at the same time.
The encirclement to the north.
A rock ninja is running wildly through the mud.
"Whoosh—"
His lungs heaved violently, his breath straining his throat and carrying a strong, metallic smell of blood.
The flashing golden nightmare in his mind made him lose even the courage to turn back.
A dense forest came into view ahead.
Once you rush through, you can blend into the shadows and escape completely.
A flicker of ecstatic joy at surviving had just appeared on his face.
The ground ahead suddenly collapsed without warning, and the accumulated water formed a violently swirling vortex.
"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall."
boom!
A two-meter-high, extremely solid high-pressure water wall rose from the ground.
The immense impact slammed directly into the Iwa ninja's chest, sending him flying through the air and crashing heavily into the thick tree trunk.
Yahiko was already standing atop the water wall without anyone noticing.
His short orange hair was strikingly bright, and he wore a cold smile.
"Where would you like to go, sir?"
The Iwa ninja roared in despair, intending to squeeze out the last bit of chakra in his body and try to form hand seals to use Earth Release to break through.
next second.
His hands, which were forming a hand seal, were abruptly stuck in mid-air, and the bones made a cracking sound as they were subjected to the unbearable pressure.
In the darkness of the distance, Nagato's gaze pierced through the obstruction of the leaves.
He didn't even raise his hand.
It only released a very small area of precisely controlled wind pressure.
The immense pressure of gravity pinned the rock ninja firmly to the mud.
Yahiko leaped off the water wall.
The kunai in his hand drew a semicircle without any hesitation.
A splash of scarlet was splashed into the rain and instantly washed away.
Sheathed his sword and stood up.
……
On the south side of the battlefield, three other Iwa ninja who had broken through were also trapped in a deadly situation.
Just as the Iwa ninja running in the lead was about to cross a fallen, dead tree, his body suddenly froze inexplicably.
A thin, black, constantly twisting shadow was clinging to him, biting his heel tightly.
"Honestly, they even chose such a stupid escape route. This is too much trouble..."
Nara Shikaku slowly emerged from behind a giant tree that required two people to encircle it.
His hands remained in a mudra position, his eyes languid.
"The shadow imitation technique was a success."
"Leave it to me."
Yamanaka Inoichi's voice came from above and to the side.
He stood on the tree trunk, his index finger and thumb forming a triangle, and precisely caught another Iwa ninja.
"The Art of Mind Transference!"
Immediately afterwards, he lowered his head, pulled out the kunai in an extremely awkward posture, and plunged it into the heart of his controlled companion without hesitation.
"Are you crazy?!"
The last surviving Iwa ninja watched his comrades killing each other, and his mind went blank for a brief moment.
The ground began to tremble violently.
The puddles were jolted upwards, and the treetops overhead rustled mournfully.
A huge ball of flesh, with the force to crush everything, rolled out of the depths of the dense forest.
"Human Bomber!"
Akimichi Choza ran directly over the two Iwa ninja.
Dirt flew everywhere, and trees broke.
A wide trench, half a meter deep and smelling of burning, appeared on the ground.
Everything returned to calm.
……
The damp woods were filled with the earthy smell and a faint stench of blood.
Traces of battle are everywhere.
Minato Namikaze slowly landed beside Obito and Rin.
He glanced at Obito, who was receiving treatment and whose face was filled with resentment and shame, and then at Kakashi, who was silently wiping the blade beside him as if nothing had happened.
The atmosphere became somewhat heavy for a moment.
Obito lowered his head, not daring to look at his teacher's face.
He messed it up.
I thought I would be met with a severe reprimand.
However, a warm hand gently landed on his head.
Obito suddenly raised his head.
Minato Namikaze was smiling at him, his deep blue eyes filled with no reproach, only his usual gentleness and encouragement.
"Obito,"
The sound of the water gate was very soft, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly.
"You did a great job."
Obito was completely stunned.
What did he do? He just recklessly rushed in, got knocked down, and lay on the ground like a piece of trash, watching his teacher and classmates fight.
This... is considered good?
"The desire to contribute more of one's strength and protect one's comrades is the first step to becoming a powerful ninja."
Minato's smile deepened. "You just need to learn how to better utilize this power."
The words fell.
Warm liquid slid down from under the goggles, mixed with rainwater, and dripped into the soil.
He wiped his face haphazardly with the back of his hand, sniffed, and replied loudly in a voice thick with nasal tone yet trying to sound strong, "Yes, teacher!"
Kakashi turned his head away and looked elsewhere, seemingly uninterested in this heartwarming scene of teacher-student affection.
However, his hand, which had been tightly gripping the hilt of the knife, unconsciously relaxed.
Minato stood up and looked around at the chaotic battlefield.
"alright,"
He clapped his hands, breaking the brief moment of warmth, "Let's start cleaning up the battlefield."
He took a clean trident kunai from his ninja tool bag and handed it to Obito, who was now able to stand up with difficulty.
"Let's go, we still have work to do."
Obito stared at the kunai that shimmered faintly in the sunlight, paused for a moment, and then nodded heavily.
He reached out and took the kunai.
The cold metallic touch seemed to carry a burning power that traveled from the palm all the way to the heart.
