The Master of Konoha's Legacy

But then Nohara Rin's lips moved slightly, and she murmured:

"Am I dead...?"

"You're not dead, but you'll soon be living a life worse than death."

A white cat-face mask moved into Rin Nohara's line of sight, obscuring the full moon in the sky.

Nohara Rin snapped back to her senses and instinctively tried to make a move, but found that her body was already bound and she could not move at all.

He immediately asked in a panic, "What did you do to me?"

Uchiha Tonan's instant clone shook his head and cackled:

"I didn't do anything special, I just injected the Three-Tailed Isobu into your body."

"Now you are the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails."

Rin Nohara was taken aback by what she heard. Recalling the terrifying behemoth in her dream, she murmured, "Jinchūriki... why would you do this?"

Uchiha Tonan naturally needed to explain the serious consequences to Nohara Rin so that she would be tempted to commit suicide.

Humans have a rebellious streak.

The more the enemy doesn't want her to do something, the more she will subconsciously want to do the opposite.

But then, the instant clone stretched out its rough, large hand and roughly stroked Nohara Rin's pretty face, chuckling:

"The Three-Tailed Isobu lives in the water all year round. The Mizukage instructed us to find a container to transport the Three-Tailed to Konoha."

Then we'll break your seal and release the Three-Tailed Beast.

Hmph...

At this time, Konoha must be depleted in terms of fighting strength, and it would be difficult for them to withstand the destruction of the Three-Tails.

Who knows how many people will die then...

Rin Nohara felt a burning pain on her face, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.

He frantically shook his head, trying to avoid the desecration of the clone's massive hand, and screamed hysterically:

"I...I won't let you succeed."

The instant clone increased the force in her hands, rubbing Nohara Rin's face until it turned purplish-red.

He chuckled again, hinting with his words:

"It's no use. We've placed a curse mark on you, so you can't hurt yourself at all."

"Just be a good vessel; your mission will be over when the Three-Tails is released."

Upon hearing this, Nohara Rin's eyes showed despair.

He was completely stunned, motionless, offering no resistance to the instant clone's torment.

Seeing her expression, Uchiha Tonan felt a slight displeasure.

How can they lose their fighting spirit so easily?

Without fighting spirit, how can one have the determination to make a heroic sacrifice?

The clone's eyes flashed coldly, then it suddenly spread its arms wide and shouted:

"Oh!"

Rin Nohara, who had been lost in despair, was startled by the sudden scream.

A demonic voice emanated from beneath the cat-face mask of the instant clone.

"You'll be blown to bits, like fireworks..."

At this point, Nohara Rin went completely mad, twisting her body desperately and screaming:

"Bastard... Waaaaah..."

Uchiha Tonan wouldn't let her vent her emotions, so he immediately stuffed Nohara Rin's mouth with a rag.

"Snapped!"

A bright red five-finger mark appeared on Nohara Rin's pretty face.

The clone glanced sideways at the sea, a mocking glint in its eyes beneath the mask, and chuckled:

"What an uncivilized woman."

Alright, now that you've successfully become a Jinchūriki, we'll send you to Konoha now.

As soon as he finished speaking, dazzling lightning suddenly burst forth from behind his clone.

[Chapter 284. Creating a Dead End Through Slowing Down]

"Sizzle sizzle..."

"Lightning Blade - Double Lightning Strike!"

In the blink of an eye, the instant clone leaped to the side, barely dodging Kakashi's Lightning Blade attack.

Kakashi, wielding lightning, landed steadily on the boulder where Rin Nohara lay, as if a god had descended to earth.

He immediately dispersed the lightning with his left hand and grasped the white teeth on his back.

A flash of white light appeared, the blade returned to its sheath, and the ropes binding Nohara Rin had been cut.

Kakashi stared intently at the Hidden Mist ninjas surrounding him, his face grave, and said in a deep voice:

"Lin, are you alright?"

Freed from her restraints, Nohara Rin threw away the rag in her mouth, gazing at Kakashi's retreating figure, her heart completely captivated, and murmured dreamily:

"Kakashi......."

The clones weren't in a hurry to rush forward, after all, there was still one main character who hadn't arrived yet.

A clone of himself spoke in a playful tone:

"Hey, where did this Uchiha brat come from? Trying to play the hero and save the damsel in distress without even considering your own strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the instant clones drew their long swords, seemingly ready to rush up and finish off Kakashi at any moment.

Kakashi's three tomoe slowly rotated as he scanned the crowd and mentally calculated the strength of both sides.

Are they all from the Hidden Mist Anbu...?

Based on what that guy said earlier, they probably wouldn't hurt Lin.

So as long as I'm fast enough, I won't be surrounded.

As long as you're careful not to run out of chakra, you should be able to win if you fight slowly.

After thinking for a moment, Kakashi's lips curled slightly, and lightning crackled in his hands as he coldly said:

"Hmph, I think I'm more than capable of dealing with you."

"Sizzle sizzle..."

Behind her, Rin Nohara said worriedly, "Kakashi, be careful."

Kakashi turned his head slightly, a smile that captivated Rin Nohara appearing on his face, and said with an air of confidence:

"Don't worry, I'm here."

In the next instant, Kakashi transformed into a zigzag of lightning, launching the first attack and charging into the crowd.

"Raise-Slash - Double Thunderclap".

The first target of the attack was the instant clone that had been scaring Rin earlier.

Hmph, I'll start by targeting you.

With the terrifying dynamic vision enhanced by the three-tomoe jade, the movements of the surrounding Hidden Mist members became extremely slow.

With the cat-face mask covering his face, Kakashi couldn't see the other person's expression, but he could guess that the other person must be very shocked by his strength.

The distance between the two quickly closed.

In Kakashi's sight, the other party slowly drew out a long sword.

"die!"

Kakashi let out a deep shout, and the Lightning Blade in his hand was almost touching the opponent's abdomen.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but the tip of the opponent's long sword was aimed directly at Kakashi's inevitable path.

It looked as if Kakashi was deliberately running into the tip of a knife.

Kakashi's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly shifted his body slightly to the side, dodging the blade.

However, the Raikiri in his hand just happened to pass by the opponent's side.

But it doesn't matter, speed is everything.

Kakashi dashed behind his opponent in an instant, then turned back and aimed his Lightning Blade at the back of the clone.

But the next moment, a knife tip emerged from under the other person's armpit.

Just before Kakashi was about to achieve his goal, they blocked his path once again.

How can it be!

Is it a coincidence?

Kakashi was taken aback and stopped in time.

Lightning paused for a moment, then charged toward another member of the Mist Shadow Anbu.

Unfortunately... no matter how Kakashi attacked.

Which hidden strategist should we attack?

The opponent was able to use slow attacks to force Kakashi to stop his offensive.

This feeling made Kakashi feel extremely uncomfortable.

Even though the speed of these hidden members of the Dark Guard was as slow as a snail in his eyes.

But they seem to be able to predict their own attack trajectory and always start their actions in advance.

This kind of combat experience... is terrifying.
