Chapter 213
Seeing this, Tenten didn't hesitate and threw out countless more ninja tools, but it had no effect.
"Rock Lee! Go support them!"
At this moment, Might Guy spoke up.
Don't think that Might Guy was busy fighting that group of ghost beasts; he had been keeping an eye on Neji's side the entire time.
Before, he trusted Neji to be able to handle whatever trouble he encountered.
He only needed to fight passionately right here!
But now it seemed the enemy's strength was quite impressive.
They had actually prepared such an expert.
Rock Lee was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then turned his gaze toward the ninja and the tornado.
"I understand, Guy-sensei!"
After answering, Rock Lee leaped directly in front of the ninja.
In the distance, Tenten felt a bit speechless.
"Lee, deal with the tornado first!"
Tenten shouted; the ninja wasn't the main problem right now.
Even if they killed the ninja, the tornado would still destroy the carriage, and wouldn't their mission fail then?
Rock Lee was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then immediately realized.
"Oh right, I have to protect the carriage!"
"Want to leave? Did Itachi ask me first?"
The ninja was stunned when he saw Rock Lee, then felt furious after being ignored by the other party.
This guy was too much; he actually ignored him.
Thus, the ninja swung his kunai and stabbed at Rock Lee.
But Rock Lee's speed was simply too fast; just as the ninja swung the kunai, Rock Lee kicked out.
Seeing this, the ninja's pupils shrank sharply; he could feel a terrifying threat from this kick.
Moreover, the speed of this kick was so fast that he couldn't dodge it at all!
Thus, the ninja raised his hands in front of him, trying to block.
With a bang, the ninja was sent flying backward.
Then Rock Lee said:
"I'm sorry, I have to protect the carriage and cannot fight Itachi first."
Afterward, Rock Lee went straight to the front of the tornado.
"To destroy the tornado, Itachi have to go inside, find the key point, and then attack it to destroy it.
My Gentle Fist won't be able to be used once I'm inside because of the tornado.
Try using Morning Peacock!"
Neji shouted loudly. Rock Lee's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he charged straight in.
"So that's it! It's that simple to solve this tornado!"
When Rock Lee rushed in, the tornado became faster and more violent.
However, for Rock Lee, it was no problem at all.
Soon, Rock Lee arrived at the so-called key point.
"Morning Peacock!"
Following that, Rock Lee continuously swung his fists, and one after another, red fireball-like things were launched out by him.
In fact, there was one point Neji hadn't mentioned.
That was that Gentle Fist is used on the human body; using it inside a tornado wouldn't have much effect.
Rock Lee's Morning Peacock, however, launched high-speed straight punches, and the fireballs were formed by friction with the air.
By using the method of attacking the air, he released fireballs and shockwaves.
This powerful move could completely force the tornado to stop.
Sure enough, the next second, the tornado dissipated under Rock Lee's fierce attack.
Tenten and Neji breathed a sigh of relief, then turned their gaze toward the ninja.
However, it was a pity that the ninja had actually left!
And the ghost beasts in the surroundings also began to retreat.
"Are they giving up?"
Might Guy asked, while Neji used his Byakugan to observe.
"They are retreating. Is it because they realized they couldn't take what was inside the carriage?"
Neji said with some confusion, while Might Guy laughed.
"Perhaps our Team Guy is too strong, and they retreated in the face of difficulty.
Then, let us escort the carriage to the destination!"
They were only half an hour away from the mission objective.
It was basically impossible for any more accidents to happen.
However, quite a few samurai and ninjas had sacrificed themselves in the battle just now.
And in a place they didn't know, that ninja was talking to a ghost.
"My lord, we didn't find the statue; that must have been a diversion!"
"Hmph, I didn't expect them to spend so much money to hire so many helpers, only for it to be a 'luring the tiger away from the mountain' tactic.
Regardless, we must find the statue and release him!
He is the true ghost! Once he is released, Itachi will be the Kage of a village..."
"Ah, why haven't my injuries healed yet? I want to complete the mission too! They say it's a mission beyond S-rank!"
In the Hidden Leaf Hospital, Naruto said unhappily. Whenever he thought about Rock Lee and the others being able to carry out missions while he could only lie in the hospital, he felt annoyed.
Beside him, Kakashi was flipping through his favorite book, completely ignoring Naruto.
As for that guy Sasuke, he was staring at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.
And outside the hospital, a man appeared out of thin air.
It was Obito!
"Obito-chan, if Itachi want to kill them, now is a good opportunity.
They are all seriously injured and lying in the hospital, unable to move."
Black Zetsu crawled out from a nearby tree and said in a seductive tone, but who knew Obito just shook his head.
He had come just to take a look at Kakashi; he had heard earlier that Kakashi was almost finished off.
Now it seemed Kakashi didn't have any major problems, just that he had to be hospitalized.
Afterward, Obito prepared to leave.
After all, in his heart, he hadn't completely made up his mind to kill Kakashi.
Every time it seemed he was going to kill the other party, he held back.
After all, no matter what, Kakashi was once his most important partner.
Moreover, the current Kakashi really couldn't stop him from resurrecting Rin.
Rather than killing Kakashi, it was better to let him live in such pain!
He could feel that Kakashi's heart held self-reproach, sadness, and many negative emotions.
"Ya ya ya, what a pity; this was clearly a very good opportunity..."
Black Zetsu smacked his lips and said with some regret, then prepared to leave with Obito.
However, at this moment, Black Zetsu noticed Naruto and Sasuke.
Perhaps he could manipulate Danzo to kill them?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, so Black Zetsu directly manipulated Danzo to rush toward the Hidden Leaf Hospital.
It would only take half a day to arrive!
Half a day passed quickly, and under Black Zetsu's manipulation, Danzo soon arrived at the Hidden Leaf Village.
Looking at the Hidden Leaf Village before him, the corners of Danzo's mouth rose slightly, and then he easily snuck in.
