Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 257 Playing with Death

Meanwhile, Kakashi was on the other side.

After receiving Toshiro's signal, he dealt with his opponent and then silently moved towards the rear of the Mist Ninja.

However, things didn't go as planned. The Mist Ninja present weren't blind. There were only two Konoha ninjas, so they couldn't hide their presence at all.

Without anyone giving orders, a squad of Mist Ninja immediately attempted to intercept Kakashi.

squeak!squeak!squeak!

A cacophony of birdsong erupted, followed by a blinding flash of lightning.

Faced with layers of interception from the Mist Ninja, Kakashi could only use the Chidori ninjutsu to break through the Mist Ninja's blockade in front of him.

Before the Mist Ninja who were blocking Kakashi could react, their chests had already been pierced by the high-speed Kakashi.

Seeing this scene, the leader of this mission in the Mist Village was already in despair. No matter how anxious he was, he was powerless in the face of Toshiro in front of him and Kakashi behind him.

This time, I might really become the sinner of the village. Not only will there be heavy casualties and mission failure, but the village will also lose its Three-Tails.

"Ignore them, break out of the encirclement, find the experimental subject, and kill him!"

When they transferred the Three-Tails seal, they not only tampered with the seal itself, but also could control the Three-Tails to break the seal and go berserk at any time.

Even the test subject was marked with tracking marks.

It's impossible to control the Three-Tails' rampage now, so let's just kill that experimental subject. That way, after a while, the Three-Tails can return to the hands of the Kirigakure ninja.

After giving the final order, as the leader, he did not try to kill the experimental subject like his companions, but instead stayed behind with a dozen or so Mist Ninja to try to intercept Toshiro.

With this enemy present, they simply couldn't kill the little girl smoothly. He hoped his death could undo the disastrous consequences of the mission's failure.

"Shadow Clone Technique"

Seeing that the enemy was about to go find Nohara Rin behind them, Toshiro immediately used the Shadow Clone Technique to create three clones to intercept the Mist Ninja.

"Kakashi, leave this to me, you go protect Rin!"

After creating shadow clones, Toshiro was still worried that this wasn't safe enough, so he said to Kakashi, who had just used Chidori to kill the Mist Ninja who were trying to make the Three-Tails go berserk.

"Okay! Be careful..."

In fact, Kakashi is already at his limit. A whole day of searching, chasing, and fighting has left him extremely exhausted.

But whenever he thought of his promise to Obito, he would grit his teeth and persevere, and at that moment, waves of power would always flow into his body from Obito's eye.

It seems that Obito is also fighting alongside him.

After saying that, Kakashi turned and charged towards the Mist Ninja who had bypassed Toshiro's blockade.

He would never allow these Mist Ninjas to get close to Rin.

Upon witnessing this scene, the leader of the Mist Ninja, whose lips twitched slightly beneath his mask, said nothing more.

However, his actions were indeed exceptionally decisive.

He pulled a stack of explosive tags directly from his ninja tool pouch and stuck them on his body. His subordinates followed suit and did the same.

"Damn it, not a single one of these Mist Ninjas is normal!"

Upon seeing this, Toshiro spat and cursed under his breath.

What annoyed him most about the Mist Ninja was that when they couldn't beat him, they would fight him to the death. Even though he was strong, he still had a lot of headaches when he encountered such stubborn people.

If he were to be careless and dragged down with these Mist Ninja, it would be a huge loss. Even if he miraculously survived, he couldn't accept being seriously injured, losing an arm or a leg.

"How about... I step aside... so you can go after that girl!"

Seeing the Mist Ninja's relentless and determined attitude, Toshiro chuckled twice and made a joke that wasn't too big or too small.

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Mist Ninjas didn't react much, but his subordinates couldn't help but stir.

Even if they were Kirigakure ninja who didn't value their own lives or the lives of their comrades, it was inevitable that they would feel fear in the face of a battle where certain death was certain.

Their beliefs were shaken.

"Don't fall into their trap; they're just testing our resolve."

Seeing his subordinate still clinging to hope even at this point, the Mist Ninja leader felt a pang of sorrow, but also a certain admiration for the Konoha ninja opposite him.

However, given that both sides have reached this point, there is no room for maneuver; it's simply a matter of life and death.

Hearing their superior's words, these Mist Ninja abandoned their insignificant steeds, and each of them looked at Toshiro with a death wish.

"That's really true..."

Seeing that his words had little effect and that the other party had easily calmed people down, Toshiro gave up any hope of getting away with it.

We had no choice but to start fighting these Mist Ninjas to the death.

At this moment, Nohara Rin was hiding herself in a secluded tree canopy. Time was too short to find a proper hiding place, so she had to make do with what she had.

Her experiences throughout the day were truly dramatic and unpredictable.

They were originally carrying out some simple missions with Kakashi, but unexpectedly they were kidnapped by these Kirigakure ANBU.

He then fell into a coma. Although he did not completely lose consciousness due to his own willpower, his perception of the outside world was intermittent.

These Mist Ninjas seemed to have placed themselves on an altar and done some indescribable things to themselves, and then seemed to say something in succession.

When she regained consciousness, Kakashi had already rescued her. Only then did she realize that she had once again fallen into the hands of the enemy.

This time, only Kakashi came to rescue him; Obito was not among them.

When they were escaping, Kakashi's words reminded her of her past. Just when she had made up her mind to die at Kakashi's hands, she was rescued by Toshiro.

Now that she was hiding in the secluded canopy of trees, she finally managed to sort out what had happened to her that day.

But the pressure that followed left her feeling lost and helpless. She had no idea how to face what was to come.

Ultimately, she was just a 12 or 3-year-old girl.

Although she had never seen a tailed beast in person during this era of war, she had heard of them to some extent.

Thinking back to the terrifying legends I'd heard before, and then looking at my own lower abdomen.

Rin Nohara suddenly misses Obito!
