Just as everyone was puzzled by A's claim that Kakashi had harmed his comrades, the Inventory System screen suddenly shifted to a dark forest.
[At this moment, in the dense jungle, Kakashi and Rin were retreating rapidly. Rin looked somewhat pale, but Kakashi's mind was entirely focused on the Kirigakure pursuers behind them, and he did not notice Rin's unusual appearance.]
"Kakashi, I can't go any further. Something feels wrong with my body." Rin suddenly stopped, feeling as if something was inside her.
Kakashi stopped as well, seeing this. The battle had drained a lot of his Chakra, and he needed to recover his strength as quickly as possible.
"What's wrong, Rin? We need to get back to Konoha quickly; the Kirigakure pursuers are catching up fast." Kakashi asked, puzzled.
Lin couldn't explain it clearly, but when she was captured by the Kirigakure Shinobi, they must have tampered with her.
"It seems the Shinobi from Kirigakure have placed some kind of seal on me, a very special kind of seal," Rin replied, clutching her chest.
Although Rin had lost consciousness at the time, the feeling she had now in her body was unmistakable; it was a technique capable of destroying Konoha.
"I can't go back, it will destroy Konoha." Rin was in a dilemma. Behind her were countless Kirigakure soldiers pursuing her, and ahead lay an even greater conspiracy.
"Rin, what are you saying? I promised Obito I would protect you." Kakashi was completely baffled as to why Rin would say such a thing.
[Minato Namikaze: Some kind of seal? Pursuers from Kirigakure, what's going on!]
Minato Namikaze was shocked by the information revealed: Kirigakure had actually set its sights on his own disciple, Rin, by kidnapping her and placing some kind of seal on her, intending to release her once she reached Konoha.
Some kind of technique to destroy Konoha? What on earth could destroy Konoha? If such a thing existed, would Kirigakure have been suppressed by Konoha for so many years? Isn't that a bit too arrogant?
[Obito: Kakashi, what on earth is going on? What did Kirigakure do to Rin?!]
Obito no longer believes that Rin was killed by Kakashi; given the current situation, he is more inclined to believe that Rin was killed by Shinobi from Kirigakure.
"The Kirigakure Shinobi!" Obito's eyes were filled with killing intent, not at Kakashi, but at the Kirigakure Shinobi. They had actually planted a jutsu on Rin; it was simply unforgivable.
The girl I cherished so dearly was afraid she would melt in my palm, and you used her as a tool to destroy Konoha! Kirigakure, you better not run into me in the dungeon, or you'll be in big trouble!
Obito's Obito was contorted with rage. He had encountered Kirigakure Shinobi the dungeon before, but he hadn't paid much attention to them then. Now, however, he was facing them again.
"I will kill you all! I will leave not a single one alive."
[Mei Terumi: Hey, what does this have to do with Kirigakure? We don't have anything like that in Kirigakure.]
[Qing: Hmph, if you want to find fault, you can always find a reason.]
[Hozuki Mangetsu: Something that uses a certain technique to drive the implanted person insane after certain conditions are met!]
At this moment, Hozuki Mangetsu was deep in thought. In his memory, Kirigakure did not possess such a powerful technique. What kind of Sealing Jutsu could reach the level of Konoha? As the inheritor of the sealing tradition of the Land of Whirlpools, Konoha had far surpassed all other countries in terms of Sealing Jutsu.
"No, what she's talking about... it can't be... Tailed Beast, can it!" Hozuki Mangetsu was horrified by the absurd conclusion he had drawn.
"Impossible, impossible! How could Kirigakure implant Tailed Beast into a Konoha person? That would be like handing over Tailed Beast to them! Even if they wanted to attack Konoha, they wouldn't need to go to such lengths." Hozuki Mangetsu quickly abandoned this unrealistic conjecture.
We people from Kirigakure aren't stupid. Your Konoha can even seal the Nine-Tails, so why would we send the Three-Tails over? Isn't that just like the First Hokage kowtowing and offering up Tailed Beast?
Let me clarify here that it was the First Hokage who kowtowed to us and even gave us Tailed Beasts, in exchange for a negligible amount of money.
All I can say is that the First Hokage was a good person.
Kakashi can do now is keep comforting Rin; Minato-sensei and Kushina will definitely be able to resolve this jutsu.
But Rin didn't think so; she believed that no matter what, she couldn't bring disaster to Konoha.
"I'll hold them off! You go quickly." Seeing the pursuers getting closer and closer, Kakashi had no choice but to go down and buy Rin some time to escape.
"No!" Rin didn't want Kakashi to be in danger alone, so she didn't abandon Kakashi and retreat.
Behind him were several elite members of the Kirigakure's Anbu. If they were to stay any longer, the main force of the Kirigakure would likely catch up. For the time being, Kakashi could only do his best to repel them.
[Question: What did the Kirigakure Shinobi plant inside Rin, hoping it would cause an uprising upon their return to Konoha?]
At this moment, the long-absent Q&A section of the Inventory System suddenly appeared, but the question stumped everyone.
[Ōnoki: By the way, does Kirigakure have such a sophisticated technique? I'm not quite sure about it.]
[Rasa: Is there even a need to think about it? It's absolutely impossible.]
The Kage didn't consider the possibility of Tailed Beasts; in their minds, Tailed Beasts could indeed do this, but no one would actually do it.
After waiting for a long time without anyone answering the question, just when everyone was getting very anxious, something suddenly appeared and answered the question.
[White Zetsu: It's Tailed Beast, the Three-Tails.]
Just as everyone was wondering who this guy named Jue was, Jue stopped talking after answering the question, as if afraid of revealing something.
[Ding! Congratulations on your correct answer. You are rewarded with Enhanced Wood Release White Zetsu's Wood Release, fulfilling White Zetsu's wish to know about his bowel movements.]
As always, rewards were given out in the subsequent review, but this time the rewards were a bit hard to understand. Everyone could understand giving Enhanced Wood Release, since Wood Release is very powerful, but what's with the next one? Someone went through a lot of trouble to answer a question, and you rewarded them with this?
If I were this guy called White Zetsu, I'd bombard you with my thesis defense, and just throw out some random stuff to fool people.
[Ōnoki:!! It really is Tailed Beast, huh? I never even considered that possibility.]
[The Fourth Raikage: To be honest, Kirigakure and Konoha have a deep-seated hatred for each other; they're even willing to give away Tailed Beasts.]
[Hanzo of the Salamander: Damn it, the Tailed Beasts are in the hands of such a brainless Mizukage! Mizukage, you should leave this group; you don't deserve to be here.]
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Thanks for the Tailed Beast, bro.]
At this moment, Karatachi Yagura was completely dumbfounded. What happened? He had been kicked out of the Kage's circle in such a short time. And who was the brilliant strategist who came up with the idea of sealing the Tailed Beasts on the bodies of Konoha Ninjas? Here, you can take the position of Mizukage. You can be the Mizukage.
[Hozuki Mangetsu: No way, it really is Tailed Beast? Who came up with this brilliant idea?]
[Mei Terumi: How did he become the Mizukage of Kirigakure? I have a feeling he was sent by Konoha.]
[Ao: Didn't the Kirigakure Genji stop them? They just sent a Tailed Beast away like that.]
