Chapter 825 Chapter 73 Obito's Determination

White Zetsu, a strange creature cultivated by Hashirama's cells.

This thing not only has extremely strong concealment and camouflage capabilities, but can also split and replicate, and its number is almost everywhere in the ninja world.

It is precisely because of these white Zetsu that Uchiha Obito has built an unparalleled intelligence network. With this advantage, he knows almost everything about the dynamics of the major ninja villages.

If the entire ninja world is a huge chessboard, then the other party is the chess player on the chessboard. The despair and unwillingness of the reality once drove the other party to embark on this lonely and extreme road.

Although most of the comments about the other party are ridiculing what it means to create a world where only Lin exists, in essence, it is actually the other party's despair for this absurd world.

The other party has witnessed the cruelty of war, witnessed the disappearance of countless lives, and how those ninjas who should have protected peace were corrupted by power and desire. These stimuli, like a sharp knife, are deeply engraved in his heart, making him deeply suspicious and angry about the existing ninja world.

Uchiha Obito wants not only to revive Nohara Rin, but also to change the world in a fundamental sense and bring about a huge change to the world.

In some senses, it is not wrong to regard the other party as an extreme pacifist... maybe?

While thinking about these things in her heart, Mu Qingzhi quietly returned to the snow cave underground.

Uchiha Obito's purpose does not seem to be simple. Although their traces have been exposed under the eyes of White Zetsu again, White Zetsu did not intend to move that time, but just stood there to temporarily play a monitoring role.

After throwing a mental mark on the White Zetsu, she didn't care about it anymore. At least from the current situation, this snowy night should be peaceful.

"What's wrong, did something happen outside?"

Just when Mu Qingzhi released her shadow clone and sat down again, Kakashi's voice suddenly rang in the dark space underground.

In terms of vigilance, Kakashi, who has been through hundreds of battles, is much stronger than Uchiha Itachi and Jia. Although Mu Qingzhi tried to make as little noise as possible when she left, she still woke the other party up from his deep sleep.

"It's okay, just a little noise, it's been solved."

While responding in her mouth, after thinking for a while, Mu Qingzhi snapped her fingers.

The next moment, with the movement of her hands, a ray of blazing flame ignited from her fingertips, dispelling the darkness in this underground space.

As she guessed, Kakashi had not only stood up, but also prepared for battle. However, the other party was already injured. Although Jia had bandaged him, it was simply a fantasy to want to recover in such a short time.

With the other party's movements, his wound had split again, and blood stained the white gauze red.

"... Let me bandage you."

Looking at the blood oozing from Kakashi's wound, Mu Qingzhi shook her head slightly.

Without waiting for the other party to respond, she waved her hand to throw the flame on her fingertips to the side as a torch for lighting, picked up the medical bag beside her, stood up and sat next to Kakashi.

Thanks to Uchiha Itachi, the supplies they brought this time were quite sufficient, such as medical supplies, and they were not short of them for the time being.

"………"

Looking at the girl who had already sat next to him, Kakashi opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but smelling the inexplicable herbal fragrance coming from the girl, he finally chose to remain silent.

Unconsciously, looking at the girl's focused expression as she lowered her head to bandage her wound, his heartbeat inexplicably accelerated a lot.

Because it was a new wound, the wound dressing change was always painful, and he was ready to endure it, but with the brush of the girl's fingertips, he didn't know whether it was a psychological factor or something else, but he inexplicably felt that the pain was relieved a lot.

On this snowy night, he suddenly felt an unprecedented warmth and peace.

"There is something wrong with this mission. It seems to be a trap specifically targeting us."

In order to avoid his own wild thoughts, Kakashi turned his eyes away and spoke in a low voice.

"Our whereabouts are completely mastered. The warriors of the Iron Country clearly knew in advance which road we were going to take and ambushed there."

"Well... so what?"

While wrapping a new bandage on the other party's wound, Mu Qingzhi echoed and asked.

"It's very simple. I suspect there is a traitor in our team."

Looking at Jia lying in a sleeping bag not far away, Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It is precisely because the traitor exposed our position that we are in this current predicament."

The strangeness of this mission can be seen by even an idiot. It is said to be a seemingly ordinary B-level mission, but in fact it is a deadly trap carefully prepared for them.

And by chance, he has a good suspect here.

... For example, Shimura Danzo.

In the previous graduation examinations, the other side was able to secretly find him and give him that kind of order. It is not impossible that they are specifically spending such a large amount of money to target them now, not to mention that they happen to have Jia, a ninja born in the Root, in their team.

Once the daytime ambush is declared successful, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Zhi, the two most outstanding geniuses in Uchiha, will die here. This is in line with the Uchiha threat theory that Shimura Danzo has always promoted.

As for him...his father, who had the ability to compete for Hokage, could be forced to death by public opinion in the village, let alone him.

——He actually sees many things very clearly.

"Traitor...do you suspect A?"

Following the other person's gaze, Mu Qingzhi's expression looked a little subtle for a moment.

"...Although I don't want to doubt him, I can't rule out this possibility at the moment."

After a brief silence, Kakashi turned to look at her.

"The difficulty level of this mission seriously exceeds the standard. According to regulations, we have the authority to abandon the mission."

"——Wait until tomorrow, and we will retreat and leave the Kingdom of Iron!!"

…………………………………………

Although at the moment, they only have less than one day left before the Iron Kingdom, but after realizing that the mission itself has serious problems, it would be pure suicide to continue to complete the mission.

After all, this is not a mission related to a war or a village, and there is no need for them to risk their lives for it.

Kakashi is still very decisive in this matter.

Early the next morning, while the wind and snow above his head temporarily retreated, Kakashi announced the decision to everyone.

Although it is common for ninjas to encounter an increase in the difficulty of a mission during the execution of the mission, it would be too outrageous to go from the original B-level difficulty to S-level difficulty in one go.

"Abandon the mission and leave the Kingdom of Iron..."

Listening to Kakashi's story, Uchiha Itachi's heart moved slightly.

Psychologically, he was also inclined to the other party's decision, but when he heard what Kakashi said later, his expression changed slightly.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean A and I should retreat first?"

Regardless of Kakashi still talking, he looked up at Kakashi's side, and Uchiha Itachi interrupted him directly.

"It's very simple. The goal for the four of us is too big, especially since I am still injured and have limited mobility."

Very patiently, Kakashi started to explain.

"Also, the enemies we face are the warriors of the Iron Kingdom. They are more familiar with the environment of the Iron Kingdom than we are. If the four of us retreat together, there is more than a 90% chance that we will be attacked by the other party. We are surrounded again, so detachment is the best option.”

As he spoke, Kakashi turned to look at A next to him.

"According to my plan, you two will retreat first, while Zhi and I will stay here to attract firepower for you and give you the opportunity and time to escape. Later, we will meet at the border of the Country of Fire. "

"I'll stay, Zhi and Jia retreated together earlier."

As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, Uchiha Itachi spoke without hesitation.

——Obviously, in the current situation, those who choose to stay are obviously more dangerous.

"After all considerations, it is most appropriate for Zhi to stay."

Turning his head, Kakashi glanced at Itachi Uchiha.

"If she stays, because of her unique illusion, she and I may still have the possibility to escape. But if you stay, you and I will probably not be able to escape from the Iron Kingdom."

"..."

Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi fell silent.

...Although what the other party said was straightforward, the truth was very simple.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to her as long as I'm here."

As if seeing his concerns, Kakashi nodded slightly towards him.

"Even if I risk my life, I will absolutely guarantee her safety. You don't have to worry about this."

"……I see."

After some silence, Uchiha Itachi nodded.

Although he didn't want to accept this result from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want to leave Zhi in a dangerous place, but there were some things that he just didn't want to do.

"The wind and snow outside have stopped, we can set off."

At this moment, Zhi stuck his head out from the hole.

"How about it? You guys should have discussed it?"

"It's all agreed upon, let's go."

Nodding slightly to the girl, Kakashi stood up from the ground.

This plan was discussed between him and the other party yesterday.

Although on the surface, they who are responsible for attracting the enemy's attention from the rear have to bear more risks, but if his speculation about the traitor in the team is true, the person who bears the greater risks is Uchiha Itachi.

——No one can say for sure about this kind of thing.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me, but you should be more careful."

Looking at Uchiha Itachi and A in front of them, Mu Qingzhi gave them a thumbs up before parting.

"We'll see you again when the time comes."

"..."

Looking at the figure in front of him, Uchiha Itachi didn't reply, but nodded silently.

…………………………………………

"Have we separated into teams... As expected."

Just when the two teams on Mu Qingzhi's side were separated and acting separately, somewhere in the snowy field, listening to Bai Jue's report in front of him, Uchiha Obito sneered in his mouth.

Others don't matter. He can spare Kakashi's life, but that Uchiha Zhi must die, and it's better to die in front of Kakashi, just like Lin died in front of him.

If the situation of the detachment deviates from what he expected, he will have to spend more time, but this kind of detachment saves him a lot of effort.

"Notify those people to report the address and whereabouts of Kakashi and the other two. I don't care about the process, I only care about the result. In the end, I want to see them appear here."

As his thoughts and thoughts surged rapidly, Obito looked down at the White Zetsu in front of him.

"As for the other evacuated team, it doesn't matter. Since Kakashi wants to cover them, let's do as he wishes."

Without saying much, after nodding slightly at him, the figure of the White Zetsu slowly sank into the ground.

But just when this White Zetsu left, another voice that sounded a little weird sounded.

"Um... Oh, Obito, are you really going to kill that member of your clan?"

"What, is there a problem?"

Listening to the words of Ah Fei, Obito frowned unconsciously.

"But that girl is a rare genius. According to the information we have learned, she opened her eyes at the age of four and graduated from the Ninja School in just one year. The key is that she has a very good reputation in Konoha. Isn't it a pity to kill her like this?"

"A pity? I don't think so. Geniuses always die young."

Standing high on the edge of the cliff, Uchiha Obito's words were full of cold meaning.

"In my opinion, there are still too many Uchiha people. If you want to blame someone, blame her for being linked to Kakashi."

When he said this, it seemed that he thought of something, and a hint of coldness flashed across Uchiha Obito's eyes.

"Also, for this kind of uncontrollable genius, it should be nipped in the bud as early as possible."

Each Mangekyō has different abilities, and no one knows what kind of Mangekyō abilities will be born.

It is precisely because of his personal experience that no one knows better than him how great the potential of Uchiha is. Once a certain Uchiha opens the Mangekyō Sharingan, the opponent's strength will become extremely terrifying and become the biggest uncontrollable factor in his plan.

——In fact, this uncontrollable factor has already been born on the battlefield.
