MM Racing Chapter 278 Ishikawa ran right into Lin's line of fire.
Chapter 278 Ishikawa ran right into Lin's line of fire.
"Guy, Genma, Ebisu, I never expected you to be in such a sorry state..." Obito grinned as he looked at his three companions, who were panting heavily after surviving the ordeal, and casually flicked off non-existent dust from his Jonin armor.
Instantly, this action made the corners of Genma and the other two's mouths twitch...
I know you, Obito Uchiha, are a Special Jonin now, but don't be so cocky. Look at Kakashi and Rin, they're both full Jonin and they're not as arrogant as you.
"Kai, you three should leave now. It's too dangerous for you to stay here during the upcoming battle, and we might not be able to take care of you then," Rin said with a sweet smile, glancing at Obito from the side. This made Genma and the other two gasp and look at each other with complicated expressions.
I know Lin meant well, but is it really okay to say this? Why do I suddenly feel like I'm a loser, a complete failure...?
"Kakashi, their target is your team." Suddenly, Might Guy remembered something and spoke anxiously. "We're not leaving. Although we're not as strong as you, the three of us working together can at least hold off one enemy."
“Yes, we will fight alongside you.” Genma followed up, his fear replaced by fervor.
Young people have their own wild side. Asking their peers to protect them while they escape? Just thinking about it is embarrassing, and they absolutely refuse!
"Even if we're just genin, we have to prove our existence," Ebisu said through gritted teeth. He was not afraid of death in the face of this situation.
Seeing the resolute expressions on Genma and the other two's faces, Kakashi took a deep breath, neither refusing nor agreeing. Instead, he turned his head sharply and asked, "Kirigakure, do you intend to continue the mission or retreat voluntarily?"
Even though I know the other side is unlikely to retreat, I'd rather avoid a fight if I can avoid having three burdens with me.
After all, those were the infamous Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. With Guy and his crew's strength, they'd probably be killed in a single exchange!
"Retreat? You think you can make us retreat without a fight just because you injured my comrade? It's not that simple. Besides, killing you was the highest order given to us by the Mizukage." Suigetsu Fuguki sneered in refusal, while giving the others a look.
In the next instant, except for the heavily injured Kushimaru Kurihara, the other six swordsmen of the Hidden Mist simultaneously formed hand seals rapidly.
"Combined Ninja Art: Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique..."
Almost in the blink of an eye, the six of them simultaneously activated their spells and shouted in low voices.
In an instant, an extremely dense white mist of chakra rose up, and with the help of the humid environment of the coast, it turned the surrounding area of one kilometer into a white world where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
"This is troublesome. Even my Wind Release can't disperse this thick fog much. Everyone, be careful of the Hidden Mist's assassination techniques, they're coming!" Kakashi frowned, his body crackling with lightning as he listened intently, ready to strike.
"Damn it, even with the combined efforts of six people, my Fire Release can't evaporate this thick fog in this damp environment. Rin, lean on me, my Sharingan can still see a little." Obito immediately declared, his eyes bloodshot, fearing that Rin might be accidentally attacked.
In contrast to their cautiousness, Nohara Rin smiled confidently, her right eye instantly turning bloodshot...
In an instant, with her red eyes' 270° perspective, she could clearly see the positions of the six Mist Ninja.
And that's not all!
"That is... " Nohara Rin glanced at the two white Zetsu a hundred meters away, her pretty face turned cold, and she instantly realized what was going on.
No wonder they said killing them was the Mizukage's supreme order. She initially thought it was because the three of them had caused losses to Kirigakure by completing several A-rank missions in recent days, but it turns out it was all because of that person:
Uchiha Madara!!
"Obito, Kakashi, there's no time to explain anything. Please believe me. Now, prepare your strongest attack ninjutsu..." Soon, Nohara Rin withdrew her gaze and looked at the six Hidden Mist Village members rushing towards her, giving instructions in a low voice.
Obito and Kakashi were taken aback upon hearing this, but out of absolute trust, neither asked any further questions and nodded solemnly.
Without hesitation, Kakashi, his body crackling with electricity, formed hand seals once more and unleashed Chidori, a deafening roar of lightning...
Meanwhile, Obito took a deep breath and slowly formed hand seals to use the Fire Release technique that Rin had taught him.
The next second, "a cough..."
"Kakashi at seven o'clock, Obito at three o'clock!" Nohara Rin shouted, and Kakashi charged forward without hesitation, wielding Chidori.
At the same time, Obito opened his mouth and unleashed a burst of Fire Release: "Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique..."
"What?!" Jinpachi Munashi, who was brandishing his explosive sword to launch an attack, was completely dumbfounded. He hurriedly dodged as Chidori appeared close by.
He was fast, but Kakashi, wielding his Lightning Release armor, was even faster. Almost the instant he dodged, Kakashi's Chidori slashed fiercely across his arm!
Without hesitation, Jinpachi unleashed his explosive sword, using offense as defense. At close range, Kakashi sensed the danger and immediately retreated.
The next instant, with a deafening explosion, only a severed arm remained at the scene. Kakashi had once again severely injured one of his ninja swords.
Meanwhile, on Obito's side, Hozuki Senjin was also filled with disbelief as he sensed the fire dragons from all sides.
If it weren't for the Hozuki clan's keen intuition about water vapor, he probably wouldn't have noticed the fire jutsu from all four sides!
"Water Transformation Technique..." At the critical moment, Hozuki Senjin transformed into a fluid, grabbed his twin swords Hiramekarei, and, braving the fire dragon, crashed through it and fled in panic.
At the same time, "BOOM!!"
Suigetsu Hobuki only saw a blur before Nohara Rin precisely dodged her Samehada sword and punched him hard in the abdomen.
"H-How is this possible?!" Feeling the pain of his internal organs and ribs shattering one after another, Suigetsu Hozuki coughed up a mouthful of blood and almost died!
How could this be? Even with special training and expertise in sound localization, they could only roughly pinpoint the location of a target in this level of fog. How could the other party have located him so precisely?
Could it be the Hyuga Byakugan? Impossible!!
[Tsk tsk tsk, no matter how hard you try, you'll never know about the Red Eyes. Blame your bad luck; if you hadn't used the Hidden Mist Technique, you might have actually managed to kill Rin or Kakashi.] Looking at the heavily injured Suigetsu Hozuki, Ishikawa's left eye flashed with a crimson light.
Then his gaze shifted, and his red-eyed X-ray vision looked at the two White Zetsu hidden in the shadows.
Unexpectedly, this trip here has run into Madara causing trouble and triggering a butterfly effect.
If he hadn't transplanted the red eye into Rin beforehand and helped Kakashi and Obito strengthen their abilities in advance, they might have really been doomed this time!
Now, even if he hadn't appeared, Lin wouldn't have been in any danger.
“However, there’s no way you can guard against thieves for a thousand days if you’re a thief for a thousand days.” Suddenly, Ishikawa’s gaze sharpened as he thought of something.
Given Obito's value, Madara would definitely not give up easily; on the contrary, he would intensify his efforts!
So, for Rin's safety, shouldn't we take this opportunity to give Madara a huge surprise and leave him completely bewildered?!
Sorry, Obito...
With a determined glint in his eyes, Ishikawa formed hand seals and activated the Spirit Transformation Technique.
