"I never imagined that the Third Hokage and Minato Namikaze would actually agree to such a thing..."

Hiashi Hyuga muttered to himself.

The image of that man unconsciously surfaced in my mind.

I have gained a new understanding of Uchiha Ryosuke's abilities.

"Perhaps they took all aspects into consideration. After all, if the opponent is the Uchiha, they have to think about the entire Hidden Leaf Village..."

Yamanaka Inoichi chimed in.

"In short, all senior executives have reached a consensus, and the matter is settled. There is no need for any further thoughts."

"Let's just go with the flow and cooperate with the Uchiha clan as much as possible to avoid causing more harm to Konoha."

"After all... this war has already caused serious damage to our village."

Nara Shikaku's tone became very heavy as he spoke.

The war had just ended, and many families were still grieving the loss of their loved ones.

Nobody wants a major incident to happen at a time like this.

"Let's split up and inform the other ninjas."

Inuzuka Tsuru suggested.

Konoha Village is very large, and it would be time-consuming and laborious for just a few people to spread the news throughout the entire village.

At this moment, Hyuga Hizashi said, "As far as I know, there are still quite a few ninjas who have not returned to the village."

"There's no need to worry about that. The intelligence department has already started compiling the list. If they come back, someone will be specifically assigned to contact and communicate with them."

Nara Shikaku said.

Everyone knew in their hearts that the order to end the war had reached the front lines, and those who were supposed to return had already mostly returned.

Those who haven't been seen yet have most likely already fallen on the battlefield.

Therefore, there is not much need to consider them.

Soon everyone split up and began their work.

In Konoha, the situation has changed without the vast majority of villagers being aware of it.

Chapter 65 The Strongest in Konoha! Him?! Nohara Rin!

Meanwhile, on the battlefield...

Kakashi originally planned to take Nohara Rin back to Konoha.

At this moment, they are in a difficult situation of fighting alone.

Because of their carelessness, Nohara Rin was captured by enemy ninjas.

Following the trail, Kakashi discovered that the enemy was an Anbu ninja from Kirigakure.

He ventured deep into enemy territory alone, disregarding his own safety, intending to rescue Nohara Rin before returning to Konoha together.

Today, he has arrived at a forest on the eastern border of the Land of Fire.

Kakashi was preparing to examine the clues on the ground to further track the enemy's location.

But just then, a rustling sound came from the woods.

He looked up and saw a familiar figure running towards him in a panic.

"Lin!"

Upon recognizing that it was indeed his teammate, Nohara Rin, Kakashi's pupils contracted slightly.

After observing with his Sharingan and confirming that this was not an enemy using a transformation jutsu to impersonate his teammate, Kakashi lowered his guard by half.

"Kakashi..."

"Get out of here right now!!"

Nohara Rin's expression was panicked and pained, even tinged with a little despair.

She loudly reminded Kakashi, but Kakashi didn't notice the unusual tone in her voice.

They simply assumed that Nohara Rin was worried about the pursuers behind her.

So there was no time to ask or think, and they quickly went over and grabbed Nohara Rin's hand to prepare to retreat.

But the next second, he felt resistance coming from Rin Nohara's palm.

Turning back to look at Rin Nohara in astonishment, Kakashi finally saw the despair in her eyes.

"Hurry up, Kakashi!"

"They sealed the Tailed Beast within me, and I'm about to lose control of this power..."

Nohara Rin, with tears streaming down her face, recounted her ordeal after being captured by the enemy.

"what?"

Kakashi trembled, his whole body frozen as if struck by lightning.

She stood there, stunned, watching Nohara "840" Rin slowly back away step by step.

"A tailed beast is sealed inside Rin's body?"

This sudden news left Kakashi completely stunned, his head buzzing.

Kakashi was struck dumb, frozen in place.

But the situation didn't allow him to think too much, nor did it give him much time to daydream.

In the brief moment that Kakashi was stunned, a large number of enemies came chasing after him from all directions.

Seeing this, Kakashi immediately came to his senses and, without thinking too much, jumped over, grabbed Nohara Rin's hand, and retreated back the way they came.

"Lin, what exactly happened?"

Kakashi asked as he pulled her along to speed up their escape.

As he spoke, two kunai flew toward him and Nohara Rin respectively.

"They sealed the Three-Tails inside my body... Kakashi."

"Go on your own, don't worry about me!"

Rin Nohara, who came from a medical ninja background, may not know what it means to have a tailed beast sealed inside her and to become a jinchūriki.

But she was certain that the tailed beasts were incredibly destructive.

If the tailed beast inside you goes out of control.

So, not only is he doomed to die, but Kakashi certainly won't survive either.

She didn't want Kakashi to die here.

"Don't talk, Lin."

"Now control the chakra within your body and try not to use it. Leave the rest to me."

After listening to Rin Nohara's words, Kakashi's mind raced, and he had already considered many questions.

He quickly calmed down and decided to kill the pursuers here first, and then deal with the tailed beast inside Nohara Rin slowly.

After saying that, he turned around, ready to fight the enemy.

It was at this moment that the Hidden Mist Village's Anbu caught up and surrounded them.

Instantly, a large number of kunai flew towards him and Nohara Rin.

At the same time, thick fog began to spread around, gradually obscuring the enemy's figure.

Kakashi was struggling to withstand the onslaught of kunai while facing multiple opponents.

Not only do they have to take care of themselves, but they also have to take care of Nohara Rin.

Soon, a thick fog enveloped the entire forest.

Strangely, after launching a probing attack, the enemy did not continue their offensive, as if they had completely vanished.

Kakashi remained on guard for a while, then began to realize something was wrong.

"What's going on? They don't seem to be trying to kill us..."

He had some doubts, but Kakashi didn't have time to think about it.

He turned around and pulled Nohara Rin along as they continued to retreat towards the village.

Survival is the most important thing.

When Kakashi's palm touched Nohara Rin's hand, he suddenly sensed an astonishing amount of chakra slowly being released from her palm.

The intense shock sent a jolt through Kakashi's body.

"Lin, you...?"

"It's trying to control my body, Kakashi... I can't control its power at all."

"I feel like things are about to get out of control..."

Nohara Rin said with pain and difficulty.

At that moment, several more kunai flew over from the unseen depths of the thick fog.

After Kakashi withstood their attacks, he noticed that the enemy did not continue their pursuit.

At that moment, he began to vaguely realize the enemy's intentions.

"It seems like they were deliberately forcing us to run away... without actually killing us."

Kakashi said in a deep voice.

"Could it be that they intend to..."

Nohara Rin looked down at her body.

A terrible thought quickly surfaced in my mind.

Kakashi also realized this possibility. He frowned, turned around, and stood with his sword drawn, intending to kill all the enemies here.

"Don't overthink it, Lin."

"Once I've dealt with them all and brought you back to the village, I'm sure I'll find a solution!"

"The Third Hokage will definitely find a way to remove this tailed beast from your body!"

Kakashi steadfastly encouraged Rin Nohara.

But even he himself might not believe these words.

Although Nohara Rin had never been a Jinchūriki, she had heard of and learned about Tailed Beasts and Jinchūriki.

Upon hearing this, she gave a painful and sorrowful smile.

"Once the Tailed Beast is extracted from the Jinchuriki's body, the Jinchuriki will die, right?"

"But if we don't do this, the Three-Tails will lose control when I return to Konoha. At that time, the Tailed Beast going berserk will bring huge trouble to the village, or even a devastating disaster."

"This is their goal, isn't it, Kakashi..."

Upon hearing Rin Nohara reveal the truth, Kakashi was stunned and stood there speechless.

At that moment, another large swarm of kunai was shot at.

The Hidden Mist ninjas who were chasing them still deliberately avoided vital points.

The intention to force them to flee all the way back to Konoha was utterly obvious.

This further confirmed Kakashi's suspicions.

Nohara Rin is absolutely right.

The enemy's goal is to use the Three-Tails that is about to go berserk within her to attack Konoha.

If they escape back to Konoha now, they will be playing right into the enemy's hands.

However, if he doesn't return to the village for help, he certainly won't be able to control the Three-Tails on his own.

In short, it seems that Nohara Rin is doomed to die this time.
