Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound came from behind the three of them.

"Oh no, enemy attack!"

"Prepare for battle."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a thick fog rose rapidly from the beach.

The abundant moisture in this environment is naturally favorable for the Hidden Mist Ninja.

The density and extent of the fog far exceed those over land.

Minato Namikaze and Kakashi exchanged a glance and immediately plunged into the thick fog.

Taking advantage of Minato Namikaze and Kakashi's absence, Fugaku Uchiha quickly transformed his three-tomoe eyes into Mangekyou Sharingan.

In an instant, they saw countless Hidden Mist Ninjas lurking in the jungle.

A quick glance suggests there are probably several hundred people.

There are quite a few people; it looks like it's going to be a fierce battle.

Fugaku Uchiha immediately deactivated his Mangekyou Sharingan, reverting to the Three Tomoe Sharingan, and leaped into the thick fog.

[Chapter 283. Verbal Provocation: Hero Saves the Beauty]

In the pitch-black underground rock strata.

Zetsu was leading Obito Uchiha on a stealthy journey towards the coast of the Land of Fire.

The underground world where Madara Uchiha lived was far from the coast of the Land of Fire.

Even with incredible speed, it would take a day to reach the world.

There is almost no light in the rock strata, so Obito cannot feel the passage of time.

All she knew was that a long time seemed to have passed, and she said with a slight sense of anxiety:

"Senior Jue, how long has it been? Haven't we arrived yet?"

The pitcher plant's white half-face grinned and said:

"It's quite a distance, but don't worry, we'll be there in a few hours."

Then you'll be able to see your beloved girlfriend.

Upon hearing this, Obito's face instantly turned red, and he stammered:

"girlfriend........

Hey, don't say anything...

Not yet...not yet.

Bai Jue nodded in belief, then a look of reminiscence appeared on his face as he said:

"Hmm... When I left earlier, I saw what looked like some Hidden Mist ninjas passing by."

I wonder if she's in any danger.

Obito was shocked upon hearing this and exclaimed excitedly, "What! Rin is in danger?"

"Senior Jue, please hurry!"

Black Zetsu said expressionlessly, "This is already the fastest, don't rush."

At this moment, on the battlefield by the sea in the Land of Waves.

Apart from Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha, everyone else was injured.

The ground was littered with the corpses of dead Kirigakure ninja.

The Uchiha clan sent their elite members this time, so only a few were killed in action.

Most of the Hidden Mist ninjas are cannon fodder, such as chuunibyou or genin.

After realizing their attack had failed, the Mist Village forces retreated like a receding tide.

After all, they had already achieved their goal of holding back the Uchiha elites.

The light of the setting sun was exceptionally rich and heavy, like a solution of pure gold, dyeing the battlefield a golden-red.

"hu~hu~"

The lightning in Kakashi's palm dissipated, and he supported himself on his knees, panting heavily.

Minato Namikaze approached Kakashi, his face filled with worry, and said:

"Kakashi, take a break."

You're pushing yourself too hard; it'll leave hidden injuries on your body.

Kakashi shook his head, large beads of sweat falling to the ground, and whispered, "I'm fine, I can keep going."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Minato Namikaze's eyes as he said:

"The enemy has not stopped attacking. Let's rest for a while before we talk again."

Kakashi nodded, straightened up, and faced the setting sun.

Suddenly, Kakashi froze, a look of panic crossing his face, and said:

"What time is it now?!"

Minato Namikaze hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "It's getting dark."

Kakashi's pupils suddenly contracted as he considered a terrifying possibility. He stared intently into Minato's eyes and said:

"Where's Lin? Why hasn't she come yet?"

A hint of reluctance flashed in Minato Namikaze's eyes as he lowered his head and said, "Perhaps it was delayed for some reason."

"I'll go back and check." Kakashi instantly teleported towards the beach.

But in an instant, a dark shadow flashed by, and Fugaku Uchiha stood in front of Kakashi with his arms crossed.

Kakashi frowned, his body erupting with Lightning Release chakra, and he flashed away, intending to bypass Fugaku Uchiha.

However, no matter which direction Kakashi ran in, Fugaku Uchiha always managed to get there first and block his way.

So strong...

But then Fugaku Uchiha's three-tomoe eyes slowly swirled as he looked down at Kakashi and said in a deep voice:

"Kakashi."

No matter what happens now, you can't go back alone.

We don't know when they'll launch an attack.

During wartime, ninjas must prioritize their missions.

Besides, they haven't arrived yet, and it's probably too late for you to get there in time."

Kakashi clenched his fists, his eyes also flashing with three tomoe, and met Fugaku Uchiha's gaze without fear, saying in a deep voice:

"I've already lost one companion, and I don't want to lose another."

Even the slightest glimmer of hope.

Minato Namikaze slowly approached Kakashi from behind, placed his hands on Kakashi's shoulders, and said to Fugaku Uchiha:

"Lord Fugaku, let him go."

Fugaku Uchiha narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "You are the new commander-in-chief, and everything is up to you."

Minato Namikaze forced a smile, took a deep breath, and said to Kakashi:

"Kakashi, I am issuing you a support mission as commander."

You must immediately proceed to the other side of the sea to ensure the safety of our logistical and medical personnel.

Kakashi nodded emphatically and said, "Understood!"

Having said that, he vanished from their sight with a teleportation technique and headed towards the sea.

Fugaku Uchiha crossed his arms and watched Kakashi's retreating figure speeding across the sea, saying calmly:

"By doing this, you might be harming him."

There might be a large group of enemies on the other side.

Minato Namikaze didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "How long will it take for our reinforcements to arrive?"

"There was no support until we drove the Hidden Mist ninja from the Land of Waves away."

Otherwise, the coastline would be left undefended.

Fugaku Uchiha turned and walked towards the makeshift base.

At this moment, Minato Namikaze felt more and more that Konoha had been harsh and indebted to the Uchiha.

He immediately placed his hands on his knees and bowed towards Uchiha Fugaku's retreating figure, saying:

"Feel sorry."

Fugaku Uchiha paused slightly, glancing sideways as he said:

"No need to apologize, because the Uchiha are the strongest ninja clan in Konoha."

I have already sent word to the clan to mobilize some of the clan members who are preparing for war.

The Uchiha clan's strength is far more than that.

The sun sets in the west, and the rabbit rises in the east.

The bright full moon sprinkled shimmering silver light on the calm sea.

A small, thin figure was running anxiously across the sea.

A series of ripples spread wherever his figure passed.

On the giant rocks on the coast.

Nohara Rin's eyelids trembled slightly, then her body jerked violently, her eyes snapped open, and she cried out in alarm:

"Ah! A monster!"

The first thing that catches the eye is the full moon hanging high in the night sky.
