Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha.

Chapter 106 Kannabi Bridge (No main character)

On September 14th, Konoha Year 49, Kakashi will celebrate his 12th birthday, at which time he will become the second youngest Jonin in Konoha.

Two outstanding classmates emerged in the same year, and taking advantage of Kakashi's birthday, Rin Nohara organized another party.

At the beginning of the month, the higher-ups had already completed their mobilization, with almost all the Jonin being assigned to the front lines, and the young Chunin also receiving patrol assignments.

Inside the barbecue restaurant, many villagers and the remaining ninjas were discussing the end of the war at the end of the year. Most ninjas were already very satisfied with receiving the commission from the Land of Wind.

Having changed into casual clothes, Kurenai Yuhi looked around and, not seeing Rin Nohara's little follower, immediately teased, "Why don't I see Obito?"

"I remember he always liked to be by your side."

"That's not true at all. Obito just lacked friends. He was also very happy that Kakashi was promoted to Jonin!"

Rin Nohara smiled and tried to salvage the situation for Obito. Hearing this, Asuma Sarutobi, sitting opposite him, sighed, resting his chin on his hand: "He was probably discouraged by Kakashi!"

"Ninja skills are indeed very important, but hardworking geniuses are even more terrifying."

"Kakashi has taken on just as many battles as Shu, so it's only right that he earned the rank of Jonin."

Kakashi had only recently returned to the village to rest, and it had been almost a week. He knew that the village, with no shortage of fighting power, would take care of them, these young "seeds".

But at the crucial moment, Minato assigned him a patrol mission again, which made Kakashi somewhat resentful: "He's just a Jonin, I didn't take him seriously."

"Obito should face reality. There are other professions in this world besides ninja. He doesn't need to make things difficult for himself."

The two girls simply smiled to ease the awkward atmosphere, but Asuma paused, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Once this mission is over, there shouldn't be any more war!"

"Kakashi, this is the medical kit I prepared for you. It has been improved over the years and will be of great help to you."

Rin Nohara blushed slightly and presented the gifts with both hands. She gave these gifts every year: a medical kit and a heart-shaped amulet, hoping to protect Kakashi.

Soon, everyone presented their gifts, with Might Guy holding up the green bodysuit he had given out and loudly recommending it: "Kakashi, this is the newly released upgraded version! Wearing this will significantly improve your training efficiency!"

"I won't wear it, thank you, Kai."

Upon hearing Kakashi's refusal, Might Guy cried out sadly. Rin Nohara, watching this joyful scene, suddenly thought of Obito, who was all alone: ​​"I hope tomorrow's mission goes smoothly."

The next morning, at the edge of the dense forest on the western side of the Land of Fire, Kakashi stood on a rock with his arms crossed and his eyes closed, waiting, while Raikage was tidying up his ninja tool bag beside him.

Nohara Rin kept turning her head to look around. It was almost 7 o'clock, but Obito still hadn't appeared. It seemed she was going to be late again.

"Damn it, are we going to be too late?"

"Kakashi's going to complain again, isn't he!"

Obito mentally complained as he sped through the tree branches. In order not to be late, he was already speeding up as fast as he could. Just as he was about to burst out of the dense forest, his chakra exploded again.

"what!"

Obito screamed as he tripped over a vine and flew through the air, rolling twice on the grass. When he opened his eyes, he saw that all three of them were looking at him.

"Are you alright, Obito?!"

Rin Nohara hurriedly went over to check on him. Obito, who had been pulled up, looked at the girl helping him pat his clothes with some embarrassment, and for a moment he was so dumbfounded that he forgot he was late.

"I shouldn't have had any expectations of you. The mission is very clear: protect the Kannabi Bridge."

"Our assigned area is a key area, and we also need to coordinate with several other teams to patrol the borders of the Land of Fire."

"Set off!"

Kakashi gave a brief explanation and sped away, while Obito ran off, shouting, "What a show-off! I just ran into an old lady who needed help, and I wasn't late at all!"

"What's so great about being a Jonin? I'll advance to that rank eventually. Once I awaken my Sharingan, I'll definitely surpass you, you despicable bastard!"

Hearing the complaints, Kakashi didn't turn around and sped towards the bamboo forest, entering mission mode. He couldn't be bothered to argue with Obito.

At each supply point, Kakashi would stop and mark it on the map.

With the help of Nohara Rin and Namiashi Raido, they quickly finished patrolling most of the area they were responsible for.

After checking a trap, the four rested again. Kakashi looked at the map while gently sniffing the air a few times.

At this moment, Obito was putting in eye drops. He didn't take the mission to heart. His elders in the clan had told him about the situation on the front line of the Land of Grass. The Iwagakure ninjas were afraid of fighting and it was impossible for them to break through the defense line.

As they crossed a large puddle, Kakashi immediately raised his right hand, his nose twitched again, and he swiftly drew his short sword, his face grave as he warned, "An unexpected situation has arisen; Iwagakure ninja have breached the defenses!"

"How could this happen? The enemy couldn't possibly have done this. Is there a problem at the front?"

Namiashi Raido drew his long sword and asked in a low voice, while Nohara Rin nervously pulled out her kunai.

Obito was caught up in the tense atmosphere, and a bead of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

"We don't have enough information to make a judgment yet, but Minato-sensei and the others will soon realize what's going on here."

"Kakashi Hatake? I didn't expect it to be you."

"Killing your genius subordinate, I wonder if that Yellow Flash will feel any pain."

Two Jonin from Iwagakure suddenly appeared, their arms bound with blades, their bodies "sucked" onto the branches of a giant bamboo, their faces showing cruelty as they looked down at the squad.

"Silver hair, and that short sword!"

"An unexpected surprise! It's time for the Konoha ninjas to feel the pain!"

The demon leech emerged from behind a rock, its long sword hanging low. When it looked at Kakashi, a hint of bloodlust appeared in its eyes.

Many of his friends and subordinates were killed by Minato Namikaze, and this time he was able to break through the defenses by chance, with only the thought of revenge in his mind.

A blue light blade instantly appeared on the short sword in Kakashi's right hand, crackling with electricity. He took out a pill with his left hand, decisively threw it into his mouth, and whispered, "This is not an opponent you can handle. Head southwest and rendezvous with the other teams."

"call out!"

The firelight moved with incredible speed, the blades of both hands crossed in front of him, and he lunged down at Kakashi. On the other side, the demon leech instantly appeared beside Raido, and their long swords clashed repeatedly.

"Obito, let's get out of here right now!"

Seeing that Namiashi Raido was completely suppressed, Nohara Rin immediately followed Kakashi's instructions and prepared to retreat.

No sooner had they finished speaking than several huge bamboo spikes suddenly shot down from above them.

"call out!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Upon hearing the sound of something cutting through the air, Obito calmly unleashed a massive fireball to deflect the spikes. Just as he was about to turn around in response, he suddenly heard a cry of alarm.

"ah..."

Oishi, having exited stealth mode, reappeared on a distant boulder with Nohara Rin on his shoulder. His two teammates then returned to his side, and all three wore cruel expressions: "We'll take this little girl."

"Wait a moment!"

Obito recklessly rushed into the smoke bomb, and seeing the three disappear, he immediately wanted to give chase, but Kakashi stopped him: "Don't chase, Obito! This is a trap that Iwagakure ninjas often use."

"I'll go to the front lines to scout out the situation and report back to Teacher Shuimen. You guys go to the southwest base to meet up with the other squads and wait for instructions."

"Without Rin's crucial intelligence, the Iwagakure ninja will get nothing."

Kakashi finished giving his instructions and was about to turn and leave when Obito grabbed him.

Obito was filled with frustration, and upon hearing Kakashi's intention to abandon Rin Nohara, he roared, "What are you saying? What about Rin?!"

"This is no longer a patrol mission. If a team of a hundred people really breaks through the defenses, a town will become the next Kikyo Castle."

"I told you long ago that you lack the talent of a ninja, and I don't want to waste my time because more people might die because of it."

Kakashi was about to leave when Obito angrily threw a punch, which was blocked by Raido Namiashi.

"Talent, talent! You have such outstanding talent, yet even your companions want to give up on you!"

"That's Lin. She carefully prepares a first-aid kit for you every birthday. Think of those amulets; she's always praying for you."

"Aren't you a genius? You clearly had the ability to save her, yet you let her die in despair?"

Obito shouted angrily, while Raiichi hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. Kakashi turned around again, ready to leave: "As tools, ninjas must be prepared to be sacrificed."

"Lin is not a tool, you bastard!"

Obito cursed and shook off his companion, walking in the opposite direction. Seeing this, Raido Namiashi hurriedly reminded him, "Obito, we must follow the captain's instructions."

"What captain? He's just a coward. If he were a hero like White Fang, how could he abandon his comrades?"

Obito glared angrily at the two of them, and noticing that Kakashi had stopped, he immediately said in a deep voice, "If talented people don't take responsibility, then let me, the loser, change the world."

"I don't care about ninjas or rules, I'm going to save Rin!"

Obito ignored their reactions, unleashed a burst of chakra, and chased after the direction the Iwagakure ninja had gone.

Kakashi instinctively gripped the medical kit in his ninja tool pouch, recalling the girl's expression when she gave him the gift last night, and sadly lowered his head.

Seeing Kakashi move away without intending to help, Raido Nami reached out and grabbed Kakashi, whispering, "Captain, I want to try. As a Konoha ninja, you shouldn't abandon your comrades."

"Minato-sensei should realize it. If he's already on his way to the rescue, we should go and save Rin even more."

O

"If Lin dies because of our inaction, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."

Kakashi watched as Namikaze Raido turned and left, instinctively gripping the White Fang short sword on his back. The bamboo forest was eerily quiet; he could only whisper in anguish, "Father, is this what you faced back then?"

"Xiu, if it were you, you should be able to solve this problem."

Kakashi took out the medical kit the girl had given him again, stared at it for a moment, and then made up his mind. He swallowed the remaining two secret pills one by one, and then took out another set and placed it on the edge of his ninja tool bag.

The restrictions on the chakra points in his brain vanished instantly, and Kakashi struggled to control this surge of power, accelerating as he chased after the two.
