Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 49: This script is a complete mess (please read on)

In the dense forest, Yuzhi quickened her pace and headed forward.

Ahead of him, several Mist Ninjas were also hurrying along, their figures faintly visible.

After a brief exchange with Hikari, Haori took action again.

However, when he arrived at the location where he had determined Kakashi was by sound, he found that Kakashi and Rin had disappeared, which gave him a headache.

The Mist Concealment Technique obscured his vision, so he couldn't completely determine where the two had gone.

Furthermore, he wasn't quite sure what Kakashi and Rin's current situation was!

"In the original story, Rin was apparently captured in a cave and then her Three-Tails was sealed away, right?"

To be honest, Hagoromo has never agreed with the idea that Rin's Three-Tails was sealed away.

On one hand, not long after Rin's death, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, became a Jinchūriki, which seems inconsistent with the time it takes for a Tailed Beast to revive after the death of a Jinchūriki.

Secondly, even if Madara has extremely high control over Kirigakure, it doesn't mean he can just take out the Tailed Beasts whenever he wants.

How could you possibly let a village's strategic weapons be used so carelessly? And even if you did take them out, where would you seal them away?

"So, what was actually sealed was the chakra of the tailed beasts, right?"

Yuzhi thought to himself, but he didn't have time to think about what it was anymore.

At that moment, he clearly saw several hidden figures in the mist seem to be making a quick retreat, and he followed them without hesitation.

These hidden fog spirits are clearly going to meet up with the others, so following them will definitely not be a problem.

The more Yuzhi followed along, the more she felt that something was amiss.

"Are these people deliberately bringing me along?"

Although it was outrageous, it became clear as Haori tried to accelerate and decelerate.

He clearly noticed that the Mist Ninja were still maintaining the same distance as before, and he became more and more certain that these people were leading him!

"What exactly is going on?"

Yuri was filled with doubts. In fact, from the moment he met Kisame and Zabuza, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the script.

In the original story, these two obviously didn't come, since everyone who came was wiped out by Obito!

But then these two appeared here and even fought with her, a situation that Yuzhi really couldn't understand.

"Could it be that Madara's script has really changed?"

Yuzhi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but at that moment he suddenly stopped.

His gaze was fixed on the front, and at that moment a group of Iwa ninja rushed out of the forest!

"Uchiha Haori?"

These Iwa ninja clearly didn't expect to encounter Konoha people here, let alone that they would meet Hagoromo!

They all noticed the commotion and saw people from the Mist Shadows moving around, which is why they followed.

At the moment they met, their gazes changed slightly.

"It's an honor to meet you. Although this is our first meeting, we've already memorized your appearance."

The leader of the Iwa ninjas suddenly smiled, his gaze fixed on the haori.

"You and a few other brats blew up the bridge with Minato Namikaze, which really gave us a hard time."

I wonder what Konoha would think if your head appeared on the negotiating table?

"How would I know such a thing?"

Yuzhi inwardly sighed at her bad luck, having to encounter someone from Iwagakure at this time.

He's starting to wonder if those hidden fog spirits deliberately lured him here.

But now he knows that this battle is probably unavoidable!

"But there's something I'm also curious about."

Yuri slowly raised the ninja sword she had picked up from Hozuki's hand, her eyes instantly turning crimson as she stared at the group of Iwa ninja.

"If Iwagakure had known how many people they were losing during the negotiations, what would the outcome have been?"

The moment she finished speaking, Yuzhi transformed into a blur and charged forward—

"Lin, hang in there! We'll be back at camp and rejoining the main force soon!"

On the other side of the forest, Kakashi encouraged Rin as they quickly made their way towards Konoha's camp.

Kakashi was also feeling quite heavy-hearted, because there were still twenty or thirty Kirigakure ANBU members chasing after them!

After dealing with one of the Hidden Mist members, he quickly woke Lin up, but by then the other Hidden Mist members had also returned.

This instantly put them in an awkward situation, and he could only quickly leave with Lin.

However, the Hidden Mist members behind them were pursuing them very quickly, and they couldn't create any distance between them at this point.

It's easy to imagine that once these people catch up with them, they'll be in real trouble!

"We must hold on, even if it means staying behind to cover the retreat, we must get Lin away."

Kakashi thought to himself, this wasn't because of the vow he made with Obito, but because it was a decision he had already made in his heart.

He cannot allow what happened before to happen again around him!

"Don't even think about running away!"

Just then, a ninja from the mist caught up from behind, drawing his short sword and swinging it fiercely at them!

"Damn it!"

Kakashi cursed under his breath, then drew his ninja sword and, with a flick of his Sharingan, instantly blocked the attack.

At the same time, arcs of electricity leaped across his ninja sword, almost instantly heading towards the Hidden Mist Anbu member.

The Hidden Mist ANBU member reacted extremely quickly; instead of continuing to entangle with Kakashi, he took a step back.

His goal was clearly very clear: to slow down Kakashi and the others so that the others could catch up smoothly!

As the other Hidden Mist Anbu members drew ever closer, Kakashi felt even more anxious.

Lin remained silent, deep in thought, but she never spoke.

She has always felt a deep sense of guilt; she truly feels that she has dragged everyone down.

She wasn't quite sure how Obito, Kakashi, or even Haori were doing now.

"I clearly wanted to protect everyone, so why..."

Even though she knew that, strictly speaking, she couldn't blame herself for the situation, she still couldn't help but think that way.

Boom, boom, boom—

But just then, a series of booming sounds suddenly rang out in front of them.

This interrupted not only Rin's thoughts but also Kakashi's, and they immediately looked ahead.

Such a roar indicates that a battle is taking place ahead. Could it be that reinforcements are arriving?

The next second, a figure suddenly darted out from the bushes.

The moment Kakashi and Rin saw the figure clearly, surprise and delight appeared in their eyes!

"Haori?"

"well?"

When Yuzhi turned his head, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Kakashi and Rin.

Especially when he saw the Hidden Mist ANBU behind the two men, he fell silent for a moment.

At that moment, the Iwagakure ninjas who were chasing after Hagoromo also rushed out one by one.

When they faced each other from a distance, neither side moved for a moment.

They probably never expected that Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure would run into each other in such a small forest!

"It's really lively."

The Iwagakure ninjas, witnessing this scene, spoke in hushed tones: "Whether it's Konoha or Kirigakure, these are their enemies!"

"I never expected to run into these guys."

The Hidden Mist ANBU, seeing that the Hidden Stone Village members were equally formidable, also began to look dangerous.

"Send the signal, make your move, and wipe out the people from Konoha and Kirigakure!"

"Move! Capture these Konoha ninja, and wipe out these Iwa ninja!"

Almost simultaneously, both sides gave the order, and the next second they charged at each other and at the same time at Yuzhi and the others.

"This script is a complete mess."

Seeing that the scene had completely devolved into a chaotic battle, Yuzhi could only curse under his breath and quickly respond to the enemy.

However, none of them noticed that a figure was rapidly approaching them.
