Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Shy Rin, Obito’s Betrayal
---
Hearing the sound, Kakashi immediately turned to look at Sasuke. Then he noticed the implication behind Sasuke's words.
It seemed like Sasuke knew the person in front of him.
Kakashi quickly asked, "Sasuke, do you know who this person is?"
Sasuke smiled and responded, "So you don't know who she is? In that case, have her take off the mask."
Kakashi and Sasuke both looked at the mask on Rin's face. Rin hesitated for a moment before reaching up to remove the mask.
When Kakashi saw the familiar face underneath, his eyes widened in disbelief.
He shouted, "You are... Rin!!"
He never expected that the person before him would be his deceased teammate, Rin!
Then, he noticed the cracks on Rin's face, similar to those on Uchiha Shisui's when he was reanimated.
"Is this... the Reanimation Jutsu?!" Kakashi asked in shock.
He then looked at Sasuke and asked, "What is your purpose for doing this? Rin's strength shouldn't be of any help to you, right?"
Sasuke looked at Kakashi, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. He didn't answer Kakashi's question directly but instead said slowly, "How could she be useless? She is very dangerous to someone."
Kakashi was stunned and couldn't help but wonder. Dangerous to someone? Who could Rin be so dangerous to?
Sasuke observed Kakashi's confused expression and shook his head helplessly. He said, "That person is someone you're very familiar with."
A trace of doubt flashed in Kakashi's eyes, but he still couldn't identify who Sasuke was referring to.
Seeing that Kakashi was still clueless, Sasuke decided to give him a hint. He said, "Just a reminder, in your memory, that person should be someone you thought was dead."
After hearing this, Kakashi frowned, lost in thought. In his memory, the dead person had an important connection to Rin.
Could it be...
Suddenly, a name came to his mind—Obito!
Thinking of this, Kakashi suddenly raised his head, eyes wide in disbelief, and said, "You're not talking about... Obito?!"
After all, the only person who could fit those conditions was Obito.
Sasuke's lips curled into a smile. He snapped his fingers lightly and said, "Congratulations, you got it right!"
Even after getting confirmation, Kakashi was still confused. "But why? What about Obito?"
"Obito is obviously dead!" Kakashi exclaimed, still in disbelief.
This was something he couldn't comprehend. Obito had been dead for many years. How could he still be alive?
"Who told you that Uchiha Obito is dead?" Sasuke replied calmly.
"I saw Obito die right in front of me. How could he possibly still be alive?" Kakashi said, unable to believe it.
"I think it's better if Rin explains," Sasuke said, pulling Rin closer to him.
Rin began to explain what she knew.
As she spoke about Obito still being alive and even confronting Sasuke, Kakashi's mind went numb.
"If Obito is still alive, why didn't he return to Konoha to find me?" Kakashi asked, still puzzled.
Hearing this, Sasuke sneered and said, "Why didn't he come back? During the Nine-Tails Rebellion and the Uchiha Clan Massacre, didn't he already come back? And he brought a major 'gift' to Konoha!"
When Sasuke mentioned the 'gift,' Kakashi understood what he meant.
"You mean... the one who caused the Nine-Tails Rebellion and the Uchiha Clan Massacre... was the masked man... Obito?!"
Kakashi shouted in shock. This news was overwhelming.
But then, why didn't Sasuke tell him this before?
Seeing Kakashi's expression, Sasuke coughed awkwardly and said, "I only recently discovered the masked man's identity."
Of course, Sasuke was lying. He had simply forgotten to tell Kakashi about Obito's identity back then. After all, he didn't expect Obito to come and recruit him into the Akatsuki organization. Sasuke wouldn't admit that he was having too much fun with the girls and forgot to tell Kakashi. Absolutely not!
"But why would Obito do this? That was his master and his family!" Kakashi expressed his curiosity about why Obito would do something so heinous.
After all, in his memory, Obito had always been a good person. How could he kill his master and orchestrate such terrible events?
"Oh, this has a lot to do with you and Rin," Sasuke explained. "Didn't you kill Rin with your own hands? When you killed Rin, Obito was there, and because of that, he awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."
After saying this, Sasuke pointed at Kakashi's eyes, "So, your Sharingan should also have the ability to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan."
"My... Sharingan..." Kakashi muttered absentmindedly, covering his eye. The impact of today's revelations was overwhelming. Rin was resurrected, Obito was alive, and Obito was the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails Rebellion. All this information left him reeling.
After saying this, Sasuke took Rin home, leaving Kakashi alone to reflect on everything.
Once home, Rin asked Sasuke the question that had been on her mind.
"Why did you resurrect me?" After all, unlike Kakashi, she had seen Sasuke confront and defeat Obito. She didn't see any reason why Sasuke would need her as a weapon against Obito.
Hearing Rin's question, Sasuke smirked mischievously and said, "Of course, it's because I want to have you!"
Sasuke lifted Rin's chin with his finger.
"Stop joking!" Rin blushed with embarrassment, even though her reanimated body didn't allow for much expression. But Sasuke could still hear the shyness in her voice.
"I'm serious. After all, who wouldn't like such a cute girl like you?" Sasuke said. And with Rin having a connection to Obito, it only made Sasuke more intrigued.
