"Sasuke and Naruto still haven't woken up yet—why?" a ninja from the Alliance asked.
"Naruto's chakra is exhausted, and Sasuke is seriously injured..." another ninja replied...
"What about Katsuyu? And the medical-nin healing them..."
"That kunoichi was maintaining the treatment using Shinju chakra, but for some reason, Shinju suddenly pulled back all its chakra... so..."
"Then this is really bad... without Shinju here... and the remaining Alliance forces are heavily injured from the last battle... this is dangerous..."
...
At the same time, where Obito was.
Kakashi stepped out from Kamui space, and the moment he looked around, his jaw dropped wide open: ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ
"Why did the wooden Buddha summoned by the First Hokage fall over? (꒪⌓꒪)"
"Who did this? Did Shinju return?!"
Rin pointed at herself uncertainly. "It seems... I might've done it..."
She was still completely dazed.
"I don't know what happened either. All the jutsu I used today were ridiculously strong. A few Water Dragon Bullets not only blocked the Buddha's palm—they even shattered half its body... Σ( ° △ °|||)︴"
"Gulp~!"
Kakashi's neck stiffly turned toward Rin. His throat bobbed as he swallowed hard!
She did THAT??!
This—this was way too absurd! ∑(✘Д✘๑)
Her power scaling was completely broken!!
Even if Edo Tensei shinobi were special, they couldn't be THIS special!
Even if she was controlled, even if her mind was unclear—the one controlling the wooden Buddha was Senju Hashirama, the God of Shinobi!!
And Rin, who was still dazed and confused, managed to knock him down??! Σ(っ °Д °;)っ
Black Zetsu beside them was equally dumbfounded: (≖╻≖;)
And the one suffering the biggest psychological blow right now was him!
He originally planned to possess Obito's body, seize the Rinnegan, and call it a successful mission.
He never expected an insanely powerful Edo Tensei little girl to suddenly show up! ◝₍ᴑ̑ДO͝₎◞
Wait—wasn't this the girl Madara used back then...? She definitely wasn't this strong when she died. (°A°`)
"Fine, let's not dwell on it. The fact that you beat the First Hokage... is actually a good thing!" Kakashi finally calmed down after a long time. He placed a trembling hand on Rin's shoulder.
Only heaven knew how jealous he was!
Back then, in Team Minato, all three of them—
Obito started the Fourth Shinobi War and became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, insanely powerful!
And Rin, revived by Edo Tensei, threw a few jutsu and knocked down the First Hokage's wooden Buddha—completely insane!
And him? Other than bringing out Shinju, he basically had nothing to show for himself!!
And worst of all, Shinju wasn't even raised or trained by him! (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)
"Anyway, the important thing now is taking Obito's Rinnegan..." Kakashi turned toward Black Zetsu in the distance.
Black Zetsu retreated step by step, terrified. "Don't come over here... ꒦ິ^꒦ິ"
The extraction process went smoothly—after all, Rin was absurdly strong!!
"The Rinnegan is so important... where should we hide it?"
Rin looked at the eyeball in her hand, visibly troubled.
"Don't hide it. Give it to me."
A voice sounded behind them—Uchiha Madara!
Kakashi turned around: ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!
Kamui activated instantly!
"Swoosh!!"
A spatial vortex engulfed Nohara Rin, sending her into the other dimension!
Madara didn't waste any words. The moment Rin vanished, he instantly gouged out Kakashi's eye!
Then Madara used Kamui and vanished as well, clearly entering the other dimension!
Kakashi: ◝₍ᴑ̑ДO͝₎◞
Numb!
He'd spent forever trying to master free entry and exit, and Madara could use it the moment he got the eye!!
Just as Kakashi was about to break down crying, Might Guy's voice rang out: "Kakashi!"
...
Meanwhile, inside the other dimension.
Uchiha Madara and Nohara Rin faced each other!
Madara finally had time to carefully look at the girl before him and found her extremely familiar.
"Little girl, I know you."
Rin looked flattered. "Huh? But Madara-sama, you were already dead before I was even born..."
Madara shook his head.
"No, no, no. I didn't die at the Valley of the End battle with the First Hokage. I lived until the Third Shinobi War.（ --0027▿ --0027 ）"
"And because I lived, Obito lived."
"Your name is Rin, right? I specifically investigated you. You're the beloved of that idiot Obito."
"Back then, he didn't agree with my ideals and didn't want to work for me, so I needed to turn all his love for this world into hatred. (ﾉ∇︎〃 )"
"And you were the key."
Rin was still confused. "What do you mean? (⊙o⊙)"
Madara: "Remember the circumstances of your death? You were forcibly made into the Three-Tails' jinchuriki. Then you discovered Kirigakure's plan and used Kakashi's jutsu to kill yourself."
Rin nodded. "Yes, that happened. But what does it have to do with you?"
Madara said proudly, "I orchestrated all of it! (•̀⌄•́)"
"I ordered Kirigakure to seal the Three-Tails into you, and I had White Zetsu bring Obito there... all so he could watch his beloved die at his friend's hand. So that every bit of hope and love he had for this world would turn into hatred and despair!! (⌯︎¤̴̶̷̀ω¤̴̶̷́)✧︎"
"Only then could he devote himself fully to me, to achieving true peace for this world!"
Rin: "You predicted I would kill myself?"
Madara nodded. "Of course. I studied you. I knew you'd sacrifice yourself for the village... you shinobi are all like that. Foolish and ignorant, mistaking it for some ridiculous Will of Fire! (๑`･ᴗ･´๑)"
Rin fell silent.
"I've said enough. You can die understanding the truth. Hand over the eye. I don't like harming women. (｡◝ᴗ◜｡)" Madara said as he slowly reached out...
"You guided Obito down the wrong path, turning him against the shinobi world," Rin suddenly spoke.
"And you left me no choice, forcing me to run into Kakashi's Raikiri, making him live the rest of his life in regret..."
Madara: "Don't try to guilt me. I carry the true peace of the world on my back. Love always becomes hate. Hope always becomes despair..."
Before he could finish, Rin suddenly began forming hand signs!
Madara didn't care at all. He didn't even consider using the Rinnegan to repel or absorb it.
At the time she died, Rin had been at most a chunin. How could she threaten him? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The next moment, Rin finished her signs!
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!!! (▼ヘ▼#)"
"Whooosh——!!"
A massive torrent of water burst from Rin's mouth, striking Madara square in the chest. Then the overwhelming flood filled the entire space instantly!!
Madara: Σ(っ °Д °;)っ
"Impossible! How can a mere chunin use a jutsu this powerful... (σ;Д)σ"
Rin: "I don't know either, but I'm really strong right now! (●･̆⍛･̆●)"
"Water Release! Water Prison Technique!! Ծ‸ Ծ"
