Rin in a romantic light. Not before and not after… but Rin? I'm sorry, but it was very clear that she saw Obito romantically, she just didn't admit it to herself.

So when someone says that Rin and Obito weren't best friends and that she didn't see Obito as a potential boyfriend or even like him romantically, I'm like:

Obito and Rin were not only best friends since forever, but they also loved each other. It's so obvious that they would have ended up together romantically, that it really amazes me how there are people who actually have doubts about them in that sense. Obito & Rin is literally synonymous with romance and genuine love for each other. There are people who compare Obito and Rin with Kakashi and Guy, saying that their friendship was "similar", but for the love of the gods!!! Honestly, that has nothing to do with it. The friendship between both pairs was VERY different. In Kakashi and Guy you see friendship and rivalry, but in Obito and Rin you see love and romance.

So I'm sorry, but anyone who compares Kakashi and Guy's relationship with Obito and Rin's is simply clueless. By the way, did Guy ever try to kiss Kakashi? Not that I can recall. Neither Kakashi nor Guy are gay. Besides, it was very clear that Rin's feelings for Kakashi literally disappeared when Kakashi confessed that he abandoned her at the end of the Gaiden saga (she only liked him for his abilities, and only had love and intimacy with Obito).

And then:

She could try to disguise it, but I've never seen Rin support Kakashi the way she supported Obito.

“Rin never loved Obito romantically. She only had eyes for Kakashi! Obito never had a chance with her. He was a failure and Kakashi was a prodigy!” Let's see what Rin thinks about that.

Rin, after waiting 20 years to be reunited with only (Obito Uchiha), left Kakashi, her “love” behind forever.

It doesn't take much to realize the obvious difference.

Discombobulated

(adj.) emotionally confused or uncertain

……………………….…………………………………………………

The mission wasn't supposed to go this way. It was a B-ranked mission that took the two teams four days in the middle of the Earth country to complete, and they were just on their way home.

Kakashi should have foreseen this somehow, despite being just a Chunin with no Dōjutsu to see into the future. He still should have been prepared.

They all should have.

The enemy had strung on them when they were at their lowest, chakra exhausted from a previous battle.

Kakashi hadn't seen the man grab you, nor had he seen the blade covered in poison being stabbed into you, all he saw was the expression of pure terror Rin had on her face as she witnessed the scene.

He heard though, the screams of Kushina as she raced to you. The cried of Gai as Genma held him back from running after his sensei. Minatos calls to head to the cottage a mile back.

Now here he was, standing in the doorway of the Cottage as Rin and Kushina frantically tried to save you.

Obito, Genma, and Gai sat on the porch, eyes trained forward in horror. If you died… you'd be the first friend any of them had lost.

Kakashi, he didn't turn away. He watched as Rin, with tears streaming down her face, dug through all her medical bags searching for her antidotes.

He watched as Kushina grabbed a kunai to cut open your shirt and sports bra, and he watched as Minato held your hair back as you leaned over the shitty old kitchen table to throw up your own blood.

Your face, sweaty and flushed from the fever that was beginning to rise. Your pretty eyes that he had caught himself looking at were blinking tiredly. Your hair was wet, stuck to your face and knotted around your head.

Kakashi couldnt look away.

You were still pretty, he thought. Even if you looked like death.

Minato had to force him, pulling him away from the scene as Kushina pulled the fabric from your front, exposing the wound.

“You don't want to see this.”

Good Minato, who despite dealing with three kids in the middle of the war, still tried to keep them somewhat pure from the horrors of this world.

Kakashi, as soon as he turned away, knew you were going to die.

You had been insignificant to him for most of your lives, just another face in the classroom you two had shares.

You were nice, he knew that, but being nice got people killed and he was certain you'd die if you ever got into a battle. Back in the academy, you were quiet, nice, and friendly but insignificant to him.

You had changed since he had graduated before you, and left you to grow.

You turned into a fighter, not as good as Gai but you were above average. You fought with everything, all you had and it impressed Kakashi how much you grew.

Being Kushinas student must have done you some good, because you also held a fire similar to hers.

Maybe that’s why you had rushed to Genma, fighting the enemy that had knocked him out.

Maybe that’s why you had cut the man’s face, scarring him.

Maybe that’s why you were grab by your throat, held down and stabbed with the poison covered blade.

Maybe it was because now you were dying on a rotting table inside of an abandoned cottage in enemy woods.

Maybe it was because you were stupid, rushing to save your friend with no consideration for your life.

Maybe that's why he had grown to love you more than a teammate.

You used to be so insignificant in his life, but now you were everywhere.

*first post, might make this a series!*
