Chapter 224: An Unexpected Change

"Idiot! How could that be possible? Such a good thing, and it just happened to fall on your head!"

While saying that, Dong Shilang directly paid the bill.

He left this this idiot to Yeyuan Lin.

Seeing this, Dai Tu also didn't think much of it, but instead looked at Yeyuan Lin beside him with a face full of intoxication, completely failing to see the helplessness in her eyes.

"Dai Tu! Lin! There's an urgent mission!"

Just then, a sudden, out-of-place figure appeared with a sound, interrupting Dai Tu's daydream and rescuing the embarrassed Yeyuan Lin.

"What!"

It was hard to get a chance to be with Lin, and he had just been wondering whether to confess directly later or wait until after passing this Chunin exam.

"I never expected that at this crucial moment, that guy Kakashi would interrupt me again—really annoying."

"Don't dilly-dally; a ninja should put the mission first!"

Seeing his companions, after hearing the mission, they were still hemming and hawing, so Kakashi snapped irritably.

"None of your business!"

"A ninja's first duty is to complete the mission!"

"You bastard, want to fight?"

"Ha! What did you say?"

Seeing this, Yeyuan Lin, who had always been by their side, also couldn't help but get a headache. These two guys, whenever they're together, always end up arguing over trivial matters.

"You two, don't let Teacher Shuǐmén wait long!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she directly stepped between them, taking one hand each, gripping their palms, and led the way to their team's rendezvous point.

……

"This is a high-ranking extermination mission: a pair of elite Rock ninja units broke through the Grass Country's defense line and came near the village; the Hokage has ordered us to annihilate or drive them out!"

"Yes!" X3

"Then... let's go!"

After saying that, their teacher led the way into the forest outside the village, beginning to search for the invading enemies.

And his three disciples, at this time, also closely followed behind him.

From Teacher Shuǐmén's solemn expression, Dai Tu knew this mission was extremely urgent, allowing no slack.

"Die, you brat!"

Just as Dai Tu, following behind his teacher, was vigilantly observing the surroundings, a figure split off from a rock behind him and sneaked up to his rear.

Holding a kunai, it stabbed toward his neck!

"It's over!"

When the opponent moved, feeling the evil wind rising behind his head, Dai Tu's hands and feet turned cold, feeling that he really was about to die this time.

"Dai Tu! Dodge quickly!"

"Be careful!"

When he sensed something wrong, his companions Yeyuan Lin and Kakashi also noticed something was off.

Full of anxiety, they seemed to have issued a warning!

But it was already too late!

"Swish!"

A golden-yellow streak of light appeared in Dai Tu's retina at his most dangerous moment.

It blocked in front of him, throwing a punch at the opponent.

"We're saved!"

Before he could even catch his breath, Bōfēng Shuǐmén, who had just attacked the enemy to save him, suddenly changed expression.

"Be careful!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, an explosion sounded from behind Dai Tu.

"Boom!!"

Immediately afterward, his teacher took him away with instant movement, leaving the spot.

"Teacher! Are you okay?"

He still hadn't come to his senses, and the attentive Yeyuan Lin beside him anxiously inquired about their teacher's condition, her face filled with worry.

"Everyone be careful, the enemy is an explosive unit of the Rock ninja; watch out for their explosives!"

Bōfēng Shuǐmén paid no heed to his concerned disciples; instead, he warned them to be careful of the enemy, his face solemn as he looked at the several foes who had just appeared.

"Is Teacher Shuǐmén injured?"

Dai Tu, who was slow to react, finally realized something was wrong with his teacher—the arm that had just attacked the enemy now hung limp.

"It must have been caused by that explosion!"

Before he could recover from the shock of seeing his teacher, the "Yellow Flash," injured by the explosion, a squad of six Rock ninja surrounded them.

"Kakashi! You take the two of them and break out! I'll hold them off!"

The enemy had overwhelming numbers, and he himself was injured; Shuǐmén didn't hesitate, directly ordering Kakashi to take them and break out, while he stayed behind to buy time.

"Yes!"

Kakashi had no hesitation, immediately turning around, preparing to take the two of them and break out.

"I'm not leaving; we should stay and help our teacher!"

Seeing this, Dai Tu was unwilling to just slink away like that; he still wanted to fight side by side with his teacher.

"Dai Tu!" X3

"Now is not the time to show off!"

Faced with his remarks, both Kakashi and Minato teacher changed their expressions at this moment; even Rin, who always indulged him, did not agree with his recklessness.

Faced with opposition from his teacher and teammates, having no other choice, he could only break through with his companions.

"Trying to break through and call for help? Dream on!"

Those few fearsome-looking rock ninjas opposite them certainly wouldn't just watch them break through; before they had even gone far, a trio of rock ninjas came after them.

Their teacher, with his right arm injured, merely blocked one of them and ended up fighting another squad of rock ninjas.

There was simply no way to look after their side!

Faced with the shadow ninjas' encirclement and interception!

Kakashi, taking him and Rin, tried many methods, but couldn't shake off the two pursuers behind them.

"I'll intercept them!"

"Rin! Take Obito and flee quickly! Then go get help!"

Having left Obito with those words, Kakashi, who had been leading the two in flight, turned around and went to meet the pursuers behind him.

"I got it! Kakashi!"

At this moment, Rin acted quite decisively, without wasted words, directly grabbing Obito's hand and continuing to run toward the village.

Suddenly encountering such a change, Obito felt a bit dazed, unable to come to his senses for a while; he could only be led by Rin's hand, mechanically following behind her.

【How could things suddenly turn out like this?】

I was just eating ramen at One Joy Ramen with Dong Shilang big brother and Rin when Kakashi said there was a mission, and I ended up arguing with him.

Then Rin brought the two of us together to meet with the teacher.

After that came the emergency mission: I was ambushed, the teacher got injured saving me, the enemies were numerous, and we fled in panic~

Just a moment ago I was leisurely living in the village—how did things suddenly become like this?

Everything changed too fast!
