Chapter 286 Pursuit of the Daimyo's Son
Seeing Kyosuke teasing him, Obito snorted and continued carving with great effort.
As Obito continued carving, the piece of wood became increasingly twisted, its surface becoming uneven, making it impossible to discern the shape of a mask.
Kyosuke glanced at it, grinned in disgust, and then teased, "You should stick with Chunin. Do you want to become a Jonin? I can pull some strings for you."
Obito stopped carving, tossed the carving knife and wood aside, and looked at Kyosuke strangely, asking, "Is something wrong with you? You keep saying nonsensical things."
It seems Obito has really grown up. Although he's still a bit clueless, at least he's not so loud and boisterous anymore.
Obito already possesses a three-tomoe Sharingan, and if he sacrifices Rin in the future, he can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. His strength is definitely not an issue.
Kyosuke mentally assessed the situation, his smile fading as he adopted a serious expression. He said to Obito, "Obito, the Hokage has asked me to form the Hokage's Direct Guard. I think you're a good fit, and I hope you can join."
After thinking about Obito's character, Kyosuke added, "After becoming a member of the guard, you can get close to the Hokage and learn how to be a Hokage. This will reduce some of your disadvantages when you compete with me for the Hokage position in the future."
"The Hokage."
Obito muttered something to himself, then stood up and said in a spirited voice, "That's right, I'm going to become Hokage someday! Kyosuke, I'm in!"
OK.
Once Kakashi returns and recruits him, the team will be complete.
Kyosuke smiled with satisfaction.
That night, Chisuke sneaked into the Land of Fire and arrived at the outskirts of a town.
Shinya Ooka arrived in the Land of Fire, near Sensuke, but the two did not meet, mainly to prevent information from being leaked to Shukaku inside Sensuke's body.
In the past two days, they have already discussed their tactics in their dreams.
Inside the town, the son of the daimyo of the Land of Wind was discussing matters concerning the Land of Wind with his confidants.
Some time ago, he visited a nobleman in the Land of Fire by marriage. After finishing his business, he was on his way back home when he received news of his father's death just as he arrived in this town.
After learning that the Sand Village was in the midst of a fierce internal conflict, the daimyo's son felt it was not safe to return home at that time, so he stopped here.
On one hand, he sent people back to China to gather information, and on the other hand, he discussed with his confidants what to do.
For his own safety, the daimyo's son also hired Konoha ninja to strengthen his defenses.
Currently, the guards of the Daimyo's son include people he trained himself, as well as Sand Ninja sent by the Third Kazekage and newly arrived Konoha Ninja. Everyone knows that the situation is not good, so they are on high alert.
Among the Konoha ninjas is Kakashi.
As planned, Ooka Shin and Chisuke would work in the open and in the shadows, with Ooka Shin launching an attack to draw the enemy's forces while Chisuke secretly infiltrated and captured the target.
At three in the morning, wearing a mask painted with a red centipede, Ooka Shin led a dozen shadow clones into the town and sped toward the high-rise building where the daimyo's son was located.
"Enemy spotted to the due west, rapidly moving in this direction!"
A Hyuga clan ninja immediately spotted Ooka Shin several hundred meters away and notified the others.
Who is the enemy?
Sand Ninja? Stone Ninja? Konoha Ninja? Rogue Ninja?
There are too many suspects; everyone's too lazy to analyze them.
"Everyone be careful, there might be more than one enemy!"
The guard leader was experienced and only sent a small team to intercept Ooka Nobu, while the main force remained in place.
Eight Konoha ninjas, due to their superior strength, were not mobilized.
As Ooka Shin advanced, he soon spotted the enemy ahead.
Seeing that there were only five or six people on the other side, Ooka Shin laughed contemptuously: "So few people, you really look down on me!"
Explosions, flames, flashing blades, and flying projectiles.
In just one minute, Ooka Shin, after losing some shadow clones, eliminated the enemy in front of him.
At this moment, he was only two or three hundred meters away from his target.
Faced with this situation, the guard leader knew that the enemy was not easy to deal with, so he could only grit his teeth and send out his elite troops, leaving only a few people behind to take the daimyo's son and move away.
"Are the enemies this time Sand Ninja and Konoha Ninja? Looks like they're going to be tough nuts to crack."
In this battle, Ooka Shin's shadow clones quickly disappeared, and his main body was also caught in a fierce battle.
A Sand Ninja skilled in Wind Release, and a Konoha Aburame Clan ninja skilled in using insects—both were quite strong. With the help of the others, Ooka Shin was temporarily entangled.
Meanwhile, the daimyo's son escaped the town through the tunnels.
"Your Highness, there is a secret base we have established ahead. You can go there to take refuge temporarily."
The captain of the guard followed beside the daimyo's son, followed by four people: Kakashi, a ninja from the Hyuga clan, and two of the captain's confidants.
All the Sand Ninja were sent to deal with Ooka Shin.
Currently, there is infighting among the Sand Ninja, and the captain is unsure whether these Sand Ninja are reliable, so he is not staying by his side.
In comparison, the possibility of Konoha harming the daimyo's son is lower, so the captain felt that Konoha ninjas were more reliable.
Just as they entered the tunnel entrance, they heard footsteps behind them. The group immediately formed a battle formation, surrounding the daimyo's son in the center.
"Sir, something terrible has happened! The enemy has reinforcements. We can't hold them off. They've already stormed into the tunnels."
Two wounded guards rushed over, shouting in panic.
Seeing that they were his own men, the captain relaxed a little, but then shouted sternly, "Bastards, how dare you desert! Get back to battle!"
At this moment, the two who had rushed over were already in front of everyone. Suddenly, Kakashi and the Hyuga clan ninja attacked.
Kakashi pierced one person's neck with a kunai, while a Hyuga ninja struck another person's heart with Gentle Fist.
"you……"
The captain was taken aback and was about to ask what was wrong when he saw the two men turn into sand.
The Hyuga ninja used his activated Byakugan to look towards the passageway, his expression not looking good.
"The enemy is approaching rapidly. What is this? The enemy has a tailed beast inside them!"
Kakashi's expression changed drastically: "A tailed beast? It's Chisuke Tasaka! We're no match for him! Run!"
The group protected the daimyo's son and fled for their lives. A few minutes later, Chisuke caught up and used sand to attack them.
"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"
Kakashi created a rock wall to block the sand, but the Hyuga ninja immediately turned around: "Oh no!"
Behind them, three streams of sand shot out of the ground like pythons, engulfing the other three.
Unexpectedly, the three of them turned into a cloud of smoke.
"A clone technique? So you were bait!"
Chisuke had no time to waste. With a wave of his hand, countless grains of sand suddenly surged forth, bypassing the rock walls to attack the enemy, while he himself turned and left.
"Rachel!"
Kakashi unleashed a blinding burst of lightning from his right hand, his entire body transforming into a blur as he continuously shattered the sand sea that blocked his path, creating a passage to charge towards Chisuke from behind.
Meanwhile, the Hyuga ninja dodged the sand attacks while keeping a close eye on Sensuke, ready to warn Kakashi if Sensuke set any traps.
"roll!"
Chisuke had no ulterior motives; he simply roared in impatience, and the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch. Sand erupted like a volcano, shooting into the sky within a hundred-meter radius, engulfing Kakashi and the Hyuga ninja.
When everything settled down, the original grassland turned into towering sand dunes. Kakashi struggled to climb out of the dunes and then painstakingly rescued his companions.
As for Chisuke, he has long since disappeared without a trace.
