Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 87 Not ashamed

Kakashi and the other two didn't say much, but since Uchiha Tou had left Hatake Sakumo directly on the White Fang short sword, he quickly learned what had happened through Sakumo's soul.

The events unfolded much as Uchiha Tou had anticipated. After patrolling several times, Obito, who was on the battlefield for the first time, couldn't contain his excitement and wanted to find the enemy.

The current Kakashi is not the mission-oriented ninja from the original story. He was actually persuaded by Obito. As for Rin Nohara, because of her gentle nature, although she was uneasy, she ultimately did not voice her objections.

In reality, Obito wasn't stupid. They were just a little far from the camp, so theoretically, the chances of them running into the Cloud Ninja were slim.

However, perhaps Kakashi and Obito Uchiha really had some kind of luck or aura about them, because the three junior ninjas were only a little far from the camp when they ran into a four-person squad of Cloud Ninja.

A four-person team that can serve as the vanguard in the Cloud Ninja is basically a combination of one special Jonin and three Chunin, not the kind of weaklings with one Chunin leading three Genin.

Kakashi's strength is comparable to that of a special Jonin, and Obito can barely handle a Chunin. However, while Rin Nohara has some talent in medical ninjutsu, her combat strength is only that of a slightly better Genin. The two sides are not evenly matched.

Any ninja who has fought on the battlefield knows that when facing an enemy, you should kill the weakest one first to accumulate a snowballing advantage. Not to mention that Nohara Rin is a healer, which is why she was almost killed as soon as the battle started.

In the moment of crisis, it was Sakumo Hatake who possessed Kakashi and killed the special Jonin with a single strike, thus resolving the crisis.

In addition, Hatake Sakumo told Uchiha Touyu something—at Nohara Rin's most critical moment, Uchiha Obito activated a one-tomoe Sharingan and killed that Chunin.

Uchiha Touyu wasn't surprised at all by this, after all, while Obito's talents in other areas might be average, he was an absolute genius when it came to the Sharingan.

In the original story, Obito also had two tomoe on his first awakening of the Sharingan, and the second time he directly got the Mangekyou Sharingan. His progress was so fast that it would make other Uchiha cry in the toilet.

If Nohara Rin hadn't been seriously injured this time, and if Obito Uchiha hadn't been too young and had insufficient chakra, he might have been able to awaken a more advanced Sharingan.

As for Kakashi's dazed expression... Of course he was dazed. He felt his father possess him again and was so stimulated that it would be strange if he wasn't dazed.

After learning about the specific situation the three-person team had encountered, Uchiha Touyu casually offered a few words of comfort, and then allowed Hatake Sakumo's soul to return to the White Fang short sword.

For Uchiha Tomo, Hatake Sakumo's soul is no longer of much use; it's better to let him stay with his son.

Every time Sakumo Hatake possesses Kakashi and uses the White Fang Sword Technique, it's the best guidance for Kakashi. Plus, Kakashi himself is a top genius. It's estimated that with just a few more opportunities, Kakashi will be able to completely master the White Fang Sword Technique and become a true White Fang.

Even now, after being possessed by Sakumo Hatake once again, Kakashi's aura has changed somewhat. His presence seems sharper, and he vaguely exudes the demeanor of a Jonin.

After bidding farewell to his three junior ninjas, Uchiha Tou went straight to Orochimaru and handed over more than 40 headbands from the Cloud Ninja, all of which were for their battle achievements.

"Hiyu-kun is quite good, but you should be on a mission in the southeast, right? Have you seen the Third Raikage?"

Orochimaru glanced at the headband that Uchiha Tou handed over, gave it a casual compliment, and then asked a question.

"I saw it. It's exactly as Jonin Minato described. A beam of light descended directly from the sky, much like a space-time ninjutsu."

"Oh, so do you really think this Raikage knows space-time ninjutsu?"

"I don't think he himself would... Haven't you noticed? This Raikage has never used this kind of space-time ninjutsu in front of Konoha ninjas. Every time, we can only see the result of him teleporting over."

Orochimaru nodded slightly after hearing what Uchiha Hiyu said:

"That's right, that's what I guessed too. This long-distance teleportation ninjutsu was very likely used by another ninja and applied to the Raikage."

"In that case, at least we don't have to worry about the Third Raikage suddenly using a space-time ninjutsu during the battle!"

Uchiha Touyu shrugged slightly:

"Even so, it's still troublesome. It only prevents the Third Raikage from using space-time ninjutsu to fight or escape, but it can still be used for movement or support."

Orochimaru chuckled, skipping the topic, and looked at Uchiha Touyu, asking:

"Now that you've met the Third Raikage, did you fight him? What did you think of his strength?"

Uchiha Touya rolled his eyes.

"Teacher, if you want me dead, just say so. Do you think I'm crazy to dare fight that monster? Of course, I hid and ran away the moment he appeared!"

As soon as Uchiha Touyu finished speaking, Orochimaru's smile froze. Although he knew that his disciple's bottom line was unfathomable, Orochimaru still felt embarrassed every time he lowered it.

It's fine to be afraid of death; I'm the same kind of person who's afraid of death. But at least don't show it so obviously. Don't chicken out when you see a strong enemy!

Even though I, Orochimaru, have always pursued immortality and resisted death, my prestige has never wavered. No matter what kind of opponent I face, whether I can win or not is one thing, but whether my prestige is lost is another.

Unlike his disciple, who strikes hard against the weak and flees at the mere mention of a strong enemy, and most importantly, feels no shame after fleeing, but instead is smug and proud.

Fortunately, Orochimaru already knew a bit about his cheap disciple, and after taking a couple of breaths, his expression returned to normal.

"In other words, you know nothing about the Third Raikage's strength either?"

"Anyway, he's definitely stronger than me. In a head-on fight, Orochimaru-sensei, you'd be in serious trouble."

Orochimaru shook his head and said calmly:

"You don't need to give me face. My strength isn't much better than yours, Fei Yu. In a head-on fight, I'm definitely no match for the Third Raikage."

"It seems the only option is to find a way to use secret and forbidden techniques to hold this guy off. The strongest spear plus the strongest shield, the Third Raikage truly lives up to his reputation as the strongest Raikage of all time."
