The Rescue
"Die!"
A bloodthirsty glint appeared behind the masks of the Hidden Mist Anbu, and three long swords stabbed towards Obito's back. However, they passed through Obito's body as if piercing through air, killing the Hidden Mist Anbu below Obito.
"Missed?"
Uchiha Obito's pupils widened, and blood vessels were visible outside the dart-shaped pupils of his Sharingan.
"Drink it!"
With Uchiha Obito leaped up and kicked out to both sides, sending two Anbu flying. The third Anbu jumped back and escaped, but Obito threw out a wooden spike from his hand.
The wooden spike struck the Hidden Mist's Anbu directly, Obito a hand seal. The Hidden Mist who was stabbed died as countless wooden spikes erupted from his body.
"So you used Wood Release: Wood Release: Cutting Sprigs? Obito, I'm starting to understand why I had such high hopes for you."
The White Zetsu armor covered Obito's body, assisting Obito, but no one expected Obito to be so skilled and powerful in combat.
The Hidden Mist Anbu were terrified upon seeing this strange man howling in pain, but as Hidden Mist's elite, they did not forget their mission:
"We must at least retrieve the Three-Tails!"
"Ugh!"
A dozen or so Anbu rushed toward Nohara Rin's corpse. Seeing this, Obito became even more frenzied, screaming as he charged toward Rin. All the Hidden Mist attacks passed right through him, without causing Obito any harm.
Obito rushed to Rin's side, placed his large hand on the head of the fastest charging Hidden Mist, and with a slight force, the mask broke open, revealing the Hidden Mist Anbu's pained expression.
"Ugh!"
The White Monster grabbed the Hidden Mist Anbu and let out another hysterical scream of pain. After crushing the Hidden Mist member to death, it didn't stop there, clenching its fists and furiously hammering the now limp Anbu.
The dozens of Hidden Mist Anbu in the arena, watching Obito's screaming and bizarre abilities, were truly terrified. Looking at the White Monster, the Hidden Mist Anbu took a slight step back.
The White Monster seemed to realize something and turned to look behind him.
As the White Monster turned to look at them, many Hidden Mist Anbu even dropped their longswords and slowly retreated.
The White Monster's mask revealed only its right eye, and the empty hole in the right eye resembled the most terrifying beast in the world, staring motionlessly at the Hidden Mist Anbu.
Sweat seeped from beneath the masks of the Hidden Mist Anbu, who dared not move a muscle.
A strange wood-style Wood Release, resembling a Wood Dragon, erupted from the right half of the White Monster's body, accompanied by the screams of the Hidden Mist Anbu...
The bright moon seemed to have been tinged with red as well, Obito recalled the words of the old man with the Sharingan.
"This is hell! Have you forgotten?"
Obito stared blankly at Nohara Rin lying in a pool of blood on the ground, and murmured:
"So, I... am in hell."
As evening fell, Uchiha Nara, accompanied by a group of guards, rushed towards the Eastern Stronghold. His guards had already scattered, surrounding Naraku and patrolling a 30-kilometer radius, searching for any suspicious traces.
"Zensui, do not rely too much on the forbidden techniques of the Sharingan, remember that."
Uchiha Zensui and Uzumaki Taki followed behind Naraku as his bodyguards.
"Yes! I understand, Naraku!"
Uchiha Zensui's right eye, which had previously lost its sight, has now been transplanted with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
However, because it wasn't his own Sharingan and he wasn't a close relative, there seemed to be some slight rejection, making it difficult to turn on and off easily. Therefore, Zensui wrapped his right eye with a bandage.
Naraku encountered many Konoha Ninja along his journey, but after seeing the insignia of the Military Police Force, and especially after announcing his name as Uchiha Nara's bodyguard, no one questioned him.
"Where did they go on their mission? Why can't we find them around here? Could they be from Hidden Mist?"
Naraku searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace of Nohara Rin, Kakashi, or the others, which made him somewhat anxious.
"Found them, Lord Naraku. A Konoha Chunin knows Kakashi and Nohara Rin; they're at one of the outposts in the north."
Uchiha Rin, who was leading the way, turned back to report to Naraku.
"Alright! Let's head north then! Taki, watch out for Kakashi and Nohara Rin's Chakra."
"Um!"
Uzumaki Taki Naraku was watching had already told him Uzumaki Taki he had recorded the feeling of Chakra, which would make the search easier with Mind's Eye of the Kagura's Eye.
"I have a bad feeling about Kakashi and Rin carrying out a mission in Hidden Mist..."
The Land of Fire boasts abundant forests, numerous streams and lakes, fresh air, and a pleasant environment. After a long journey, Naraku and his companions finally made their discovery.
"Lord Naraku, there is a powerful mass of Chakra ahead, but it is extremely cold and eerie, somewhat similar to Ruofeng's Chakra."
With its vast sensory range, Uzumaki Taki seemed to have sensed something and spoke to Naraku beside it.
"Let's go! Lead the way, let's get there!"
Upon hearing this, Naraku became somewhat anxious. This feeling of cold Chakra was generally only formed when the Sharingan reached the Mangekyo, resulting in changes to the Chakra.
"Yes, it's just fifteen kilometers ahead!"
Upon hearing this, Uzumaki Taki gave a more detailed report and led the way forward.
Naraku followed the humanoid radar and charged straight ahead.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
After passing through the woods, they saw the corpses of the Hidden Mist Anbu on the ground. Kakashi lay at the edge, his life hanging in the balance. Beside him, Obito was covered in a strange white substance, with sharp spikes protruding from his neck, and he was holding a lifeless corpse.
"Obito!"
Naraku saw the person's appearance; the right side of his face was wrinkled due to an injury.
Naraku valued Obito highly, and in Naraku's memory, Obito eventually turned back. When Obito fell into the abyss, no one helped him up.
Only some White Zetsu, Black Zetsu, and Uchiha Madara handed him knives to brainwash him, dragging Obito into the abyss. Now, Naraku wants to Obito back to the right path.
Obito had just Kamui to slaughter the Hidden Mist, was holding Nohara Rin in his arms, his expression blank. Upon hearing this, he looked at the person approaching from afar.
"Damn it! This person seems to be one of the Uchiha clan members that Black Zetsu mentioned. Obito didn't even take Kakashi's eyes; the darkness isn't deep enough yet."
The White Zetsu attached to Obito was conscious; it wrapped around Obito's dazed head again, blocked Obito's hearing, controlled Obito's body to put Nohara Rin down, and ran away at full speed.
Obito had heard Naraku's call and turned his head listlessly, but the White Zetsu enveloped him even faster. Obito only saw Naraku's mouth opening and closing as if he were speaking, but he couldn't hear any sound.
"Don't go! I have a way to save Lin!"
Enveloped by White Zetsu Obito, Obito ran away frantically, his Obito blank, devoid of joy or sorrow, completely under the control of White Zetsu.
Naraku looked at Hatake Kakashi and Nohara Rin on the ground, then at the figures fleeing at top speed in the distance.
"Mangekyō Sharingan!"
Naraku a soft shout, his eyes turning crimson, the Tomoe in his eyes spinning rapidly as he looked at Nohara Rin.
Nohara Rin's body is changing; flesh and blood are slowly growing back in her pierced chest, and even her outer garment, which was damaged by Lightning Blade, is returning to its previous state.
In a short while, Nohara Rin returned to the state before her chest was pierced. At the same time, Nohara Rin's chest began to beat again, and she regained her life.
"It seems that the soul of the recently deceased has not yet gone to the Pure Land and can still be brought back."
Naraku's Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique controls time, allowing him to rewind time and reverse Rin Nohara's physical state.
Because Nohara Rin had only recently died, Naraku used some of his eye power to restore Nohara Rin to her pre-death state.
