"A woman of the Uzumaki clan?", Nohara Haruki thought of the deceased wife of the Fourth Hokage, Lady Uzumaki Kushina, who was also Kakashi's mentor's wife.
"Is she related to that lady?"
Kakashi shook his head and said, "She's not related to sensei's wife. She's an orphan of the Uzumaki clan who drifted outside. Her situation is quite pitiful."
Young Obito, on the other hand, knew that Kakashi was referring to Karin.
Thinking back to when they returned to this world, and Sasuke's strange attitude, Young Obito couldn't help but say, "So, you're just bringing her to Konoha without worry?"
Kakashi narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean by that?"
Before Young Obito could answer, suddenly—
BOOM!
A violent explosion sounded from outside.
Everyone immediately went to the window and saw a purple giant standing in the distance, engaging in combat with some Konoha ninja.
Kakashi's expression changed. He knew that was Uchiha Sasuke's Susanoo, 'Has he finally begun attacking the Hidden Leaf Village?'
He only had time to say one sentence, "A special situation has occurred. I need to go assist immediately. You all hide and stay safe."
After saying that, Kakashi directly opened the window and headed at high speed toward Susanoo's position.
Young Obito and Rin looked at each other, 'Sasuke really can't stay calm, already starting trouble again?'
At this moment, the Nohara couple's brows were full of worry. Konoha had not yet fully recovered from the last Shinra Tensei. Was it going to be destroyed again?
Seeing this, Young Obito said, "Uncle, Aunt, don't worry. I'll also go take a look. I guarantee it won't affect you."
After saying that, he too exited through the window, following Kakashi's figure.
Mrs. Nohara knew that the one who went out was the man Rin loved. She couldn't help but worry, "Will he be okay? Is it really fine?"
Rin smiled and said, "Don't worry. He'll be fine."
After this sudden upheaval, Nohara Haruki no longer had the mood for lofty talk.
Instead, he murmured, "War really isn't anything good. No matter what it's for, in the end it shouldn't be started. Otherwise, every one of us will face danger."
Old Obito, however, looked at the sky outside the window with deep eyes, "Is that so? But this time, maybe it'll end very quickly."
From Young Obito, he had learned that the Fourth Great Ninja War, while appearing extremely intense and involving the top-tier powerhouses of the ninja world, later even becoming a battle between Six Paths-level powerhouses. In total, from beginning to end, it only lasted about three days.
Nohara Haruki asked strangely, "How can you be so sure it'll end quickly?"
"And, I feel like you two seem to… agree with that lunatic who started the war. Could it be that you know something?"
Old Obito slowly said, "Uncle, actually war has never had right or wrong, only positions. The five great ninja villages are all like this. Rin died protecting the village. The ninjas from other villages did too. No one is more noble than anyone else."
Nohara Haruki sighed, "Yeah."
Old Obito continued, "Don't worry, Uncle. I won't force anyone. I just want to give those who can't speak up a chance to choose."
Nohara Haruki froze, 'This Rin's classmate, why is his thinking so jumpy? What he says doesn't seem to answer the question at all.'
'Wait, what if… it isn't off-topic?'
He had asked about the inside story of this war. Rin's classmate responded with what he wanted to do. If there was some connection between the two…
Nohara Haruki gasped.
He couldn't help but ask, "You're not about to tell me… you're the one who started this war, are you?"
Before Old Obito could answer, Rin was already giving Old Obito a blaming look, 'How could you say that? She's watching you right now.'
Old Obito understood what Rin meant. Saying things like this in front of her parents was indeed inappropriate. Rin didn't want to drag her parents into this, no matter which world's Rin it was.
However…
He still said, "Lies are the least efficient form of communication."
Rin couldn't help but smack her forehead, 'Here we go again, both versions of Obito are like this.'
Last time, Young Obito had done his emotional outburst in front of Yuki. This time, Old Obito just openly confessed in front of her parents.
Seeing this, Mrs. Nohara couldn't care about anything else. She directly asked, "Rin, what's going on now?"
Rin sighed, "Mom, Dad guessed correctly. He is the one who started the Fourth War."
"I hope, even knowing this information, you two can pretend like you don't. Otherwise, it could cause a lot of trouble."
Nohara Haruki felt like his brain had stopped working. A single casual question seemed to have unearthed a massive secret.
But among all this, his attention was diverted by another thing Rin had said.
"Dear… what did you just call her?"
"If I didn't hear wrong, you called her Rin?"
Mrs. Nohara saw that her old man still didn't get it and couldn't help but mock him, "Your daughter came home and you can't even recognize her. Even Kakashi figured it out. You, honestly, your senses are way too dull."
Nohara Haruki was stunned, then recalled Kakashi's earlier behavior toward Rin.
Indeed, Kakashi wouldn't behave like that toward a normal girl. He had wondered why this classmate of Rin's had such charm?
But if… it was their own long-lost daughter, that would be completely different.
Suddenly, a huge wave of joy surged in his heart.
He looked at Rin with trembling eyes, "Is it really you, Rin?"
His tone was full of uncertainty, afraid of hearing a denial.
Rin cautiously released her sensory ability, checking the surroundings. After confirming there was no surveillance, she smiled and undid her transformation jutsu.
Nohara Haruki saw the figure he had longed for through countless days and nights, still the same as in his memory, without the slightest change.
Tears unconsciously welled up in his eyes. He couldn't help but rush forward and hug Rin tightly.
"Daughter… you weren't lying to me. You really came back."
"I get to see you again."
Rin's eyes also moistened. She raised her small hand and gently wiped away Nohara Haruki's tears, softly saying, "I'm sorry, Dad. I made you worry. But if I had to choose again, I would still become a ninja."
Nohara Haruki shook his head, "It's not your fault. You did well. You protected Konoha."
At this point, both Nohara Haruki and Mrs. Nohara had the same question, "Daughter… could it be, back then you didn't die… or were you revived?"
He recalled the promise Young Obito had made earlier. Could it be… that Young Obito revived Rin?
Rin shook her head and said, "Neither, Dad. I won't hide it from you anymore. The me in this world… did die. I'm not the Rin from this world. I just traveled through time and space… to come visit you both."
