Chapter 422: Invisibility ~ Water Prison ~
Thunder Country Battlefield
In the Konoha tent, Kakashi and the other two were happily preparing for the mopping-up mission they had finally secured.
Ever since being rescued by Minato last time, Minato and the others have to devote themselves to the upcoming decisive battle and cannot take care of Kakashi and the others for the time being, but they are worried that the three young and energetic people will get into trouble again.
They were simply banned and only allowed to carry out some simple patrol tasks to prevent them from making any more mistakes.
However, Minato also knew that excessive protection was not a good thing for them as ninjas. Therefore, after suppressing Kakashi and the others for a while, Minato took the time to select the safest task for them to practice.
Although the three people who had been holding back for a long time were also very excited about this, they were also much more cautious because they had been severely hit by Ai and his men before.
He had checked the ninja tools that were extremely familiar to him several times, and at the same time he was silently calculating new tactics in his mind, especially after seeing the incredible ninjutsu of the Whirlpool Iron Pillar.
I even rethought my future path and prepared to change my approach.
The path he originally wanted to take was what most ninjas believed in, which was to learn powerful ninjutsu, the more powerful the better. Apart from that, he rarely dabbled in other things, and basically relied on the capital he had accumulated when Sakumo was alive.
After all, after Sakumo passed away, Kakashi lost his guidance and could only rely on some training notes for training, but those were just books after all and lacked persuasiveness.
Among those who taught him, Minato was the least qualified and the least representative. Although his other basics were good, when people heard his name, what came to their mind was the terrifying Flying Thunder God's body-flickering technique.
Shiro himself is similar to Minato, who can conquer the world with one projection move, and he himself was not very strong during the time when Sakumo passed away, so he could not guide Kakashi.
Therefore, before seeing the battle with Tiezhu, even with the ninjutsu scroll given by Shiro, he was still absorbing some of the ninjutsu from it to optimize his Raikiri.
But after witnessing the battle of Iron Pillar, his mind changed. In the battle with Killer Bee, the earth escape and sealing techniques used were not very powerful techniques, but the key was to combine them well and master them deeply, which was very powerful.
Just hang Kirabi up and beat him!
The most advanced technique used is the Water Dragon Bullet Technique, and it uses ten water dragons!
Hmm. Let's not consider this. Putting aside the difficulty, he doesn't have enough chakra.
In the subsequent battle, the overwhelming earth escape technique was indeed amazing, but what attracted Kakashi more was the earth clone of Iron Pillar that even the Raikage could not see through!
Combined with the high-intensity low-level earth escape technique that Tiezhu performed casually, Kakashi turned his attention back to low-level ninjutsu. He felt that he should pay attention to the automatic journal (modified from the scroll, as mentioned earlier) given to him by Shiro.
Maybe, it's more than just an encyclopedia.
Unlike Kakashi, although Obito increased the intensity of his training, he did not change his mind about his own path. After all, he was an Uchiha who opened the Sharingan at a young age.
He was not short of guidance, and someone had clearly analyzed for him what path to take next. The reason for his loss was simply due to insufficient training, and had nothing to do with the path. So far, his path had not been wrong.
Kakashi and Obito, two geniuses, have become aware of the truth, so naturally Rin will not fall behind. However, she has no background and does not know many techniques, so she has just strengthened her training during this period and has become more proficient in sealing techniques and medical ninjutsu.
Apart from that, there's nothing else.
Of course, this is also very outstanding, as a commoner.
"Shuriken, kunai, senbon, silk thread, Kakashi's poison. Ha! Kakashi, you actually use poison, how lame!" Halfway through, Obito looked at the poison in his hand and laughed again.
"Tsk, what's wrong with a ninja using poison? That's what a ninja is! Have you been brainwashed by that guy too?" Kakashi glanced at Obito and continued to coldly point at the ninja tools in his hand.
"What do you mean by brainwashing? I think what Brother Shiro said is right. A true ninja should fight head-on!"
Kakashi paused as he arranged his ninja tools, then turned his dead eyes to look at Obito. "You don't really believe this, do you?"
"Why don't you believe it? Brother Shiro's title as the God of Ninjutsu was earned on the battlefield!" Upon hearing Kakashi's doubt, Obito immediately puffed out his chest and retorted loudly, like a little fanboy!
"But he himself doesn't believe it. You don't know how many times he's sneaked into battle in the past."
"Huh?!" Obito was stunned for a moment, and then he was about to start a heated argument with Kakashi.
But just as he was about to take up his position and open his mouth, he was stopped by the beautiful woman standing in front of him. Seeing Rin's slightly angry expression, Obito shrank his head and continued to lower his head to organize his ninja tools.
"Really? We're about to go into battle, and you're still messing around like this? Let's see what you'll do when Minato-sensei gives you some grounds!"
Looking at Lin who was standing between the two of them with her hands on her hips and scolding, Kakashi and Obito looked at each other tacitly, then quickly turned away!
"Hmph!" x 2
"Ah~" Looking at the two children, Lin sighed helplessly.
After a while, the three of them put away the ninja tools that they had checked many times and started heading towards the mission location.
Their mission this time was to eliminate a small stronghold of Kumogakure in order to shrink the front line. It was not difficult at all, as the strongest person inside was just a Jonin.
This is more than enough for Kakashi and his team, but time is a bit tight. After all, Hidden Cloud Village is not a fool, and they are also shrinking their front lines for the decisive battle.
Konoha is doing the same thing, and they are doing the same thing. Naturally, their stronghold will have to be withdrawn. It is just a matter of time. Kakashi and the others' mission is to kill them before they evacuate!
In fact, to put it bluntly, this kind of mission is to weaken the opponent. Both sides are doing it, and it depends on who moves faster!
It is precisely because they are in a hurry that the three of them set off now. Otherwise, Kakashi will have to wait until the cooling down of the automatic secretary is over!
However, with the strength of the three of them, it would be easy to take over this stronghold without any obstruction from other ninjas.
If there hadn't been a dark hand that was slowly reaching out from the shadows that even Minato hadn't noticed
When Kakashi and the other two arrived near their destination, the Hidden Cloud Group was still patrolling vigilantly. Apparently, the order to evacuate had not yet been passed on to them. Kakashi and the others still had time!
After roughly confirming the intelligence in the stronghold, in order to avoid alerting the enemy and reducing the effectiveness of their surprise attack, Kakashi and his team evacuated quietly without observing for long.
It has to be said that after experiencing that chase, the three of them had to be much more vigilant. In the past, given the opponent's configuration, they would definitely attack without saying a word!
He's just a jonin, just sprinkle some water~
But now, it's better to be cautious
After retreating, the three of them first found a hidden place to set up the sealing technique, preparing for accidents and hiding for a long time. At the same time, it was also a hiding place for Lin.
After all, she is different from Kakashi and the others. Although she is talented, Minato started teaching her a little late, and her combat ability cannot keep up with Kakashi and the others.
Therefore, instead of going to the battlefield and dragging them down, it would be better to be a military doctor and just provide support. The fighting can be left to Kakashi and the others.
In the following days, after discovering that the other party had no plans to evacuate for the time being, Kakashi and his team became more cautious and continued to conduct various investigations, striving to minimize the risks of this mission.
But what they didn't know was that these few days of delay just provided enough time for what happened next.
At this time, Kakashi and the others had not yet realized the hidden crisis. The two of them were splitting up into two groups, preparing to end the mission that had lasted for so long.
Based on their observations over the past few days, Kakashi and his team have roughly figured out the number of people in the Hidden Cloud stronghold. The strongest among them is Karu, the strongest senior ninja in the intelligence, who is good at Lightning Release Ninjutsu.
The rest are two Chunins and four Genins. Except for the Jonins, it is a relatively standard configuration, one Chunin and two Genins.
Of course, except for the Jonin Karu, the rest of the ninja levels are not trustworthy. Upper, middle and lower are just titles and do not fully represent their strength.
This is also the reason why Kakashi and the others have been preparing for so long.
This was a perfect opportunity for them to seize. Based on their observations over the past few days, they discovered that the distribution of patrol personnel of the ninja in this stronghold was very irregular!
Basically, the combinations are different, some are three, some are four. In short, they seem to do whatever they want. But it is understandable that the patrol personnel are also assigned regularly, which is really digging a hole for themselves.
And now, the Hidden Cloud Ninja Jonin Kalu took two Genin to patrol, leaving two Chunin and two Genin in the base, just enough for them to split in half.
Considering the opponent's irregular distribution method, Kakashi and his team decisively seized this accidental opportunity (arranged by the author) and prepared to end the battle quickly!
The assignment between the two was simple. Kakashi was responsible for the four people who stayed in the base, while Obito, who had the Sharingan and could kill two Genin in an instant, was responsible for the three people outside.
As long as nothing unexpected happens, there is no risk in this battle!
As expected, things unfolded as Kakashi and his team planned.
Looking at the camp set up in the forest, Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly above his mask, raised his hands and began to make seals!
"Mist Hidden Technique!"
"Enemy attack!"
The moment the thick fog rose, the alarm in the Hidden Cloud Camp sounded. They were not fools and could not see such an obvious change.
Of course, there are also doubts. After all, this is the signature ninjutsu of Kirigakure, and this place is very far away from Kirigakure. Not to mention that they are now fighting with Konoha, even if they are not, there is no reason to attack them.
However, despite their doubts, they still had to be vigilant. Before the alarm was finished, the other three had already placed their kunai across their chests.
Unfortunately, at this time, the "Kakashis" had already approached them silently using the assassination footwork of the Hatake family, and then...
"Water Style: Water Prison Technique!"
As the sound of water splashed, the thick fog around was also dispersed by Kakashi, revealing four huge water balls in the field and the Kakashis beside the water balls!
The battlefield returned to tranquility again. Apart from the four people struggling in the water ball, there was no change on the field.
(You can breathe inside the Water Prison Technique until the oxygen runs out)
After a while, Kakashi, who had confirmed that there was no backup plan in the camp, walked out of the jungle nearby, glanced at the four people who were controlled by the water prison cast by the water clone, and waved his hand.
Four streams of purple liquid sank into the water prison under the horrified eyes of the Cloud Ninja, and then slowly invaded his body.
After doing this, Kakashi ignored the blood-red water ball and walked carefully into the camp, starting to eliminate the mechanisms inside one by one so that he could take away the supplies later.
On the other side, Obito was not as smooth as Kakashi. He was now caught in a fight. At the beginning, he did use the illusion of the Sharingan to disable two Genin.
But the remaining senior ninja Karu was not easy to deal with. The moment he saw Obito's blood-red eyes, he gave up the two burdens and rushed straight towards Obito!
However, Obito, who only had two magatama, could not freeze two Genin in an instant. Therefore, although he finally returned to defense in time and blocked Karu's attack, he also suffered a small loss.
This disrupted his rhythm and led him into a fight.
However, the Sharingan still has a huge advantage, especially in close combat. Relying on his powerful insight, Obito gradually turned the situation around!
Not only did he avoid some of Kalu's tricky attacks, he even began to make some preliminary preparations for ninjutsu on the battlefield in front of Kalu!
Kalu was naturally very angry about this, but he had no other choice.
The Sharingan's insight was too strong, and Obito saw all his movements, but his strength and speed were not strong enough to ignore this.
Therefore, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and continue to fight with Obito in a frustrated manner. He no longer divided his energy between the two guys who were bound to die, and prepared to wait for an opportunity to give Obito a hard blow!
Thinking of this, Kalu began to slowly mobilize the chakra in his body to stimulate the body cells to increase speed and strength.
For now, this was all he could do. Although he excelled in Lightning Release Ninjutsu, he couldn't find any opportunity to use it, at least for now. Therefore, he could only hope that his enhanced Taijutsu, which surpassed Obito's, would give him a fighting chance.
