Impure World Reincarnation of Nohara Rin

At this moment, Shimura Danzō felt nothing but despair.

He was almost afraid to push open that door, but he quickly regained his composure and immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to rush into the depths of Root.

At this moment, the sounds of battle echoed from deep within the Root base.

Shimura Danzō knew these were his two most outstanding subordinates. With Torune Aburame and Fu Yamanaka working together, they would surely be able to...

"Obito Uchiha, stop! I agree to your terms."

Shimura Danzō used the full strength of his lungs, finally stopping Obito Uchiha from snapping Fu Yamanaka's arm.

On the other side, Torune Aburame, in whom Shimura Danzō had placed such high hopes, had already fallen to the ground, silent and motionless.

"It seems you aren't as heartless as I imagined."

"Honestly, I'm a little disappointed!"

As he spoke, Obito Uchiha tossed the dying Fu Yamanaka in front of Shimura Danzō.

"You have only half a day. If I do not see Rin's body..."

Obito Uchiha's figure gradually vanished, leaving only those words behind.

Shimura Danzō stood where he was, looking at the destruction caused by Obito Uchiha, nearly grinding his teeth to dust. Extreme rage threatened to consume his reason, but he forced himself to calm down.

Space-time ninjutsu was too overwhelming; there was no sealing technique in the entire ninja world capable of containing it, only detection techniques that could sense fluctuations when such ninjutsu was activated.

Relying on these alone, taking down Obito Uchiha was nearly impossible.

Furthermore, based on Shimura Danzō's observations, even if he were to successfully use Impure World Reincarnation on Rin Nohara, it was unlikely Obito Uchiha could be controlled; it might even produce the opposite effect.

"Damn that Fourth Hokage, why didn't he kill him back then!"

Shimura Danzō spat out in hatred before turning to leave.

He needed to make preparations. He could not simply be led by the nose by Obito Uchiha; even the strongest space-time ninjutsu had its limits.

Inside the Kamui dimension, the newly returned Obito Uchiha finally reached his limit and collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, the White Zetsu, who had attached himself to Obito Uchiha using the Spore Technique, began to treat him with practiced skill.

Shimura Danzō had guessed correctly; Obito Uchiha's Kamui did indeed have limits. After wreaking havoc in the Root base and killing Danzō's capable lieutenants, how could he not be injured?

Not only that, but his Mangekyo Sharingan, nourished by Hashirama Cells, had also suffered a loss of vision.

After several hours of treatment, Obito Uchiha finally regained consciousness.

But upon waking, Obito Uchiha felt as if he were in hell, trapped in endless torment.

"Rin..."

"I'm sorry!"

Once fully recovered, Obito Uchiha left the Kamui dimension to find Black Zetsu, who had been wandering outside, to help him deal with Danzō.

Back during the Nine-Tails' Rampage, Obito Uchiha had nearly died because of Ensei Uchiha.

If Black Zetsu hadn't suddenly erupted at the last moment to restrain Minato Namikaze, Obito Uchiha would have died long ago.

It was only after that incident that Obito Uchiha realized Black Zetsu's combat power was immense—a strength on an entirely different level.

"Obito, I have gathered two very interesting pieces of intelligence."

"The first concerns Danzō's arrangements and Rin's body."

Hearing this, Obito Uchiha spoke impatiently:

"We can discuss the rest later; first, help me retrieve Rin's body."

"Even if I have to forge a new world, I cannot tolerate Rin's remains being insulted by others at this moment."

Facing Obito Uchiha's urging, Black Zetsu continued unhurriedly: "And the second piece of intelligence concerns Ensei Uchiha."

"According to the Third Hokage and his subordinates, Ensei Uchiha is suspected of possessing the ability to know the future."

"And it was that Ensei Uchiha who leaked your information."

Hearing this, a thick murderous intent erupted in Obito Uchiha's eyes.

If not for him, Rin's body would not have...

"Leak his information to Pain; he will take care of this trouble."

Obito Uchiha spoke coldly, and Black Zetsu did not argue, simply agreeing before following Obito Uchiha toward Danzō's location.

"Perform Impure World Reincarnation on Rin Nohara, but do not awaken her."

In another secret Root base, Shimura Danzō, who had regained his hands and eyes, was currently instructing his subordinates.

"Lord Danzō, performing this ninjutsu requires a living sacrifice, and in this base..."

Before the Anbu member could finish his sentence, Danzō pointed without hesitation toward another figure.

"Use him as the sacrifice."

Following Shimura Danzō's words, a blue-haired youth slowly stepped forward, waiting for his own end with utter docility.

Seeing this, the Root ninja who mastered the Impure World Reincarnation hesitated. Yet, under Shimura Danzō's coercion, he had no choice but to weave the hand seals.

Accompanied by the blue-haired youth's screams, the Impure World Reincarnation of Rin reappeared in this world.

"Danzō!!!"

"What have you done? What on earth have you done..."

Obito Uchiha, who had just arrived, had the misfortune of witnessing everything.

For a split second, the thought of fleeing into the Kamui dimension crossed his mind, but he realized that the reincarnated Rin had not yet opened her eyes, which allowed Obito Uchiha to maintain a shred of sanity.

Seeing Obito Uchiha suddenly appear beside him, Shimura Danzō felt no surprise; from their cooperation long ago, he had known that Obito Uchiha possessed a formidable ability to gather intelligence.

"The corpse of Rin Nohara is over there..."

Shimura Danzō pointed toward a coffin not far away, as if the reincarnated body of Rin Nohara did not exist at all.

At this moment, Obito Uchiha's entire attention was fixated on the reincarnated Rin.

Because of the space-time ocular jutsu Kamui, Obito Uchiha could clearly perceive that within that reincarnated body, Rin's soul resided.

"Black Zetsu! Help me..."

Obito Uchiha muttered, and a strange, black-and-white figure slowly emerged from the ground.

"Regrettably, Obito. I cannot help you... Her soul has been imprisoned."

Black Zetsu's words completely shattered Obito Uchiha's sanity.

Fully unleashing his Mangekyo Sharingan, he pulled the reincarnated body of Rin Nohara into the Kamui dimension before Shimura Danzō could react.

Immediately following that, he did the same to the coffin in the corner of the room.

After finishing all this, Obito Uchiha reached out toward the Root ninja who had just performed the Impure World Reincarnation, and a wooden spike shot out rapidly, striking the man square in the chest.

Once the wooden spike hit the human body, it immediately began to split and grow; dozens of wooden spikes erupted from the Root ninja's back in a dense thicket.

In such a situation, even if Tsunade were here, there would be no saving him.

However, Shimura Danzō did not care about the dead Root member, instead staring fixedly at Obito Uchiha.

"Wood Release—where did you obtain it?"
