Unification of the Shinobi World (1)

Although the appearance of the Wrath of the Storm is not as majestic and imposing as the Flame Demon Descent, it gives people a very grand and boundless feeling. Its three-meter-tall body seems to contain infinite energy, ready to unleash a boundless storm of fury at any moment.

Issui pulled a jade-green longbow from his back, then took a long arrow from his quiver, nocked it on the bowstring, and shouted, "Wind God-Slaying Arrow!!!"

A bluish-green light continuously condensed on the long arrow, the arrowhead flickering between reality and illusion. Finally, with Issui flick of his right hand holding the arrowhead, the long arrow flashed and flew out, its speed so great that it vanished suddenly, reappearing in front of Obito Uchiha in less than one-twentieth of a second!

Obito's eyes widened as he stared at the enormous, emerald-green arrow before him. It was moving so fast he couldn't even sense its trajectory. "Oh no!" he cried out urgently, "I must dodge it, or I'll be severely injured, if not killed!" He shouted, "Shinra Tensei!!!"

"Thump..."

The repulsive force of the Rinnegan's Shinra Tensei only collided violently with the arrow's momentum, producing a dull thud in the air. However, the arrow wasn't deflected; after a brief pause, it continued its forward charge! "Mangekyō Sharingan — Kamui!!!"

Unexpectedly, even the Rinnegan's ultimate technique couldn't stop the attack of the green arrows. It seemed that the power of the Shinra Tensei was completely inferior to the power of the arrows and was neutralized. Helpless, Obito had no choice but to use Kamui to make his body intangible in order to dodge the Issui. But then something that shocked him to the core happened...

"Puff..."

Although Obito's body had completely become intangible, the cyan arrow pierced through Obito chest, drawing out a large amount of bright red blood, and finally Obito his body to a rock. Even then, the Obito process continued...

"What's going on? How could Kamui fail? My body and hands are clearly no longer in this space, so how could this arrow still pierce through me?" Obito was shocked. His most relied-upon technique was Kamui, the Secret Technique Mangekyō Sharingan, and now it had been broken by a single arrow. Did that mean his greatest trump card was useless?

Issui slowly flew down using the wings on his back, and said calmly to Obito's side, "Well, you're no longer my match. You're wondering why my arrow could pierce through your body, which is no longer in this space, right? It's simple, I can tell you."

The Wind God-Slaying Arrow is a guiding arrow that pierces through everything. Simply put, it can penetrate any material space to attack the enemy I have marked. It will not stop attacking until it hits the enemy. You were defeated because you were too confident in yourself and thought you could evade all attacks. In this world, there is yin and yang.

Since there are techniques for evading space, there must also be techniques for attacking through space. There are no skills that are completely unknowable, only ninjas who can use skills to their fullest potential.

Obito fell silent. In the instant his body was nailed to the nails, he felt as if he had already lost his dream, and could no longer realize the Eye of the Moon Plan, or create a world with Rin. He had struggled for so many years, ruthless and cruel, creating countless conflicts and causing countless deaths. In that instant, he understood that perhaps he had been terribly wrong from the very beginning. If Rin knew what he had done for her, would she be gratified or blamed? Probably the latter, after all, Rin was a girl who longed for peace, and everything he had done went against her wishes.

Seeing Obito's dejected expression, Issui said in a low voice, "What? Regretting it? Maybe it's not too late. I have good news for you, Rin... she's still alive!!" Obito hearing Issui's words, Obito's mind went blank. Rin... still alive... alive... alive. Issui's words kept echoing in his mind. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer. His bloodshot eyes revealed a beastly light as he asked Issui, "Is it true or false? If you're lying to me, I'll risk my life to kill you. If it's true, then please let her come to see me!!" No matter how calm Issui was, he was frightened by Obito's beastly gaze. Men in love are indeed crazy and reckless. Well, it's time to let them meet.

"Come out, Lin!" Issui immediately released Lin from his Sumeru World. Instantly, the space in front of Issui flickered, and Lin's figure gradually became clear...

Lin had just emerged from the Sumeru Space when she saw Yishui, who was over three meters tall and resembled Issui elf king, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.

When Obito saw Rin emerge, his eyes widened. What was going on? It was indeed Rin, but how could she only be fifteen or sixteen years old? Rin should be thirty by now; how could there be such a large age gap? And he had personally held Rin's body; it had already gone cold. How could it be...?

Issui turned Rin's body around, showing her Obito lying on the rock, pierced by a long arrow. He said, "You two should know each other, right? It's been a long time since you last met. Let's catch up."

Rin looked at Obito lying there, a sense of familiarity welling up inside her. After a while, tears of joy streamed down her face, and she choked out, "Obito...!"

Upon hearing that beautiful and familiar voice, Obito could no longer contain himself. He banished all his doubts and, trembling, exclaimed, "Yes, I am Obito, Rin!!!"

Rin looked at Obito's injured body and quickly pulled out the green arrow from his body. She placed her hands on it, and it emitted a pale green light. She was using Medical Ninjutsu to treat his wounds.

Seeing the familiar medical techniques, Obito immediately dispelled all his concerns. It was Rin, that's right. He knew her medical methods all too well, and her expression was exactly the same as Rin's usual appearance. If she wasn't Rin, then there was no one in the world who looked more like Rin.

"I rescued Rin from the past by traveling through time using a special method. Her current body is not the same as before, but a new one that I recreated using Heaven Secret Technique. Of course, her soul is still the same Rin from before. The body I created is not comparable to an evil technique like the Impure World Reincarnation. It is basically exactly the same as the previous body, and it is alive..." Issui proactively cleared up Obito's doubts.

Obito suddenly realized that Rin had actually died once and had simply been resurrected. Perhaps he should thank this kid. He probably already knew his identity, which was why he resurrected Rin. The Heaven Clan was indeed incredibly powerful, capable of bringing people back to life. It was somewhat similar to the Outer Path of the Rinnegan, the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, but it should be safer than the Rinnegan's techniques, at least there wouldn't be any danger to his life.

"Thank you, Issui Kanna. If you hadn't stopped me, I probably would have committed even greater sins..."

Issui waved his hand and said, "It's alright. You're also someone who's been poisoned by this world. You just loved your loved ones too deeply, so it's inevitable that you'd do some crazy things. If you should apologize, you should apologize to those who died because of you."

Obito nodded and said, "Yes, I've done so many heinous things that I've lost myself. I really miss the person I used to be. Although I wasn't strong then, that was the real me."

At that moment, Kakashi suddenly appeared at Issui's location. Looking at Rin and Obito, he excitedly exclaimed, "That's wonderful! So you're all still alive! The old Minato Namikaze's Team is back together..."

"Kakashi, you didn't keep your promise to me back then..." Obito said bitterly. Although Rin had come back to life, Obito would never forgive Kakashi no matter what. No matter how he imagined it, he could not accept that Rin was killed by Kakashi's own hands. Although there were other reasons, he would never forgive him no matter what. A man should keep his oath.

At this moment, Rin said, "It wasn't Kakashi's fault, back then I..."

Kakashi interrupted Rin, saying, "No matter what, it's my fault. I promised Obito 'd protect you, but I... If I had the chance, I would definitely take the blame for you."

Issui then interjected, "Alright, stop blaming each other and blaming yourselves. No one is at fault. Nobody wants their comrades to leave them. This bloody ninja world is destined to see comrades die, but I believe in human will and that I can use my own hands to change this cruel world!"

Just then, a powerful Chakra suddenly began to move rapidly in that direction.

Obito Uchiha in surprise, "Oh no! Madara Uchiha is here! Let's prepare to fight him. For world peace, I'll contribute my own strength. I've made so many mistakes, but this time, I won't make the same mistake again. Kakashi, will you fight alongside me?"

Kakashi laughed, "Alright, our Minato Namikaze's Team is reunited today for a mission—to defeat Madara Uchiha!"

"Yes!" Rin nodded. She wanted to join the battle too. It felt like she was back in the days when the three of them did missions together under Minato-sensei's guidance. They were so happy back then, Kakashi and Obito were always bickering...

"It's not just you, it's all of us..." The Five Kage appeared behind Issui and the others with all their ninjas. There was no need to think of any more plans. With the entire army marching out, the only remaining enemy was Madara Uchiha.

When Madara arrived at the center of the battlefield, he was almost startled. A massive army of ninjas was staring at him, and Obito had joined them. Did this mean he was going to fight the entire Shinobi World? This scene was truly grand.

"It seems I'm all alone this time, Obito. Have you forgotten your dream? Don't you want to realize a 'peaceful world'? In this world, we are always rejected. Why don't you join me in changing this world? Besides, you've done so many dark things, can the light still accept you? Come, let's destroy this world together and then recreate it for us to live in..."
