Raizen observed the wind-swayed branches of the distant trees, each leaf's veins sharp and distinct under his gaze.
Swarms of insects flitted around the streetlights, their wingbeats more clearly discernible than ever, like tiny rhythms suspended in the air.Obito's face was close, etched with shock and anger, every muscle taut, teeth faintly grinding.
Raizen's crimson eyes, streaked with black tomoe, swept over him, capturing the subtleties of each expression.
The power of the Sharingan pulsed within him, heightening every detail.
Turning his attention to Nohara Rin, Raizen saw her faint weariness, worry unmasked in her eyes.
Though subtle, her concern for Kakashi radiated from her posture and brows.
A soft smile curved Raizen's lips as he quietly observed them.
To him, Obito represented a bull with no victim....a person whose life had brought pain to the ninja world: the Nine-Tails' rampage, the Blood Mist Village, the Fourth Shinobi World War.
One tragedy after another, countless innocents uprooted, families torn apart, lives lost.
Punishment seemed justified. Changing him? That was beyond Raizen's concern, especially given Madara Uchiha's influence over Obito, using him as a pawn.Obsessively, Obito blamed the ninja system for Kakashi's actions, yet a normal person might have sought reform, started a revolution.
Obito? He wanted the entire world trapped in Infinite Tsukuyomi to escape his perceived failures. This extreme nature reflected the inherent darkness within his clan, amplified by the influence of ocular power on personality.
Raizen, not a pure-blood Uchiha and foreign to this world, could not comprehend this madness. Nor could he hope to change it.
Yet he knew Rin Nohara would return, compelled by her loyalty to Kakashi. If she failed to grasp the chakra transformation the first time, the fault lay with her effort, not him.
He intended to make her reflect: had she truly tried hard enough?Rin and Obito exited the Uchiha settlement, one final step bringing them to Konoha's streets.
"Obito, Raizen was only helping me with Chakra Nature Transformation," Rin explained."Chakra Nature Transformation?
What does that even need?" Obito asked, skepticism in his tone
He hesitated, then added, "Rin, don't trust that Uchiha Raizen. Some people look harmless, but their hearts are dark.
Obito wanted to dissuade her from returning to Raizen, but he lacked understanding of chakra nature.
He had never heard of physical contact, hand-holding even, being necessary for such training."
Obito, you don't understand," Rin replied, shaking her head. Whether it worked or not, she had to try.
Could she simply watch Kakashi succumb to despair? A ninja acting impulsively risked disaster during missions. She needed to share some of Kakashi's burden.
I'm going back now," Rin declared, waving as she stepped from the settlement.
Obito lingered, leaning against the Uchiha wall, pondering. Rin had learned chakra nature transformation, but she had intended to become a medical ninja.
Was she now tapping into Yang Release instead?Morning arrived.Raizen rose, ate a simple breakfast, washed, and headed to the Third Training Ground.
The dense forest greeted him, birds occasionally
fleeing through the trees. He stopped before a tree, refined chakra with precision, formed hand seals, and brought his index and middle fingers together.
Blue and white electric arcs coiled around his fingers, calculating chakra and stamina expenditure.
Unlike the Lightning Release Iron Body or the Cloud Village swordsmanship he had mastered, offensive ninjutsu like Lightning Release
Lightning Finger demanded precision. Any mismanagement would waste energy.
Only Jonin could perfectly convert excess chakra into stamina.Crack! A faint electric arc resonated.
The chakra in his meridian channels surged forward as Raizen thrust, sizzle rising from the scorched tree bark.
Two black holes remained in his fingers, smoke curling upwards.
Not bad," he murmured. Ninjutsu rank was secondary; high values in "ninjutsu" and "essence" could amplify power.
For example, Madara Uchiha's Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation required twenty Kirigakure ninjas' B-rank Water Walls to resist.
Raizen's Lightning Release adaptation, bolstered by his Yotsuki talent, had increased his Lightning Release Genin stat by 20%, making even Lightning Finger deadly.
And... I'm still getting stronger." His eye's feedback had persisted since last night; he sensed it would continue.
Next, genjutsu," Raizen decided. With swordsmanship and Lightning Release mastered, he now pursued the genjutsu attribute.
He was uncertain if Lightning Release: Blazing Flash would count as genjutsu or Lightning Release in the panel, but contemplation was useless. Strengthening himself now was the only path.
Konoha streets bustled.Nohara Rin moved among the crowd, thoughts of Kakashi in her mind."Lightning Release… how do I activate the cells?" she murmured.
A familiar voice caught her attention—Kakashi."Kakashi, are you in the three-person team now?"
Rin greeted the young ninja she had longed to see."Yes," Kakashi nodded, clad in ninja attire and carrying White Fang's short sword."
How are things going with your new teammates?""We're just on a mission together; whether we get along or not isn't important
,"Kakashi said casually.This morning, he had met his two new teammates and the Jonin leading the team.
He didn't feel anything particular.....he just hoped they could complete the mission.
Hearing Kakashi's nonchalant tone, Nohara Rin already guessed that Kakashi might not be getting along very well with his new teammates.
