I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Adding to what Chiaki had said before, Kakashi felt that as long as he demonstrated the corresponding ability, he should be able to obtain the bell on Minato's waist.

In other words, it's very possible that Minato won't even take any action, but will simply try to avoid his own theft.

In other words, after diverting the future, the probability of him winning a one-on-one fight against Minato is as high as 50%!

Kakashi's eyes darted around, and he said to Obito and Rin, "Now that you're here, why don't you do something useful?"

"I'm giving you a task: distract Future as far away as possible and slow her down as much as you can. I'm going to snatch the bell from Minato-sensei."

"Hey, hey, this won't do. How can you fight Minato-sensei all by yourself?"

Obito was clearly unhappy with this arrangement. "It's fine for Rin and me to distract the future, but can you manage alone?"

"Laughable, you think you have the right to question me?"

Kakashi chuckled and touched his headband. "I'm a Chunin. What are you?"

Obito touched his goggles and said proudly, "I'm a student! What! You look down on me?"

"Well, so this guy who's not even a ninja, you'd better listen to me."

Kakashi looked at Obito with pity, and Rin tugged at Obito's sleeve. "Let's proceed according to Kakashi's plan for now. Lord Chiaki didn't set a time limit, so if we fail, we can try again."

"That's fine too, let's just give it a try."

Obito always agreed with Rin's opinions, nodding and smiling.

He was just testing Kakashi's idea; he didn't lose anything.

Anyway, if Kakashi turns out to be no good in the end, then he'll have a legitimate reason to laugh at Kakashi.

Obito was pessimistic about whether Kakashi could snatch the bell from Minato.

The idea of ​​gaining the goddess's approval while simultaneously mocking one's rival is simply perfect!

"No."

However, Kakashi frowned. "Although the witch didn't set a time, she kept mentioning one word. I don't know if you guys noticed it."

"What word?"

Obito scratched his head. "No, I didn't listen to what the witch said."

“I remember… Lord Chiaki emphasized that this is a… ‘mission’…?”

Lin truly lives up to her reputation as a member of Qianqiu's fan club; she remembers every word and action of Qianqiu perfectly.

"That's right, it's a mission."

Kakashi nodded and said seriously, "There is no second chance for a mission. If a mission fails, it is a failure."

"...Are ninjas who fail to complete their missions considered useless?"

Obito opened his mouth, and his expression turned serious.

Lin suddenly realized what Qianqiu was thinking and stared blankly at Qianqiu in the distance.

Chiaki casually played with her twin tails, seemingly not paying any attention to them at all.

Lin couldn't help but doubt her own judgment again.

"Then let's make another plan."

Chapter 216 In short, she's incredibly cute!

"Since it's a mission, let's make a proper plan."

Obito spoke steadily, and regardless of his strength, he was at least serious about his attitude towards the mission.

What kind of plan do you want?

"Didn't I give you a plan?"

Kakashi was confused and puzzled. "You guys take away the future, and I'll take on Minato-sensei by myself."

"???"

"No, where do you get your confidence?"

Obito left Kakashi speechless. Wasn't this guy far too confident?

A one-on-one challenge against the Water Gate?

Even Qianqiu wouldn't dare say that.

"What? Do you have a better way?"

Kakashi and Obito clashed, "In the future, one person can overwhelm you. Rin is a medical ninja, so she's a little lacking in combat power, but if the two of you work together, you can lure her away and provide me with the best attack environment. What's wrong with that?"

"There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that you went up against Minato-sensei by yourself."

Obito shook his head, rubbing his hair in frustration. "Can't you offer some constructive advice? You actually dared to suggest a one-on-one fight with Minato-sensei?"

"How about this, let's figure out a way to deal with Miss Future together, wouldn't that be better?"

Lin chimed in from the side, "If we can just make Miss Future unable to resist, then the three of us can take on Teacher Minato together, right?"

"Yes!"

Obito clapped his hands, "She's only Chunin level in the future. The three of us together can definitely defeat her..."

"Then, due to the battle with the future, the mission objective escapes, and the mission fails?"

Kakashi interrupted Obito with a sarcastic remark, "Don't be silly. This is a mission. Minato-sensei is the target. He's not a stupid target who would stand still and not run away after his guards are killed."

"Ah this..."

Obito and Rin were both stunned. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

If this were an assessment, their approach would be sound; however, this is not simply an assessment.

Qianqiu indicated that this was a mission, and since it was a mission, it should be carried out according to the mission's objectives.

The guard ninjas were defeated, but the mission objective didn't run away and just stood there?

He is not a fool!

If we follow this line of thought, the answer becomes quite obvious.

Why is Minato the one who guards the bell, while Mirai is the protector?

Because of Minato's high agility and evasion, he was able to directly avoid Kakashi's sneak attacks.

At the same time, if he is distracted or even defeated in the future, he can escape immediately, causing the mission to fail.

"so what should I do now?"

Obito scratched his head in frustration, while Rin also racked her brains. She realized that no matter what method she used to think, the three of them could not possibly complete the bell-grabbing competition.

Unconsciously, she began to ponder her somewhat strange guess from before.

Could it be...

Qianqiu probably never intended for the three of them to complete the assessment in the first place, right?

"There's no other way, so just do it my way of thinking."

Kakashi stroked his little katana. "There's only one path we can take. It's both a mission and an assessment, so there must be a path we can take."

"If you guys aren't going, I'll go first!"

He glanced at Obito and Rin, then rushed towards Minato and Mirai.

"Hey! Kakashi! You bastard!"

Obito gritted his teeth, extremely displeased with Kakashi's abandonment of his comrades, but what could he do?

Now the only thing to do is follow Kakashi's lead and try to go along with his train of thought.

There's no turning back once the arrow is released. Kakashi and he were a team, and without Kakashi's assistance, the two of them alone would have absolutely no chance of completing the mission.

"Lin! Let's go stall the future!"

Obito gritted his teeth and followed, while Rin nodded forcefully, suppressing her confusion.

Is there really a way to pass this assessment?

……

"coming."

Minato, who was chatting with Mirai, heard the noise behind him and spoke to Mirai without turning around.

"Three people, four figures, one of whom is a clone..."

"Oh, now there are five figures, plus one more clone."

Minato's ears twitched slightly, and without even turning around, he determined the location of the people who had suddenly attacked from behind.

"Behind us, there are two at seven, one at six, and two at five."

"I won't do it, it's up to you."

Future smiled slightly, "Then I'll just go along with their plan and be lured away by Obito and Rin?"

"It's alright, just go ahead and do it."

Minato nodded and smiled, "I'll take care of Kakashi."

"That's good. Oh, and don't forget what Qianqiu told you."

Mirai drew her blood-stained sword and gave Minato another warning.

"I understand."

Minato touched his bell, which rang clearly. Upon hearing the bell, the figures behind them quickened their pace.

"If Kakashi doesn't care about his teammates at all, then I'll teach him a lesson."

“Teamwork is very important, but of course, Chiaki seems to have other ideas.”

In the future, she pushed up her large red-framed glasses and squinted her eyes happily.

"Of course, because she is Chiaki!"

"Take this! Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
