Naruto: I'm Really Not an Evil Uchiha!

Chapter 37: Nohara Lin's Tears



"Rin Nohara, you should understand what I mean, right?"

Shimizu's hand, which had been lowered, returned to Rin Nohara's shoulders, his nose inhaling the scent of her.

"..."

It was only at that moment that Rin Nohara realized, in utter shock, that Shimizu was a devil hiding behind a human mask!

For the sake of a plan, he had spent two years gaining her trust.

Now, the moment had finally come for him to reveal his true nature.

All the goodwill Rin had built up for Shimizu collapsed like a crumbling tower.

"You're a demon!"

Rin could no longer keep her calm. She struggled frantically, trying to shake him off, and in her desperation, punched him.

Slap.

Shimizu easily blocked her fist, looking amused.

"Are you... not afraid I'll go all out, screaming for help and drawing others here?"

"Of course not. Kakashi is very important to you, isn't he? His father, the White Fang of Konoha, committed suicide because he couldn't bear the whispers of his teammates. Do you think Kakashi might also take that path?"

Shimizu smirked cruelly.

"Maybe such a tragedy will happen because Rin Nohara couldn't master medical ninjutsu properly. Being assigned to the same team as Kakashi, yet unable to support him emotionally, could push him closer to the edge. Don't you think so?"

"That would make you the true culprit, Rin Nohara."

Shimizu's words were firm, self-righteous.

He wasn't worried that Rin might resist him, scream, or cause a commotion loud enough for the Uchiha to hear.

He had set up a sound-dampening seal in the room and the yard. From the outside, one could only hear muffled voices but not discern what was being said.

For the past two years, Shimizu had been so good to Rin.

But not to deepen Rin's trust in him—rather, to cement his image as a kind-hearted man with a good relationship with her.

Even if noise did escape, outsiders wouldn't think much of it, assuming it was just playful teasing.

As for silencing Rin, that was even simpler. Did they think the three-tomoe Sharingan was for show? He could easily use a sealing technique, like the one he had used on Yuhi Kurenai, to manipulate her memories.

Rin froze, horrified by his words.

Her kind-hearted nature forced her to consider the twisted scenario Shimizu had described.

If she truly failed to help Kakashi, and he ended up following the White Fang's path because of her...

The guilt would be unbearable.

Would she be the final straw that broke Kakashi?

Rin's heart was under immense pressure. Cold sweat began to form on her forehead.

After all, the White Fang's suicide was a fact. With that precedent, Kakashi committing suicide seemed all the more plausible.

"Come now, Rin Nohara. I will help you learn the medical ninjutsu you lack, so you can be on the same team as Kakashi. You know how much it would mean to Kakashi to have someone supporting him during tough times."

Shimizu's hands once again slid over Rin's soft shoulders, pulling her into his arms.

"No, let go..."

Rin struggled, but her efforts were futile against the difference in their strength.

Slap!

Shimizu's hand landed on Rin's face.

Rin stared at him in disbelief, tears welling up as fear and humiliation washed over her.

"Don't push your luck."

The polite façade Shimizu had maintained for two years was completely torn apart.

Rin trembled, covering her stinging cheek with her hand, her wide eyes filled with shock and anger.

Despite her desire to lash out, she couldn't muster the courage to defy Shimizu, afraid of the unknown consequences his wrath might bring.

The Uchiha clan was Konoha's most powerful family, while she was merely the child of a retired, disabled ninja and an ordinary mother.

Even if not for herself, she had to consider her family.

"That's right. Be obedient, and everything will be fine—for you, for Kakashi, and for everyone."

Shimizu's actions became increasingly inappropriate.

Rin's tears flowed uncontrollably as she adjusted her stance, allowing him to hold her.

Turning her head away, she squeezed her eyes shut, trying to convince herself it was all a nightmare.

The sensations she felt—she told herself they were just bugs crawling under her blanket.

"Learn this."

Shimizu tossed a book at her feet. It contained essential knowledge he had kept hidden until now.

This was only a portion of it, though. He intended to keep Rin under his control for a while longer, only giving her the full content when he deemed it necessary.

Rin's dull eyes seemed lifeless as the book fell to her side. She didn't even notice.

"What's this? You don't want it?"

Shimizu raised an eyebrow, feigning curiosity.

All he had done was take advantage of her, yet her mental strength seemed so fragile.

At his words, Rin's lifeless eyes regained a flicker of light.

She treated the book as though it were a priceless treasure, picking it up with trembling hands and eagerly flipping through it.

Before long, she finished reading and realized the content was incomplete.

Even though she felt an overwhelming hatred for Shimizu, she couldn't help but ask, "Where's the rest?"

"The rest will come in time," Shimizu said with a devilish smile.

Rin lowered her head, her despair deepening. She no longer held any expectations for Shimizu.

"Why... Why me?"

Her voice trembled with pain.

"Blame Obito," Shimizu said, his tone filled with dark amusement.

Obito had played a role in the Uchiha massacre.

What Shimizu was doing now was merely a means of self-preservation.

To survive, to secure a better future for himself.

Obito sought to annihilate the Uchiha clan, destroy Konoha, and plunge the entire world into chaos—all for his selfish desires.

This placed him in direct conflict with Shimizu's goals.

Although Shimizu dared not act against Obito for now, as his strength wasn't sufficient to cover his tracks, he had to bide his time.

When he was stronger, he'd deal with Obito—who by then might already have Kamui.

Thus, Rin was the key piece Shimizu needed to control.

Rin had done nothing wrong. Her only fault was having Obito, the overly loyal dog, at her side.

"Obito?"

Rin's hoarse voice repeated the name, trying to understand what Shimizu meant.
