10 - Silent Pleas

Rin had no family name mainly because she had been orphaned at a start of the third shinobi war. No one knew who her parents were or if they did never mention probably because they had enemies as such she went through her early life with just her given name. She grew up and trained during a time of conflict, became a genin at six, a chunin at age ten, and a jonin at thirteen in times of peace this wouldn't normally occur. However war seldom gave you that kind of stable environment, you fought, you survive more than seven or more missions you advance in rank. Rin's team had been lucky she had Minato Namikaze as her Jonin-sensei as such she pretty much survived every mission her team was given, save one. It was this mission that would defined them however, as well as their mettle, Minato though broken up over Obito's death overcame his grief went on to do even more amazing things, eventually went to become 4th Hokage, married an amazing woman, and was about to start a family. Kakashi, just as grief stricken overcame just enough of it to function and continue his career as a shinobi.

Rin however after Obito's final confession before his death and her surgically removing his sharingan to give to Kakashi, slipped into grief so profound that it had drove her for a time insane. She kept it to herself, gave no outward indication that she had lost her mind, when her sensei became Hokage she offered to be his secretary in one vain hope that it would quell her grief. Briefly it did, the job was safe far behind the front lines away from battle and she had time to meet the bundle of energy that had been Kushina Uzumaki and grew to love the older woman as she would a sister. But too much time doing nothing more than paperwork meant too much time thinking, and this in turn meant refocusing on her grief.

Her grief reconstituted her madness long enough for her to do things that were beyond foolish, she would go into the hokage vaults at night and study the one jutsu she hoped would eliminate her grief. It was called the Impure World jutsu, by using a single living victim as a way to breach the realm of death and anchor a soul to the living realm. The person created was normally turned into a puppet by the summoner to fight for that person. Rin in her grief crazed head finished memorizing the jutsu, and when Minato formally announced that he was going to be a father, it caused something in the young teen to snap.

Kakashi-kun won't talk to me he's abandoned me, now Minato-sensei and Kushina-chan are going to have a family and abandon me too. Rin's addled mind deduced though rationally she knew that was false that her beloved sensei who practically raised her would never abandon her, if anything he probably was her to be the older sister to his child, but her grief and madness caused her to ignore this joy.

So three months before Kushina was to give birth, Rin knocked out some random civilian, she vaguely recalled the man was named Kizashi Haruno. Dragging the unconscious man outside the village walls and performed the Impure World jutsu and brought the one person she knew could never abandon her, Obito Uchiha. The problem was she refused to turn him into a puppet, she wanted him back as the person he had been. This would be a mistake, she explained what had happened to him and all the details leading up to her reasoning to bringing him back.

Problem was when he was summoned she forgot to put in a replacement eye so the intense eye trauma Obito was suffering broke him mentally; something she didn't take into account. Though he did not show it outwardly the pain had been so intense when he came into consciousness that his mind snapped. When she explained fear grief induced fears, Obito brought into madness through pain could only think of one thing to remedy the situation, grant the world peace through the ultimate genjutsu.

By the time Rin realized what she caused Obito had imprisoned her to keep her from not only releasing the jutsu but also preventing anyone else from finding her, her arms were spread apart to keep her from making handsigns so she could not cancel the Impure World jutsu. She watched for nearly sixteen years as the teen who once had a crush on her become a twisted shell of what he once was, having heard he tried to use the Kyuubi ripping it out of Kushina, only for Minato-sensei to stop him and reseal it in his and Kushina's son. W-W-What have I done, Rin thought tears in her eyes slumping her head down when Obito informed her that there sensei had been killed by his hand in a round a bout manner. Minato-sensei, Kushina-chan both gone and it's my fault, oh Kami please no. Her grief and sorrow would only get worse as her creation would take things to even greater depths. Like Kami himself was punishing her for trying to do what was only in his power. She watched as Obito brainwashed Nagato Uzumaki to use his freedom fighters and turn it into a criminal organization. She watched as Obito helped his kin slaughter their entire clan minus one. But the greatest crime she watched her creation begin doing was to extract the biju, which would come around to eventually extracting the nine-tails from Minato and Kushina's son. Please Kami, have I not suffered enough would you really do this to a boy just to get back at me for my one moment of madness. Please don't let him do this; create a champion to stop him. I'd gladly give up my life to protect the baby brother I've never met. Please give me that one chance to redeem myself, to make things right that is all I ask of you. Rin cried looking up at grated window into the sky she saw a rather strange neon green light suddenly descended from the sky. For a second the young woman wasn't sure what occurred before she broken into the happiest smile she's had in a long time. Thank you, Kami. If I am to be sacrificed to make up for all my wrong doings, please let it be to the brother I've never met and yet love more than anything else on this world.

Obito watched from outside the cell his insane mind not comprehending the smile, he was following through with his plans mostly to achieve world domination but the second goal was to punish this woman for bringing him back, for letting him feel the agony of not having both his sharingan. A small part of him begged him not to go through with this to turn away from this path. But his insanity was to strong he would complete the Moon Eye plan.

The resurrected Uchiha stood in the inner chamber in the Hidden Rain village seething, the nine-tail Jinchuuriki and his pink haired teammate had taken his most powerful pawn. One he had plan to kill for the Rinnegan, but it was all for naught. Obito clenched his hand rage mounting, not only had the Uzumaki Jinchuuriki managed to stop this he also got a member of his clan back, and if Zetsu's reports were accurate, he and his pink haired teammate defeated the Immortals like they were nothing, saving both the two-tail and seven-tail, taking the seven-tail with him and escorting the two-tail home. As such all four of the last biju were now safe behind walls of the Hidden Cloud and the retched Hidden Leaf. Three of the strongest Biju were free, the seven, eight, and nine, plus if the nine-tail ever managed to conquer or befriend his biju then the resurrected Uchiha would be in even worse shape. But what was disconcerting was the strange powers that the nine-tailed Jinchuuriki and his teammate had used to defeat the Immortals. Energy coming from rings, one colored green and the other violet, judging by what Zetsu had stated the aura's were the definition of Will and Love. I would not be able to use either, Will is nothing but a hindrance and love is a weak pathetic emotion that gives rise to irrational decisions. Obito scoffed at this thinking about how he could salvage his plans. He had hoped to bring in Kabuto but found he had been slain, he wouldn't consider the Hidden Stone, even in his insane mind he still hated that village mostly because they caused his death. Then he thought he could bring in Sasuke Uchiha, but couldn't find him as if the younger Uchiha had dropped off the planet. I sense Itachi and Jiraiya's work in that; I should have killed Itachi when I had the chance. The resurrected Uchiha continue to seethe, all his potential pawns were used up, dead, or fighting for the other side. This left him with one course, force a confrontation with the nine-tail Jinchuuriki and kill him before the brat could join up with his biju and be too much for him. "Zetsu, it seems that our options are limited."

The plant looking shinobi nodded, "What will you do?"

"Only thing we can do, kill the nine-tails, while it may set us back for a time we can manage it," Obito reasoned.

"What of the strange power he possesses?" Zetsu asked.

Obito scoffs waving his hand, "It is of no consequence willpower can easily be crushed. When I force the confrontation he will no doubt let his pink haired bitch follow him, kill her and his will to fight crumbles."

The plant shinobi frowned slightly, "And her power?"

"Is even weaker than his," the Uchiha snarls. "Love is a foolish, weak emotion you'll have no trouble killing her."

With that the two shinobi shunshin out of the tower heading for the hidden leaf.
