"Rin, you take the client and retreat a bit. Kakashi and I will hold them off." Seeing the Hidden Cloud rushing towards them, Obito quickly said.
Nohara Rin was the weakest among them, so Obito instinctively assigned her a relatively safe task.
Nohara Rin looked at Kakashi, and Kakashi also nodded. It was impossible to only focus on the fight and ignore the client. Having the weakest Nohara Rin watch the client while also assisting in the battle was the best choice at the moment.
With a unified opinion, Nohara Rin led the somewhat frightened client a certain distance back while gathering Chakra, ready to provide support at any time.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Obito quickly formed hand seals, gathering Chakra in his throat and undergoing a fire attribute Chakra nature transformation, spitting out a massive three-meter fireball towards the oncoming Hidden Cloud.
Despite the many drawbacks of the Great Fireball, its low consumption and great power made it a divine technique. In cases where the enemy's details were unknown, using the Great Fireball for a probing attack was the best option.
Whizz, whizz, whizz!!
Kakashi threw a massive number of shuriken, attempting to distract and make it more difficult for them to dodge easily with ninja tools.
The four didn't resist hard but dispersed, each using Instant Body Jutsu to dodge the Great Fireball attack. At the same time, they drew their weapons to deflect Kakashi's shuriken and continued to advance.
"With such maneuvers, none of them are weak," Kakashi exhaled, feeling the pressure.
Although he lacked an Identification Jutsu to directly see through the enemy's Chakra and Ninjutsu, from their response to the attack, Kakashi knew these opponents weren't simple, and none of them were Genin.
However, this was within Kakashi's expectations since they were led by the Candidate for the Raikage.
The last time they encountered the Candidate for the Raikage, just two Hidden Cloud nearly forced them into a desperate situation. If it hadn't been for Might Guy and Obito both breaking their limits, he might not have held out until gaining inner clarity.
Gripping his White Fang Short Blade tightly, Kakashi pondered his strategy.
If Might Guy were his teammate, he would have Obito provide firepower suppression and then charge together with Might Guy.
But now his teammate was Nohara Rin, who obviously lacked the suppressive force like Might Guy to quickly and steadily resolve the enemy. The power of Monster Strength Power was considerable, but it had to hit the target first.
"Let's first see their strength. If there's no Jonin among them, there won't be any problem." As the enemies approached, Kakashi decided to test them first.
"Breath of Thunder, Full Concentration!"
Kakashi inhaled a large amount of oxygen to enhance his physical capabilities. Chakra gathered in his lower body and quickly underwent nature transformation to activate the cells in his legs.
Next, Kakashi charged directly at Motomu, the apparent leader. If the leader wasn't a Jonin, then the others were even less likely to be.
Clang!
Kakashi's White Fang Short Blade clashed with Motomu's sword, producing a loud metallic collision sound.
"Your speed is decent, but still not enough in front of my sensory abilities." Motomu burst with power, pushing Kakashi back, then gathered a large amount of Chakra in his hand, transforming his sword into a Lightning Sword to stab at Kakashi.
Although he was a Perception Ninja, his strength was genuinely that of a Jonin, albeit not outstanding among Jonin.
Just then, a Flaming Kunai flew in, forcing Motomu to abandon his attack and dodge it.
Thanks to the high speed of Breath of Thunder, Kakashi returned to Obito's side with a serious expression and said:
"That leader from Hidden Cloud is probably a Jonin. The other three might be three Chunin, but they could also be other Jonin."
Listening to Kakashi's speculation, Obito felt a headache. He had experienced the strength of a Hidden Cloud Jonin. Even with his two-tomoe Sharingan and Might Guy opening the Second Gate of Eight Gates, the battle was extremely tough.
Having a Jonin was manageable. He and Kakashi working together might not be able to kill them but could hold them off. But if there were three more Chunin, they wouldn't be able to handle it. They couldn't possibly let Nohara Rin fight those three Chunin alone; that obviously wouldn't work.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Obito tried his best to use the Great Fireball to prevent the opposition from getting closer, while continuously retreating.
"The disparity in combat power is too great." Kakashi frantically searched for a solution to the current predicament.
When he thought of the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his Ninja Pouch and Minato, who was currently battling with the Raikage Candidate, Kakashi thought of the only possible solution.
Even though relying on others wasn't ideal, Minato was the only one Kakashi could think of to resolve this crisis.
Just then, Kakashi noticed Minato looking over. Minato had been waiting for an opportunity. Meeting each other's gaze, Kakashi decided to trust Minato.
Kakashi took out the Flying Thunder God Kunai and shot it towards Motomu.
Since the Kunai was thrown by Kakashi, Motomu didn't pay much attention to it and didn't notice the Flying Thunder God Jutsu on it. He sidestepped it, intending to press forward.
Whoosh!
Minato used the Flying Thunder God to appear behind Motomu, stabbing him with the Flying Thunder God Kunai. Then he grabbed Motomu and left a Flying Thunder God Mark on him, throwing him towards the Fourth A.
The Fourth A didn't expect Kakashi to have a Flying Thunder God Kunai. He warily stared at Minato, quickly catching Motomu and pulling out the Flying Thunder God Kunai, discarding it, and had a Hidden Cloud Ninja heal him.
For the Fourth A, his unit had two people he cared about deeply. The first was Killer Bee, who, though not a biological brother, was closer than a real one. The second was Motomu, a very rare sensory talent and extremely loyal to him.
