Obito: Pain, It Hurts So Much! (Parts 1, 2, and 3)

"Did these things really happen?"

Rin Nohara leaned against the rock, her eyes slightly widened.

Qingyu nodded.

He sat on a rock opposite her, the rain pattering outside the cave, with occasional gusts of wind blowing in from the cave entrance.

"What about the others?"

Rin Nohara looked up.

"The medical-nin were captured with me, they—"

"They're probably all dead."

Qingyu said.

His Sensory Barrier had already detected an area of several kilometers in radius.

He couldn't sense any of the medical-nin 'Chakra.

Those medical-nin who were taken away were either killed or transferred to more distant locations.

Rin Nohara's expression froze for a moment.

Some of them were her close friends, but little did they know they were now gone forever.

She lowered her head, her brown eyelashes trembling.

After a while, Rin Nohara took a breath and looked up.

"I see."

Rin Nohara nodded.

Qingyu reached out and gently patted her shoulder.

"The most urgent matter now is to resolve the issue of the Three-Tails."

"Is the Tailed Beast inside me the Three-Tails?"

"That's right. Kirigakure has both the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails. The Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Utakata, is still very young, but he was very active in the Shinobi World War. Kirigakure wouldn't send him on this kind of mission, so it can only be the Three-Tails."

Qingyu paused for a moment, then continued, "The Isobu is one of the Tailed Beasts with the strongest Water Release abilities. In the long run, you becoming its Jinchuriki might not be a bad thing."

What should I do?

Rin Nohara looked completely bewildered.

"Don't rush."

Qingyu stretched out his hand and began to refine his Chakra.

"I need to check your internal condition first. Relax and don't resist."

Rin Nohara nodded and closed her eyes.

Qingyu lifted Rin Nohara's clothes, revealing her fair and tender belly.

Rin Nohara was a little shy.

But remembering that I was on official business, I forced myself to stay calm.

The next moment, the Mangekyō Sharingan appeared in Qingyu's eyes.

Qingyu caught the Eye Power of the Mangekyō and entered Rin Nohara's Mindscape.

It was a dimly lit space, and the ground was damp.

Qingyu stood on the water and glanced down at her feet.

His reflection was clearly mirrored in the water; black hair, black clothes, and the six -Mangekyō Sharingan slowly swirling in his pupils.

Change.

[Collectible trait detected: Water Release Body]

[B-Rank Trait: Water Release Body]

[Effect: Increases control over water flow power by 100%, and allows for localized water Elementalization.]

[Synthesis: Completely taming the Three-Tails will upgrade it to a higher-level trait.]

Qingyu glanced at the panel and then closed it.

He raised his head and looked into the distance on the water.

A huge figure emerged from the darkness.

It was none other than the Isobu.

Its body is as big as a small mountain, with a thick shell covering its grayish-blue skin, and the shell on its back is raised high and covered with sharp protrusions.

Three-Tails looked at Qingyu.

The single eye reflected Qingyu's figure.

Its eyes were filled with apprehension; the ominous Chakra emanating from Qingyu prevented it from launching an immediate attack.

"Uchiha-- "

The Three-Tails' voice is deep and resonant.

"And there's the aura of the Senju —what are you?"

Three-Tails frowned.

Have the Uchiha and Senju reconciled and become family again?

Didn't the Sage of Six Paths say that his eldest and second sons would continue to fight?

My name is Qingyu.

Qingyu stood on the water, looking at this enormous creature.

"From now on, you must obey my orders and you must not harm your Jinchuriki."

"Jinchuriki?"

The Three-Tails creature slapped its tail hard in the water, creating a wave several meters high.

"That ninja couldn't even withstand my Chakra, and you still want her to control me?"

"She can learn."

"I don't need Jinchuriki."

The Three-Tails lowered its body slightly, while the carapace on its back rose high.

I don't need you.

It charged at us.

Despite its enormous size, the Three-Tails is extremely fast in the water.

It rolled across the water like a chariot, splashing water on both sides of its shell with a deafening roar.

Its size and weight created a tremendous sense of oppression on the water's surface, as if the entire body of water was pressing down on Qingyu.

Qingyu did not retreat.

The six-pointed star pattern in his pupils spun rapidly as the Eye Power surged into his eyes.

Susanoo!

Deep blue Chakra surged from his body, coalescing into a massive skeletal framework before him.

Ribs, arms, shoulders—layers of Chakra materialized, eventually forming the half-body of a ten-meter-tall purple giant.

A deep blue Chakra vein flowed through the giant's skeleton, and two enormous arms hung down at his sides.

At the moment the Three-Tails charged in.

Qingyu raised Susanoo's right hand and slapped it.

Boom!

The Susanoo's giant hand slammed into the Three-Tails' head, and the enormous impact deflected the Three-Tails' charge.

The Three-Tails creature spun on the water's surface, creating waves that churned the water within a radius of tens of meters into a cloud of white foam.

"Susanoo"

The Three-Tails steadied itself, its eyes filled with even deeper apprehension.

It recognized the technique; it had seen that man use the same power long, long ago.

It still remembers that overwhelming Eye Power, enough to crush everything.

The Three-Tails opened its mouth, gathering its Chakra in its throat.

Water Release: Iron Cannonball!

A giant Chakra sphere spewed from its mouth; the sphere was larger than a house.

The water sphere, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, hurtled towards Susanoo, its wind pressure carving a deep trench into the water's surface along its path.

Qingyu controlled Susanoo, raising his left hand and slapping it onto the water sphere.

Boom!

The water sphere exploded in Susanoo's palm, sending water spraying everywhere like a torrential downpour.

Using the splash as cover, the Three-Tails arched its entire body.

Its massive shell encased its body, its limbs retracted into the shell, and its entire body curled up into a giant sphere.

The protrusions on the carapace are arranged like gears, forming sharp cutting surfaces as they rotate at high speeds.

At this moment, the Three-Tails creature achieved a perfect balance in size and weight, and it began to roll.

Shadow Stroke!

This is a unique Taijutsu of the Three-Tails.

It transforms itself into a giant, spiked ball, using its massive size and weight to roll at high speed across the water, crushing any enemy in its path.

Qingyu raised an eyebrow.

In the original story, this technique was used against the Allied Shinobi Forces, and even the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails had to take it seriously.

The Three-Tails rolled across the water, creating a wall of water as large as a tsunami.

Is that all you've got?

Qingyu felt disappointed.

On the edge of the Mindscape, Rin Nohara stood on the water, looking at Qingyu through her brown eyes.

"Qingyu- kun, watch out!"

Out of concern, Rin Nohara cried out.

Qingyu glanced back at her and shook her head slightly.

"Fine."

He turned his head, his Eye Power.

The skeleton of Susanoo began to expand.

The dark blue giant, which originally only had an upper body, now had new bones extending from the waist down.

Leg bones, feet, and layers of Chakra materialized, Susanoo into a whole giant.

Its height increased dramatically from a few meters to tens of meters, and its enormous body cast a deep shadow on the water.

The complete Susanoo stands on the water, its deep blue Chakra burning like a ghostly blue flame.

Qingyu raised the hands of Susanoo and pressed them down in the direction from which the Three-Tails was rolling.

Boom!

The giant hand of Susanoo pressed down on the rolling ball formed by the Three-Tails.

The enormous impact force spread outwards from the point of contact, pressing a crater into the water surface.

The rolling of the Three-Tails was abruptly stopped.

Qingyu controls Susanoo | unleashing his power.

Strength of a Hundred!

The complete Susanoo pulled the Three-Tails' rolling ball off the water and threw it into the distance.

The Three-Tails tumbled several times in the air before crashing heavily onto the water, sending sprays of water surging outwards like a tsunami.

Its shell cracked in several places upon impact, and grayish-blue Chakra seeped out from the cracks.

At the same time, in Qingyu's right eye, the six-pointed star pattern slowly rotated.

Mangekyō Dōjutsu: Ōwatatsumi!

Qingyu's gaze focused on Three-Tails, and his Eye Power surged from his right eye.

Where his gaze focused, a large amount of water appeared out of thin air, and his Eye Power forcibly altered gravity.

The seawater, originally a pale blue, gradually deepened in color, eventually turning into a deep black like ink.

"What kind of Water Release is this?!"

The Three-Tails struggled to its feet from the water, its yellow vertical pupils reflecting the spreading black current.

As the Tailed Beast most skilled in Water Release, it spends its entire life dealing with water.

It could sense a power it had never seen before contained within those black waters.

The liquid water that Qingyu used seemed to carry a distorted gravity, each drop as heavy as a block of iron.

Black water, like an ocean, surged in.

The Three-Tails' vision went black, and it needed to dodge, but the black water was too vast, enveloping Three-Tails enormous body.

Gravity was altered around the Three-Tails, pressing down on its carapace like a mountain.

"Roar!"

The Three-Tails let out a roar.

Its body creaked and groaned under the pressure of the black water, and the cracks on its shell widened further.

It struggled desperately, its limbs thrashing wildly in the water, its tail churning the surface into a chaotic mess, but the black water clung to it like a living thing, tightening its grip.

Rin Nohara stood in the distance, her small face blank.

Is this even a ninja's Ninjutsu?

As Rin Nohara watched the black ocean engulf the Three-Tails, she felt that the Three-Tails had no fearsome reputation as a weapon of war in front of Qingyu.

Moreover, this was the first time Rin Nohara had seen Qingyu use such power.

What kind of Ninjutsu is this?

Rin Nohara was curious.

After the Three-Tails calmed down, Qingyu withdrew his Dōjutsu, and the black water receded from the Three-Tails' body, returning to normal water flow.

The Three-Tails lay on the water's surface, the cracks in its shell still slowly healing, but its body had stopped struggling.

"Behave yourself."

Qingyu said it simply.

"If you want to get beaten up again, you can continue."

The Three-Tails remained silent for a while, then ceased its attack.

Then the Three-Tails slowly sank into the water, leaving only their shells floating on the surface.

He naturally understood that he was no match for Qingyu right now.

Continuing to take action would only lead to unnecessary trouble and is completely pointless.

Qingyu exited the "Susanoo" state, and the deep blue Chakra skeleton around him slowly dissipated.

He walked up to the Three-Tails, his Mangekyō Sharingan.

In an instant, an invisible Eye Power was injected into the Three-Tails's body.

"This is the Eye Power."

Qingyu said.

"If you ever try to break the seal or harm Lin, this Eye Power will directly affect your mind. I leave you with..."

"While you're here, it will also keep an eye on you for me."

The Three-Tails closed its eyes and let out a cold snort.

Qingyu withdrew her hand and turned to walk towards Rin Nohara.

"Get out."

Qingyu spoke.

"Your body needs rest, and the battle in the Mindscape has also taken a toll on you."

Rin Nohara nodded.

After all, the battle between the Three-Tails and Qingyu took place in her Mindscape, and Rin Nohara was the vessel for that world.

Qingyu placed her hand on her shoulder, and the two of them withdrew from the Mindscape.

Rin Nohara slowly opened her eyes, her brown pupils refocusing on the real world.

She lowered her head and looked at her abdomen.

She could feel a surge of immense Chakra within her.

"Three-Tails-- "

"He's behaved now."

Qingyu said.

Rin Nohara looked up at him.

She could feel that her stomach had indeed calmed down.

The Three-Tails seemed to have vanished, leaving Rin Nohara feeling nothing amiss.

If it weren't for this extra Chakra, Rin Nohara would have doubted that she was dreaming.

Thank you, Qingyu- kun.

"We're all comrades."

Qingyu shook her head.

"Just companions--"

Rin Nohara looked at Qingyu.

"If Lin wants to elevate our friendship, that's fine too."

Qingyu smiled slightly.

"I think--"

Rin Nohara hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage, as if she wanted to say something.

"Someone's here."

At this moment, Qingyu interrupted Rin Nohara.

On the other side, 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 rare panic.

"Lord Madara."

"What's wrong?"

Madara Uchiha's eyes were half-open, and his voice was hoarse.

"Qingyu — Qingyu has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."

White Zetsu reported to Madara Uchiha.

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha suddenly opened his eyes.

He instinctively doubted whether he had misheard.

"What!?"

"Qingyu activated his Mangekyō Sharingan. He just entered Rin Nohara's Mindscape and must have fought the Three-Tails."

White Zetsu recounted everything he had just seen.

Although it's unclear what happened in their Mindscape, the result was that Rin Nohara did not continue her rampage.

Therefore, Qingyu has won.

"Ha ha!"

Madara Uchiha never expected such an unexpected surprise.

"Well!"

Madara Uchiha couldn't help but speak up.

"I never expected to have such a discovery!"

Madara Uchiha leaned back in his wooden chair and began to think.

His original plan was for Obito to Mangekyō Sharingan first, but Qingyu awakened Mangekyō first.

"Now it's just Obito."

Madara Uchiha leaned on his Sickle.

More than ten minutes ago, Obito had already donned the body of White Zetsu, jumped off the rock wall, and headed towards Rin Nohara.

Obito's only thought right now is to save Rin Nohara and Kakashi.

However, Obito had no idea what a dark abyss awaited him.

"Lead Obito to Qingyu's side."

Madara Uchiha White Zetsu.

"Yes."

White Zetsu sank to the ground.

At the same time.

Obito ran through the dense forest.

He was covered by the body of Uzumaki White Zetsu, and draped in a black cloak.

He moved very fast, the branches he stepped on barely bending, and he was like a white blur as he darted through the tree canopy.

"We'll finally meet soon."

His heart was pounding; the excitement of seeing his long-lost companions made his heart race wildly.

Obito had to gasp for breath to calm himself down.

After waiting for so many days and nights, he has finally waited for this day.

During these days, Obito kept thinking about Kakashi and Rin, wondering if they were thinking about him too.

"But I don't know if Lin will recognize me like this."

Obito looked down at his hands.

The left hand has a normal skin tone, while the right arm is white.

He complained that Madara Uchiha had turned him into this inhuman, ghostly figure.

But then he thought, if it weren't for Madara Uchiha, he would have died long ago.

Ultimately, he had no choice but to accept it.

"Lin will definitely recognize it, hmm!"

He encouraged himself mentally.

"The white one, how are Rin and Kakashi doing now?"

Obito asked the White Zetsu attached to his body.

"Not very good."

White Zetsu's voice echoed in his mind.

"Rin was taken away by Qingyu, Kakashi and Might Guy are on the other side. Now Rin and Qingyu are surrounded by Kirigakure Ninja, and Kakashi's side is surrounded by Iwagakure."

"Qingyu?"

Obito suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Why is he here too?

"Qingyu is the team leader for this mission; he was assigned to carry out the task near the Land of Grass."

The White Zetsu is like Obito's explanation.

"After Rin was captured by Kirigakure, he led the team to chase after her."

Obito's expression turned cold.

"Never mind Qingyu for now, which way is closer?"

Upon hearing Qingyu's name, Obito suppressed his irritation and continued running forward.

" To Rin Nohara's side."

"Take me to Lin's place first."

Obito road.

With White Zetsu guiding his way in his mind, he adjusted his direction and rushed towards Rin Nohara's location.

He ran for a while, then suddenly spoke again.

"Where are the Konoha ninjas? What is Minato-sensei doing?"

"The other Konoha ninjas are still on their way. As for Minato Namikaze, he's quite far away; after all, he's very busy."

o

Receiving a reply from White Zetsu spurred Obito to move even faster.

"It's always like this."

He was getting angry.

Damn it, last time Minato Namikaze didn't arrive at Kannabi Bridge in time.

And it happened again this time.

Why couldn't Kakashi and Minato-sensei protect Rin?!

That was clearly all I asked of them!

"It's always the same. The people from Konoha aren't here, and Minato-sensei isn't here either. Every time we need them, they're nowhere to be found."

His fists clenched.

"Fine, Kakashi and Rin, I'll save them."

Obito gritted his teeth and increased his speed again.

If there are no heroes, then I will be that hero.

Obito thought to himself!

After an unknown amount of time, he passed through a dense forest, and the sounds of battle ahead grew clearer and clearer.

The sounds of clashing swords, the booming of exploding Ninjutsu, and shouts mingled together, emanating from the gaps in the trees.

Obito's heart started racing.

He burst through the last row of trees, and before him lay a clearing ravaged by battle.

Broken tree trunks lay scattered on the ground, the earth cracked open, and the air was filled with the stench of blood and the burning aura of Chakra.

He saw Rin Nohara.

She stood in a corner of the battlefield, her short brown hair soaked with sweat and clinging to her face.

Her vest had several tears, revealing her mud-covered skin underneath.

She held a Kunai in her hand.

In front of her was Qingyu.

Qingyu had her back to her, her black hair swaying gently in the wind, and her green vest stained with mud and blood.

"These Kirigakure Villagers are really persistent."

Qingyu pondered to herself.

He was planning to take things further with Rin Nohara, but the appearance of this group of Kirigakure interrupted Qingyu's plans.

With no other option, Qingyu had to fight the group of Kirigakure Ninjas first.

Moreover, Qingyu had to carefully control her power to avoid instantly killing everyone.

Otherwise, Madara Uchiha wouldn't have enough power to execute his plan.

No one knows whether Madara Uchiha will order Obito to perform the procedure since Obito.

Qingyu had no choice but to become an actress.

After all, if this attempt fails, Madara Uchiha might arrange another one.

In that case, Rin Nohara is still in danger.

"Are you alright, Qingyu?"

"I can't help but call out with concern, "Rin Nohara called out.

"Fine."

Qingyu spoke.

Several corpses of Kirigakure Ninjas lay around him, all killed with a single blow.

Several more Kirigakure Ninja attacked from a distance.

Upon seeing this, Qingyu felt the six-pointed star pattern of his Mangekyō Sharingan slowly rotate within his pupils.

He stepped forward and shielded Rin Nohara behind him.

"Careful."

Qingyu said.

Rin Nohara gripped her Kunai and nodded.

Obito stood at the edge of the forest, watching this scene unfold.

Especially the way Rin Nohara looked at Qingyu made his chest feel like it was blocked by something.

What exactly happened while he was away?!

"Obito, don't be impulsive."

White Zetsu's voice echoed in his mind.

Now is not a good time to go out.

Obito did not reason with White Zetsu.

His gaze was fixed on Qingyu's back, watching the way he stood in front of Rin Nohara.

He rushed over with all his might, ran such a long way, smashed through the rock wall, and endured the rejection and pain in his body, but in the end, the person standing in front of Lin was still Qingyu.

"Don't be impulsive, Obito. If you go out now, they might just see you as an enemy."

White Zetsu advised.

"Qingyu is very strong. It would be better to watch Qingyu deal with the enemies before we go out."

"Shut up."

Obito gritted his teeth.

How could Rin Nohara not recognize him?

Whether Qingyu knows him or not is irrelevant.

But Rin Nohara is his best friend!

Moreover, he suppressed his feelings for Rin Nohara, not daring to express them.

Therefore, Obito only cared whether Rin Nohara would recognize him.

At that moment, Obito saw a Kirigakure Ninja circle around to Qingyu's back from the flank.

The Kirigakure Ninja lowered his body, gripped his Kunai in reverse, and thrust it towards Qingyu's back.

Qingyu was entangled with the enemy in front of her and seemed unaware of the sneak attack from behind.

But Rin Nohara saw it.

Her pupils contracted sharply; her body reacted before her brain could process it.

She rushed out and Kunai into the attacker's chest.

The Kirigakure Ninja's body stiffened, then he slumped to the ground.

Rin Nohara stood behind Qingyu, panting heavily, the Kunai in her hand still dripping blood.

Qingyu turned around and glanced at her.

"Well done."

Qingyu said.

He was actually planning to turn around and punch the enemy who had ambushed him, but Rin Nohara beat him to it.

Rin Nohara smiled, realizing she had served her purpose.

That's great! She's finally not just a burden anymore!

I can also do my part, however small, to help Qingyu!

Obito saw that smile, he could no longer hold back his emotions.

No! This smile is meant for me!

"Has Obito arrived?"

Qingyu pondered in her heart.

He had already sensed Obito and White Zetsu.

"Attack her."

A command seemed to spring to the hearts of the Kirigakure Anbu.

Then a member of the Kirigakure Anbu attacked Rin Nohara.

"Lin!"

Obito's voice became distorted and shrill from excessive concern.

Before Obito could react, his body had already instinctively sprinted forward.

The black figure lunged towards Rin Nohara like a bolt of lightning.

However, after obtaining the Three-Tails, Chakra Rin Nohara's chakra increased dramatically.

The "Chakra Scalpel" used directly killed the Kirigakure Anbu.

Obito aback.

What--

When did Lin become so strong?

However, Obito charged too fast and there was no time to adjust his movements.

He could only stare wide-eyed as he thrust his kunai at Kunai Rin Nohara.

"Obito gone mad?"

Qingyu found it strange.

With a flash, Qingyu appeared in Rin Nohara.

One hand wrapped around Rin Nohara's waist and pulled her aside.

At the same time, the blade of the Sword of the Thunder God was positioned in front of Obito's Kunai.

Clang!

The crisp sound of metal clashing rang out. Obito's Kunai was precisely parried, sparks exploding between the two.

Qingyu put his left arm around Rin Nohara, protecting her behind him.

Then Qingyu raised his leg and kicked Obito in the chest.

Obito's body was kicked away, his white figure tumbling several times in the air before crashing heavily into a large tree.

The Kirigakure Ninja stopped attacking the moment Obito appeared.

They stared at the strange man who had suddenly appeared, wearing a white Spiral Mask, and exchanged bewildered glances.

Then, the eyes beneath the mask of the Anbu darkened, and for a fleeting moment, the afterimage of the Sharingan flashed before becoming empty.

Rin Nohara lifted her head from Qingyu's arms and looked at the figure that had been kicked away.

Then they saw the Kirigakure Anbu's ANBU launch a frenzied attack on Obito.

In an instant, Kunai and Shuriken flew everywhere.

"Who is he?"

Rin Nohara was curious.

Which ninja village is this enemy from? He just suddenly appeared and attacked her.

Qingyu withdrew her leg and looked at the white figure leaning against the tree trunk, panting.

"Have no idea."

He knew, of course, that it was Obito.

Madara Uchiha probably didn't want Obito to reveal his identity.

Qingyu guessed.

Therefore, under Madara Uchiha's arrangement, the Kirigakure Anbu will relentlessly attack Obito, preventing him from having a chance to speak.

Obito leaned against the tree trunk, his chest Qingyu's kick.

He looked up and peered at Qingyu and Rin Nohara through the holes in his mask.

Qingyu's hand was still around Rin Nohara's waist, and Rin Nohara leaned against him. The two stood together, their posture intimate.

Obito felt as if something was gripping his heart.

It hurts, it hurts so much!

Why is this happening?!

Obito wanted to speak, wanted Rin Nohara to call her name, wanted to tell Rin Nohara that he was Obito.

But the Kirigakure Ninja didn't give him a chance to speak.

Obito could only dodge the various thrown ninja tools first.

Just as he awkwardly dodged, three members of the Kirigakure Anbu rushed up at the same time, slashing at him with their Ninja Blade from different angles.

Obito was forced to fight back, constantly dodging in a sorry state.

He's in no mood to make a move right now.

But these enemies kept interfering with him.

This was the first time Obito had ever felt such a stifling feeling.

Why are they all attacking him?

Rin Nohara looked at the white figure being surrounded with a puzzled expression.

"Perhaps this enemy has a grudge against them."

Qingyu said.
