Chapter 47

Lin, be careful.

Although the water dragon bullet just now had separated them, he wasn't too far from Lin.

Moreover, their current situation wasn't good either; at this moment they were being continuously besieged by four or five Mist Village ANBU.

Furthermore, the Mist Village technique caused them great visual obstruction, especially for Lin.

Moreover, the Mist Village technique caused them great trouble with their vision, especially for Lin, it was even worse.

Lin nodded beside him; although she was a medical ninja, she still possessed some combat ability.

Otherwise, such a dangerous mission wouldn't have allowed her to participate, but the current situation is indeed somewhat complicated.

Watch out, they're coming again!

Kakashi focused intently; suddenly he shouted loudly, and at the same time he fiercely swung the short blade in his hand.

Having received Yuzhi's guidance, he now has enough change.

He naturally wouldn't become Obito's substitute as in the original story, living entirely for Obito.

He is still himself now, the Leaf Village's genius, Kakashi Hatake!

He is still himself, the Leaf Village's genius Kakashi Hatake!

In the mist, Kakashi's ninja sword flashed like lightning, the sound of metal clashing continually echoing through the woods.

At this moment, his heart held only one belief: to protect Lin well and to rush to support Yuzhi as soon as possible.

The short blade blazed with chakra's light, electric arcs flickering along its edge; even with the mist obscuring his view, he still managed to deal with these enemies.

But while he could handle these opponents, Lin's situation wasn't good, forcing him to divert his attention to look after her.

But while he could handle these people, Lin's situation was not good, forcing him to divert his attention to look after Lin.

Lin was also constantly blocking the Mist Village's attacks, but she harbored too much reluctance inside.

She knew she was burdening Kakashi, and possibly even Yuzhi, which made her feel especially guilty.

All she could do now was to fight as hard as she could and avoid being a burden.

All she can do now is fight as hard as she can and avoid being a burden as much as possible.

However, at that moment, a violent roar sounded without warning, and immediately an irresistible shockwave instantly blasted them away.

Caught off guard, Kakashi, Lin, and those Mist Village ninja were all blown away by the shockwave.

Kakashi struggled to climb to his feet, and then in his peripheral vision he saw a sight that made his eyes bloodshot.

Kakashi struggled to climb to his feet, and then his peripheral vision caught a sight that made his eyes almost burst.

Lin had just stumbled to the ground when a Mist Village ninja suddenly appeared behind her.

She heard Kakashi's warning, but the next moment she felt a sharp pain in her neck.

Immediately afterward, her consciousness became a little hazy.

She only saw Kakashi anxiously trying to rush over, but he was blocked by several Mist Village ninja, and her vision grew increasingly blurry.

「Sorry, Yuzhi, sorry, Kakashi. 」

Have you succeeded already?

Inside the Underground Base in Grass Country, Ban silently observed everything through Bai Jue's sight.

The rest naturally became simple—using Bai Jue, leave them an illusionary suggestion so they cannot recognize Obito.

But Ban himself was also getting a headache, as he discovered that the situation's development seemed somewhat beyond his expectations.

Although his focus had always been on Kakashi and Lin, he still noticed that violent explosion.

If it were merely a normal explosion, no matter how great its power, he wouldn't take it too seriously.

Because his plan had already been set, and everything was proceeding according to his expectations.

But the problem now is that the actor is fine; the girl he previously disregarded has run into trouble!

That explosion produced black flames, and that kind of black flame is absolutely unmistakable to Ban.

The explosion produced black flames, and that kind of black flame mark is absolutely impossible to mistake.

He murmured softly, and his brows furrowed deeper, for the appearance of such flames meant two possibilities.

"This person possesses a Mangekyou Sharingan, or she has had the Transcription Seal store Amaterasu's power to protect that Yuzhi."

If it's the latter, then everything is still fine.

But if it's the former, given how this girl has been following Yuzhi, once they encounter Obito, Obito's situation will become dire.

Actually, for a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, Ban couldn't possibly care too much.

But encountering this pair of eyes at this juncture really disrupts his plan.

"Looks like this matter has become even more interesting."

However, Ban is Ban; although he encountered some surprises, he basically isn't panicking at all.

After closing his eyes and thinking quickly, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It's just right; I was worried that this guy Obito would get carried away in the future, but having someone like this around can keep him constantly alert."

"But before that, it's still better to confirm things—come out, Bai Jue."

"Lord Ban." As soon as Ban's words fell, Bai Jue emerged from the wall.

"Go attract the Rock Village ninja, and also have the Leaf Village people come over."

Ban spoke directly, his aged face showing such confidence.

"Let's make this operation a bit livelier."

If the Rock Village ninja come, it can both disperse the threat to Obito and test that girl's mettle.

If it is a Mangekyou Sharingan and its power is displayed, and the Leaf Village people also come, then the Leaf Village's higher-ups would have to become alert.

If it is a Mangekyou Sharingan and its power is displayed, and the Leaf Village people also come, then the Leaf Village's higher-ups would have to become alert.

This way she can't constantly keep an eye on Obito, while letting Obito be able to act, and we also need to remember that these eyes are watching him.

Of course, if not, then the Leaf Village people coming over also counts as rescue.

He also needs people to stay alive, using them his whole life to warn Obito how cruel this world is.

As for Obito's recklessness, he can say the Uchiha clan has a way to seal Mangekyou Sharingan power, which can also make Obito wary.

No matter how you count it, he doesn't lose out; truly a case of killing multiple birds with one stone!

"I understand, Lord Ban." Bai Jue nodded: "Then, should we go notify Obito now?"

"We can notify him, and also tell that Xuanwo Lian."

Ban thought for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"Let him protect Obito well, but also make sure he doesn't slip up."

Go ahead, I also need to prepare a bit, to ensure the illusion technique succeeds once.

"Yes." Bai Jue nodded: "Lord Ban"

——

"Finally, it's my turn?"

On the other side of the basement, Obito heard Xuanwo Lian's words and couldn't help but feel especially excited.

Finally, finally waiting for this day!

These past months in this damned place, he's constantly thinking about wanting to meet Kakashi and Lin.

Although this operation also has the nature of gambling with that annoying old man, his heart is always full of confidence.

It's just needing to make some disguises, that's no big deal!

"Hmm, a little preparation and we can move out."

Xuanwo Lian nodded, then began to repeat Ban's words.

"But before that, you still need to disguise yourself, and wait for everyone to gather before you can officially act."

"What do you mean?" Obito's smile froze, and he asked urgently.

"It's simple, this time I'll act together with you because the situation is slightly dangerous."

Xuanwo Lian shrugged, then after recalling a bit continued speaking.

"The Rock Village people have come over, while Kakashi and them are still fighting the Mist Village people."

"What?"

Obito's face changed, and he immediately shouted loudly.

"Then they're in danger, no, I'm going out right now!"

"Don't rush, everything is proceeding according to plan."

Xuanwo Lian shook his head, then helplessly said.

"To go out you need Lord Ban to open the door, and you also need to adapt a bit to my power."

"Only then do you have combat ability, and"

"And what?"

"And I heard that heroes don't always appear last, right?"
