Chapter 88: Chapter 88

Minato's gaze turned toward Obito Uchiha.

A student who he had already thought to be dead.

"Well then Obito, whilst I can keep Kazuo's kekke genkai a secret, everything that you are about to tell me will be reported to the Hokage as well as Fugaku, your clan leader," Minato said as he motioned with his head for Obito to start.

Obito gave a slight nod in understanding before he released a long-winded sigh.

"I don't mind Minato sensei." Obito first said before taking another deep breath and continuing.

"When I was crushed by the boulder, I lost consciousness and when I woke up, I was inside of a completely sealed cave," Obito said, it was as he tried to say the next words that his chest thumped with unimaginable pain.

It was as if his heart was being torn apart as if someone had directly clutched his blood-pumping organ and was squeezing it.

*Cough* *Cough*

Obito almost fell down however Kakashi quickly grabbed him by the shoulders and held him in place.

"What's wrong?" Minato questioned immediately however before he could get up to help, Obito raised a hand, his condition already stabilizing.

Once he straightened himself back up, Obito had a twitching smile on his face, though it resembled a smile, it was clear that it was a sarcastic one at best.

"Seems like the man who saved me has placed some precautions to stop me from saying anything Minato sensei." 

For a moment, Minato didn't reply, only giving a nod of his head a brief moment later.

"I guess you will have to go through a yamanaka examination then. If that doesn't work then I'll try to find a way to remove whatever has been done to you." Minato replied before a thought went through his head.

"What did you feel just now?"

Obito pointed to the left side of his chest.

"It felt like my heart was being squeezed."

'Heart being squeezed? That doesn't seem like genjutsu, it feels more like a seal.' Minato thought quickly before getting up from his seating position and walking to Obito.

"Lay down and remove your jacket." Minato practically ordered.

Obito followed the order without a second thought as he quickly laid down on the couch and removed the jacket, revealing his chest which was clearly different from a normal person's.

The main difference is the strange two-colored skin.

"It's quite miraculous how they were able to heal you up and even regenerate your lost limbs. What did the medical ninja say about it?" Minato questioned, even though he was not privy to everything about his students.

"Nothing, the part that has been replaced looked completely normal, the medical ninja didn't even notice any difference and so they didn't do any extensive checks on it," Obito replied causing Minato to release a hum in thought.

Minato placed his left hand on Obito's chest before releasing a small wave of chakra that went through Obito's entire body.

A moment later, he said.

"There's a seal placed on your heart." 

"A seal on my heart?" Obito immediately raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Isn't that dangerous? No should we even send him to the Yamanaka sensei? They could trigger the seal and cause Obito's death." Kazuo interjected at this moment.

Rin, Kakashi, and Kushina who heard Kazuo's words that voiced out their own thoughts immediately changed their expression to a grimacing one.

They knew that Obito had to go through a Yamanaka examination, whether they liked it or not. It would have been possible to not do it if Minato were the Hokage however he wasn't yet.

"Can you remove it Minato?" Kushina asked, her voice low.

Minato shook his head.

"Maybe you could Kushina however even then we would need to have an expert medical ninja on hand so that we could safely open up his chest, and the only one capable enough would be Lady Tsunade however she has already left the village" Minato replied before handing Obito his jacked back.

"All right, at this moment all that we can hope for is that the Yamanaka examination doesn't trigger the seal however I'll also try and see if Lord Hokage can make an exception," Minato said before sitting back down onto the couch opposite of Obito.

His eyes turned toward Rin, the last person who he was planning to talk to.

"I'll give you the same option as I did to Obito, Rin. You can choose to not have the others around when we talk about the changes that are occurring to you." Minato asked as he looked at Rin.

"I don't mind sensei," Rin answered.

"It's not like it's a secret either way," Kazuo said, barely holding back a scoff.

"Not a secret?" Kushina turned at his words.

"I mean with all due respect Minato sensei, Kushina-san, I've fought a jinchuriki before and he showed quite a lot of similarities with what Rin is going through right now as well as the fact that I already saw the large seal on Rin's body when we rescued her. However considering that she doesn't have a seal on her body right now, I'd guess that either the previous tailed beast was removed from her body which would lead to certain death, or that the seal has been further repaired by you two." Kazuo said before taking a moment to gather his breath.

"If it is the first option, then she entered a state of pseudo-death and was then revived with medical ninjutsu and was implanted with the chakra of another tailed beast, which leaves only the nine tails. The nine tails can only be sealed into Uzumaki and Kushina-san is an Uzumaki. This would also explain the physical changes that she has gone through which normal jinchuriki don't go through without releasing the tailed beast's chakra." Kazuo said before stopping for a moment and raising his eyebrow as he looked at the group before him.

"Am I right?" 

A slight smile had unknowingly appeared on his expression.

Kushina, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin looked flabbergasted as they practically had their mouths hanging whilst Minato's eyes were clearly widened as he looked at Kazuo.

I wanted to showcase the increase in Kazuo's intelligence/analyzing capabilities and I felt like this was a good scene to do that in.

Though I probably made lots of mistakes xD.

Chapter 89: Chapter 89

It didn't take long for the group to gather their wits again.

Minato nodded his head slowly, and a twitching smile appeared on his face.

"Seems like I underestimate you Kazuo. I guess being chosen as an assistant of a Nara really wasn't an accident." Minato said before releasing a soft sigh.

"You mean, that Rin is now a jinchuriki of the nine tails?" Kakashi took this moment to ask as he turned to face Minato.

It was Kushina however that responded to his question.

"No, she's more like a chakra battery. She doesn't have any of the nine tails consciousness and only some remnant of its chakra however if the sealing isn't reinforced soon then that could change."

"That could change?" Obito questioned as he raised an eyebrow.

"That's right, the chakra could develop the nine-tails consciousness if it becomes more and more integrated with Rin's body. After that happens then that chakra will be able to regenerate and thus Rin herself would become a sort of tailed beast instead of the vessel of one. Now there are two options that we can take though one of them is rapidly fading away." Minato responded as he pointed toward Rin.

Kazuo released a hum as he nodded his head slowly.

"The process of fusion between the two different chakras has already progressed quite a bit if we look at the fact that Rin has already produced physical changes." 

"That's right, in fact, we might already be too late, so sealing the chakra away completely might already not be an option for us."

"Then what's the second option sensei?" Rin questioned as she brought her hands together, it was clear how stressed the young kunoichi was from how much her hands were shaking.

"It's to create an entirely new seal that seals the remaining portion of the unfused nine-tailed chakra and then allows for it to slowly be integrated into your chakra system. This will likely cause quite a lot of side effects, however."

Silence engulfed the room once more at Minato's words.

'This is useful, I guess you really weren't useless after all Rin-chan.' Kazuo thought as his mind quickly went back to his plan of devouring the nine-tailed flesh during the nine-tailed rampage on the leaf.

"The side effects would probably be that she won't be able to control her chakra as effectively anymore and would be prone to increased emotional reactions and going on rampages?" Kazuo questioned as he rubbed his chin with his left hand.

"That's right, It would essentially make it so that Rin would have to start training her chakra control and jutsu that she has currently mastered from the start once again."

'Would that affect the jutsu that I gained from the system? Probably not, but that would mean that I would lose all the other jutsu that I learned myself including the paper jutsu that I created on my own. And then it's likely that that jutsu would be much harder to master or learn again as well considering the volatile nature of tailed beast chakra.' Kazuo thought as he quickly analyzed the possible repercussions of fusing tailed beast chakra into your own chakra system.

Minato stood silent for a moment as he gathered his thoughts.

"It however is the only option we have right now. But I'll tell you all of the possible side effects that I can think of first Rin."

Rin gave a shallow nod of her head, cold sweat had already covered her back however her eyes showed a fierce determination.

"Loss of chakra control and all jutsu mastered until now. Loss of reproduction abilities though we would have to do medical exams to confirm it. A possible significant reduction is emotional control and finally, your body itself will likely change, this could range from small physical changes like your teeth turning into sharp fangs and your eyes resembling those of a fox's, all the way up to your bone structure or even growing a fox tail in extreme cases. Those are all of the possible side effects that I can think of." Minato said before taking a deep breath.

'That's quite a lot, and though the side effect of growing fox limbs or appendages doesn't seem that bad at first it's actually one of the worst ones, it would completely change your body's balance and center of mass which will cause even the loss of your taijutsu, shuriken jutsu, and bukijutsu skills.' Kazuo thought before releasing an inward sigh.

The more he thought about it, the more he hated the fact that he hadn't been simply transmigrated into the body of a Uzumaki or even Uzumaki Naruto's body.

"I see, well we don't really have any other options Minato sensei, and even if all of those effects turn into a reality, I won't give up, let's do this," Rin said as she gave a small nod, her expression showing a twitching smile that clearly carried hidden sadness however it was all overshadowed by her overwhelming determination.

'Someone who was under Minato Namikaze's tutelage and then went ahead and sacrificed themself for the village without a second thought really isn't normal. Anyone would choose this option since it's their only way to live however to show such determination in the face of what could be career-ending side effects isn't something anyone can do. I guess I underestimated you Nohara Rin, you are more useful than Sakura after all.' Kazuo thought as he showed a soft smile on his expression.

"That's the way Rin-chan, you don't have to worry about anything, Kakashi, Obito and I will be around to help you throughout everything," Kazuo said as his soft smile turned into a cheesy one as he got closer to the young girl and gave her a side hug.

His face then turned toward Obito Uchiha.

For a moment Obito didn't react and in the next moment, he quickly came closer and gave Rin a hug himself.

Here's the chapter.

I know these past few chapters haven't had a lot of combat or excitement however, they are kinda essential for the story to progress sometimes.
