Reanimating Nohara Rin with Impure World Reincarnation

At this moment, Danzo Shimura was overcome with despair.

He almost dared not push open that door, but he quickly regained his composure and immediately used the Body Flicker Technique, rushing deeper into Root.

Sounds of battle echoed from the depths of the Root base.

Danzo Shimura knew that these were his two most outstanding subordinates. With Torune Aburame and Fu Yamanaka joining forces, they would surely be able to...

"Obito Uchiha, stop! I accept your terms!"

Danzo Shimura shouted with all the strength he had, finally stopping Obito Uchiha from breaking Fu Yamanaka's arm.

Meanwhile, Torune Aburame, in whom Danzo Shimura had placed such high hopes, had long since fallen to the ground without a sound.

"It seems you are not as heartless as I imagined."

"To be honest, I'm a little disappointed!"

As he spoke, Obito Uchiha tossed the barely conscious Fu Yamanaka before Danzo Shimura.

"You have half a day. If I don't see Rin's corpse..."

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

Danzo Shimura stood where he was, staring at the destruction Obito Uchiha had caused. He nearly ground his teeth to pieces. Extreme fury threatened to swallow his reason, yet he had no choice but to calm down.

Space-Time Ninjutsu was far too powerful. Nowhere in the shinobi world was there a sealing technique capable of sealing Space-Time Ninjutsu. There were only certain sensory techniques that could detect fluctuations when Space-Time Ninjutsu was activated.

With that alone, capturing Obito Uchiha was virtually impossible.

Furthermore, based on Danzo Shimura's observations, even if Nohara Rin were truly reanimated through Impure World Reincarnation, Obito Uchiha would likely be difficult to control. It might even produce the opposite effect.

"That damned Fourth Hokage! Why didn't he kill him back then?!"

Danzo Shimura spat out bitterly before turning and leaving.

Next, he needed to make some preparations. He could not truly let Obito Uchiha lead him by the nose. No matter how powerful Space-Time Ninjutsu was, it had its limits.

Within the Kamui Dimension, Obito Uchiha, who had just returned, finally could no longer endure it and collapsed headfirst onto the ground.

At that moment, White Zetsu, who had attached himself to Obito Uchiha with the Spore Technique, skillfully began treating him.

Danzo Shimura had guessed correctly. Obito Uchiha's Kamui did indeed have its limits. After wreaking havoc in Root's base and killing one of Danzo's top subordinates, how could he possibly have escaped unscathed?

Not only that, even the Mangekyo Sharingan nourished by Hashirama Cells had lost some of its vision.

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

But after awakening, Obito Uchiha felt as though he were in hell, with nothing but endless torment surrounding him.

"Rin..."

"I'm sorry!"

Once he had fully regained consciousness, Obito Uchiha left the Kamui Dimension and found Black Zetsu, who had been wandering outside, asking him to help deal with Danzo.

During the Nine-Tails' Attack, Obito Uchiha had nearly died because of Uchiha Yansheng.

Had Black Zetsu not suddenly erupted at the last moment and seized control of Minato Namikaze in one stroke, Obito Uchiha would have died long ago.

It was also after that incident that Obito Uchiha came to understand just how formidable Black Zetsu was. His strength belonged to an entirely different level.

"Obito, I've gathered two very interesting pieces of information."

"The first concerns Danzo's arrangements, as well as Rin's corpse."

Hearing this, Obito Uchiha impatiently said:

"We can discuss everything else later. Help me retrieve Rin's corpse first."

"Even if I am going to create a new world, I cannot bear to let Rin's body be desecrated by others right now."

Faced with Obito Uchiha's urging, Black Zetsu continued unhurriedly, "And the second piece of information concerns Uchiha Yansheng."

"According to the Third Hokage and his subordinates, Uchiha Yansheng appears to possess the ability to know the future."

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

At those words, intense killing intent burst from 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. Black Zetsu did not object, merely agreeing before following Obito Uchiha toward Danzo's location.

"Reanimate Nohara Rin through Impure World Reincarnation, but do not awaken her."

Inside another secret Root base, Danzo Shimura, whose hands and eyes had been restored, was giving orders to his subordinates.

"Lord Danzo, using this ninjutsu requires a living person as a sacrifice. In this base, there is currently..."

Before the ANBU could finish speaking, Danzo pointed without hesitation at another figure.

"Use him as the sacrifice."

At Danzo Shimura's words, a blue-haired youth slowly stepped forward, meekly awaiting his end.

Seeing this, the Root ninja who had mastered Impure World Reincarnation hesitated. But under Danzo Shimura's coercion, he had no choice but to form hand seals with both hands.

Accompanied by the blue-haired youth's scream, the reanimated Rin appeared in this world once more.

"Danzo!!!"

"What did you do? What exactly did you do..."

Obito Uchiha, who had just arrived, unfortunately witnessed everything.

For an instant, he had the urge to flee into the Kamui Dimension. Only when he noticed that the reanimated Rin had not opened her eyes did Obito Uchiha retain a shred of reason.

Seeing Obito Uchiha suddenly appear beside him, Danzo Shimura was not surprised. During their cooperation long ago, he had already learned that Obito Uchiha possessed exceptional intelligence-gathering abilities.

"Nohara Rin's corpse is over there..."

Danzo Shimura pointed toward a coffin not far away, as though Nohara Rin's reanimated body did not exist at all.

But at this moment, Obito Uchiha's entire attention had already been drawn to Rin's reanimated form.

Because Kamui was a Space-Time Dojutsu, Obito Uchiha could clearly sense that Rin's soul existed within that reanimated body.

"Black Zetsu! Help me..."

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

"I'm sorry, Obito. I can't help you... Her soul has been bound."

Black Zetsu's words utterly robbed Obito Uchiha of his reason.

With his Mangekyo Sharingan activated to its fullest, before Danzo Shimura could react, he pulled Nohara Rin's reanimated body into the Kamui Dimension.

Then came the coffin in the corner of the room.

After doing all that, Obito Uchiha raised a hand toward the Root ninja who had just used Impure World Reincarnation. A wooden spike shot forth at high speed, piercing straight through the man's chest.

The instant the wooden spike struck his body, it began to split and grow. Dozens of wooden spikes densely erupted from the Root ninja's back.

In such a state, even Tsunade would have been unable to save him.

Yet Danzo Shimura paid no attention to the dead Root ninja. Instead, he stared fixedly at Obito Uchiha.

"Wood Release. Where did you obtain it?"
