Chapter 824 Obito and White Zetsu

Although Kakashi originally planned to get to the Iron Country as soon as possible before dark today, the harshness of the environment here was still beyond his imagination.

Even though they were not afraid of the severe cold with the help of Zhi's living ninjutsu, the snow and wind in the sky seriously hindered their journey.

Thick black lead clouds hang low in the sky, as if they will pour down at any time. Snowflakes are like tiny ice blades, flying freely in the cold wind. They cut every inch of air and make a thin and sharp sound.

In this knee-deep snow, every step forward was quite difficult, and what made things even worse was that an unexpected ambush was expected.

According to Kakashi's estimation, even if this mission would encounter trouble along the way, it would probably be some bandits who want to rob. There would be a few genin among them, and the upper limit would only be chuunin level.

But now, looking at the figures jumping out of the snowdrifts around him, Kakashi suddenly felt his heartbeat speeding up several points.

Although these people were all masked, just from the previous ambush situation of the other party, it was obvious that these people were well-trained and were not ordinary bandits, but all ninjas.

There were several figures among them, and their auras were even similar to his.

...It was just a B-level mission, but three jounin, seven or eight chuunin, and ten genin appeared?

Unconsciously, Kakashi felt absurd in his heart.

This configuration is already the configuration of an extremely elite team when placed on the battlefield, but it appears in a mere B-level mission?

...Is he crazy, or is the world crazy? ?

What made his heart sink to the bottom even more was that although the opponent clearly had such a huge advantage in numbers and combat power, they did not rush forward. Instead, they slowly formed a circle around them. Judging from the posture, it was clear that they were surrounded by enemies. We must catch them all in one fell swoop and deny them any chance of escape.

"Everyone is on alert and ready for battle."

Looking at the enemies approaching in silence around him, he took a deep breath in his mouth, and while reaching out to take out the kunai from his waist, Kakashi, who had already revealed his Sharingan from the beginning, spoke in a low voice.

"Don't be obsessed with fighting. I will create opportunities for you in the battle later. You don't care about me. Instead, try your best to escape from the encirclement and then find an opportunity to meet up. We..."

The snow and wind in the sky swallowed up the unfinished words in Kakashi's mouth.

When the surrounding figures approached a certain distance from them, they changed their previous situation. While reaching out and pulling out the long knives from their waists, they rushed towards them with an astonishing speed in an instant.

Compared to them who trudged through knee-deep snow, these people were obviously more familiar with the environment here. The snow could not stop their footsteps at all, but instead became a weapon to protect their figures.

"Cooperation in this environment...the warriors in the Iron Kingdom?"

While thoughts were racing in his mind, the Sharingan in Kakashi's left eye had already locked onto the three strongest warriors.

"Thunder Release Chidori!!"

With a deafening thunder, Kakashi's body flashed, and his entire body turned into a blue lightning, which cut straight towards the three people.

But the reaction speed of the three people was also extremely fast. While they were avoiding by a hair's breadth, a samurai sword with a faint blue light slashed straight towards his face.

Although the blade did not reach it, the flying snowflakes in the air were cut into pieces, bringing endless chill.

Unlike ninjas, although the unique samurai in the Iron Kingdom are not good at using ninjutsu, they can flexibly attach chakra to the katana sword, making the blade sharper and the attack more deadly.

If he were to face only one opponent, Kakashi would be confident enough to defeat or even kill him, but now he was facing three samurai who were no less powerful than him and who cooperated tacitly.

These warriors do not fight independently, but have a very high degree of tacit understanding and cooperation. The battle between them is like a carefully choreographed dance, and every movement is just right.

In almost a few seconds, he fell into a dangerous situation. If it weren't for his family's inherited Hatake swordsmanship, which gave him certain attainments in swordsmanship, he might have been defeated by now. .

Turning his eyes to the chaotic battle situation behind him, Kakashi no longer hesitated. After forcing the three of them to retreat temporarily with a blow that would hurt both sides, he quickly turned around and rushed to the rear.

Although the three of them are quite strong, they are facing opponents several times their own. In addition, the opponents are more familiar with the terrain and environment, so they are now in a tough battle, relying on a wide range of ninjutsu to block those around them. The approach of the samurai.

But this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Whether it is physical strength or chakra, they cannot persist for long.

...The top priority is to find a way to break out! !

With the help of the few seconds he had temporarily gained, while still in mid-air, he bit the kunai in his hand, and Kakashi quickly formed hand seals on his hands. Dozens of complicated hand seals were actually completed in just a short time. Quickly takes shape in seconds.

"Earth Escape Multiple Earth Current Walls!!"

Along with the low drink from Kakashi's mouth, several huge earth walls rose from the snow, blocking the sight of the surrounding warriors.

Taking advantage of the few seconds when the other party's vision was blocked, several figures broke through the snow and wind in the blue-purple electric light, and then plunged into the depths of the distant snowfield.

"Chase, don't let anyone escape."

Looking at the blood spilled on the snow, a trace of cold light flashed in the eyes of the leader, and he waved his hand without hesitation to give orders.

Soon, with the departure of all these warriors, the snowfield returned to the initial silence, with only gusts of cold wind whistling.

...At this time, the wind and snow became a little stronger.

……………………………………………………

"How is it, how is Kakashi's injury?"

After confirming that the people above had gone far away, Mu Qingzhi retreated to the temporary snow cave dug underground and asked Uchiha Itachi who came to greet him.

They did not leave the place at all, but dug a temporary snow cave under the snow more than one meter thick in the few seconds that Kakashi bought for them.

As for the figures who escaped and broke through, it was the situation created by the shadow clones and transformation techniques created by Mu Qingzhi. Even the shadow clones and transformation techniques could not be seen through by the shadow-level strongmen for a while, let alone these Iron Country warriors who were not good at ninjutsu. The blizzard environment with extremely poor visibility gave them enough convenience.

"The injury is not too serious, Jia is helping to bandage it."

With a slightly solemn face, Uchiha Itachi nodded.

Kakashi was inevitably injured despite covering their breakout with his own strength. The chakra swords of those warriors were extremely sharp. The only fate of ordinary ninja tools that came into contact with their long swords was to be cut in half by them.

In order to cover them, Kakashi didn't have time to avoid the combined attack of the three samurai who had reached the level of jonin, and just barely avoided the vital points.

"... Keep digging the pit, our place to stay tonight is here."

Looking up, Mu Qingzhi shook her head slightly.

In the world of Naruto, except for a few exceptions, basically all are glass cannons. Even as strong as Uchiha Madara, he can be attacked from behind and killed, let alone Kakashi.

Although she thought that there might be accidents in this mission, she didn't expect this to happen. Let's not talk about how the samurai who ambushed and besieged them accurately grasped their route. It was just a B-level mission. Is it necessary to dispatch so many people?

This is like in modern society, someone dispatched dozens of brothers to rob an innocent passerby with great fanfare. It was completely anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes... Could it be Danzo again?

Looking at Jia who was bandaging Kakashi's wound, Mu Qingzhi looked thoughtful.

In Naruto, no matter what happened, it was directly attributed to Danzo, and it was absolutely close.

And coincidentally, the current conditions were met, Jia in the team completely met the position of a traitor, and the possibility that the other party used the time to go to the toilet to pass on information to the outside could not be ruled out.

... Maybe?

But if it was Danzo, what was the point of constantly catching Kakashi to attack? The other party had no grudge against Kakashi, so was it necessary to make such a big move just to kill him?

She saw the previous battle very clearly, those warriors of the Iron Country clearly caught Kakashi and attacked him alone. Except for the three warriors who were at the level of Jonin, the others clearly wanted to use the three of them to contain the other party. This can be seen from the battle of the remaining people. They did not try their best at all, otherwise she, Itachi and Jia would not have resisted so easily.

After all, this ambush was a bit over the top, and it was a bit like killing a chicken with a butcher knife.

...It couldn't be that Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others saw that Kakashi had the potential to open the eyes of Uchiha painlessly on a large scale and were ready to kill him in the cradle in advance?

Although she did have this idea, she hadn't actually put it into action yet...

Holding her hands, Mu Qingzhi looked tangled.

…………………………………………

Originally, such a hasty camping in such a harsh environment could cause secondary casualties. The extreme cold and snow could easily kill a ninja.

However, under the effect of Mu Qingzhi's life ninjutsu, these seemed harmless. After using earth escape to reinforce the small nest under the snow, the wind and snow on the ground were completely isolated.

Although the cold wind was howling outside, in this snow cave under the snow, it was calm.

Because Kakashi was seriously injured, the three of them took turns to keep watch tonight, and Mu Qingzhi volunteered to keep watch for the first half of the night.

Keeping watch is actually a very boring thing. Mu Qingzhi originally planned to use this time to conceive the content of the new volume of her book - after all, the editor has been urging Teacher Xia Mi for a long time, but at a certain moment, the expression on her face moved slightly.

After looking at the three people sleeping beside her, Mu Qingzhi stood up from the ground quietly.

However, before leaving, after a moment of hesitation, she still left a shadow clone of herself there.

A few minutes later, looking at the strange figure below, almost half of the figure was buried in the snow, and the expression on Mu Qingzhi's face could not help but look a little subtle.

"This thing is... Bai Jue?"

Taking advantage of the cover of the blizzard and night to look at this Bai Jue, Mu Qingzhi had a strange look on his face.

...She seemed to know how their whereabouts were leaked.

It was just a B-level mission, how could it involve Bai Zetsu again... Could it be because of Uchiha Itachi?

Could it be that as early as this time, Uchiha Obito had actually planned to instigate Uchiha Itachi to commit genocide?

Holding her hands, Mu Qingzhi pondered in her heart.

If Obito was behind this incident, then it would make sense that those samurai wanted to kill Kakashi. After all, Obito has always been true love for Kakashi...

But then again, at this point in time when the Akatsuki organization has not yet officially formed, Obito can't wait to pull off such a little trick... Where did this guy get the stimulus?

Uchiha Obito is a typical representative of the dark side of Naruto.

Before turning black, the other party was a cheerful and silly boy, or a passionate young man who liked Nohara Rin. At the last moment of his life, he entrusted his Sharingan to his best friend Kakashi.

If his life could end like this, it would be quite perfect, but unfortunately he was chosen by Madara Uchiha to be the agent of his plan, who forcefully pulled him back from the door of hell, and single-handedly planned Nohara's plan. Lin died at the hands of Kakashi, and Obito, who was full of hope and wanted to go back and reunite with his teammates, witnessed that desperate scene.

...Thus, the first black representative in history was born.

Under the planning of Uchiha Madara, who was about to grow old and die, Uchiha Obito opened the kaleidoscope in anger, and in order to create a world where Lin existed, he went on the road to darkness and never returned.

Originally, Mu Qingzhi thought that he would wait until the Xiaotian Group was fully announced before the other party would officially show up. However, he did not expect that now, the other party had already revealed his figure...

Looking at Bai Jue below who was concentrating on investigating the intelligence, after thinking for a moment, Mu Qingzhi did not choose to alarm the other party, but quietly turned back along the original route.

——She suddenly had an excellent way to deal with this matter.
