Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 63 Nanao succeeds

No further explanation was needed; the six words "enough to control the tailed beasts" were enough for Rin to clearly understand the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

After all, she chose to die at Obito's hands because she was worried that the tailed beasts mentioned by Kirigakure would enter Konoha's camp.

"The Sharingan is the eye that reflects the mind. The Mangekyou Sharingan's abilities are related to Obito's thoughts at the time. You know best what he was thinking back then."

Lin murmured, "Escape..."

Obito's first thought was definitely to run away. He didn't want to believe she was dead, he didn't want to believe he had killed her, and that's when the ability that arose...

Hinata Yu provided the answer: "It's a space-time type of eye technique. You've seen the Flying Thunder God Technique, so you should know how powerful it is."

"Obito hasn't done anything yet, but since he's already attacked Kakashi, he might very well attack Konoha in the future."

"Obito wouldn't... he wouldn't."

Lin kept repeating that she wouldn't, her face pale, but in her heart she had already agreed with Hinata Yu's words.

After this incident, Obito may no longer be the naive boy who once shouted that he wanted to become Hokage, but a... avenger who wants to destroy everything.

It was her fault; she made Obito suffer all of this.

Rin stared at Hinata Yu and said with a wry smile:

"Am I being too selfish, only thinking about my own relief?"

Asking me is pointless.

Hinata Yu shook his head. "What you want isn't comfort or advice; you just want to solidify your own thoughts. I haven't set up any guards here, and no one is stopping you. If you wanted to leave, you could have left before I arrived. From the moment you stayed, you've already made your plans."

"..."

Lin fell silent.

Why stay?

Hinata Yu in front of me clearly has secrets that Konoha doesn't know. Why is she staying?

Because of Hyuga Yu's strength?

No, that's not right. From the moment she stepped onto the battlefield, she was prepared to die. She was not afraid of death.

The reason she stayed was because after she obtained Obito's memories, she discovered some problems within them.

The Hidden Mist Village captured her and implanted a Tailed Beast into her body, intending to let the Tailed Beast rampage through the Leaf Village camp.

Obito, who was supposed to have been dead for half a year, appeared and saved her. Then, in order to avoid going to the Konoha camp, she died at Obito's hands.

In this series of events, she and Obito are at the core.

Their actions seem reasonable and their behavior comes from their own hearts, but in reality, they are destined to be in a situation beyond their control.

If we add the second life that Hyuga Yu gave her, after calmly thinking it over, she always felt that this was a scheme aimed at Obito.

Among them, the only person in Konoha who knew the truth was Hyuga Yu, but he didn't seem to be the mastermind behind Obito's scheme; he just made some arrangements based on it.

Who is the mastermind behind this, and what is their purpose?

Does anyone else in Konoha know anything about this mastermind?

What is Hinata Yu's attitude and stance on this matter?

After some thought, she decided to stay.

Because currently, only Hyuga Yu in Konoha may know the whole story, if they want to understand Obito's situation, they must contact him.

This whole thing started because of her, and she has no right to run away from it.

and……

"The Seven-Tails incident makes it impossible for me to return as a Konoha ninja and as Rin Nohara."

Lin sighed. "I heard Kushina say before that the Seven-Tails was a tailed beast assigned to Takigakure by the First Hokage, and that village is an ally of Konoha. If they knew that I had a tailed beast implanted in Kirigakure before, they would probably cause trouble for the teacher again."

Both the Three-Tails and Six-Tails of Kirigakure were on the battlefield, and the tailed beast implanted in her was stolen from Takigakure by Kirigakure at some unknown time.

However, it's unclear where the operation went wrong, but the Mist Ninja who initially implanted the Tailed Beast into her was killed by the Tailed Beast's power that suddenly went berserk.

After that, due to the influence of the cursed seal on her body, she headed towards the Konoha camp, where she was pursued by Kirigakure ninja and encountered Obito again...

Looking back now, was the runaway power of the tailed beasts really a mistake?

There's a lingering sense that I'm using her to silence her and deliberately letting her escape...

Lin, noticing something amiss, sighed, "Showing up alive will only bring all sorts of trouble. In that case, it's better to hide and find out the truth behind the scenes."

As she spoke, she looked up at Hinata Yu with unwavering determination, "Besides, whatever your purpose is, Yu-senpai, you saved me, and I cannot bring you any risk."

"Nohara Rin, a ninja of Konoha, has died for the village. From now on, I want to act according to my own will."

"I apologize to Obito and thank you."

She's already died for the village once, so let her be willful this time...

Hinata Yu smiled slightly. "Not bad eye, but as I said before, this is just an experiment, so there's no need for you to thank me."

"After your memories returned, you must have been thinking a lot and not paying attention to anything else. I inscribed two spells on your dead split body, one of which has already yielded results."

Under Lin's questioning gaze, Hinata Yu reached out and placed his hand on her forehead, and she instantly felt a sinking sensation in her consciousness.

When Lin regained consciousness, she found herself in what seemed to be a dark underground space, with Hinata Yu's figure beside her.

"Senior Yu...where is this?"

Hyuga Yu didn't answer, but instead asked with a smile, "Rin, what are Tailed Beasts?"

As a student of the Fourth Hokage and with his wife being a Jinchūriki, Rin was aware of this and replied, "A collection of chakra."

"Then what are their souls?"

"soul?"

The fact that Hyuga asked a question she had never thought about before made Rin pause slightly.

What is the soul of a tailed beast?

No, we should first think about what the soul itself is.

Lin, who had no prior knowledge of this subject, fell into deep thought.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Hyuga Yu didn't mind, and simply led her forward, saying as they walked:

"One of the spells I inscribed is one that can transfer souls, but it won't work on you. If either of your previous bodies dies, your soul will return to the living body as if it were a shadow clone transmitting its memories."

This is the effect of the splitting technique itself.

"But if there is another soul inside your body, the spell I set up will transfer it along with your soul."

Upon hearing this, Lin followed Hinata Yu's gaze and looked ahead, her expression changing.

Could it be that……

"The soul of the Tailed Beasts... is themselves!"

Hinata Yu looked at the enormous creature flying in the dark space and smiled slightly.

That was none other than—Nanao Jōmei!

The soul is chakra, and the tailed beasts are aggregates of chakra.

There's also the matter of Minato using the Reaper Death Seal to seal the Nine-Tails.

Both of these prove one point: the souls of the Tailed Beasts are themselves!

"Rin, if you want to thank me, please help me with the tailed beast transfer later."

Lin stared blankly at Nanami, then looked at Hinata Yu, and suddenly felt a little amused.

She initially thought that the other party saved her perhaps because of Obito.

After all, through the conversation just now, she learned that the mastermind's goal was to awaken Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan!

Her value lies in her ability to restrict Obito's behavior and even make him work for Hyuga Yu.

She was already prepared.

But now it seems that the other party doesn't need these at all.

Tailed beasts... strategic weapons of various ninja villages, and Hyuga Yu actually obtained them in such a quiet way.

She died in front of Kakashi, and in the future, everyone will believe that the Seven-Tails disappeared with her death.

As long as she doesn't appear in public, no one will ever know that the Seven-Tails is in Hyuga Yu's hands!
