Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 186 The Battle of Kannabi Bridge (Speed ​​Version)

Under the powerful suppression of the Five Elements Seal, the special energy circuit within Hyde's body was completely severed.

His mutated body began to shrink rapidly, his grayish-white skin faded quickly, his bulging muscles withered, and he eventually returned to his original human form.

Then, Hyde's eyes rolled back, and he completely lost consciousness.

Aoba clapped his hands in satisfaction, then turned to Yekura and Ryoichi with a smile and said, "Let's go, you two, it's time to collect our assets."

With Hyde's big problem dealt with, the rest became much simpler.

A group of steel guards remained on the giant steel ship that was docked outside the canyon.

Aoba knew those steel-clad guards very well.

This is a biological weapon created by Hyde through brainwashing and controlling some special children, and then using ancient technology to transfer the children's souls and attach them to organisms similar to "earth spirit dumplings".

In other words, beneath those cold armors lies the soul of a human being.

In that sense, it's somewhat similar to White Zetsu, a mini version.

Although Aoba didn't consider himself a pushover, these kids had been in contact with the Grell Stone for so long and had experienced soul transfer, so they already had the foundation to become ninjas.

Hyde can wash, and so can he; we can't just waste it.

Aoba walked over to Hyde, squatted down, and placed his hand on Hyde's head without any hesitation.

"The art of mind reading!"

The chakra violently invaded Hyde's brain, and even though Hyde was unconscious, his body twitched unconsciously.

In this world, keeping a secret is incredibly difficult, especially when facing a ninja who possesses mental techniques.

Aoba felt that mind-reading technology and the chip were a perfect combination.

With a chip acting as a firewall to block mental pollution, Aoba can read memories without fear of backlash.

A flood of information rushed into Aoba's mind.

Hyde's memories flashed rapidly before Aoba's eyes like a revolving lantern.

Soon, Aoba found a way to control these steel guards, a way to operate the ships, and a way to develop cyborg technology.

In just a few minutes, all the secrets in Hyde's mind were exposed to Aoba.

Aoba's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on her lips grew wider.

Hyde is such a good man, no wonder he's his half-brother.

Hyde's base was indeed in the open sea, a secret base on a secluded island, where he kept the wealth he had collected over the years and various resources for his intention to rule the world.

That's right, this is yet another idiot who doesn't know his own limitations and is preparing to conquer the world.

Aoba was speechless.

If such advanced technology truly existed, how did this ancient civilization disappear into the annals of history?

Don't you use your brains?

Aoba then had Ryoichi transform into Hyde's appearance and shut down the system controlling these steel guards.

After taking control of the ship, Aoba successfully obtained the Book of Grell. He told Yekura and Ryoichi how to operate the ship and sent them to the outer sea, to Hyde's secret base, to bring back all the supplies that could be moved from the base.

When Aoba stuffed more than a dozen large sealing scrolls into her hands, Yekura was speechless.

Are they going to scrape off several layers of soil?

As for the children, Aoba took them back to the Azure Swamp, where he personally bathed—well, personally raised them.

Time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, it was Konoha year 49.

The Third Shinobi World War has finally entered its most brutal and insane final stage.

The battle between Konoha and Iwagakure within the Land of Grass has entered a fierce tug-of-war.

Faced with the dual pressures of resource depletion and troop shortages resulting from fighting on multiple fronts, the Konoha leadership had no choice but to adopt extremely bold tactics to turn the tide of the war.

On one hand, Mimura Yoru led a large force to confront the main force of Iwagakure. The goal was not to win, but simply to hold off the Iwagakure forces.

On the other hand, it was to have Minato lead his squad deep behind enemy lines to carry out deadly reconnaissance and sabotage.

The target is Kannabi Bridge, the lifeline of Iwagakure's logistics!

The plan was pretty good, and no one thought Minato's team would fail, after all, Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique allowed him to move quickly across the battlefield.

But plans can never keep up with changes!

Iwagakure somehow got information (Madara: This is hard to guess) that Konoha's target was the Kannabi Bridge, which was a crucial hub for Iwagakure's logistical support.

After learning that the person responsible for the sabotage was Minato Namikaze, Onoki knew he probably couldn't stop him, so he went all in.

All troops at the front line are being committed!

This battle became the turning point of the Third Shinobi World War and the stage where Minato Namikaze achieved ultimate legendary status.

Konoha had no idea that Iwagakure had committed all its forces.

The troops led by Mimura Yomaki were routed as soon as they clashed.

Their speed was so fast that even Konoha behind them was caught off guard.

Without any interception, the Iwagakure troops poured into the Land of Fire.

Just when it seemed that the tragedy of the Sand Village invading the Land of Fire was about to be repeated.

The Third Hokage used special communication channels to bring Minato back, trying to hold off the Iwagakure forces as much as possible. He then quickly notified Jiraiya to rush to their aid, and subsequently transferred a large number of personnel from various defense lines to the Grassland defense line for support.

Minato was originally leading Kakashi, Obito, and Rin on a secret infiltration mission.

Upon receiving the urgent notification from the third generation, I realized the seriousness of the situation.

Minato then divided the team into two groups. One group consisted of himself, who went to the front lines to draw attention and support his comrades. The other group consisted of Kakashi and two others. Kakashi was appointed as the captain, and he led Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara to infiltrate behind enemy lines to carry out the mission of blowing up the bridge.

As for why Minato made this decision, it was because Kakashi had already been promoted to Jonin at this time!

That's right, he was recently promoted and he's not a special Jonin, he's a Jonin!

A 12-year-old Jonin.

Actually, I'm almost 13, but my birthday is still a while away.

However, this also successfully broke Yamashiro Aoba's record of becoming a Jonin!

This also became Kakashi's first S-rank mission after becoming a Jonin.

Kakashi solemnly took over command of the team, expressing his determination to do his utmost to complete the mission.

What happened next was exactly the same as what happened in the original timeline.

Even with Aoba's warning, Nohara Rin was still kidnapped by Oishi using [Camouflage].

Seeing that Rin had been kidnapped, Obito was extremely anxious and said he would go to rescue her.

But Kakashi coldly declared that the mission came first, which earned him a punch to the face from Obito. Obito then declared, "In the ninja world, those who don't follow the rules are trash, but those who don't cherish their comrades are even worse than trash!"

A single verbal remark sent a jolt through Kakashi's spirit.

Before Kakashi could react, Obito went to rescue Rin on his own.

Daishi handed Lin over to Huoguang for interrogation.

As members of Minato's team, Iwagakure must have detailed intelligence. Seeing that Minato Namikaze was not there, they had to quickly ascertain his information.

Just as Huoguang was using illusion magic to interrogate Lin for information, the two brats unexpectedly caught up with them so quickly.

Daishi kept the fire burning while he went out to deal with the two men.

Just as Obito discovered Rin's whereabouts and was about to go down to rescue her, Kakashi suddenly appeared and injured Oishi, who was about to launch a sneak attack.

Oishi, relying on the invisibility of the [Ninja Art: Camouflage Concealment], intended to use the same trick to take down Obito first, but unexpectedly Kakashi noticed Oishi's movements and saved Obito.

However, Kakashi's left eye was also scratched by the boulder.

Seeing his friend injured, Obito angrily activated his two-tomoe Sharingan and stabbed Oishi to death with a kunai.

Uh, that's right~

A Jonin from Iwagakure was killed by a single kunai.

Obito saw the two tomoe in his eyes through the reflection of the kunai.

He immediately thought of the "opportunity" that Aoba had mentioned to him.

"So this was the [opportunity] ————"

Obito muttered to himself, his admiration for Aoba growing ever stronger.

It's worth noting that when Uchiha awakened his Sharingan, he had one single tomoe and one double tomoe, which caused quite a stir within the Uchiha clan.

He has now awakened his Sharingan with two tomoe, which is not only unprecedented, but also extremely rare in the history of the Uchiha clan.

However, this was not the time to be happy, because Rin had not yet been rescued. After bandaging Kakashi's left eye, the two entered the cave and found Rin and Huoguang, who was interrogating him.

While Huoguang was complaining that the others were useless, he swung out two blades from his arm and attacked the two men directly.

Hikari was older than Kakashi and Obito, and his strength surpassed their combined power. He even suppressed them in physical combat at one point.

However, he underestimated Obito, who had just awakened his Sharingan. Obito's Sharingan perception ability instantly saw through Hikari's movements. Hikari's double blades were blocked by Obito's two feet, and Kakashi took the opportunity to strike, and Hikari fell to the ground.

At this point, Kakashi hadn't realized the importance of "finishing off" the enemy, and before he could even confirm whether Nohara was dead, he rushed off to rescue Nohara Rin.

While the three were still exchanging words, the Iwagakure ninja, Hikari, woke up.

This is the consequence of not "finishing off" the enemy.

Huoguang was furious when he saw the three of them still so lovey-dovey. He immediately used his ninjutsu, Earth Release: Rock Collapse, to make them have a proper chat underground.

Seeing the cave collapse, the three of them ran for their lives. However, Kakashi, due to his injured left eye, had a misaligned vision and was unable to dodge the falling rocks. He was knocked unconscious by one of the rocks.

Seeing his friend in danger, Obito immediately ran over, picked Kakashi up, and threw him to a safe place.

Finally, he even said the cheeky line, "Kakashi, this time it's my turn to protect you."

He was then hit by a falling boulder.

When the smoke cleared, Kakashi and Rin were shocked to find that half of Obito's body was embedded in the rocks.

Even Obito knew that the injury was beyond saving, so he offered to give Kakashi his other Sharingan as a gift for Kakashi's promotion to Jonin.

She asked Kakashi to see the world for her, and entrusted Rin to Kakashi.

With a heavy heart, Rin removed Obito's Sharingan and replaced it with Kakashi's.

At this moment, Kakashi was experiencing the saddest and angrier moment of his life.

Kakashi returned to the ground and saw the firelight that hadn't left yet. He pulled out his White Fang short sword and went to fight. His murderous gaze made the firelight feel a chill.

With the Sharingan's enhancement, Kakashi was able to fight Hikari to a standstill, and Hikari used his blade to shatter Konoha's White Fang's ninja sword.

However, Kakashi was in a state of extreme power at this time, and even without his sword, he still had [Chidori].

With the Sharingan's insight, Chidori's weaknesses were instantly overcome, and Kakashi killed Hikaru on the spot.

Just as the two were thinking about how to rescue Obito who was being pinned down.

The reinforcements from Iwagakure have arrived.

The Iwagakure ninja used Earth Release: Earth Split Palm to attack Kakashi and the others, causing their already precarious crypt to collapse again. Kakashi had no choice but to take Rin away first.

Subsequently, facing the encirclement of Iwagakure ninja, Kakashi always protected Rin behind him. Just when things were extremely dangerous, Minato Namikaze arrived in time to resolve the situation.
