The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 482 Resurrecting Nohara Rin

The morning light spills over this sacred land of the ancestral star, bathing the leaves in the courtyard in a warm glow.

Uchiha Mitsunori followed a familiar path to the home of an acquaintance.

This is where Kakashi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha temporarily resided, and there is an old maple tree in the courtyard.

At this moment, maple petals are slowly falling, carpeting the ground in pale pink.

He's here today to fulfill his promise... to revive Nohara Rin and put an end to the three people's long-held obsession.

On the stone table in the courtyard, there were three cups of slightly cooled tea, clearly indicating that they had been waiting for quite some time.

The petals fell onto the rim of the cup, adding a touch of elegance.

Kakashi Uchiha was dressed in a light blue casual outfit, and his expression behind the mask seemed calm.

There are also reminiscences of the past; Uchiha Ken stands tall and straight beside him.

His features combined Kakashi's composure with Obito's wildness; he was both looking forward to seeing his mother, whom he had never met, and somewhat uneasy.

Obito Uchiha had his back to the courtyard gate, his black cloak hanging down, covering most of his figure, and his aura was as dark and gloomy as ink.

As soon as the Uchiha Mitsuru approached the courtyard, the three of them turned to look at each other at the same time.

Their expressions differed, but all revealed a hint of tension.

Kakashi Uchiha's eyes brightened, then dimmed again, anticipation and trepidation intertwined in them.

Uchiha Ken pursed his lips slightly, his eyes filled with curiosity and unease, and subconsciously moved closer to Kakashi.

Obito Uchiha's eyes flickered instantly, and his shoulders tensed slightly.

Uchiha Mitsunori walked to the stone table and sat down, casually brushing away the petals that had fallen on his shoulder.

Seeing the three of them looking tense, he curled up a deliberately teasing smile.

"Why are you all looking so miserable... I've come to fulfill my promise and revive Nohara Rin... Shouldn't you be happy?"

He picked up the tea on the table, took a small sip, and spoke in a relaxed tone.

Then, his gaze deliberately fell on Obito, with a hint of mockery.

"Speaking of which, after reviving Nohara Rin, how do the three of you plan to get along?"

"Kakashi has a son named Ken, and you've been obsessed with Rin for years. It makes me quite curious."

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha's face instantly darkened.

A wave of loneliness washed over him, and he looked down at the ground.

A petal landed on his head, but he didn't even notice: "I... am just a superfluous person... After Lin is resurrected... I will leave!"

Rin Nohara is Kakashi's wife and the biological mother of Ken Uchiha.

This is a fact etched in time, and he was not only a rogue ninja who once destroyed Konoha and caused war.

He was the one who personally pushed Lin to her death, and for so many years, he has struggled with regret and guilt.

Even after being redeemed, the blood debt still weighed heavily on his heart.

Even if he had the chance to see Nohara Rin again, all he felt was fear and helplessness.

He was terrified of seeing the disappointment in Rin's eyes again, and even more afraid that his presence would disrupt Kakashi and Ken's peaceful relationship.

Seeing this, Kakashi Uchiha gently patted Obito on the shoulder.

Uchiha Ken also spoke up at the right moment, saying gently, "Uncle Obito, Mother... perhaps... never blamed you."

"My father said that before my mother passed away, she kept calling out your name, hoping that you would turn back."

Seeing Obito's relaxed expression, Uchiha Mitsunori stopped joking.

He clapped his hands gently, and two soft white lights rose from his palms.

With pure life force, it slowly condensed into a human shape beside the stone table.

As the white light swirled, two figures gradually became clear.

A figure dressed in a light pink kimono, with her long hair loosely tied up and a plain cherry blossom hairpin inserted in her hair.

With gentle eyes and a quiet demeanor, she is none other than Nohara Rin as an adult.

She opened her eyes, her gaze immediately falling on Kakashi and Uchiha Ken. The familiar feeling made her pupils shrink slightly.

Then, his eyes instantly filled with a soft light, and a gentle smile appeared: "Kakashi, he is Ken...?"

After saying that, he reached out and gently grasped Kakashi's hand, then turned to look at Uchiha Ken.

"I'm sorry, Ken, Mother is late."

Uchiha Ken froze, his nose tingled slightly, and his tense emotions instantly dissipated.

He raised his hand and placed it on the back of his mother's hand, choking back tears as he said, "Mother..."

My longing for maternal love over the years has finally found its home at this moment.

All my anxiety turned into peace of mind.

Kakashi looked at the mother and son who had been reunited, and a warm light appeared in his eyes.

He grasped Nohara Rin's hand tightly in return and whispered, "Welcome back, Rin."

The other figure was slender, wearing the uniform of the Konoha Ninja Academy, and had neat short hair.

With a youthful innocence and liveliness still lingering in her eyes, she was none other than thirteen-year-old Nohara Rin.

She looked around blankly at the unfamiliar courtyard and the unfamiliar people in front of her.

Hearing the conversation again, her almond-shaped eyes were filled with confusion, and she subconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes.

She took a slight step back, her voice tinged with timidity: "How...how did I get here?"

"Where am I? Kakashi? Obito?"

She vaguely felt that the two people in front of her were somewhat familiar, but she couldn't recall any specific past.

When his gaze fell on the adult Nohara Rin, a hint of curiosity crept in.

"Who are you? Why... do I feel like you're so kind to me?"

Upon hearing this, the adult Nohara Rin slowly released Kakashi's hand and walked step by step toward the young girl Rin.

Her footsteps were light, and her eyes were as gentle as a spring breeze that embraces all things.

She stopped and kept a safe distance from the girl, Lin, without making any sudden moves.

She simply chuckled softly, "I share the same name as you, Nohara Rin."

"Perhaps, we were meant to be each other's bond."

"Rin, now an adult, is Kakashi's wife and Ken's mother, continuing your original bond."

Uchiha Mitsunori slowly explained, turning his gaze to Obito: "As for this girl Rin, she is a special form that I copied from the River of Time. She only retained her memories before the age of thirteen, without the pain and regrets of later years... This one is yours... I'm giving you a chance to make up for the regrets of your youth and protect her for a lifetime."

The adult Rin Nohara's gaze swept over Kakashi and Ken, finally settling on the young girl Rin.

"Lord Uchiha Mitsumine, I have a request. Since she is someone who has never experienced pain, I will no longer use the name 'Nohara Rin.' From now on, I will be called Nohara Kaede."

Everyone was taken aback. Kakashi asked softly, "Why change your name?"

Nohara Kaede smiled slightly and gently brushed the stray hairs from the girl Rin's forehead.

Her movements were natural and gentle: "The name 'Nohara Rin' carries too much past pain and regret."

Let it remain in the past.

She looked at the young girl Lin, her eyes filled with affection.

"I want to be her older sister, to protect this carefree Lin."

"So that she will never have to go through those hardships again. From now on, I am Nohara Kaede, and I am Nohara Rin's older sister."

The young girl, Lin, blinked and looked at the gentle Nohara Kaede in front of her, and most of her fear dissipated.

She tentatively tugged at Nohara Kaede's sleeve and whispered, "Sister?"

"Oh. My sister's here."

Nohara Kaede smiled and agreed, reaching out to gently hold her hand; the warmth of her palm was comforting and reassuring.

Obito Uchiha's eyes reddened as he watched the heartwarming scene before him.

He walked up to the girl, Lin, his voice trembling slightly.

"Rin, I am Obito, Uchiha Obito."

He was no longer as hesitant as before. He gently raised his hand and carefully ruffled the hair of the young girl, Lin, with a gesture of cherishing her as he made up for years of regret.

The girl, Lin, tilted her head, and the blurry fragments of memory in her mind became clearer.

The boy who always followed behind her, who would occasionally act up but would always stand in front of her when she was in danger.

She smiled, revealing a pair of shallow dimples: "Obito, I think... I remember a little bit."

Nohara Kaede looked at the two of them with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

She turned to look at Kakashi and Ken Uchiha, and whispered, "Kakashi, Ken."

"From now on, we're family. I'll protect Rin together with Obito."

Kakashi nodded slightly, his eyes filled with relief: "Okay." A simple word carried years of obsession and expectation; the regrets of the past finally found a perfect ending at this moment.

Uchiha Ken walked up to Nohara Kaede and said respectfully and affectionately, "Mother."

He understood his mother's intention in changing his name and was willing to protect this new bond.

Nohara Kaede smiled and ruffled his hair, her eyes full of affection: "Ken, thank you for staying with Kakashi all these years."

Obito Uchiha also spoke up at the right moment, looking at Kakashi: "Kakashi, I was wrong before, I made you and Rin suffer too much. From now on, we will protect this family together and never let anyone hurt them again."

Kakashi looked at him and nodded slightly: "Okay."

Years of grudges and estrangement vanished completely at this moment, leaving only the tacit understanding and warmth of walking side by side.

Looking at the scene before him, Uchiha Mitsunori, not wanting to disturb this rare moment of warmth, gently rose to his feet.

"I'm giving you three days off. Get along well and let go of all your past grievances."

As he spoke, he walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

When he reached the courtyard gate, he stopped, turned to look at the three of them, and changed the subject.

"The holiday is over. Everyone, head to space and focus on creating life-bearing planets. No slacking off allowed."

"Anyone who dares to delay the mission will be punished by having to transform three more barren planets."

Upon hearing this, the smiles on Kakashi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha's faces instantly froze.

Their faces fell, revealing a bitter expression.

Kakashi Uchiha sighed helplessly and rubbed his temples with his fingers.

Obito Uchiha let out a wail and hung his head dejectedly.

The hard-won warmth was instantly overshadowed by the pressure of the task.

Creating a life-bearing planet has never been an easy task.

To search aimlessly for a suitable stellar core in the empty universe.

They also have to expend energy using chakra to reshape the landscape, nourish the soil, and build an ecological cycle.

It even involves regulating the planet's day-night cycle and seasonal changes.

Each renovation takes months or even years, a tedious and lengthy process.

Even for powerful individuals like them, the ordeal was immense.

Not to mention the idea of ​​transforming three barren planets on his own—the thought alone is terrifying.

Nohara Kaede couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at Kakashi's helpless expression.

She reached out and gently smoothed the wrinkles between his brows, teasingly saying, "Alright, stop looking so gloomy. No matter how difficult the mission is, we'll face it together."

The girl, Nohara Rin, was amused by Obito's dejected appearance and tugged at his sleeve, saying, "Obito, it's okay. My sister and I will help you with the mission."

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha immediately raised his head, and most of the frustration in his eyes disappeared.

He gripped the young girl Lin's hand tightly and nodded emphatically: "Alright! With you all here, I'm not afraid of any mission, no matter how difficult!"

Uchiha Ken stood aside, watching the heartwarming yet comical scene before him, and his affection for Nohara Kaede grew stronger.
