Rin Nohara's Abduction (Parts 1, 2, and 3, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)

After the first arrow produced a massive explosion.

The second arrow flew past the entrance and struck the supply storage area in the camp.

Boom!

Another explosion rang out.

The supplies were blown into the air by the explosion, tents were overturned, and wooden crates were blasted into pieces.

The third arrow struck the watchtower behind the camp.

Boom!

The watchtower collapsed in the explosion, and the Sensor Ninja on it were buried in the rubble before they could even sound an alarm.

"Enemy attack!"

The remaining enemies in the camp finally realized what was happening, but they didn't know where the attack had come from.

All the traps they left behind were triggered by the explosions of their own Explosive Tag, and the Sensor Ninja planted in the distance were killed by the explosions of their own Explosive Tag, causing the entire defense system to collapse instantly.

"Let's go, let's go now."

Qingyu dispelled the Thousand-Armed Kannon phantom, the red hue fading from the corners of her eyes, and addressed the crowd behind her.

Karin Uzumaki stood there, dumbfounded.

Her red eyes reflected the distant Kakkō of explosions, and the continuous sounds of explosions filled her ears; she didn't know what to say.

"Is that all?"

Karin Uzumaki had never seen such Ninjutsu before.

This was completely beyond her understanding of ninja abilities.

Hyuga Ginka was stunned for a while before she came to her senses and reactivated her Byakugan to check the situation ahead.

"Trap zone—all triggered, enemies—"

Hyuga Ginka found it unbelievable.

Most of them are dead; the rest are fleeing towards the back of the camp.

"Chase."

Qingyu led the way into the valley.

The group passed through the bombed-out entrance and entered the Iwagakure Camp.

The remaining enemies had lost their will to resist. Kakashi and Might Guy quickly eliminated the remaining ninjas, while Karin Uzumaki used Sealing Technique to Jonin two Jonin who were trying to escape.

The battle ended quickly.

While searching the camp, Qingyu suddenly stopped beside a corpse.

It was the corpse of a Chunin, his chest pierced by Kunai; the cause of death was clear.

But when Qingyu crouched down, his Sensory Barrier detected an extremely faint trace of Chakra remaining on the corpse.

That Chakra carried a dark feeling.

Qingyu had studied "Dark Medical Ninjutsu" and was exceptionally sensitive to this kind of Dark Chakra.

"Is this person involved with Shinnō?"

Qingyu pondered to herself.

In the current Shinobi World, only Shinnō can use Dark Chakra to enhance the human body.

Shinnō is the leader of the Land of Sky and possesses "Dark Medical Ninjutsu," which allows him to enhance the human body to its limits using Dark Chakra.

In the original work, Shinnō could even use Dark Chakra to strengthen himself and regain his youth.

It is even possible to use the "Eight Inner Gates" to open the Gate of Death.

Qingyu stood up.

If Shinnō can collect these traits, it should be helpful for his Medical Ninjutsu and physical enhancement.

Perhaps we should see if we can get in touch with Shinnō.

Qingyu thought this way.

That night, the group found a secluded cave in the valley to rest.

A campfire was lit inside the cave.

Kakashi stood guard at the cave entrance.

It was his turn to keep watch today.

Might Guy lay on the stone ground, fast asleep.

Might Guy, who trains intensely Tenten, values sleep very much.

I fell asleep almost as soon as I lay down.

"She fell asleep quickly."

Kakashi's secret passage.

He also wished he had the same kind of sleep as Might Guy.

"Thankfully, I have Qingyu and Lin, and these companions."

Kakashi thought to himself.

He can't change the past, but he should at least cherish the present.

He must protect everyone!

Kakashi thought to himself, then took out his Ninja Blade, preparing to perform maintenance.

Hyuga Ginka and Karin Uzumaki leaned against each other, still awake, gossiping about girly things.

Qingyu sat by the fire and glanced at the trait panel he had collected during the day's battle.

Most of them are scattered traits of grade E and D, nothing particularly noteworthy.

The next day.

As soon as it was light, after everyone had eaten their dry rations, they began to head back.

After a day of travel, Qingyu and the others returned to their camp.

A faint smell of blood permeated the camp, and several ninjas had bandages wrapped around their arms.

What happened?

Kakashi quickly walked up.

A Chunin raised his head from the ruins.

"The ninjas from Kirigakure attacked this place last night."

Kakashi's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Where's the Medical Unit?"

His voice suddenly became urgent.

Where is Rin Nohara?

The Chunin lowered his head, not daring to look Kakashi in the eye.

"The Medical Unit —was captured by the Kirigakure ninja, Rin Nohara —was also captured."

Upon hearing this, Qingyu was not surprised.

He had anticipated this outcome.

Madara Uchiha needed to plunge Obito into darkness, and Rin Nohara was the perfect material for that.

The tactics of luring the tiger away from the mountain and feinting to the east while attacking in the west have already been used once in the original work; this is just a rehash of old tricks.

"Kakashi, calm down."

Qingyu reached out and pressed down on Kakashi's shoulder.

Kakashi covered his eyes; the Sharingan he inherited from Obito seemed to sense something, sending a slight stinging sensation through him.

Kakashi discovered that, in his emotional state, he could see a dark cave.

The scene was fleeting; Kakashi only vaguely saw a few white figures.

"Lin is not in danger for the time being."

Qingyu comforted Kakashi.

Kakashi nodded, realizing he had been a bit too hasty.

"I'll go find the person in charge here."

Qingyu released his grip and turned to walk towards the Main Tent of the camp.

The Jonin in charge, Mizuo Genshi, sat in the Main Tent, with a map soaked by the rain spread out in front of him.

He was a man in his forties, with a haggard face, prominent cheekbones, and a thick bandage wrapped around his left arm, with blood seeping from under the gauze.

Seeing Qingyu walk in, Mizuo Genshi looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his tired eyes.

"Qingyu."

"I'm going to rescue the medical-nin who was captured by Kirigakure."

Qingyu Gate of Opening.

Mizuo Genshi frowned.

"Qingyu, I know you are very strong, but the people from Kirigakure this time are all elites, and they are very familiar with the terrain of this area. If we rashly pursue them—"

"I Flying Thunder God Technique."

Qingyu interrupted him.

Mizuo Genshi's words stuck in his throat.

He stared at Qingyu for a few seconds, his lips moved, but in the end he just sighed deeply and nodded.

"I understand. How many people are needed?"

"I don't need too many, a few people will suffice."

Qingyu turned and walked out of the Main Tent.

Kakashi and Might Guy were already waiting outside the tent.

I'll go too.

Kakashi spoke.

He followed them all the way and overheard the conversation between Qingyu and Mizuo Genshi.

"I'm going too! That's the mission of youth!"

Might Guy gave a thumbs-up, flashing a set of white teeth.

Qingyu glanced at the two of them and nodded.

He selected several ninjas skilled in tracking and perception, and also had Hyuga Ginka and Karin Uzumaki accompany him.

Hyuga Ginka's Byakugan is unmatched in tracking, while Karin Uzumaki's Sealing Technique are extremely useful when dealing with Jinchuriki.

Once the team was assembled, Qingyu walked to the front of the group.

He closed his eyes, sensing the Flying Thunder God Mark he had left on Rin Nohara.

The marker is still there, but its location has shifted.

"The lack of overlap means my Flying Thunder God Kunai has been discarded."

Qingyu pondered to herself.

The enemy was clever; she probably dropped the Kunai somewhere when she was captured, so that even if the enemy picked Kunai up, it wouldn't reveal Qingyu's Flying Thunder God coordinates.

But Qingyu's true mark wasn't on the Kunai, but on Rin Nohara's shoulder.

This is a double insurance plan devised by Qingyu.

Qingyu opened her eyes and looked westward.

The rain seemed to sense the suppressed emotions of everyone.

Splash!

A light rain began to fall.

Kakashi felt that even the rain couldn't cool down the anger in his heart.

If something happens to Rin Nohara, how will he face Obito after he dies?

"There."

Qingyu led the way, rushing into the rain.

The group moved swiftly through the dense forests of the Land of Grass.

The ground was muddy and slippery after the rain.

Qingyu led the group to leap directly from tree to tree.

After lowering the tree trunk, he used the momentum to leap several meters in one bound.

The entire convoy was moving at high speed.

"It's time to summon the Slug."

Qingyu bit her thumb, drawing blood, and slammed her palm into the ground.

Summoning Jutsu.

As the white smoke dissipated, a Slug the size of a palm appeared on his shoulder.

Its antennae twitched gently.

"Lord Slug, thank you for your trouble."

"Leave it to me, Lord Qingyu."

The Slug knew what Qingyu wanted her to do.

So she obediently climbed onto his shoulder and lay down, and began to slowly infuse Natural Energy into his body.

A light red eyeshadow appeared at the corner of Qingyu's eyes, indicating that she had activated "Sage Mode".

With the Slug's blessing, his "Sage Mode" will be slightly stronger than his normal state.

In an instant, Qingyu's senses expanded rapidly under the blessing of "Sage Mode," spreading outwards like an invisible net.

Everything within a radius of tens of kilometers appeared in his perception: trees, rocks, water, birds and beasts, and the White Zetsu hidden underground.

With the expanded range of perception, the effectiveness of [Malice Perception] is also enhanced.

At the same time, Qingyu sensed Rin Nohara.

"Found it."

Qingyu thought to herself.

In his perception, Rin Nohara was moving, being led by several Kirigakure Ninja towards a cave to the west.

Qingyu sensed another surge of Chakra.

Tailed Beast Chakra.

Three-Tails.

The Chakra was sealed in a container and was being carried by the Kirigakure Mist Ninja towards Rin Nohara.

Immediately afterwards, Qingyu sensed a massive fluctuation of Chakra.

The sealing ninja is releasing the Three-Tails from its container, and the Tailed Beast Chakra is surging out of the sealing container.

The Three-Tails has reappeared in the world.

But before the Three-Tails could even experience this brief freedom, the sealing ninjas of Kirigakure began to seal it, intending to seal it into Rin Nohara's body.

Qingyu paused slightly in her steps.

The fact that the Three-Tails remained Rin Nohara's body might not be a bad thing.

In the original story, Rin Nohara was the Jinchuriki the Three-Tails, and Kakashi killed her because she could not withstand the power of the Tailed Beast.

However, if she can control the Three-Tails 'Chakra, it will be a powerful asset.

Kiyoyu's Mangekyou Sharingan power is more than enough to help Nohara Rin suppress the Three-Tails.

Therefore, Qingyu intends to complete the seal.

"Did you sense it?"

Kakashi asked anxiously.

"We know the direction now, Lin is out of danger for the time being."

Qingyu nodded.

"She's moving, being carried by Kirigakure ninjas; the Three-Tails is being sealed inside her."

Kakashi's eyes widened.

"The Three-Tails —they want to make Rin Jinchuriki?"

"Right."

Qingyu looked at Kakashi.

"But this might not be a bad thing for her. If she can control the Three-Tails 'Chakra, no one will dare to mess with her easily in the future."

Kakashi paused for a moment, then nodded.

"But Lin is still in danger, let's hurry over there."

Kakashi said.

"Good."

Qingyu continued leading the others forward.

Meanwhile, the Graveyard of Mountains.

As the group traveled, Obito's long hair had already reached his shoulders.

Black hair covered half of his face, revealing only his intact Sharingan.

His right side was covered in white skin, completely different from the original skin color of his left side.

Obito looked at the dimly lit ceiling and felt happy.

He is stronger now than ever before.

"I'll see you all soon."

In Obito's mind, Rin Nohara's voice and smile, and Kakashi's smug expression appeared.

Just then, a White Zetsu emerged from the stone.

"I just went outside, something terrible has happened, Obito."

"!"

What happened?

Obito jumped out of bed.

White Zetsu said that Rin Nohara was surrounded by Kirigakure ninjas.

In Obito haste, Obito jumped up and concentrated his Chakra in his white right arm.

Boom!

He struck the stone wall, creating a crater.

But his white arm also broke off.

"Damn it, this arm is still too fragile."

Obito cursed under his breath.

"Your body still needs to adapt to Chakra; it can't break rocks right now."

A White Zetsu emerged from the stone wall.

"I must go save Lin!"

Obito threw his severed arm to the ground and clenched his left fist.

Rin Nohara's face appeared in his mind.

If anything happens to Lin, I will never forgive myself, not even for the Dai Jū life.

"Let me help you, Obito."

White Zetsu tilted his head, and his spiral-patterned face split open in the middle, revealing an empty body.

The body resembled a layer of white armor, its surface covered with spiral patterns, and its interior was hollow, just large enough to accommodate a human.

"But aren't you one of Madara's subordinates?"

Obito taken aback for a moment.

This White Zetsu was created by Madara Uchiha, so why help him leave?

"Didn't you want to save them? You can't worry about that now."

White Zetsu said.

Obito looked at that face with spiral patterns.

He recalled the moments he had spent with these white-clad figures during this time.

Thank you.

Obito donned the body of White Zetsu.

The white armor closed up, enveloping his body.

He could feel the White Zetsu Chakra merging with his own, creating an even more powerful force that surged into his limbs and Chakra.

He clenched his fist, and this time, he could feel every finger brimming with power.

Obito raised his head and looked at the stone wall in front of him.

He clenched his right fist, concentrated Chakra in his white arm, and then unleashed a punch.

Rumble!

The massive rock wall shattered under his fist, sending debris flying.

A crack extended upwards from the point of impact, running through the entire stone wall.

"Very good."

Obito looked at his fist.

This is much more impressive than he imagined.

He turned around and glanced towards the depths of the cave.

Madara Uchiha leaned against the corner, opened his Sharingan, and looked at Obito.

Are you leaving?

"I'm very grateful that you saved me, but I have to go now."

Obito looked at Madara.

He knew Madara was strong, but he didn't want to stay here.

Lin is still waiting for him.

"You're in too much of a hurry. It might be too early to thank me."

"Anyway, I've thanked you, and I'm leaving!"

Obito spoke again.

You will definitely come back.

"I will accept your true gratitude then."

Madara Uchiha gave a mysterious smile.

"White one! Where's Lin? Take me there right now!"

Obito, too lazy to deal with Madara Uchiha, had White Zetsu take him there.

"The one attached to you is my clone. We can communicate telepathically within a certain distance. Now I will show you the way."

The White Zetsu attached to Obito spoke.

Obito.

Before leaving, Obito also saw various ninja tools and a black cloak hanging on the wall.

He casually put on a cloak, covering his white skin.

Obito didn't want Rin Nohara to see him like this.

On the other side.

As Qingyu's group traveled through the dense forest, several figures suddenly appeared in the rain ahead.

Kirigakure Anbu.

They wore gray vests, masks of various shapes, and carried Ninja Blade and Kunai.

Their formation spread out, blocking their path forward.

"Get out of my way!"

Kakashi was extremely anxious. He pushed off the ground with his right foot, and purple arcs of electricity appeared. He transformed into a bolt of purple lightning and charged into the enemy ranks.

Purple Electricity!

With a slash of the short sword, the purple lightning blade felled the nearest Anbu member to the ground.

Kakashi didn't pause. He turned his feet, his blade flipped, and the aftershock of the Purple Electricity knocked the second Anbu back several steps.

Might Guy followed closely behind.

He pulled nunchucks from his Ninja Tool Pouch, and green steam billowed from his body.

He charged into the enemy ranks, his nunchucks swirling into two green whirlwinds.

Under Might Guy's fierce attack, the Kirigakure Anbu's Ninja Blade were knocked out of their hands by the impact of the nunchucks.

Hyuga Ginka also activated her Byakugan.

Her palm struck the enemy's meridian points, instantly disrupting the Chakra of the Anbu and causing their limbs to go numb.

Karin Uzumaki stood behind, her hands Hand Seals.

Adamantine Sealing Chains!

Golden chains shot out from her palms, wrapping around several Kirigakure Anbu.

The chains wrapped around the enemies' ankles, pulling them to the ground.

"It seems they've all made progress."

Qingyu thought to herself.

He then Hand Seals.

Water Release · Water Colliding Wave!

A huge wave rose from beneath his feet and surged forward.

The waves engulfed the remaining Kirigakure Anbu, and the immense impact sent them flying, crashing heavily onto tree trunks and rocks.

Several Anbu lost consciousness in the impact, and the remaining few managed to regain their footing, but their formation had been broken by the waves.

Qingyu's Sharingan swirled as he Hand Seals.

Water Release: Water Severing Wave!

A thin stream of water shot out from his mouth, sweeping across the battlefield like a laser beam.

The waterline precisely sliced through every remaining Kirigakure Anbu, their bodies severed the instant they touched it, blood mingling with rainwater and falling onto the muddy ground.

The battle was over in a matter of seconds.

"What's going on with this group of people?"

Kakashi walked over to a corpse and used his short sword to pry open the person's mask.

The face beneath the mask began to change, turning into white skin.

"Let's go ahead."

Qingyu spoke.

The white one is naturally the White Zetsu.

Qingyu could tell at a glance.

Kakashi nodded, assuming they had used some kind of secret technique and suffered a backlash.

He sheathed his short sword and quickened his pace to catch up with Qingyu.

The team continued deeper into the territory.

The woods ahead suddenly thinned out, revealing a clearing destroyed by battle.

The broken tree trunks lay scattered on the ground, and the soil was churned up like a tilled field.

The air was thick with the pungent smell of blood and the violent aura of Tailed Beast Chakra.

In the center of the open space, Rin Nohara knelt on the ground.

Her short brown hair was soaked with sweat and clung to her cheeks and neck.

Her body was trembling violently, and she braced herself against the ground with her hands.

The green ninja vest was torn in several places, revealing black chainmail underneath.

On her abdomen, a layer of scarlet Chakra patterns was spreading.

The Three-Tails 'Chakra has already invaded her meridians.

Her eyes were wide open, and the vertical pupils of the Tailed Beast could be vaguely seen in her brown pupils.

The shock of her Chakra rampage blurred her consciousness; she could see what the Kirigakure Ninja around her were doing, but she couldn't control her own body.

The sealing ninjas from Kirigakure surrounded her, their hands Hand Seals as they tried to stabilize the Three-Tails 'Chakra.

The Three-Tails' Chakra rampage was too violent, and cracks have appeared in their Sealing Technique.

"Hold on! Don't let it break the seal!"

The leader of the Hidden Kirigakure Ninja shouted.

The Three-Tails is really too difficult to deal with.

To be honest, he didn't know why his superiors would assign him such a task.

But these ninjas had no choice but to obey.

"Has the seal been completed?"

Qingyu thought to herself.

The next moment, he Hand Seals, Chakra was extracted from his body.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

A massive water dragon erupted from his mouth, circled once in mid-air, and then crashed down upon the Kirigakure Ninja.

The force of the water dragon sent several sealed ninjas flying.

"Enemy attack!"

The Kirigakure Ninja drew their tools and charged towards Qingyu.

Kakashi and Might Guy charged forward simultaneously, and Purple Electricity and green steam appeared on the open ground.

Kakashi's short sword unleashed a purple arc of light, Chunin two Kirigakure back.

Might Guy wielded his nunchucks in a whirlwind, each impact accompanied by the sound of bones shattering.

Hyuga Ginka and Karin Uzumaki also joined the battle, their Gentle Fist and Adamantine Sealing Chains tearing two gaps in the Kirigakure's formation.

Qingyu ran across the battlefield toward Rin Nohara.

She knelt on the ground, the Three-Tails' Chakra forming a red cloak on her body, and layers of Chakra bubbles gushing from beneath her skin.

Her body was convulsing violently; the rampage of Chakra was putting immense pressure on her meridians.

"Lin."

Qingyu squatted down in front of her, reached out, and placed her hand on her shoulder.

His Chakra surged into her body, suppressing the rampaging Chakra of the Three-Tails.

"It still doesn't work."

Qingyu raised an eyebrow.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to activate his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Boom!

The power of the Mangekyō Eye Power was directly poured into Rin Nohara's body.

"Humans!"

Qingyu vaguely heard a roar.

The Three-Tails roared inside Rin Nohara's body.

He was just one step away from being free.

But this human stopped him.

Moreover, he was completely unable to resist Qingyu's Eye Power.

Qingyu didn't want to talk to the Three-Tails and began to soothe the rampaging Chakra within Rin Nohara.

Soon, the Tailed Beast Chakra on Rin Nohara's body gradually dissipated.

But she did not regain consciousness; the Three-Tails 'Chakra was still flowing within her. Her eyelids closed heavily, and she fell into a coma.

Qingyu picked her up from the ground.

"Kakashi!"

"Qingyu shouted."

Kakashi broke free from the battle and quickly ran to him.

How is Lin?

"She's unconscious. The Three-Tails' Chakra has stabilized, but she needs rest."

Qingyu held Rin Nohara in his arms, her head resting on his shoulder.

"I'll take her first; you all retreat via another route."

"This will attract a large number of enemies."

Kakashi frowned.

"I'll do it. You take Lin and go down another route."

"No."

Qingyu shook her head.

"They're coming for me. I'll take Lin and leave. You guys take another route. I'll come back to get you after I've settled Lin in."

Kakashi gripped his short sword tightly.

If he were more capable, he wouldn't have needed to do this.

"Good."

He did not argue further.

Qingyu was faster than him; the "Flying Thunder God Technique" would ensure he could escape at any time.

If he stays, he will only become a burden to Qingyu.

Qingyu, holding Rin Nohara in her arms, turned and rushed off in another direction.

His footsteps left deep imprints on the muddy ground, like a fleeting afterimage in the rain.

The sounds of battle behind them gradually faded into the distance, and Kakashi and Might Guy's shouts were drowned out by the wind.

Qingyu ran five kilometers in one go and stopped in front of a hidden cave.

Meanwhile, the Graveyard of Mountains.

Madara Uchiha leaned against the corner, and a White Zetsu emerged from the stone wall, its spiral-patterned face showing a hint of panic.

"Lord Madara, Qingyu has already gone there."

Madara Uchiha's eyes snapped open.

What happened?

His voice trailed off.

Didn't you lure him away?

"We can't stop them."

White Zetsu shrank his neck.

"Qingyu used 'Sage Mode' and locked onto Rin Nohara's location. Our Anbu couldn't stop him at all, and Kakashi and Might Guy were charging in fiercely as well."

Madara Uchiha remained silent for a few seconds.

"Send another batch of Kirigakure Ninja over there."

"Yes."

White Zetsu responded and his body sank into the ground.

Inside the cave.

Qingyu placed Rin Nohara on a flat rock and checked her meridians again.

The Three-Tails 'Chakra has been stably integrated into her seal.

He sat beside the rock, looking at Rin Nohara's face.

Her complexion was better than before; her lips had regained some color, and her eyelashes were trembling slightly.

After a long while, Rin Nohara's eyelids twitched.

She slowly opened her eyes, her brown pupils appearing somewhat confused in the dim cave.

Her gaze swept around before finally settling on Qingyu's face.

"Qingyu ----jun?"

Rin Nohara's voice was hoarse.

"What happened?"

Qingyu looked at her and began to explain.

"You were captured by Kirigakure. They sealed the Three-Tails inside you. By the time I arrived, the Tailed Beast Chakra had already invaded your meridians. I helped stabilize the seal."

Rin Nohara blinked, processing this information.
