Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 188 The Sixth Student, Nohara Rin (Please Subscribe)

Where eyes focus, life gathers.

The immense vitality disregarded the extent of Yuan Lin's physical damage, rapidly healing her wounds and allowing her shattered heart to regrow tissue until the wounds were completely healed.

After Nohara Rin's breathing calmed down, Uchiha Yoichi put away his Mangekyou Sharingan.

The consumption of eye power was really high, and repairing the shattered heart would be very troublesome. Moreover, Nohara Rin was in a state where she was almost on the verge of death, but in the end, she was saved by Uchiha Yoichi.

After a while, Nohara Rin slowly opened her eyes. Seeing the unfamiliar ceiling, she couldn't help but say, "Is this the Underworld? It seems I'm already dead. Kakashi, Minato-sensei, Mina-sensei, Yoichi-sama."

"You're not dead yet."

A voice suddenly came from the side, which immediately brought Nohara Rin back to her senses. Then she suddenly stood up and found herself in what seemed to be a secret room, but the secret room was very large and there were only a few electric lights around.

Nohara Rin turned her head to look in the direction from which the sound had come, her eyes widening as she murmured in disbelief, "Lord Yoichi?"

"It's me, Lin."

Uchiha Yoichi approached Nohara Rin with a cup of water and a soldier's ration pill, and said to her, "You've just been resurrected, and the tailed beast inside you disappeared because you were on the verge of death. Your body is still very weak, so eat this soldier's ration pill first."

Just now, Nohara Rin was almost stuck on the border between the underworld and the human world, but the Three-Tails inside her body had already been reborn before Nohara Rin.

It was probably around that time that Rin Nohara's body parts were practically dead, and the internal space sealing the Three-Tails had collapsed, which caused the Three-Tails to die and be reborn.

It's a bit of a pity, but it doesn't matter. As long as we know the location of the three tails, we can easily catch them.

Uchiha Yoichi had left behind a rather small amount of ocular power. For someone on the verge of death, the ocular power consumed is several times that used for healing.

Nohara Rin's thoughts were still somewhat dazed, but she passively accepted the water and soldier's rations, and after eating them, she soon felt her strength and chakra slowly recovering.

She then came to her senses and hurriedly asked, "Lord Yang, how did I get here? Kakashi and I were just being chased by Kirigakure, and I... I should..."

As she said this, Nohara Rin touched her chest. Her clothes were torn and covered in blood, indicating that she had indeed been stabbed. However, she had no wounds on her body, and Nohara Rin could even feel her smooth skin.

"What, what's going on?"

"I saved you. You were supposed to be dead, but I left you with the Kaleidoscope eye technique last time, which saved your life and allowed me to bring you back."

As Uchiha Yoichi began to explain, he casually placed his hand on the cursed seal on Nohara Rin's neck, allowing himself to resonate with the chakra will left within the seal and influence Nohara Rin as he spoke.

"Last time I had a premonition that you would die in the mission, so I tried to leave my eye power on you. I didn't expect it to actually save your life."

"Was it Lord Yang who saved me?"

Nohara Rin murmured, the feeling of being on the verge of death just now didn't seem fake, and Nohara Rin even remembered that she had come to a dark and empty place, and that if she walked a little further, she would be in the underworld.

But a light always connected her to the underworld, preventing her from crossing the boundary. Now it seems that light was none other than Lord Yang.

"Master Yang, this is..."

Uchiha Yoichi said, "This is where I refine medicine. It's underground at the edge of Konoha Village's barrier. Only I come here."

"I'm back in Konoha?"

Upon hearing this, Nohara Rin's face flashed with shock. She and Kakashi were clearly on the border of the Land of Fire, which was at least a day's journey from Konoha.

"Lord Nayang, what should I do now? I... I want to go back to the battlefield."

"How kind you are, Rin, but you can't go back now." Uchiha Yang said, "If you go back, you will still die. Kirigakure will continue to target you because your chakra is special and allows you to move freely after sealing the tailed beasts."

"Moreover, there are even deeper people behind Kirigakure who are targeting you. It's not even safe for you to show your face in Konoha. You'll be in danger of assassination every day."

Upon hearing this, Nohara Rin felt a pang of panic. She clung to Uchiha Yoichi as if he were her only lifeline, unwilling to let go, and asked, "Yoichi-sama, what should I do?"

Under the influence of the will within the Sage Chakra, Nohara Rin felt that Uchiha Yoichi's chakra was very approachable, and consequently, she also felt very approachable towards Uchiha Yoichi, willing to believe his words and be close to him.

"Stay here, Lin. If you're willing to believe me, stay here. You can't leave for at least a few years."

Uchiha Yang said, while gently stroking Nohara Rin's short brown hair, "Although it will be lonely staying here, I will come to see you often and can teach you a lot of ninjutsu."

"Are we going to stay here indefinitely?"

Even though Nohara Rin felt close to Uchiha Yoichi, she couldn't help but hesitate when she heard about this; spending several years in this dark underground space was indeed a difficult decision.

"Let's wait until my underground base is completed, that will be the dividing line."

Uchiha Yoichi saw Nohara Rin's dilemma. The will within Sage Chakra is not a hypnotic technique. If he were to forcefully hypnotize her, that would be fine, but in that case, it would be better to turn Nohara Rin into an idiot.

Besides, given time, Nohara Rin will gradually listen to him, so there's no need to rush.

"Come with me, look around."

"Yes, Mr. Yang."

Upon hearing Uchiha Yoichi's words, Nohara Rin instinctively stood up, but her legs were numb and she stumbled forward, only to be caught by Uchiha Yoichi.

"Thank you, Professor Yang."

Nohara Rin thanked him softly, feeling embarrassed, and then followed Uchiha Yoichi outside.

After leaving the secret room, Nohara Rin arrived at a much more spacious underground space. She then realized that the underground space was very large, and the floor above her head must have been tens of meters high, supported by tall trees.

There are only a few houses behind them; the rest is undeveloped area.

"This is my medicine-refining base. Once it's finished, you can leave," Uchiha Yang said. "If you leave now, those people in the shadows might hide, so I need you to fake your death for a while."

After hearing this, Nohara Rin remained silent for a moment, then raised her head, a determined look flashing across her sweet face, and said to Uchiha Yoichi, "I understand, Yoichi-sama, let's do as you say."

"Then, during your time here, you will be my disciple. I will teach you anything you wish to learn, even some forbidden techniques."

Uchiha Yoichi stroked Nohara Rin's short brown hair again and said with a smile, "After you finish your studies and leave, you might become Lady Rin of Konoha."

"No, no, it's not that exaggerated, Lord Yang."

Rin Nohara felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and then thought with a slight sense of shame, "Why does Yoichi love touching a girl's hair so much?"

Seeing that Nohara Rin had agreed, Uchiha Yoichi felt a little relieved, otherwise he would have used some tricks on Nohara Rin.

Now that Nohara Rin has agreed to stay, if they spend a year together, Nohara Rin will definitely become his obedient disciple.

Uchiha Yoichi then showed Nohara Rin how to make medicine, a method that was completely different from the traditional way of preparing antidotes, which greatly surprised Nohara Rin.

After watching for a while, Nohara Rin developed a little interest in alchemy. Uchiha Yoichi had no intention of keeping it to himself, but practicing in the ninja world was very difficult and required a lot of equipment.

During this time, Uchiha Yoichi went out for a while. He had someone deliver some things, including three meals a day and items that Nohara Rin needed. However, no one else knew about this except for the person he had instructed.

Even when he leaves, Uchiha Yoichi will leave behind a wooden clone, and Nohara Rin cannot leave the underground without his permission.

The ventilation ducts here are completely encased in Wood Release, and there is also a sealing technique at the entrance, so ordinary people can't get in at all.

"Obito, from today onwards, you are Uchiha Madara."

After saying this, Madara Uchiha, who had severed his connection with the Gedo Mazo, died. He had already taught Obito Uchiha Yin-Yang Release and Six Paths Techniques through genjutsu, and with his Mangekyou Sharingan, he was more than capable of assisting Nagato in collecting the Tailed Beasts.

After witnessing Madara Uchiha's death before his eyes, Obito fell silent for a while, until Black Zetsu and White Zetsu approached him and asked, "Obito, what do you plan to do now? Are you going to see Nagato? There's a flag left behind by Madara beside him."

"Uchiha Fugaku, right? I never expected that the clan head competition back then had such a boring inside story. This makes me have no good feelings towards the Uchiha clan. The previous clan head, Uchiha Fugaku, that loser."

After witnessing Rin Nohara's death, Obito Uchiha's mind became twisted. He now only wanted to end this world, complete the Eye of the Moon Plan, and create a world that truly had Rin.

"Madara died too quickly. I have one more question I haven't asked. As Madara's will, can you answer it for me?"

Obito Uchiha suddenly spoke, staring at Black Zetsu with his three-tomoe jade pendant and asking.

"What is it?"

Black Zetsu spoke slowly, but not knowing what Obito was going to ask, he said in advance, "I am merely Madara's will, not Madara himself. There are many questions I cannot answer, but what I do know, I will tell you without any concealment."

"After Rin was stabbed through the heart by Kakashi, her body suddenly disappeared. Why did that? Was anyone there who knew space-time ninjutsu at the time?"

This was a question that Obito had been pondering since earlier, but unfortunately Madara had been talking to himself the whole time, so he hadn't had a chance to ask.

"I don't know. I wasn't even born yet, so I can't answer that question."

Black Zetsu had been watching from a distance, but he didn't know why Nohara Rin had suddenly disappeared.

"We don't know either, but we do know for sure that Nohara Rin is dead."

White Zetsu spoke up, then thought for a moment before continuing, "If you feel that Nohara Rin is not dead, then wait a few years and go find the Three-Tails. If the Three-Tails is reborn, then the Jinchuriki will definitely die, without a doubt."

These words dealt a heavy blow to Obito's heart. If they found the Three-Tails, it would mean that Rin was dead, but where was Rin's body?

He didn't want Lin to be disturbed and wanted to place Lin's body in the Divine Might Space.

"Obito?"

"It's alright, let's go."

After regaining his senses, Obito said to Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, "Go and see the flag Madara left behind, and let this former clan leader play the role he should play."

White Zetsu chuckled and said, "I have a lot of footage I recorded in Konoha Village. Recently, the former clan leader seems to be taking good care of Nagato and the others. If he refuses to help you, these footage will be of help to you."

Rain Country Dawn Organization

Yahiko and Konan did not receive a satisfactory answer when they went to Konoha. The new Fourth Hokage did not want to support them anymore, citing a lack of funds within Konoha.

On this point, Hatake Sakumo was not lying. Although Uchiha Yoichi had retrieved the war reparations and mission assignments from the Kusagakure and Takigakure ninjas, those reparations were not even enough to restore the salaries of Konoha ninjas to pre-war levels.

It can only recover to about 70-80% at most.

With his own village's ninjas not being satisfied, how could Hatake Sakumo possibly support an organization from another country, especially one that could potentially trigger a war with Amegakure?

Having received no support from the Fourth Hokage, Yahiko and Konan went to find Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Out of respect for Jiraiya, Hiruzen Sarutobi did receive them, but when he heard that Yahiko had come to ask for money, he politely refused, saying that he had already handed over power to the Fourth Hokage, and if the Fourth Hokage refused, there was nothing he could do.

However, in the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi still gave Yahiko one million ryo, which was considered a private support out of consideration for his disciple Jiraiya.

Although they didn't get enough support, it wasn't a complete loss, so Yahiko wasn't particularly disappointed.

However, the Akatsuki organization then faced difficulties. With Konoha cutting off its support, the Akatsuki had no money or supplies and had to resort to taking on missions to earn rewards.

But doing so would invite Hanzo of the Rain Village to target them.

"That's the situation, and that's what we need now."

"Who?"

Nagato suddenly interrupted Yahiko, then stared directly at the doorway. In their secret base, two outsiders had suddenly appeared, dressed in rather strange attire.

Yahiko and Konan also became wary, but Fugaku Uchiha, upon seeing the White Zetsu, felt a slight jolt in his heart. Madara Uchiha had finally found them.

Yahiko shielded Konan and Nagato behind him, then asked, "Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to see us?"

"I am Uchiha Madara, and my purpose in coming here is to obtain your Rinnegan."

Obito Uchiha pointed at Nagato and said this. His action startled Yahiko and Konan, who then subconsciously looked at Fugaku Uchiha.

They had already concealed Nagato's Rinnegan, making it impossible for outsiders to detect, but this person immediately went after Nagato.

"We don't need to look at others. After Nagato obtained the Rinnegan, we've been keeping a close eye on him. He obtained the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, so naturally he bears a very important responsibility. Those eyes contain the power to pacify the chaotic world."

"I don't care who you are, but the fact that you use the name of Uchiha Madara proves that you're either stupid or evil."

Yahiko sneered and said to Obito Uchiha, "Although I don't know where you got the information about Nagato's Rinnegan, don't try to fool us with such stupid talk!"
