Scroll 4: The Third Uchiha [Naruto]

Chapter 16: Rin Uchiha [Shippuden]

**Authors Note:

I'm so sorry for the disappearing act. My personal life has been ridiculously time-consuming.

Also, a heads up I actually jump around through a lot of episodes in the war cause obviously Rin's not everywhere and the opening of the war really focuses on Ino-Shika-Cho and the re-animated kage, Gaara's division, and mostly the technical stuff of the white Zetsu's. So for Rin-wise, it's a little on the dry side.

However, with the real Madara, the Obito reveal and Sasuke/Itachi entering the war I have such big plans for it all and I'm so excited for you to read it, so it'll be getting better I promise!

Now please comment, vote, and enjoy!

Rin

Following Gaara's speech, the platoons were sent out. Kankuro's division had already encountered battle while Intel was spreading that our enemy was approaching from underground. I ran alongside Sakura and a few paces behind Kakashi. We were to stick to the forested areas until otherwise commanded. A red flare from the surprise attack division had already changed our course.

"Can you sense the shift in spiritual energy?" The Jubi's voice startled me but I kept it to my self as I kept pace with the others.

"It's war, everyone's tense and nervous. I thought nothing of it" I replied.

"No, not your comrades. You will reach them shortly" The warning was enough for me to activate my Sharingan, I withdrew a kunai from my holster as we jumped through the tree line into an open field. I followed Kakashi's lead jumping over Sai and his platoon and used my kunai to block another. I was a little startled when I met their gaze.

"H-Haku?" I stammered. His eyes widened and I glanced to the others.

"Zabuza" I recognized.

"Rin, analyze this jutsu" Kakashi ordered and I nodded as I looked over the others. Two that I didn't recognize.

"Reanimation justu."

"Hn, imperfect reanimation. Not what I could do for you" The Jubi scoffed.

"Who did this?" I demanded and Zabuza looked towards me.

"Ah, my young apprentice. You've grown up, and are the others doing well?" He asked.

"My brother is alive, and the bridge we fought on is now named after Naruto" I explained.

"So, he's famous now," Zabuza mused and Haku chuckled.

"They call him the kid who makes miracles happen" Kakashi replied. I noticed Haku's strength lessen and drew back when they stepped away. A large mass of purple and black chakra erupted around Zabuza.

"Everyone get back!" Kakashi ordered and we followed.

"K-Kakashi" Zabuza struggled.

"Do-Don't hesitate or hold back, use any means necessary to send us back"

"I need you to find the source" I ordered.

"You'll need to connect with one of them" He replied and I nodded.

"Are you ready?" Kakashi asked and I rested a hand on my katana as he lifted his headband.

"To think, our first battle on the field would be the first battle we ever fought together." I mused and he chuckled. I tensed as I watched Zabuza form hand signs.

"Ninja art, hidden mist jutsu"

"Assemble battle groups with sensory type ninja in the center. The other members cover twelve, three, six, and nine o'clock positions in manji formation. Zabuza can locate targets using sound only" Kakashi ordered. I released a slow breath as I stepped forward, closing my eyes to focus on sound.
