Rin fell right before Kakashi and Obito's eyes.
The Kirigakure ninja could only feel regret at the sight.
"Damn it, he actually pulled it off!"
"After all the trouble we went through to get her..."
Obito's eyes were stretched wide with anguish. Within his blood-red pupils, two tomoe became three, and those three began spinning rapidly.
Under the stimulus of such intense emotion, Obito's Sharingan began to evolve.
That overwhelming surge of emotion triggered the same evolution in the Sharingan in Kakashi's eye.

The ground cracked with every step he took.
"Bastard, don't underestimate the ninja of the Bloody Mist!"
One ninja drew his sword and stepped forward.
