Seeing White Zetsu's body collapse limply, Mirai finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "These guys are really troublesome. It feels like we can never kill them all."
"That's because there are just too many of them." Sakura forced a smile and said, "According to Kakashi-sensei, there are 100,000 of these inhuman creatures."
"One hundred thousand..." Future couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
But at that moment, two bright blue arcs of electricity suddenly appeared on the side, rushing towards Sakura at a speed that was impossible to see with the naked eye.
They were two men. They wore headbands from the Hidden Cloud Village, and their arms were wrapped in eerie lightning, making them appear as if they were covered in electric light.
The Olam brothers of Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) are super rookies who have emerged in the ninja world in the last two years. Because they have mastered the lightning-style ninjutsu of the Raikage lineage, their strength is far more violent and powerful than that of ordinary Kumogakure ninja!
Indeed, that was the case, because faced with the combined attack of the two brothers, there was no time to provide assistance. Just as their arms were about to pierce Sakura's abdomen, one of them suddenly turned and attacked his companion.
Bang.
A muffled thud.
The two brothers collided and were sent flying backwards by the force of the impact.
"Muto, what are you doing?" the attacked brother asked angrily.
"I...I don't know!" The younger brother wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a complicated look in his eyes, "Just now, my body suddenly lost control."
Out of control? Could it be...?
Sakura seemed to realize something and turned her gaze to the side. Sure enough, a blonde figure slowly appeared, making her breathe a slight sigh of relief. "Ino, thank you."
"That's unnecessary." Ino waved her hand and smiled, "As the future queen of the Land of Fire, isn't it her duty to save her people?"
"You bastard..." Sakura's initial gratitude towards her vanished instantly. "Are you trying to pick a fight?"
"You shouldn't be talking about things like 'princess' in front of me, right?" Future was speechless.
"You'll get used to it sooner or later." Ino winked at her and said, "Won't you, future princess?"
"Hearing you address me like that, I feel like you're taking advantage of me," Future muttered to herself.
"Are you alright?" Just then, a voice suddenly rang out. "Is anyone injured?" As the voice spoke, two soft thuds followed, and the two Cloud Ninjas died instantly.
"No, Kakashi-sensei." Future looked at the newcomer and smiled, "We're all fine. But how's the battle going?"
"The plan is progressing smoothly." Kakashi paused for a moment, then said, "The enemies on both the east and west sides have been drawn here. Given our current situation, we should be able to hold out for now without any problems."
That's the truth. Although they are at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers, their high-end combat strength is a force to be reckoned with. Whether it's the women of Mugetsu, or Itachi, Shisui, and the others, every single one of them possesses power surpassing that of an ordinary Kage-level fighter. They're completely unleashing their power, mowing down enemies on the battlefield.
"In that case, as long as we hold out until Papa and Yuuki's final showdown, it should be fine, right?" Mirai seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said softly.
“That’s right, that’s exactly it.” Kakashi nodded, gazing into the distance. “Now, let’s look forward to it…”
"You have no expectations." A strange emphasis suddenly rang out, interrupting Kakashi's next words. "Whether it's you or the Konoha Celestial Dragons, you will all perish." The air gradually distorted, and a figure shrouded in a black robe and wearing a mask suddenly appeared.
"They're the enemy!"
"attack!"
The group reacted incredibly quickly, throwing their kunai and shuriken in an instant. Surprisingly, however, the weapons pierced right through their opponent's body and landed behind him.
"Hmph, what a boring trick," the masked man said leisurely. "Such attacks are useless against me."
"The ability to become intangible?" Kakashi frowned. He had previously learned about Mugetsu from him. And recalling Mugetsu's knowing, knowing smile, this was... a friend he knew well.
But Kakashi had no recollection of ever having contact with this person. He knew this person well? Was this a joke? How could he possibly know someone like that?
"Kakashi Hatake." The masked man stared intently at Kakashi's face, a barely perceptible complexion flashing across his expression. "You can't stop me. You must all die here today. If your corpses were taken to Yuhi Mugetsuki, his expression would be quite interesting." As he spoke, he pulled a round fan from behind his back.
"That's... the Uchiha clan's fan?" Kakashi stared in disbelief, "The legendary weapon of Madara Uchiha, capable of reflecting all ninjutsu and genjutsu..."
"Oh, you know quite a lot." The masked man stared at him and said calmly, "So, are you ready to die?"
Chapter 0458 The Unbelievable Obito
Bang bang bang.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and jagged rocks pierced the sky.
Shhhhhh.
Kakashi, Mirai, and Sakura suddenly emerged from the smoke, looking rather disheveled and covered in dust. When the smoke cleared, the masked man opposite them said indifferently, "It's useless. No matter what attacks you launch, they have no effect on me." As he spoke, he raised his hands, forming hand seals once more.
Fire Release: Great Flame Fire Dragon!
puff.
Several tongues of fire shot out like long dragons, hurtling towards the three in the future at incredible speed. The scorching temperature made the entire air feel like it was burning, and a terrifying heat wave swept over them.
"Earth Release: Double Earth Wall!" With a soft hum, Kakashi slammed both palms onto the ground.
Rumble.
Two massive rock walls extended from the ground, completely blocking the flames. At that moment, Wei Lai swiftly leaped up, using the rock walls as a springboard to descend from above.
The Heavenly Dragon's Claw!
scoff.
Suddenly, a giant phantom of a dragon's claw appeared in mid-air and slammed down towards the direction where the masked man was standing.
The masked man's eyes narrowed, and he used his fan to parry the dragon claw attack horizontally. With a muffled thud, his body seemed to be struck by an immense force, and he was sent flying backward.
The art of disrupting the mind and body!
Seizing the opportunity, Ino used her family's secret technique, instantly gaining control of her opponent's body. However, before she could even rejoice, a loud voice suddenly rang in her mind. "Get out!"
boom.
Ino's consciousness seemed to have been blasted away by some kind of special barrier, returning to her body with a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth. "How is this possible? This guy's mental power..."
"Ino, are you alright?" Sakura asked with concern when she saw that Ino was injured.
"I can still hold on," Ino replied instinctively, then added, "Instead of me, let's think about how to deal with this guy. Neither ninjutsu nor my secret techniques are working. Are we going to have to engage him in a taijutsu duel?"
"Watch out, he's coming!" Kakashi shouted a warning.
Suddenly, the masked man on the other side vanished from his spot and reappeared behind Sakura.
Bang.
A muffled thud.
A slanted whip kick sent Sakura flying. Just as he was about to press his advantage, a powerful whirlwind suddenly swept towards him.
The Heavenly Dragon's Wing Strike!
In the future, with arms outstretched, like a giant dragon soaring through the heavens, it swooped down towards the masked man.
scoff.
At that moment, it was as if the air was being torn apart, and the surrounding airflow generated an extremely strong air wave that lifted the corner of the masked man's clothes.
However, he neither dodged nor resisted. He simply watched silently as the arms of the future passed through his body.
"Damn it!" Future, who had adjusted his position behind him, grinned and said angrily, "This ability is too troublesome."
"Cough cough, is there no way to subdue him?" Sakura slowly stood up from the other side, her face pale, and asked. "If this continues, we'll be worn down sooner or later."
“His intangibility ability must have a time limit,” Kakashi said softly, narrowing his eyes. “There’s a gap of about a few seconds in between. Only during that time…”
“But with that fan, ninjutsu is completely ineffective.” Ino exhaled a breath of stale air and said, “How can we find a weakness? Even with her future taijutsu, she can’t withstand continuous use.”
Indeed, while the physical attacks of Dragon Slayer Magic are incredibly powerful, they also consume a great deal of stamina. Even Future, who has grown considerably in the past two years, finds it difficult to sustain.
“Let’s try other methods…” Future stared at the masked man and said softly, “For example, this.” Suddenly, he bit his left thumb and pressed it into the ground.
Spiritual communication!
Bang.
A massive cloud of smoke rose up, enveloping the entire area. A gigantic slug dominated the battlefield.
"Summoning beasts?" The masked man sneered, "What a boring trick."
"Lord Slug, it's been a long time since I've seen you." Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, his tone tinged with nostalgia. However, this feeling of longing didn't last long before his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. "That, that's..."
"There's a person on the summoning beast?" Ino was also dumbfounded. From her angle, she could clearly see that there was actually a human standing on the huge slug.
"What... what's going on?" Not only them, but even Future was a little confused at this moment. "Summoning a spirit beast, and you get a buy-one-get-one-free deal?"
"Impossible...this is impossible!" the masked man muttered, his voice filled with disbelief. "Why, why are you here, Lin!"
Indeed, standing atop the slug's head was Rin Nohara, who had always lived in the Shikkotsu Forest. She was also Kakashi and Obito's former comrade-in-arms, appearing before them as if transcending time and space.
"Hmm, a familiar face." Rin looked at Kakashi and smiled, "It's been a long time, Kakashi-kun. In my memory, you were still a boy. But in reality, you've become an uncle. This sense of disparity between generations is truly surprising."
Chapter 0459 Former Comrades, Now Enemies
"You, you really are Rin?" Kakashi trembled, a surge of indescribable excitement and exhilaration coursing through him. "Alive? You, you're still alive?"
"Hmm?" Nohara Rin blinked, looking at him with a grin. "Kakashi-kun, do you think you're dreaming? A beautiful girl standing in front of you, does it feel unreal? But too bad, this beauty is already taken. You're a good person."
Clearly, seeing her companions made Nohara Rin very happy, and she even made such a joke.
Sakura whispered, "This older sister seems to know Kakashi-sensei?"
Ino nodded seriously. "And they seem to know each other quite well."
“I remember now, she should also be a disciple of my mother’s ex-boyfriend, Nohara Rin.” After a moment of silence, Mirai suddenly said, “When I was little, my father told me her story. I’ve always wanted to meet her, but my father never told me her exact location. I never imagined that she was kept in the Shikkotsu Forest. Is this what they call keeping a mistress hidden away?”
Is it really appropriate for you to say such things about His Majesty the Holy King?
"You can't talk about your father like that. Although it does seem like he's keeping a mistress in a gilded cage."
"You must be Mirai-chan. Your hair is exactly the same as Kushina-sensei's." Just as the girls were discussing among themselves, Rin suddenly turned her gaze to Mirai. "But this face looks more like your father."
Upon hearing this, Mirai opened her mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted by the slug beneath Rin. "If you want to reminisce, let's do that later, Rin. In this situation, it's better to deal with the enemy in front of us first."
“You’re right, Slug-sama.” Rin was startled, then turned her gaze to the masked man. “Should I call you Madara, or Obito?”
"What?!" Kakashi was stunned, his face showing disbelief. "Obito? He's Obito?"
“Obito, I remember he was Kakashi-sensei’s former comrade. But, isn’t he dead?” Mirai was also taken aback and asked in surprise.
"You... you actually know my identity?" Obito's eyes trembled as he stared intently at Rin. "Who told you?"
"Do you really think you've fooled everyone, Obito?" Rin looked at him calmly and said, "I not only know you're Obito, I also know that you became like this because you witnessed the harm Kakashi-kun caused me. You want to change this world, don't you?"
"Why, why do you know..." Obito's crimson pupils flickered, and his tone took on a strange hue. "Who are you? What kind of person are you?"
“Uchiha Madara lied to you,” Rin said softly. “Actually, the talisman in my heart was set by him. Its purpose was to make you fall into the abyss. Fortunately, at the critical moment, I was saved by Mugetsu-kun.”
