Chapter 58: The Rain of Blood (1)
"Oh no, Jiraiya-sama!"
A Konoha Shinobi was about to rest when he suddenly barged in.
Jiraiya paused, straightened up the clothes on his body, and asked the Konoha people, "Don't worry, what happened?" ”
Konoha Nakashinobu looked anxious, 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 face changed, and he hurriedly took the letter and opened it to see that the situation was really as Konoha Nakashinobu said.
The letter probably meant that he wanted to act on his own and rescue his companion Nohara Rin, who had been captured by the enemy, and hoped that he, the commander, would allow it.
It's a prelude.
"Damn! What a messy Uchiha kid! Wouldn't he think about the consequences of doing so? ”
Jiraiya sighed with a headache.
This is a time of war, and if you leave the barracks without the permission of your superiors, you will be directly disposed of as a defector ninja.
Moreover, Obito is still the identity of the Uchiha clan.
You must know that many ninjas in Konoha are quite dissatisfied with the Uchiha clan now, and if this matter is stabbed, the situation of the Uchiha clan will be even more difficult.
Maybe the momentum that is not easy to recover will be affected by the soil alone.
Moreover, there is one more thing that makes Jiraiya very annoyed.
Obito is a student of his disciple Shuimen, and if Obito leaves the camp without authorization under the order, doesn't it mean that his disciple Shuimen is not restrained?
This lowers the opinion of Watergate.
Even the subordinates of the middle ninja can't be restrained, even if there is a reason for it, it can be regarded as a stain.
Moreover, he vaguely felt that arranging Obito under the command of the Water Gate was deliberately done by his teacher Sarutobi Hichi, in order to appease and win over the Uchiha clan.
This kid seems to be insignificant, but in fact he has a huge role.
"What now, Jiraiya-sama?"
Now the camp does not allow ninjas below the rank of upper ninja to be dispatched, let alone take the soil as a middle ninja, or leave the camp without an order, which is to flout the rules of the Konoha war.
"Don't make a noise about this matter for now, I'll send someone to deal with it."
"Yes."
As a close confidant of Jiraiya, Konoha Nakaya also knew that this matter had a bad impact.
And the person concerned is also a member of the Uchiha clan, and his identity is too sensitive.
After Konoha endured it, Jiraiya didn't have the heart to rest, so he walked out of the tent directly, summoned the appropriate Shinobi to attack, and forcibly brought the Uchiha back with the soil.
"Really, are the patrolmen guarding outside blind?"
Jiraiya complained.
Although it is a Uchiha boy who has awakened the Sharingan, he will not wait for someone to leave before realizing that something is wrong.
This is all to blame for the defection, which caused the number of Hyuga ninjas to appear on the battlefield now to be smaller than usual, and the vigilance ability is much less than before.
Some of them were taken out by the water gate to monitor the movement of Iwain.
We must keep this matter down and not let more people know about it.
Zilai is not stupid, and when the matter is revealed, some people will inevitably make a fuss about it, especially the old guy in Tuanzang.
Now I won't come to trouble in wartime, and I will definitely bring this matter up after the war, so that the village leaders and the Uchiha clan will be on fire again.
When it comes to running and manipulating the Uchiha clan, the ninja is never soft.
◎
Lynn, where are you?
Obito ran anxiously through the forest in the dark night, with only Lin's thoughts on it.
As for the rules, he has been thrown out of the nine heavens and completely ignored them.
It took three days to find out the patrol route of the Konoha camp, and Obito directly started to act tonight without hesitation, even if he was alone, to rescue Rin from the hands of the enemy.
He had a gut feeling that Lynn wasn't dead yet, that she was locked up somewhere.
Now Lin alone must be very afraid, as long as he thinks of such a thing, Obito's heart is full of the urge to tear the enemy to pieces.
Unforgivable!
I don't know how long it has been, but Obito, who was running in the forest, suddenly noticed something, and suddenly stopped his body moving forward, staring ahead with his red double-hooked jade writing wheel eyes.
A figure stood tall in front of him, blocking the path of the earth.
"That's it, Uchiha imp, 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 a nervous look, he recognized the person in front of him, it was a shinobi of Konoha, good at using earth and water, and his physical skills were also quite good, in a sense, it was the type that Obito was not good at dealing with.
Under the pressure of Shangnin's momentum, Obito could only gasp, pursed his mouth tightly and did not speak, and the writing wheel eyes stared at him vigilantly.
"Don't you want to speak? Give up, even if you awaken the writing wheel, you won't be my opponent, at most it's a little troublesome. I don't want to fight the ninjas of my village, even if I don't like you Uchiha. ”
Konoha sighed.
But his advice didn't seem to have much effect, and the look in Obito's eyes was unwavering.
Even the powerful Shangnin couldn't stop him from saving Lin.
"It seems that there is no way to negotiate, sorry, time is limited, I am going to use violence against you."
After being silent for a moment, and seeing Obito's resolute expression, he knew that this little ghost could not penetrate with words, and could only make him obey through rough means.
As he spoke, he disappeared from the spot, appearing behind Obito in an instant, swinging his knife at the back of Obito's neck.
Obito dodged sideways, and his body dodged to the side, barely dodging the sneak attack of this Konoha Shinobi.
This Konoha Shinobi was slightly surprised, this kid seemed to be a little interesting.
"It's true that Sharingan can see my movements, but whether I can avoid them is another matter...... I underestimate you, so let's increase the intensity a little more. ”
Make a seal with both hands, and finally clasp your hands together.
"Turbulence, Pillar Prison!"
One by one, the stone pillars quickly protruded from the feet of Obito, and Obito was startled, and hurriedly retreated, flashing the stone pillars that protruded from his feet.
Then these stone pillars seem to have a tracking nature, and when the soil retreats there, the stone pillars will protrude from somewhere, blocking the movement of the soil.
Taking advantage of Obito's attention being attracted by the stone pillar under his feet, Shangnin's feet immediately gathered a large number of chakras, and a puddle of water traces emerged, which was the Water Escape Water Instantaneous Technique, which flashed behind Obito in an instant, more quickly and silently than the initial instantaneous technique.
"Ahh
Obito screamed in pain, and was hit in the back by this Konoha Shinobu with his palm.
A mouthful of blood spat out of his mouth, and his body rolled to the ground in embarrassment.
But he still stared at Konoha Shinobi with his writing wheel eyes.
Konoha Kamishinobu was careful not to look at Obito's writing wheel.
As a member of Konoha Kamishinobi, he had also worked with Uchiha ninjas before, and he knew how powerful these eyes were.
Illusions based on the Sharingan can only take effect when the gaze is met, so the best way to fight the Sharingan Ninja is to avoid the gaze.
Of course, fighting away from the line of sight means that the enemy has the upper hand. If you can't observe the enemy's whole body, your body's judgment during battle will be reduced.
But this is a disadvantage that only appears in the battle of ninjas of the same level.
And Obito's strength is obviously not strong enough to fight with the upper ninja.
Therefore, even if he doesn't observe all of Obito's actions, as a shinobi, he can take advantage of the gap in strength and experience to defeat Obito.
Thankfully, this is an Uchiha fledgling with outstretched wings.
Obito gritted his teeth and stepped back.
Very strong and cautious.
From the beginning of the battle, the other party has not looked at his writing wheels.
With his excellent experience and strength, the other party completely crushed him with a writing wheel.
Obito was not discouraged in the slightest, he was well aware of the gap between the middle ninja and the upper ninja.
This gap is difficult to make up even with the use of writing wheels. In the previous battle alone, he had gone all out, and the other party still looked at ease.
But can't go back here!
You have to get through this blockade.
"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"
After rigorous training, the Fire Escape Ninjutsu released is naturally not a power that ordinary ninjas can achieve.
But this kind of big opening and closing trick, in the eyes of this Konoha Shinobi, there are still a lot of flaws.
Although it is a ninja who has awakened the Sharingan, it will take a long time to fully grow up.
A wall of water rises in front of you, extinguishing the fireball in a surging motion.
"The heat is good, but it's best not to underestimate Shinobi."
After fighting with Obito until now, there is no dust on his body, but he looks down on Obito from above with a high-minded attitude.
This is a gap that cannot be bridged.
This point is well known to the earth.
"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"
"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"
"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"
The range is too large to be easy to dodge, so this Konoha Shinobi also sent a water escape ninjutsu to extinguish the fire ball with water.
The white mist-like steam spread, and the figure of Obito disappeared from front of him.
"Even if you use ninjutsu to create a mist environment, you can't escape my pursuit, it's just a waste of chakra."
Obito who is so taught by the upper ninja.
If you want to use the contact of water and fire to generate water vapor that obscures your vision, you can escape, which is too much to underestimate the strength of the upper ninja.
Obito disappeared from the misty environment, and Shangnin was not anxious, and calmly looked for Obito's footprints to judge which direction he escaped.
Soon, with excellent judgment, he was able to determine which Obito was fleeing towards, and when he was about to go up in pursuit, a sharp lightning bolt cut through the mist.
As soon as the Konoha Shinobi turned his head, he lost consciousness and fell to the ground, his body still convulsing.
Looking at Konoha Kamishinobi, who had been paralyzed by thunder and lightning to the point of coma, the short figure that appeared in the mist glanced at it, and immediately disappeared, looking for the footprints of Obito to chase over.
Not long after, two more figures appeared, and when they saw someone unconscious on the ground, they immediately went up to check.
"Hey, Ueno, what's wrong with you? Wake up. ”
Konoha who had fallen to the ground woke up groggily and saw two familiar faces.
He is a fellow ninja in Konoha Village.
"Why are you lying here? What about Uchiha Obito? ”
One of them asked.
Ueno Shinobu smiled bitterly, touched the part of his body that was paralyzed by thunder and lightning, and said, "It's careless, young people nowadays are really not to be underestimated." ”
"Isn't it, is that Uchiha Obito so strong?"
"It's not him, it's Kakashi's little imp, Sakumo's son."
After listening to Ueno's words, the eyes of the two companions widened.
"He's the same as Uchiha Obito, he's also a middle ninja, right?"
"yes, to be able to approach me silently and knock me out just right, even if it's caused by me...... But in a head-on fight, I may not be able to defeat him. ”
Ueno shook his head.
"Has it grown to this extent?"
"It's a matter of course, he graduated from the ninja school at the age of five, and became a middle ninja at the age of six, the son of Konoha White Fang, and the proud student of Yellow Shopping...... Eleven-year-old Shangnin, it's not a thing anymore. ”
Ueno Kamishinobu sighed.
"So what now?"
"Catch up. It's not just Uchiha Obito, but even Kakashina...... Really. Even though it's to rescue his companions, it's too chaotic. ”
Ueno Shinobu got up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, and continued to chase forward with his two companions.
◎
After dealing with Obito's whereabouts, Kakashi used the Shadow Clone Technique to separate two clones, one of which began to seal again, using the Transformation Technique to disguise himself as Obito.
"I've left it to you."
Kakashi's body said.
The two doppelgangers nodded, vanished from their spots, and left in the other direction.
When the two doppelgangers left, Kakashi bit his fingers and slapped his palms on the ground.
"Psychics!"
With a puff of white smoke drifting by, a small ninja dog dressed in blue and wearing a Konoha forehead guard appeared on the ground.
"Yo, Kakashi, long time no see."
The ninja dog lifted one of his forelimbs and greeted Kakashi familiarly.
"Needless to say, Parker, just catch up with Obito and go all the way in this direction."
Kakashi pointed in one direction.
"Obito? That Uchiha's imp? ”
A psychic ninja named Parker remembers who Obito is.
"Yes."
"I don't understand what's going on, but I'll leave it to me."
With that, Parker disappeared from where he was, following the route Kakashi had given him.
When Parker left, Kakashi pulled out a scroll from his ninja bag, glanced around, and muttered in a low voice:
"Well, I'm going to have to get ready......"
◎
No one caught up?
Obito glanced behind him and found that there were no Konoha ninjas chasing after him, and he couldn't help but feel strange.
But Obito didn't think much about it, compared to Konoha's pursuers, the most important thing for him now was to rescue Rin.
Just as he was moving on, his head suddenly sank, and something jumped on his head.
"It's me."
Jumping onto Obito is a small psychic beast, Kakashi's ninja dog Parker.
The voice...... Ah, you're Kakashi's ......"
Obito remembered who the owner of the voice was.
In the past, when Kakashi pursued the enemy, he would summon various breeds of ninja dogs, which had a very powerful ability to hunt and track.
"I'm Parker, and Kakashi asked me to help you. Is there anything you can do? ”
Parker gets straight to the point.
"What, Kakashi, I'm worried about Rin too......"
The corners of Obito's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a happy smile.
"Lynn? Is that the little girl? ”
Parker asked, tilting his head.
"Yes, Lynn was captured by the enemy a few days ago, and I am going to save her from the enemy now."
Obito said in a firm tone.
"Do you know who did it?"
"Uh...... I guess the Iwakushi ninja did it. ”
"Probably? Where was the little girl arrested? Iwakuin Village? ”
“……”
Obito turned his head around.
Parker jumped onto Obito's shoulder, sighed, and said, "I finally know why Kakashi asked me to come over, you guy doesn't know anything, so you went over to save people." ”
"Long-winded, I didn't see the enemy that day, how do I know!"
Obito Yoshimasa replied to Parker's question.
"Do you have that little girl's belongings on you?"
Parker spoke.
"What for?"
Bandai turned his head to stare at Parker like a thief.
"Of course, it's to smell the smell, as long as it doesn't take more than a week and it doesn't rain on the way, I can track down the little girl by the smell."
Obito then remembered Parker's skills, so he stopped and took out a pink and white belt from his ninja bag.
"What is this?"
Parker stared at Obito with suspicious eyes.
"Ahem, this is Lynn's belt."
Parker, staring.
"What do you think I'm doing? It's just a belt that Lynn accidentally broke a few days ago, and I picked it up from the trash can because I didn't want to waste it...... That's what you think! Hum! ”
Obito's face turned red.
"Perverted."
Parker spat out two words.
"You have to take care of it! Be careful that I slaughter you and eat dog meat! ”
Obito was furious.
"Got it...... By the way, are you unrequited love? ”
Poof!
Obito seemed to feel that a knife had been inserted into his heart, and then he pulled it out bloodily, which was very painful.
This obnoxious dog.
Just like its owner, Kakashi.
"Nonsense! I'll confess to Lynn right away! ”
"Isn't that unrequited love?"
"I'm going to kill you!"
Obito gritted his teeth.
Parker smiled, put away his teasing thoughts, sniffed Lynn's belt, and memorized the smell.
Obito nervously asked, "How, how, can you find Rin's location?" ”
"Although the smell on the road is faint, I was able to find my way."
"Can you really find it?"
Obito was a little skeptical.
You know, it's been days.
"Of course, I can't find the usual method, but I have the ability to perceive, and I have an extremely large range of perception. And ......"
"And?"
"There is a smell similar to that of a belt on the road, and the route is relatively complete."
"Really?"
"Don't worry, you'll find it."
"Oh...... Well? It's ......."
Obito suddenly found something in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Parker questioned.
"That."
Obito pointed to somewhere, it was a strand of hair tied to the grass.
"It's Lynn's hair! You see, it's exactly the same hair color as Lynn! ”
Obito was 100% sure and looked happy.
Parker: "......"
Just by the color of the hair, you can tell who the owner is, this little ghost...... It's not an ordinary pervert!
But Parker also knew why he was able to accurately perceive the complete route.
Because within his sense of smell, at intervals, there are similar smells like this, forming a complete route that can be traced.
"It seems that the direction is right, Lin must have stayed here, taking advantage of the enemy's inattention to deliberately leave traces and wait for rescue. Worthy of the person I fancied. ”
Obito clenched his fists, and hope sprouted in his eyes.
"I hope so."
Parker sighed, always feeling that the aura of conspiracy was getting stronger and stronger, and it was really a shame that this little ghost was still smirking unconsciously, how big his heart was.
Leaving a signal that even stupid people can understand, this kind of thing is weird no matter how you look at it.
Of course, it is also possible that the little girl named Lin is really clever and leaves a signal for others to rescue.
"Then let's chase it, but I said in advance, I don't have the ability to fight, can I leave the rescue work to you?"
"Of course, bet on the glory of the Konoha Uchiha clan!"
Obito helped the ninja Konoha on his forehead, revealing a confident smile.
"Follow me."
Parker is in front.
"Wait, that's not the direction of the land country."
Obito said.
"Who told you you're going to the Land of Earth next? Judging by the route that the smell indicates, we are going in that direction. After another three kilometers in this direction, you can see where the next strand is. ”
Parker lifted one foreleg and pointed in one direction.
Obito was surprised.
"That direction is ......"
◎
Thundered.
A huge cavern seemed to have cracked in the gray sky, and raindrops the size of beans poured down from the cavern, clattering and forming a crisscrossing channel of water across the earth.
The sound of the wind was mixed with the roar of thunder.
One lightning bolt after another pierced the darkness and illuminated the heavens and the earth.
With the thunder, the rain seemed to be getting heavier and more intense.
Nearly a thousand rain ninjas under Hanzo's leadership began to march.
Staring at the torrential rain like a rain of arrows, the expression on everyone's face was different.
Scared, nervous, excited, bloodthirsty.
This information can be read from their expressions.
But none of them flinched.
Last night, each of them wrote their last words and left them to their loved ones, lovers, children, and friends......
Leave everything behind and go to the battlefield.
Fight for your own village, for the country.
In the past, there was no concept of a ninja village in the country of rain, and all the ninjas in this country were authentic people of the country of rain.
In order to resist, in order to make the country peaceful, he went through a bloody storm and established Ninja Village.
They love a country that is falling apart.
Lightning shines and whitens the earth.
The troops of the Rain Hidden Ninja marched solemnly.
Hanzo is at the front of the line.
Today is the day to make an agreement with Konoha to launch a general attack on Shayin.
But his mind was not set on the battlefield.
Because he was afraid.
Fear of death.
The undefeated legend of the fear of losing a demigod.
Fear of losing the supreme power of Yuyin Village.
Fear that you won't be able to protect your family.
Afraid......
In short, he has a lot of reasons for being scared and a lot of regrets that he wants to accomplish.
Don't want to die...... I don't want to fight.
But now that the decision has been made, he can't afford to retreat.
Because once you retreat, you will be ruined. It's more terrible than death.
remembered the old man Fang Zhu he met before, because he saved his life thirty years ago, Fang Zhu contributed the only food in the village to him as the village head, regardless of the opposition of the whole village.
Because he is half-hidden...... He is a great hero admired by thousands of people in the Land of Rain.
This belief in heroes has remained unwavering for 30 years.
Hanzo thought of those who hadn't left the Land of Rain yet, and was there anyone like Fang Zhu in it, who couldn't bear to turn his back on his country?
Although I have vague memories of these and can't remember everyone's names, the people he saved are unforgettable memories.
In the end, Hanzo also thought of the red-haired boy named 'Nagato'.
A young man who had only met once, but was deeply impressed by him.
Because of those eyes that had to be taken seriously.
Reincarnation Eye ...... The ultimate power possessed by the legendary Six Dao Immortals.
It is listed as one of the three major pupil techniques along with the writing wheel eye and the white eye.
"Hanzo-sama."
Interrupted to think.
Kanzo's voice rang in his ears.
Hanzo looked up, and the murderous aura was coming from the cold rain in front of him.
On a cliff high up, a figure stood in the rain.
Chiyo, a senior advisor to the sand hide.
The strongest puppeteer of the Sand Hidden who has assisted two generations of Wind Shadows.
The moment the eyes met, Hanzo understood that this fight was inevitable.
The Land of Rain has no way back.
There was no way back.
Hanzo clenched the scythe in his hand, and at this moment, his heart calmed down.
Sure enough, as an old man in the old era, he must always set a heroic example for the young people who come after.
Tear apart the hypocritical peace created by the great powers!
