Chapter 252: The Revival of Rin Nohara
🕑 Added 2025-08-07 01:41:22 +0000 UTCA room in the Konoha research building.
Chakra, transformed into wind, was whistling. Kabuto Yakushi, watching the White Zetsu in the room, quickly formed hand seals. This White Zetsu was not a real White Zetsu, but was pieced together from cultured White Zetsu cells. In short, it had no soul. Under the pull of chakra, the White Zetsu trembled continuously, and light, like paper scraps, floated around it. But after a moment, it collapsed back to the ground. The expected revival did not occur.
"As expected, it needs a live sacrifice," the watching Sasame said with some emotion.
"Remember to capture a few living White Zetsu," Kabuto Yakushi put down his hands and reminded him.
Sasame nodded and turned to leave.
White Zetsu mainly had two sources. One was the transformation of humans caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Two was the White Zetsu cultivated from the Gedo Statue and Hashirama's cells. The one hundred thousand White Zetsu from the Fourth Great Shinobi War were created using the second method. Although the two types of White Zetsu were quite similar, the former was undoubtedly more powerful.
After Sasame's time travel through the Dragon Veins, to avoid too many butterfly effects, he had Ōtsutsuki Kaguya create a number of White Zetsu. The White Zetsu currently being used by Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu were his doing. He wondered if they had all been released. But it didn't matter. White Zetsu's purpose at the moment was to act as surveillance. In other words, there should be some in Konoha Village.
Sasame activated Sage Mode and expanded his perception. In a short while, he had caught two White Zetsu. He returned.
Kabuto Yakushi blurted out, "That fast?"
"It wasn't a difficult thing to begin with," Sasame threw down the unconscious White Zetsu. "Begin the summoning." Kabuto Yakushi nodded and began forming hand seals again.
This time, it worked. The White Zetsu gradually transformed into the appearance of a young woman: Rin Nohara. She looked at the two strange young men in front of her with great confusion.
"Didn't... didn't I die?"
The Pure Land. It was the equivalent of the underworld. After death, all ninjas' souls would enter the Pure Land. And they would retain their memories from the living world. For example, the Sage of Six Paths once summoned the deceased Kage from previous generations. They were no different from when they were alive.
"You died, but you're alive again," Sasame paused. "However, you're not truly alive. You're just temporarily existing in the living world because of a ninjutsu."
"Who are you?" Rin Nohara roughly understood the situation and asked in a low voice, "Why did you revive me?" Perhaps it was because she had already died once, but she was calmer than he had expected.
"I am the Sixth Hokage, Sasame," Sasame replied.
"Sixth?" Rin Nohara was startled for a moment. "How long has it been since I died? It's already the sixth generation?" Her memory was still stuck in the era of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. He was her teacher. In her opinion, Minato Namikaze was so young; he should have lived for a long time.
"It's hard to explain in a short time," Sasame chuckled. "How about I let the person you want to see tell you?"
"Kakashi, is he alright?" After being reminded, Rin Nohara quickly asked. She didn't ask about Obito Uchiha, because he had died before her.
"Not really," Sasame shook his head. "He's been quite depressed since the two of you died." Rin Nohara's face fell. She had already expected it, so she wasn't overly surprised.
"Where is he?" Rin Nohara's voice was pleading. "I want to see him." Ever since she was revived, she vaguely felt she was controlled and unable to move.
"To avoid scaring others, you should stay here for now," Sasame thought for a moment. "As for Kakashi, I'll have him come to see you." How to make Rin Nohara serve her greatest purpose was something worth planning. There was no rush for now. Besides, having her meet Kakashi Hatake should also earn him some Destiny Value.
Sasame returned to the Hokage's Office. After a long wait, he heard no notifications from the Destiny Halo. Oh well. Sasame's idea had failed. The revived Rin Nohara was still considered dead, so she couldn't generate Destiny Value. The bug he was hoping for did not appear.
"Sister Kurenai," Sasame called Kurenai Yuhi. "Is Kakashi Hatake in the village?"
"Yes," Kurenai Yuhi looked through some documents. "His squad just returned from a mission."
"Have him come over," Sasame instructed. Kurenai Yuhi nodded and left.
A moment later, a knock sounded.
"Hokage-sama." Kakashi Hatake was still wearing his usual Jonin vest.
"I have something to tell you," Sasame looked at his dead-fish eyes and sighed inwardly. In a way, this matter was quite cruel. He had lost something, found it again, and was about to lose it once more. However, it might also be a good thing. Kakashi Hatake had been despondent ever since then. With Sasame's influence, he hadn't become the squad leader for Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno. Rin Nohara's reappearance should be able to console him.
"What is it?" Kakashi Hatake showed little emotion. It seemed his life was left with only missions.
"Do you know about Impure World Reincarnation?" Sasame took out a document. "Take a look." Kakashi Hatake took it, confused. After a glance, he asked in surprise, "There's... such a ninjutsu?" He actually wanted to say, "such a shameless ninjutsu." But he noticed the creator was Tobirama Senju. So he wisely withheld those words.
How to put it? Although Kakashi Hatake was interested in its effects, with his personality, he wouldn't use it. Firstly, he was worried about disturbing the souls of the deceased. Secondly, it required a living sacrifice. Kakashi Hatake looked at Sasame, wanting to speak but holding back. He called him here specifically to show him Impure World Reincarnation. Did he want him to be the caster? But he wasn't willing to do that.
"Impure World Reincarnation is a top-secret plan of Konoha Village," Sasame began to talk big. "The reason I'm telling you is that the person who was revived has a connection to you, so I'm planning to have you look after her for a while."
"Who is it?" Kakashi Hatake's eyes lit up. He clearly hadn't guessed it was Rin Nohara. Sasame said "a connection," so he subconsciously thought it was a ninja he had worked with.
"Go to the research building," Sasame smiled slightly. "You'll find out who it is then."
So mysterious? Kakashi Hatake looked thoughtful but asked no more. He bowed slightly, took his leave, and headed straight for the research building.
[Due to your actions, Kakashi Hatake's fate has changed. You have gained sixty points of Destiny Value.]
Soon, the Destiny Halo chimed. Sasame breathed a sigh of relief. It seems Rin Nohara's persuasive skills are not weak.
Next was the Third Raikage. Although he was meant to be a sparring partner for Sasuke Uchiha, for a better effect, Sasame didn't plan to tell him. Therefore, preparing a mission was more appropriate. Sasame stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and made a plan. This time, he wouldn't bring Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga. Instead, he would bring Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka. Hmm, two medical ninjas. This should motivate Sasuke Uchiha to work harder.
Sakura Haruno, needless to say. He was bringing Ino Yamanaka because he had promised her before that he would take her on a mission. He hadn't expected to have delayed it for so long. Ahem. In truth, he had simply forgotten. Hinata Hyuga was more obedient. Even if he didn't bring her, she wouldn't say anything. But Naruto Uzumaki would probably throw a tantrum. But it wasn't too much trouble. His personality was easy to placate. Sasame planned to hand him over to Might Guy for a temporary two-day mentorship. Anyway, as long as Naruto Uzumaki had a mission, he was happy. It didn't matter whose mission it was.
With this in mind, Sasame had Kurenai Yuhi bring him the latest missions. He wanted to see if there were any familiar ones he could use for training. But after flipping through them, he found none. It made sense. He couldn't just stumble upon them whenever he wanted.
Sasame pondered for a moment, then ordered the Anbu to send an intelligence report. Since there were no missions in Konoha Village, he would look at other ninja villages.
"Jonin Suien of Takigakure has defected?" Sasame raised an eyebrow. The name sounded familiar. Soon, he remembered. This was an anime-original plot. The rogue ninja Suien, in alliance with the Hidden Rain Village, planned to stage a coup in Takigakure. But he was defeated by Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno, which led to his failure. Takigakure, in the original work, was a ninja village with a significant presence. This was because it possessed a Tailed Beast. Out of the nine Tailed Beasts, eight were given to the Five Great Villages. Only the Seven-Tails was given to Takigakure. The reason for this was not mentioned. Sasame guessed it was because of Takigakure's unique geographical location. It was a hidden village behind a gigantic waterfall in the Land of Water. It was somewhat like a secluded paradise. It had never been invaded by other ninja villages or countries. Of course, even the safest geographical environment meant nothing to a powerhouse like Hashirama Senju. Therefore, why it was given a Tailed Beast remained unknown to Sasame.
Suien had just defected, so there should be some time before the plot happened. The Hidden Rain Village's involvement was understandable; they were likely after the Tailed Beast. Sasame naturally wouldn't wait. His idea was to have the Third Raikage, as a member of the Heavenly Mandate Organization, contact Suien. He would stage a play he had directed and acted in. He was truly diligent. Sasame felt he was very competent. And he didn't even ask for any compensation from Sasuke Uchiha. He was truly a good person. Hmm, he could ask Mikoto Uchiha for some compensation.
Sasame immediately stood up. The Flying Thunder God Jutsu was activated. He appeared at the Uchiha clan compound. Thinking of it and doing it is his ninja way. Ahem. Sasame opened the door. Mikoto Uchiha was sitting on the sofa, her eyes closed. She wasn't sleeping, but was refining chakra. In fact, her diligence was no less than Sasuke Uchiha's. She spent most of her days training. Sasame had not yet walked up to her when Mikoto Uchiha opened her eyes. For a ninja, this was instinct. Mikoto Uchiha smiled, put down her stocking-clad feet, and was about to stand up when Sasame stopped her. She was wearing a loose white long-sleeved shirt at home. Sasame, standing and looking down at her, could clearly see her delicate collarbones. Mikoto Uchiha noticed his reaction and naturally hugged him.
"Sasame." The warm breath from her mouth, full of tenderness, calmed Sasame's chaotic thoughts. He reached out and stroked her smooth, long hair. "I plan to take Sasuke out on a mission soon." Mikoto Uchiha's expression paused. She said hesitantly, "Will... will there be... danger?"
"There will be some danger, of course," Sasame said with a smile. "But don't worry, his life won't be in danger." Mikoto Uchiha pursed her lips. She understood the logic. But as a mother, worrying about her son was unavoidable. She sighed inwardly. If only she were stronger. She had already learned about Itachi Uchiha's strength from Sasame. It was much stronger than she had imagined. Simply awakening her eyes wouldn't be enough to defeat him. She also needed to awaken Susanoo. But Mikoto Uchiha still hadn't figured it out. This was likely due to her talent. It had been a struggle for her to even awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Go wash up," Sasame distanced himself from her. "I'm going to go check on that black cat."
"Okay," Mikoto Uchiha's eyes were slightly downcast, and she nodded. She stood up and walked to the bathroom. Sasame looked away and moved to another room. He found Yugito Nii. She heard the noise and looked up, seeing him. Her eyes immediately lit up, and she quickly scurried over. Before Sasame could speak, she began licking him. This cat is very enthusiastic. Sasame was stunned for two seconds. He reached out and stroked her soft back. After being covered in saliva, he picked up the black cat and sat on the sofa.
"Do you miss Cloud Village?" Sasame asked nonchalantly. The black cat immediately sobered up from her daze. Her body trembled, and she instinctively tried to escape his embrace. But she was held tightly and couldn't move.
"If you do, meow," Sasame said, casually kneading her soft fur.
"Meow..." The black cat instinctively called out. Her tense body relaxed again. She squinted her eyes in comfort. Sasame sniffed her neck; there was a faint fragrance.
"You've been a good girl lately. I can take you back to Cloud Village for a visit," the black cat's eyes opened. There was surprise, delight, and a hint of panic in them. In short, it was very complicated. She wanted to return to Cloud Village, but not in this way. If someone saw her, it would be better not to return at all. The black cat looked up at Sasame, her eyes expressing her emotions. She wanted to know the details.
"Don't worry," Sasame smiled. "As long as you're obedient, I won't make things difficult for you." The black cat meowed in agreement. She adjusted her body, snuggling into his embrace. At the same time, her tail swayed slightly in front of him, expressing her emotions.
"Meow." Soon, a warm breath came from her. Sasame nodded in satisfaction. But he also knew that Yugito Nii hadn't truly accepted her role. If she had the chance, she would kill him without hesitation. Sasame watched the black cat try to please him, and leaned back on the sofa. He closed his eyes and quickly fell into a dream.
The next day. He woke up and saw Mikoto Uchiha. Sasame was a little confused. Where's my cat? Mikoto Uchiha saw he was awake and leaned in, kissing his lips.
