"No, Master Jiraiya!"
A Konoha chuunin suddenly broke in when Jiraiya was about to rest.
Jiraiya paused, arranged his clothes, and asked everyone in Konoha: "Don't worry, what happened?"
The Konoha chuunin looked eager and took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Jiraiya: "Uchiha Obito disappeared. This is the letter he left."
"What did you say?"
Jiraiya's expression changed, and he quickly took the letter and opened it to see that the situation was exactly as the Konoha Chuunin said.
The general meaning of the letter was that he wanted to take action without permission to rescue his companion Nohara Rin who was kidnapped by the enemy, and hoped that he, the commander, would allow it.
This is to kill first and then play later.
"Damn it! What a random Uchiha boy! Doesn't he think about the consequences of doing this?"
Jiraiya sighed with a headache.
This is a time of war. If you leave the military camp without permission from your superiors, you will be directly treated as a defecting ninja.
Moreover, Obito is still a member of the Uchiha clan.
You know, many ninjas in Konoha are quite dissatisfied with the Uchiha clan now. If this matter is revealed, the situation of the Uchiha clan will be even more difficult.
Maybe the momentum that was finally restored will be hindered by Obito alone.
Moreover, there was one more thing that annoyed Jiraiya.
Obito is a student of his disciple Minato. If Obito leaves the camp without permission under orders, doesn't it mean that his disciple Minato has failed to restrain him?
This will lower other people's evaluation of Minato.
Even the Chuunin subordinates couldn't be restrained. Even though there was a reason for the incident, it was still considered a stain.
Moreover, he vaguely felt that placing Obito under Minato was deliberately done by his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen in order to appease and win over the Uchiha clan.
This guy may seem insignificant, but his effect is actually huge.
"What now, Jiraiya-sama?"
Nowadays, ninjas below the level of jounin are not allowed to move out in the camp, not to mention that Obito, as a chuunin, left the camp without an order. This was a defiance of Konoha's wartime regulations.
"Don't make any noise about this matter now, I will send someone to deal with it."
"yes."
As a close confidant of Jiraiya, Konoha Chuunin also knew that the impact of this incident was quite bad.
Moreover, the person involved is still a member of the Uchiha clan, and his identity is too sensitive.
After the Konoha chunin went down, Jiraiya had no intention of resting. He walked out of the tent directly, summoned the appropriate jounin to attack, and forced Uchiha Obito back.
"Really, are the patrol officers guarding outside blind?"
Jiraiya complained.
Even though he was an Uchiha boy who had awakened his Sharingan, he didn't realize that something was wrong until he left.
This is all due to the defection incident. As a result, the number of Hyuga clan ninjas appearing on the battlefield is less than usual, and their alertness is not as good as before.
Some of them were taken out by Minato to monitor Iwakaku's movements.
We must suppress this matter and not let more people know about it.
Jiraiya is not an idiot. Once the matter is revealed, some people will inevitably make a fuss about it, especially the old guy Danzo.
Now he won't come here to cause trouble during the war, but he will definitely bring this matter up after the war, causing the village's senior officials and the Uchiha clan to once again become in conflict with each other.
When it comes to squeezing and manipulating the Uchiha clan, the ninja's dark side never shows mercy.
◎
Lin, where are you?
Obito ran anxiously through the forest under the dark night, with only Lin on his mind.
As for the rules, he has thrown them out of the sky and completely ignored them.
After spending three days to find out the patrol route of the Konoha camp, Obito began to take action tonight without hesitation, even if he was alone, he had to rescue Lin from the hands of the enemy.
He had an intuition that Lin was not dead yet and was being locked up somewhere.
Lin must be very scared now. Whenever he thinks about this kind of thing, Obito's heart is filled with the urge to tear his enemy into pieces.
Unforgivable!
I don't know how much time passed, but Obito, who was running through the forest, suddenly noticed something. He immediately stopped moving forward and stared ahead with his double red Magatama Sharingan.
A figure stood tall in front of him, blocking Obito's path.
"That's it, Uchiha brat, if you've had enough trouble, come back with me now."
Wearing the uniform of a Konoha ninja, he said to Obito in a cold voice.
Obito's eyes showed nervousness. He recognized the person in front of him. He was a jounin of Konoha. He was good at using earth escape and water escape, and his physical skills were also quite good. In a sense, Obito was not a jounin. A type that is good at dealing with.
Under the pressure of the jounin's momentum, Obito could only gasp, pursed his lips tightly and did not speak, and his Sharingan stared at him warily.
"Aren't you going to speak? Give up. Even if you awaken the Sharingan, you will not be my opponent. At most, you will be a little troublesome. I don't want to fight with the ninjas from the same village, even if I don't like your Uchiha clan. "
The Konoha Jonin sighed.
But his advice seemed to have no effect, and Obito's eyes remained unwavering.
Even a powerful jounin could not stop him from saving Lin.
"It seems there is no way to negotiate. Sorry, time is limited. I plan to use violence against you."
After a moment of silence, and seeing Obito's determined expression, he knew that this brat couldn't get through with words, and could only make him submit through rougher means.
As he spoke, he disappeared from the spot and appeared behind Obito in an instant, swinging his knife at the back of Obito's neck.
Obito turned his head to dodge, and moved his body to the side, barely avoiding the sneak attack of this Konoha jounin.
The Konoha Jonin was slightly surprised, this kid seemed to be interesting.
"It's true that the Sharingan can see my movement trajectory, but whether I can dodge it is another matter... I underestimate you, so use more strength."
Make a mudra with your hands, and finally clasp your hands together.
"Earth Escape·Pillar Prison!"
Stone pillars protruded from Obito's feet one after another. Obito was shocked and quickly backed away, dodging the stone pillars protruding from his feet.
Then these stone pillars seemed to have tracking properties. Wherever Obito retreated, the stone pillars would protrude from there, blocking Obito's movements.
While Obito's attention was attracted by the stone pillars under his feet, the Jonin immediately gathered a large amount of chakra on his feet, and a pool of water appeared. It was the water escape and water teleportation technique, and he flashed behind Obito in an instant, even more than at the beginning. The teleportation technique is faster and silent.
"ah!"
Obito screamed in pain, and was hit in the back by the Konoha Jonin's palm.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body rolled to the ground in a mess.
But he still stared at the Konoha Jonin with his Sharingan.
The Konoha Jonin was careful not to look at Obito's Sharingan.
As a member of the Jounin of Konoha, he had also worked with Uchiha ninjas before and knew the power of these eyes.
The illusion based on the Sharingan can only take effect when the eyes are in contact. Therefore, when fighting a Sharingan ninja, the best way is to avoid sight.
Of course, fighting out of sight means that the enemy has an advantage. If you cannot observe the enemy's whole body, your own judgment in battle will be reduced.
But this is a disadvantage that only occurs in battles between ninjas of the same level.
Obito's strength is obviously not strong enough to fight a Jonin.
Therefore, even if he does not observe all of Obito's actions, as a Jonin, he can take advantage of the gap in strength and experience to defeat Obito.
Fortunately, this was an Uchiha chick that still had its wings spread.
Obito gritted his teeth and backed away.
Strong and cautious.
From the beginning of the battle, the opponent has not looked at his Sharingan.
The opponent relied on his excellent experience and strength to completely crush him who had the Sharingan.
Obito was not discouraged at all. He knew the difference between chuunin and jounin very well.
This gap is difficult to make up even with the Sharingan. In the previous battle alone, he had gone all out, but the opponent still seemed to be able to do it with ease.
But we can’t back down here!
He must break through this blockade.
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
After rigorous training, the fire escape ninjutsu released is naturally not as powerful as ordinary ninjas can achieve.
But in this Konoha Jounin's view, there are still many flaws in this wide-opening and closing technique.
Although he is a ninja who has awakened his Sharingan, it still takes a long time to fully mature.
A wall of water rose in front of him, extinguishing the fireball with a surging momentum.
"The heat is good, but it's best not to underestimate the Jonin."
Until now after fighting with Obito, there was no dust on his body. He just looked down at Obito from above with a condescending attitude.
This is a gap that cannot be bridged in the past.
Obito knew this.
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
The range was too large and it was difficult to dodge, so this Konoha jounin also used water escape ninjutsu to extinguish the fireballs with water.
White mist-like steam filled the air, and Obito's figure disappeared from his eyes.
"Even if you use ninjutsu to create a water mist environment, you can't escape my pursuit. This is just a waste of chakra."
Obito was taught this lesson by the jounin.
If you want to use the contact of water and fire to create water vapor that blocks your vision, you can escape. This is really underestimating the strength of the Jonin.
Obito disappeared from the mist-filled environment. The Jonin was not anxious. He stepped forward and calmly looked for Obito's footprints to determine which direction he escaped from.
Soon, with his excellent judgment, he determined which direction Obito was escaping from, and just as he was about to pursue him, a sharp bolt of lightning cut through the mist.
As soon as the Konoha Jonin turned his head, he lost consciousness and fell to the ground, his body still twitching.
Looking at the Konoha jounin who had been paralyzed by lightning and fell unconscious, the short figure that appeared in the mist took one look and immediately disappeared, chasing Obito's footsteps.
Not long after, two more figures appeared. Seeing someone unconscious and lying on the ground, they immediately went up to check.
"Hey, Ueno, what's wrong with you? Wake up."
The Konoha Jonin who fell to the ground woke up in a daze and saw two familiar faces.
He is a ninja companion in Konoha Village.
"Why are you lying here? Where is Obito Uchiha?"
one of them asked.
Ueno Jonin laughed bitterly, touched the part of his body that was numbed by lightning, and said: "You are careless. Today's young people are really not to be underestimated."
"No, is that Uchiha Obito so strong?"
"It's not him, it's that brat Kakashi, Sakumo's son."
After hearing what Ueno Jonin said, the eyes of the two companions widened.
"Like Uchiha Obito, he is also a chuunin, right?"
"Yes, he can approach me silently and knock me out just right. Even if I accidentally do it...but in a head-on fight, I may not be able to defeat him."
Ueno Jonin shook his head.
"Have you grown to this extent?"
"It's only natural. He graduated from the ninja school at the age of five, became a chuunin at the age of six, the son of the White Fang of Konoha, a student who is proud of his pornographic activities... an eleven-year-old Jonin is nothing to talk about. .”
Ueno Jonin sighed.
"Now what?"
"Catch up. Not only Uchiha Obito, but also that kid Kakashi... Really. Although it is to save his companions, it is too random."
Ueno Jonin stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and continued to chase forward with his two companions.
◎
After dealing with the whereabouts behind Obito, Kakashi used the shadow clone technique to separate into two clones. One of the clones began to form seals again and used the transformation technique to disguise himself as Obito.
"The induction work is left to you."
Kakashi's true form said.
The two clones nodded, disappeared from the spot, and left in the other direction.
When the two clones left, Kakashi bit his fingers and slapped his palms on the ground.
"Psychic art!"
Along with a burst of white smoke, a small ninja dog wearing blue clothes and a Konoha forehead protector appeared on the ground.
"Hey, Kakashi, long time no see."
The ninja dog raised one forelimb and greeted Kakashi familiarly.
"There's no need to talk about reminiscing about old times. Parker, go catch up with Obito and just keep walking in this direction."
Kakashi pointed in a direction.
"Obito? That stupid Uchiha brat?"
A psychic ninja dog named Parker remembered who Obito was.
"Yes."
"Although I don't understand what happened, leave this matter to me."
With that said, Parker lost track of where he was and followed the route given by Kakashi.
After Parker left, Kakashi took out a scroll from his ninja bag, glanced around, and murmured in a low voice:
"Then, I have to be prepared too..."
◎
No one is catching up?
Obito glanced behind him and found that there were no Konoha ninjas chasing him, and he couldn't help but feel strange.
But Obito didn't think much about it. Compared with Konoha's pursuers, his most important thing now was to rescue Lin.
As he continued to move forward, his head suddenly sank and something jumped on his head.
"it's me."
What jumped on Obito's head was a small psychic beast, Kakashi's ninja dog Parker.
"This voice...ah, you belong to Kakashi..."
Obito remembered who the owner of this voice was.
In the past, when Kakashi was chasing enemies, he would summon various varieties of ninja dogs, which have very powerful tracking capabilities.
"I'm Parker, Kakashi asked me to help you. How can I help you?"
Parker got right to the point.
"What? That Kakashi guy, it turns out he's also worried about Lin..."
The corners of Obito's mouth raised slightly, showing a happy smile.
"Lin? Is that the little girl?"
Parker asked, tilting his head.
"Yes, Lin was captured by the enemy a few days ago. I want to rescue her from the enemy now."
Obito said firmly.
"Do you know who did it?"
"Uh... probably the Iwagakure ninja did it."
"Probably? Where was the little girl taken? Iwagakure Village?"
"..."
Obito turned his head away.
Parker jumped onto Obito's shoulder, sighed and said, "I finally know the reason why Kakashi asked me to come here. You don't know anything, so you just went to save people."
"What a shame, I didn't see the enemy that day, how would I know!"
Obito responded righteously to Parker's question.
"Do you have any of that little girl's belongings on you?"
Parker spoke.
"What?"
Obito turned to stare at Parker as if he were guarding against a thief.
"Of course it's the smell. As long as it doesn't last more than a week and it doesn't rain on the way, I can trace the little girl's traces based on the smell."
Only then did Obito remember Parker's ability, so he stopped and took out a pink and white belt from his ninja bag.
"What's this?"
Parker stared at Obito suspiciously.
"Ahem, this is Lin's belt."
Parker, stare.
"What do you think I'm doing? This is just the belt that Lin accidentally broke a few days ago. I picked it up from the trash can because I didn't want to waste it. It's not... what you think! Humph!"
Obito's face turned red.
"abnormal."
Parker spit out two words.
"You need to take care of it! Be careful, I'll kill you and eat your dog meat!"
Obito was furious.
"I know...by the way, do you have unrequited love?"
Poof!
Obito felt as if a knife had been inserted into his heart, and then he pulled it out bloody, which was very painful.
This annoying dog.
Just like its owner Kakashi.
"Nonsense! I will confess to Lin right away!"
"Isn't that unrequited love?"
"I am going to kill you!"
Obito gritted his teeth.
Parker smiled, stopped teasing Obito, and sniffed Lin's belt, memorizing the scent.
Obito asked nervously: "How, how, can we find Lin's location?"
"Although the smell on the road is very light, I can still find the direction."
"Can it really be found?"
Obito was a little skeptical.
You know, it's been several days.
"Of course I can't find it using normal methods, but I have the ability to perceive and have an extremely large range of perception. And..."
"and?"
"The smell on the road is similar to that of a belt, and the route is relatively complete."
"Yeah?"
"Don't worry, you can definitely find it."
"Oh... hmm? That's..."
Obito suddenly noticed something with his sharp eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Parker questioned.
"that."
Obito pointed to something, it was a hair tied to the grass.
"This is Lin's hair! Look, it's exactly the same color as Lin's hair!"
Obito was 100% sure, with a look of joy on his face.
Parker: "..."
You can tell who the owner is just by the color of his hair. This kid... is not an ordinary pervert!
But Parker also knew why he could accurately perceive the complete route.
Because within the range of his sense of smell, there are similar smells at every certain distance, forming a complete route that can be traced.
"It seems that the direction is correct. Lin must have stayed here before. She took advantage of the enemy's inattention and deliberately left traces to wait for rescue. She is indeed the person I like."
Obito clenched his fists, hope sprouting in his eyes.
"I hope so."
Parker sighed, feeling that the atmosphere of conspiracy was getting stronger and stronger. It's a shame that this kid still smiled stupidly without realizing it. How big of a heart he had.
Leaving behind a signal that even an idiot can understand, this kind of thing seems weird no matter how you look at it.
Of course, it is also possible that the little girl named Lin was really clever and left a signal for her people to rescue.
"Then let's chase him, but let's agree in advance that I don't have the ability to fight, so can I leave the rescue work to you?"
"Of course, I bet on the glory of the Konoha Uchiha clan!"
Obito supported Ninja Konoha on his forehead and showed a confident smile.
"follow me."
Parker is in front.
"Wait a minute, that's not the direction of the Earth Kingdom."
Obito said.
"Who told you that we are going to the Land of Earth next? Judging from the route shown by the smell, we are going in that direction. If we go in this direction, after three kilometers, we can see the next hair. It’s there.”
Parker raised one forelimb and pointed in a direction.
Obito was surprised.
"That direction is..."
◎
Rumble.
A huge cave seemed to have opened up in the gray sky, and huge raindrops poured down from the cave, forming criss-crossing channels on the ground.
The sound of wind was mixed with the roar of thunder.
Bolts of lightning cut through the darkness, illuminating the heavens and the earth.
Along with the thunder, the rain seemed to be getting heavier and more intense.
Nearly a thousand Amegakure ninjas began to march under the leadership of Hanzo.
Staring at the torrential rain that was like a rain of arrows, everyone had different expressions on their faces.
Scared, nervous, excited, bloodthirsty.
This information can be read from their expressions.
But not one of them flinched.
Last night, each of them wrote their last words, leaving them to their relatives, lovers, children, friends...
Abandon everything and rush to the battlefield.
He is fighting for his village and this country.
In the past, the Country of Rain did not have the concept of a Ninja Village. All ninjas in this country were out-and-out Rain Country people.
In order to resist and bring peace to the country, the Ninja Village was established after going through bloody storms.
They love this country that is falling apart.
The lightning emitted light and whitened the earth.
The troops composed of Amegakure ninjas marched forward solemnly.
Hanzo was at the front of the group.
Today is the day agreed with Konoha to launch a general attack on Sunagakure.
But his mind was not on the battlefield.
Because he is afraid.
Fear of death.
The undefeated legend who is afraid of losing the demigod.
Afraid of losing the supreme power of Yuyin Village.
Fear of not being able to protect his family.
Fear……
All in all, he had a lot of reasons to be afraid and a lot of regrets that he wanted to accomplish.
I don’t want to die…and I don’t want to fight either.
But now that the decision has been made, there is no room for him to back down.
Because once he retreats, his reputation will be ruined. This is more terrible than death.
He remembered the old man Fang Zhu he met before. Because he saved his life thirty years ago, Fang Zhu, as the village chief, donated the only food in the village to him, regardless of the opposition of the whole village.
Because he Hanzo... is a great hero respected by everyone in the Land of Rain.
This belief in heroes has remained unwavering for thirty years.
Hanzo thought about those who had not left the Country of Rain. Was there anyone like Fang Zhu among them? Is it because he couldn't bear to leave his country?
Although he has vague memories of these and can't remember everyone's name, the people he saved must be unforgettable memories.
Finally, Hanzo also thought of the red-haired boy named 'Nagato'.
He had only met him once, but he had left a deep impression on him.
Because of those eyes that he had to pay attention to.
The Samsara Eye...the ultimate power possessed by the legendary Six Paths Immortal.
Together with the Sharingan and Byakugan, it is one of the three major pupil techniques.
"Hanzo-sama."
I was interrupted from thinking.
Kanzang's voice rang in his ears.
Hanzo looked up and saw murderous intent coming from the front along the cold rain.
On a high cliff, a figure stood in the rain.
Chiyo, senior advisor to Sunagakure.
The strongest puppet master of Sunagakure who has assisted two generations of Kazekages.
The moment their eyes met, Hanzo understood that this fight was inevitable.
The Kingdom of Rain has no retreat.
There was no way out for him.
Hanzo clenched the scythe in his hand, and at this moment, his heart calmed down.
Sure enough, as an old man from the old era, he must set a heroic example for the young people who come after him.
Tear apart the hypocritical peace created by the great powers!
