The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Everyone present was breathing heavily.

After a long battle, their spirits have now reached their limit.

If we were to break it down further, Kakashi is at his absolute limit, currently only hanging on by a thread. Rin is in a better position, having only used Water Release to assist her companions; her injuries aren't severe, but the energy expenditure is considerable.

The last remaining Root spy was in the best condition. Although he was seriously injured, he had never experienced war before and was the type who came directly to cause trouble for Team 7.

His target was still Kakashi; in his eyes, Kakashi posed the greatest threat, after all...

Kakashi was no longer able to fight, so Rin had to go in by herself.

"Water Escape Technique: Water Prison"

A large amount of water surfaced, firmly binding the spies at the root.

By now, Rin was also nearing her limit, and her chakra was completely depleted. Swallowing the soldier's ration pill she was holding in her mouth, Rin focused her chakra and lunged forward, blocking Kakashi's path.

He took a kunai from his ninja tool pouch and fired it at the Root spy.

Even though they were bound, the Root spy still managed to avoid vital points.

His thigh and waist were pierced by kunai, and a lot of blood flowed out.

However, the water prison spell was broken by the opponent the next moment.

With the activation of the Body Flicker Technique, the Root spy instantly appeared in front of Rin, wielding a kunai and swinging it forward.

Lin remained calm, forming hand seals and using her newly recovered chakra to unleash another ninjutsu.

"Water Escape·Water Explosion"

The saliva in the mouth of the Root spy condensed and then exploded.

Caught off guard, he lost his balance and fell to this side.

The sudden explosion caught him off guard. It wasn't a water arrow or a water prison, but rather saliva exploding in his mouth, rendering all his defenses ineffective.

After all, who would bother using chakra to protect their mouth for no reason...?

The Root spy's mouth was already a bloody mess, and most of his teeth were broken.

As a special Jonin, and a ninja trained by Root, the Root spy reacted quickly, rolling to one side as he fell.

Using the momentum of the roll, the opponent bypassed Rin's interception, pushed off with his feet, and shot forward, heading straight for Kakashi.

In the shadows, neither Maga nor White Fang dared to be careless. Although they were powerful enough to take down a special Jonin without much effort, ensuring Rin and Kakashi's safety under their opponent's control was still difficult, especially in the critical moment when they had to save the two of them in a life-or-death situation.

Neither Maga nor White Fang are short-sighted people, and both are currently inconvenient to show themselves to avoid revealing their identities.

Although it's dangerous, isn't this kind of danger necessary for a ninja's growth?

Without the despair of facing death, where does motivation come from?

In modern warfare, there are too many unforeseen factors that can cause accidents. The safest approach is to improve their own strength rather than sending people to secretly protect them.

"It's a pity that Obito is unconscious now, otherwise he should have had a chance to awaken his Sharingan, and then the three of them would have had a chance to kill this enemy on their own."

"Sigh, as expected, his willpower isn't strong enough. No wonder he hasn't been able to open his eyes. Looks like Hui needs some serious training in the future."

At this moment, Maka even thought that the reason why Obito was so bad was not because he lacked talent or didn't work hard, but because he lacked willpower.

Without willpower, even the greatest talent is wasted.

Moreover, willpower is a vague concept; generally speaking, willpower is linked to the soul.

It's not that the stronger your willpower, the stronger your soul; rather, with higher willpower, the soul grows more and faster through continuous refinement.

Obito's will was not firm; even with a powerful soul and exceptional talent at the beginning, he ultimately couldn't grow. The awakening of the Sharingan is ultimately related to the soul; if the soul cannot be strengthened, the difficulty of awakening the Sharingan naturally increases.

"Perhaps, if we train Obito's willpower, the speed and difficulty of his awakening of his Sharingan will improve..."

For a moment, Maka was distracted, but this was only because he knew that White Fang was also secretly protecting him; otherwise, Maka would never have been distracted at this critical juncture.

In the instant that Maka was distracted, the Root ninja had already arrived not far from Kakashi, holding a kunai in his hand.

Rin realized something was wrong and tried to intercept him, but unfortunately, she was much slower than the special Jonin. Watching the enemy approach Kakashi step by step, Rin felt extremely guilty; after all, her carelessness had allowed the enemy to get so close. In Kakashi's current state, he certainly couldn't withstand the attack.

But what can she do now? She is also exhausted, her stamina and chakra are severely depleted, and at this point, being able to desperately stop them is already the limit.

Soldier pills are said to quickly replenish stamina and chakra, but in reality, it takes time for them to take effect. Furthermore, consuming too many soldier pills can have side effects; besides the feeling of fullness, they can damage the stomach, especially if consumed in large quantities within a short period. Not only is the damage greater, but the effectiveness also decreases. The soldier pill Rin just ate was the fifth one she'd taken that day, or more precisely, in the last few hours, and the amount of stamina and chakra it could replenish was extremely limited.

Kakashi watched the approaching enemy and tried to block, but his body wouldn't move. Having fought two Special Jonin alone, and then been ambushed by one of them, the injuries Kakashi sustained were considerable. He had also used Chidori once, and with several hours of continuous fighting, his body had long since reached its limit; it was normal that he couldn't move.

Watching the enemy relentlessly close in is an incredibly agonizing experience. At that moment, time seemed to stretch on endlessly; though it was only a few seconds, it felt infinitely long.

Kakashi tried desperately to control his body to fight back, but unfortunately, he couldn't.

Even before the opponent made a move, Kakashi himself was already mentally exhausted and his expression was somewhat dazed.

"Am I about to die? I'm so unwilling to accept this."

"No!"

Lin, who was not far away, was also screaming wildly in her heart.

Unlike Kakashi, Rin was more exhausted and physically drained; her injuries were not as serious, and her body was still under control.

Seeing Kakashi about to be killed, Rin frantically refined her chakra. Her body, which was already on the verge of its limit, was pushed to its limit once again, and Rin's figure was visibly weak.

Rin poured chakra into her legs, instantly increasing her speed significantly.

In that instant, Rin's speed was even faster than that of a special Jonin, and comparable to that of a true Jonin.

As disciples of Minato Namikaze, they naturally had some understanding of the Body Flicker Technique. However, due to their physical limitations, using it placed a considerable strain on their bodies. But this didn't hinder their learning. In the brutality of war, a sudden burst of speed could turn the tide of battle and save lives. Minato Namikaze did his best to teach them the Body Flicker Technique. What do physical injuries and strain matter compared to life? Shouldn't saving lives be the most important thing?

After all, this was one of the few things he could do to help them.

At this moment, Lin was performing the Body Flicker Technique while enduring a tremendous burden. Moreover, due to time constraints, she was performing a purely physical Body Flicker Technique, and the meridians in her feet were already severely damaged.

Even Maka panicked the moment Rin used her Instantaneous Movement technique.

Why be so impulsive? Don't you know your own physical condition? Why do you have to push yourself to this extent?

If he doesn't receive timely treatment, he'll probably spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Of course, that's assuming they survive. But with Maga and White Fang around, that's pretty much guaranteed.

At the critical moment, Rin rushed in front of Kakashi, ready to shield him from the attack with her own body.

"He actually had to let his comrade stand in front of him." Kakashi's pupils contracted sharply, his heart filled with resentment. Unfortunately, he had already reached his limit, and his last bit of energy was exhausted.

Kakashi's eyelids drooped heavily. He tried to open his eyes, unwilling to give up, but could only cry out helplessly in his heart.

At the last moment, he saw a white light, as if it illuminated the whole world.

That was the glint of a blade!

This was Kakashi's last thought.

Kakashi then lost control of his body and fell heavily to the ground.

White Fang has made his move.

A dazzling white light flashed just before the Root spy attack landed on Lin.

"Who?" Lin only had this thought for a moment, then a feeling of weakness came over her, and Lin fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

As a Kage-level expert skilled in assassination, White Fang's Body Flicker Technique is also extremely powerful. He instantly appeared in front of Rin and swung his sword down, cleaving the Root spy's body in two with a smooth cut.

At this moment, the Root spy stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"No, we can't let him die."

Maka instantly realized that this guy had clearly come with a specific purpose in mind to attack Team 7, and must have received instructions from Danzo. But such a thing didn't happen in the original story. At least, in Maka's memories from the future, there was no mention of Team 7 being on the verge of death during the Wind and Fire Battle.

What happened is something Maga needs to figure out.

With the activation of the Substitute Body Technique, Maka instantly appeared, grabbed the Root spy's "corpse," and vanished again in the next instant.

"clear!"

White Fang finally realized what was happening. In his memory, Hui was Qing. And Qing happened to be skilled in space-time ninjutsu. He had seen Qing use it during his recovery period after being resurrected, and Qing was also Rin's teacher, so it was understandable that he would come to protect his student.

But isn't "Qing" in the Land of Thunder?

Did they come here with Orochimaru and Jiraiya?

I don't understand Baiya.

After thinking for a while without finding an answer, White Fang had no choice but to give up. There were too many things about "Qing" that he couldn't understand, so one more wouldn't make a difference.

After checking and confirming that the three members of Team 7 were not in any danger, White Fang used a Fire Release technique to erase the traces of his attack while also attracting the attention of the Konoha ninjas. He then quietly retreated and hid in the shadows.

Soon after, Konoha ninjas arrived and discovered the three members of Team 7.

"Captain, it's a Konoha ninja. He's still breathing, but he's unconscious."

"Is this Kakashi?"

The captain mentioned by the Konoha ninja stepped forward to check, saw Kakashi, and recognized him.

"Quickly, take them with you and return to the front lines. Hui, treat them first. I see their injuries are quite severe; they must have been sustained in the recent battle."

At the same time, the "captain" was also secretly shocked. He had just checked the surrounding battle scene and it was clear that the people who had just fought were at least special jonin level ninjas. Kakashi was actually able to kill them.

Such a genius, if he grows up, will definitely be a great help to the village. Now that he has survived and been seen by them, he cannot be allowed to perish.

Chapter 267 Wrath

The Konoha ninja team leader recognized Kakashi and took the three members of Team 7 back to the camp for treatment. White Fang watched them return to the camp before finally leaving.

During a major battle, all ninjas participated, but this did not mean they had to stay on the battlefield the whole time. There was also a process of treating the wounded, but only a few were able to be discovered and treated in time.

White Fang's methods were naturally sophisticated. A squad leader, during a hasty inspection at the time, did not find anything unusual, and all three members of Squad 7 were unconscious. The course of events was naturally determined based on the rescue squad's description.

In other words, Team 7 managed to turn the tables on the enemy after encountering a special Jonin and two elite Chunin without dying!

I won't go into other matters, let's get to Ma Jia's side.

"Palm Immortal Technique"

Maka, carrying the "corpse" of a Root ninja, instantly appeared in a quiet area and used the Palm Healing Technique to heal the Root ninja.

The person was cut in half at the waist, and even Maga was powerless to save him unless he killed him and then resurrected him using the Impure World Reincarnation and his own Reincarnation... However, while he couldn't save him, he could prolong the person's lifespan, at least enough time for him to interrogate him for information.

"Is this the seal for severing the root of the tongue bend?"
