"Oops!"
Uchiha Obito saw that the Anbu who had just been speaking to him was pushed to the ground by Rin, who had transformed into a Tailed Beast. Immediately sensing that something was wrong, he quickened his pace, rushed to Rin, and placed the seal on her face.
Just as he brought Rin out of the Tailed Beast state, Karin, on the other side, seemed to be affected. The Tailed Beast chakra surrounding her body grew thicker, completely engulfing her.
Six tails erupted from behind Karin, instantly destroying the surrounding terrain. As soon as the six tails appeared, they launched an attack on Obito and Rin.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Uchiha Obito, holding the weakened Rin in his arms, swiftly threw a kunai, embedding it into the ground far away. Before Karin's attack struck, he teleported with Rin to safety.
Kneeling down, Obito pulled the kunai from the ground and turned to look at the fully transformed Karin. He whispered, "Karin has also lost consciousness… why now of all times?"
While speaking, Obito's eyes fell on the Anbu lying beside Karin. After glancing at Rin, he pondered briefly before quickly departing with her.
Obito had already marked his home in Konoha with the Flying Thunder God seal. To protect Rin from harm, he promptly took her back when Karin went fully Tailed. After securing Rin, Obito teleported to Uzumaki Raiden's residence, preparing to seal the residual Tailed Beast chakra.
"Roar!!!!"
Karin, now fully transformed into a Tailed Beast, roared, and a violent wave of chakra burst outward from her. The monstrous energy filled the sky. Even distant Konoha ninjas with sharp sensory skills noticed the disturbance.
In the Hokage's office, Namikaze Minato stopped writing, stood, and moved to the window. Looking solemnly toward Raiden's mansion, he muttered, "Quick! Head to Raiden's place to see what's going on!"
The moment he spoke, a soft sound pierced the air as his Anbu vanished, rushing toward Uzumaki Raiden's estate.
Konoha reacted swiftly. As soon as Karin began her transformation, Anbu were dispatched outside the village in droves.
Back at the battlefield, Uchiha Obito confronted the Six-Tails. He dared not act recklessly in the face of such a beast. While Obito hesitated, Karin's form shifted drastically—her once human body swelled rapidly. Within seconds, she had completely transformed into the Six-Tails.
As the Six-Tails emerged, countless bubbles began falling from the sky. Under the sunlight, they sparkled with color, appearing almost romantic. But Obito had no time to admire them. Through his Sharingan, he saw that each bubble was formed of chakra.
There was no doubt—they were dangerously lethal.
Obito swiftly pulled several kunai from his robe and dashed around the area, launching them strategically. While doing so, he performed a hand sign and used the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique. This allowed him to scatter Flying Thunder God kunai across the battlefield.
Simultaneously, the bubbles began to descend.
"Boom!!!!"
One bubble exploded mid-air, triggering a chain reaction. Dazzling flames engulfed the battlefield. Just before being consumed, Obito activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and vanished.
A split second later, Uzumaki Raiden returned from Mount Myōboku. Having just emerged from a different space, Raiden was unaware of what had occurred—and was immediately engulfed by the terrifying blast.
"Boom boom boom!"
The string of explosions lit up the sky. Though it was daytime, and the sun shone brightly, the strange glare from the blasts outshone it. The deafening sound carried far, alerting the people of Konoha.
Uninformed Jōnin and Chūnin left Konoha on their own initiative, heading toward Raiden's residence.
Beside the waterfall, thick smoke and dust from the explosion slowly cleared. Raiden's residence activated its defensive barrier. Inside the courtyard, Kisame Hoshigaki, Zabuza, and others gathered at the entrance, staring outside in confusion.
When the smoke finally dispersed, they saw the enormous Six-Tailed Beast and were all startled. Akina Uehara instinctively ran to the study to find Raiden, only to realize two minutes later that he wasn't home.
"That's Lord Raiden!" When the smoke cleared, Kisame spotted a figure standing before the Six-Tails. Taking a closer look, he recognized the person—it was Uzumaki Raiden.
Were it not for Raiden's unmistakable bright red hair, Kisame wouldn't have dared believe it. The man standing before the beast was in a dreadful state—something Kisame had never seen from Raiden.
Raiden's clothes were in tatters, barely scraps clinging to his body. Strangely though, despite the damage to his garments, Raiden's exposed skin was flawless and unburnt, as though the explosions hadn't harmed him at all.
"What the hell happened?! Where's that bastard Obito!"
Raiden looked down at his shredded clothes, veins twitching on his forehead. He had only taken Naruto to Mount Myōboku for ten minutes, yet disaster had struck.
The moment the rhinoceros-like Tailed Beast—clearly the Six-Tails—saw Raiden, its swaying tails froze in surprise. Even it hadn't expected his sudden appearance.
Before Raiden could speak, the Six-Tails began to dissolve rapidly, its chakra rushing back into Karin's body.
The beast had emerged due to leaked chakra from the seal, not a full unsealing. Its original plan had been to sneak out and hide before Raiden returned. But faced with the furious Raiden, it wisely chose to retreat.
The chakra quickly returned to the seal, revealing Karin's unconscious body, which dropped to the ground.
Raiden appeared beside her in a flash, brow furrowed. His gaze pierced Karin's lower abdomen, as if seeing the beast through the seal itself.
Inside the seal, the frightened beast curled its tail over its head and rolled into a ball.
Raiden said nothing. Even if the beast had killed all of Konoha's Anbu, sealing was already the harshest punishment it could receive.
Karin stirred under Raiden's intense gaze. Seeing a ragged man staring at her abdomen, she instinctively covered herself and sat up. At sixteen, she already had a strong sense of modesty.
"Lord Raiden, you—" she stammered, her cheeks flushing. But as her eyes glanced at the battlefield, she froze.
"What happened?" she gasped, covering her mouth in shock.
Raiden stood, ignoring her, and walked over to a nearby corpse. Squatting, he examined the Anbu's burnt body. All wounds were clearly from the explosion, but the gaping hole in the chest bore the clear remnants of the Six-Tails' chakra.
Removing the mask revealed a young face, about Kakashi's age.
"A training accident... this is going to be difficult to deal with."
Raiden muttered to himself. Just then, Obito returned via Flying Thunder God. Seeing Raiden beside the corpse, he knelt down in guilt and said:
"Lord Raiden, it's my fault. I was negligent. Please don't blame anyone else."
Raiden raised his hand to stop him.
"I already know. No one intended this. The responsibility is mine—you don't need to explain."
"I'll talk to Minato."
"Where's Rin?"
Uzumaki Jiuming stood up, turned his head and asked.When Uchiha Obito heard this, he thought that Uzumaki Jiuming knew that it was Rin who killed Anbu in the village. Seeing that Jiuming was going to shoulder the responsibility, he was relieved.He was not glad that he was able to escape punishment, but that Rin was not punished.
"Rin, I sent her back to the village."
Hearing this, Uzumaki Jiuming nodded, glanced at the Anbu's corpse, and asked, "What is this Anbu doing here?"
"He was passing on the news that the Zhishui team had an accident while performing tasks on the border of the Land of Fire. The body of the Zhishui team was discovered by the border guards. As for Zhishui, his whereabouts are unknown."
Obito said in a deep voice, already half kneeling, he lowered his head even lower, he didn't know what kind of reaction Uzumaki Jiuming would have when he knew such news.
"What did you say? Zhishui is missing?"
"When did this happen?"
Whirlpool Jiuming heard the news, raised his brows, and asked hastily.
"It's been a while, at least two days since the body of the water stopper was found and the news came from the border forces."
Obito replied, while raising his head slightly, paying attention to Uzumaki's expression.
Whirlpool Jiuming's expression changed several times, and then he seemed to have noticed something, and his eyes swept to the forest in the distance.
While the two were talking, Konoha's ninjas had already arrived, and the first to arrive was Anbu, who was ordered to guard Uzumaki Jiuming's house. When a small group of Anbu came to the scene, they saw the one on the ground at a glance. The team leader led by the corpse immediately came to the body of Whirlpool Jiuming, and asked in a low voice:
"Lord Jiuming, what's going on?"
"Miyano, did he betray the village?"
When he came to the Anbu squad leader, he obviously recognized the corpse on the ground. Seeing Miyano's death, his first reaction was that the other party was a traitor, and he was found and executed by Uzumaki Jiuming.
"No, there was an accident in our cultivation. Renzhuli didn't control his strength well. He was killed by the tailed beast."
When Uzumaki Jiuming was speaking, his eyes swept towards Senshou Karin who was in a daze, and Anbu's team leader also looked in the direction of Uzumaki Jiuming's gaze, and his heart sank.The environment here has already explained a lot of things, and the team leader of Anbu obviously thought of something, and there was a faint fear in his eyes looking at Xianglin.
Not long after the pair of Anbu arrived, several of Konoha's ninjas came one after another. Everyone looked at the environment here, then at Xiang Rin in the ruins, and at the corpse of Anbu , Immediately think of it.
"Obito, the sacrificed pension is tripled, and I will pay for the extra part. There are still those people in his family. If there are old people and children to support, all subsequent expenses will be counted to me."
"In addition, the accidental killing of Anbu is not allowed to spread, and those Konoha ninjas who came here have also been notified in place."
"I don't want to hear any gossip."
"Obito, go and inform Fuyue, and ask him to gather all the Uchiha clan sent back to Konoha."
"Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave the village to perform tasks."
"Several of you, gather his corpse."
Uzumaki Jiuming pointed to the corpse of Anbu in the distance, said, then waved to Xianglin, and walked towards his home.Although Xianglin has no memory of the runaway, just by looking at the corpse in the distance, she knows that she may have caused trouble, and no matter how many ninjas are watching her at this time, she immediately followed Uzumaki Jiuming into the small courtyard middle.
After Uzumaki Jiuming left with Karin, Obito also left to deliver a message to Uchiha Fugaku.
Everyone present defaulted that it was Xiang Rin who killed Anbu. After all, from the information they got, that was the result that could be deduced.
The young man's body was packed in a body bag by Anbu, and the ninjas who came one after another were also dispersed by Anbu.However, what happened here is still known to many people, and the news that the daughter of the Senshou family killed Anbu of Konoha Village also spread like wildfire.
