Bring Nohara Rin Back with Impure World Reincarnation

At that moment, Shimura Danzō felt utterly hopeless.

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

The sounds of battle came from the depths of the Root base.

Shimura Danzō knew that his two most outstanding subordinates, Torune Aburame and Fu Yamanaka, had joined forces. They would certainly be able to...

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

Shimura Danzō shouted at the top of his lungs, finally stopping Obito Uchiha from snapping Fu Yamanaka's arm.

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

"Looks like 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 Shimura Danzō.

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

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

Shimura Danzō stood where he was, staring at the destruction Obito Uchiha had caused. He nearly ground his teeth to pieces. Extreme fury was on the verge of swallowing his reason, yet he had no choice but to calm down.

Space-time ninjutsu was far too formidable. There was no sealing jutsu in the entire Ninja World capable of sealing space-time ninjutsu. There were only certain sensory ninjutsu that could detect fluctuations when space-time ninjutsu was activated.

Using those alone to capture Obito Uchiha was practically impossible.

Moreover, based on Shimura Danzō's observations, even if Nohara Rin were truly brought back through Impure World Reincarnation, Obito Uchiha would likely be difficult to control. It might even have the opposite effect.

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

After spitting out those resentful words, Shimura Danzō turned and left.

Next, he needed to make preparations. He could not truly let Obito Uchiha lead him around 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 not hold on any longer 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.

Shimura Danzō had guessed correctly. Obito Uchiha's Kamui did indeed have limits. After causing havoc in Root's base and killing one of Danzo's most capable generals, how could he possibly have escaped unscathed?

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

After several hours of treatment, Obito Uchiha finally woke up.

Yet once awake, Obito Uchiha felt as though he were in hell, with nothing but endless torment.

"Rin..."

"I'm sorry!"

After fully regaining 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 Ensei.

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

It was only after that that Obito Uchiha understood how strong Black Zetsu was—a strength on an entirely different level.

"Obito, I gathered two rather interesting pieces of information."

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

Hearing that, Obito Uchiha impatiently said:

"We can discuss the rest later. Help me recover Rin's corpse first."

"Even if I am to create a new world, I cannot bear to see Rin's body desecrated by others."

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

"According to the Third Hokage and his subordinates, Uchiha Ensei seemingly possesses the ability to know the future."

"And it was that Uchiha Ensei 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 nuisance."

Obito Uchiha spoke coldly. Black Zetsu did not object, merely agreeing before following Obito Uchiha to Danzo's location.

"Bring Nohara Rin back with Impure World Reincarnation, but do not awaken her."

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

"Lord Danzo, performing this ninjutsu requires a living person as a sacrifice. In this base right now..."

Before the ANBU could finish speaking, Danzo unhesitatingly pointed at another figure.

"Use him as the sacrifice."

Following Shimura Danzō's words, a blue-haired boy slowly stepped forward, meekly awaiting his end.

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

Accompanied by the blue-haired boy's screams, Rin, brought back through Impure World Reincarnation, once again appeared in this world.

"Danzo!!!"

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

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

In an instant, he wanted to flee into the Kamui Dimension. Only when he noticed that Rin, brought back through Impure World Reincarnation, had not opened her eyes did Obito Uchiha retain a sliver of reason.

Shimura Danzō was not surprised to see Obito Uchiha suddenly appear beside him. He had learned long ago, during their cooperation, that Obito Uchiha possessed formidable intelligence-gathering abilities.

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

Shimura Danzō pointed toward a coffin not far away, as though Rin's Impure World Reincarnation body did not exist at all.

At that moment, Obito Uchiha's attention had already been completely drawn to Rin's Impure World Reincarnation form.

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

"Black Zetsu! Help me..."

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

"Unfortunately, Obito. I cannot help you... Her soul has been bound."

Black Zetsu's words completely drove Obito Uchiha mad.

With his Mangekyō Sharingan activated to its fullest, before Shimura Danzō could react, he drew Rin's Impure World Reincarnation body into the Kamui Dimension.

Next was the coffin in the corner of the room.

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

After striking his body, the wooden spike immediately began splitting and growing. Dozens of wooden spikes densely protruded from the Root ninja's back.

Even if Tsunade had been there, she would have been unable to save him.

Yet Shimura Danzō paid no attention to the dead Root ninja, merely staring fixedly at Obito Uchiha.

"Wood Release. Where did you obtain it?"
