At the Federation Hospital, after finishing her night shift, Nohara Rin slowly left, ready to head home.
She had recently moved out of Kushina's house, renting a nearby apartment since there were no official Federation housing options for her. Her medical ninjutsu was exceptional—within the Sand Federation, only Hyuga Mirai and Ayaka Uzumaki rivaled her skills. Her monthly income was substantial, around seven to eight hundred thousand ryo, with bonuses several times her salary when busy.
"So late? Is the hospital in the Federation that busy?"
Kakashi Hatake emerged from a corner of the hospital. After finishing his day of training, he came to wait for Rin, surprised she was later than him.
Rin replied with a sigh, "After the war in the Land of Water, many wounded needed care. Though there are medical machines, medical ninjas are still necessary."
Kakashi shook his head. "It's late; I wonder how many shops are still open."
"Don't worry, many restaurants in the Federation stay open past midnight," Rin said with a smile, knowing Kakashi wanted to invite her for dinner. "Especially a ramen shop—it might even be better than Ichiraku Ramen."
"You haven't had Ichiraku Ramen in a long time. Do you remember the taste?"
Rin laughed. "I'll try it when I have time. Today, you tell me which ramen is best."
From a tall building in the distance, Obito Uchiha used his Sharingan to stare fixedly at what was happening at the small door of the Federal Hospital. After watching for a while, he could confirm: this was Nohara Rin.
"Indeed, it's Rin."
Obito Uchiha suddenly felt that his actions over the past few years were like those of a fool. Starting from holding the fake Rin and crying bitterly, to later persuading Nagato to establish the Akatsuki organization, the Nine-Tails incident, the Uchiha clan extermination plan... Now, thinking carefully, for every step of his plan, the one who gained the most was always Hyuga Mirai. He was like a puppet manipulated in the open, always planning the most, but the final beneficiary was Hyuga Mirai. Starting from when Nohara Rin was rescued!
Upon seeing the real Rin, blood vessels filled around Obito Uchiha's Sharingan. He felt that this world was false. Rin should not be alive now. This war-torn ninja world should not let Rin suffer again. Until he used this Jigen, obtained divine power, and transformed this twisted, war-torn ninja world into a beautiful one—then would be the time for Rin's revival. In this unmodified ninja world, the revived, or rather, the Rin who never died, was not the real Rin.
The space around Obito Uchiha distorted, and he directly entered the Kamui dimension.
Below, Kakashi suddenly felt something was wrong. He directly reached out and placed his hand on Nohara Rin, then looked around.
Above!
Kakashi suddenly looked up, sensing the gaze that had been fixed on him. When he looked upward, he spotted a figure standing on the street lamp. That person wore a white robe with red clouds, and under the mask, a dark red glow.
"This is... Sharingan, and that clothing. Obito, is it you!?"
Kakashi shouted. Although the street lamp was somewhat glaring, he still recognized Obito Uchiha's identity at first glance. That was the same person who attacked him and stole the Sharingan, and later he knew that was Obito's doing.
Kakashi frowned and spoke. "Obito, what are you doing now? Come back quickly. I will plead for mercy from the Hokage-sama."
"Obito, don't continue down the wrong path. Come back now, you still have a chance for pardon."
Pardon? Everything he did was to change this ninja world, change this war-torn world, let all people fall into a beautiful dream. What wrong had he done!? They were wrong; their falseness was the real wrong!
Obito Uchiha did not say a word. From the moment he appeared on the street lamp, he did not utter a single word. No matter how Kakashi and Nohara Rin tried to persuade him, Obito remained silent. What he was doing was correct; those who could not see reality were them!
"Rin, step back a bit..."
Kakashi sensed something was wrong. In his heart, he did not believe Obito would attack Rin, but now this situation was clearly not right. Was the person in front not Obito?
"Obito, don't cause more trouble, and don't come back anymore."
Nohara Rin originally wanted to persuade Obito, but before she could finish, Obito Uchiha instantly charged at her.
"Rin, be careful!"
Kakashi took out a kunai and instantly blocked in front of Nohara Rin. That guy with the Sharingan and mask was full of malice. Regardless of whether he was Obito Uchiha or not, Kakashi could not let him harm Nohara Rin.
After Obito closed in, Kakashi's pupils contracted, directly using two kunai to fiercely attack Obito Uchiha's two vital points. Both their intentions were very clear, and their attack speed was very fast. However, Kakashi's attack, upon nearing Obito Uchiha's body, directly passed through. His whole body also lost balance and lunged forward, passing through Obito.
'Is that not solid? An illusory image?'
Kakashi just thought that in his heart when he was kicked in the back. His whole body was as if heavily smashed by a hammer, instantly kicked flying and crashed into the wall nearby, collapsing a room and burying Kakashi under the falling rubble.
"Kakashi!"
Nohara Rin worriedly shouted loudly. Her shout immediately alerted the ninja in the Federal Hospital. The surrounding environment was extremely quiet, and it was late at night. Nohara Rin's voice was enough to be heard clearly by people within hundreds of meters.
Obito Uchiha noticed that people from afar were rushing over. He directly sucked Nohara Rin into the Kamui dimension, then himself also left through Kamui.
"Rin!"
The moment Obito disappeared, Kakashi pushed away the rubble on him, stood up, and shouted loudly. But Nohara Rin had already been taken away by Obito Uchiha. When the medical ninja and security team of the Federal Hospital arrived, only Kakashi was left.
"You are... Konoha's Hatake-san. What just happened? Are there enemies?"
The security team member saw Kakashi and quickly asked. The scene clearly had signs of a fight, but only Kakashi was there.
"Don't panic. Everyone, go back to handle your own matters. Security team, find someone tomorrow to repair that place. As for Kakashi, go back and rest."
Hyuga Mirai suddenly walked out from the Yomotsu Hirasaka, giving orders to everyone. The security team and Federal Hospital medical ninja saw Hyuga Mirai, quickly saluted, and responded, "Understood, Mirai-sama." Then, they each returned to their posts, while the security team went to find the construction repair team to fix the walls and house.
"Mirai-sama, Rin was captured."
Kakashi endured the pain in his back, somewhat anxiously coming to Hyuga Mirai and said. He did not know what Obito Uchiha would do to Rin. He had only recently learned the news that his friend was alive, and he did not want to hear news of Rin in trouble again.
"I know. Nohara Rin also knew there would be such a day. Otherwise, why do you think she tried to persuade Obito Uchiha not to come back? If you think the injury on your body will affect tomorrow's government affairs internship, then go to the Federal Hospital for a check."
After Hyuga Mirai finished speaking, a space channel appeared in front of him, and he stepped into it. If using Nohara Rin as bait, dealing with double Kamui Obito Uchiha would be somewhat troublesome.
"Obito."
Nohara Rin was sucked into the Kamui dimension. She saw Obito Uchiha appear for a moment, but before she could speak, he disappeared again. This made Nohara Rin unable to talk with Obito. But after a while, a space channel opened beside Nohara Rin. The next second, she saw Hyuga Mirai walk out from the pitch-black space channel.
"So this is the Kamui dimension. I have to say, the variant abilities derived from the God Tree are truly amazing."
Hyuga Mirai used the Byakugan ability to see dozens of kilometers away. Here, although there were no sun, moon, or stars, there was air for breathing, just like real space, and it consumed less chakra. Such a dojutsu placed on Obito Uchiha was a waste.
"Mirai-san, please—"
"From now on, you don't need to worry about it."
Nohara Rin's words were not finished when Hyuga Mirai interrupted. Then he grabbed her shoulder and threw her into the Space.
"Next, use Amenominaka to cover the Kamui dimension. But covering half is enough, to prevent him from escaping the Kamui dimension."
After Hyuga Mirai decided, the four-tomoe Rinnegan on his forehead slightly rotated. Then, with his feet as the center, large areas of space transformed into the Super Gravity Space, until covering nearly half the space before stopping. He often used gravity for training and was already somewhat accustomed to super gravity. However, if Obito Uchiha came in, he would definitely drop on the ground.
"Hmm, something happened to the Kamui dimension?"
Obito Uchiha suddenly felt a strange movement in his Sharingan. After switching to the Mangekyo Sharingan, he seemed to find that using the Kamui dojutsu became difficult, whether for intangibility or distortion, etc.
"It couldn't be Rin... Let's go in and see."
Then Obito Uchiha used Kamui with both eyes simultaneously, consuming a lot of chakra, finally connecting to the Kamui dimension with dojutsu. Spatial distortion appeared around his whole body, and after a while, he disappeared from the ninja world.
Boom!
However, Obito Uchiha had just arrived in the Kamui dimension when he was pressed to the ground by super strong gravity, making his whole body unable to move, even breathing somewhat difficult.
"Ah, finally waited for him, Obito Uchiha."
Pfft pfft pfft!
Hyuga Mirai originally wanted to activate the curse mark on Obito Uchiha's heart, but he found it ineffective, so he used seven Truth-Seeking Balls transformed into black rods, piercing into Obito Uchiha's limbs. The power of all creation in the Truth-Seeking Balls instantly made Obito Uchiha lose the ability to resist, his body completely unable to move.
"Your dream is over, Obito."
