Chapter 172 Kaleidoscope, the Kannabi Bridge Mission Arrives
"What is that? Chakra is appearing in this state?!" Haku exclaimed in shock upon seeing Naruto's transformation. Is this guy a monster?
The mere release of chakra was enough to instill fear and unease in him, and he felt a faint urge to turn around and flee immediately.
But thinking of Lord Zabuza, Shiro gritted his teeth and forced himself to defeat him.
Just then, "Boom..."
Bai only saw a blue afterimage flash by before his ice crystal was shattered from the outside.
At the same time, Kakashi appeared in front of Naruto.
"So fast! He's definitely not someone Zabuza and I can handle." Byakuya's eyes flashed with shock, and without hesitation, he immediately turned and headed straight for Zabuza.
Kakashi has already left Zabuza's side; this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Release." Ignoring Sakura, Haku swiftly arrived beside Zabuza, disrupting the flow of chakra and dispelling the genjutsu.
At the same time, "Roar!!"
Even as Naruto went berserk, he was held down by Kakashi and continued to resist, but the moment his ferocious beastly eyes met Kakashi's left eye...
The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan erupted instantly, causing Naruto's eyes to freeze and fall into a daze.
"That eye? How... how is that possible??" Sasuke, who was still shocked by Naruto's transformation, was dumbfounded when he saw Kakashi's left eye.
The Mangekyou Sharingan is the same eye as that man's!
How is this possible...?
No, that man once said that if he also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, there would be three ninjas in this world with the Mangekyou Sharingan.
So, is Kakashi-sensei that third person?
"Trying to escape? How could you let my injured student get away so easily!" Almost at the same moment Sasuke lost his composure, Kakashi forced Naruto to turn his head rapidly.
The next instant, Kakashi flashed with lightning, leaving only a blur under Sasuke's double-tomoe perception, and appeared in front of Haku and Zabuza in the blink of an eye, almost teleporting.
"What?!"
"So fast!!"
Seeing Kakashi's cold glint in his eyes, Zabuza and Haku simultaneously gasped in shock, their hair standing on end, and instinctively averted their gazes from the Mangekyou Sharingan.
"Sorry, you are my prisoners!" Kakashi stared sharply at the two of them, enunciating each word clearly and forcefully.
He didn't know what was going on with Ishikawa yet, so he had to keep these two around just in case.
If they're lucky, they can use them to make a deal with Kirigakure, leaving their lives to fate. If they're unlucky, their deaths will coincide with Ishikawa's return.
As the story was drawing to a close, Ishikawa, who was heading to the Third Shinobi World War, quietly left Konoha under the cover of night.
[It's too inconvenient without White Zetsu's support. It seems necessary to find another White Zetsu and hide it here.] A few kilometers away from Konoha, Ishikawa sighed inwardly as he drove his Red Eyes.
However, for now, he still needs to go to the Land of Grass to make preparations in advance.
Before Rin Nohara and her group split up with Minato Namikaze, he tried to avoid getting too close.
The nickname "Yellow Flash" isn't just for show; it's best to avoid the limelight for now and minimize trouble.
Perfect timing! He also took advantage of his free time to check if Madara was actually there.
This is important, so important that it affects his entire plan.
The following day, the third battle against Konoha took place.
"A large number of Iwa ninja have appeared at the front line? It seems that Iwagakure has already secured the logistical supply line to the Land of Grass. This is troublesome. If left unchecked, Iwagakure will definitely reinforce its troops quickly and spread the war into the Land of Fire."
"Then things are urgent. We must destroy Iwagakure's supply lines and block the Iwagakure ninja at the front."
"Stop the Iwa ninja at the front line? But we don't have enough manpower."
"Sunagakure, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, those four damned nations actually..."
"Alright, let's not talk about those useless topics! I already have a team in mind for this mission."
"Who is it? Lord Hokage?"
"Minato's team, including him, has three Jonin, and the other Uchiha is an elite Chunin who has awakened the double tomoe. It's currently the strongest team, second only to the Legendary Sannin of Konoha..."
"A yellow flash? If that's them, it's definitely feasible!"
"Then it's decided, they'll be the ones!" In the conference room, with the three generations of adults making the final decision, the operational plan for destroying the Kannabi Bridge was quickly implemented.
Soon, Minato Namikaze, who was resting at home, was summoned by the Third Hokage and given a mission.
Another half hour later, at the Watergate team's assembly point.
"Sorry, sorry, something came up today!" 13-year-old Obito ran over and smiled apologetically at the three people who were already waiting.
"Helping an old lady cross the street again? Obito, you're still so popular with the elderly." 12-year-old Kakashi crossed his arms and pouted, already used to it.
He had a deep understanding of this when he was linked with Obito before.
Therefore, Kakashi's tone was not as harsh this time, after the relationship had eased; instead, it sounded like teasing and joking between friends.
"Hehehe, but you guessed wrong this time! Kakashi." Obito scratched his head and laughed smugly, then took out two scrolls under the strange gazes of the three.
"Although I'm quite annoyed that you two were promoted to Jonin so quickly, as your comrade, I still want to congratulate you. Rin, Kakashi, this is a gift I prepared for your promotion."
"A promotion gift??" Nohara Rin looked at the scroll in front of her with surprise, not expecting Obito to bring them a gift.
"Yes, Kakashi's are three Fire Release ninjutsu from our Uchiha clan, and Rin's are several Water Release ninjutsu copied from Kirigakure by our clan."
"Hehehe, this is a gift I carefully selected overnight! You don't need to thank me too much." He patted his chest casually, saying he didn't want it, but his eyes were full of expectation as he looked at the two of them.
They practically told him to praise him, to praise him...
"Thank you, Obito. I'll prepare a gift for you when you become a Jonin." Rin Nohara smiled as she accepted the scroll, making Obito nod in satisfaction and look at Kakashi.
"Idiot, I'm good at Lightning Release and Earth Release. But since it's a gift from you, I'll reluctantly accept it." Kakashi knew exactly what Obito meant, and took the scroll with a smug grin.
"What? Kakashi, you bastard..." Obito was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and immediately shouted angrily to snatch the scroll back.
But just as he was about to make a move, Minato Namikaze interrupted him. "Alright, we have an important mission to do now. This is Kakashi and Rin's first S-rank mission since they were promoted to Jonin."
"An S-rank mission!!" Obito exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this, and Kakashi beside him also looked astonished. Only Nohara Rin's eyes flashed with a hint of certainty, her expression serious.
"Yes, we'll explain the specifics of the mission once we reach the border." Minato Namikaze nodded, then took out two Flying Thunder God kunai.
"Kakashi, Rin, this is a gift from your teacher for your promotion. Congratulations on becoming Jonin and standing on your own..."
