'He turned her into a curse, ' Uchiha Obito repeats, slowly and quietly. Chewing through the words with much consideration before barking out a laugh. Harsh and grating to Satoru 's ears. 'I assume that 's generally taboo. '

It then looks at Satoru as though daring him to challenge its claim. Standing in front of him as a curse manifested by another 's will. Shackled down to this realm by wants not of its own but rather of a sorcerer long dead.

'So he managed to bring her back to life, ' Uchiha Obito muses, cruel and cutting. 'Good for him. '

Perhaps it 's due to its own circumstances as a 'Rika. '

But in this instance?
