Chapter 291: Eye Opening

Just as the Mist Ninja's instructor was preparing to use Shadow Clone Jutsu to meet Minato Namikaze,

In Leaf Village,

"Lin, we can almost break through."

"These remaining dark forces can't possibly stop the two of us."

Just as the enemy's numbers had dwindled to single digits, Uchiha Obito felt it was about time to break through.

Moreover, continuing the fight, both he and Lin found it hard to bear. Especially Lin, who was so exhausted her legs began to tremble.

"Hmm!"

"Go that way!"

She threw a punch, driving back the enemy before her, Yeyuan Lin chose a direction with fewer enemies and rushed that way with Obito.

At this point, Yóunǚ Lóngmǎ basically had no more manpower to stop these two brats trying to break through.

"Phew! We finally escaped!"

As they neared the barrier's edge, Obito looked at Yeyuan Lin fighting beside him and felt very happy.

At least, that guy Kakashi had no experience fighting alongside Lin.

Just as Obito looked at Lin's side profile, thinking about random things, the White Zetsu possessing him exhibited some abnormal behavior.

Of course, everyone present, including Obito, felt nothing.

"Sorry, Obito, I possessed you just for this moment~"

With White Zetsu's inaudible sigh, an abnormal ripple emanated from its body; the target was Yeyuan Lin, who was holding Obito's hand and about to run out of the barrier.

While holding Obito's hand and running ahead, Yeyuan Lin felt her heart violently clench, followed by a sharp pain that shot to her brain.

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Just as Yeyuan Lin neared the barrier's light curtain, preparing to bring Obito across, she suddenly staggered and then used her free hand to cover her mouth and nose.

And as she coughed, mouthfuls of bright red blood began to slowly trickle from the hand covering her mouth and nose.

And her steps also gradually slowed to a stop.

"Lin! What's wrong?"

Due to the angle, Obito, lagging behind by one body length, didn't see Lin vomiting blood, but her gradually stopping steps still let him sense something was wrong.

Before he could realize what was happening, a tremendous force surged from the hand Lin was holding.

In one motion, she threw him out of the barrier.

It turned out that, just now, Yeyuan Lin felt her life slipping away irrevocably, summoned her last strength, and threw Obito out of the barrier.

"At least, let Obito escape."

Clinging to her last belief, after throwing Obito out of the barrier,

Yeyuan Lin instantly lost her balance and collapsed to the ground, but seeing Obito's silhouette vanish into the barrier's light curtain, she had no regrets.

"Lin!!"

Because his vision was blocked, Obito couldn't see Lin's exact condition, but Lin, at this point, had thrown herself outside the barrier while he stopped his steps and didn't catch up.

Even if he were a total idiot, he'd know something was gravely wrong.

After letting out a piercing scream, he disappeared into the barrier.

"What's going on? Why did they stop?"

Leading his subordinates, the doggedly pursuing Yóunǚ Lóngmǎ, upon seeing Yeyuan Lin coughing blood and collapse, was momentarily at a loss.

Nevertheless, this didn't prevent them from surrounding the fallen Yeyuan Lin on the ground.

"Is it the Mist Ninja's puppet talisman acting up?"

"It seems the Mist Ninja still has a spy in the village; otherwise they couldn't control the puppet talisman so precisely!"

After a brief observation, the experienced Yóunǚ Lóngmǎ deduced Lin's condition, and it was very close to the truth.

Just because of her profession, her first thought was that this change was due to a Mist Ninja spy who had discovered Yeyuan Lin—or rather, the puppet talisman—and triggered it, causing Lin to become as she is now.

"Lin!"

Before he could dwell on it further, a shout mixed with bewilderment, panic, and disbelief rang out, and he reappeared inside the barrier.

It was Obito, who had just been sent out of the barrier by Lin.

"This idiot!"

Yeyuan Lin, lying on the ground and continually coughing blood, seeing Obito return, thought helplessly to herself.

She also felt somewhat distressed, not knowing whether these people would silence Obito. As this sorrow rose, a hint of warmth also emerged, making her gradually chilling body seem to gain a bit of warmth.

"It's that guy called Uchiha Obito… kill him!"

"Remember to leave his Sharingan!"

My mission this time has undoubtedly failed; if I could keep his Sharingan, my superior's anger would likely lessen considerably.

My superior's covetousness of the Sharingan is something this subordinate knows all too well.

"Impossible… this kind of thing…"

Just after entering the barrier, Obito spotted Lin's figure. She lay still on the ground, her mouth continuously vomiting blood mixed with entrails; at a glance it was clear her days were numbered.

"This kind of thing… I absolutely… won't accept…"

Now, the White Zetsu that had been wrapped around Obito's body had dispersed, exposing his head, and also revealed was his Sharingan eye, spinning wildly.

"You guys… all deserve to die…"

Like a wounded beast, after letting out a piercing wail, Obito charged at the dark forces surrounding Yeyuan Lin.

Moreover, with each step he took, the earth seemed to feel his sorrow, and as he walked, it continually cracked apart.

"What's up with this guy…"

Looking at Obito striding forward, along with the spikes sprouting from his right side and the ground continually shattering beneath his feet.

A strange chill filled his and his subordinates' whole bodies.

"Be careful, everyone!"

"Secret Technique: Insect Jade"

Without a hint of hesitation, his intuition was frantically sounding an alarm for him to flee, but turning and fleeing directly would be the most foolish move.

However, the meticulous he did not attack Dai Tu himself, but instead controlled his insects, rushing toward the fallen Yeyuan Lin.

Although the opponent is about to die, he hasn't breathed his last yet, so he can still be used.

"Kill you!"

Seeing this, the already mad Dai Tu, the speed of the comma-shaped jewel spinning in his eyes became even more intense, instantly connecting together, forming a pattern like three sharp sickles, waiting to devour a person.
