Kakashi, You Actually... Stabbed Rin!

Kakashi, You Actually... Stabbed Rin! The Land of Hot Water was a long, narrow country. The Eastern Legion led by Namikaze Minato was fighting Kumogakure in the central region of the Land of Hot Water.

Nansha City was located near the southern part of the Land of Hot Water, relatively close to the Eastern Legion.

As a result, it received reinforcements first, and the casualties among Nansha City's personnel were relatively low.

The city's defensive system was also maintained fairly well.

As Namikaze Minato's prized disciple, Kakashi had successfully advanced to jonin at the age of just twelve. Like a rising star, he naturally attracted much attention.

For that reason, many Konoha shinobi flattered Kakashi, hoping to build a good relationship with him.

However, ever since White Bird City had fallen, the more than twenty people in the medical unit Nohara Rin belonged to had all been captured.

Over the past dozen days, Kakashi had continuously asked people to inquire everywhere about Nohara Rin's whereabouts, but he had never received any definite news.

That afternoon, deep in the dense forest, three Konoha shinobi hurried toward Hatake Kakashi.

The lead shinobi bowed respectfully. "Jonin Kakashi, we found traces of Nohara Rin near the eastern coast. There are more than fifty Kirigakure shinobi nearby. It looks like they're planning to withdraw to the Land of Water. Should we wait for Lord Minato...?"

Upon hearing news of Nohara Rin, Kakashi's pupils contracted slightly.

"No need. I'll handle this."

His voice was somewhat cold. After biting his thumb open, he slammed it against the ground. "Summoning Technique!"

As the smoke dispersed, eight ninja hounds of varying shapes sat neatly in a row.

The bulldog at the front, Pakkun, twitched his nose. "Kakashi, are we looking for that little girl again?"

For once, Kakashi's voice carried a trace of excitement. "Pakkun, please. Help me find Rin. They're near the eastern coast!"

Pakkun nodded. "Don't worry, Kakashi. We're very familiar with Rin's scent."

Then he turned to the other ninja hounds. "Bull, Urushi, you're in charge of the eastern shoreline. Akino, Guruko, search the reef area..."

Kakashi had already rushed off, his white spiky hair flickering in and out of view amid the shadows of the trees.

Pakkun sighed and quickly followed him. "Kid, don't go charging in recklessly again this time..."

The ninja hounds had powerful senses of smell. Following Rin's scent, they quickly found Nohara Rin tied up with ropes inside a cave.

Pakkun raised his head, his nose twitching. "Kakashi, this is a trap. There are scents from more than fifty people around here."

Yet after seeing Rin, Kakashi did not spare a thought for anything else. He used the Body Flicker Technique and appeared directly at Nohara Rin's side.

He gently woke her up and untied her.

After waking, Nohara Rin sensed that something was wrong.

Pressing her trembling fingers against her abdomen, she said, "Kakashi, there seems to be something inside my stomach."

More than fifty Kirigakure Anbu were concealed nearby, watching the two from the shadows.

A Kirigakure jonin whispered, "Captain, should we go capture them?"

The captain gave a tactical hand signal. "Don't forget our mission. We'll pretend to pursue them and drive them to Nansha City. Then we'll undo the seal and let her release the Three-Tails..."

Seeing Nohara Rin escape, the Kirigakure Anbu no longer needed to conceal themselves and all revealed themselves at once.

Pakkun raised his head and assumed an attacking stance. Like a vicious dog guarding its food, he let out a low growl. "Grr... grr..."

But when he saw the Kirigakure shinobi throwing kunai at them, he immediately shouted, "Retreat...!"

After saying that, the many ninja hounds vanished in a puff of smoke.

Kakashi and Nohara Rin could only turn and flee for their lives.

Uchiha Obito ran at full speed, darting through the forest. "White Zetsu, why isn't my teacher with Rin and Kakashi?"

White Zetsu's voice clung to him like a festering wound. "Namikaze Minato is carrying out another mission!"

Uchiha Obito raced onward. "Damn it, whenever he's needed, he's never there. Kakashi, you promised me you'd protect Rin... Faster... faster... I'm almost there..."

As an outstanding medical shinobi, Nohara Rin sensed the abnormality in her body. "Kakashi, they sealed a Tailed Beast inside me. Kill me. I'm about to lose control of my body!"

Kakashi drew two kunai and turned around. "You run first. I'll hold them back! I promised Obito that I'd protect you!"

However, just as Kakashi used Chidori and charged toward the Kirigakure shinobi, Nohara Rin suddenly leaped in front of him.

Splat!

A gruesome bloom of blood burst from Nohara Rin's chest, spraying blood across Kakashi's stunned face.

"Kakashi, you stabbed me!"

Her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. Her body had suddenly gone out of control.

She desperately wanted to say that this was a conspiracy, but her lips only trembled. "Ka... ka... shi..."

After calling his name in three broken syllables, Nohara Rin lost all life and collapsed into Kakashi's arms.

"Aah... Aah... Aaaah...!"

A heart-rending roar echoed across a hundred-meter radius. Uchiha Obito's two-tomoe Sharingan spun madly before finally transforming into the shape of a three-bladed shuriken.

Kakashi... you actually... stabbed Rin...

Kakashi's left eye also transformed into the shape of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Kakashi already had little chakra to begin with, and he was not a member of the Uchiha Clan. This Kamui Mangekyō Sharingan directly drained all his chakra, causing him to lose consciousness.

Watching this farce unfold, the Kirigakure Anbu knew their mission had failed, and they were furious.

The leading Kirigakure shinobi said angrily, "Send a few people to kill that screaming bastard. He's making so much noise."

A Kirigakure Anbu used the Body Flicker Technique to rush over. The Kamui Dimension distorted around Uchiha Obito, and the attack passed straight through his body.

Then a section of tree branch extended from Uchiha Obito's arm and pierced directly through that Kirigakure Anbu's body.

"This guy's got some skill. Everyone, attack together!"

Four Kirigakure Anbu attacked Uchiha Obito from four directions, but their blades passed directly through his body.

At that moment, Uchiha Obito was like an untouchable ghost.

His figure flickered in and out of sight, and every appearance was accompanied by the sound of flesh tearing.

"M-Monster...!" The Kirigakure captain watched in terror as his companion's throat was pierced by suddenly appearing wooden spikes.

When the last Kirigakure shinobi was twisted into the shape of a pretzel, Uchiha Obito gently lifted Rin's gradually cooling body.

Bloody tears flowed through the spiral pattern of his white mask.

His voice seemed to come from Hell. "This false world... is the real Hell... Rin, I'll create a world where you exist..."
