@Ultima what I'm saying is thatif she turned back towards the Mist village, Kakashi would follow to try to stop her. The delay would put the Mist Jonin and Anbu on them, and Kakashi couldn't beat them all.

The Mist could catch Rin, but they'd probably just take her to Konoha anyways. And while I agree that Obito would make it in time to save her (though idk how he'd fair in that fight without Kamui), Rin had no isea that holding out for Obito was an option.

What I'm saying is I think Rin chose the best option in her scenario.

Run back to the Mist village? Could do that, but then they'd just have her again and probably would take her to Konoha anyways. Also this option most likely leads to Kakashi's death.

Head to Konoha? The seal would release 3 Tails as soon as she got there. If Minato happened to not be there, she'd bring devastation to the village. If Minato was there, She'd still probably kill people just by entering TBM at all by accident before he made it to her.

Run literally anywhere else? The Kiri Ninja were just pretending to chase her. If they really wanted her, they're a team of Jonin and Anbu. They could just capture her again and they'd be back to square one.

Kill herself? Put the 3 Tails out of the picture and give Kakashi the opportunity to escape, as he's faster and more capable than she is and she'd slow him down. Only downside was making Obito go crazy, though she couldn't know that would happen.
