within the Land of Fire.
Swish!
Several figures were moving quickly through the dense forest. Two of them were constantly sticking detonating tags with thin threads on the inside of the trees they passed by.
These people were all dressed as Kirigakure ninjas, and their whereabouts were discovered by the ninjas sent by Fugaku half a day ago.
Behind them, a Konoha team whose strength was no weaker than theirs was chasing them.
"Bang bang!"
At this moment, a violent explosion occurred in the dense forest behind them.
They turned their eyes slightly, with a slightly gloomy smile on their faces.
This time, they finally got rid of the Konoha ninjas' persuit
in the explosion. Even if the ninjas chasing them were not all killed, they would definitely not catch up with them.
Just when several Kirigakure ninja thought they could rest easy, the leaves in the deep forest in front of them were slightly affected and began to sway and make slight noises.
The Kirigakure ninja didn't care. They didn't notice that there was no wind blowing under the swaying of the trees.
Swish!
A yellow light flashed past without anyone noticing.
"Puff!"
Suddenly, the throats of two of them were cut and blood spurted out.
The expressions in the two people's eyes were the same as before, there was no time for any change and they were frozen forever.
Soon after, the remaining few Kirigakure members were not in much better condition either, as they were stabbed in the vitals and died.
When the last person fell, in the last moment before he lost consciousness, a figure seemed to appear in front of his eyes.
Minato looked indifferently at the several Kirigakure who had been killed by him, and suddenly disappeared from the spot.
After a long time, several Konoha ninjas arrived here.
Looking at the dead Kirigakure in front of them, their eyes were still filled with anger.
However, they still started dealing with the bodies.
In the Konoha camp, Minato appeared.
"Has everything been resolved?"
Fugaku sensed something and turned his eyes to the side, and the latter nodded.
"What's Kirigakure's reaction?"
Minato asked anxiously, the news of the Third Raikage's death had spread throughout the ninja world in the past few days. At this time, he naturally had to negotiate with the Kirigakure and ask them to release Kakashi and Rin.
"No response yet."
Fugaku frowned and said that Kirigakure's response to him was like a stone falling into the ocean, and there was no response to their request at all.
"Damn it!"
Minato's expression changed slightly, but he couldn't withdraw immediately at this moment.
"But I just sent out another group of ninjas to search for the remaining traces of Kirigakure."
the Kirigakure ninjas who invaded the Land of Fire have been dealt with by Minato and others.
But after all, they were short of manpower before, and the Kirigakure ninjas acted in small teams, making the search extremely difficult.
"Um."
Minato nodded, but his expression became a little serious at this time.
Because he didn't understand why under such circumstances, Kirigakure would allow some ninjas to infiltrate the territory of the Land of Fire, but did not move towards Konoha.
These people are scattered throughout the Fire Nation and attacking civilian.
This is too weird.
Their intention was not to harass Konoha, but rather seemed to be stalling for time.
Kakashi and Rin, who escaped from the Land of Water, did not head directly towards the coastline of the Land of Fire. Instead, they circled on the sea for a distance and entered the Land of Hot Spring first.
Because the two knew too little about the current war situation and chose to take a detour, which would interfere with the Mist Ninja's pursuit.
After all, there is no definite route on such a vast ocean.
The country of soup.
"We'll reach the border of the Land of Hot Springs in a short distance."
Kakashi took out a map from his arms, confirmed his and Rin's current location, and glanced at the tired-looking girl beside him.
"If it doesn't work, just rest here for a while."
After several days of fleeing, even though they were ninjas and could replenish their chakra and physical strength with military ration pills, their energy was already reaching its limit.
Rin shook her head and said, "No, we are not completely out of danger yet."
Although she is a girl, Rin is by no means squeamish. She is well aware of her current situation with Kakashi.
During the days of escape, they were almost discovered by the Kirigakure pursuers several times.
The two people who were in a rather weak state looked at each other and then continued to move forward.
However, they had no way of knowing at this time that there was a pair of eyes watching them in an unknown place that they could not detect.
"Hoohoo."
There was a constant sound of panting coming from the underground cave.
Obito was carrying out his own rehabilitation training, and just as White Zetsu said, over the past few days, his originally weak body was gradually recovering.
In his current condition, although he has not fully recovered, he has regained his mobility.
"Swish!"
He suddenly jumped up from the ground, his eyeballs swelled, and the black pupils suddenly turned scarlet, with two black magatama slowly rotating in them.
He lowered his eyes, and his Sharingan was able to see the flow of chakra in his body.
Obito could clearly observe the changes in his body compared to before.
Even he was not sure whether he could still be considered a human being.
At this moment, green plants emerged from the ground in front of Obito, and then the appearance of White Zetsu appeared.
Obito immediately looked over there, and before he could say anything, White Zetsu's anxious voice came over.
"I just seemed to have seen Kakashi and Rin, whom you often mentioned. But they are now surrounded by Kirigakure ninjas!"
When Obito heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank, and then he leaped forward suddenly, and his whole body slammed heavily into the wall in front of him.
"boom!"
The wall broke a little, but one of Obito's arms was also deformed by the recoil.
"With your current body, you can't break this wall!" said the White Zetsu with a Swirl face behind Obito.
Obito looked determined and said, "I must go. This time, I won't let her get hurt again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the body of the Swirl face White Zetsu behind him gradually began to disintegrate, and like branches, it wrapped around Obito's thin body.
"Use my body."
The voice of Swirl face White Zetsu came, and Obito was stunned and said, "Aren't you Madara's subordinate?"
"Don't you want to save those two people?"
At this time, Obito's body had been completely covered by the body of Swirl face White Zetsu.
The only thing revealed was Obito's double magatama Sharingan.
After a brief silence, Obito raised his eyelids and said.
"Thank you very much!"
[AN:After this Chapter is published, many readers may think that I am copying the plot of the original work, but what I want to say is that I wrote about the rebirth of Minato. There are some thing Minato don't know, this is just to show how strong is the manipulation of Madara and Zetsu have in the ninja world.]
