Naruto: From Fake to Real, Deceiving the Ninja World.

At the same time, he and Kakashi wanted to deny everything in front of them.

They couldn't accept the reality they were seeing and desperately wanted to change it.

Thus, the other Mangekyou Sharingan placed on Kakashi awakened the ability to distort space and forcibly suck external objects into the spacetime.

Obito Uchiha wanted to escape the painful reality, yet he also desperately longed to distort or even destroy this damned world.

"Divine Might" is the eye technique born from the combined influence of these two mindsets.

Therefore, if Rin Nohara's soul did not return to the Pure Land, nor did it linger in the "gap" between the Pure Land and reality, and she claims to have been watching Obito all along...

It's important to understand that the souls of the Pure Land cannot see the Ninja World, nor can they create "gaps." Only Minato and Kushina, who left a portion of their spiritual energy within Naruto's body, could.

So, where is Nohara Rin most likely watching Obito?

The answer is already obvious.

Swish!

A streamlined white figure leaped out from the depths of the vortex before Obito's eyes.

It gracefully spread out in mid-air, its purple wings unfurling behind it. Its toes barely touched the ground as it hovered in the air, and a few feathers drifted down from its wings, dissipating into specks of light in the air.

Inside the underground palace, everyone who witnessed this scene had their pupils contract violently.

Reflected in everyone's pupils, it was a white figure with a sleek silhouette and a distinctly female outline.

Her entire body was covered by a smooth, pale armor, with a cold, jade-like texture. Her eyes were closed, and her face below her eyes was covered by a bone mask.

Most strikingly, there was a bowl-sized, smooth-edged hole in the location of her heart, running from front to back, as if something had been forcibly ripped out.

“Wh…what…” Crimson tears of blood seeped from between Obito Uchiha’s fingers as he tightly covered his Mangekyou Sharingan.

He forced his eyes open, which were throbbing with pain, and saw the white figure reflected in his pupils.

Especially that hollow hole that runs through the heart.

That hole...

That location...

No, how could this be...

In an instant, countless memories stained with blood flooded his mind like a burst dam.

Boulder, cries, a thunderbolt piercing through the body, bloodstained hands, and that unfillable void...

That is……

"Lin..."

A broken, almost unrecognizable syllable escaped from Obito Uchiha's trembling mouth, as soft as a murmur.

Almost simultaneously, a chill originating from the depths of his soul instantly swept over Kakashi's entire body.

Are you kidding me?

Lin?

The "Great Hollow" born from devouring those souls, is it Rin?

“It seems you’ve recognized your old friend,” said the 'Shadow' standing atop the statue.

"No! Impossible!" Kakashi Hatake shook his head. "Rin is already dead, killed by me. How could this be..."

“Yes.” 'Kage' tilted his head slightly, looked at Obito who was trembling all over, and asked, “How could that be?”

"How could her soul be in your 'Divine Might' space?"

Obito Uchiha's body trembled violently. Without needing any further prompting from the 'Kage,' a chilling truth had already spread rapidly and clearly in his mind.

In that hellish moment, the instant he witnessed Rin being killed by Kakashi, when his Mangekyou Sharingan first opened and became uncontrollable...

The soul of Lin, who was closest to him, most deeply connected to him, and the source of all his pain.

Unconsciously, he became the first being sucked into his space-time continuum.

it's me……

Was it me who imprisoned Lin in the world I created to escape this cruel reality for more than a decade?

"No, no..." Obito opened his mouth but couldn't utter any words, only making meaningless gasps, his fingers digging into his chest, breathing extremely heavily.

"Shadow!" Kakashi roared furiously at the figure atop the stone statue, his eyes bloodshot. "What did you do to Rin?!"

“Heh…” 'Shadow' let out a soft laugh, “I find that you people are really… incomprehensible.”

"This was true when the Uchiha clan was massacred, and it is true now."

"Weren't those Uchiha clansmen killed by you? And that girl, wasn't she killed by you too?"

"Isn't all the suffering they've endured because of you?"

"Why are you blaming me now?"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's face turned pale, and Obito even coughed up blood.

Obito slowly raised his head, his crimson eyes fixed on the dark figure. His voice, forced out through clenched teeth, was a hoarse growl: "Kage!!"

As the surging negative spiritual energy was absorbed by the Hōgyoku, a smile appeared on 'Kage's' face, which was shrouded in shadow.

This is what it means to kill someone by destroying their spirit.

Chapter 362 The 'Healer' Who Doesn't Kill

“The birth of ‘emptiness’ is due to pain.”

Ignoring Kakashi Hatake and Obito's loss of composure, 'Kage' looked at the figure standing silently in the air and sighed, "But pain is not only caused by hatred."

"Speaking of which, this child is really kind."

"Even if my soul was imprisoned in a dark and sunless space for more than a decade, even if I witnessed you with my own eyes, especially all the killing and destruction you committed..."

"She harbors no hatred towards you, or towards this world that has caused her so much suffering."

"She's just worried, blaming herself, and in pain," 'Shadow' laughed. "Watching you all go further and further down the wrong path, and being unable to do anything about it."

Hearing his words, Obito was on the verge of a breakdown.

He couldn't believe that Lin had seen everything he did.

The more he hated Kakashi before, the more pain he was in now.

"So, although she told me she didn't want to hurt you, or anyone else..."

'Shadow' slowly raised her hand and pointed to the crowd below: "But I still agree to give her a chance."

"Give her a chance to stop you from making the same mistakes again, in her own way."

"Nine of the Ten Blades, the 'Healer' who does not kill."

The moment the words fell.

hum!

In the distance, a number "9" suddenly appeared on the left side of the white figure floating in the air.

At the same time, she gently clenched her hands in front of her, and a pure white scepter with a purple crystal inlaid at the top appeared out of thin air in her hands, which she then grasped.

"Rin?" Kakashi looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure holding the scepter, and a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart.

Seeing this, everyone except Jiraiya and a few others who knew the situation no longer hesitated.

"Wait!" Kakashi Hatake's expression changed drastically, and he shouted to stop him, but it was too late.

"Lan Dun Dun·Li Defeat Suo Yasu!"

Darui of the Hidden Clouds took the initiative, forming hand seals and unleashing several interwoven laser beams from his palms, accompanied by a piercing buzz, directly towards the 'Healer' in the air.

At the same time, several ninjas around also threw kunai and shuriken at the white figure like raindrops.

Just as the laser and ninja tools were about to hit the 'Healer', she simply tapped the shimmering white scepter in her hand into the void in front of her.

The air that was lightly touched was like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, and the ripples gradually spread out from the purple crystal at the top of the scepter!

The next moment, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

Those laser beams and sharp ninja tools, powerful enough to tear everything apart, turned into the purest specks of light and dust the moment they touched this ripple, vanishing into nothingness around her.

There was no explosion, no impact, not even a sound.

"what?"

The ninjas who made the move were all horrified, their faces filled with astonishment.

boom! boom! boom!

Almost simultaneously, four muffled, thunderous sounds, like giant hammers striking drums, suddenly erupted from different directions on the battlefield, causing everyone to turn their heads sharply!

Suddenly, a massive black shadow, as huge as a mountain, burst forth from behind the Two-Tails in its fully transformed tailed beast form, slamming a heavy punch into its back!

The image of "Enlightenment" was reflected in the shadows on the wall, from which emerged a massive black figure that tore through the air with its palm, sending the figure flying.

Behind Yagura, the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails, and Shinno, the Jinchūriki of the Zero-Tails, tall, dark figures silently emerged from the shadows, their heavy force striking the backs of the two men.

That is the Shadow Legion, the Troll Legion, the Giant Shadow.

The appearance of the four giant shadows came without warning, and the power they unleashed was astonishing!

Two-Tails, Satoru, Yagura Karatachi, and Shennong—these four beings, each possessing immense chakra, were caught off guard and blasted into the air.

With terrifying speed and power, it slammed violently into the tightly closed giant door.

At the moment the immense force struck his body, Yagura used the momentum to spin around, extending his hook-shaped staff toward the rock pillar to the side.

Wow!

A condensed water whip shot out from the tip of the hook stick, tightly binding the solid rock pillar and abruptly stopping its backward flight in mid-air.

However, the other person and two beasts did not have such swift reaction and luck.

Bang! Bang! !

A deafening crash resounded as it slammed solidly into the massive bronze door.

However, what was even more terrifying than the impact was the anomaly that followed!

The instant their bodies touched the door, the dark patterns on the giant door suddenly lit up with a blinding, eerie light, and an irresistible, terrifying suction force instantly locked onto them.

"Aaaaah!" Shennong let out a shrill scream as the Zero-Tail Chakra within his body surged out uncontrollably like a floodgate being opened, only to be greedily devoured by the giant gate.

"Roar!"

The two-tailed beast and 'Satoru' struggled violently with their massive bodies, but the chakra within them transformed into surging streams of light, which were forcibly drawn from their bodies and continuously poured into the gate.

The entire door trembled violently, emitting a deep rumble!

"Not good!" Jiraiya instantly understood the 'Shadow's' intention. "His target is something on the second level!"

Rumble, rumble...

The indestructible bronze gate, which had swallowed countless lives, finally opened a crack as a massive amount of chakra was poured into it.

A chilling aura whistled out from the crack in the door, causing everyone's clothes to flutter and a great chill to run through their hearts.

And almost at the same time the gate opened.

The 'Shadow' standing atop the Ten-Tailed Stone Statue chuckled softly, its form disappearing silently into the shadow beneath its feet, like ink merging into water.

"Have fun, everyone." His voice, tinged with a hint of a smile, clearly reached everyone's ears.

The moment he finished speaking, his figure had completely disappeared.

The next instant, an almost imperceptible shadow slid silently down the base of the statue, swiftly slipped into the newly opened door, and disappeared into the deep darkness.

"That guy, Kage... he tricked me again!" Konan's anger deepened as she looked at Nagato, who remained unmoved.

Surprisingly, Nagato's face showed no anger.

He simply watched the door slowly open, watching the 'shadow' disappear before his eyes.

"We can't let him get what's inside!"

"Chase!" Without the slightest hesitation, Jiraiya shot out, and the others reacted instantly, rushing towards the giant door that exuded a cold aura.

However, even faster than them was the figure that flapped its wings and appeared in front of the door.
