"What do you need me to do now?"
Before Kakashi Hatake could speak, they had already gathered in a guarded area of Iwagakure when someone suddenly spoke up.
"Konoha Demon Star!"
A Chunin pointed at Shingetsu Seiun, his face grim, and said, "I've seen the portrait. It's Konoha's Demon Star! That young master who recently rose to fame!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Iwagakure's expression changed drastically.
In the ninja world, especially during a crucial period like the Third Shinobi World War, no ninja who made a name for themselves was easy to deal with. Even the weakest among them was at least a Jonin level.
Kakashi Hatake, for example, hadn't earned his own reputation before obtaining Obito Uchiha's Sharingan and making a name for himself.
The White Fang of Konoha, the Yellow Flash, the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, Pakura with her Scorching Release... Behind every familiar name lies a bloody record of battle.
The expressions of the two Jonin from Iwagakure also turned serious.
If the opponent is indeed that Leaf Village Demon Star, then with their strength, they absolutely cannot be his match.
The two looked at each other and saw hesitation in each other's eyes—to retreat or not to retreat?
Retreat would be somewhat shameful. But if we don't retreat, we might never have the chance to retreat again.
A second later, they both understood what the other meant.
withdraw!
With a whistle, the hidden rocks retreated like a tidal wave towards the bridge.
Kakashi Hatake suddenly exclaimed, "No! They'll definitely sabotage the detonator!"
"Nebula Jonin, we must stop them!"
Shenyue Nebula asked, "Detonation device?"
Kakashi Hatake said, "Yes. We installed a detonator under the bridge, but we haven't had time to tidy up the fuse yet."
Shenyue Nebula: "How can we detonate it?"
Kakashi Hatake solemnly replied, "Link the chakra threads together using runes. Or ignite them simultaneously from all four directions with open flames."
"I wanted to send my shadow clone over, but it's too late now."
"As long as it's covered by an open flame, it can be ignited?" Shenyue Xingyun confirmed.
Kakashi Hatake nodded: "That's right."
Shenyue Xingyun: "In that case, leave it to me."
Watching the Iwagakure ninja rushing towards the bridge, he stretched out his hands, and with a surge of chakra, began to form hand seals.
Chapter 233 Nohara Rin: So sweet
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
The nine seals were executed rapidly in sequence.
Kakashi Hatake looked at the other person's hand seal and heard the familiar name, and a big "?" popped into his mind.
Fireball Jutsu?
Are you sure you can ignite detonators in four directions from this distance at the same time?
Beside him, Obito Uchiha, whose eyes were filled with unbearable pain, also had the same question in his mind.
Fireball Jutsu?
Did I hear that right?
They had heard that Shingetsu Nebula possessed a very powerful fire-style technique, but they didn't know it was the 'Great Fireball Technique,' so they couldn't help but feel puzzled.
The next second, their pupils shrank simultaneously.
fireball.
What a huge fireball!
A fireball over 100 meters in diameter appeared before their eyes. For a moment, Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha felt as if they were facing the sun directly.
That was a ninjutsu released by a ninja from the same generation!?
At this moment, the two felt the disparity in the ninja world.
"Boom!!" Flames roared past, engulfing the Iwagakure ninja who were hastily retreating with their backs to the group. Kakashi Hatake knew that the two Jonin might still have a chance to escape, but it would be difficult for the remaining Chunin to survive such a ninjutsu.
The flames roared as they continued forward.
It rolled over the rocks, rolled over the river, and finally spread across the river directly below the Kannabi Bridge.
A fireball, hundreds of meters high, was released into a surging sea of fire. Heat radiated and rose, and billowing smoke, along with flames, enveloped most of the bridge.
Two seconds later~
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!!!!!!~"
Flames erupted again from the bridge piers.
Unlike the fire-style techniques of Shingetsu Nebula, which rely primarily on pure heat, the most obvious characteristic of this detonator is its explosive nature.
The surging force blasted the bridge pier into pieces, sending up shockwaves of debris.
The Kannabi Bridge roared again.
The bridge piers cracked, and the bridge began to collapse—a continuous process. But as we can foresee, the mission was accomplished.
Kakashi Hatake suddenly moved and sped towards the bridge.
Shenyue Xingyun was wondering what the other party was going to do when he saw the short knife in the other party's hand and understood.
Weeds and roots.
It was clear that Kakashi Hatake had no intention of letting the two Jonin from Iwagakure go. Regardless of whether they survived Shingetsu Seiun's Fire Release or not, he wanted to see them alive or dead.
A few minutes later, Kakashi Hatake returned carrying a short sword, its blade stained with blood. As he wiped the sword, he spoke to Seiun Kamizuki.
"It's solved."
Shenyue Xingyun: "Thank you for your hard work."
Having dealt with the Iwagakure ninja, the chances of news of his arrival on the northwestern battlefield getting out were greatly reduced.
Kakashi Hatake replied, "It's not hard work."
"Thanks to your arrival, otherwise the three of us might not even have made it back alive, let alone completed the mission."
Thank you.
Shenyue Xingyun: "You're welcome."
Kakashi Hatake hesitated for a moment, then finally asked, "Also, how did you suddenly get here?"
"Did the Hokage assign you to provide support?"
When faced with this question, Shenyue Xingyun remained silent for a moment.
This was also a question he had been considering: how to explain Nohara Rin's predicament to him after he arrived.
He had prepared several reasons for this, so that he could have an explanation after the incident, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that none of those explanations seemed credible.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "This is a secret of our family, and it is related to our family heirloom."
Upon hearing this, Kakashi Hatake did not pursue the matter further.
He then asked, "Do you need me to keep your arrival a secret?"
Shenyue Xingyun nodded: "If possible, that would be best."
Kakashi Hatake nodded.
He turned to look at Nohara Rin, who was practically pressed against Shingetsu Seiun, and said, "Then you guys go first, we'll stay away."
With that, he pulled Uchiha Obito, who had a conflicted expression, away.
The latter wanted to say something, but seeing that Rin didn't even turn her head, she was ultimately led away by Kakashi Hatake, looking completely lost.
After the two had gone some distance, Nohara Rin could no longer contain herself and threw herself into Shinzuki Seiun's arms.
She looked up, her big eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"What treasure?"
"I didn't understand."
Shingetsu Seiun chuckled and took out the marriage chain that Nohara Rin had returned; its purple light shimmered before her eyes.
"This is it."
"Once I've worn it once, I'll be able to sense if you're in danger."
"Of course, only once."
Rin Nohara gazed at the purple necklace before her, her eyes sparkling. Her heart was filled with sweetness and happiness.
Only then did she realize that Shenyue Xingyun had been watching over her safety even before she went to the battlefield. Overwhelmed with emotion, her eyes welled up with tears.
"Nebula, it's me~"
Just as I was about to say something, Shenyue Xingyun had already put the marriage chain away again.
Nohara Rin paused in her speech.
'He must still be angry with me,' Rin Nohara thought, gripping his hands even tighter, as if trying to imprint herself onto him.
Shenyue Xingyun: "What's wrong, Lin?"
Nohara Rin: "Nothing much."
"I just suddenly realized that I was wrong in the past."
"Nebula, please forgive me."
Shenyue Xingyun: "..."
"I've never blamed you for anything. It's just a personal choice."
Nohara Rin: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
