Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it

Uzuki Yuhi nodded, then went to the sand table, pulled a pen from his hair, and began to explain the undulating terrain on the sand table.

"The Cloud Hidden Battlefield is different from other battlefields, with mountains and rivers intertwined and complex terrain."

"Although the battle is relatively stable under Lord Minato's command, overall we are still at a disadvantage."

"Thanks to their familiarity with the terrain and climate, the ninjas of Kumogakure have a great deal of initiative in battle..."

As Uzuki Yuhi narrated his story clearly and logically, Shingetsu Seiun gradually came to understand the situation on the battlefield.

The situation is rather bad.

The reasons for Konoha's weakness mainly stem from two aspects, one of which is the terrain.

This battlefield was chosen by the Hidden Cloud Village. Their familiarity with the landscape far surpasses that of their command using a sand table, giving them a significant advantage due to the terrain.

Second, high-level combat capabilities.

Originally, with Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze both here, they were able to handle the top-tier combat power of Kumogakure with relative ease. However, since Jiraiya's sudden disappearance, Kumogakure's high-end combat power has surpassed that of Konoha.

Even Minato Namikaze struggled to cope with the combined might of Raikage's successor, A, and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee. Both were top-tier close-combat experts, making it difficult for Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique to mark them. In certain situations, they could risk splitting up to fight, each split causing significant losses for the Konoha ninja, who barely managed to stay afloat thanks to Minato's constant efforts to put out fires.

As the setting sun of the Rabbit Moon paused its narration, it looked towards the Divine Moon Nebula.

"Nebula Jonin, if you can handle one of these two, the pressure on the northern front will be greatly reduced."

Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "I will do my best."

She didn't make any boastful claims, hoping to improve Uzuki Yuhi's impression of him. Then, she took out three palm-sized notebooks and handed them to Shinzuki Seiun.

"Nebula Jonin, choose one."

Shenyue Xingyun looked at the three notebooks in front of her, which were red, pink, and purple.

He chose purple.

"What is this?" he asked Uzuki Yuhi, holding the notebook in his hand.

The latter replied, "Nebula Jonin, you must keep this doujinshi safe. No one else can see it except yourself."

"This is the signal codebook that I compiled."

"A signal codebook?"

“Yes.” Uzuki Yuhi said, “In order to make up for the advantage of Kumogakure’s familiarity with the terrain, we chose to use signal flares to transmit messages on the Kumogakure battlefield. Each team that carries out a combat mission has a codebook, and you and Lord Minato each have a separate codebook.”

"Different colored signal flares represent different meanings, and even the same colored signal flare can be deciphered with different codebooks to reveal different information."

"So you must remember this."

Shenyue Xingyun: "...Impressive."

Looking at Uzuki Yuhi's beautiful face, he felt a surge of admiration.

No wonder I couldn't sense much chakra fluctuation from him, yet he became a special Jonin; he must have real skills.

Being solely responsible for the code compilation and transmission of a front is no easy task.

She's much better than her younger sister who only knows how to spar.

……

"Lin, am I good?"

"Great."

At the camp entrance, a small team of three had just returned.

A carefree boy wearing goggles followed behind a bright girl with purple face paint, asking her questions. After receiving an affirmative answer, his happy eyes sparkled.

"Kakashi, look, even Rin says I'm great, and you still won't admit it."

Kakashi Hatake walked silently to the side, offering no response.

Obito Uchiha persisted: "Kakashi, what's wrong with you praising me? Is it so hard to admit I'm good?"

"If I hadn't taken care of that guy who suddenly attacked you today, you would have been in danger."

Kakashi Hatake turned his head and said, word by word, "I told you, I can handle this myself."

Obito Uchiha scoffed, "You're just being stubborn."

"You were surrounded by two people at the time. Could you have handled one more person?"

"It's all thanks to my quick thinking and intelligence that I was able to complete the mission successfully."

Kakashi Hatake: "I..."

"Oh well, never mind." Obito waved his hand, interrupting Kakashi Hatake: "No need to push yourself."

"It's okay if you don't say thank you."

"I know I did well, I know I'm improving quickly, and my counter-attacks were cool."

"You're welcome. It's what I should do as a teammate."

Kakashi Hatake: "..."

He noticed that Obito had become increasingly arrogant lately.

Looking at the smug Obito, he thought to himself.

'Don't blame me, Obito; you were just too arrogant.'

Then, he cleared his throat and spoke to Obito Uchiha, whose walking posture was quite flamboyant.

"Kamizuki Seiun is a ninja."

Obito Uchiha paused in his steps.

Kakashi Hatake's lips curled into a smile beneath his mask, and he continued, "And he's not just any Jonin, he's a Jonin with a very prestigious reputation."

"The Leaf Demon Star".

"A Konoha genius on par with Uchiha's Shisui of the Body Flicker Technique."

Obito Uchiha stood frozen in place. In Kakashi Hatake's eyes, he gradually turned to stone and cracked.

Chapter 203 Meeting

"Heh~" Kakashi Hatake chuckled softly.

He knew where Obito Uchiha's weakness lay. The other party's arrogance was utterly presumptuous.

Ignoring Obito Uchiha, who was frozen in place with a face as ugly as if he had eaten shit, he was about to continue walking forward when he suddenly saw Rin Nohara's expression changing.

Kakashi Hatake had a bad feeling in his heart.

They were so focused on counterattacking Obito Uchiha that they forgot this was an area-of-effect attack.

He looked awkwardly at Nohara Rin, whose mood had suddenly plummeted, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

"Look what you've done!" Obito Uchiha complained to Kakashi Hatake, then hurried over to Rin Nohara's side.

"Rin, Kakashi..."

"I'm fine." Nohara Rin didn't let Uchiha Obito continue, and she gave him a bright smile.

"I was just spacing out. Let's go back."

She spoke as she walked forward as if nothing had happened.

But in my heart, that familiar figure inevitably comes to mind again.

'Nebula~'

Nohara Rin silently recited this in her heart.

In his mind, the other person's appearance became clearer and clearer.

Although Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha never mentioned this name in front of her, this was the front line, and she could still hear news about Shingetsu Nebula from other ninjas from time to time.

Leaf Demon Star.

A genius from an ordinary ninja clan.

A powerful ninja who surpasses even a Jonin.

She told herself to stop listening and stop paying attention, but whenever she heard other ninjas talking about each other, she couldn't help but stop and watch.

Reach out and gently touch your heart.

That was the necklace that Shenyue Xingyun had given her.

If we meet again, how should we face each other?

Her absent-mindedness was noticed by Obito Uchiha, who, even if he was a bit dim-witted, knew that Rin Nohara was in a bad mood.

"Rin, please don't overthink it. Kakashi didn't bring it up on purpose."

"Lin, let's roast some potatoes when we get back. We haven't had them in ages."

"Lin, look at me, don't you think?"

Nohara Rin looked helplessly at Uchiha Obito.

"Obito, I'm fine now that I've told you."

“But you clearly look like you have something on your mind,” Obito Uchiha said with concern.

"Lin, listen to me. Don't take the people and things that make you unhappy to heart."

"Don't worry, as I cultivate diligently and become stronger, I will eventually awaken the Three Tomoe."

"By then, I'll definitely be a Jonin, and I'll protect you then."

Rin Nohara gave a faint, wry smile: "Thank you, Obito."

"But no need, you should focus on your own cultivation."

Obito felt a slight pang of pain in his heart.

Just as I was feeling heartbroken, I suddenly heard voices coming from ahead.

The voice sounds somewhat familiar.

He looked up and first saw his team leader, Jonin Minato Namikaze, following the sound. But then he saw a familiar figure, his pupils dilated, and his body tensed up abruptly.
