Chapter 202 (2/2)

Ryo had to give the clone Rin's appearance back, and then take the two into the forest in the distance.

Konoha's Ninjas who had recieved Kakashi's distress signal rushed in. They were led by Shin Sarutobi, one of the Ninjas who operated under Ryo in the Puppet Carriage interception mission back in the Wind Country. Now, he was a Jonin.

They arrived at the scene, just to be all slaughtered by the sight what had just happened.

Shin ordered everyone to spread out to confirm the safety of the perimeters, and he looked at the corpse of the tall man before him with his face all gloomy.

This was a one Mist Ninja that Shin had encountered during the war. He was at least quasi Kage tier, but he had a wooden branch in his heart.

Shin also noticed he had no other scars! Only his heart was fatally wounded. This means he was stabbed before he could do anything.

The Jonin was in cold sweat. Whoever killed this quasi Kage with such ease should be at least Kage tier, and not a lower tier one. If that person is still nearby, then they might just follow…

He did not like the idea, and immediately ordered the rest of his team to move faster.

Shin Sarutobi ordered everyone to get the two and head back to the village.

In the woods, Obito and Rin were holding each other tightly. Seeing that Rin is fine, Obito's despair was swept away, and he had a big smile on his face!

”Cough, I'm most sorry to distrupt your reunion, but we have to talk, Obito. Can you give me some of your time?” Ryo was running out of time, and had to interrupt the intimate moment.

Obito separated himself from Rin reluctantly, and then said impatiently: ”What do you want?”

Ryo laughed out loud for a while, as he saw Obito living his dream.

”Obito, have you encountered Uchiha Madara?” Ryo said with a smile.

Obito did not expect that Ryo would ask him about that. After being stunned for a while, he nodded and said: ”I met him indeed. After I was crushed by the boulder, he saved me.

”Obito, do you know why he saved you?”

”He said it was for the sake of real peace!” Ryo had a grin of disdain upon his face.

”I have also encountered Madara, just after the Battle of Kikyo Pass. I have also found out that he was saving you. However, since Medical Ninjutsu wouldn't have helped you, I let him temporarily take you away.”

Obito nodded, believing Ryo, as he remembered his injury.

”After performing a task in the Water country, I learned that Madara wanted to capture Rin, and use her death to provoke your Mangekyo Sharingan to activate, and then use you as a pawn.”

”What? Ryo, you're saying that everything that happened was a plan of Madara?” Obito interrupted Ryo in disbelief.

”Obito, it's true. Uchiha Madara did send the Water Country Ninjas to catch me. If it wasn't for Ryo, I would've been dead!” Rin confirmed Ryo's information.

Obito finally realized Madara's plot, and he was furious!
