Chapter 72

"Can I really leave you alone?", Rina asked Kabuto who had brought more shinobi to the battlefield. "Yes, I'll stick to the plan already.", he affirmed and looked at the girl.

"Hn.", came the prompt reply and would not bother further. Her task was getting closer and closer. So she had no time to worry about Kabuto. "I'm about to send the real Madara to the battlefield. So you can concentrate on your task in peace."

Rina didn't answer him and just ran out of the cave. The sun shone down on her while the leaves of the trees moved with the wind. Things she couldn't see for a few years in Amegakure. At least until she had to catch the Gobi.

Taking a deep breath, the Uchiha jumped up onto the grassy plain and started running. In doing so, she immediately jumped onto a branch to be faster and thus jumped to the next one.

It had been perhaps a day since the war had begun and the Shinobi Alliance had been busy. They had been smart to stay in several locations where the white Zetsus had come.

Likewise, the Kin-Gin brothers were brought to life by Kabuto who carried the chakra of Kyuubi. A chakra which they still lacked to be able to awaken the Juubi at all.

The familiar spirit jutsu that brought the Gendou Mazou here, Rina had yet to show the elder Uchiha. One never knew when one could need the vessel the Juubi.

The cave long behind her, Rina jumped further along the path she had to follow. Thanks to the markings of Obito and the Juchuuriki, she had no problem finding it.

The question she had to ask herself was what would be waiting for her on the main field. At least she didn't know how the alliance was doing, neither Obito.

Her first break came when the sky darkened and she sat down under a tree. She was careful that no one would notice her here and suppressed her chakra.

Her eyes closed to let them rest enough. Tired eyes, as well as a tired body would bring her nothing at all. Because she had also activated her Mangekyou several times, her blurred vision was also noticeable.

Unfortunately, Rina had no way to get another Mangekyou. Which she could have was unattainable for her. While one eye had been destroyed by Danzo, the second was hidden somewhere, which Itachi had with him and had given to Naruto for Sasuke.
