Scroll 4: The Third Uchiha [Naruto]

Chapter 12: Rin Uchiha [Shippuden]

**Authors Note:

Hello All!

I have two things I need to discuss with you guys, but the second part will be following this chapter.

So the first thing is I have intentions to bring back Itachi, I mean fully alive and everything. It's something I had been planning since I first watched his death and learned his truth. So like when the chapter first came out in the manga.

BUT I also understand why that would be not good to do either haha so I really can't decide. Now then, I have created a poll which you can find the link for in my bio. So please vote!

You can also feel free to share your opinions in the comments.

Now then please comment, vote, and enjoy!

After the meeting of the war council, Lady Tsunade went ahead and brought together the leaders of her units. This included myself, Inoichi Yamanaka, Shikaku Nara and the elders. They were discussing if the war was really a possibility or if it was just someone taking Madara's name to cause a ruckus. It was all rather tasking so I decided to stand.

"Kakashi?" Lady Tsunade questioned.

"We already know war is unavoidable, so it's best we're prepared and as per your order, I must ensure Rin is ready to fight" I replied.

"She can wait" One of the elders objected.

"Rin has faced many opponents and obstacles in her life, war has not been one of these and war can make anyone, even the greatest of us afraid of battle. It's as Lady Tsunade said, we need her ready" I explained calmly.

"Kakashi is right" She agreed and I nodded in thanks.

"Go on" It took nothing more for me to leave the room. I headed for the compound, knowing she'd be there hiding from the other clans and searching for the tablet they spoke of. It was a far walk. Lady Tsunade would shortly be announcing the news to the village, of the upcoming war. Rin may have already informed the Hyuga, seeing as Lord Hiashi wasn't able to attend the meeting. In a way, she was lucky that the Uchiha were only her and Sasuke. During times of war, it fell to each respective head to prepare their clans. Rin only had herself. I walked through the gates of the compound, it was a little strange seeing the streets cleared. Almost everyone had already been moved back into the village. I slipped my book into my pouch as I walked towards the shrine. I pushed open the door and was a little confused to find it empty.

"Where is she?" I muttered to myself. There was always a small thought that she'd run again. I released a slow breath and focused, I could sense a very faint chakra signature. I stepped into the room, trying to get a stronger feel for it.

"Kakashi..." I turned my head slightly, I knew that voice. I had only heard it once before when Rin had channeled her dark chakra through me. I walked around the room, scouring every corner, and nearly tripped over a rise in the floor. I stared down at it then knelt, I knocked a few times and an echo followed.

"There," I mumbled. I managed to wedge my finger under the mat and pulled it up revealing a staircase. I smirked slightly as I stepped down, making sure to put the mat back into place. I followed the torches that were lit, it was the only guidance through the apparent maze that was under the compound. The signature became stronger until I finally found her. Rin sat before a podium, a tablet was in front of her and there were also inscriptions on the walls. She had her legs crossed and eyes closed, meditating. There was a faint aura of dark chakra surrounding her.
