The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Despite reacting quickly, her right arm and abdomen were still slashed.

Another enemy!

At that moment, a sharp glint flashed in Ma Jia's eyes, who was hiding in the shadows.

The roots!

White Fang, who was also observing from the shadows, didn't notice, but Maka still recognized him.

Although the other party was wearing Sand Ninja attire, Maga, who had been using his mental perception the entire time, knew very well that the other party hadn't come from the battlefield. As if with a purpose, they intervened directly from outside the battlefield, heading straight for Team 7. Furthermore, before arriving, they had changed out of their Root masks and put on Sand Ninja clothing.

"Damn it, what is Danzo up to now?"

Maka was truly disgusted at this point. How come Danzo was everywhere?

What did the Seventh Squad do to provoke him? They actually attacked him on the battlefield!

Maka thought back and realized that Team 7 didn't seem to have provoked Danzo. That Danzo was disgusting; he would just grab whoever he could and beat them up.

Moreover, they've been openly attacking the village's ninjas almost every time!

Although it seems that Danzo didn't go that far, only sending a special Jonin, unlike Uchiha Kiyoshi who was besieged by a large number of Root members, Danzo's behavior is still disgusting.

Attack the village's ninjas!

Using their power, they investigated the village ninjas' movements and sent ninjas to attack and kill them.

During a major battle, if the enemy succeeds, not a single piece of evidence will be left behind.

Chapter 265 Death Battle

Maga was furious at Danzo's actions.

Of course, it was only some anger, not as much as when the main body was besieged before.

After all, he was no longer a Konoha ninja, so what Danzo did had nothing to do with him.

I'm just disgusted by the other person's behavior.

This time, Maga has ample reason to believe that the Third Hokage was truly unaware of the situation.

In the past, it was one thing, the two colluded to control power in Konoha. But things are different now. After years of gradual encroachment, the Third Hokage has completely seized power in Konoha. At this point, Danzo and the Third Hokage's goals have begun to diverge, especially the Third Hokage's refusal to allow Danzo to succeed as Hokage, which has become the biggest rift between them.

At this juncture, with the Third Hokage old and about to abdicate after the war, it would be reasonable for Danzo and the Third Hokage to engage in some underhanded dealings.

"This Root ninja must be a spy, the kind who is directly under Danzo. Only in this way could they have carried out this operation without the Third Hokage's knowledge."

The addition of a special Jonin didn't create an overwhelming advantage, and Maga wasn't in a hurry to act. Besides, the two special Jonin working together were against Kakashi, not Rin...

Maga's mission was to protect Rin's safety; Kakashi's role was secondary. After sensing White Fang's presence, Maga abandoned any thought of protecting Kakashi. "You protect your son yourself; I'm not going to worry about him anymore."

In other words, among the three members of Team 7 present, Obito received the least protection; at least the hidden strong individuals had the weakest intention to protect him.

"That's not right either. It's only been a little over a year since the Kannabi Bridge incident. Obito should have already come into Madara's sights by now. In other words, Obito might not be without anyone to protect him."

Black Zetsu? Or some other method?

Maga didn't dwell on it too much. Black Zetsu's concealment skills were extremely high, and he wasn't sure he could find him. The reason his main body was able to find and recognize him last time was mainly because Black Zetsu hadn't hidden himself well. After all, even someone who had hidden for a thousand years, no matter how cunning, would inevitably become arrogant and lower their guard. His main body had only discovered Black Zetsu's existence last time because of this. The reason he was certain it was Black Zetsu was mainly due to luck, since Uchiha Kiyoshi had uttered the name Black Zetsu with a questioning tone...

"It's alright. If the three of them unleash their full power, they should be able to handle it."

No longer considering those meaningless things, Maga turned his attention to the battlefield, assessed the strength of both sides, and made a judgment.

However, with a burst of power, Team 7 still has a chance to turn the tide. Of course, this burst of power will definitely require Obito's cooperation.

Cooperation, in this context, means opening one's eyes.

In the original story, Obito did not awaken his Sharingan during this period; he only awakened it during the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.

However, the situation is not necessarily the same now...

Fire Release: Explosive Fist

Obito unleashed his Explosive Fist once more, heading towards the remaining Sand Ninja Chunin.

"Water Escape Technique: Water Prison"

Rin, with Obito's help, used the Water Prison Technique to stop the enemy.

The two Special Jonin didn't shift their focus; they continued to deal with Kakashi. Given the current situation, even if the other two arrived to help, it wouldn't be enough to harm the two Special Jonin. Kakashi was different; he was a genuine threat to them. Therefore, eliminating Kakashi first was the best option. Even if their Chunin comrade was killed, the other two Konoha ninjas would be too weak to continue.

The outburst from those two brats will definitely have side effects.

"Die!"

Obito threw a punch, and flames erupted. The Chunin finally met the same fate as his comrades before him.

"hiss"

After defeating his opponent, Obito finally recovered and felt the pain in his body, grimacing in pain.

"Obito, hurry, Kakashi is in danger."

At this point, Kakashi's battlefield was no longer in their sight. Remember, when the second Special Jonin arrived, Obito had given Kakashi a warning, but now they were nowhere to be seen. How could Rin not understand Kakashi's meaning? He probably realized they were no match for their opponents and lured them away, hoping they could escape.

But how could that be possible?

Despite the pain, Obito and Rin rushed to Kakashi's battlefield.

During this time, perhaps seeing that Obito was in too much pain, Rin treated him.

"This is the best we can do without affecting our speed. Kakashi is in too much danger right now. We need to get there quickly."

Lin knew that Kakashi would have a tough time facing two special Jonin, and his remaining strength was probably limited. Obito was also severely injured from his recent outbursts and couldn't exert much of his fighting power. In fact, she was in the best condition right now.

"I can definitely do it. Teacher Hui taught me a lot of ways to work hard."

Thinking of her trump card, Lin was also full of confidence.

When Obito and the other arrived, Kakashi was already in grave danger.

Kakashi was covered in wounds, and the chakra he could sense was extremely weak. He held a sword in his right hand and struggled to defend against the enemy's attacks.

"boom!"

Kakashi was blasted away by the opponent's Wind Release technique, tumbling for about ten meters before coming to a stop.

He got up from the ground, seemingly noticing the arrival of Obito and the other person; his lips trembled beneath the mask.

"idiot"

Despite his outward curses, Kakashi was deeply moved, and something seemed to have changed in the depths of his eyes.

Upon seeing Obito and his companion arrive, the first special jonin realized the death of his comrade. Although he had expected it due to the war, he was still somewhat saddened.

Humans aren't plants or trees; how could they possibly have no feelings after so many battles on the battlefield?

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"

A strong wind blew, and Obito was blown several meters away before barely landing. His body was shaken and disoriented by the impact.

"Wind Release: Gale Palm"

While Obito was being blown away, the opposing ninja was not idle either. He used Gale Palm to come in front of Obito and struck out with his palm.

"Obito!"

Lin exclaimed in surprise, and quickened the hand seals she was forming.

"Water Escape Technique: Water Prison"

Obito was sent flying backwards, while the Sand Ninja were controlled by Rin's water prison.

"Is that all? It's still far inferior to that white-haired kid."

Lin ignored the other party's threats and continued to guide them with both hands.

"Water Escape·Water Explosion"

The water prison that had been binding the Sand Ninja suddenly erupted with a powerful chakra reaction.

"What is this? Oh no!"

"boom!"

The water prison exploded, filling the air with steam.

The sound of the explosions here even drew the attention of spies.

Kakashi's eyes flashed, he swallowed the soldier's ration pill, formed hand seals, and activated the last of his chakra.

Lightning Release: Chidori

He compressed his Lightning Release chakra into his right hand, and a dazzling burst of lightning flashed, instantly accompanied by the chirping of a thousand birds.

Kakashi suddenly lunged forward, his right hand piercing through his opponent's abdomen like a sharp blade.

Lin stared intently at the center of the mist. As the mist dissipated, revealing the figure inside, her heart sank.

Even a special Jonin couldn't kill the opponent.

Although he wasn't killed, the Sand Village Special Jonin was severely injured, and even the slightest movement caused him excruciating pain. After all, the water prison had exploded around him, causing damage from all directions. It wasn't just the tearing sensation; he felt like his entire body was falling apart.

Obito unleashed his Explosive Fist once more, flames erupting from his feet as he charged rapidly toward the Sand Ninja.

"die!"

With a roar, Obito delivered his final punch, then collapsed forward, unconscious.

Secretly, Maka's opinion of Obito also rose a bit. At least in life-or-death battles, this guy was reliable. He was already quite impressive that he only fainted after so many bursts of power.

After all, the Explosive Fist can damage the body and requires extremely high control over chakra. Obito has been using it beyond his limits these past few times, and his mind is already exhausted from using it so many times.

"Why did you have to explode at this moment? The opponent is already in this state, wouldn't it be better to let Rin finish them off? How can you activate your Sharingan if you're unconscious..." Although he had given Obito a high evaluation, Maka still had to complain.

You thought you could be a hero? You deserve to have your Sharingan malfunction.

At this point, the 7th squad had already killed the enemy. The remaining Root spy was, strictly speaking, an accident, as he came directly based on the information given by Danzo.

Rin checked Obito's aura and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he had simply passed out.

End of Chapter 266

"Huh, huh..."
