I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Obito, who was rapidly approaching, formed hand seals and spat a fireball at Mirai and Minato.

He wasn't lying; he had mastered the Fireball Jutsu quite well. A standard fireball was spat out of Obito's mouth, and its size was considered above average among genin.

"Idiot! What if your attack scares away the mission target!"

Kakashi cursed and quickly rushed out, hiding behind the fireball.

"No way, they are far stronger than us, how could they possibly escape!"

Obito spoke confidently, then shouted at Mirai, "Mirai-san! Don't be a coward! Come at me head-on!"

Lin reached into her ninja tool bag and began preparing traps and explosive tags.

As a medical ninja who is almost purely medical, she doesn't really have much combat ability.

However, she simultaneously used a transformation technique to transform herself into Kakashi's appearance, creating the illusion of the three of them being together, in conjunction with her clone technique.

"Okay, as you wish."

In the future, gripping the Bloodstained Blade tightly, he dodged the Great Fireball Technique and charged towards Obito at lightning speed, seemingly drawn to his hatred.

Her figure passed Kakashi, who was hiding behind the fireball, and appeared in front of Rin and Obito.

"Hmph, are the three of you planning to fight me head-on?"

Future hummed sweetly. She was just too cute. Even if she deliberately acted like a villain, the feeling she gave people didn't change much.

In short, it is very cute!

Chapter 217 Extremely Immersive

"Hmph! That's right!"

Obito stood with one hand on his hip and the other pointing towards the future.

"I'm going to beat you to a pulp today! Do you accept or not?!"

"If you can do it~"

Future tilted his head and charged towards Obito.

Rin quickly manipulated her clone to retreat, and Kakashi, whom she herself had transformed into, also retreated, leaving space for Obito and Mirai to fight one-on-one.

But how could Obito possibly fight one-on-one? He could only rely on the talent of the Uchiha clan to barely manage to evade future attacks.

I've already tried it before. Obito's abilities are limited. In a one-on-one fight against the future, he would be completely outmatched.

"What's wrong? You talk big, but you can't actually do it."

Mirai smiled as she drew her sword at Obito, having already been careful to restrain her attack and not going all out.

It was precisely because of her restraint that Obito had a glimmer of hope and was able to stall for time with the future.

"Heh...heh heh...at least I can hold you off..."

Obito barely managed to block the attack from the future, retreated several meters, and then responded with a bitter smile.

His legs trembled, and his hands shook. He was in a state of extreme tension, defending against and dodging future attacks, but he couldn't hold on for much longer.

"Oh?"

"You think you can hold me off?"

Mirai's mouth dropped open in surprise. She took a step forward, covering the large distance between herself and Obito, and immediately appeared in front of him.

"Do you know why the people of your Uchiha clan hate me and Chiaki?"

She was slightly taller than Obito, and looking down at him with pity, she pushed up her glasses.

"Why... why?"

Obito nervously swallowed. He had only heard a little about the feud between the Uchiha clan and Chiaki Mirai, and had not truly experienced it all.

"Because the Uchiha clan fears my power."

Mirai took off her glasses, her golden pupils staring intently into Obito's eyes. Waves of chakra surged forth, and Obito stared blankly at Mirai, feeling as if the flow of the entire world had slowed down.

Blood red appeared in the sky, and his world and vision were completely dominated by those golden eyes.

"Obito! Obito!"

Lin nervously called out Obito's name. She could only see Obito and Mirai exchange a glance before his body stiffened.

Lin had no way to deal with this change and could only grit her teeth and keep moving forward.

Her and Obito's mission was clear: to do everything possible to delay the future and give Kakashi a chance to take action against Minato.

But now Obito has suddenly fallen into a daze, which is probably due to a future genjutsu.

Given Obito's own abilities, it would probably take him some time to break free from the genjutsu all at once.

With such a short time, Lin has to fight for it.

"Illusion?"

Sakumo Hatake, who was watching from the sidelines, was surprised to see Mirai put her glasses back on and turn to deal with Rin and "Kakashi".

Chiaki touched her pink twin tails and nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems that he has already made some progress in managing his own chakra."

"I can now use a portion of the Blood Dragon Eye's power without breaking the seal."

"The Blood Dragon Eye can also use illusions?"

Sakumo Hatake did not have a thorough understanding of the Blood Pond Clan, nor did he know about the grudges between the Uchiha Clan and the Blood Pond Clan.

After all, he had no interest in investigating the matter. In the ninja world, there was only one member of the Blood Pond Clan, Mirai. Since the main Uchiha clan hadn't said anything, Sakumo Hatake had even less reason to consider it.

"Yes, the genjutsu abilities of the Blood Pond clan and the Uchiha clan are two extremes."

Chiaki nodded and casually explained to Hatake Sakumo, "The Uchiha clan's eye techniques are indeed superior to those of the Blood Pond clan. Their genjutsu can create their own world, entirely based on their imagination, and can be so realistic that it is impossible for others to tell the difference."

"But the illusions of the Blood Pool Clan are not so good. They can only use their own eye power to pull the target into a blood-colored world, and use their killing intent and blood energy to make the opponent fearful, so that they cannot escape from the illusion of the blood-colored world."

"The stronger the pupil technique, the stronger the illusion technique. This is something that both races have in common. It's just that the former is more concealed and the latter is more domineering."

"I see."

Hatake Sakumo nodded thoughtfully. "No wonder these two clans are fighting. Their eye techniques have overlapped, and they also disagree on the origin of illusion techniques."

"Yes."

Chiaki shrugged. "I'll take good care of Obito in the world of illusion in the future. As for Rin, I won't say anything. If she can help Obito successfully escape from the world of illusion, then her test this time will actually be a success."

"Wait, didn't you say this was a task? How did it turn into an assessment again?"

Sakumo Hatake looked at Chiaki with surprise, and Chiaki smiled and said, "For Kakashi, this is a mission; for Obito and Rin, this is a test."

"Of course, this mission is doomed to failure, I can tell you that very clearly."

"As for why, you should know it yourself."

She stared directly at Sakumo Hatake, who was wearing a tengu mask, and Sakumo Hatake fell silent, neither confirming nor denying anything.

He gradually realized that Chiaki was imitating his own mission failure, trying to show him something.

It's unclear what will happen next, what Kakashi and the other two will do, and whether the final outcome will be the same as what they experienced.

Sakumo Hatake felt as if he were watching a highly immersive movie, with Kakashi as the protagonist, who was also his younger self.

From a third-person perspective, he could clearly see everything happening on the field, and he could also see Kakashi, who was almost exactly the same as he had imagined.

Kakashi's judgment was correct given that his teammates were too weak.

Have your teammates hold off the guards while you go and complete the mission.

The plan was for his teammates to be able to fight off the enemy's guard ninjas while keeping themselves alive, and for him to be able to turn around and rescue them after capturing the mission objective.

But what will happen next?

Sakumo Hatake took a deep breath.

Based on his experience, the next step would be an inside job betraying information, and his teammates would suddenly face mortal danger just as he was about to complete his mission.

Faced with a choice between two options, should one prioritize the mission or temporarily abandon it for the sake of their comrades' lives?

Chapter 218 Kakashi's Battle

The camera pans back slightly, focusing on Kakashi.

"good chance……"

Kakashi hid behind the Fireball Jutsu. He glanced behind him and saw Rin perfectly coordinate, using the Shadow Clone Jutsu and Transformation Jutsu to simulate the scene where he was still there.

When all three members of the team are together, the target's vigilance will be greatly reduced.

After all, his own bodyguard ninja had already taken on three people by himself, so the mission target was safe.

Hula

The fireball shot towards Minato, who didn't use any special techniques but simply rolled to the side to dodge it.

The fireball slammed into the ground, leaving a small crater where Minato had been standing. Minato then dove to a nearby tree, slightly concealing his position.

However, the bell hanging on his waist gave him away. The clear sound of the bell clearly told Kakashi Minato's location, and Kakashi was delighted as he observed Minato's movements.

As expected, based on the strength Minato displayed, Kakashi felt he had a chance of obtaining the bell.

He didn't use any other dodging techniques; he relied entirely on his physical abilities.

If you can keep up with the movement speed, you can definitely keep up in combat as well.

As long as Minato doesn't cheat, he will be able to complete the mission.

Swoosh

Kakashi's figure darted up to Minato's head as the Fireball exploded.

He stood upside down on the tree branch, looking down to observe the movement of the water gate.

Minato peeked out from behind the tree, watching Mirai wield her sword while Obito was being held down, his attention completely elsewhere.

"very good."
