Obito was stunned by the Iwa Ninja, staring blankly as the Kunai lunged towards him.
Just then, a figure descended from the sky, stomping both feet onto the Iwa Ninja's body, forcefully pinning him back to the ground. The short blade in his hand pierced the Iwa Ninja's neck, instantly killing him.
Kakashi then violently threw the short blade in his hand. The blade grazed Obito's head, striking the Iwa Ninja in front of Obito.
Kakashi, with a somewhat sharp tongue, said to Obito, "Hey, you coward, if you're so scared you can't even move, you can hide with Rin. You being a burden like this is really annoying."
After speaking, Kakashi picked up his Ninja blade and rejoined the battle.
Obito had snapped back to reality, clenching his fists tightly. His mind was filled with Kakashi calling him a coward and telling him to hide, feeling extremely unwilling.
"I'm not a coward! I'm Uchiha!"
Obito suddenly burst forth, pulling out his Kunai and charging towards the Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja.
Meanwhile, Kamishiro was already dumbfounded.
That white-haired, masked guy who looked incredibly cool.
And that spiky-haired, goggled guy who looked a bit foolish.
Could these two be Kakashi Hatake and Uchiha Obito?
If it really was them, then...
Oh my god! Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze might also be here.
Danger! Too dangerous! Gotta run fast!
If Minato Namikaze was really here, ten lives wouldn't be enough for him to kill.
Now that no one was guarding him, it was a good chance to escape.
"Damn it, how do you even use that rope release Ninjutsu?!"
Kamishiro wanted to break free from the ropes, but the damn ropes only tightened the more he struggled.
Helpless, Kamishiro could only twist his body, trying to move away from here.
Although he moved very slowly, at least he was moving.
The will to survive transformed Kamishiro into a wriggling creature, frantically squirming on the ground.
On the other side, Kakashi and Obito were surrounded.
The Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja combined totaled ten people. Kakashi had killed four, leaving six.
As for Obito... he was just making things harder for Kakashi.
Obito's sudden burst was only in terms of aura; other aspects hadn't improved at all.
Kakashi and Obito stood back to back, their expressions grim as they faced the Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja.
Obito was sweating profusely from nervousness: "Kakashi, what should we do?"
Kakashi didn't answer Obito, charging directly forward, attempting to break out of the encirclement.
However, the three Sand Ninja directly in front of Kakashi forced him back.
"Quickly kill these two brats, other Konoha Ninja might be on their way here."
"Attack together!"
Just as these six Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja were about to attack Kakashi and Obito together.
At that moment, a uniquely shaped Kunai fell from the sky, embedding itself in the ground in front of Kakashi and Obito.
The next instant.
Minato Namikaze appeared at the location of the Flying Thunder God Kunai.
Seeing Minato Namikaze, the expressions of the six Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja were filled with terror, as they all recognized Minato Namikaze.
"Minato Namikaze? Weren't you fighting the Cloud Ninja in the Land of Hot Water?"
The Iwa Ninja who spoke, his voice cracked with fear.
Minato Namikaze revealed a gentle smile: "As you can see, I am currently in the Land of Rivers. Occasionally, one needs a vacation."
Minato Namikaze's smile, in the eyes of the Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja, was like the smile of the Shinigami.
Although they were from different countries and different Ninja Villages, they all made the same decision.
That was to flee!
Minato Namikaze's moniker, Yellow Flash, was now very well-known throughout the entire Ninja World.
Just a few of them alone could not possibly be a match for Minato Namikaze.
The six instantly scattered and fled. One Iwa Ninja even tried to take Kamishiro with him.
However, Kamishiro, who had transformed into a wriggling creature, had already squirmed into the bushes. The Iwa Ninja couldn't find Kamishiro for a moment and could only abandon the attempt to save himself first.
However, could their escape speed be faster than Minato Namikaze's?
Minato Namikaze pulled out six Flying Thunder God Kunai and simultaneously threw them in the direction of the six Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja.
Subsequently, Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God Technique.
He flashed 'swish swish swish' six times. It was only his yellow hair that let people know Minato Namikaze had moved; if Minato Namikaze had been bald, they might not have even known he had acted.
By the time Minato Namikaze returned to Kakashi and Obito's side, the necks of the six Sand Ninja and Iwa Ninja suddenly gushed blood, and they fell to the ground, losing their lives.
The battle ended effortlessly after Minato Namikaze intervened.
Minato Namikaze first looked at Kakashi, praising him: "Kakashi, this operation was excellent. Your combat was very decisive and clean, and your timing judgments were also very accurate."
Kakashi's eyes were calm, as if saying 'basic operation, no need to be impressed.'
Then Minato Namikaze looked at Obito.
Obito looked at Minato Namikaze with anticipation.
However, Minato Namikaze said sternly: "Obito, your mental fortitude during combat is completely inadequate. When two enemy Ninja charged at you and blocked your Ninjutsu, only one Ninja was left charging at you. You should have noticed this at that time.
In that situation, if you couldn't determine where the vanished Ninja was, you should have prioritized retreating.
However, you didn't notice at all, and even after Rin reminded you, you remained frozen in place. If Kakashi hadn't saved you, you would have died then."
Obito lowered his head somewhat ashamed. With Minato Namikaze saying that, he also felt that his performance was too poor, completely incomparable to Kakashi's.
Minato Namikaze suddenly changed the subject, smiling: "However, Obito, your courage is commendable. You didn't lose your fighting spirit afterward. This mission was originally intended to be a trial for you all. As long as you can grow, then this trip will have been worthwhile."
Obito looked up at Minato Namikaze in surprise, not expecting to receive praise.
Minato Namikaze pointed at Obito's shoulder and said: "Alright, Obito, go find Rin to treat your injury."
Obito looked at his shoulder and only then realized that his shoulder had been cut open and was bleeding.
Obito shouted in Rin Nohara's direction: "Rin, the battle's over, you can come out now! I'm hurt, hurry and treat me, it really hurts!"
Rin Nohara emerged from her hiding spot and immediately came to Obito's side to treat him.
Minato Namikaze said to Kakashi: "Kakashi, search those bodies. I'll go bring him over."
Kakashi nodded: "Yes, Sensei!"
Kamishiro hid in the bushes, not daring to breathe, praying in his heart that they wouldn't find him, wouldn't find him.
However, when that flash of yellow appeared in Kamishiro's eyes, Kamishiro's heart suddenly leaped.
Kamishiro forced a strained smile onto his face: "Uh... hello there. I, I'm just a passing civilian, do you believe me?"
Minato Namikaze raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing Kamishiro's words.
Immediately after.
Kamishiro felt a pain in the back of his neck. In the second before he lost consciousness, Kamishiro cursed inwardly.
Are they sick? Why do they all like to hit the back of his neck?!
