Rin Nohara had been training at the Weasel Burial Mound for a long time.
Under Tetsuya's guidance, she was no longer a medical ninja others could easily target. She was now a Perfect Jinchuriki who had made peace with Isobu, a powerful fighter proficient in the Rasengan, Flying Thunder God, and a wide range of Water Release Ninjutsu.
