Rin Nohara Didn't Want a Lifelong Regret (Parts One, Two, and Three)

Kaguya Yato died with a look of resentment on her face.

Mei Terumi actually dared to collude with the Konoha Ninja.

Moreover, he had never heard of any Konoha Ninja who knew Wood Release!

Unfortunately, all his confusion and resentment could only be carried into the Pure Land.

"Finally dead."

Mei Terumi leaned against the tree trunk, looking at Kaguya Yato's corpse, and let out a long sigh of relief.

She turned to look at Qingyu, a relieved expression on her scarred face.

Although Qingyu has a terrible personality, having such a super fighter like Qingyu isn't necessarily a bad thing.

"How did you get so badly injured?"

Qingyu raised an eyebrow.

Qingyu knelt down in front of Mei Terumi, and green Chakra condensed in his palm.

His Yang Release Chakra surged into Mei Terumi's body, repairing the damaged areas.

With the aid of her special abilities and Qingyu's own powerful Medical Ninjutsu, Mei Terumi's injuries were rapidly healing.

Qingyu was even able to multitask, simultaneously mobilizing Chakra to heal Mei Terumi while also re-injecting a surge of Chakra into her mind.

This Chakra will not affect Mei Terumi's daily life.

Just like how Minato Namikaze and Kushina both left Chakra inside Naruto.

Qingyu was only trying to intimidate Mei Terumi and make her cooperate with him.

Mei Terumi sensed Qingyu's actions, but did not stop him.

"This guy is so cautious."

Mei Terumi thought to herself that her life was now completely in Qingyu's hands.

But will this allow her to gain Qingyu's trust more?

If only I could figure out why Qingyu improved so quickly!

Mei Terumi pondered to herself, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

Before long, Mei Terumi's breathing gradually calmed down, and the paleness on her face slowly faded.

The Mei Terumi opened her eyes, Qingyu's face was right in front of her.

Their eyes met, making Mei Terumi quite uncomfortable for a while.

She looked away and gazed at Kaguya Yato's corpse in the distance.

"I was careless, he ambushed me."

Mei Terumi shook her head.

She thought the other party would hold back for a while, but they suddenly launched a sneak attack today.

That's why Mei Terumi activated the Chakra in her mind, and a moment later, Qingyu suddenly appeared before her.

"Is that so?"

After the treatment was nearly complete, Qingyu withdrew her hand and stood up.

Mei Terumi leaned against the tree trunk and slowly stood up, moving her left arm and right leg to confirm that the wound had completely healed.

She glanced down at her tattered cloak and blood-stained chainmail, her brow furrowing slightly.

"I need to retrieve the body."

Mei Terumi spoke.

This is common knowledge among ninjas in every ninja village.

Once the secret of Kekkei Genkai ninja is revealed to the outside world, it is possible that other ninja villages will uncover it.

"The body remains."

Qingyu shook her head.

He was also very curious about the "Shikotsumyaku".

After all, the manifestation of "Shikotsumyaku" and the appearance of the Kaguya Clan seem to be closely related to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Perhaps they are also descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, only their bones are a reversion to their ancestral form.

"----good."

Mei Terumi could only nod.

"Then I'll head back now."

She pulled up her hood to cover her face.

"You're just leaving like that?"

Qingyu called out to Mei Terumi.

What else do you want to do?

Mei Terumi stopped in her tracks and looked at Qingyu.

Kaguya Yato left Qingyu, Mei Terumi she had no idea what Qingyu was planning to do next.

"And the compensation?"

Qingyu extended her hand.

His appearance fee is very high.

What, you're asking me for money?

Mei Terumi was stunned on the spot.

How could there be such a despicable man in the world!

"What else?"

Qingyu countered with a question.

"Snort."

Mei Terumi let out a sigh of relief.

I'll endure it!

She tossed her Ninja Tool Pouch directly to Qingyu.

"There's some of my money and ninja tools inside, you can have them all."

After saying that, Mei Terumi left without stopping for a moment.

Fearing that if they left too late, Qingyu might make some more demands.

"This corpse can be given to Orochimaru."

Qingyu stroked her chin.

He hasn't conducted human experiments; it's better to leave that to Orochimaru.

In this way, he can obtain experimental data without getting his hands dirty.

Another week has passed.

Qingyu was studying scrolls on Fire Release and Wood Release techniques in his Camp Tent.

Suddenly, a ninja knelt on one knee outside the tent and handed over a transfer order stamped with the Hokage's seal.

Qingyu took the scroll and unfolded it. It instructed him to lead a small team to the border of the Land of Grass to cooperate with Orochimaru's forces in carrying out a surprise attack on the Iwagakure stronghold.

Accompanying them was a medical-nin squad, led by Rin Nohara.

Qingyu put away the transfer order and stood up.

The time has come.

He stepped out of the Camp Tent and found Rin Nohara organizing medical supplies in the camp.

She was squatting next to a pile of medicine boxes, her short brown hair tied back, revealing her fair, smooth nape.

Her fingers moved quickly among the rows of medicine bottles, counting the quantity.

"Lin."

Rin Nohara looked up, saw it was Qingyu, and instantly smiled.

"Qingyu."

She stood up and dusted off her knees.

Is there something you need?

You're going on this mission too.

Qingyu walked up to her and lowered her voice.

"It could be dangerous."

Rin Nohara paused for a moment, then nodded.

She is medical-nin, and going to the front lines to carry out missions is nothing new to her.

But Qingyu's special reminder made Rin Nohara very happy.

Qingyu took out a specially made three-pronged Kunai from his Ninja Tool Pouch and handed it to her.

The handle of the Kunai is engraved with intricate magical patterns.

"Here is the Flying Thunder God Kunai, take it."

Rin Nohara took the Kunai.

"I understand, Qingyu- kun."

She carefully tucked the Kunai into the innermost layer of her Ninja Tool Pouch.

Qingyu reached out and gently patted her shoulder.

In that instant, Qingyu silently left his Chakra on her shoulder.

A layer of the Flying Thunder God mark merged into her body, invisible to the naked eye and difficult to perceive.

It's worth noting that Obito, who was marked, didn't realize for over a decade that he had been tricked by Minato Namikaze and that he carried Minato Namikaze's mark on him at all times.

If Minato Namikaze hadn't died on the Night of the Nine-Tails' attack, Obito would have been forced to reveal his true form sooner or later thanks to the Flying Thunder God Mark.

"Be safe."

Qingyu withdrew her hand.

Rin Nohara looked up at him.

Qingyu's concern flattered her, her heart raced, and a warm feeling filled her body.

But at that moment, the image of another person appeared in her mind.

Yūhi Kurenai.

During this time, Yūhi Kurenai and Qingyu grew closer and closer.

She saw Yūhi Kurenai emerge from Qingyu's Camp Tent several times, her face bearing a blush and smile she had never seen before.

Yūhi Kurenai walked with smaller steps than usual, her waist was more supple than usual, and there was a captivating charm in her eyes and brows.

Rin Nohara knew that Qingyu's relationship with Yūhi Kurenai might be more complex than her own.

But at this moment, Qingyu's concern stirred up a bittersweet feeling in her heart.

Rin Nohara bit her lip.

She didn't want to live with regrets for the rest of her life!

This is her Shinobi Way!

Rin Nohara mustered her courage, then stood on tiptoe and kissed Qingyu.

Their lips met.

Qingyu raised an eyebrow. Why was Rin Nohara becoming more and more proactive?

A few seconds later, Rin Nohara took a step back.

"I—I'll go prepare now."

She turned and ran quickly toward the Medical Unit, her steps frantic as she nearly tripped over the medicine box on the ground.

Qingyu stroked her chin.

If Obito saw this scene, he would probably be in so much pain that his eyes would open on the spot.

He lowered his hand, turned, and walked towards his Camp Tent.

Several days later.

The border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass.

When Qingyu arrived with his team, it was already dark.

As soon as Qingyu entered the base, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her.

It was none other than Karin Uzumaki Qingyu hadn't seen in a long time.

She was wearing a green ninja vest and black trousers, and her long red hair was tied in a high ponytail.

At first glance, she does bear some resemblance to Kushina.

"Qingyu."

Karin Uzumaki waved her hand.

"Haven't seen you for a long time."

"Haven't seen you for a long time."

Qingyu nodded to her.

"How's your Sealing Technique coming along?"

Karin Uzumaki was curious.

I've learned a lot new things.

Qingyu nodded.

Afterwards, Qingyu asked Kakashi and Hyuga Ginka to go to the camp first, while he wanted to talk to Karin Uzumaki.

This time, only Kakashi and Hyuga Ginka Qingyu.

Rin Nohara, on the other hand, followed a different group of medical-nin.

However, they will also be in this camp.

Is Lin here yet?

Qingyu first asked Rin Nohara.

"Not yet."

Karin Uzumaki shook her head.

"Looks like I'm still early."

Qingyu said.

Then Qingyu asked about the Sealing Technique the Karin Uzumaki Pear.

With her Uzumaki bloodline, Karin Uzumaki learns Sealing Technique much more easily.

With Kushina's guidance, Karin Uzumaki became one of the most powerful sealing ninjas in Konoha.

The two talked for a full half hour.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Karin Uzumaki made the suggestion.

Qingyu has no problem with it.

The two walked side by side into the camp.

"The Sealing Technique system is too vast; I've only learned the basics."

Qingyu sighed.

"Fur?"

Karin Uzumaki turned her head and glanced at him, her red ponytail swaying over her shoulder.

"You're too modest, Qingyu."

Karin Uzumaki shook her head.

Currently, the only one whose talent in Sealing Technique can rival that of Qingyu is Karin Uzumaki Minato Namikaze.

Because Minato Namikaze improved the "Four Symbols Seal," he created the "Eight Trigrams Seal."

"The Sealing Technique of the Uzumaki Clan are rarely mastered by outsiders, except for members of the clan."

She paused.

"It's probably because you have the blood of the Senju Clan. The Senju and Uzumaki are distant relatives."

I think so.

Qingyu remained noncommittal.

"By the way, Karin- nee, why aren't you with Kushina- nee?"

Qingyu was puzzled.

"Kushina's Chakra is increasingly suppressing Nine-Tails."

Explanation of Karin Uzumaki.

"She doesn't need my help anymore, so my mission was long over. I've just stayed here to handle some other tasks."

o

Qingyu nodded.

In the original work, Kushina never went berserk again after she resolved her inner conflict.

As she grew older, her control over the Nine-Tails Chakra became stronger and stronger, and she was even able to maintain the stability of the seal during childbirth.

If it weren't for Obito, the Night of the Nine-Tails would never have happened.

As a survivor of the Uzumaki Clan, Karin Uzumaki was initially sent to Kushina's side to help suppress the Nine-Tails, but as Kushina's own abilities grew, this mission naturally came to an end.

"And you?"

"Karin Uzumaki," asked.

I heard you're fighting fiercely on the front lines.

"Fine."

Qingyu nodded.

There aren't many characters who could kill him in the Third Shinobi World War.

As long as Qingyu doesn't do anything reckless, she won't die at all.

As the two walked, the sounds of ninja tools clashing and the thunder of Lightning Style echoed from an open space ahead.

Qingyu looked up and saw two figures fighting at high speed in the open space.

Green steam and purple lightning intertwined, each collision leaving new cracks in the ground.

Might Guy opened the Sixth Gate.

His skin was dark red with prominent veins, and green steam constantly rose from his skin.

Kakashi stood opposite him, his left hand flashing with blue and white "Chidori," while his right hand was wrapped in purple "Purple Electricity."

Then he put his two hands together, and the lightning of Chidori and Purple Electricity merged in his palms, blue, white and purple intertwining into a composite lightning bolt.

The lightning bolt shot out from his palm and hurtled towards Might Guy.

Morning Peacock!

Might Guy also made his own response.

Boom!

Numerous fireballs and lightning bolts collided.

Qingyu stopped and looked at the compound lightning bolt in Kakashi's hand.

"Kakashi's Chakra control skills are improving day by day."

He thought to himself.

Chidori and Purple Electricity are both highly difficult Lightning Release Ninjutsu.

Maintaining and fusing two techniques simultaneously into Combined Ninjutsu requires extremely precise Chakra control.

Kakashi's ability to do this demonstrates that his mastery of Lightning Style is far superior to what it was in the original story.

Karin Uzumaki was also watching the battle over there.

"That guy in the green shirt, is that Might Guy?"

"Um."

His Taijutsu are very strong.

Qingyu said.

"I see."

Karin Uzumaki wasn't very familiar with Might Guy.

Might Guy also arrived here in the last few days.

Karin Uzumaki felt that the other person was somewhat of a strange person.

The battle in the open area continued as the two talked.

After a while, the two stopped fighting, each taking a few steps back, panting heavily.

"Not bad, Kakashi, your Lightning Style is getting more and more powerful!"

Might Guy gave Kakashi a thumbs up.

"You're not bad either."

Kakashi sheathed his Lightning Style and returned the White Fang Short Sword to its sheath.

Then the two noticed Qingyu and Karin Uzumaki standing not far away.

"Qingyu!"

Might Guy's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked up to Qingyu.

"You've come at the perfect time! Want to go for a 30km run together? Let's feel the passion of youth!"

I have other things to do today.

Qingyu shook her head.

Might Guy looked disappointed, but quickly regained his enthusiastic demeanor.

"Then next time! I have a new idea, let's train together then!"

"Good."

Qingyu responded.

How is the situation on the front lines?

"Not very optimistic."

Might Guy's expression turned serious.

"Iwagakure has established many strongholds in the heart of the Land of Grass, forming a network of defenses that has dispersed our forces."

It's difficult to achieve a breakthrough through concentrated effort.

Might Guy said.

"There will be a way."

Kakashi spoke thus.

Since the time Kannabi Bridge, he had developed a trust in Qingyu.

Kakashi even felt that Qingyu could always create miracles and was capable of anything.

If he had the same abilities as Qingyu, Obito might not have died.

Graveyard of Mountains.

Madara Uchiha gently tapped his knee with his withered fingers.

Before him, the White Zetsu emerged from the ground.

How are the preparations going?

"Madara Uchiha asked."

"Lord Madara, everything is ready."

The Spiral Face White Zetsu answered.

"Obito has completed all his Rehabilitation Training and his physical condition has reached the expected level. The troop deployment of Kirigakure has also been completed, and Iwagakure has confirmed its intention to cooperate."

What about Qingyu?

"Qingyu has arrived at Kusagakure; his team and the medical-nin team are both there."

Madara Uchiha nodded slightly.

Great, all the conditions are met.

Obito's body can already bear the burden of the Mangekyō. The combined actions of Kirigakure and Iwagakure can keep Konoha's attention focused on the front lines. All he needs to do is let the right tragedy happen at the right time.

"The time is set for three days from now."

Madara Uchiha spoke.

"We'll lure Qingyu and the others away first."

The White Zetsu responded in unison.

"Yes."

Madara Uchiha closed his eyes.

Izuna's image floated into his mind, overlapping with Qingyu's young face.

That child had eyes similar to Izuna's, talent similar to Izuna's, and even temperament similar to Izuna's.

But the Obito is different.

Obito needed more darkness, deeper despair, and to extinguish the last glimmer of light in his heart.

Rin Nohara.

Kakashi and Rin Nohara were the last glimmer of light in Obito's heart.

We must make Obito feel despair from them.

And Qingyu ----

Madara Uchiha opened his eyes and looked at the dark cavern above him.

Qingyu was his only remaining solace in this world.

So all he had to do was lure Qingyu away, keeping him away from the moment that would decide Obito's fate.

"White Zetsu."

"Yes."

"When you lure Qingyu away, don't let the people of Kirigakure hurt him."

Madara Uchiha issued another order.

"Yes, Lord Madara."

The White Zetsu responded.

Madara Uchiha closed his eyes again.

The Demonic Statue's Chakra continued to sustain his emaciated body.

That evening.

Qingyu and the others received new orders.

Intelligence has arrived from Konoha that there is an Iwagakure Village (Iwagakure) stronghold deep within the Land of Grass, storing a large amount of supplies and intelligence documents.

o

Destroying this stronghold would greatly weaken Iwagakure's ability to sustain operations in the Land of Grass.

The order required Qingyu to lead a team in a surprise attack.

When Qingyu took the scroll, she already had a judgment in her mind.

Luring the tiger away from the mountain.

He knew that Rin Nohara would be captured.

On the surface, the Kirigakure Anbu needed to transplant the Tailed Beast into Rin Nohara's body, then let Rin Nohara go berserk in Konoha, thus causing the Tailed Beast to cause great destruction to Konoha.

But in reality, it was all a show staged by Madara Uchiha to make Obito turn evil.

Qingyu had already placed the Flying Thunder God Mark on Rin Nohara beforehand.

He even secretly left a mark on Kakashi.

No matter what happens, he can get there in time.

Let's go.

Qingyu carefully put away the scroll and led the team to set off.

Accompanying them were Kakashi, Might Guy, and Hyuga Ginka, as well as Karin Uzumaki.

Kusagakure arranged for another team to protect the Medical Unit, but Qingyu knew in his heart that those arrangements would probably not be very effective.

The next day, the group arrived at the base.

It was an Iwagakure camp built against the mountain, located in a steep valley, accessible only by a narrow entrance.

The camp was surrounded by sentries, both visible and hidden, and traps could be seen faintly from the ground even from a distance.

Hyuga Ginka activated her Byakugan, and the veins on her forehead throbbed slowly.

"There are about thirty enemies, mostly Chunin, with four Jonin. There are Explosive Tag traps at Kakuzu of the camp, with the most concentrated traps at the entrance."

She crouched down and drew a simple sketch on the ground with her finger.

"The enemy's positions are here, here, and here."

She pointed to a few places.

"There are two visible sentry posts near the entrance, and about three hidden ones. If we step on Explosive Tag, the noise will alert the entire camp."

"Can't you mark the locations of all the Explosive Tag?"

Kakashi asked.

"Yes, but that's too much."

Hyuga Ginka shook her head.

"The Explosive Tag are distributed haphazardly; some are buried in the ground, some are stuck to trees, and some are hanging in bushes. It would take us at least half an hour to get around them."

"Half an hour is too long; the enemy has enough time to move supplies or call for reinforcements."

Karin Uzumaki also half-squatted down, looking at the drawing Hyuga Ginka had made.

She was wearing black ninja pants today, which tightened when she squatted down, outlining a full curve in her rounded buttocks.

Her gaze swept across the drawing, then she looked up.

"How about we sneak in again in the middle of the night?"

She suggested.

"The enemy's vigilance will be lower at night, so we can slowly clear the traps."

"Need not."

Qingyu shook her head.

Everyone looked at him.

"Let me."

Qingyu stood up and looked at the valley in front of her.

Karin Uzumaki paused for a moment.

"It's too risky for you to go alone."

Who said I was going there alone?

Qingyu shook her head slightly.

He Hand Seals, and the Chakra within his body began to surge.

Then Qingyu released his Chakra into his body, merging it with the Natural Energy in the air.

Sage's Gift!

Behind him, a ball of golden Chakra began to condense.

The Chakra rapidly expanded, transforming into a phantom several meters tall.

The silhouette of the phantom resembled the Thousand-Armed Kannon, with dozens of arms extending from its shoulder blades and back, each arm wrapped with golden Chakra patterns.

The illusory figure hovered behind Qingyu, solemn and dignified, like a moving Buddha statue.

Kakashi's eyes widened.

He could tell at a glance that this was the materialization of Chakra.

He couldn't even begin to estimate the sheer amount of Chakra required to release Chakra outside his body and solidify it.

"Why don't I just destroy most of their traps and ninjas now?"

Qingyu said calmly.

The next moment, a hint of red appeared at the corner of his eye.

Sage Mode!

He simultaneously mobilized the Senjutsu Chakra within his body and the Natural Energy of the outside world, causing the Thousand-Armed Kannon phantom behind him to grow even taller, increasing by several meters from its original size.

Then Qingyu manipulated the Thousand-Armed Kannon to conjure three bows and arrows.

Each bow is made of golden "Senjutsu Chakra," with the bowstring taut and the bow body curved like a full moon.

Golden Chakra arrows appeared on his other arm, their surfaces wreathed in Chakra Flames.

Qingyu drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

Three golden arrows were nocked simultaneously.

"You guys stay away."

Qingyu gave Kakashi and the others a reminder.

This was the first time the others had seen Qingyu use this technique, so they immediately kept a safe distance.

"What kind of technique is this?"

Karin Uzumaki was curious.

"I don't know, I've never seen Qingyu use it."

Karin Uzumaki shook her head.

After they left, Qingyu let go of her hand.

Call out!

The arrow was shot out.

The moment it was launched, the surrounding Natural Energy was stirred up, forming a spiral vortex.

The arrow, followed by a burst of violent airflow, caused the surrounding grass to bend low.

Kakashi, Hyuga Ginka Karin Uzumaki, and Karin Uzumaki even had to cover their eyes with their hands.

The raging winds have sent this area into chaos!

With the aid of "Senjutsu Chakra", the initial velocity of this arrow had already exceeded the speed of sound!

The arrow's speed continued to increase.

One times the speed of sound.

Twice the speed of sound

Three times the speed of sound!

All the tree trunks and soil along the way were destroyed by the spiraling airflow from the arrow.

Rumble!

The Explosive Tag was triggered by the shockwave of the arrow, and a series of explosions began to spread from the entrance.

Golden light and orange-red Kakkō intertwined, blasting the entrance to the entire valley so hard that the ground shook.
