Chapter 126 The Dead White Moonlight is the Most Beautiful White Moonlight
Within the bamboo forest, sharp bamboo stalks constantly attacked from all directions.
Clearly, the other side was prepared and knew they were coming.
Kakashi understood that the guy Minato killed yesterday was most likely just a patrolman. Since the patrolman hadn't returned by nightfall, the Iwa ninja knew someone was coming to ambush them, so they prepared an ambush in advance.
"Fighting like this isn't working; we have to break out!"
Kakashi thought to himself and quickly confirmed the direction. He saw a figure in the bamboo forest. Clearly, it was the Iwa ninja hiding in the shadows controlling the mechanism.
"Hatake Style: Ryujinja Flash!"
Kakashi swung his ninja sword, White Fang, and charged straight out.
When the Iwa ninja in the shadows saw Kakashi rushing over so quickly, he stopped hiding and leaped out of his hiding place, revealing the sharp blade strapped to his arm.
"Rock Blade Style: Thrust!"
He unleashed two punches, sending two sharp blades stabbing towards Kakashi.
Kakashi swung his sword to block, but this rock blade weapon was really strange. Although it was double-edged, it used fist techniques.
"Fist blades? The Iwa ninja really know how to use some strange weapons."
Kakashi mentally complained to himself, then quickened his pace.
However, the other party was clearly a seasoned veteran with extensive experience.
The stranger the weapon, the more difficult it is to judge the opponent using ordinary combat experience.
It appears to be a sword, but it is actually a fist technique, and the most important aspects of fist techniques are footwork and body movement.
Furthermore, this guy's twin swords are strapped to his arms, and he can also form hand seals to unleash ninjutsu.
For a moment, Kakashi actually seemed somewhat passive.
"Kakashi!"
Obito exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't expected Kakashi to be so reckless, charging forward all by himself.
"Obito!"
"Rin, let's hurry and catch up! Don't let Kakashi get too far behind us!"
As they spoke, Obito and Rin braved the fierce rain of bamboo and rushed forward.
Another wave of sharp flying bamboo traps came, and Obito once again activated the Great Fireball Technique. The fireball surged and instantly destroyed the flying bamboo.
"Obito!"
"Lin?"
When Obito heard Rin's exclamation, he turned around and saw a tall and burly Iwagakure ninja who had appeared behind them at some point and grabbed Rin.
When Hikari Iwa saw that her companion had captured a brat, she immediately turned and retreated to Oishi's side.
"You bastard, let Lin go!"
"Heh, dream on, kid."
Iwagakure Oishi sneered, knocked Rin unconscious, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and ran away.
"Lin!"
Obito immediately wanted to give chase, but as soon as he took a step, the firelight triggered a mechanism, and a large number of flying bamboos fell from the sky.
Obito hurriedly used ninjutsu to defend himself, but in that short time, Huoguang and Daishi had already disappeared into the bamboo forest with Rin.
"Ah—! Lin—!"
Kakashi frowned when he saw Rin being taken away.
"There's still one more person! Where is he hiding?!"
"How dare you say that!"
An enraged Obito stepped forward and grabbed Kakashi by the collar.
"It's all your fault for acting rashly and stubbornly, which allowed that Iwa ninja to kidnap Rin!"
"What does this have to do with me? It's because you yourselves didn't discover the enemy."
How could you say that! You're our captain now!
Kakashi remained silent in the face of Obito's questioning.
Looking at the guy in front of him who showed no reaction whatsoever to Rin being captured, Obito released Kakashi in exasperation and turned to walk in the direction where the boulder had disappeared.
"Where are you going? Our mission isn't finished yet."
"Mission, mission, all you can think about is the mission! Have you forgotten? When you and I were injured, it was Rin who saved our lives with her medical ninjutsu! Without her, we would have died countless times during the mission!"
Lin is more important than the mission!
"What do you know!"
Kakashi, unusually, roared at Obito.
"My father was a hero of Konoha. He sacrificed himself for a mission and became a role model for everyone. As his son, I must carry on his legacy! Everyone in the village is watching! Watching me, the son of Konoha's White Fang, I cannot fail. I will not allow myself to fail. I bear the glory of my father because I am the son of Konoha's White Fang!"
Ninjas prioritize missions above all else!
"Snapped--!"
He slapped Kakashi across the face.
Kakashi never expected that Obito would actually hit him.
Obito shook his head, his face full of disappointment.
"Senior Sakumo is a hero and a role model for everyone, but Senior Sakumo must be very disappointed to see you now."
Do you really think that Sakumo-senpai is called a hero because he was willing to die to complete the mission? You're wrong. Sakumo-senpai is a hero because he would sacrifice himself to protect others!
And you, you couldn't even protect your own teammates. Sakumo-senpai must be very disappointed in you. I'm also very disappointed in you, Kakashi. Rin and I don't need your protection; we'll protect Rin ourselves."
After saying that, Obito turned and left; he was going to save Rin.
After taking only a few steps, Obito turned around and looked at Kakashi.
"In the world of ninjas, those who break the rules and violate conventions are called scum. But those who don't cherish their comrades are even worse than scum. If anyone thinks that such behavior doesn't count as ninja behavior, then I will defeat that so-called ninja."
After saying that, Obito sped away, leaving Kakashi alone.
Inside the cave, the unconscious Lin was tied to a wooden stake. Huoguang and Daishi planned to extract some information about Konoha from Lin through torture.
"Da Shi, you go out and keep watch. Those two brats will definitely come to rescue their companions. We'll catch them all then."
"I understand."
Daishi activated his camouflage technique and prepared to leave, but suddenly his movements froze, and at the same time, Huoguang's movements also froze.
"Oh dear, the right opportunity has finally arrived. It's been such a long wait."
Tetsuya slowly emerged from underground and looked at the situation inside the cave.
Rin was still unconscious, while Oishi and Hikari, the two Jonin from Iwagakure, had blank, unfocused eyes. They were clearly under the influence of a genjutsu.
These guys were active in the Land of Grass, and they couldn't escape Tetsuya's eyes at all. He waited for quite a while near the Kannabi Bridge, and finally, Obito and the others arrived.
Tetsuya looked at Rin with curiosity, observing this white moonlight that Obito could never forget.
"As expected of the person Obi-chan longed for, she is indeed quite beautiful. However, as everyone knows, the deceased white moonlight is the most beautiful white moonlight."
As he spoke, he took out a scarecrow, took a drop of blood from Lin's fingertip and placed it on the scarecrow. The scarecrow immediately changed, and two spots similar to those on Lin's face appeared on its face.
"What if Obito sees his deceased beloved come back to life in the future? I really look forward to that day."
