Chapter Ten
She walked forward; much to the surprise of Tatsuya and Kakashi, she sprint into a full run. She ignored the calls from behind her, her eyes focused above. She knew as a medic-nin that she wasn't supposed to be on the front lines, risk being wounded or dead.
Maybe she should have waited much later where he was on the ground, instead of the high in the sky. Maybe she should have stayed behind, but she couldn't. This was an important confrontation.
Rin arrived just in time.
She caught someone's eye, Sasuke Uchiha.
Who is she? Sasuke thought, frowning at the brunette.
She smiled faintly, the smile vanished just as fast. To her shock she saw her sensei, Edo Tensei, alongside his son. His arm was gone. Wasn't it suppose to regenerate by now? Unless...
"Rin?!" exclaimed Minato.
"Dad, you know her?"
…
…
…
"She was an old student of mine. She's suppose to be dead..."
Rin cast a sideways glance at them all, her expression serious. They were all probably thinking she was a fool for this course of action.
"Guys, I know it wasn't smart of me to march up here like this, I'm a fool for doing so... but honestly, I don't care what any of you think of me," she deadpanned.
Silence.
"Sensei... I have to do this. Trust me."
"Rin... I—I ..."
She cried: "Obito!"
Her voice seemed to do something.
Obito glared below him at the female body. Upon further inspection, she wasn't just another woman. Her face... her voice... it couldn't be. This was some sick joke. But his eyes couldn't deceive what his heart believed to be true, even if his brain wouldn't.
"R-Rin?"
"Obito!" she cried again.
Foolish woman... just what the hell is she thinking this will do? The Second Hokage thought miserably.
"Rin, get out of the way!"
In happened in a flash. You see the events in pictures. Obito in front of Rin, Rin backing away slightly obviously frightened by his appearance. And then she was on the ground, knocked unconscious; a gaping wound in her back.
