Chapter 99 The Battlefield Hidden in the Mist

"Lord Madara! Something terrible has happened!"

White Zetsu emerged from the ground, his tone slightly flustered.

Both Black Zetsu and Obito Uchiha looked at White Zetsu.

"What's going on?"

"Obito, your two companions are in bad shape."

Obito's pupils contracted at White Zetsu's words. "Rin! Kakashi! What happened to them?"

"The two of them were on a mission in Kirigakure. Rin Nohara was captured by Kirigakure ninjas, and Kakashi went to rescue her. Now the two of them are being chased by Kirigakure people!" White Zetsu briefly explained the situation.

Obito struggled to his feet.

"No! I have to go find them!"

"No!"

Madara Uchiha, dressed in black Zetsu, spoke up at the opportune moment, "Your body has not yet fully recovered."

"Lord Madara! I have to go!" Obito's eyes were resolute.

Black Zetsu sighed, feigning helplessness. "Alright, but bring White Zetsu with you. He can guide you and help stabilize your injuries."

Learning from Zhibodi's father, who was overjoyed, he exclaimed, "I'm off now!"

In the Hidden Mist battlefield, Kakashi's expression was solemn, with the unconscious Rin on his back.

"Damn it! Why do these Hidden Mist ninja always manage to find our location, even though I've covered it up?" Kakashi cursed inwardly, then looked at Rin behind him. "Could it be that the Hidden Mist ninja left a backup plan on Rin?"

Since Sakumo Hatake didn't die, Kakashi doesn't share the same belief in the original work that missions are more important than comrades.

Especially after Obito's death in front of him not long ago, Kakashi cherished his comrades even more.

"They're right ahead! Surround them! Don't let them get away!"

The voice of the Hidden Mist ninja came from behind.

There was no other way! Kakashi dragged his heavy steps and rushed out of the bushes where he was hiding.

A ninja was right in front of me.

Kakashi took a deep breath, drew the short sword from behind him, and with a flash of lightning, he swept past the Hidden Mist ninja, taking his life in the process.

This is the White Tooth Knife Technique.

Quick, ruthless, and accurate!

In the original work, Kakashi almost abandoned the White Fang sword technique because of Sakumo Hatake's death, and instead relied on Obito's Sharingan to achieve the title of Konoha's number one technician and the Copy Ninja.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

Feeling the water dragon behind him, Kakashi continuously squeezed out the chakra within his body.

"Faster! Faster! The signal flare has been fired. If we go just a little further, Father and the others will definitely be here!" Kakashi shielded Rin and kept rushing forward.

However, Kakashi's body was almost completely exhausted from the long battle.

The water dragon sent Kakashi flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

Ignoring his pain, Kakashi scrambled to his feet and rushed towards Rin, shouting, "I promised Obito I would protect Rin!"

Kakashi stopped in his tracks.

The Hidden Mist ninjas gradually surrounded them; there were many of them.

Seeing this, Kakashi leaned Rin against a tree, then held a short sword in his right hand and reached behind his back with his left hand to grab a kunai, only to touch a trident kunai.

Kakashi was slightly lost in thought.

"Brother Shikatoki, Brother Minato, where are you right now? If you were here, wouldn't Obito still be alive!"

Kakashi subconsciously channeled his chakra into the trident kunai and the shadow.

Kakashi knew that Minato and Shika had gone missing.

Kakashi had tried it before when fighting the Iwagakure ninja, but to no avail. Now that he was in a desperate situation again, Kakashi had actually given up hope and was just trying it out.

Just before Kakashi was attacked.

On an unknown island.

Deer and water gate passed through the turbulent currents and landed on the island.

Minato was in a sorry state, covered in blood. "This spatial turbulence is terrifying. If it weren't for Shikatoki blocking most of it for me, I probably would have been cut to pieces by now."

Lu Shi didn't have any injuries.

But his clothes didn't escape the same fate; now Lu Shi's clothes are tattered and torn from head to toe.

"Where is this place? Let's find someone to ask first." Lu Shi looked around. "But this doesn't look like a place where anyone lives."

"Let's just use space-time ninjutsu to leave," Minato said with a smile.

Lu Shi rolled her eyes. "You give it a try. If it works, you can take me with you."

Minato was taken aback. He tried to sense the location of the Flying Thunder God mark and successfully found the mark belonging to Konoha. Just as he was about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, he found that the energy fluctuations within his body were very unstable.

"What's going on?"

"It's probably due to spacetime turbulence. We just need to rest for a while. Let's find our way ourselves first."

When Shika made the suggestion, Minato didn't have any objections.

The two left the deserted island and looked at the boundless sea. Lu Shi used the Peacock Magic to create a giant dragon, and the two sat on the dragon and flew into the air.

After flying for a while, Minato pointed ahead, "Shikatoki, look, there's a castle ahead!"

Lu Shi opened his eyes and looked over. "The capital of the Water Kingdom?"

Back when Shika was highly sought after by various daimyo, he also accepted a mission from the daimyo of the Land of Water and came to the capital of the Land of Water.

"Whatever it is! Let's rest first."

"Too."

The two landed nearby and then used a transformation technique to enter the capital of the Land of Water.

Using the transformation technique wasn't out of fear of their identities being exposed, but because the two of them were practically naked, and men have their pride!

The first thing I did upon entering the city was to buy clothes.

After changing their clothes, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"I wonder how far the war has progressed," Minato said with some concern. "I wonder if Kushina has been sent to the battlefield."

Minato's biggest worry was Kushina Uzumaki.

Although Kushina was strong and got along well with Kurama, Minato understood her.

I know that Kushina is actually very impulsive, which can be fatal on the battlefield.

"If you're worried, head towards Konoha. I remember the Kirigakure battlefield was originally the responsibility of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, with Sakumo-senpai as the main person in charge. I don't know if that's changed now."

Lu Shi thought for a moment and then explained what had happened.

At this moment, Sakumo Hatake was truly anxious!

I don't know what's gotten into Kirigakure. They were just fighting amongst themselves for the position of Fourth Mizukage not long ago.

But recently, for some reason, Kirigakure, which was previously in internal strife, seems to have reached a consensus.

Kirigakure launched another attack.

And it became extremely crazy.

Especially today, these Hidden Mist ninjas are charging at Konoha's defensive line like they're fearless.

Just then, he saw Kakashi's distress signal.

As the commander-in-chief, he couldn't leave in the face of an attack from Kirigakure. He could only send a small team out to provide relief, but after so long, there was still no news.

"Sakumo-senpai! Those lunatics from Kirigakure are here again."

Hyuga Hizashi walked in with a solemn expression.

Sakumo Hatake rubbed his temples. "Notify Fugaku! Assemble and prepare for battle!"

"clear."

Upon receiving the news, Fugaku Uchiha stood up with a dark expression. "The Uchiha clan, assemble and prepare for battle!"

Konoha and Kirigakure clashed again.

Kakashi's situation was dire; blood was streaming down his forehead, his left hand was dangling at his side, his right hand was tightly gripping a short sword, and blood was seeping from his arm.

"Something's not right! Something's definitely not right! I am indeed strong, but I shouldn't be able to survive this long under the attack of so many people! These Hidden Mist ninjas don't seem to want to kill me; they just want me to escape!"

When Kakashi thought of this, he was stunned for a moment.

Why!

Correct!

Why?

Why let me escape when there were so many opportunities to kill me?

"Ahem!"

Just then, a soft cough was heard.

Kakashi glanced at Rin out of the corner of his eye and saw that she had already woken up. Kakashi slowly backed away, and the Hidden Mist ninja did not stop him, just watched.

Approaching Rin, Kakashi asked softly, "Rin! Are you alright?"

Rin got up from the ground and, seeing Kakashi covered in injuries, immediately used medical ninjutsu to treat him. "Kakashi, Kirigakure has put the Three-Tails inside me! The seal is very unstable! We can't go back to Konoha camp!"

Kakashi's pupils contracted.

He wasn't stupid; he instantly understood Kirigakure's plan.

Rin brought the Three-Tails into the Konoha camp, and then the Three-Tails unleashed its power in the Konoha camp. The consequences of such an attack would be immeasurable.

Kakashi grabbed Rin and crackled with lightning, attempting to break through from the side.

However, the Hidden Mist Village, which hadn't stopped him from breaking through, suddenly blocked Kakashi's path. The Hidden Mist ninja coldly uttered two words, "Go back!"
