"Kirigakure placed Isobu inside my body. That means that once I return to the village, they'll immediately activate the unsealing effect. Even if I'm at Ninja Rock, they can undo it from their side. When that happens..."
"What are you talking about?! Don't worry. Your teacher will definitely help you solve this problem!"
"Kakashi!"
"Wait for me!"
Kakashi charged toward the Kirigakure ninja. At that very moment, Mingye's voice sounded beside Rin's ear. "Do you remember what I told you? I can choose Obito's death whenever I wish, and I can also specifically choose Hatake Kakashi to die!"
"Godfather! I haven't betrayed you!"
As soon as Rin's trembling words fell, Mingye appeared at her side, leaning close to whisper into her ear.
"Love... can you really give it up?"
"I..."
Tears streamed endlessly from the corners of Rin's eyes. She wept bitterly, knowing that this turning point could mean true life or death. "How much longer can Kakashi hold on? Rin, you have to make the choice!"
After hesitating, Rin finally came to her senses at Mingye's words. More and more Kirigakure ninja were closing in. She gritted her teeth and nodded at Mingye.
"I'll give it up!"
"That's my daughter. My adopted daughter has no need for love! Kakashi is still using Raikiri. Go crash into it!"
With that, Mingye vanished from Rin's side. Rin knew that Mingye's phantom had only appeared in her mind. The instant he disappeared, she understood even more clearly that she had to obey his command. Otherwise, Kakashi would be separated from his head the next second. Her heart ached, yet she had no choice but to act. Seeing Kakashi gather Chidori once more and condense it into Raikiri, she accelerated and rushed straight at him.
Pfft!
"Rin!"
Lightning shot through its target's body.
