Theories

This page is about all theories that revolve around Rin. WARNING, this page contains spoilers for AFTER Kakashi Gaiden.

Rin is Naruto's Mom

I don't know where this theory came from but I know it exists. It doesn't make any sense and thankfully this theory has been proven false because Naruto's mother is Kushina Uzumaki.

Rin is an Inuzuka

This theory came from the tattoos on Rin's cheeks, it is a possibility since Rin's last name has not been revealed yet. One of the problems with this theory is that Rin doesn't have a ninja dog. Another problem is the shape of her tattoos, an Inuzuka's tattoos look like fangs, Rin's don't. The eyes and the jutsu are different as well so maybe she isn't. She could be somehow related though.

Karin is Really Rin

This is another theory I've seen going around, mainly in fanfiction, but I don't understand why. The only similarity to Rin and Karin are their names. They are completely different in looks, personality, and skill.

Rin was the ANBU at the Memorial

This theory has already been proven false because the ANBU is Yuugao Uzuki.

Rin is the Female Akatsuki Member

This theory may have been a possibility but it isn't anymore now that the female Akatsuki member has been revealed as Konan.

Rin is Dead

This theory is the most likely one, she could have died on a mission or during the Kyuubi attack. This theory is backed by Kakashi telling Sasuke that all of his loved ones have been killed.

Rin is a Missing-Nin

This theory is very possible. It would explain why Kakashi never mentions her when he always mentions Obito. Maybe after what Kakashi told her at the end of Kakashi Gaiden she decided to run away, blaming herself for Obito's death.

Rin is Pein's Female Body

This theory is appearing everywhere since chapter 407 was released. I don't know where anyone is getting this from, the body looks more like Kushina then Rin. Besides, Rin has those markings on her cheeks, this female Pein doesn't. If anything, I bet the new body is actually Jiraiya's old female student. You know, the one that was Minato's teammate.
