The red Chakra on Lin's body was too thick, so thick that the thin layer of Chakra she used to maintain her disguise was washed away layer by layer.
First the hair.
"Mizu Wuxue"'s long dark blue hair began to fade from the ends. When it faded halfway, the length also began to shorten, shrinking all the way to below the ears, turning into short brown hair.
Then there's the face.
The sharp chin is gone, and the mandibular line has become rounded. The curvature of the eyebrows has changed, becoming smoother and softer.
On both cheeks, a purple rectangular pattern appeared.
Finally, there are the eyes.
The dark red layer of Tailed Beast Chakra retreated a little at this moment.
The orange color fades.
What was exposed was a pair of brown eyes.
Obito's Kamui stopped.
He wasn't the one who made it stop.
He forgot.
Half of his body was still in the spiral, and half was exposed, just stuck in the gap between the two spaces. The Tomoe in his right eye stopped rotating and was stuck in place.
The waves lap against the rocks.
Burning reeds crackle.
Someone was shouting in the distance, and Kakkō was approaching this way.
Obito Heard nothing.
He looked at that face.
I thought about it when I was being fed liquid food by White Zetsu in Madara's underground cave.
In the years when Kirigakure was at its thickest, I thought about it every night when I couldn't sleep.
I thought about it in front of the tombstone with her name written on it.
He thought about it for many years.
Thinking about it later, he couldn't remember much. He only remembered a rough idea, the way she smiled, and the two purple lines on her cheeks.
He thought he would never see it again.
But now it's just a few meters away.
The hair on his forehead was messed up by the sea breeze, with sweat, bloodshot eyes, and three dissipating Tailed Beast tails.
alive.
"Madara... said she was dead."
"Black Zetsu said... he saw it with his own eyes."
"I also saw it with my own eyes. That tombstone. And that piece of clothing. That collapsed cave..."
"But since she is alive, then I have spent these years."
"What the hell am I doing."
He opened his mouth.
There is something blocked in the throat and I can't make a sound.
He tried again.
"... Lin?"
The voice is very hoarse and light.
It was so light that it was half drowned out by the sound of the waves.
But the person on the other side heard it.
The Tailed Beast Chakra on Lin's body was receding, leaving only a faint shadow of the three tails. Just as she was about to catch up, her footsteps suddenly stopped.
She looked at the man stuck in the spiral.
"You..." When Rin Nohara heard this word, his movements stopped subconsciously.
"Who are you?"
Obito did not answer.
His hands are shaking.
The sound of footsteps came from behind. Anyue people had rushed to the seawall. Some people were shouting "Lord Shui Wuxue" and some people were Hand Seals.
Kamui's spiral has started turning again.
This time, it was his body's instinct that made the decision for him.
Obito's figure was drawn into the void.
The moment before he disappeared completely, the crack on the mask that was pulled out by the tail finally couldn't hold on anymore, and a small orange fragment collapsed from the edge of the mask and fell on the rocks with a clang.
The spiral closes.
There are no people left.
When Anyue's ninjas rushed to the rocky beach, they only saw their diplomat standing there alone.
Her disguise has been restored, with long dark blue hair, a pointed chin, and orange eyes.
"Lord Shui Wuxue! Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Lin said, "The other party ran away."
"Want to chase?"
"Can't catch up."
The leading Anyue ninja wanted to say something else, but Lin had already bent down and picked up the orange fragment from the rock.
The fragments are not big, have sharp edges, and have a spiral pattern on the corner.
She held the pieces in her hands.
"Go to the North Shore and inform Master Mei Terumi." She said, "Just say... there are guests here."
"Yes!"
Anyue people dispersed.
Lin stood there, the sea breeze blowing her hair.
Her right hand went back to her waist.
"Isobu, the other party recognized me."
"Well, she called out your real name."
Lin lowered her head and looked at the fragment in her hand.
The voice was very hoarse and soft, and it didn't match any other voice in her memory.
She was sure that there was no one like her among the people she had met over the years, but this person actually knew her name!!!
Thirty meters away, the deepest part of the reed marsh.
A piece of black stuff slowly sank from the mud.
It sees everything that just happened from beginning to end.
"It's over..."
The wind is still blowing on the sea wall.
The small orange mask fragment was held in the palm of Rin Nohara's hand, the edge sinking deeply into his flesh.
The patrol leader of Anyue took a cautious look at this diplomat who was usually extremely gentle and even often helped fishermen clean wounds for free.
At this moment, although the dark blue robe on her body was dripping with water, the hidden Chakra fluctuations in her body made this elite Anyue ninja feel a chill on the back of her neck.
That is definitely not the size that ordinary Jonin can possess.
"Sir Shui Wuxue...Mei Terumi, the coastal defense meeting has just ended and is on its way here." The captain lowered his head and reported.
Rin Nohara put his hand back into his sleeve and rubbed his fingertips in his palm.
"You don't have to wait for her to come over." Her voice regained the calmness and restraint it had at Mizukage Building, "Tell Mei Terumi that the defense on the North Shore remains as usual. Tonight's matter is classified as S-class top secret, so we can go directly to the highest-encrypted channel."
The captain raised his head suddenly, a trace of shock flashing across his eyes.
S-class top secret? Highest encryption channel?
But thinking that the woman in front of him was the personal secretary of Master Mizukage "Kirisame Ryo", the captain quickly suppressed all questions and touched the ground with one knee. "I understand!"
Several Anyue ninjas turned into afterimages and dispersed into the thick night fog.
The only thing left on the beach is the whimpering of the tide.
Rin Nohara raised his hand and looked down at the fragment with a little dirt on it.
"Isobu."
"... I cracked the bones in the left shoulder of that person just now." Three-Tails's deep and deep thoughts slowly echoed in the depths of her mind, with rare surprise, "But his right eye is a genuine Sharingan. And... that space technique is not a regular Ninjutsu. He seems to have hidden his body directly into another dimension."
"Well, that person is not simple."
"I'm not from the base, but he actually recognized my appearance and even called me by my name."
Rin Nohara turned around, stepped on the wet stone road, and walked quickly towards the tower.
She must courier this information and deliver it personally to Senju Chen.
At the same time.
Thirty miles away from Kirigakure.
"Boom!"
A black shadow fell awkwardly from the twisting Uzumaki rotating in mid-air, and hit the top of a gray-white stone pillar hard.
Obito was kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily.
The severe pain in his left shoulder penetrated like a flame along the nerves and into his brain. The black robe was torn to pieces, and the exposed flesh was torn and the bones were visible. There was even a faint red Chakra corroding his cells at the edge of the wound.
But he felt no pain.
His right hand clutched his face, and his nails dug deeply into the edge of the damaged orange mask.
"Crack!"
He tore off the remaining half of the mask and threw it on the hard stone floor, breaking into several pieces.
