Chapter 743 Catalyst
Barrier Section.
Karin is connected to a machine, whose screen lights up, displaying an interface that resembles a radar.
The interface is simple and clearly displays a basic map.
Kakashi and Rin's location was accurately marked at the seventeenth passage.
When she uses Kagura's Mind's Eye, a corresponding chakra reaction will appear on it.
Originally, this area was unusually calm, with only their chakra reactions present.
However, a sudden appearance of a chakra dot shattered the tranquility.
This chakra point is steadily approaching Kakashi and Rin.
Meanwhile, Minato was intently sensing the area.
He sensed something amiss—in just this one spot, a fleeting Flying Thunder God mark flashed by.
Minato instantly made a judgment: the person who quietly approached from underground and had the Flying Thunder God mark on his body was Obito!
"Push Kakashi aside immediately and run! Obito is here!"
As a well-trained ninja, Rin didn't hesitate at all upon receiving the order and immediately took action, using all her strength to push Kakashi aside.
Kakashi was in the middle of preparing his emotions and was completely unprepared for this sudden turn of events, so he was pushed to the ground by Rin without any warning.
After pushing Kakashi away, Rin turned around and ran forward without hesitation.
Kakashi was momentarily dazed after falling to the ground, his mind going blank.
But just a second later, he stared in astonishment as a figure appeared before him that he knew all too well.
Obito!
Obito suddenly sprang out from underground like a ghost, gripping a jet-black stick tightly in his hand, and with lightning speed, stabbed Rin in the back.
"Lin!"
With a roar, Kakashi's eyes widened to their limit, his pupils seemingly about to burst, filled with bloodshot veins, like an enraged beast.
At the same time, the chakra within his body surged wildly like a raging sea, and his whole body exuded a chilling aura.
His figure flashed like lightning across the night sky, hurtling forward at an unimaginable speed.
Wherever he went, everything around him seemed to slow down, and even the air itself seemed to crack open from his impact.
Kakashi gripped his long sword tightly, channeling all his energy and spirit into the blade, and with unstoppable momentum, slashed fiercely at Obito's black rod.
Closer! Closer! Even closer!
We can make it!
In the blink of an eye, Kakashi had arrived in front of Obito.
Just when he thought his sure-kill strike was about to succeed, an unexpected event occurred.
—Kakashi's sword swung and missed completely!
Moreover, due to inertia, he passed directly through Obito's body as if he were passing through a phantom.
Obito stood quietly in place, his eyes coldly fixed on the slightly disheveled Kakashi, a hint of caution in his expression.
Kakashi's slash was indeed surprisingly fast just now, but fortunately, he was prepared.
Thinking of this, Obito's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.
Immediately afterwards, he turned around abruptly and without hesitation stabbed the black stick in his hand into Lin, who was not far away.
However, at this critical moment, a figure suddenly flashed behind Obito.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Minato Namikaze had arrived at the scene just in time using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
At this moment, Minato held a Flying Thunder God kunai tightly in his hand, and his figure moved like a ghost as he quickly approached Obito from behind. Then, without any mercy, he slashed at Obito's neck.
In that instant, time seemed to freeze. An atmosphere of extreme tension permeated the entire space; life and death hung in the balance!
For Obito, if he insists on killing Rin, then what awaits him will be Minato's fatal blow;
But if he were to give up now, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
This time, it was clearly a carefully planned killing formation by Konoha, with Obito as the target.
At this moment, Obito's gaze was like two sharp lightning bolts, fixed firmly on Rin Nohara.
His deep, abyss-like eyes seemed to transform into an endless vortex of darkness, sending chills down one's spine.
Deep within Obito's mind, two distinct voices were hysterically roaring.
One of the voices was filled with resentment and murderous intent:
"Die, Rin!!" This voice, like the whisper of a demon, relentlessly assaulted Obito's mental defenses;
Another voice, filled with deep affection and resolve, said: "Lin! I will never let you die."
Two extreme emotions clashed and intertwined fiercely within Obito's heart, causing him immense pain.
Despite Obito's hands trembling wildly from extreme tension and inner conflict, he ultimately thrust straight at Rin with an unimaginable strength!
There was a muffled "thud," followed by a "splatter" sound—the terrifying sound of a sharp blade piercing deep into flesh.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, like a tragic blood flower blooming in the air.
At the same time, Minato Namikaze's thunderous strike landed on Obito's neck.
Minato's attack speed was as fast as lightning, and his strength was astonishing.
A flash of cold light appeared, and Obito's neck was instantly severed. Even his incredibly strong neck bones were not spared, completely shattering under Minato's terrifying attack.
If it weren't for the limitation on the length of the Flying Thunder God kunai, Obito's entire head would probably have been launched out like a cannonball.
Even so, at this moment, only a thin layer of skin and flesh connected Obito's body and neck.
His neck and head formed a shocking 90-degree angle, but no blood splattered out, only a small amount of white fluid.
Obito's mouth opened and closed slightly, as if he wanted to say something to Rin, but he could no longer make a sound.
Of course, in making this choice, he also mercilessly plunged the black rod in his hand into Lin's heart...
However, fate seemed to play a cruel joke on Obito.
Despite his best efforts to maintain his course of action, another personality deep within him influenced him and interfered with his movements.
The black rod in Obito's hand was supposed to be precisely inserted into Rin's heart, but it deviated slightly from its target.
It was this negligible deviation that caused the attack, which should have been fatal, to land on Lin's chest.
