As Kakashi brought Rin Nohara's clothes to the office, Tobirama Senju said nothing more and took a group of people out of the Hokage building.
"Tobirama-sensei, where are you taking us?"
After walking a while into a remote area, the Third Hokage couldn't help but ask.
Tobirama pointed ahead to a small grove not far away and replied, "Not far, just ahead."
Indeed, it wasn't far. After about five more minutes of walking, the group entered the secluded grove.
Here, the young version of Danzo, who had left long ago, had already brought a death row inmate from the Konoha prison and waited here for several minutes.
"Second Hokage, why did you bring us here?"
Seeing Danzo with a prisoner, the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, frowned slightly but didn't say much. Instead, he turned to Tobirama and asked.
"I brought you here for a simple reason: I want to revive Rin Nohara."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked by this, except for Orochimaru, who had a knowing expression.
"So that's why you asked me to get her clothes?"
"Yes."
"No wonder Danzo brought a prisoner here. So, Tobirama-sensei, you want to use the Edo Tensei to revive Rin Nohara?"
"Exactly."
Tobirama nodded and, before anyone could say anything else, he clapped his hands and performed the Edo Tensei technique.
"Ah~~"
As the Edo Tensei began to take effect, the death row inmate screamed in pain for a few seconds before completely transforming into the material needed to bring Rin back to life, appearing before everyone.
"What is this?"
Rin Nohara opened her eyes, looking confused as she gazed at the group from Konoha led by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.
She was puzzled, remembering that she had clearly been killed by Kakashi and had fallen into darkness.
Why?
Why has she regained consciousness again?
"Rin, welcome back."
Kakashi took a few steps forward and extended his right hand toward Nohara Rin, his voice slightly trembling.
"Is that you... Kakashi?"
The people in front of Nohara Rin all looked strange to her, but this white-haired man with a mask gave her a strong sense of déjà vu.
Once she heard Kakashi's voice, she finally recognized him.
"That's right, it's me."
"Kakashi, how did you grow up so much? Did you eat something unsanitary?"
At this comment, everyone felt that this girl seemed a bit airheaded.
"That's a long story."
Kakashi wanted to talk more with Nohara Rin, but Tobirama was becoming impatient.
His time traveling was precious, and he couldn't waste it on unnecessary small talk.
"Let's not chat for now. Let me fully revive her first."
After saying that, Senju Tobirama took out the scroll containing Nohara Rin's clone.
He spread it out on the ground and was about to summon the clone when suddenly an unexpected event occurred.
"You bunch of bastards, how dare you desecrate Rin's soul! You all deserve to die!"
Not far from Konoha's group, Obito looked at the Edo Tensei version of Nohara Rin, his eyes filled with fury.
Their actions made him extremely angry.
Didn't he know that there were forbidden techniques and secret arts in the ninja world that could revive Nohara Rin?
Not to mention, Nagato's Rinnegan could use the Rebirth technique to truly bring someone back to life.
The resurrection through the Rinnegan is not something that can be compared to the inferior Edo Tensei.
So why didn't he arrange for Nagato to use the Rinnegan to revive Rin?
It's because he believes that this dirty, twisted world doesn't deserve Rin. He thinks it's better for her to stay in a pure land.
Once he creates a perfect, peaceful, and flawless world, he will naturally revive Rin.
He was still waiting for the Three-Tails to revive two years later; only then would the Akatsuki begin their mission to capture the Tailed Beasts, and he would officially start executing his plan.
He never expected that before he was ready, those Konoha idiots had already revived Rin.
And they did it using the Edo Tensei, a forbidden technique that cannot truly bring someone back to life.
This made him wish for everyone in front of him to die.
He thought this way and acted on it.
Tobi quickly formed hand seals with both hands, opened his mouth wide, and a thick, swirling flame erupted from his mouth.
It was the Fire Release: Storm Dance.
By using Kamui to distort the surrounding space, he created a swirling storm that not only increased the attack range of the technique but also amplified its flame power.
"Dodge!"
Facing the sudden fire attack, the Konoha team reacted quickly, dodging left and right to avoid the flames.
However, Rin stood there, not moving and still unsure of what was happening.
Of course, Tobi couldn't attack his goddess. Even though the current Rin was immortal, he wouldn't allow her to be harmed in any way.
Because the flames intentionally avoided Rin, the attack didn't follow a perfect trajectory, wasting some time and allowing the Konoha to evade.
Naturally, Tobi didn't expect a single fire technique to take down Tobirama and the others.
His goal was still Rin.
Since Rin had already been revived, he would absolutely not let her be taken by Konoha.
He wanted to take Rin and put her into the Kamui space.
Once his plan succeeded and he created a perfect world, he would release Rin again.
"Rin, come with me."
"Who are you?"
Just as Obito flashed in front of Rin and tried to use Kamui to pull her into the Kamui space, the Hokage faction who had already reacted wouldn't let him succeed.
He didn't use any powerful ninjutsu; just a simple kunai stopped Obito's plan.
Since he only had one Sharingan, Obito couldn't use Kamui to its full effect.
He needed some time to distort space to put Rin into the Kamui space.
During this time, he couldn't be interrupted by anyone.
If he was disturbed, he would have to start distorting the space all over again.
"Damn it."
Seeing his plan fail, the Hokage faction began to surround him.
Obito immediately reached out his right hand, grabbing Rin, wanting to escape.
"Obito, give up. You can't escape."
"Eh? You're Obito?"
Hearing Kakashi call the masked man in front of him Obito, Rin finally realized who he was and looked at him with confusion.
"Obito, didn't you die?"
Obito didn't want to bother with why Kakashi knew his identity anymore.
When he heard Rin's question, he stiffened, mechanically turning to look at her, trembling as he said, "Rin, this is complicated. We'll talk after we escape."
