Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 258 Mutual Destruction

"Lin!"

A familiar voice appeared in Nohara Rin's ear.

Upon hearing that voice, her anxious heart seemed to find a safe haven, and her overall mental state improved considerably.

"Let's go! It's safe now!"

Hearing the other person's voice, Nohara Rin prepared to leave her hiding place.

As a medical ninja, he was extremely familiar with the aura of chakra, not to mention that the owner of this voice was his beloved partner who had grown up with him since childhood.

"You're not Kakashi!"

Upon noticing the anomaly, Lin flung a series of kunai at the direction of the sound, while simultaneously preparing to get up and leave the canopy where she was hiding.

Now that our location has been exposed, we'd better move quickly.

Before she could even move, a flash of gleaming blade pierced towards her back.

"So, the sound I heard just now was just to distract me?"

Looking at the ninja sword so close to her, and feeling its owner's undisguised killing intent, Nohara Rin felt that she was truly doomed this time.

But that's fine too. If I die, I can at least keep that idiot Obito company.

If I weren't there to keep an eye on him, who knows how many funny mistakes this idiot would have made or what wrong things he would have done.

puff!

Ah!

Just as Nohara Rin closed her eyes and awaited death, a sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out, followed by a short scream and a pungent smell of blood.

"Kakashi! Is that really you?"

Opening her eyes, Nohara Rin saw Kakashi's figure and the Kirigakure ANBU lying beside him.

"Lin! Come with me quickly, it's not safe here..."

At the critical moment, Kakashi finally arrived at Nohara Rin's side before she was killed and killed the Mist Ninja at her feet.

At the same time, he stretched out his left hand, intending to pull Lin out of the bushes so that he could take her away from the vicinity.

Although Toshiro intercepted most of the Mist Ninja, quite a few enemies still passed by him and rushed towards the vicinity.

However, he was confident that he could handle these enemies on his own.

What happened...?

Seeing Rin's wary expression, Kakashi paused for a moment, then pulled up his left headband, revealing Obito's eye.

"It really is you!"

Upon seeing Obito's eyes, Rin, who had initially hesitated and worried that this was another Kirigakure trap, finally confirmed the visitor's identity and emerged from her hiding place.

"Kakashi, where's Toshiro-senpai?"

Holding her little hand, Rin Nohara ran away quickly, but she still managed to ask about her savior.

"Don't worry! Toshiro is very strong; these Mist Ninja are no match for him~"

Seemingly worried that Rin might be concerned, Kakashi didn't forget to offer a word of comfort.

"He'll come looking for us once we're safe!"

"That's for the best! But Kakashi, we can't go back to the village!"

Given her current situation, she really couldn't return to the village. She didn't know if the Mist Ninja had any backup plans, and if something went wrong, it would be disastrous.

"good!"

After careful consideration, Kakashi took Rin and changed the direction they were fleeing in.

Now that he has Toshiro as a strong ally, he has the resources to stall for time and deal with these persistent Kirigakure ninja.

"I just don't know when the teacher will arrive!"

Kakashi touched the Flying Thunder God kunai in his ninja tool pouch, and felt a little uneasy again. Although he had killed those Kirigakure ninjas who were trying to use some unknown methods under the cover of Toshiro.

However, Lin's situation is not optimistic!

……

the other side.

Toshiro was already having a terrible headache dealing with the few Mist Ninja in front of him.

As the saying goes, the soft fear the hard, the hard fear the ruthless, the ruthless fear the crazy, and the crazy fear the reckless.

These Mist Ninja in front of you are reckless enemies, each carrying explosive tags emitting blue smoke, charging towards you, ready to go to the underworld with you. Who wouldn't be afraid?

cough!cough!cough!

Having barely escaped a series of explosions, Toshiro was so shaken that he coughed repeatedly.

"His internal organs must have been damaged by the shock!"

Based on his understanding of his own body, he only needed to sense it slightly to know that his internal organs had been damaged by the shockwave.

However, the Mist Ninja on the other side gave him no chance to breathe and charged madly towards Toshiro.

Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Flame Bullet

"Ninja Art: Hand Sword Shadow Clone"

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique"

Having finally managed to create some distance between himself and the Mist Ninja using the aftershocks of the explosion, how could Toshiro possibly dare to engage them in close combat?

He immediately unleashed three easy-to-use area-of-effect ninjutsu, attempting to engage the Mist Ninja in a mid-to-long-range ninjutsu battle.

These Mist Ninja have no martial ethics, we can't afford to mess with them!

"Water Release·Water Wave"

The leader of the Mist ninja unleashed a large-scale Water Release ninjutsu and charged towards Toshiro with his subordinates.

Now it's not like just now. There's no need to hold back. No matter how strong the opponent's close combat skills are, they are not afraid and can use ninjutsu without any worries.

Moreover, the water stains under their feet made it easier for them and their companions to launch a sneak attack. For the Mist Ninja, fighting without water was like missing something.

"You're a madman!"

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your subordinates! They all have wives, children, and elderly parents. If they are sacrificed in vain, the lives of these elderly, weak, women, and children will not be easy!"

Seeing that the Mist Ninja were relentless, Toshiro, feeling that Kakashi and the others should have already gone far away, started his talk-no-jutsu again.

However, he clearly lacks the talent for the strongest ninjutsu, "Talk-no-Jutsu".

"Mission failed, they lost the Three-Tails, and they died here in battle—for them, this is the best ending!"

Seemingly fearing that his subordinates might waver due to the local dialect, the leader of the Mist Ninja reiterated their fate once again.

"If they go back alive, it will be truly devastating news for their families!"

Sensing the approaching Mist Ninjas rapidly emerging from the floodwaters beneath his feet, and noticing the changing hand seals on their hands, Toshiro could only fight and retreat, attempting to slowly whittle down the number of Mist Ninjas.

A long time passed.

The leader of the Mist Ninja took advantage of an opening created by his subordinates to hold Toshiro tightly in his arms.

Ignoring the ninja sword piercing his chest, he detonated the explosive tags on his body with satisfaction, taking the guy who ruined his mission down with him.

Rumble!!

A violent explosion and flames engulfed the two figures.
