Chapter 214 Obito: Who says unleashing Kamui isn't Kamui?
In the scene, the group is already traveling quickly through the forest, with Minato Namikaze leading the way, followed closely by Obito and Rin.
Rin lightly stepped forward on the branches, her profile serene and focused, causing Obito's gaze to linger on her for a long time.
Whenever he realized he had lost focus, Obito would quickly look away, but his heart would still pound uncontrollably.
Following closely behind Obito and Rin was Yahiko, with Nagato and Konan flanking him on either side.
All three wore headbands with the Konoha insignia on their foreheads.
Their expressions were much calmer than when they first arrived in Konoha. Clearly, after the baptism of the last mission, the team's tacit understanding and confidence had improved.
At the back of the group, Kakashi remained on alert, covering the rear.
The only sounds in the woods were the rustling of footsteps as people passed through the branches and the occasional fluttering of birds startled into flight.
Not long ago, Minato Namikaze briefly explained the purpose of this operation to everyone.
Intelligence indicates that a small group of Iwa ninja has circled around to the border of the Land of Fire, attempting to create chaos.
Konoha dispatched a squad led by Minato Namikaze to investigate the situation and repel the enemy.
Under his leadership, the group moved quickly, approaching the target area.
"The objective of this mission is to repel these Iwa ninja who have invaded the border. The primary goal is to drive them away, and we should try to avoid prolonged battles."
The sound of the water gate reached everyone's ears.
Upon hearing that the mission was related to the ninjas of Iwagakure, Obito's initial excitement subsided, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Hidden Rock Village.
This name is particularly sensitive to him.
After all, in reality, Rin's first kidnapping was done by ninjas from Iwagakure.
Thinking back to those times, a shadow fell over Obito's heart.
A scene from his memory flashed through his mind.
During that mission, the real-life Kakashi insisted on following the rules and giving up on Rin until he was snapped out of his daze by Kakashi's scolding.
Obito secretly glanced at Kakashi at the back of the group.
At that moment, Kakashi was focused on guarding his surroundings and didn't notice Obito's unusual behavior at all.
Startled by that glare, Kakashi inexplicably turned back to him, looking puzzled, wondering what Obito was up to now.
Seeing this, Obito pursed his lips, shifted his gaze back to the front, and didn't say anything more.
At this moment, Nohara Rin quietly approached Obito during a break in their journey.
She grabbed Obito's sleeve, lowered her voice, and whispered, "Obito, where did you go last night? You came back so late..."
Obito was taken aback for a moment, then a mysterious and smug smile appeared on his lips: "Hehe, yesterday, I went to practice my ultimate technique!"
"Lin, just you wait and see! I'll unleash my full power in a moment! I guarantee you'll be amazed!"
Rin's eyes widened slightly, and she looked Obito up and down in surprise: "Really?"
"Don't push yourself too hard - don't be reckless, Kakashi is here after all."
"snort!"
Obito sensed the underlying meaning in Rin's words, and his smug expression froze.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Does Lin not trust him?
Or do I trust Kakashi more?
A bitter feeling welled up in Obito's heart.
On the one hand, Lin's concern for him made him very happy, and he wished he could immediately pat his chest and assure her that nothing would happen to him.
On the other hand, Rin's subconscious belief that Kakashi's presence would ensure everything was foolproof made him unable to hold back his tears.
Obito's stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat were completely ignited.
"Rin, just you wait." Obito clenched his fists tightly, lowering his voice seriously, "This time I'll definitely make you look at me in a new light!"
After he finished speaking, seeing that Lin was about to try to persuade him again, he took two steps ahead without saying another word and caught up with the pace of the group.
Rin watched Obito's slightly impatient back and couldn't help but sigh softly.
She had no choice but to quicken her pace and keep up closely with Obito.
A short while later, Minato was the first to stop, raising his hand in a warning gesture: "Stop!"
The group immediately understood and scattered, hiding in the shadows of the surrounding bushes.
Obito didn't dare to be negligent either, and together with Rin, they slipped and crouched behind a thick tree branch.
Looking in the direction indicated by the water gate, wisps of smoke could be faintly seen rising from the sky not far ahead.
Against the backdrop of the tranquil forest, the wisp of grayish-white smoke stood out conspicuously.
Kakashi narrowed his eyes and whispered, "There seem to be signs of a camp ahead."
Minato nodded and lowered his voice to remind everyone, "Be careful. According to intelligence, the enemy should only be a small team, but we can't let our guard down."
Obito hid among the dense foliage, peeking out to carefully observe the terrain of the valley ahead.
He saw several tents nestled in the low-lying valley, with wisps of smoke rising from them.
However, a rough count revealed that there were at least seven or eight tents there!
Obito felt a chill run down his spine: the intelligence report only mentioned a "small group" of Iwa ninja, but what he saw before him was more like a small outpost, far exceeding his expectations.
Watergate also noticed this anomaly.
He raised an eyebrow and pondered, "The number of people doesn't match the intelligence—*Perhaps the enemy has reinforcements and has temporarily set up camp here."
From within the bushes, Yahiko asked in a low voice, "Minato-senpai, what do we do now?"
Minato Namikaze thought for a moment and then decisively said, "I'll dive over and scout the situation first."
He then turned to the crowd and said, "You shall remain here and await further instructions. Do not act rashly."
The team members nodded in agreement.
Minato added, "Kakashi, you'll be in charge while I'm not around."
"Yes," Kakashi replied calmly without objection.
Hearing this, Obito, who had been lurking in the shadows, pouted somewhat resentfully and muttered under his breath, "Hmph, I can protect Rin too, protect everyone."
Minato paused slightly upon hearing Obito's mutterings, then turned back with a helpless smile: "Obito, follow Kakashi's orders, understand?"
"Okay~ then." Obito responded in a drawn-out tone.
Minato gave him a deep look and solemnly instructed, "Absolutely do not act on your own! You must wait for me to return."
Obito pursed his lips and remained silent, but in his heart he didn't take Minato's warning seriously at all—"Waiting for you? You're the last person I should have waited for!"
After confirming that no one had any objections, Minato Namikaze decisively vanished from the spot.
Only a single, gently swaying leaf remains as proof that he once stood here.
After Minato left, Kakashi did as he was told and instructed everyone to disperse and hide in the surrounding bushes and tree canopies.
Time passed slowly, and occasionally a few birds would flutter up in the valley, but otherwise everything remained the same, so quiet it was almost oppressive.
Obito hid behind a clump of bushes, feeling restless and unbearable.
He slowed his breathing and forced himself to calm down, but Lin's worried expression kept replaying in his mind.
He knew Lin meant well, but the more she did so, the more resentful he felt.
"I must prove it to Rin!" Obito secretly vowed in his heart.
After an unknown amount of time, a sudden change occurred!
Just as the team was lying in wait, an undisguised chakra fluctuation was rapidly approaching them.
Kakashi was the first to notice; his brow furrowed, and he hissed, "Someone's coming!"
The next second, the bushes were parted with a rustling sound, revealing two Chunin clad in Iwagakure armor.
"Who are you people?!"
Kakashi's expression changed drastically; his whereabouts had been exposed!
He was preparing to launch a surprise attack to cover his comrades' retreat when a figure suddenly darted out from the bushes beside him.
"The opportunity has come!" Obito roared, almost impatiently stepping forward.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
"Obito, stop!" Rin's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly called out, "Obito! Come back!" Kakashi also cursed under his breath, but it was too late.
The next instant, Obito leaped out of the bushes where he was hiding, soaring into the air. His hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals, and his chest bulged as a surge of intense chakra rapidly gathered within his body.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Obito took a deep breath in mid-air and suddenly unleashed a torrent of flames!
The blazing flames, like a raging torrent sweeping across the heavens and earth, engulfed the group of Iwa ninja.
During the foggy period, the temperature in the forest rose sharply, and the few Iwa ninjas who were caught off guard were instantly engulfed by the sea of fire!
"Nya-yi-yi!"
A few screams from the Iwa ninja echoed from the firelight, but the sounds were quickly swallowed up by the raging flames.
The firelight reflected off Obito's youthful face, and a vibrant orange-red shone in his dark pupils.
"Is that Obito's Fire Release?!" Rin, who was hiding in the back, stared wide-eyed in shock at the blazing sea of fire in front of her.
Even Kakashi, who was not far away, was so shocked by the terrifying power of the fire release technique that he forgot to chase after them to provide support.
He never expected that Obito, who was usually so carefree and irresponsible, could actually unleash such an amazing Fire Release technique!
In the distance, under the shade of the trees, Yahiko and his two companions stared in disbelief at the flames.
Yahiko couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, exclaiming, "Amazing! I never expected this seemingly unreliable guy to be so amazing!"
Hearing this, Konan gave Yahiko a warning look: "Although he seems just as unreliable as Yahiko, he seems much better than Yahiko!"
"Hey, hey, hey, what nonsense are you spouting, Konan?!" Yahiko's face flushed red as he retorted angrily, "How dare you compare me to that brat Obito?!"
Seeing the two bickering, Nagato's face showed a rare relaxed smile.
However, his gaze remained fixed ahead, clearly indicating that he had not let his guard down.
Obito looked down at the still-burning jungle below and snorted in dissatisfaction.
He was not entirely satisfied with the effect of his strike.
Perhaps due to the nature of this young body, the amount of chakra was limited, and the power of his fire-style techniques was clearly not as great as it had been in his prime.
Even so, the sheer scale of this large-scale ninjutsu still shocked the entire audience.
After landing, Obito put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly: "You bunch of Iwa ninja, listen up! Get out of here and surrender! Otherwise—"
Before he could finish speaking, several coughs and a commotion suddenly came from the blazing sea of fire ahead.
Immediately afterwards, several kneeling figures darted out from the billowing smoke like wolves.
It turned out to be those few Iwa ninja who were engulfed by fire-style attacks!
Obito's pupils contracted, and the smile on his face froze.
These Iwa ninjas looked charred black, their clothes were burned and torn, some had half of their hair singed off, and their bodies were covered in wounds of varying degrees.
What's shocking is that no one was killed!
Obito gritted his teeth inwardly.
Sure enough, their bodies were still too small, and their ninjutsu was not powerful enough; otherwise, that attack just now should not have allowed them to escape unscathed.
Despite his surprise, Obito remained calm.
On the contrary, his confidence swelled even more after seeing the admiring and surprised look in Lin's eyes.
He slightly raised his chin and sneered at the few Iwa ninja who had narrowly escaped, "Oh, still alive? I thought you were all roasted alive! I didn't expect that you guys would not only not run away, but actually dare to fight back?!"
"You brat—" Several Iwa ninja were both shocked and furious, their faces contorted with rage.
"Enough talk! Attack!" A Chunin who appeared to be the captain shouted the order.
Obito, however, quickly formed hand seals again before they could make a move.
His cheeks puffed out, and he unleashed another powerful breath: "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
However, this time, the Iwa ninja were prepared.
Under the command of the Chunin, four or five surviving Iwagakure ninja simultaneously formed hand seals and slammed their fists into the ground, unleashing "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
With several loud rumbling sounds, the earth trembled, and several thick and solid earth and rock walls rose from the ground, instantly forming an arc-shaped barrier that firmly protected the Iwa Ninja Team behind them!
The blazing waves of fire, spewing out with soil, crashed against the earthen wall, causing the soil on the rock surface to crack and smoke to fly everywhere.
But those earthen walls were not breached, and they forcefully blocked his second extinguishing of the great fire!
Moreover, in his complacency, Obito overlooked a major problem: his body was still too young, the amount of chakra within him was ultimately limited, and he did not have White Zetsu cells attached to his body to provide a continuous supply of chakra, unlike in the real world.
Using the Great Fire Annihilation technique in the same way as Madara Uchiha consumes a lot of energy. Releasing it twice in a row is undoubtedly an overdraft for him.
As soon as he finished using Fire Release, Obito felt his chakra rapidly deplete, his whole body went weak, and the scenery in front of him swayed.
He stumbled and half-knelt on the tree branch, his chest heaving violently as he gasped for breath.
"Oh no!" Obito thought to himself, trying to stand up, but found that his legs were weak.
Behind the rock wall in the distance, the rock ninja gradually came to their senses after the second wave of attacks was neutralized.
A ninja from Iwa peeked out and saw Obito's weak appearance, immediately shouting excitedly, "He's done for! This kid's just holding on!"
"Kill him!" With a roar, several Iwa ninjas leaped out from behind the earthen wall.
During the foggy hour, a dozen shuriken, accompanied by a whistling wind, suddenly attacked Obito, who was still kneeling on the tree branch!
"Oh no!" At that moment, Obito felt as if the air around him had frozen.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
"Obito!!" Rin's scream almost tore her throat apart.
Kakashi was a little further away. He burst into full speed and rushed towards Obito, but at this critical moment, he didn't even have time to form hand seals. He could only watch helplessly as several attacks struck Obito's body!
"Damn it!!" Kakashi's temple throbbed with anger. "That idiot Obito!"
"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"
"Shinra Tensei!"
Two loud shouts rang out almost simultaneously.
A surge of turbulent water roared out from the side, transforming into rolling waves that crashed head-on into the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic technique) formations!
Immediately afterwards, an invisible repulsive force suddenly spread out from Nagato's body, like a sudden storm, blasting away and shattering the pebbles and sand in its path!
A series of muffled rumbling sounds were heard, and soil and boulders scattered and flew everywhere, raising a cloud of dust.
The several shuriken, each carrying murderous intent, were shattered in mid-air by the combined impact of the water waves and repulsive force.
These timely actions, one after the other, were none other than those of Yahiko and Nagato!
Yahiko shielded Konan around the waist, pulling her away from the attack range, while simultaneously unleashing a massive jet of water.
Nagato's eyes flashed with anger, and a strange light appeared in his purple Rinnegan. He unleashed a powerful Shinra Tensei, deflecting all the remaining attacks.
Amidst the smoke and dust, Obito felt a blur before his eyes, and his body was suddenly pushed by some force, sending him flying backward.
His chest tightened, and he instinctively closed his eyes.
The expected pain did not come. Obito soon felt someone grab his waist and half-lift him away from where he was. When he came to his senses, he found himself being taken by Kakashi to the back of a large tree dozens of meters away.
Kakashi knelt down on one knee and, unable to hide his lingering fear, cursed breathlessly, "You idiot! The ninjas of Iwagakure are nothing like those wandering ninjas from last time!!"
Obito, still shaken, leaned against the tree trunk, panting heavily.
He then realized that he had just narrowly escaped death, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
He opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but no words came out.
The fatal scene from just now lingered in his mind, leaving him with lingering fear.
"Obito, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?" A soft, anxious voice sounded beside me.
Obito turned his head and saw Rin already squatting beside him, quickly checking his injuries.
The girl's concern warmed Obito's heart.
Obito gave a wry smile, his face flushed, and shook his head: "I—I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you."
Rin checked him over and found no external injuries, then breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's alright, he's just a little weak from excessive chakra consumption."
She wiped the sweat from her brow, then stood up angrily, hands on her hips, glaring at Obito. "Obito! Why were you acting so recklessly? Didn't Minato-sensei tell us to stand by? If Yahiko and Nagato hadn't saved you in time, do you know how dangerous the consequences would have been?!"
"I—" Obito stammered, lowering his head. He was filled with shame. He had been given a second chance at life, but instead of showing off his strength in front of Rin, Rin had seen him in this wolfish state.
Obito was filled with remorse, slamming his fist hard against the ground. "I'm sorry—"
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
Seeing his dejected appearance, Lin's anger subsided by half, and she felt sorry for him again.
She bent down, intending to offer a few words of comfort, when she heard rustling footsteps not far away, accompanied by the angry shouts of the Iwa ninja.
"Those wretched brats—how dare they ruin something good for our Iwagakure village!"
Several Iwa ninjas were charging out of the smoke and dust.
Upon discovering that their opponents were merely a few brats from Konoha, they flew into a rage and surrounded the area from all directions, their eyes red with fury.
"Oh no!" Kakashi exclaimed, drawing his kunai to shield Obito and Rin.
"Rin, take Obito and retreat to the back!"
Rin bit her lower lip, reached out to help the still weak Obito up, and slowly backed away while half-hugging him.
Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan also arrived at Obito's side one after another, protecting him and Rin behind them.
Several teenagers formed a circle, looking wary, confronting the approaching Iwa ninja.
For a time, tensions rose in the mountains and forests.
Suddenly, a loud, angry shout echoed through the woods.
One "Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roaring Style 3!!"
A golden light suddenly burst forth from the forest, like a sudden flash of lightning, blasting the Iwa ninja in the crowd into disarray!
"ah--!!"
A scream accompanied by a burst of golden light sent the two Iwa ninjas at the forefront flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground and falling lifeless.
Golden light flashed everywhere, and before the Iwa ninja present could even see what was happening, they were blasted away one after another with screams!
Obito and the others only saw a dazzling golden light before their eyes, and the strong wind made it almost impossible for them to open their eyes.
When the blinding light faded, they looked closely and saw that Minato Namikaze had returned to them at some point.
He knelt on one knee, his right palm pressed against the ground, his short blond hair fluttering slightly in the air.
The group of Iwa ninja who had been so aggressive just moments before were now lying scattered all around, some dead and others struggling to get up but too terrified to move, retreating on their knees.
"Yellow... Yellow Flash?!" Finally, someone uttered the words with trembling teeth, revealing deep fear. The remaining Iwa ninja all changed their expressions upon seeing that their rescuer was none other than the famous "Yellow Flash of Konoha," Minato Namikaze.
They exchanged a glance, their faces filled with utter horror.
The next second, these defeated soldiers dared not linger in the fight any longer and stumbled and fled.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten Iwagakure ninjas vanished from the forest as if they had turned to ashes.
Seeing the enemy completely routed, Kakashi and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Rin, supporting Obito, let out a long sigh of relief, feeling her legs go weak.
"Good job, guys." Minato turned around, smiling as he looked around at everyone, his eyes full of approval and concern. "Is anyone hurt?"
"It's a small problem, no problem!" Yahiko laughed heartily and waved his hand generously. "Thanks to your timely arrival, senior, we're fine!"
:
Obito stared blankly at Minato Namikaze's figure and muttered: "At least it came just in time."
Seeing that the students were all safe and sound, Minato Namikaze nodded in relief.
At this moment, Rin had already helped Obito to his feet.
She bowed deeply to Yahiko and Nagato, who had just helped her, and said solemnly, "Thank you so much! Otherwise, Obito might have..."
"It's nothing, don't worry about it!" Yahiko quickly waved his hand, revealing a bright and cheerful smile. "After all, we're comrades now, aren't we?"
As he spoke, he casually punched Obito on the shoulder and teased, "Obito, you're something else! That fire jutsu technique you just used really opened my eyes!"
Obito was punched so hard his wings bounced up, and he nodded with a wry smile: "Ah—okay, no problem."
Yahiko, without any hesitation, put his arm around Obito's shoulder and continued to praise, "Don't let Obito's usual carefree attitude fool you, he's actually quite capable when it counts!"
