Konan Tasted the Sweetness of Revenge, Obito Broke Down
Naruto didn't know what Obito Uchiha plan was, but he knew all too well what Obito's intentions were. The long-awaited reunion after such a life-or-death separation must be something to look forward to.
Unfortunately, Naruto will definitely not let him have his way.
The resurrection ritual was nearing its end. Rin Nohara's body had adapted to her soul, and she appeared to be in her early twenties. She hovered in the night sky, seemingly about to awaken.
"Did it succeed?" Obito Uchiha looked up at the night sky and murmured weakly to himself.
Looking at that increasingly realistic figure, somewhat different from the image in my memory, I could recognize it at a glance—it was Rin Nohara. The real Rin Nohara, without a doubt.
At the same time, Obito suddenly sensed a strong sense of malice and turned his head sharply. He immediately met a pair of vicious eyes; Naruto was looking at him with a cold smile.
He had seen those cold laughs; they were all from vicious and ruthless individuals. These were either desperate rebels or schizophrenic lunatics.
I never imagined I would see such an expression on the face of a promising ninja from Konohagakure, one that was even more sinister and vicious than Danzo's, with no attempt to conceal his overwhelming malice.
Instantly, a chill ran down his spine, and his heart skipped a beat. He knew something was wrong; this man was up to no good.
Or perhaps he deliberately waited until now to make his move.
A surge of intense anger welled up within Obito. This guy hadn't made a move earlier; he was just waiting for this. This guy was definitely no pushover; he deserved to die.
"What do you want to do?" he stared at Naruto, his voice hoarse.
"Is it almost over?" Naruto grinned maliciously as he slowly walked towards Rin Nohara. "I'm not doing anything. Rin Nohara is Konohagakure ninja, so of course I'm taking her back."
"You're a rogue ninja, what right do you have to expect Rin Nohara to see you? Your very existence is a mistake. Do you want Rin Nohara to end up like you?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Obito staggered to his feet, his mask falling off to reveal his aged and withered face.
The purple Rinnegan looked like an onion, giving people goosebumps.
"Of course it's related to me. I'm not like you, a rogue ninja. The Will of Fire is inexhaustible, and you can't understand my passionate love for the villagers."
Naruto wore a mocking smile, his eyes constantly fixed on Rin Nohara in mid-air.
"Rin Nohara was Konohagakure ninja. She was Konohagakure person before she died, and she is a Konohagakure ghost after she dies. In any case, she shouldn't be with someone like you."
"You promised me!" Obito gritted his teeth. The resurrection ceremony wasn't completely over yet, so he could only try his best to suppress his anger. His gaze towards Naruto was extremely vicious.
The two loathed each other and wished they could tear each other apart. The only reason they stood together to revive Rin Nohara was that they each had their own ulterior motives.
"What did I promise you?" Naruto asked with a smile. "Didn't I already revive Rin Nohara for you? But I didn't say I'd let Rin Nohara see you."
"She belongs to the village, not to you."
"You're asking for death!" Obito Uchiha roared, and countless White Zetsu surged out from the forest.
White Zetsu spread like snow growing from the ground, rapidly expanding at an indescribable speed, like a substance attached to bones, sending chills down one's spine.
When Naruto learned that there were a large number of White Zetsu here, he realized that Kabuto had most likely transformed into Jackie Chan, and that Obito Uchiha's lack of news a few days ago was probably due to his contact with Kabuto.
Every time Naruto thought about this, a strange feeling welled up inside him. Did Kabuto, who was so carefree, know that Orochimaru was still alive?
He suddenly thought of a joke: Orochimaru: I heard you've been saying everywhere that I'm dead?
The roar of the White Zetsu pulled him back to reality. Looking at the countless White Zetsu covering the mountains, Naruto didn't take it too seriously. Relying on sheer numbers?
It might work for others, but it's clearly not enough for Naruto Uzumaki. The White Zetsu just a bunch of clones, no match for the immortal Edo Tensei Army.
With a snap, he slapped his fingers like Thanos.
Amidst the White Zetsu's roar, the ground suddenly trembled violently. Obito Uchiha some distance away, was stunned; his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Could this commotion be...?
Thump, thump, thump—the sound of countless wooden hammering echoed. Thousands of coffins rose from the forest, directly scattering the charging White Zetsu army.
The wooden coffin bounced up in the sea of White Zetsu, lifting them up like waves, making them surge and boil. Thump, thump, thump, the coffin opened completely.
The number of soldiers Impure World Reincarnation technique was not large. Compared to the tens of thousands of White Zetsu that Obito Uchiha had deployed on the border of the Land of Fire, the number of soldiers was only a mere one or two thousand.
Even so, the army Impure World Reincarnation showed no emotion and no hesitation. Two waves, one white and one gray, intertwined, their boundaries indistinguishable.
"Impure World Reincarnation? How could this be!" Obito Uchiha somewhat heavy.
He was no stranger to the Impure World Reincarnation ritual. Just a few days ago, when he met with that extreme madman, Kabuto, he had seen him use the Impure World Reincarnation Ninjutsu inherited from Orochimaru.
However, completing this Ninjutsu is not easy. First, you need to obtain the corpse fragments of the target of the Impure World Reincarnation, and then you need to use a sacrifice to successfully perform the Impure World Reincarnation.
This is just one person's Impure World Reincarnation; if multiple people were to be reincarnated simultaneously, the difficulty would increase significantly. Leaving aside digging up graves and searching for skin fragments, the offerings themselves are quite mentally taxing.
While White Zetsu can serve as perfect sacrifices, the Chakra or energy required to sacrifice four White Zetsu simultaneously is considerable.
In any case, it can't be as simple as Naruto snapping his fingers.
This isn't a simplification, it's blatant cheating!
But in that instant, Obito Uchiha had no mind to care about anything else. Because Rin Nohara's resurrection ritual had ended, and Rin Nohara, enveloped in a green cocoon of life energy, twitched her eyelids, as if she was about to open her eyes at any moment.
This scene also caught Naruto's attention. He ignored the White Zetsu army in the midst of battle and instead looked up slightly, squinting at Rin Nohara.
But at that moment, a sudden change occurred.
A white figure flashed across the night sky. Konan spread her huge paper wings and rushed over in a flash.
In an instant, her body disintegrated, transforming into countless white paper fragments. These fragments instantly formed a larger white paper cocoon around the green one.
Naruto understood perfectly. Taking advantage of Obito Uchiha's attention being drawn to the strange phenomenon created by Konan, he used the Flying Thunder God Kunai that he had placed on Konan beforehand to switch places and ascend into the sky the moment Konan disintegrated.
Before the paper was wrapped into a cocoon, he activated the Four Symbols Seal and directly sucked Rin Nohara into it, then used the Flying Thunder God Kunai to switch her back in the blink of an eye.
To outsiders, Naruto's figure flickered for a fleeting moment, like a frame dropping. But it quickly stabilized, as if nothing had happened.
No one could tell that he had instantly switched the objects; the real Rin Nohara had been sucked into the Sealing Space, and only Konan was inside the paper cocoon.
"Konan! How come you're not dead?" Obito Uchiha stood up, supporting his broken body. He was now like a candle in the wind, barely clinging to life.
White Zetsu has been blocked and cannot get through at all.
Obito Uchiha never expected that Naruto would have a way to stop the White Zetsu army. Even though he wanted to make another preparation, it was too late.
Kabuto gave him an army of 10,000 White Zetsu, promising that even if Hashirama Senju were alive, it would take him ten minutes to fight, which would be enough to buy him time.
But who could have imagined that life is so unpredictable?
After the resurrection ceremony, Obito became sluggish, both physically and mentally. He was completely unaware of Naruto's actions, like a madman at the mercy of others.
He shook his head hard, barely managing to make out the paper cocoon in front of him. The next second, the paper cocoon burst open, Obito saw Konan throw Rin Nohara to the ground like a doll.
"Rin!" Obito Uchiha widened in anger as he stumbled and ran toward the direction where Rin Nohara had fallen.
But his movements were too slow, and his mind was too sluggish. The last vestige of life force in his body held him at his core, and kept him alive until his last breath.
In the final moments of a person's life, their mind is in a state of confusion, and they act almost entirely on a single, unwavering belief.
Even if Konan in mid-air is just a Paper Clone, even if the Rin Nohara who is thrown to the ground is not Rin Nohara at all, but just Konan using her Transformation Jutsu to impersonate her.
He couldn't tell the difference; he simply couldn't tell the difference.
Konan had died once, and no one understood Obito Uchiha's current state better than her. It was precisely because of this that she was able to comprehend the malice of Naruto's plan.
The last urge a person has before death is intense; they will desperately grasp at any straw. Obito Uchiha Rin Nohara, and seeing Rin Nohara injured would have made him think nothing of it.
Anger, panic, and fear—these negative emotions would further impact Obito Uchiha's already fragile will, distracting him and preventing him from thinking.
Even though the plan was riddled with flaws, in front of the person he cared about most, in this precarious state, emotions would overcome reason, driving him to madness.
The more you try to stay clear-headed, the longer your emotions are stretched out. It's like entering a movie with only color, where your emotions are completely pulled along and arbitrarily molded.
With a thud, before Obito Uchiha stumble and stumble to the scene, Konan was caught by Naruto.
"Let go! Take your hand off me!" Obito's eyes were almost bloodshot as he stared intently at Naruto, on the verge of spitting blood. "Get away from me!"
Naruto was holding Konan, but in Obito Uchiha's eyes, he was holding Rin Nohara, who had just been resurrected. Even though Konan's face didn't show much expression, in Obito's mind it was Rin Nohara, with a slightly bewildered look on her face.
His eyes were practically bursting with rage as he glared intently at Naruto's hand.
"Let go? Why should I?" Naruto looked at Obito Uchiha and a smile appeared on his face. "Why don't you ask Rin Nohara?"
He knew the other woman was already at a low blood temperature and unconscious, which suited him perfectly. Obito had already mistaken Konan for Konan newly resurrected Rin Nohara; very good.
"Rin!" Obito Uchiha turned to look at Konan, as if he had gone mad. He walked over step by step and reached out his hand, asking tremblingly.
"Lin, come here, come here to me, I... cough cough!"
Obito coughed up blood, clutched his chest, and his face instantly turned pale as he frowned. Even so, he persisted in moving towards Konan.
Konan coldly watched Obito Uchiha, who looked flustered and somewhat humble. She had never seen the proud and aloof Obito with such an expression, thinking of the deceased Yahiko and Nagato.
For some reason, a twisted sense of vengeful pleasure suddenly welled up inside her. She suddenly understood Naruto's intentions; was this the taste of revenge?
Watching Obito Uchiha humbly, dragging his broken body and barely clinging to life, Konan almost laughed. Her desire for revenge was uncontrollable, creeping wildly through her heart like vines.
Obito Uchiha, weren't you living the high life?
So you do have someone you care about. So one day you'll crawl on the ground like a dog. It's true, fate is a very strange thing.
When Yahiko died, was this how he watched from the sidelines? What was he thinking then? Perhaps he didn't care at all; why would those people care about the life or death of a pawn?
Now everything has been reversed.
"I," she began, her voice already that of Rin Nohara, almost instinctively speaking, timidly saying, "I don't know you."
With a loud bang, Obito Uchiha on the spot, staring at Rin Nohara in astonishment. His outstretched hand trembled, and disbelief filled his eyes.
"Lin, it's me."
Before Obito could finish speaking, Konan had already hidden behind Naruto. Naruto didn't tell her what to do or how to act; he just told her to improvise.
Naruto figured Konan always had a cool and aloof demeanor, so he figured she probably couldn't pull off those affected, pretentious poses. Since she couldn't act it out, he figured he'd just have to improvise; otherwise, it would be embarrassing if he messed things up.
But he didn't expect Konan's acting skills to suddenly take off. She was clearly rubbing salt into Obito Uchiha's wounds. Seeing Obito Uchiha's heartbroken expression, Naruto's eyelids twitched slightly.
Things seemed to be taking a strange turn. The next second, Konan secretly pulled Naruto away. From Obito's perspective, it looked like Naruto was trying to do something indecent to Rin Nohara.
"Holy crap?"
This completely stunned Naruto. Was the pace a bit too fast? Although the plan mentioned kissing, that was a scene for later.
That's all. After all, you can't just do that in front of a dying Obito, can you? Even Naruto thought that was too overpowered.
The scene was unimaginable, too...
But Konan didn't seem to think so. She lowered her voice and said two words.
"Hurry up."
Hurry up? He paused for a moment, but quickly realized what was going on. Konan was obsessed with revenge and was determined to see the play through to the end, preparing to give Obito Uchiha a little shock.
