Chapter 179 Bridge Destruction Mission Completed, Evacuation!
"Chidori!!"
Kakashi, seeing Rin surrounded, also changed his expression drastically. He immediately activated Chidori without regard for the cost, and simultaneously unleashed his Lightning Release Armor to increase his speed as he rushed over.
Just as the two nearest Iwa ninjas were about to intervene, Chidori suddenly thrust at them, killing one and wounding the other!
"Stop him." But this delay allowed Iwa ninja Hikari to signal another Jonin to charge forward with his sword.
At the same time, Obito, who was rushing towards Rin, was also fiercely targeted by two Iwagakure Jonin, which made Obito extremely anxious and his eyes bloodshot!
Meanwhile, Kakashi and Obito were being stopped.
Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spear...
"Earth Release·Rock Stealing Stick..."
"Earth Release: Earth Splitting Palm..."
"Earth Release: Rock Collapse..."
Meanwhile, the Iwagakure members who were besieging Nohara Rin simultaneously launched their attack, unleashing a barrage of Earth Release techniques, along with kunai, shuriken, and explosive tags...
Just as Nohara Rin was about to instantly leave the spot, she felt her feet being gripped tightly and she couldn't move!
"Rin! This is outrageous!!" Seeing this, Obito became even more frenzied. His three-tomoe eyes blazed with fury as he unleashed a genjutsu to control a Jonin, while his hands simultaneously formed hand seals at lightning speed, "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique..."
The roaring fire dragon spewed out in the blink of an eye and rushed straight at the Iwagakure members, completely ignoring that another Iwagakure Jonin had already taken the opportunity to attack him from behind.
Kakashi was in a similar situation, enduring the flames and a single strike to buy time, he formed hand seals, "Earth Release: Multiple Earth Flow Walls..."
In an instant, four earthen walls rose up from all four sides, protecting Nohara Rin inside.
Although the two moved quickly, the Earth Release technique of Iwagakure was even faster!
"Boom... Rumble..."
The moment the earth flow walls formed on all four sides, the ground beneath Nohara Rin's feet was instantly shattered by the earth-escape technique. At the same time as the earth flow walls collapsed, the Rock Thief Stick and the Rock Pillar Spear also arrived simultaneously.
“You can’t escape this situation with your taijutsu alone, Konoha brat.” Tobi, disguised as an Iwa ninja, grinned, completely ignoring the collapsing ground and just holding onto Rin’s feet tightly.
In this way, no matter how strong the opponent is, they can only defend against attacks from one side, and will eventually be dragged underground and buried.
"Hmph, who told you I only know taijutsu?" Nohara Rin remained fearless in the face of danger, letting out a mocking snort as her hands unleashed visible blue chakra.
"What?!" Afei's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, but before he could react, two azure balls took shape in the blink of an eye.
'Super Strength Rasengan...'
Under the horrified gazes of Tobi and the other Iwa ninja, Nohara Rin unleashed Rasengan with both hands, shredding the incoming Earth Release attack. Simultaneously, she unleashed monstrous strength with both feet, kicking Tobi into a collapsing underground cavity and using the force to propel him forward.
"Bang... Rumble..." Taking advantage of this unexpected burst of speed, Nohara Rin appeared in front of the Iwagakure members almost in a blur, and threw two Rasengans at the same time.
Caught completely off guard, the two Iwagakure Jonin at the front were killed and injured in the blink of an eye, while several other Iwagakure Chunin who were nearby were also killed or injured...
Amidst this series of astonishing changes, Kakashi and Obito both broke free from their opponents and instantly appeared beside Rin Nohara, their faces pale.
"Rin, I'm so glad you're alright!" Obito was overjoyed despite the pain of being stabbed in the back. As long as Rin was alright, he would be willing to die, even if she was just injured.
"Rin, heal Obito first, I'll cover you." Kakashi, whose chest was also bright red, frowned and hurriedly said, his sharp eyes fixed on the other side, a sense of foreboding creeping into his mind.
Although many Iwa ninja were killed in the melee, the enemy still has sixteen members, including three Jonin who remain capable of fighting.
On their side, not only were he and Obito injured, but the three of them had also almost exhausted their chakra!
This is troublesome, this mission might be...
"Boom!!"
Almost the instant Kakashi began to worry, a deafening roar suddenly came from afar, causing everyone's expressions to change as they all looked towards the direction where flames were shooting into the sky.
"It's Kannabi Bridge! Oh no, they have accomplices!!" Hikari Iwagakure's face turned pale, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Kakashi and the other two, gritting his teeth.
After that explosion, no one would believe that Kannabi Bridge was unharmed. Damn it, they fell for Konoha's scheme!
[Accomplices? Could it be Minato-sensei??] Kakashi and Obito, upon hearing the Iwa ninja's shouts, exchanged a glance and simultaneously considered the same possibility.
"It's my shadow clone. It secretly spun out to blow up the bridge when Kakashi first activated Earth Release: Earth Wall. Now that the mission is complete, we can retreat." Just then, Nohara Rin's voice suddenly rang out, startling the two of them.
Instinctively, Kakashi and Obito simultaneously turned their gazes to Nohara Rin, their eyes filled with horror. Rin had actually secretly used Shadow Clone Jutsu back then? What a decisive reaction! Even they had been fooled!!
"Hurry up, I'll heal Obito first." Nohara Rin glared at him and urged in a low voice, quickly forming hand seals and igniting the Palm Healing Technique, which she then placed on Obito's back.
Obito and Kakashi weren't stupid either. Kakashi immediately threw out a smoke bomb to obscure their vision, and the three of them burst into full speed and turned to retreat!
Now that the mission is complete, there is no point in continuing the fight; getting out safely is the top priority.
"Chase them! We can't let them leave the border alive, otherwise the village won't let us off the hook after the Kannabi Bridge is destroyed!" Iwa ninja Kagami shouted with a ferocious expression, beckoning the remaining men to quickly give chase.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The Iwa ninja who were neither injured nor seriously injured simultaneously unleashed their chakra and quickly gave chase.
In the blink of an eye, the once lively and chaotic battlefield was reduced to just a few severely wounded Iwa ninjas barely clinging to life. The hot-tempered Iwa ninjas kept cursing the Konoha ninjas for being treacherous and cunning!
"Just by putting that girl in danger, he's upgraded to three tomoe? It seems that Nohara Rin is very important to Obito. Well, that's enough for today." A hundred meters away from the battlefield, Tobi reappeared, rubbing his flattened head and sighing helplessly.
All the Chunin White Zetsu he brought with him have been killed. If it were just him, continuing wouldn't cause any harm to Kakashi or Rin.
Moreover, Obito had just upgraded to the three-tomoe Sharingan, so he needed some time to adjust before making a decision.
Thinking of this, Afei didn't linger and immediately merged into the tree trunk, disappearing into the distance!
"He's gone? Good, so far the plan is going smoothly." The next second after Afei left, Ishikawa stared with red eyes and a slight smirk.
He had originally planned to erase some of Nohara Rin's memories in advance just in case, but now it seems he was being overly cautious!
“Then, I won’t stand on ceremony with this Jonin.” After a pause, Ishikawa looked at the heavily injured Iwagakure Jonin on the ground with burning eyes.
The only Iwa ninja left to guard the Kannabi Bridge was a Chunin squad led by a special Jonin. Although this allowed Ishikawa to successfully blow up the bridge, it also prevented him from obtaining any advanced Earth Release techniques.
Thinking of his need to catch up and secretly protect Nohara Rin, Ishikawa didn't delay and drew his White Fang, instantly killing several wounded Chunin. Under the bewildered gaze of the heavily injured Iwagakure Jonin, his right pupil trembled as he activated his eye technique...
