Rin, We're from Two Different Worlds

They distributed Military Ration Pill to temporarily fill their stomachs. Kyohiko and Minato Namikaze huddled together to discuss and reflect.

The uses of the Flying Raijin Formation exceeded their expectations.

While it may not be as convenient as the Flying Thunder God Technique, it is more convenient and Chakra Flying Thunder God it comes to group teleportation.

If they were to spare no Chakra and cooperate with Kakashi and the others, they could even send these dozen or so people directly back to Konoha using the Flying Raijin Formation.

but.

This would put them in great danger, as they have very little Chakra left, making the Land of Land of Waves a very dangerous place.

"Crystal Release... What do you plan to do?"

Although Minato Namikaze had never heard of such Kekkei Genkai, given Kyohiko's enthusiasm for Kekkei Genkai and special talents, he would definitely spare no effort in searching for it.

That is indeed a problem.

Kyohiko recalled that Guren's age was probably not much different from theirs, maybe three or four years old at most.

While it's certain that they would survive based on the original timeline, no one can say for sure what might happen.

After much deliberation, he said, "Take the others back first, as for her..."

Kyohiko walked toward Mami was handling some business over there.

"Lady."

"Lord of Konoha, what are your orders?"

Mami was extremely respectful.

She was just a wandering ninja before, and although she knew some Chakra extraction techniques, it was only a little bit.

For her...

Whether it's Hiruko, or Kyohiko and Minato in front of her, they are all people they cannot afford to offend; they could be easily killed with a single finger.

Do you remember where you used to live, and what your daughter looked like?

"Of course! How could I not remember? All these years, I've persisted because of her; otherwise, I might have ended up like them!"

As Mami spoke, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Two years.

God knows how she got through the past two years.

Kyohiko was silent for a moment, then said, "Here's what we'll do: you come with us to Konoha first, and then we'll search through Konoha's channels."

"Wouldn't this be too much trouble?"

Mami was definitely tempted.

Although she was inside, she knew some things about the outside world.

Before they were captured, the Shinobi World was not very peaceful. Their border areas were threatened by war, and they even considered moving south.

Unfortunately, before she could take any action, her family was attacked by Hiruko, and the matter was dropped.

so.

Even if she returned to her original residence, she wasn't very confident that she could find her daughter.

She would be more than grateful if Konoha were willing to help, so how could she possibly refuse?

pity...

No money!

She knew that ninjas demanded payment for their work, and she couldn't afford to pay them.

but.

She quickly realized what was happening.

The other party's goal was not the reward, but to recruit her daughter.

Mami opened her mouth and said, "Although my husband is a member of the Crystal Release clan, I can't guarantee that my daughter is too."

"It's okay, just consider it an investment."

Kyohiko smiled.

Mami breathed a sigh of relief and immediately nodded, "Thank you!"

She was grateful.

Despite the complete uncertainty, Konoha was still willing to help, and they did not ask for any reward for their assistance and treatment.

This reveals the true nature of Konoha.

"It's nothing, you just have some information on you that we're interested in."

Kyohiko smiled faintly.

Mami bowed deeply, but didn't take his words seriously; her heart was filled with gratitude.

After waiting a moment, Kakashi and the others arrived, guided by Hyuga Yukima. Seeing everyone safe and sound, and then seeing the ruins below, they knew...

An unimaginable and terrifying battle took place here!

"Kyohiko, Captain."

Although they had separated and were no longer on the same team, Kakashi still habitually called Minato "Captain" whenever he saw him.

Genma Shiranui also bowed respectfully to him.

In the past, when he taught the Flying Raijin Formation, he received a lot of guidance from Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze nodded with a smile.

but.

Kyohiko was carrying a stack of documents and urgently needed to return, so he entrusted the matter here to Minato Namikaze.

Given Minato's abilities, unless it's someone like the Third Raikage, even someone like Danzo wouldn't be able to defeat him.

Konoha Ninja Academy

The Obito Uchiha of today is completely different from the one before.

Since the theory exam was no longer required, Obito Uchiha's grades gradually improved, and he is now considered to be among the top students in his class.

Especially in the Ninjutsu Class.

As Uchiha, he consistently ranked among the top three in the Ninjutsu Class, possessing masterful Fire Style techniques.

In the Throwing Class, Obito also among the top ranks.

However.

What troubled Obito was that he always wanted to graduate early, but the overall situation wouldn't allow it.

The war is over.

The door to early graduation is closed!

"Why!"

Obito sat on the edge of the rooftop, looking down and letting out a long sigh.

"Obito, why are you sighing?"

"Um?"

Upon Obito was first surprised, then turned around and said, "Shisui? How did you know I was here!"

Shisui Uchiha.

His juniors.

However, unlike him, Shisui was a genius in the clan. At only five years old, his Body Flicker Technique and Fire Release Ninjutsu had already reached a very high level.

Even stronger than him!

Secretly, Obito envied his junior Shisui quite a bit, especially after Shisui enrolled in the ninja academy a year ago, his name could be heard almost everywhere in the Ninja Academy.

Students can choose their major upon enrollment.

Now, he's number one in the Ninjutsu Class again.

Yes, Obito is in the top three, but the number one among the top three is none other than Shisui Uchiha.

Looking at his younger brother, a member of the same clan, he couldn't help but feel envious.

With grades like Shisui's, he'll definitely be able to graduate early in a few years.

Unlike myself.

Obito was very clear-headed. The reason he failed to graduate was ultimately due to his lack of ability. Otherwise, he could have caught the last train like Asuma two years ago.

He sighed inwardly, unaware that Shisui had already said a long string of words. Seeing Obito, Shisui knew...

This cousin is thinking about something again.

"Obito- kun?"

"Ah? Shisui, sorry, I was just spacing out."

Obito stood up, grinning sheepishly.

Then, he suddenly felt a numbness in his legs and feet, and his right foot lost its footing on the edge, almost falling off the building.

Shisui immediately grabbed his hand, followed by a burst of Chakra, and forcefully pulled Obito up from the edge.

"Obito, be careful."

"Feel sorry!"

Obito smile.

If it weren't for Shisui, he would have really fallen from here.

While it might not necessarily result in death, injury would still delay cultivation time.

Shisui said, "I've noticed you haven't done any good deeds in a long time, and you seem a bit distracted. I feel like you haven't been doing well lately."

"Sigh, I want to graduate early, but..."

Obito muttered his thoughts to himself, then sighed deeply, and finally smiled, "Never mind, you're too young. You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

"You like that senior named Lin?"

"Ah?!"

Obito's eyes widened, his face showing a "How did you know?" expression.

"Just a guess."

Shisui answered directly without waiting for him to ask.

Obito's face showed horror.

"How should I know? It's written all over your face."

A rant by Shisui.

Obito's lips twitched slightly as he rubbed his face with both hands.

It's really embarrassing to be seen in public when my younger siblings see through my thoughts!

After a long silence, he sighed, "Yes, even you can tell, she must know too..."

"Well."

Shisui was stunned for a long time.

He really couldn't give a proper evaluation of this thing.

After all, he was only five years old. In his eyes, nothing was as important as cultivation and the future of his family.

and.

The girls surrounding him were causing him a lot of annoyance.

so.

He thought for a moment and said, "I really don't understand. I think women are troublesome and only affect my cultivation."

Obito sighed softly and patted Shisui on the shoulder.

"So, you're still young."

but.

He had to admit that Shisui's single-minded focus was what enabled him to achieve his current success.

Talent is not the only factor.

Obito's feelings became even more complicated. He couldn't help but hate himself for not working hard or focusing enough in the past, which led him to this predicament.

"They're gone!"

He waved his hand, not wanting to stay with Shisui any longer.

Seeing his younger brother, he felt a pang of sadness and regret for his past incompetence.

Although Shisui was young, he was skilled in observation and Genjutsu, and knew that human nature was complex. At this moment, Obito certainly did not want to see him.

The bell rang.

Obito left the school with a heavy heart, running forward in silence.

Unbeknownst to him, he looked up and found himself standing next to Konoha Hospital, with the figure flashing before his eyes being Rin Nohara.

He was about to wave to Rin Nohara when he saw Rin Nohara quickly run to another courtyard, carrying a pile of documents.

Obito opened his mouth, but then swallowed his words.

Since Rin graduated, she's become increasingly busy, while I'm still at the Ninja Academy...

Although Lin would still greet him with a bright smile whenever she saw him, their relationship seemed to remain the same as before.

but.

Obito knew that the distance between him and Rin was growing ever wider.

He remained silent for a long time, staring at the hospital without saying a word, before finally lowering his head and walking forward silently.

However.

He didn't notice that shortly after he turned around, Lin, who was not far away, spotted him and waved and shouted in his direction.

But.

A Chakra around him blocked out the sound, preventing him from hearing it.

Rin Nohara watched Obito's retreating figure, feeling puzzled. She was about to chase after him when, not long after, a shout came from inside the house.

"Lin?"

"Ah, yes, I've arrived!"

Rin Nohara quickly ran into the house.

Inside the room, Kurenai Yuhi picked up a piece of paper with a headache and said, "The mission has arrived. We need to make the necessary records and prepare for the surgery. We should arrive by the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"What?"

Rin Nohara looked down.

The note stated that they had rescued a group of people in the Land of Waves, and these people were experiencing mental and memory abnormalities, possibly requiring psychiatric treatment from the village.

Although the specifics are unknown, but...

This speed could only be a message sent from Kyohiko's side, and she vaguely remembered that Kakashi wasn't in the village either.

Her heart tightened immediately.

Are they both alright?

"Ah?"

Kurenai Yuhi paused for a moment, then nodded. "He'll be fine. If anything happens, Kyohiko will bring him back immediately."

In Hong's mind, Kyohiko was definitely not in danger!
