Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 589 A Minotaur in Person!

Rin Nohara's reanimated body remained the same age she was at the time of her death, and the Konoha headband on her forehead glowed faintly in the chakra storm.

She stared in confusion at the six unfamiliar figures before her, until her gaze fell upon Obito's eyes. "Obito-kun?"

The battlefield suddenly became eerily quiet.
When Obito saw Nohara Rin, who had been resurrected using Edo Tensei, he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

"Lin, is it really you?" His voice was hoarse, like sandpaper scraping. "No, this must be an illusion."

He abruptly turned his head and glared at Orochimaru, "How dare you—!"

Rin Nohara tilted her head in confusion, then her eyes lit up as she looked at Kakashi: "Kakashi! You've grown up to be so handsome!"

She smiled and tried to run over, but was suddenly stopped in her tracks by the eerie silence of the battlefield.

She looked around, then looked with a puzzled expression at the headbands on the heads of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

They and Kakashi both had the unified "Patriot" character on their foreheads.

"Kakashi! What's with that headband? Where's your Konoha headband?!" Her voice trembled as she glanced at Tsunade, Onoki, and the others. "Wait... why is Lady Tsunade standing with the Tsuchikage?"

When she saw the corpses strewn across the ground, she seemed to realize something and took a half-step back. "This is a battlefield? Then who are the enemies?"

Her gaze slowly shifted back to Obito's face, and when she saw the distorted eye pattern in his eyes, she suddenly covered her mouth: "Obito-kun, why are your eyes and your skin like this? Why is everyone looking at you like this? Why am I looking like this?"

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly pressed her temple in pain, her impure body crumbling into pieces as the forcibly awakened memories of death assaulted her consciousness!

"So... I was already dead." She looked at her cracked hands and smiled bitterly, then suddenly looked up and stared directly at Obito. "Obito, you survived."

Before Obito could figure out how to talk to Rin Nohara, Uchiha U appeared beside her like a ghost.

He had somehow acquired a bloodstained Allied headband, which he was slowly and deliberately tying around his forehead.

"Damn it! Stay away from Rin!" Obito's twisted roar came from afar. The Kamui vortex twisted and took shape again, and the tip of the Six Paths Staff had already pierced a spatial rift, but he suddenly froze when he heard the next sentence.

"Why, Obito?" Nohara Rin blinked in confusion, her finger gently pointing to Uchiha Yu's headband. "Doesn't he wear this headband too?" She turned to look at Yu, a lingering smile in her eyes. "I'm Nohara Rin, nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you. I am Konoha's special tactical advisor. I'll take this opportunity to tell Miss Rin about the current battle situation."

"Simply put, an organization wants to use Infinite Tsukuyomi to create a false peace, turning all of humanity into puppets in an illusion, while in reality..."

"All living beings will hang on the branches of the tree, providing nourishment to it. A false peace."

"This is terrible!" She instinctively clenched her fists, her voice trembling with tears. "How could they do this to someone?"

Uchiha U smiled. "What do you think of this Eye of the Moon plan?"

"Terrifying! Shameless! How could anyone want to create such a fake world?" Nohara Rin shook her head and backed away.

"Aaaaah—!" Obito suddenly clutched his head and knelt on the ground, the Ten-Tails' chakra raging like a burst dam.

Rin Nohara watched her former comrade frantically tearing at her hair, tears streaming down her face: "Obito-kun, what happened to make you like this? Your skin, your body..."

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, he's the one implementing the Eye of the Moon Project, and we..."

"They are all weak groups who oppose him."

"Because everyone in the world will become nourishment for the Divine Tree, they have abandoned their past hatred and stood together to become the Allied Shinobi Forces."

"Obito in front of you"

"They are our enemies!"

Rin Nohara's smile froze on her face.
"Is what he said true?"

Rin Nohara first turned to look at Kakashi, but seeing Kakashi's dejected expression, she was struck dumb and took several steps back.
"No! That's not how it is!" Obito suddenly lunged at Rin Nohara. "Rin, listen to me! The Eye of the Moon can create a world where you exist! There, Kakashi won't be late, Minato-sensei won't die, and neither will you!"

His explanation came to an abrupt halt. Nohara Rin's trembling hand was pointing at the corpses strewn across the ground.

"Obito." She looked up, tears streaming down her face. "If I had known back then that I would become an excuse to hurt everyone, I would have rather Kakashi's Lightning Blade had penetrated two inches deeper."

I wish I had never been to this world.

Obito shouted, "No! That's not it!"

Nohara Rin interrupted, "So, are you doing the same things as those who killed me back then?"

Obito staggered backward as if struck by a heavy blow, the Ten-Tails' chakra surging around him in a dark vortex.

He opened his mouth, but only let out a low growl like a wild beast.

He's angry!

He is so angry!
He reached out his hand, wanting to throw the Dao-Seeking Ball at Uchiha U.

But then I discovered this shameless guy.
She actually hid behind Nohara Rin.
"Throw it! Come on! I believe that with your Six Paths power, even the Impure World Reincarnation technique will be destroyed. Come on~ throw it! Wasting chakra? Taking it out and not throwing it is no different from squatting on the toilet and sitting back down on the shit that has already crawled out!"

"Ahhhh!"

Seeing Obito's exasperated expression, Uchiha U continued to deliver the finishing blow.

"Miss Nohara Rin, do you know what happened after you died?"

Nohara Rin's eyes dimmed. "Go ahead and tell me."

"Are you sure you want to listen?"

"Yeah, I have to listen."

"Okay, then I'll start talking~"

"To put it simply, the Nine-Tails' attack resulted in the deaths of countless villagers and hundreds of Konoha ninja."

"Your good teammate, your good partner, forcibly extracted the Nine-Tails from Kushina's belly, ignoring her pregnant body, and controlled the Nine-Tails to deliver a head-on blow to Konoha."

"The vast majority of those middle-aged Konoha ninja behind you are orphans left over from that battle."

"Because their parents were ninjas."

"Minato Namikaze, who had become a Kage, died for Kushina Uzumaki in order to seal the Nine-Tails."

"Later, Obito wiped out the Uchiha clan, regardless of gender, age, or whether they were ninjas or civilians."

"The Hidden Mist of Blood Mist, the Hidden Rain Village that only knows how to kill, the conflicts between villages, the turmoil of the entire ninja world—so many of these stem from the familiar yet unfamiliar people in front of you."

"That's enough! That's enough!"

Obito, furious, tried to interrupt Uchiha U, but Nohara Rin blocked his way, saying, "Let him continue!"

Obito gritted his teeth, "Rin, let me explain."

"I said that!"

"Let him have it!"

"Keep talking!"

Uchiha Yu chuckled, "Alright, I'll continue then~"
