Chapter 21: Captured
The sky was raining lightly and the roads were muddy. Under these conditions, it was easy to leave footprints and be discovered by the enemy, so Kakashi and Obito found a rock hole in the mountains, where they took refuge for a while.
In order to prevent being discovered by the enemy, Kakashi and Obito did not dare to make a fire to keep warm, even though they were already soaked and the cold wind of the night was very biting, although their faces were a little blue from the cold, they still showed a calm and endurance that did not match their age.
An hour later, the rain fell even heavier, and the continuous rain had an aura as if it would not stop until it was drowned.
"Obito, how is your body?"
"Wait a little longer, the chakra will be consumed a lot more than expected."
Hearing this, Kakashi subconsciously swept his eyes to the soil, and the other party's faintly glowing red pupils were looking ahead. The unexpected consumption of chakra probably had something to do with these eyes, Kakashi thought.
In this kind of forest, the whereabouts of the enemy can appear anywhere, and Obito has always been cautious and cautious in doing things, so he continues to open the writing wheel eye without interruption. While it is true that the ability to see the enemy's chakra is very convenient, it is even more advantageous than the white eye under some conditions. However, the relative chakra consumption is too great.
Obito's age is still less than 10 years old, and if it weren't for the fact that his chakra was naturally different from ordinary people, he would probably be very reluctant to maintain the writing wheel eye of the three hooks. And I used that level of compound ninjutsu before and consumed a lot of chakra, and now I should be very reluctant to even use C-level ninjutsu......
However, upon closer inspection, Kakashi found that not only was the amount of chakra in Obito unusual, but even his recovery speed was very fast. If you have to describe it, it is as if there are two people cultivating at the same time, and the abundant chakra that is almost overflowing from the body is really amazing.
And now it's less than two hours before that battle is over......
Kakashi looked outside a little more, and saw that the view ahead was completely obscured by the rain, and since it was almost morning, a mist of water would automatically form in the morning to reduce the risk of exposure. So Kakashi also took this opportunity to close his eyes slightly and let his body rest a little.
Lei Dun. Rekai's living technique is also a very chakra-consuming ninjutsu, and Kakashi's chakra amount and recovery power are far less than Obito's perverts that surpass the common sense of ninjas, so he can only recover little by little like ordinary ninjas.
At this time, Obito on the side had already recovered, and when he stood up, he had swept away his previous tired posture, and his body was full of extremely energetic chakra.
"Kakashi, I'll warn you to rest next."
"Hmm...... Then it's up to you. ”
After the two of them switched shifts, Kakashi walked deeper into the cave and sat down. After a while, I fell asleep. It's not that Kakashi is too weak, it's that Thunder Escape. The consumption of the Living Technique was far beyond the limits of what he could afford at his age. Moreover, it was originally the S-level blessed ninjutsu used in the heyday of Konoha White Fang, and the Lei Kai technique of Thunder Shadow was of the same level. Kakashi mastered this ninjutsu with his own talent and hard work, which is remarkable in its own right. Of course, it's still a little inferior to Obito.
- Wind Escape. The art of the Shadow Clone of the Wind. ”
A cloud of smoke came out of the right hand side of Obito, and a "Obito" with some transparency came out.
Since it is possible to make the technique of bursting the shadow clone with the fire escape, it is impossible to develop the shadow clone technique of the wind escape series with the talent of the soil. In addition, the three systems of wind, fire and thunder themselves are good attributes to the soil, so in addition to wind and fire, there is naturally a thunder escape. The art of thunder clone.
"—go ahead."
After Obito gave the order, the shadow clone sprang out with a single step. He is as fast as the wind as his name, and can tell if an enemy is nearby based on the flow of wind around him. Unlike the Burst Shadow Clone, which aims to kill, the Tempest Shadow Clone is a shadow clone whose primary goal is reconnaissance.
The shadow clone will not disappear as long as it is not attacked, Obito used this characteristic to make a Storm Shadow clone and order it to explore forward, and then when it reaches a certain distance or finds that it may be detected by the enemy, it immediately dismisses itself, so as to minimize the possibility of him and Kakashi being spotted and detect outside information.
Hours passed......
- Well, the moment I opened my eyes, I was shrouded in a dazzling light, and my body still felt a little warm.
Kakashi sat up, a warm touch coming from his palm pressed against the dirt.
Looking up at the place where the light was emitting, it turned out that it was a lit fire that illuminated the cave, and at the same time warmed the originally cold cave.
My body was still a little stiff, but I felt much more comfortable after standing up and moving my whole body with a crackling sound.
At this time, Obito, who was sitting by the campfire, looked over.
“…… Awake? “
"Well, how long have I been asleep?"
"Three hours and fifteen minutes, and in two hours it will be noon."
Kakashi opened his mouth to say something when a "gurgling" sound suddenly came from his abdomen. Subconsciously clutching his stomach, Kakashi thought that he didn't seem to have eaten since yesterday, no wonder he felt so tired.
Obito glanced at the sound of the voice, and at this time, the writing wheel eyes in the eye sockets had faded, and they had changed back to the pair of pure black complex and bright eyes.
"Eat this, even if it doesn't taste good."
Obito casually threw a small bag over.
Smack, Kakashi reached out and caught it.
"This is...... Soldier food pills? “
Kakashi asked in a somewhat confused and uncertain tone. There is nothing wrong with this purple and red pill in his hand, but it is much lighter than ordinary soldier food pills, and the color is more complicated. Ordinary soldier food pills are all black and autumnal, and the ones given by the soil are obviously much more precious.
Obito himself took out a bag containing the same Soldier Rations Pill as for Kakashi.
Take one out and swallow it, and slowly you will feel the stomach gradually bulging, and the hunger will quickly subside.
"This is a special weapon pill, because even within the Uchiha clan, I belong to a very different existence, so whether it is a weapon or armor, or this kind of thing, it must be specially customized. Moreover, this kind of soldier food pill is more effective than ordinary ones, and it is basically enough to eat one a day. “
Kakashi didn't hesitate to pick one up and put it in his mouth, but he regretted it a little as soon as he took it. Although the ordinary soldier food pill is not very good, at least it is neither bitter nor spicy. And this kind of special soldier food pill melts in the mouth, and it is bitter and spicy, making people feel like they want to breathe fire out of their mouths.
"Hmm......"
His face contorted to resist the feeling of vomiting, and Kakashi looked at Obito with angry eyes as he finished eating.
- You already knew this was going to happen, right!?
Kakashi's resentful gaze revealed such information.
- Huh? What are you referring to?
Obito asked back with a very innocent look, but the slightly curled corners of his mouth completely betrayed himself.
"Cut, it's a hassle for a vindictive guy."
"Thanks for the compliment, white-haired fox."
The two stared at each other and didn't say a word.
Until unconsciously, I don't know who laughed first
The two of them chuckled at the same time and nodded to each other.
"So, what's next?"
Kakashi walked over to the fire and sat down at Obito's motion.
"I sent a shadow clone to find out the surrounding environment and intelligence, and in a few moments my clone will reach the limit of 15 kilometers, and if it continues to go on, it will be beyond my sensing range."
"15 km?!"
Seeing the other party's serious expression, Kakashi couldn't help but sigh again at the precision of Obito's control of ninjutsu.
"My doppelganger went straight diagonally from north to west, encountering nearly seven waves of patrols along the way, and as we got closer to the hinterland, there were more and more of them."
Obito said as he looked at Kakashi. The biggest advantage of the Wind Shadow Clone is that it can transmit information in real time, which has an inseparable relationship with the "Eye of the Wind" made by Obito using Wind Escape. Of course, this ninjutsu was formed with reference to the Eye of the Sand of Ai Luo more than ten years later. However, Obito combined this ninjutsu with the Wind Escape Clone Technique, and the expansion of the domain was much stronger than that of Ai Luo at that time.
"Judging from the direction in which the defense gets closer and closer the closer we get, Kakashi, I feel like we've found a terrible stronghold."
"So what do we do? Do you want to retreat first and contact Mr. Watergate? “
"Of course, I'm personally more ......!!?"
Obito's body suddenly trembled, and the whole person froze.
"Obito? What's wrong with Obito!? “
Kakashi's brow furrowed suddenly, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Sure enough, when Obito came back to his senses, his face had become gloomy, and the red color that had just receded resurfaced on his eyes again.
For a long time, Obito said in a cold voice.
"My shadow clone...... Just now he was killed by a man with a huge weapon on his back. And it is also in the range of more than a hundred meters away. He just looked at it and crushed my doppelganger into pulp in an instant. I'm afraid the enemy is a type similar to manipulating gravity. “
Judging by the information that came from the doppelganger before it died, and the feeling that it passed to the main body after disappearing. The enemy should have blocked all the space near the clone in an instant, created a "vacuum"-like field to completely trap the clone, and then manipulated the atmosphere or gravity to shoot objects in the "vacuum" circle to death.
But that's not the most troublesome.
What really made Obito's face so gloomy was a blonde man wearing an ankle bracelet who was escorted back by that man...... Wave Wind Water Gate!
"What?! Has Mr. Watergate been arrested?! “
"Ah...... But I guess that was part of Watergate's plan. Otherwise, with his ability, there is no possibility of being captured alive. Presumably, he's planning something. Obito also said with some uncertainty.
I looked down and thought about it, but I couldn't think of a reason why Watergate did it.
"Don't worry about it, we have to save Mr. Watergate. Even if he can't be saved, he can't just fall into the hands of the enemy! “
Obito nodded, it is true that the importance of Mr. Watergate is beyond the responsibility of the two of them, so no matter whether they live or die, they can't let such an important person fall into the hands of the enemy.
