Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 19 The Final Support (Please continue reading)

The piercing screams were particularly chilling. Because of the steel wire locking and binding, Hunter stood there with his hands raised, constantly burning.

Even though Hagoromo had lived in the Land of Whirlpools for so many years, he couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene.

But his expression remained relatively calm; he had seen far more horrific scenes in the Land of Whirlpools.

"If you can't adapt to this world, you'll be eliminated by it."

As he thought to himself, Yuzhi then took out a kunai and shot it directly at Kari's heart.

The screams stopped abruptly. After taking a look and confirming that the person was completely dead, Yuzhi quickly returned the way he came.

What he needs to do now is to find Akai and Aoba as soon as possible.

Roar--

Just then, a deafening roar suddenly echoed through the forest.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful storm swept through a large area of ​​forest, snapping countless trees in half, and the earth trembled continuously at that moment.

The rapidly moving haori almost lost his footing, but when he looked up, he saw a scene that shocked him.

A gigantic, pure white beast, resembling a fusion of a dolphin and a horse, roared to the sky, while opposite it stood a giant toad wielding a short knife and carrying a pipe.

"Has it gotten this far?"

Looking at these two enormous creatures, Yuzhi couldn't help but feel a little flutter in her heart.

Even just looking at them from afar, he could feel the immense power emanating from these two monstrous individuals.

Such ferocious power could easily tear him to shreds!

boom--

Just as Yuzhi was feeling sentimental, both of these enormous creatures began to move.

Their simple movement creates the illusion of an earthquake, and their attacks cause the surrounding winds to howl!

The shockwaves generated by that violent chakra and power were like the end of the world, instilling despair in people's hearts.

"So this is the power of the Tailed Beasts, and also the power of Minato Namikaze?"

Yuzhi immediately changed direction, determined not to go any closer, but his eyes couldn't help but be fixed on the two monsters.

He had already concealed the joy of having just killed the hunter. The hunter was strong, but he was still far from being a match for these two monsters.

"I still need to work harder."

Watching the two monsters constantly fighting, Yuzhi took a deep breath and quickly adjusted her mindset.

He knew his current situation, so he didn't feel too frustrated.

Strength is accumulated step by step, not achieved overnight.

Besides, his own growth was already somewhat "simpler" than others, so he didn't need to feel frustrated at all.

However, at this moment, a fire also ignited within him, and he knew very well what he was going to do.

He still needs to work hard to step out of the audience and onto his own stage!

"Haori!"

Just then, he suddenly heard someone calling him. He immediately turned around and saw Qingye and Akai rushing towards him.

Although they both looked disheveled and a bit messy, Yuzhi was relieved.

"Are you two alright?"

"No problem, the Iwa ninjas saw the monster come out and immediately headed in that direction."

Upon hearing this answer, Yuzhi nodded.

With such a huge commotion, Iwagakure only had two options: one was to immediately send their Jinchūriki to their aid.

One option is to run away immediately, just like Yuzhi did, but it seems that the Iwagakure people have chosen the first option.

But soon Yuzhi frowned slightly, as he suddenly thought of something.

Although the Jinchūriki was very strong, Minato Namikaze, who was skilled in both the Flying Thunder God Technique and sealing techniques, should have been able to prevent the situation from escalating to this point.

So, what was his purpose in doing this?

"Are you still able to move?"

In a flash of inspiration, Yu Zhi immediately asked.

"I'm fine!"

Akai spoke first with a smile, but his smile aggravated his wound, while Qingye simply nodded to indicate that she was fine.

"Since there are no problems, let's continue."

Upon seeing this, Yuzhi immediately rushed forward. Kai and Aoba exchanged a glance, still somewhat confused.

However, seeing Yuzhi's actions, they disregarded their own injuries and immediately rushed out after her.

"I know you're all wondering, so I'll keep it short. I think you should know what the ultimate goal of the mission is now."

Haori maintained her speed, then whispered to the two people beside her.

"Kannabi Bridge!"

Aoba spoke directly, but his gaze toward Yuzhi was somewhat complicated.

Actually, he had thought about this problem yesterday, but he wasn't sure. But now it seems that his guess was definitely correct.

However, everything about Yuzhi, from her initial actions to the direction she fled in, fit this perfectly.

Did Hagoromo already know about the mission from the moment she received it?

"That's right, it's the Kannabi Bridge."

Yuzhi nodded slightly, his expression becoming serious.

"I'm sorry, but I actually guessed what our mission was from the beginning."

But as I've said before, the key to this mission is Minato and his team.

Therefore, I did not explain in order to avoid the leakage of information.

"I understand, Haori."

Aoba nodded to show that she understood, but inwardly she thought, "As expected of Hagoromo."

Akai didn't say anything, but he already had complete faith in Yuzhi. He would do whatever Yuzhi said!

"The situation has changed now. Even though we are facing a Jinchuriki, I don't think Jonin Minato would make such a big fuss about such a secret mission."

Yuzhi continued speaking, explaining that although they had taken a longer route, they were still getting closer to the bridge.

Moreover, along the way, they also noticed many Iwa ninjas heading towards the bridge.

"So, I guess."

"Intentionally drawing the enemy away, so that Kakashi, or even us, can successfully complete the mission?"

Before Yuzhi could finish speaking, Aoba instantly realized what she meant.

"That's right, the Iwa ninja went to support the tailed beasts while you were fighting, which should be proof of that."

Yuzhi nodded, his gaze fixed ahead. Although the earth was rumbling, he could still hear faint sounds of battle.

"Furthermore, we saw many Iwa ninja heading towards the bridge when we arrived, so our mission should be adjusted accordingly."

If necessary, we'll need to blow up the bridge ourselves. Are you all ready?

Blow up the bridge yourself?

Upon hearing Yuzhi's words, Kai and Aoba exchanged a glance, then both looked at Yuzhi.

Neither of them spoke, but there was no fear in their eyes, only a resolute expression.

"I think I understand."

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Yuzhi smiled and nodded, then his expression turned serious.

"We've arrived. Prepare for battle!"

They burst out of the forest with a single stride, and a large bridge appeared before them.

In front of the bridge, dozens of Iwa ninja were gathered.

Kakashi's lightning flashed continuously as he engaged in fierce combat, with Rin Nohara standing behind him on guard. They were unable to break through his defenses.

"Haori, you guys"

When the three of them arrived, everyone involuntarily stopped.

Kakashi quickly retreated, while Rin Nohara looked at the three of them with surprise.

"Three more brats have arrived. Is Konoha out of people?"

The Iwa ninja watched as the three of them, though initially a little commotion, quickly calmed down. One of the Iwa ninjas even spoke in a cold voice.

Yuzhi nodded slightly to Rin, then turned his gaze to the Iwa ninja in front of him.

A moment later, he suddenly smiled.

"I don't know if there's anyone else, but the Iwa ninja I met before was much more humble than you. I think his name was Gari."

"How could this be? What happened to him?"

Upon hearing the name "Kari," a commotion arose among the Iwa ninja, with one of them even asking a question.

"Doesn't my presence here already explain everything?"

Hagoromo's eyes had turned crimson, and he took a small step forward.

"He's dead now."
