"Tashita-sama, Takuya-sama."
Just then, two Kirigakure ANBU Chunin escorted the tightly bound Nohara Rin to the two of them and bowed respectfully.
"Target captured. Shall we begin the Three-Tails sealing ritual immediately?"
"Let's begin. We don't have much time. The sooner we get the Three-Tails Jinchuriki to Konoha, the better our chances of winning will be. I've longed to visit the prosperous Land of Fire for a long time!"
"Are you ready, Yuanshang?"
"Hmph! Who do you think I am! I am the legendary ninja of Takuyahara, who has never failed a mission!"
Takuya clapped his hands, and the gourd that sealed the three tails appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.
Led by Jonin Takuya and Matsubara, their squad members provided full support as they began to break the sealing technique on the gourd.
Subsequently, they transferred the Three-Tails along with the sealing technique into Nohara Rin's body in an extremely brutal manner.
If the intention is to seal the tailed beasts for a long time and cultivate a qualified jinchūriki, minor characters like Takuya Hara and Tashita Matsubara are definitely not qualified to be the leaders of the sealing technique.
However, Kirigakure's goal this time was merely to use the Three-Tailed Isobu as a powerful time bomb.
They only need to choose a suitable target and temporarily seal the Three-Tails inside her body. The sealing technique only needs to be maintained until she is sent to Konoha.
When that time comes, Isobu, once broken free of his seal, will be incredibly violent and wreak havoc. Konoha, as the host village, will be in dire straits.
With the four major ninja villages joining forces to besiege it from the outside, and the tailed beasts running rampant from within, the destruction of Konoha seems to be a foregone conclusion.
At this moment, even Uchiha Sō, who was hiding in the Great Heaven, had to admit that if Kirigakure's conspiracy really succeeded, Konoha would probably face a catastrophic disaster.
Unfortunately, Madara Uchiha's true purpose in controlling Kirigakure was merely to use Rin Nohara's death to make the exceptionally talented Obito Uchiha a pawn in his hands.
Obito believed that Madara Uchiha had instilled hatred for Konoha in him, thus enabling him to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan!
Little did they know, Madara Uchiha's true intention was to prepare for his own resurrection.
You think he's on the third level of thinking, but little do you know, he's already hidden in the most basic first level!
He cleverly exploited human weaknesses to deeply conceal his ultimate goal.
However, Black Zetsu, who was lurking beside him, had been plotting for countless years in order to find his mother!
The ninja world is too complicated; even Obito and Madara couldn't handle it!
Only I, Uchiha Sō, as a revolutionary pioneer, am determined to overthrow Konoha, end the chaos of the Five Great Nations, and break the destiny set by the Six Paths, so that I can lead this corrupt ninja world to create unprecedented glory!
I am the destiny of the ninja world!
Chapter 14, The Proud Uchiha Elephant
The crude sealing ritual naturally resulted in unbearable and intense pain.
Rin Nohara's petite body convulsed and spasmed in pain under the frenzied infusion of tailed beast chakra, constantly twisting into terrifying and bizarre postures.
Her face was contorted with pain, and sweat poured down her face, soaking her clothes, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered without uttering a word.
To Uchiha Sho's surprise, this seemingly weak medical ninja was able to remain completely silent under such cruel torture.
Even when she lost consciousness from the pain during the sealing process, only to be awakened by the pain, she still gritted her teeth and did not make any sound that would excite or please those bloodthirsty mist ninjas.
"What a strong girl! No wonder she became Obito's obsession!"
"How boring... there's not a single happy reaction!"
Takuya grumbled to himself, then kicked Nohara Rin, who had been made into a temporary Three-Tails Jinchuriki and was so weak that she couldn't even move a finger.
Upon seeing this, Matsubara frowned, feeling utterly disdainful of his companion's act of brandishing a knife at the weak.
He stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Lord Yuan, she is just a pitiful person. There is no need to torture her any longer."
Later, the Anbu who went to hunt them down rejoined the team, but brought bad news: Kakashi had successfully passed on the information that Kirigakure had suddenly joined the war, and he himself had disappeared.
"Hmph! Useless fellow, you can't even keep this wounded brat with you!"
Takuya harshly reprimanded the returning members of the ANBU squad.
"The village's secret service is becoming increasingly corrupt!"
He continued his angry rant.
Then, Takuya turned his gaze to Hozuki Suigetsu and Kaguya Taketori, and asked in a deep voice, "It's too late, should we charge over now?"
Faced with this urgent situation, Hozuki Suigetsu decisively gave the following order:
"Although Konoha may have received Kakashi's intelligence, their ninjas stationed on the borders of the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning cannot be withdrawn quickly. As long as we act fast enough, we can still break through Konoha's defenses and inflict unbearable losses on them..."
“Hey! Mizuki-kun is right,”
Tanoshita Matsubara chimed in, "Everyone should take soldier pills to replenish their strength. We need to reach the mission location before Konoha sets up its defenses."
Tanoshita Matsubara also understood that on the battlefield, time is life, and every minute and every second is crucial.
Therefore, all the ninjas of Kirigakure took Kirigakure-version soldier pills to ensure they were in peak condition.
Then, taking the weakened Nohara Rin with them, this team of dozens of elite Kirigakure ANBU members rushed towards Konoha Village at an extremely fast speed.
Not long after they left, a small ninja dog quietly approached the vicinity of the desolate outpost.
It pricked up its ears to listen to the sounds inside the outpost, and then carefully sniffed the human scent mixed with the smell of blood in the air. Its face clearly became worried and distressed.
It vanished instantly in a puff of smoke, then went to report to its master.
"They've headed towards Konoha Village, Kakashi, should we chase after them?"
The voice of the ninja dog echoed in Kakashi Hatake's mind.
"Absolutely!"
Several miles from the outpost, atop a towering ancient tree, Kakashi Hatake tended to his wounds while muttering to himself in a cold tone,
"The intelligence has been relayed back, and the Third Hokage and Lord Orochimaru will take appropriate action. Kakashi, the Jonin of Konoha, has completed his mission. The rest is Kakashi's personal matter."
"Wang, you'll die if you charge in alone, Kakashi?"
The ninja dog Pakkuma nervously scratched at the rough bark in front of him with his two front paws, trying to persuade him in a low voice.
"The enemy has at least four Kirigakure Jonin leading the team. You'd be struggling to take on that genius from the Hozuki clan alone, wouldn't you? Add to that dozens of other elite ninjas, and if you charge in alone, you'll only be throwing your life away, let alone saving Nohara Rin!"
Parker said anxiously.
"I know,"
Kakashi's tone remained cold and resolute, "My life was bought with Obito's life. I promised him I would protect Rin. Even if it costs me my life, I will not hesitate!"
"Wang, I've said what I needed to say. I can't control you anymore, Kakashi. At worst, you might die in battle, and I'll bring Konoha ninjas to collect your body!"
Parker sighed helplessly.
However, at that moment, a somewhat familiar, clear, youthful voice suddenly joined his conversation with the ninja dog.
"Little dog, that's not necessarily true!"
Kakashi Hatake stood up abruptly, holding a kunai and looking around warily.
The voice was so familiar, yet it appeared so abruptly, sending a chill down his spine.
Just now, the voice seemed to appear out of thin air, abrupt and clear.
Judging from the volume of the voice, the speaker should be no more than ten meters away.
At such close range, it was enough for the other side to launch a sneak attack silently.
who is it?
How could someone, despite being on high alert, sneak so close to me without being detected?
Kakashi Hatake felt a jolt of alarm bells ringing in his mind. He gripped his kunai tightly, his entire body tense, preparing to face the impending danger.
However, at that moment, a figure wearing a black and gold dragon-patterned divine robe quietly emerged from the shadow of a nearby tree.
With a light leap, he landed gracefully in front of the young Kakashi Hatake.
"Oh dear, isn't this our famous genius boy from Konoha? What happened to you? You look so disheveled?"
Uchiha Eiji said in a tone that was both playful and sarcastic.
Kakashi looked at the Uchiha clan member who had suddenly appeared before him, and a surge of anger welled up inside him: "Uchiha Sō? What are you doing here alone?"
"No news has come back from the front-line outposts for too long. Lord Orochimaru sent me here to check on the situation!"
Uchiha Sho explained calmly, "I just arrived and heard something interesting, so I decided to lend you a hand!"
"This is my private matter, I don't need your help!"
Kakashi looked at Uchiha Sō warily; his relationship with this man wasn't very good.
"Don't be nervous, Kakashi,"
Uchiha Ei smiled and said, "After all, you also have an Uchiha eye. If you fall into the hands of Kirigakure, it would be a disgrace to the Uchiha clan."
"and,"
He changed the subject, "I also want to see what level the genius from Kirigakure is at, the one who could push you to this point!"
Kakashi sneered upon hearing this: "Hmph! How arrogant you are, Uchiha Ezra!"
"Heh, aren't you just as proud, young man!"
Uchiha Sho retorted sharply.
The two stared at each other for a moment, the atmosphere tense. But then, Kakashi suddenly spoke up, "Thank you..."
Uchiha Xiang was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then a playful smile appeared on his lips: "You're welcome, I quite admire you..."
As the voices faded, Uchiha Sō and Hatake Kakashi blurred into two afterimages and chased after the Hidden Mist ninja.
They moved incredibly fast, almost blending into the night, leaving only the sound of a cold wind echoing through the woods.
Chapter 15, The Dance of Water and Fire
From the moment Hozuki Suigetsu mastered the Water Transformation Technique, he was able to keenly sense subtle changes in the moisture content of his surroundings, thereby accurately pinpointing the enemy's hiding place.
After all, water makes up as much as 60% of the human body.
Upon learning that Kakashi Hatake had narrowly escaped the pursuit of his own ANBU, Suigetsu Hozuki immediately went into a state of high alert, activating all his sensory abilities to deal with any possible emergencies.
