The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

Obito Uchiha stood up and saw that they were Konoha ninjas, which calmed him down a bit.

Then he took a deep look at Nohara Rin's corpse on the ground.

"Lin!"

"wait for me."

"I will avenge you!"

Obito Uchiha left before the Konoha ninja arrived.

Originally, Obito Uchiha planned to return to Konoha and continue being a Konoha ninja.

Because of his appearance, Obito Uchiha was somewhat insecure. However, he believed that Kakashi and Rin Nohara would accept him. But now, all of that is gone.

Obito Uchiha could only return to that dark underground place first.

News of the Three-Tails incident spread rapidly back to both ninja villages.

Danzo immediately went to the Hokage Building.

"Hiruzen, I was right, wasn't I? Kirigakure is the biggest enemy we need to take seriously from now on."

"Fortunately, their plan failed."

"If it succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was also very solemn.

"Minato will be in charge of Iwagakure, and Orochimaru will handle Kirigakure."

Danzo nodded.

"Orochimaru is a good choice."

Currently, Konoha is facing a leadership transition issue.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is already very old.

My energy levels are much lower than before.

In this situation, it is necessary to select a successor Hokage.

There are currently three popular candidates.

Minato Namikaze, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya.

However, Jiraiya himself wasn't interested, so it was only Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru who were interested.

Orochimaru, despite being Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciple, was actually closer to Danzo.

After Danzo left, an Anbu ninja entered.

"How is Kakashi doing now?"

"Reporting to the Hokage, Kakashi seems to have suffered a great shock and is not in good condition."

"Then let him come back to the village first."

"Lord Hokage, Kakashi probably doesn't want to go back to the village right now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised an eyebrow.

"He wants to kill the Hidden Mist ninja to avenge Rin Nohara?"

"Yes."

"Then let him stay on the battlefield, but make some arrangements to keep him out of dangerous areas."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

The ANBU ninja left.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

"This is indeed a major blow to Kakashi."

"But who hasn't gone through this?"

"Back then, I was also looking in the mirror, and at Tobirama-sensei's sacrifice."

"This is a ninja."

"fine"

"We chose the route of being a guard ninja for the Daimyo of the Land of Fire for Asuma. Otherwise, Kirigakure might have captured Asuma instead of Nohara Rin."

"That way we can inflict greater damage on Konoha."

"How could Kirigakure do such a thing?"

"very good."

"If you want to fight, then fight."

"Do you think Konoha is afraid of a mere Kirigakure village like yours?"

When the news reached Kirigakure.

Some of the Hidden Mist ninja were excited when they heard the first part of the sentence, but when they heard that they had failed, they sighed and felt sorry for them.

However, many Hidden Mist ninja found it strange.

Such a plan seems rather crude.

It's like taking a chance.

Whether it would succeed or not was not considered at all.

An ANBU ninja entered the Mizukage's office to report to the Third Mizukage.

"Lord Mizukage, the plan to blow up Konoha has failed."

The Third Mizukage looked up, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"What bombing plan?"

The ANBU ninja was taken aback.

"Lord Mizukage, this is the plan you devised to seal the Three-Tails inside Konoha ninja Rin Nohara, and then send Rin to Konoha to create a Tailed Beast rampage."

When did I...

Suddenly, the words of the ANBU ninja seemed to have triggered a switch.

The Third Mizukage's eyes glazed over for a moment.

"It was indeed my plan. Did it fail?"

"Yes, Rin Nohara chose to sacrifice herself, deliberately crashing into Kakashi to end her own life. The Three-Tails disappeared along with Rin Nohara's death."

The death of a Jinchuriki will lead to the death of a Tailed Beast.

However, tailed beasts are chakra life forms and generally do not die permanently.

Instead, it will be revived after a period of time.

"I see."

The Nohara Rin incident significantly increased the hatred many Konoha ninjas felt towards Kirigakure.

Compared to before, the attack was more ferocious and seemed to be carried out without regard for cost.

Faced with Konoha's counterattack, the Hidden Mist ninja's front line had to retreat somewhat.

"Floor, liberate!"

Just as Hozuki Mangetsu had knocked a Konoha ninja away, he suddenly sensed an extremely dangerous aura and instinctively turned around to block Hiramekarei.

"Ding!"

Kakashi's short sword landed on the flounder.

The immense power repelled Hozuki Mangetsu.

But that's not all.

Kakashi's strength far surpasses that of Hozuki Mangetsu.

Both of them are geniuses.

However, Hozuki Mangetsu was several years younger than Kakashi.

And these are very crucial years.

"Pfft!"

Kakashi's other kunai grazed Hozuki Mangetsu's arm.

The clothes were immediately torn, and the skin underneath was exposed, with flesh and blood rolled up. Blood flowed incessantly.

"Kakashi Hatake!"

Hozuki Mangetsu's expression became very serious.

I've heard of Kakashi's name before, Hozuki Mangetsu.

A genius ninja from Konoha who had fought Kisame Hoshigaki several times, he was no match for Kisame, but his strength was far superior to Zabuza Momochi, who was also a top genius in Kirigakure.

Hozuki Mangetsu doesn't think his talent is worse, but his current strength is indeed inferior.

Kakashi showed no sign of pausing.

At that moment, the image of Rin Nohara's death kept replaying in Kakashi's mind.

Kakashi had only one thought about all the Hidden Mist Villages.

"kill!"

Kakashi's attacks were getting faster and faster.

Hozuki Mangetsu was at a complete disadvantage and could only retreat, retreat, and retreat.

But soon, there was no way out.

"Ding!"

Hozuki Mangetsu's flounder was knocked away.
