The door squeaked as Shizune opened it from the inside and quickly closed it, leaving only a narrow door gap.
"Little Chen..." Shizune leaned out half of her body, her face full of worry. She looked at Senju Chen's pale and bloodless face, quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from the ninja bag in her arms, and poured out a dark green pill.
"This is Lady Tsunade's special military food pill, which can quickly replenish your physical strength and Chakra. You... you should recover first."
Her voice was very soft, with a hint of reluctance. Although she was full of questions, she wanted to ask about the girl's origins, and what kind of brutal battle they encountered, but looking at Senju Chen's shaky appearance and the life-and-death treatment inside the door, she knew that now was definitely not the time to speak.
Senju Chen was not polite. He took the pill and threw it directly into his mouth. He put his tongue on the roof of his mouth and felt the bitter Yakumi warm current slowly melting away and seeping into his limbs.
Shizune saw this and said no more. He nodded heavily to him, then retracted his body and closed the door completely.
"Click."
There was a slight sound of the lock locking, like a natural chasm, separating the inside and the outside into two worlds.
Inside the door is the battlefield for wrestling with Death God.
Outside the door, there is endless silence.
Senju Chen leaned his back against the cold wall and slowly slid down to the ground. The power of the Bingliang Pill began to take effect, and Chakra began to flow like a trickle in the dry meridians. However, the feeling of overdraft originating from the spiritual level was like a gangrene attached to the bone, making it difficult for him to even lift a finger.
He closed his eyes, but his mind couldn't calm down. The scenes that happened today flashed back like a revolving lantern.
Kirigakure's ambush, Three-Tails's seal, Shisui's cooperation, Kakashi's despair, my sister's determined eyes...
According to the original trajectory, Rin Nohara should have died under Kakashi's Lightning Blade. And Obito Uchiha, who was hiding in the dark and witnessed everything, his world Will collapse suddenly, Sharingan will evolve in extreme pain and despair, and will completely fall into darkness from then on, becoming the most perfect chess piece of Madara Uchiha, step by step towards the final path of launching Infinite Tsukuyomi.
But now...Rin Nohara is alive.
Although the situation was extremely critical, she was still alive after all, and was forcefully pulled out of that inevitable ending by herself.
Kakashi did not kill his companions with his own hands, and Obito did not witness that desperate scene with his own eyes.
Senju Chen's mouth curved uncontrollably.
But is it really that simple?
Madara Uchiha... Will the undead who has been planning for decades give up his long-planned plan because of such an "accident"?
No, absolutely impossible.
Senju Chen's mind is spinning rapidly. Madara Uchiha is already old and he does not have the second decade to wait for another suitable chess piece. Obito is his only choice and the most perfect choice. No matter what, he must let Obito become completely black and willingly inherit his will.
Seeing it with your own eyes is the best catalyst.
But what if... you can't see it with your own eyes?
Then "Hearing the News of Death" should have the same effect.
Senju Chen can almost imagine the next scene. The forged information from Shisui will be spread to Konoha High Command at the fastest speed through Root. And White Zetsu, who is lurking in Konoha, will definitely tell the "fact" that "Rin Nohara died together with the enemy in order to protect the village, leaving no bones left" to Obito who is recovering from his injuries verbatim.
For that simple young man, how different was this from seeing it with his own eyes?
Even that old fox Madara Uchiha can make this story more... provocative. He will tell Obito that it is Konoha's incompetence and the cruelty of this ninja world that That led to the death of Rin Nohara. He would describe Rin Nohara's "sacrifice" as a meaningless withering flower, and then promise Obito a... beautiful world with Lin's existence.
Eye of the Moon Plan will still be Obito's only salvation.
Thinking of this, Senju Chen's little luck that had just arisen was completely extinguished.
Obito, there is a high probability that it will still lead to the road of no return.
"Alas..."
An inaudible sigh escaped from his lips.
In addition to Obito, there is also Shisui.
When I think of that Uchiha genius with clear eyes and absolute loyalty to the village, Senju Chen feels his temples pounding.
How could this kid be so easily deceived by that old silver coin Danzo?
The rhetoric of "thwarting Kirigakure's conspiracy" that he made up was a perfect confirmation of Danzo's previous "magic plan". After this battle, Shisui may have regarded Danzo as the real "root" who can see through the darkness and protect Konoha, and his level of trust in him may exceed that of Third Hokage.
In order to save Lin, he accidentally... actually pushed Shisui, the sharpest knife, deeper into Danzo's grasp.
No matter how you calculate it, this transaction feels like a bit of a loss.
What worries Senju Chen even more is Shisui's eyes.
Today's situation was urgent, and he hadn't had time to observe it carefully. But Shisui's ghostly movement and Battle Intuition, who were far beyond his peers, both made him feel frightened.
In the original book, the description of the time when Shisui turned on Mangekyō Sharingan is very vague.
But the opening of Mangekyō is bound to be accompanied by the ultimate emotional impact. Judging from the "guarding" artistic conception of "Kotoamatsukami", it is most likely that after Nine-Tails' Attack, The conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the village intensified to the point of irreconcilability. Shisui only awakened the strongest pair of Genjutsu eyes in the fierce conflict and pain between the two beliefs of "protecting the village" and "protecting the family".
But...
The reason why geniuses are geniuses is because they never play their cards according to common sense.
Next time... next time you see Shisui, you must find a way to confirm it.
Senju Chen rubbed his swollen eyebrows and felt that one head was as big as two.
Just then--
"Well..."
An extremely slight groan, suppressed by great pain, seeped out from the crack in the door.
Senju Chen's body shook violently.
He could hear Shizune's low-pitched exclamation coming from inside, the crisp sound of equipment colliding, and... his sister's steady but slightly rapid breathing.
It seems that treatment has entered the most critical stage.
Senju Chen slowly sat up straight and pressed his back tightly against the door panel, as if this could convey some strength to the people inside.
There was nothing he could do outside the door but wait.
Waiting for the final result of this rescue.
Rin Nohara's life and death, whether she can escape the fate of dying young in the original work, depends on her sister's medical skills and her own luck.
