Naruto Immersive Replay, The Curse of the Sharingan

As Obito ran, Kakashi's image flashed through his mind: Kakashi, you promised me that you would... you would do everything in your power to protect Rin!

"I'll be there right away!"

On the way, Obito's Sharingan sensed that Rin might encounter some misfortune.

"What's wrong? Don't overthink it!" Obito reassured himself.

"Almost there! Almost there!"

But when Obito arrived, he saw Kakashi use the Lightning Blade to pierce Rin's heart.

“Kakashi…” Nohara Rin’s eyes filled with tears.

A tear rolled down Kakashi's Sharingan as he realized he had killed his comrade with his own hands.

Rin coughed up a mouthful of blood. Kakashi tried to grab her, but his hands trembled and he eventually lost his strength.

With an empty heart, Lin closed her eyes and fell backward.

Rain began to fall on the battlefield at that moment, and Lin fell to the ground, splashing a few drops of mud.

"No...this shouldn't be happening..."

The silver-haired boy knelt in a pool of blood, muttering to himself. He clearly saw strange runes flash across Rin's palm, clearly sensed the intervention of a third party's chakra... why did it still end in the worst possible way?

"Damn it! He succeeded!" said a ninja from Kirigakure.

"We finally managed to get our hands on it..."

Obito knelt down on the spot, and the white Zetsu attached to his face suddenly opened up and began to spin continuously.

Kakashi and Obito awakened their Mangekyou Sharingan with their three-tomoe Sharingan at almost the same time.

The red and black kaleidoscope pattern spun rapidly. Kakashi lay unconscious on the ground, vaguely hearing someone whisper, "Sorry, to save her... we have to let her 'die' once first."

A white swirling mask appeared on Obito's face. "Where...where...is this place?!"

His anger burned fiercely; he clenched his fists and roared, unwilling to accept the fact that his best friend Kakashi had killed Rin.

A piece of dead wood sprouted from the ground, and the interstitial cells burst forth.

"Who goes there! Reinforcements?" The Hidden Mist Village ninja didn't care about Obito, since he was alone.

A ninja threw a shuriken, only to find it pierced through, while Obito remained standing there.

"What's going on?!" The ninjas exclaimed in surprise and retreated.

"I won't admit to this!" Obito roared, raising his head as he charged towards the ninjas.

The Hidden Mist Village ninjas tried to retaliate but found themselves no match for them; countless dead trees sprouted from the ground and pierced their bodies.

Blood stained their masks, and their sneak attacks on Obito were all pierced through by the Hollowfication.

"What on earth happened to him?!" Only then did the ninjas realize the gravity of the situation. "At least we have to take that woman's body away!"

"We must never let the enemy take our bodies!"

Obito ran through the crowd toward Rin's location, while the power of his Wood Release turned the area into ruins.

Blood gushed from where his eyes were, and Obito looked like a demon descended to earth.

Everyone retreated in fear, no longer caring about Lin's corpse.

However, it was too late. Wood Release enveloped the area, the moon gradually turned red, and the rain grew heavier.

"I understand, I... am in hell."

The mask fell off, tears mingled with rain, and Obito looked at Rin, utterly despairing of the world.

He reached out and touched Lin, pulling her tightly into his arms.

This world is so pathetic; it has long since ceased to exist.

This is the scene that appeared when you and Black Zetsu arrived.

"Oh, Bito."

Under the influence of the genjutsu, Obito Uchiha lowered his head.

Black Zetsu was about to carry Obito back when he said, "Nagi, you clean this place up. I'll take him with me first."

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and large raindrops poured down, hitting the ground and splashing up water.

You walk up to Nohara Rin's side and can't help but sigh, "How pitiful, to die in the prime of her life."

On the wet stone pavement, rainwater slid down the brim of a hat and dripped onto the muddy ground beneath one's feet.

A strong wind suddenly blew off your cloak and hood, and rain instantly soaked your black hair, which clung tightly to your cheeks. Standing outside the Akatsuki gate, you looked like a statue in the rain.

A moment later, you raised your hand and gently knocked on the door, the sound of the heavy rain almost completely drowning out the faint knocking.

The door slowly opened, and Xiao Nan appeared in the doorway.

You and she gaze at each other silently, a thousand words meeting in that single glance, yet drowned out by the raging wind and rain, leaving you speechless for a moment.

Slowly unfastening your cloak, you reveal Nohara Rin on your back.

Lin's face was pale, and her breathing was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.

You have been using your chakra to keep Rin alive, allowing her to stay on the edge even in such dire circumstances.

The commotion outside alerted Yahiko and Nagato, who rushed over.

The two of them were stunned when they saw you, their eyes filled with surprise.

"Save her, and don't let anyone know she exists until I give my permission."

Konan, supporting Nohara Rin, gazed in the direction you left, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Three days passed, and Obito neither ate nor drank, falling into a state of utter stillness.

He stared blankly at a certain spot, as if Lin's death had drained all the life from his soul.

You carry the prepared food and slowly approach him, trying to break the suffocating silence. "Pain will always remain, but life must go on, right?"

Obito, however, seemed to have his most sensitive nerve touched. He turned around instantly, knocked the food out of your hands, stepped forward, grabbed your collar tightly, and roared angrily.

"You don't understand anything! What gives you the right to talk to me about pain!"

You were taken aback by his sudden action. Your well-intentioned advice was met with this kind of treatment, and your anger flared up instantly.

"It must have been painful to witness your best friend kill the person you love, right? All of this was caused by your cowardice back then!"

You have an arrogant look, a lazy expression, and a cold look in your eyes. Your whole being exudes gloom. Perhaps this is just your true self.

"What did you say!" Obito's voice was filled with danger, and his eyes became even more ferocious.

“You’re such a coward!” you said coldly, staring at him without flinching.

Upon hearing this, Obito attacked immediately without the slightest hesitation.

You quickly retaliated, and you were instantly engaged in a fierce battle.

Obito's taijutsu was once slightly inferior to yours, but now that he has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, his strength has greatly increased, and he can now rival you in taijutsu.

At first, you just wanted to let Obito vent his frustrations and spar with him.

But Obito seemed to have gone mad, each move deadly, every attack imbued with all the anger and pain in his heart.

He also ignited your fighting spirit, and your attacks became more and more ruthless. Your punches whistled and your legs clashed. The two of you moved quickly through the cave, each collision accompanied by a dull thud.

Obito knew that a direct confrontation would be difficult to defeat you, so he narrowed his eyes and activated the ability of his Mangekyou Sharingan. His body instantly became intangible, and he dodged your attack at an extremely fast speed.

And then it quickly appears behind you, delivering a powerful punch that sends you flying.

Your body slammed heavily against the cave wall, sending rocks tumbling down. You slowly got up, blood gushing from the corner of your mouth. Your internal organs felt as if they were being burned by fire, and the pain was unbearable.

You covered your face with your blood-stained hands and subconsciously licked your own blood. "Ouch!"

The madness in his eyes was chilling; the pain had ignited his hidden madness, and he charged at Obito once more.

You two grappled together again, the fight becoming even more brutal. Your bodies were covered in wounds, your clothes stained with blood, but neither of you showed any sign of stopping, as if only in this way could you vent your inner pain and anger.

As time went on, Obito's stamina gradually gave out, his movements became sluggish, and his attacks lost their previous sharpness.

Finally, after a fierce battle, Obito could no longer hold on, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.

You stand there, looking at Obito lying on the ground, and first burst into laughter, your laughter filled with mockery and catharsis.

Gradually, the laughter stopped, and your eyes regained a sliver of clarity, though still carrying a hint of provocation. You slowly walked to Obito's side, "So you're nothing special, Obito."

When Ban saw you, he saw your body swaying precariously, covered in blood, with a few strands of hair sticking messily to your pale, paper-white face.

"what happened?"

You stubbornly waved your hand, your body unsteady, but your eyes still revealed the arrogance unique to the Uchiha clan, and said casually, "It's nothing, it's just that that guy seems to have gone mad!"

Madara's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly guessed that the 'that guy' you mentioned was most likely Uchiha Obito. He was burning with anger and was about to stand up for you.

Just then, Obito's figure slowly appeared.

He was also covered in blood and his steps were unsteady, as if he had just gone through an extremely fierce battle.

Ban's expression froze. The harsh words that were about to come out suddenly got stuck in his throat. He stood quietly in place, no longer speaking, but his eyes swept back and forth between you with complicated emotions.

Obito lowered his head slightly, breaking the brief silence. His voice was tired and hoarse. "I fought with Nagi. I attacked first. It had nothing to do with her."

You scoffed at his words, "You defeated opponent, what makes you think you're so great?"

Ban watched you quietly. Even though he didn't know the specific cause and details of the matter, he could guess the general idea from these few words of conversation.

"You dare to attack a woman, and you can't even beat her!" Madara's eyes revealed undisguised dissatisfaction, his gaze piercing Obito like a tangible thorn.

Obito clenched his fist slightly, then slowly relaxed it. He didn't refute it because he knew Madara was telling the truth.

"It's alright, Obito's strength has improved by leaps and bounds!" You immediately defuse the awkward atmosphere when you see it's getting tense.

Obito looked at you with a complicated expression. It was clearly his fault, so why were you still speaking up for him?

You don't know what you said that displeased Ban, but he gave you a cold glance, and you immediately fell silent.

It seems I've upset Madara again, and it's all Obito's fault!

In the dimly lit room filled with the fragrance of herbs, Nohara Rin, after sleeping for a long time, finally slowly opened her eyes.

Consciousness struggled to climb back from the endless abyss of darkness, her eyes still filled with confusion and bewilderment.

When her gaze fell upon the unfamiliar face beside the bed, her brows furrowed slightly, and she parted her lips to ask in confusion, "Who are you?"

Konan sat quietly to the side, holding a bowl of steaming medicine. When she heard Lin's question, she gently placed the bowl on the low table beside the bed and answered in a soft but slightly cold voice, "I am Konan, and this is Amegakure."

"Rain Village?" Rin murmured to herself, her eyes filled with shock and confusion.

My thoughts raced back, and images from my memories flashed through my mind like shattered glass; the feeling of that cold blade piercing my body remained vivid.

She clearly remembered dying at Kakashi's hands; that moment of despair and pain felt like it happened just yesterday.

But now, the unfamiliar environment and unfamiliar people in front of her tell her that everything is beyond her original understanding.

Chapter 94 - Gradually Distant

"Why am I still alive? What's going on?" Lin kept asking Xiao Nan.

Thinking this, Lin subconsciously tried to get out of bed, but her body was like a puppet whose strength had been drained, too weak to obey her commands.

As soon as I propped myself up, my legs went weak and I almost fell to the ground.

Xiao Nan reacted quickly and reached out to support her, saying with a hint of reproach, "It wasn't easy to save your life, so don't wander around!"

Lin seemed not to hear her, gripping Konan's arm tightly with both hands, her eyes filled with anxiety and longing as she pleaded, "I want to go back to Konoha! My friends and family are there, I have to go back!"

Xiao Nan sighed softly, gently pushing Lin's hand away. A complex emotion flashed in her eyes as she whispered, "Your death has already been announced outside, and besides, I wasn't the one who saved you..."

Lin suddenly deflated when she remembered the mysterious curse mark on her palm.

Yes, so many bizarre things have happened, and it seems like there's nothing she can change. Thinking of this, her eyes dimmed.

Xiao Nan looked at Lin quietly, a pang of reluctance rising in her heart.

She noticed Lin's disappointment, hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out and took Lin's hand, gently comforting her, "It's okay, it's fine here too, it's only temporary, you'll be able to go back soon."

Lin looked up and gazed into Xiao Nan's sincere eyes. The warmth that shone in those eyes gently warmed her cold heart.

She pursed her lips slightly, forced a bitter smile, and softly hummed in agreement.

Seeing Lin's innocent smile, Xiao Nan suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
