Rin's Despair

As he pondered this, Tobi said again:

"The Kirigakure achieved remarkable results. It is said that a few days ago, they even captured a medical-nin from Konoha named Rin Nohara, which attracted the attention of the Yellow Flash, who gave chase, but ultimately failed to rescue her."

"What!!"

Long Ye's expression changed drastically once again.

In that instant, it was as if a pane of glass had shattered in his mind, and he instantly understood the whole story.

He recalled that in history, Kirigakure had indeed taken advantage of Konoha's laxity and launched a surprise attack on Konoha immediately after the Third Shinobi World War.

But just now, he couldn't understand why Kirigakure was launching another war, because in the past, it wasn't Kirigakure that intentionally started the war, but rather because Madara Uchiha manipulated the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura.

Madara Uchiha did this to kidnap Rin, but through a series of interconnected conspiracies, he made Obito witness Rin's tragic death and then plunged him into darkness.

The only difference is that the original Obito has become himself.

"Could it be that Madara Uchiha orchestrated this conspiracy, originally intended to target Obito, in order to make me completely devoted to the Eye of the Moon Plan, both internally and mentally?"

"If it's true, then now..."

Fear flashed in Long Ye's eyes.

If what he thinks is true, then after Rin was captured by Kirigakure, her body would definitely be sealed into the "Three-Tails," and in order to avoid causing disaster to Konoha, Rin would choose to die at the hands of her comrade Kakashi.

Before he knew it, his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"It seems you know this girl named Lin?" Tobi asked knowingly.

Since the target Long Ye, it means that the other party has already obtained a very clear understanding of his information.

"Yes, I know her. Do you know where she is now?"

Long Ye suppressed his rage and asked.

"It's a coincidence. For some reason, I do know that the girl you know and a boy named Kakashi are currently in trouble."

My heart sank to the bottom in the Long Ye.

Isn't all of this exactly the scene when Madara Uchiha plotted to plunge Obito into darkness?

"I must save her! I trust you will lead the way."

Long Ye was anxious, but outwardly she could only suppress her inner impulses.

The other party had figured out his relationship with Lin, and went to great lengths to set up this scheme, all to make him witness Lin's death and fall into despair of the world.

"Madara Uchiha... you really think highly of me!"

Long Ye cursed and resented in her heart.

To allow him to witness Lin's death, someone naturally needed to lead the way, and sure enough, Tobi nodded quite calmly:

"I'd be more than happy to show you the way!"

Long Ye's hands moved swiftly, changing hand seals.

Boom boom boom boom!!

Four loud bangs followed, and four wooden hands burst from the ground, transforming into fists that simultaneously struck a rock the size of a house.

With a loud explosion, the rocks shattered into pieces, revealing an exit leading out of the mountains.

"Such immense power!!"

Tobi's voice sounded somewhat surprised.

Because of Long Ye's previous training, the "Hotei Technique" she used was far from powerful enough to shatter this boulder in one strike.

"It's Explosion Release!"

"This kid is simply a genius. In just three months, he not only mastered the Wood Release: Hotei Technique to a basic level, but also added his own Explosion Release to the Wood Release, achieving a superposition of the powers of two Kekkei Genkai. No wonder its power is so astonishing..."

"Run!!"

Long Ye a roar, Longye leaped forward and charged out.

Tobi followed closely behind.

Long Ye emerged from the depths of the mountain, speeding along at breakneck speed. Due to the changes in his physique, he had transformed into Lightning Flash, his speed increasing by a third compared to before.

Even Shisui's Body Flicker Technique might be inferior to his current level.

In the jungle, he was like a bolt of Flowing Lightning, passing through trees and nothing could stop him.

At first, Tobi could barely keep up, but after only a dozen breaths, he fell further and further behind and gradually lost his strength.

Long Ye was anxious because it concerned Lin's life and death; he needed to get there as quickly as possible to prevent the tragedy from happening.

But for Tobi, it was quite the opposite. He absolutely could not let Long Ye rescue Lin. His goal was to make Long Ye see the girl's corpse.

Only Tobi knew their destination. Seeing that Long Ye couldn't keep up with her speed, Longye had no choice but to grab him and speed away with him.

Traveling alone is naturally slower than traveling with a living person, but in order to get guidance from Tobi, there was no other choice.

The Kirigakure forces split into two groups.

One group, comprised of elite ninja from the Kirigakure, launched a surprise attack on Konoha to draw attention away from the village.

Another team, carrying Rin Nohara who had sealed away three of the Tailed Beast, prepared to release them to destroy Konoha.

This was an open conspiracy, obtained by Konoha through sheer effort. As for the clandestine plot against Long Ye, naturally no one knew about it.

Having received intelligence, the Konoha High Command took this meticulously planned operation to destroy Konoha very seriously.

On one hand, they resisted the attacks of the Kirigakure's elite forces, and on the other hand, they dispatched elite squads to prevent the Tailed Beast from entering Konohagakure.

The Kirigakure unit that escorted Rin Nohara operated with great secrecy. Without detailed intelligence, Konoha could only split its forces into several groups to search for the unit's whereabouts.

Finally, by a twist of fate, Kakashi and Obito discovered this elite Kirigakure unit and Rin Nohara, who was being held hostage by them.

A battle is about to break out.

Three months later, Kakashi had been promoted to Jonin.

He further perfected the Lightning Release: Chidori, and together with Obito, who possessed the Obito with Two-Tomoe Sharingan, they had become a formidable force.

The two fought a squad of over a dozen Kirigakure Jonin, killing three of them in a single exchange.

The fighting continues.

But Rin, who witnessed all of this, showed no joy when Kakashi and Obito came to her rescue; her face was ashen.

He was aware of his situation. The Three-Tails was sealed inside his body by the Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, and his heart was also sealed, preventing him from harming himself.

This destined her to become a humanoid weapon. The Kirigakure Ninja went to great lengths to bring her to Konoha in order to release the Tailed Beast and inflict devastating damage on Konoha.

"Long Ye! We'll see each other again in another world soon."

Lin murmured to herself softly.

Her expression was initially resolute, but then, thinking of that name, a smile appeared on her lips.

She suddenly realized that even if she died and her soul entered another world, she would not be alone, because someone was already there waiting for her.

Thinking about this, she surprisingly lost her fear of death.

She raised her head, her empty eyes looking at Kakashi.

At this moment, Kakashi was using his signature move, Lightning Release: Chidori, wielding a blinding ball of lightning as he attacked a Kirigakure Ninja.
