Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 278 Lying Flat

"Isobu, are you just going to stand by and watch?"

Seeing his little brother so useless, actually lending his power to the other, Nine-Tails was quite speechless.

"Otherwise what? If I were to go berserk, this little girl named Nohara Rin would die instantly."

Faced with Kurama's words, Isobu simply lay down and gave up.

"After spending these past few days together, I feel that there's nothing wrong with sleeping inside this little girl's body."

"Besides, I saw how that woman went berserk that day. Add to that the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, and we have absolutely no chance."

If Kurama's true form hadn't been sealed, the two of them could have tried to struggle, but the current situation is that Kurama simply can't break the seal within the other's body, and even with his own help, there's no hope whatsoever.

Since it would just get beaten up and then sealed away again if it went out anyway, why should it suffer that pain?

"You bastard..."

Nine-Tailed Fox was truly speechless in the face of its little brother. Although it agreed with what the other party said, such a negative attitude still made it quite angry.

"I'm not going to worry about you anymore, you'd better watch yourself!"

After saying those words, the miniature Nine-Tails slowly merged into the air and disappeared from Isobu's head.

Meanwhile, Obito and Rin were surrounded by Root members.

"Obito, watch out!"

After giving Obito a brief instruction, Rin charged towards the Root ninjas who were hot on her heels.

The other side had a lot of men, and before the two of them could run very far, people kept trying to intercept them.

Although they were no match for her, they still slowed down their escape, allowing the pursuers behind them to catch up.

"Nohara Rin! Don't try to resist. We're doing this for the village's benefit. As Minato Namikaze's disciple, where is your 'Will of Fire'?"

"Also, the man next to you, isn't that Uchiha Obito? He's your childhood friend. You should think carefully about what will happen to him if he continues to resist."

Seeing that he had stopped them from breaking through the barrier, Aburame Ryoma began to try to break their will.

The opponent's current state is somewhat troublesome. The seal on the Three-Tails has been broken. Although it is unknown why the opponent did not go berserk, it is not advisable to provoke the opponent excessively at this time.

This sudden troublemaker was a perfect entry point. At first, they didn't recognize the person's current attire, but in her haste, Nohara Rin blurted out the person's identity, and he immediately knew.

Based on the information he had gathered beforehand, the other party and this Uchiha Obito had grown up together since childhood, and their bond was very deep. Using this kid to threaten the other party was a very good strategy.

If we could incapacitate the other party with words, that would be ideal. Even if the chances are slim, buying them time would be beneficial, allowing them to gather more manpower.

Given what Nohara Rin has shown, if things were to escalate further, the manpower at their temporary base might not be able to control her at all.

"Lin! Don't listen to their nonsense! This guy has no intention of us surrendering!"

"He's just stalling for time. We'll find a way to break through this barrier. Once we're outside, Kushina-neechan will definitely come to save us!"

When it comes to Obito, his mind becomes incredibly sharp whenever it comes to Rin Nohara. Through his Sharingan, he quickly discerns the fundamental reason why she was trying so hard to keep the two of them trapped in the barrier.

He directly exposed the other party's scheme in one sentence.

"Okay! I'll lead the way this time, and you'll assist me!"

Clenching her fists, Nohara Rin charged straight at the Root members who were trying to stop her.

This time, she wants to be the one who shelters her companions from the wind and rain.

"Be careful of Jinchūriki; avoid close combat."

"Damn it, there's also this Uchiha. His movements are very strange."

With abundant chakra, Rin's every punch and kick possessed an exaggerated power. Sometimes, even a single exhale could generate a tremendous wind pressure, comparable to a typical C-rank ninjutsu.

In addition, there was an Uchiha Sharingan user nearby who helped her block the attacks from the flanks.

The Root ninjas were completely helpless and could only watch as the two figures gradually approached the edge of the barrier.

"Damn it!"

Furious, Ryoma Aburame saw that his subordinates were completely useless, and had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

However, before taking action, he did not forget to give instructions to his subordinates.

"Pass the message on to Lord Danzo!"

After saying that, he transformed into a dark cloud of insects and pounced towards Obito and Rin.

After observing for so long, he also noticed some clues.

Although Nohara Rin can use the power of the tailed beasts to a certain extent, her body is clearly not very adapted to this kind of external chakra.

Each time he severely injured one of his subordinates, the subordinate's body would tremble uncontrollably. It was obvious that this was a side effect of using Tailed Beast chakra.

If he could just hold out until the enemy was exhausted, they would have no chance to break through. As for the other Uchiha brat, although he was a bit troublesome, he didn't take him seriously.

At the same time, the opponent has another, even more fatal weakness.

Even when Nohara Rin's attacks hit her opponent, they only caused serious injury to her companion, rendering him unable to fight.

This made his subordinates' attacks even more unrestrained, and also caused Nohara Rin to suffer increasing losses.

The other party truly lives up to his reputation as the grand-disciple of the Third Hokage, a disciple of Minato Namikaze.

"Lin! Watch out!"

Seeing a dense cloud of insects rushing towards Nohara Rin, Obito quickly used a Fireball Jutsu to block the cloud of insects.

At the same time, he didn't forget to remind Nohara Rin who was standing next to him.

At the same time, he noticed that many tiny insects emitting chakra light were slowly approaching the two of them.

Not only in the air, but also on the ground, there are many of these small insects crawling slowly.

Without even thinking, he knew that these must be the work of the Aburame clan, and he quickly began to clean up these troublesome things.

"Sharingan, huh? What a nuisance!"

Ryoma Aburame sighed as his ninjutsu was exposed. No wonder his boss was so wary of these people.
