"You are finally here."
A teasing smile appeared on Obito's lips, and the Mangekyo in his pupils rotated slightly.
The space in front of him was distorted, and visible vortex ripples appeared, which directly sucked Rin's body in.
Obito turned his body slightly and looked in one direction.
The next moment, whirlpool-like ripples centered on his right eye immediately swept his body in.
rustle!
When they intersected, a figure rushed out from the forest. When Minato saw the scene clearly, his pupils trembled violently.
The first thing that caught his eye was a giant dark red tree with thorns growing on its trunk, on which hung the pierced corpses of Mist Ninjas.
"Wood Release!?"
Minato exclaimed in shock. What surprised him most was not the dozens of Kirigakure ninjas being killed in front of him.
But the method to kill the Kirigakure ninja was actually the Wood Release that only the First Hokage mastered.
"Kakashi?"
At this moment, his sensor detected the already extremely weak chakra fluctuation.
Immediately he moved and came to the side of the unconscious boy.
How come he is here?
Thinking of this, Minato first helped him up. At this moment, something fell from the latter's hand with a slight sound.
Minato looked over and saw that it was his Flying Thunder God Kunai.
He frowned slightly, then picked up the kunai and examined it.
Minato was stunned. He couldn't sense this kunai before because there was a restriction placed on it.
Such a seal is actually a method used by the Uzumaki clan.
"Buzz."
At this moment, at the edge of the forest, the ground rippled slightly and then returned to calm.
Minato's face was solemn, and his palm tightly clenched the special kunai in his hand.
Because... from the current situation, he was being plotted against!
The kunai was placed there intentionally by someone.
The purpose is to lead him here...
Minato looked at the unconscious Kakashi, who looked particularly weak.
There were many scars all over his body, but none of them were fatal.
At this time, Kakashi's chakra fluctuations were extremely weak, and his fainting was due to excessive fatigue.
Since he escaped, where is Rin now?
Suddenly, Minato sensed an extremely cold feeling.
"This feeling…"
Minato was stunned, and a faint growl was heard in the air in front of him.
He was not unfamiliar with that feeling,
the chakra of the tailed beasts!
Such fluctuations would be impossible to detect if Minato's body had not been transformed by the Nine-Tails' chakra.
This feeling is definitely not wrong, but if it is the chakra of the tailed beast, why is it so weak?
Obviously it cannot be because there have been traces of the tailed beast raging here, otherwise he would be able to sense it from a long distance.
The terrain here should also undergo drastic changes.
But if this is the case, then the final possibility is that
the Jinchūriki who seals the tailed beast in his body dies, and the tailed beast dies with it.
The tailed beast's chakra was too huge to dissipate for a while, so he was able to sense it.
If that's the case, then who was the Jinchūriki who died here?
There were too many clues, even with Minato's wisdom, it was impossible to digest them.
There are still ninjas in this world who can use Wood Release Ninjutsu. Where did Rin go?
A tailed beast died with the death of the Jinchūriki.
These temporarily unexplainable information were pieced together in his mind.
Faintly, a fragmented but huge conspiracy was formed.
Since his youth, there has been someone plotting against him.
Perhaps it was because his strength was no longer comparable to what it was before, so that person never attacked him again.
His target is the people around him.
In this way, it can be explained why Kirigakure only kidnapped Kakashi and Rin!
Immediately his heart trembled violently.
"Kushina!"
Konoha is currently extremely weak, and the people who are plotting against him are extremely powerful and calculating. There is no guarantee that Kushina, who is in Konoha, will not get into trouble!
He didn't have time to think through all the chaos at the moment, picked up Kakashi, and then his sensor extended to the direction of Konoha and his figure disappeared.
In the underground cave, Madara and Obito stood opposite each other.
There was a dull look in the latter's eyes, as if he had been under an illusion.
Obito raised his eyebrows, calmed down, and then said: "How do we achieve this plan?"
His expression was still filled with shock. After all, what Madara had just said to him was too shocking.
"The first thing is to obtain the nine tailed beasts from the five major ninja nations. Only by gathering their power can the Ten-Tails be resurrected. This is the basis for all actions."
"It's just that you should be very clear about the difficulty involved."
Madara said that even though Obito has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan now, with the power of the thing he transplanted to him, as long as he gives him a little guidance, the latter will be able to become one of the best ninja in the current ninja world.
"But you don't have to worry. Nagato will definitely be a help to you."
He had already told Obito that he had transplanted his own Rinnegan to Nagato.
With Nagato's bloodline, even if he couldn't unleash the full power of those eyes, but only a part of it would be enough to dominate the current ninja world.
"Next, I will teach you some forbidden techniques of the Uchiha and Six Paths, and allow you to fully utilize the power of your eyes."
Madara raised his eyes, then looked at Obito and said: "After I die, you must join forces with Nagato and do something."
"What is that?"
Obito asked with an indifferent expression.
"Find the right moment to control the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, and with the help of you, the Nine-Tails, and Nagato's power, get rid of Namikaze Minato!"
As Madara spoke, he paid attention to Obito's expression, the latter's eyes trembled.
"What? You don't want to attack your own teacher?"
Obito's face darkened, and then he said: "Everything in this world has nothing to do with me. No matter who it is... as long as they hinder my plan, they must be eliminated!"
He was well aware of Minato Namikaze's strength, and if he was not eliminated, he would be a huge threat.
"Great"
Madara looked at the boy in front of him and smiled sinisterly.
…
Konoha Hospital.
The unconscious Kakashi suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he, who was usually calm, burst into tears.
"Minato-sensei...I...killed Rin!"
