Outside the cave.
Kakashi and Rin felt a dizzying sensation, then found themselves in a different location.
"Veigar, you..."
The Flying Raijin Technique.
Kakashi realized that Veigar, who had saved him and Rin, had used the Flying Raijin Technique he had seen Minato use.
"Obito, Obito he..."
Having narrowly escaped death, Rin looked at the completely collapsed cave, instantly collapsing to the ground and weeping in agony.
Rin's cries brought Kakashi back to his senses.
"Veigar, thank you for saving me and Rin."
At this moment, Kakashi, also grieving internally, forced himself to be strong and thanked Veigar.
Then, he turned to Rin and said:
"Rin, get up."
"I'll live on for Obito's sake."
"I'll use the eye he gave me to see this world properly."
After speaking, Kakashi touched his left eye, silently thinking:
"Obito, rest assured!"
"I will protect Rin for you."
The next second, Kakashi's expression suddenly changed. He said:
"Enemies are coming!"
Hearing this, Rin's face also changed, and she instantly stood up from the ground.
"Oh no, we're surrounded."
The vigilant Kakashi clearly saw the ninjas appearing around them, and the invisible pressure made his heart sink.
Facing nearly thirty Iwa-nin troops.
How would they escape?
"Just a few brats?"
"You actually killed Kouka?"
"But this is as far as you go!"
The Iwa-nin leading this vanguard Iwa-nin unit was named Sumashi. His objective was to seize control of the Kannabi Bridge.
"Capture them and extract information."
"This mission cannot fail."
The Iwa-nin's voice came from all directions.
Rin Nohara's heart was racing, her palms drenched in sweat. Kakashi was also contemplating a strategy.
"What do we do? What do we do?"
Kakashi's heart asked itself, feeling a bit frantic.
"Kakashi, Rin."
"Protect yourselves. I'll handle them."
At this moment, Veigar patted Kakashi and Rin's shoulders and said.
The next second, Veigar flipped his hand, and three kunai appeared in his grasp. He then threw them at the surrounding Iwa-nin.
Kunai Shadow Clone Jutsu.
As Veigar made his move, the opposing Iwa-nin scattered, dodging. Hundreds of kunai missed their targets, all scattering on the ground.
Sumashi, as the captain, had easily dodged when he saw Veigar act and was planning to counterattack with Earth Release: Fissure.
"Earth Style: Fis..."
However, his hand was just shy of the ground. Before he could even cast his ninjutsu, his head was severed by a flash of cold light.
One second, less than two seconds!
In the eyes of Kakashi and Rin, and all the Iwa-nin present, they only saw a faint purple flash appear, followed by heads flying into the sky one after another.
Boom.
Veigar's figure reappeared. The heads falling almost simultaneously gave them a tremendous shock.
"V-V-Veigar..."
The stunned Rin stammered.
Just then, a golden flash appeared, and Minato appeared beside Kakashi.
"Veigar?"
"Kakashi, Rin."
"Where's Obito?"
As soon as Minato appeared, he saw Veigar's somewhat familiar back, coupled with the pile of headless corpses on the ground. He could guess what had happened.
However, not knowing that Obito had been captured due to Black Zetsu's scheme, he immediately asked when he didn't see Obito.
"Sensei, Obito, Obito he..."
It was better not to say anything. As soon as she spoke, Rin burst into sorrowful tears.
"Obito, he's dead."
Seeing Rin's tearful agony, Kakashi looked at Minato and said with a heavy heart.
"D-dead?"
"What happened?"
"And Kakashi, what about your eye?"
Hearing the news of Obito's death, Minato's heart clenched, and he asked with a heavy heart.
"Minato-sensei, long time no see."
"As for Obito's death, let's discuss it after this mission is complete!"
At this moment, Veigar also turned around, interrupting Minato's questions.
Looking at Kakashi and Rin beside him, Minato temporarily gave up on probing further.
"In that case."
"Kakashi, Rin."
"Pull yourselves together. I don't think Obito would want to see you like this."
Under Minato's persuasion of love and hope, Kakashi and Rin regained their composure.
At this moment, Kakashi thought:
'Obito, wait for me!'
'I will definitely use this Sharingan to see this world properly.'
At this point, Minato suddenly remembered Veigar standing beside him.
"Veigar, why are you here?"
"Don't you know it's dangerous?"
Immediately, Veigar stood beside Minato and said:
"Sensei, I know."
"However, this time I received orders from the Hokage to assist you in completing the mission."
As he spoke, Veigar took out a mission scroll and handed it to Minato.
Minato read it.
In the mission scroll, Hiruzen's order was for Veigar to destroy the Kannabi Bridge, but the word Veigar spoke was "assist."
Minato immediately understood the meaning of Veigar's words.
He was intentionally letting him take credit for the victory!
"Keep this."
Minato returned the mission scroll to Veigar and said to him:
"Thank you."
Veigar shook his head and said:
"It's what I should do."
"You need it more than I do."
Since there was still a large contingent of Iwa-nin nearby, Minato took Veigar, Kakashi, and Rin away from their current location, searching for a safe place.
Following behind Minato, Kakashi, who was thinking of mercilessly killing to avenge Obito, asked:
"Sensei, where are we going now?"
Minato, with his backpack on, replied without turning his head:
"To find a safe place?"
Immediately, Kakashi's heart grew a bit anxious, and he asked:
"Then, is our mission complete?"
Minato shook his head. Just as he was about to reply, Veigar instantly vanished from his spot.
The next second, Veigar reappeared not far away, holding an Iwa-nin hostage.
"Who are you?"
The Iwa-nin held hostage was not a Chunin or Genin, but a Jonin.
But precisely because Magiri was a Jonin, Veigar inadvertently exposed the fact that he possessed immense strength.
Instantly defeating a Jonin was no problem at all.
