In Konoha, Naruto lies down

Uchiha Obito, who was casting a spell, ignored Naruto's sarcasm and had no intention of checking for any abnormalities in his body. All he was thinking about was Rin.

He knew very well that even if he resurrected Rin, he would not die so quickly. Obito had gathered a large number of White Zetsu, naturally in order to snatch the Samsara Eye and prevent Naruto from doing anything bad.

Nohara Rin's figure gradually became more real, her agile body looming. Uchiha Obito's life force was getting weaker and weaker, like a patient who was rapidly aging.

Naruto looked up with squinted eyes at Nohara Rin floating in the night sky, and sighed in his heart, Obito, your goddess is glowing green, it's so fucking magical.

He stood there, arms folded, waiting, without moving a muscle. Xiaonan was hanging in the sky ten miles away, its giant paper wings flapping slowly.

Facing the White Zetsu hiding in the darkness all over the mountains, Xiaonan was powerless. She couldn't kill so many White Zetsu quietly, so she could only wait for the opportunity to act.

As a result, everyone's eyes were focused on Nohara Lin who was floating in the air. The faint green light flickered like a firefly in the dark night.

In Konoha, the Hokage Building is brightly lit.

The Sixth Hokage Kakashi was lying in a chair by the window, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window at the night scene. Lights were flowing within his sight, and the village had entered the second level of alert.

The Anbu were all in place, deployed outside the key protection target area. But for some reason, I always felt a little uneasy, and the night outside the window seemed a little long.

dong dong dong.

There was an unexpected knock on the door, bringing Kakashi back to his senses. He called out, "Come in!" and Shikamaru walked in, clutching a pile of documents.

"Teacher Kakashi, since you are free now, let's deal with the documents at the same time." Shikamaru put the documents down with a bang and said with a pair of dead fish eyes.

Hearing this, Kakashi's mentality was even more indifferent than his, and he directly refused.

"The village is now on level two alert. As the Hokage, I naturally have to be alert. How can I be distracted at such a critical moment? Take it away!"

He looked like he was driving someone away, nauseous as he looked at the pile of documents. What kind of hell was this? It was bad enough that he had to work overtime in the middle of the night, but he also had to work properly?

Now Kakashi finally understood why the Third Hokage looked so old. Even two people couldn't handle such an intense workload, let alone forcing it on one person.

"These documents will only double if we delay until tomorrow, Kakashi-sensei, there's no escaping that," Shikamaru said.

"Then just help me deal with it directly. If you are unsure, leave it to me." Kakashi looked distressed. "Is Uzuki Yugao back?"

"No." Shikamaru shook his head, feeling overwhelmed looking at the pile of documents.

The authority of the Hokage may seem tempting, but it's just a name. Even if Kakashi authorized Shikamaru to handle the documents, Shikamaru could only do the screening work.

The people under him handed in documents all at once, and there were a lot of things, big and small, which made Kakashi overwhelmed. So the task of screening naturally fell on his assistant.

Shikamaru found a seat and sat down, then began to work on the documents. The office fell silent again, with only the rustling of pages turning.

Kakashi still lay in his chair, his eyes unfocused as he stared out the window at the night, but his heart was not at peace. The uneasiness grew stronger as time went by, as if something was about to happen.

Moreover, his intuition told him that this matter was closely related to him. So Kakashi simply squinted his eyes and began to recall various people and events related to him.

During this time, Shikamaru kept looking down at the documents, occasionally looking up in Kakashi's direction. He rolled his eyes when he saw the Sixth Hokage, who didn't want to go to work, was in a daze.

The sixth generation is indeed the direct descendant of the fifth generation. Even his appearance of being forced to work and acting like a slacker is exactly the same.

Actually, he didn't want to go to work either. But now he was sitting in the Hokage's office, working overtime as the Hokage's assistant. What was his goal, the Hokage?

Whose dream is this?

I seem to have heard some idiot say before that his dream was to become Hokage, but after one day he never said it again and just idled around all day.

Had he already compromised? What good was it to be Hokage? Being so busy, was it just to please the elders? What was the point of living like this?

Shikamaru clutched the pen, the handwriting on the paper almost blurred, and his mood became increasingly irritable. Just when he was about to collapse, he suddenly heard Kakashi's voice.

"Um... Shikamaru."

"What's wrong? Teacher Kakashi." Shikamaru suddenly came back to his senses, his spirit was shocked, and all the negative emotions disappeared instantly.

"Has anyone looked for me recently?" He touched his face and asked awkwardly.

Shikamaru had just come to his senses and didn't notice the strange expression on Kakashi's face. He thought for a moment and then answered.

"No."

"I see." Kakashi touched his chin, frowning, "What has Naruto been doing lately? Has he mentioned me?"

The only people Kakashi could think of who were related to him were those two evil disciples, one of whom had defected, and the other who was a source of worry. He wasn't afraid of Sasuke coming to him, but he was afraid of Naruto mentioning him.

This guy really deserves to die. He cheated the teacher without blinking an eye.

"Naruto, I've been busy with work lately and haven't had much to eat with him." Shikamaru also frowned, "I don't seem to remember him saying anything like that. You'll have to ask Choji about the rest."

"Forget it." He exhaled, "I always feel a little uneasy, I don't know what's wrong."

Shikamaru didn't respond. He couldn't express his opinion on such matters. In this office, he and Kakashi were superiors and subordinates.

When the leader is talking to himself, it's best not to follow him and talk nonsense. If you don't say anything, you won't make mistakes. If you say too much, you'll probably get into trouble.

At the border of the Land of Fire, Naruto looked at Nohara Rin, whose color gradually turned red, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Uchiha Obito was still dreaming, wondering if the person Nohara Rin saw when she opened her eyes was him?

Maybe he's still looking forward to the tearful reunion after a long separation? He's just dreaming about it. The person Nohara Lin will see when she wakes up should be Kakashi.

In her memory, Obito was forever frozen under the big rock. She just had a nightmare. In fact, she did not die at Kakashi's hands on her own initiative.

I've been asleep for a long time, and now I've finally woken up. Looking back, twenty years have passed in the ninja world. My former teammate Kakashi has become Hokage, inheriting Obito's dream.

As for Uchiha Obito, she will miss him. But the past is the past, let it stay in the past, Nohara Lin should pick herself up and start a new life.

A village that lives in Konoha, has familiar companions, and Kakashi.

The most important thing is that without Uchiha Obito, this name is dead and resurrection has nothing to do with him.

Let him vanish into thin air, as if these twenty years had never existed.

Chapter 478: Konan tastes the sweetness of revenge, and Obito collapses

Naruto didn't know what Uchiha Obito's back-up plan was, but he knew all too well what this person's intentions were. After a long separation, this long-awaited reunion must be something he was looking forward to.

Unfortunately, Naruto would never let him have his wish.

The resurrection ceremony was drawing to a close. Nohara Rin's body had adapted to her soul, and she looked to be in her twenties. She floated in the night sky, seemingly about to wake up.

"Did... did it succeed?" Uchiha Obito looked up at the night sky and muttered weakly to himself.

Looking at the increasingly real figure, it looked a little different from what I remembered, but I could instantly recognize it as Nohara Rin. The real Nohara Rin, guaranteed to be genuine.

At the same time, Obito suddenly felt a strong sense of malice and turned his head sharply. He immediately met a pair of vicious eyes. Naruto looked at him with a sneer on his face.

He had seen those sneers, all of them were extremely vicious people, those desperate rebels, or schizophrenic lunatics.

But I never thought I would see such an expression on the face of a ninja from Konoha with a bright future. It was even more cold and vicious than Danzo's, and he did not hide his overwhelming malice at all.

Instantly, a chill ran up his spine from his tailbone, and his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, this guy is going to cause trouble.

Or perhaps he had waited until now, ready to take action.

A wave of intense anger surged in Obito's heart. This man hadn't taken action earlier, so it turned out he was just waiting for this. This man was really not an easy person to deal with. Damn it.

"What do you want to do?" He stared at Naruto and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Is it almost over?" Naruto grinned and slowly walked towards Nohara Rin. "I'm not doing anything. Nohara Rin is a ninja of Konoha. Of course I'm taking her back."

"You are a traitorous ninja, why do you expect Nohara Rin to see you? Your existence is a mistake. Do you want Nohara Rin to be the same as you?"

"What does this have to do with you?" Obito staggered to his feet, and the mask on his face fell off, revealing his old and withered face.

The purple Samsara Eye looks like an onion, making people's scalps tingle.

"Of course it has something to do with me. I'm not a traitor like you. The will of fire is everlasting. You can't understand the passionate heart of a villager like me."

Naruto had a teasing smile on his face, and his eyes were fixed on Nohara Lin in mid-air.

"Nohara Rin was a ninja of Konoha. She was a Konoha ninja before her death and she will be a Konoha ghost after her death. No matter what, she shouldn't be with someone like you."

"You promised me!" Obito gritted his teeth. The resurrection ceremony had not yet been completely over, so he could only try his best to endure it, and the look he gave Naruto was extremely vicious.

The two of them hated each other so much that they wanted to skin each other alive. The only reason they stood together to revive Nohara Rin was because they each had their own agenda.

"What did I promise you?" Naruto asked with a smile, "Didn't I help you resurrect Nohara Rin? But I didn't say that I could let Nohara Rin see you."

"She belongs to the village, not to you."

"You're looking for death!" Uchiha Obito roared, and countless White Zetsu emerged from the forest.

White Zetsu was like a pool of white snow growing on the ground, spreading rapidly at an indescribable speed, like a substance attached to white bones, making people's scalp tingle.

When Naruto learned that there were a large number of White Zetsu here, he realized that Kabuto Yakushi was likely to have transformed into a dragon. The reason why there was no news about Uchiha Obito in the past few days was probably because he had contacted Kabuto Yakushi.

Every time Naruto thought about this, he always felt a strange feeling in his heart. Kabuto Yakushi was so arrogant, did he know that Orochimaru was still alive?

He suddenly thought of a joke, Orochimaru: I heard you told everyone that I was dead?

The roar of the White Zetsu brought him back to his senses. Looking at the White Zetsu scattered all over the mountain, Naruto didn't take it too seriously. Relying on the human wave tactic?

It might work for others, but it's clearly not enough for Uzumaki Naruto. To put it bluntly, White Zetsu is just a bunch of clones, no match for the immortal Impure World Army.

Snap, he snapped his fingers like Thanos.

Amidst White Zetsu's roar, the ground suddenly began to shake violently. Uchiha Obito, who was in the distance, was startled, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.

Could this be...?

Countless wooden knocking sounds rang out. Thousands of coffins rose from the forest floor, scattering the charging White Zetsu army.

The wooden coffins bounced up in the sea of ​​White Zetsu, lifting them up like a wave, surging and boiling. Knock, knock, knock, the coffins all opened.

The number of the Impure World Reincarnation army is not large. Compared with the tens of thousands of White Zetsu deployed by Uchiha Obito on the border of the Land of Fire, there are only about one or two thousand people.

Yet, the Impure World Reincarnation army showed no emotion, no hesitation. Two waves, one white and one gray, intertwined, their boundaries indistinguishable.

"Immortal Reincarnation? How could that be!" Uchiha Obito's breath was a little heavy.

He was no stranger to the Impure World Reincarnation ritual. As early as a few days ago, when he came into contact with that extreme madman Kabuto Yakushi, he had seen him use the Impure World Reincarnation Ninjutsu inherited from Orochimaru.

But it is not easy to complete this ninjutsu. First, you have to obtain the body fragments of the person to be reincarnated, and then you have to use sacrifices to successfully perform the reincarnation.

This was just one person's Impure World Reincarnation. If you were to do it with multiple people simultaneously, the difficulty would be even higher. Not to mention digging graves for skin fragments, the sacrifices themselves were quite exhausting.

Although White Zetsu can serve as a perfect sacrifice, it would consume a lot of chakra and energy to have four White Zetsu complete the sacrifice at the same time.

In any case, it couldn't be as simple as snapping his fingers like Naruto just did.

Damn it, this isn't simplification, this is cheating!

But in an instant, Uchiha Obito no longer cared about anything else. Because the resurrection ceremony of Nohara Rin was over, Nohara Rin's eyelids moved in the green cocoon of life energy, and it seemed that she would open her eyes in the next second.

This scene also attracted Naruto's attention. He no longer paid attention to the fighting White Zetsu army, but raised his head slightly and squinted his eyes to look at Nohara Rin.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

A white figure flashed across the night sky. Xiaonan spread the huge paper wings behind him and rushed forward in a flash.

In an instant, her body disintegrated, transforming into a sky full of white paper pieces. The paper pieces surrounded the green cocoon, instantly forming a larger white paper cocoon.

Naruto understood what he meant, and while Uchiha Obito's attention was attracted by the strange phenomenon created by Konan, at the moment Konan disintegrated, he used the Flying Thunder God Kunai that he had placed on Konan in advance to switch positions and fly high into the sky.

Before the paper wrapped itself into a cocoon, he opened the Four Symbols Seal and directly sucked Nohara Lin in. In the blink of an eye, he exchanged her with the Flying Thunder God Kunai.

From the outside, Naruto's figure flickered for a moment, as if the frame rate had dropped, but soon stabilized as if nothing had happened.

No one could tell that he had replaced the real person with the real one in an instant. The real Nohara Lin had been sucked into the sealed space, and only Konan was in the paper cocoon.

"Konan! Why aren't you dead?" Uchiha Obito stood up with his broken body. At this time, he was like a candle in the wind, with only a few breaths left in his body.

White Zetsu has been stopped and can't get through at all.

Uchiha Obito never expected that Naruto would be able to stop the White Zetsu army. Even if he wanted to make some preparations, he no longer had the chance.

Kabuto Yakushi gave him an army of 10,000 White Zetsu and promised that even if Hashirama Senju were alive, it would take him ten minutes to fight, which was enough to buy him time.

But who could have thought that things in this world are so unpredictable.

After the resurrection ceremony, Obito's physical and mental reactions became dull. He didn't notice Naruto's actions at all, like a madman at the mercy of others.

He shook his head vigorously, barely able to see the paper cocoon in front of him. The next second, the paper cocoon suddenly exploded, and Obito saw Konan throwing Nohara Rin to the ground like a doll.

"Rin!" Uchiha Obito's eyes were wide open and he stumbled towards the direction where Nohara Rin fell.

But his movements were too slow, his mind too dull. The last bit of life force remaining in his body wrapped around his roots, holding onto his last breath.

In the last moments of life, people's minds are in chaos and they act almost solely on obsession.

Even if Konan in the air was just a paper clone, even if Nohara Rin who was thrown to the ground was not Nohara Rin at all, but just Konan pretending to be her using transformation technique.

He couldn't tell the difference, he couldn't tell the difference at all.

Konan had died once, and no one understood Uchiha Obito's current condition better than her. It was precisely because of this that she could understand the viciousness of Naruto's plan.
