Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 255 Arrival

"Lin! Don't think too much, let's run towards the village!"

While keeping an eye on the pursuers behind him, Kakashi comforted Rin Nohara beside him.

He had no time to comfort his companion.

"The village..."

Upon hearing Kakashi mention the word "village," Nohara Rin seemed to remember something, and the fragmented images in her mind began to connect.

Tailed beasts, teleportation, sealing, village, berserk... Nohara Rin, who already knew she was being used as a ticking time bomb, became terrified.

Lin touched her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with determination.

"Kakashi, we can't run towards the village!"

"Kill me immediately! I've been used by the enemy!"

If I were to return to the village, it would surely bring disaster to Konoha, and countless comrades would die because of me.

Kakashi must be included in that!

After realizing the consequences, Rin decided to have Kakashi kill her, so that she would be the only one to die.

"It's a pity that I, like Obito, never confessed to Kakashi."

But it wouldn't be bad to die at Kakashi's hands!

"What did you say? I promised Obito... I would protect you! I absolutely can't do that... Anyway... let's run back to the village first!"

Seeing this, Kakashi was completely dumbfounded; he was truly desperate at this moment!

If only my teacher were here, with Minato-sensei, these problems could definitely be solved.

At that moment, taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, a one-eyed figure draped in white by an unidentified organization and wearing a black cloak was running barefoot toward Kakashi's location.

"Kakashi...you promised me...you had to protect Rin!"

Although he was extremely anxious, the reality of the distance meant that he could only channel his anxiety into strength and move step by step toward Kakashi and the others.

At the same time, I kept praying in my heart that the thing I least wanted to see wouldn't happen, otherwise...

"Kakashi's scent is already quite strong, he should be up ahead~"

Puck twitched his nose in the air, then perked up and led Toshiro toward the dense forest ahead.

Even before they got close, they could faintly hear the explosions of the detonating tags, as well as the furious roars of the Mist Ninja.

"It seems Kakashi has caused quite a bit of trouble for the Hidden Mist Village!"

"The enemy numbers... 57..."

With his eyes closed and mind focused, Toshiro touched the ground with his finger to sense the chakra reactions within a radius of nearly three kilometers.

None of these fifty-odd enemies had chakra levels lower than Chunin; they all appeared to be elite Kirigakure troops.

"They don't seem to be in any danger for the time being. Let's find a place to hide."

As he said this, Toshiro found a spot in the bushes in front of Kakashi and hid, preparing to give the pursuing Mist Ninja a hard time.

After so many years of battlefield experience, he still believes that a sneak attack is the easiest way to defeat the enemy, and it has never failed him.

Seeing that Kakashi was unwilling to kill her, Rin Nohara was prepared to end her own life. However, she did not expect that she seemed to be under some kind of spell that could control her actions, and she could not even commit suicide.

For the sake of the village and Kakashi by her side, Rin prepared to charge into the enemy lines.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation

A massive sea of ​​fire emerged from the bushes above them, surging towards the two Mist Ninja behind them.

Hiding in the path the two were bound to take, Toshiro saw his two familiar faces finally arrive beside him and immediately unleashed a large-scale fire-style ninjutsu to intercept the mist ninja.

"Yo Kakashi, you're really desperate!"

When Kakashi looked up, he saw Puck's droopy eyelids and dog-like face, and the other man even made a teasing remark at him.

"Now that I've brought the person, I'll be leaving!"

Seeing that Kakashi had someone to rescue him, Puck greeted them and then turned into a cloud of white smoke, disappearing from the spot.

It's just a tracking ninja dog; it's not something I can help with in a battle of this scale.

It's best to slip away as soon as possible.

"We're saved!"

Seeing the orange-red flames that dispelled the darkness within a radius of several kilometers, and the red and white clan emblem behind them, Kakashi knew that Pakkun had arrived with reinforcements.

When Kakashi saw the other person, he truly felt like he had been saved.

Lin's words had left him at a loss, and now he finally had someone to share his burden.

"I've been saved by another Uchiha again!"

Seeing Toshiro continuously unleashing his Fire Release techniques, Kakashi and Rin realized who this person who had come to their rescue was.

"Senior! I'm troubling you again this time!"

Even Nohara Rin, who had been prepared to die, had her hope for life rekindled at this moment.

If it were just Kakashi and himself, they wouldn't have been able to hold out until their teacher arrived, but with Toshiro's help, there wouldn't be any problem.

Although he had never seen the other party make a move, based on their several encounters and what he had heard Obito and Kakashi say about it, the other party was extremely strong.

"We rushed and rushed, and finally arrived on time!"

"Leave this to me! You take Lin and go first!"

Leaving Kakashi and Rin with their backs turned, Toshiro drew his ninja sword and charged towards the Kirigakure ninja who had survived his fire-style attacks.

With his current strength, although these Mist Ninjas are quite troublesome, he can still handle them by himself if he grits his teeth.

However, some injuries are inevitable.

Seeing Toshiro fighting the enemy ahead, Kakashi didn't immediately take Rin Nohara away. There was no reason for him to run away with the girl without Rin coming to his rescue.

"Rin! You go first and find a place to hide. Toshiro and I will come find you in a bit."

After saying that, Kakashi followed behind Toshiro and charged towards the Mist Ninja.

"Okay! Remember to take good care of yourself..."

Before Nohara Rin could finish speaking, Kakashi had already disappeared in front of her, leaving her with her words stuck in her throat.

Gritting her teeth, Lin could only stomp her foot and disappear from the vicinity. She needed to find a place to think carefully about what had happened to her!
