[sagemode jinchuuriki]

In chapter 629 we learned the truth about why Rin died

Now many of us were wondering why would the Mist turn someone from the leaf into a Jinchuuriki?
At the time the mist were the leaf villages enemies. The answer presented itself to me in a rather round about way.
Rin's sensei was Minato.

He was known by the nickname of the hidden leafs yellow flash

This lead me to realize that the mist might have gone after Rin because the Yellow flash was her sensei. If you think about the Yellow Flash had a flee on sight order. Once I realized this I understood why the mist made her the Jinchuuriki. They wanted to kill one of the Yellow flashes students and kill the Yellow flash himself to weaken the Leaf village.

It is explicitly stated in the manga why they mada Rin the Sanbi Jinchuriki. It was to serve a trojan horse purpose, to unleash the Sanbi in the Leaf Village.

I don't trying to find hidden meanings in all of the moves is right in Naruto.

Well to tell fact its a nice theory rather its like you've opened a discussion
I believe Minato had nothing to do with this plan the mist only wanted to destroy the leaf in my view.. How was Rin captured the 1st place?....

Im more inclined to think Madara was controlling the Mist and he did that to Rin to lure Obito to his service.

 

[Avonomemi]

You got any more theory cos a tailed beast is a big deal to waste on one individual


I had red a previous post that says it all madara's doing

well that "might" be convincing but why would Madara target only Obito because I'm sure there were other Uchiha at that time

Right, and using Rin as a scapegoat would probably cause Minato to try and avenge his student; which would have led to an early death... (he was still a Jounin sensei at the time; he probably wouldn't have been able to defeat the Sanbi if it were to rampage the village)

OT: Good theory. At least it helps to give reasoning to their motives!

them just being small-minded...:scorps:

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

I think it was all Madara's doing thats why he was so sure Obio will return

True but sometimes you have to wonder about the village's or the people's reasoning

I have no idea how Rin was captured. You might be right but why than did they choose Rin if they only wanted to destroy the Leaf? I can't be the only one who found that odd.
Thanks for the reps

I agree that Madara probably was involved and I also think he wanted to kill Minato who at the time was one of the most dangerous Shinobi in the leaf

Minato being a Jounin and not a Kage is really kind of irrelevant. We've seen Kage-level Jounin before. Becoming a Kage doesn't magically give you new jutsu and such.

OT: I'm going to have to agree with JMannn. They just wanted to destroy the Leaf, and Rin happened to be the person they chose.

If it had been anyone but Rin maybe. I found it odd that they chose her out of everyone in the village

Thank you for the support. Thanks for the reps

So what do you think their reasoning was for kidnapping Rin

True but why would they select Rin if they just need a leaf villager or shinobi for the job

 

[Inichi Matsuka]

I somewhat agree with Derp, although I do hold my own thoughts about why they chose Rin.
It could be that it just happened to be her, but that seems almost too coincidental.
It's either Derp's reason, or OT's reason. Although I don't think there was any hidden motive behind their attack other than to just destroy Konoha with the Sanbi, yet still choosing Rin for a reason.

OT: The images aren't showing.

Oh good so I wasn't the only one who wondered why they chose Rin

 

[Avonomemi]

From what I gather (if it madara doing) he targets shinobi that were not in high priority, that way if they go missing or dye in battle noo one will com looking for them.

A good example with obito

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

It is my suspicion that Madara had been keeping an eye on Obito long before his accident occur.

Madara knew Obito's infatuation with Rin so he targeted her specifically, he anticipated Rin would choose death over the compromise of Konoha's safety, the outcome was expertly calculated by Madara.

 

[Aaroninja]

Im more inclined to think Madara was controlling the Mist and he did that to Rin to lure Obito to his service.

I originally thought this, but if he were powerful enough to be able to control the Mist from such a distance, then he could easily overpower a weak Uchiha child (Obito). It seems like it would be more work for him to do it this way with the mist.

It is more likely that Obito was the one controlling the mist, possibly as punishment for their plan that resulted in Rin's death?

 

[Stark]

They made it clear... It was for the Sanbi to rampage on Konoha..
