Chapter 380: Konoha Genin Naruto Uzumaki? Fake ID!

In the early morning, Mu Yue went to the mission hall in the Hokage Building to look for a mission.

Obito's life mission had already reached 19.2%, and he was only 0.8% away from reaching 20% to settle another reward.

If the mission type was suitable, it could push that percentage up in one go.

Of course, if it wasn't suitable, the effect might not be as good as staying in Konoha to train and improve strength, so Mu Yue didn't bring Obito and the others along; instead, she came to the Hokage Building alone.

If there was a suitable mission, she would take it; if not, she would train.

"B-rank mission, investigate Loulan minister An Lushan..." Mu Yue's gaze froze at the word "Loulan," and she quickly read through the entire mission.

Loulan was a very special place in the ninja world, because the Dragon Vein beneath it held power capable of traveling through time and space.

However, Mu Yue clearly remembered that Minato was already proficient in using the Rasengan when he went to the Dragon Vein; the Loulan mission shouldn't have been at this point in time.

Mu Yue carefully recalled the beginning and end of the Loulan incident and realized that the Loulan mission before her was not the same one that Minato had taken.

The Loulan mission Minato took back then was to protect Queen Sara, while the B-rank mission before her was issued by Sara's mother, and Sara wasn't even the queen of Loulan yet.

"I'll take this mission," Mu Yue said to the registration ninja after a moment of thought.

Although they probably wouldn't see Naruto going back to this point in time, this mission was indeed very suitable for pushing mission progress. If Obito performed well, he could become a little hero of a small nation like the Land of Snow.

Even if it weren't for Obito's life mission reward, Mu Yue wanted to take this mission to go to Loulan and take a look at the Dragon Vein.

This was power that could travel through time and space—it would be too much of a pity not to go see it and study it.

After accepting the mission, Mu Yue returned to the Southern Border Forest and explained the situation to her students.

"It's just a B-rank mission, Mu Yue-sensei. Why didn't you take an A-rank mission?" Obito scratched his head and asked in confusion.

Obito had already done quite a few A-rank missions on the battlefield; now doing an ordinary B-rank mission felt unchallenging to him.

"Don't you like taking photos of different landscapes in various places? Loulan is a small country that has existed for a very long time, and within it there are unique buildings that exist only in Loulan," Mu Yue replied with a gentle smile.

"Is that so? Then we have to do this mission," Obito's eyes lit up instantly, deeply moved in his heart.

"You sure changed your tune quickly," Kakashi couldn't help but tease, seeing such a huge shift in Obito's attitude.

"What do you know? It's just that I didn't realize Mu Yue-sensei's good intentions at first," Obito said carelessly.

"I think that's mainly because you didn't seriously study the geography of the ninja world," Kakashi retorted with a straight face.

"I bet you don't know more than ten countries."

"How is that possible? Kakashi, don't look down on me. Ten countries? I'll rattle them off for you right now," Obito said angrily. How could he not know ten countries? The Five Great Nations alone made five.

Obito quickly recited the full names of the Five Great Nations, then continued, "The Land of Snow, the Land of Grass, the Land of Rivers, the Land of Hot Water... Hot Water... Loulan!"

"And then? That's only ten," Kakashi said with a mocking smile.

Obito's face turned red as he racked his brain, trying hard to think of what other countries he had missed.

"And the Land of Rice! Eleven! Kakashi, what else do you have to say?" Obito's mind flashed with inspiration as he thought of another country's name and loudly challenged Kakashi.

Clap, clap.

Kakashi clapped his hands and said with a faint smile, "Obito, being able to remember eleven countries including the Five Great Ones is really impressive."

Obito's face turned even redder. Even though Kakashi was praising him, Obito felt immense humiliation.

"Do you know the Land of Rain, the Land of Moon, the Land of Waves, the Land of Waterfalls, the Land of Birds, the Land of Bears...?" Kakashi abruptly rattled off a string of small country names.

Hearing so many unfamiliar names of small countries, a look of confusion appeared in Obito's eyes. Did the ninja world really have that many countries?

"Kakashi, don't pick on Obito. This is just what he's worst at," Rin Nohara said with a helpless smile.

But Rin Nohara didn't know that her words dealt an even bigger blow to Obito.

"So in Rin's heart, I'm an idiot," Obito couldn't help but crouch down and draw circles on the ground with his finger.

He really wished someone would teach Kakashi a lesson; he was too much of a bully.

"Alright, everyone, get ready. We're about to set off," Mu Yue stepped in and said in time.

Since this mission was a B-rank mission, Mu Yue didn't bring Shisui and the others along; instead, she left a shadow clone to teach them.

After everything was ready, Mu Yue led Obito and the others and set out toward Loulan.

Heading west all the way, the environment around Muyue and the others gradually changed from forest to grassland, then to steppe, and finally to an endless desert.

Looking at that expanse of golden yellow, Obito couldn't help pulling out his camera and taking a couple of shots.

"Last time I didn't get to stay for even a moment before enemies showed up, so this time I can make up for it." Obito said with an excited smile; Loulan in the desert was an unexpected delight for him.

The first time he had seen a desert in his life wasn't very pleasant, because he hadn't looked at it for long before running into the AB duo from Kumogakure, and he didn't have a camera to take pictures back then either.

"After a few days here, you might start missing Konoha." Muyue activated his Byakugan and scanned the surroundings, then said.

The desert scenery was spectacular, but staying for a long time would become uncomfortable, because the views were mostly the same everywhere, and the living environment was worrying.

Although the latter didn't matter to a shinobi, the former would make Obito lose his sense of novelty toward the desert quickly.

"Muyue-sensei, you're overestimating him. I bet by tonight he'll be saying Konoha is still more comfortable to live in." Kakashi said flatly.

Obito glared at Kakashi and made up his mind: no matter how much he suffered in the desert, he wouldn't complain, and he absolutely wouldn't let Kakashi look down on him.

Except for when they first arrived in the desert to indulge Obito's curiosity, Muyue sped up all the way afterward and arrived at Loulan.

"Why are there so many tall buildings here?" Looking at the Loulan ahead, Kakashi's face showed confusion.

The Loulan in the books wasn't like this. Although outdated information in books was normal, the change was really a bit too fast.

"So even you, Kakashi, didn't know what Loulan looks like. I thought you were something special, but you only knew the name." Obito, who was taking photos, heard Kakashi speak and was instantly delighted, turning back to mock him.

Kakashi frowned slightly, ignored Obito, and instead looked around, beginning to observe.

He noticed that Loulan still had many buildings recorded in the data; those super-tall towers with Loulan style must be newly built.

"Let's go meet our client." Muyue said, taking three kunai out of his ninja tool pouch and distributing them to his students.

Kakashi looked at Muyue, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

They hadn't fought at all since leaving Konoha, so Muyue certainly wasn't worried about them having insufficient tools; then it could only be...

"Muyue-sensei, do you also know the Flying Thunder God?" Kakashi asked.

At that moment, Obito still couldn't quite understand why Muyue was giving them kunai, but upon hearing Kakashi's words, he subconsciously looked toward Muyue.

"Mm, as long as you keep the kunai with you, I can teleport to your side at any time." Muyue nodded and smiled.

"Muyue-sensei, do you really not have a long-lost twin brother?" The outspoken Obito asked directly.

Minato looked like Muyue, and both of them knew the Flying Thunder God Technique, and both had gentle personalities; it was hard for Obito not to suspect they were brothers.

After all, the Flying Thunder God Technique wasn't like the Fireball Jutsu, which every Uchiha could use; Obito had only seen Minato use it.

Not to mention Obito, even Rin Nohara and Kakashi looked at Muyue with curiosity. Although Muyue had denied it many times, the similarities were indeed too strong.

Smack!

Muyue pressed his index and middle fingers together and knocked on Obito's forehead. "No, stop guessing. The Flying Thunder God Technique was taught to me by Minato. I just happened to learn it."

Without Minato's explanation, if he had tried to grind it out on his own, it might have taken him a very long time to learn, so saying Minato taught him wasn't wrong.

"Muyue-sensei, I want to learn this too." Obito rubbed the spot where he was knocked and said with a grin.

As much as Obito didn't want to fight Minato, that was how much he wanted to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. In his view, this technique was too cheap.

You could exhaust every effort and still not touch even the corner of Minato Namikaze's robe, but if you dared be careless even for a second, Minato Namikaze's kunai would be stuck in you.

"When you're able to learn it, I'll teach you." Muyue thought for a moment and replied.

Muyue did plan to teach Obito the Flying Thunder God, after all Obito had a talent for space, but he wouldn't teach it now.

Because the Flying Thunder God consumed a considerable amount of chakra,

It's like no one would teach a five- or six-year-old child the Great Fire Annihilation; is it because they don't want to teach? How could that be learned?

"Great!" Obito couldn't help but cheer, then shot a provocative glance at Kakashi.

If he learned Flying Thunder God, Obito didn't believe Kakashi could still defeat him.

Kakashi looked at Muyue; the Flying Thunder God was indeed formidable, and he also wanted to learn.

"You can all learn it, but this jutsu has special requirements; don't be discouraged if you don't master it." Muyue said.

He actually hoped that all his disciples could learn the Flying Thunder God, as it would improve both their combat power and survival ability to a certain extent, but that was obviously a bit unrealistic.

In the original story, Minato taught the Flying Thunder God Technique to his own guards, so how could he not teach it to Kakashi? It's highly likely he did, but Kakashi just never learned it.

Muyue had studied Flying Thunder God before gaining space-time talent, so he knew how it felt—truly, it was a complete fog, impossible to comprehend.

However, in Muyue's view, Kakashi didn't really need Flying Thunder God in combat. If he could enter the "Transparent World" even before mastering the regular forms, he would definitely be able to train the Breathing Technique to perfection. By then, his short-range burst speed would be no slower than Flying Thunder God.

After briefly discussing the Flying Thunder God issue with his students, Muyue took them to meet the mission client, who was the current queen of Land of the Ruins (Loulan).

The current queen of Land of the Ruins was a woman who looked very gentle and young. Perhaps because she was the queen, she had enough wealth for self-care. Just by her appearance, Muyue could not tell that she was already the mother of a child over ten years old.

"The mission says we need to investigate An Lushan. Are there any specific focus areas for the investigation?" After confirming their identities, Muyue asked.

"Please do your best to look into his past and his secret activities," the queen of Land of the Ruins said.

"Isn't he a minister of your country? How can you not even know his past?" Kakashi asked doubtfully.

A person of unknown origin had actually become the second most important figure under the queen.

A helpless expression appeared on the queen's face as she explained: "At first, he told us about his past, and after making great contributions, he became a minister. But now I suspect his past is fabricated and that he came to Land of the Ruins with ulterior motives."

No matter how much the queen of Land of the Ruins suspected An Lushan, she could not deny his contributions to the country. Without An Lushan's help, Loulan would not have been able to build so many tall buildings, and its economy would be far worse than it is now.

It was precisely because of An Lushan's contributions to Land of the Ruins that the queen, despite her suspicions, did not directly remove him from office or detain him, but instead hired ninja to investigate.

"Also, please keep it discreet. Do not reveal your purpose, and do not let anyone know that I hired you," the queen added.

"There are many people in Loulan now who support An Lushan. If this is exposed before evidence is found, it will cause discontent among the people and officials."

That was also one of the reasons she sought out Konoha ninja. There were too many people supporting An Lushan in Loulan, making it easy for information to leak.

Still, the queen could understand them. After all, An Lushan had indeed brought development to Loulan.

Obito looked at the queen of Land of the Ruins with surprise. It was the first time he had seen a queen in such a miserable situation.

When Kazahana Sōsetsu determined that Kazahana Dotō was problematic, he directly sent his subordinates to arrest him, while this queen was worried that even an investigation might be discovered.

"No problem." Muyue nodded to indicate he understood.

He could somewhat understand the queen. This place, though called a small country, was actually only the size of a town, far smaller than the Land of Snow. Moreover, its location was bad—in a remote desert surrounded by frequent wars. Life was indeed difficult.

Under such circumstances, it was inevitable that someone who brought development and change to Loulan would gain support. However, the queen should be grateful for her caution. If she had rashly made a move, she would have been the one to die. An Lushan was not only a ninja but also a fairly strong one.

"Could he be another Kazahana Dotō, trying to take over Loulan for himself?" Obito speculated as they left.

"It's hard to say before we investigate. Even the queen of Loulan doesn't know," Kakashi said, shaking his head.

They hadn't even seen An Lushan yet, so speculating out of thin air was meaningless.

Muyue first found an ordinary inn, then said to Kakashi and the others, "To speed up the investigation, let's split up for now. I'll work alone, and you three will work together. We'll meet back at the inn in the evening to exchange information."

Through his Byakugan, Muyue could observe the powerful energy beneath Loulan. He planned to go check out the Dragon Vein first.

His perception couldn't cover the entire shinobi world, but covering all of Loulan was no problem. If his students were in danger, Muyue could use Flying Thunder God to support them.

As an extra precaution, Muyue would also send a shadow clone to follow Kakashi and the others, as a double safeguard.

After saying that, Muyue's figure quickly disappeared from their sight.

"Let's go. First, let's observe Loulan as it is now," Kakashi said without any hesitation, immediately ready to start the investigation.

"What's with the tone, like you're the team leader?" Obito disliked the way Kakashi directly gave orders.

"Then tell me what we should do now and why," Kakashi turned to Obito and asked.

Obito's momentum immediately faltered. Kakashi's question felt like he was being given a test paper.

With Obito having no further objections, the three began their investigation.

Following the queen's request, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin took off their forehead protectors and chūnin vests, dressing like ordinary people as they observed Loulan.

"Kakashi, Rin, I think I found a suspicious person," Obito said, looking at the blond figure ahead who seemed to be stupidly looking around.

"I already noticed him before you said anything," Kakashi said, frowning slightly as he looked at the Konoha forehead protector.

"He really does look suspicious at first glance," Nohara Rin said, following their gaze and nodding in agreement.

"Be careful. Prepare for battle," Kakashi reminded in a low voice.

In Kakashi's view, the blond figure ahead had too many suspicious points. He was only wearing a forehead protector, no chūnin vest—meaning he might be a genin. And why would a genin be alone in Loulan?

"It can't be that bad. That person might also be a Konoha ninja." Obito felt somehow that the person across from them wasn't bad.

"Not everyone who wears a Konoha headband is a Konoha ninja," Kakashi said flatly.

A ninja's headband is too easy to counterfeit. Even simpler, you don't need to counterfeit it—just use the Transformation Technique.

However, Kakashi hadn't noticed any signs of the Transformation Technique on the person opposite. Of course, it could also be that the other party was very skilled at it.

"We'll know if we just ask."

With that, Obito gave Kakashi a look, and the two of them approached in a pincer formation, ready for battle.

"Are you a Konoha ninja?" Obito asked bluntly.

"Isn't it obvious?" Naruto said, pointing at his headband.

"Could you let us see your ninja ID? It's wartime, so please understand," Kakashi said in a low voice.

All registered Konoha ninja have an ID. It not only records the ninja's basic information and number of completed missions, but also has anti-counterfeiting technology.

"Ah, what war? But I think I have my ID on me," Uzumaki Naruto said, confused by Kakashi's words. Still, he roughly understood what they meant—they were also Konoha ninja.

So Naruto readily handed his ID to Kakashi. For some reason, he felt that the white-haired, masked kid in front of him looked familiar.

"Uzumaki Naruto, Genin, Ninja Registration Number 0..." After reading Naruto's ID, Kakashi couldn't help his eyelids twitching.

He would have to report the leak of the Konoha ID anti-counterfeiting technology to Muyue tonight.

In Kakashi's eyes, the ID that Uzumaki Naruto gave him was a very convincing fake.

He said it was very convincing because the ID was exactly the same as a real Konoha ninja ID, with no difference in the details. But the information on it was too absurd—the ninja registration number went all the way to over twelve thousand six hundred.

Just how absurd was it? Obito hadn't even graduated a full year ago; he was among the latest batch of graduates from the Ninja Academy, and his ninja registration number was 005100.

That meant, even if Obito was among the earliest numbers in his class and Naruto was at the very end, there would still be a difference of over 1,700 people between them.

Moreover, the Ninja Academy obviously couldn't graduate that many ninja in one year. And judging by Naruto's appearance, he didn't look like a recent graduate either—he seemed at least fifteen or sixteen.

Besides, there weren't that many students in a single grade at the Ninja Academy. If Naruto really were the latest graduate, Obito wouldn't have failed to recognize him.

The surname Uzumaki was also suspicious. If Kakashi remembered correctly, the only Uzumaki in Konoha right now was Minato-sensei's girlfriend, Uzumaki Kushina.

A simple ID had exposed far too many absurd suspicious points.

Kakashi did not return the ID to Uzumaki Naruto. He gave Obito a look and silently began gathering chakra, preparing to fight.

Muyue's Shadow Clone, which had been following from the shadows, showed an interested expression. This development was rather interesting.

"By the way, do you guys know where this is? Have you seen Mukade? I'm on a mission to capture him," Naruto asked happily, finally meeting a fellow village ninja.

"This is Rōran. You came here without even knowing where it is?" Because Uzumaki Naruto's expression was so genuine, Kakashi couldn't tell for a moment whether Naruto was truly foolish or just pretending to be crazy.

"Rōran? This is actually Rōran? I remember Rōran being a ruin, wasn't it?" Naruto turned to look at the surrounding town—completely intact, even somewhat prosperous—and scratched his head in confusion.

Seeing Uzumaki Naruto like this, Kakashi inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity, because Obito was usually in this state as well.

Because Uzumaki Naruto hadn't bothered to control his volume, the surrounding pedestrians all turned to look.

Sensing trouble, Kakashi could only lead Uzumaki Naruto to a secluded spot. If this continued, they would be exposed before they even began their investigation.

"By the way, you wouldn't happen to be named Hatake, would you?" On the way, Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help asking Kakashi.

He thought that this kid in front of him might be his teacher Kakashi Hatake's illegitimate child.

Kakashi nodded calmly. It wasn't the Warring States Period anymore; revealing a surname wasn't a problem.

"Really? Kakashi-sensei is really too much—secretly having such a big kid and not even telling me," Uzumaki Naruto said indignantly.

Kakashi:???

Kakashi looked at Uzumaki Naruto with a face full of question marks. What did he mean? I am my own child? Is there really another person named Hatake Kakashi in this world?

"Haha, Kakashi, he called you 'Sensei'—even though you're your own son," Obito couldn't help laughing loudly.

He thought Uzumaki Naruto was really interesting. If Naruto really was a Konoha ninja, Obito definitely wanted to be friends with him—he was too fun.

Pfft.

Uzumaki Naruto's words made Nohara Rin unable to hold back a laugh. She thought Naruto must know Kakashi, and his acting was so good—he pretended really well.

Kakashi looked darkly at Naruto, feeling that Naruto was a ninja who knew him and was deliberately trying to provoke him.

"Ah, where's Kakashi-sensei?" Because of Obito's words, Uzumaki Naruto looked around, searching for Kakashi's figure.

"Hahaha, I can't take it anymore." Obito laughed even louder; based on this encounter alone, he felt this mission was totally worth it.

"Who exactly are you? Stop pretending." Unable to hold back, Kakashi asked directly.

He felt that if this continued, he would leave Obito with a bunch of jokes. How could he endure that?

"I already gave you my ninja ID, I'm Uzumaki Naruto." Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head, puzzled.

"You mean that ninja ID of yours full of holes? The forgery is indeed well done, but the data inside is far too wrong." Kakashi said calmly.

"If you can't tell the truth, then we'll have to converse in the way of ninjas." Kakashi silently pulled out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch; by now they had walked to a very remote place.

Although Uzumaki Naruto seemed harmless, the information this incident revealed forced Kakashi to take it seriously.

"I really don't understand what you're thinking." Uzumaki Naruto was a bit confused, not knowing how he had provoked the other party.

Although he had been laughing at Kakashi, once Kakashi prepared to actually fight, Obito chose to immediately step in to help.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

Obito gathered a large amount of chakra in his throat, spat out a massive flame forming a fireball, and hurled it at Uzumaki Naruto.

"Hey hey, if you attack, even if you're connected to Kakashi-sensei, I'll make you cry." Naruto easily dodged the Great Fireball and said.

"So fast, the opponent's strength is no joke." Noticing Naruto's speed, Kakashi became cautious in his heart.

Since the opponent was formidable, Kakashi concentrated his breathing to the utmost to enhance his own abilities, then drew the White Fang short blade and slashed at Uzumaki Naruto.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Seeing that both had made their moves, Naruto also began. He directly utilized the immense chakra within his body and instantly split into over eighty shadow clones.

"Poof poof poof!!"

One after another, puffs of white smoke flashed, and Kakashi and Obito were instantly surrounded by numerous shadow clones.

At first, Kakashi thought these were just deceptive illusions, but upon engaging, he realized they were all physical clones.

"Such terrifying chakra!" Kakashi's expression became severe; Naruto, who had split into so many shadow clones in one go, still had a normal complexion.

Kakashi cast aside distractions and devoted himself fully to the battle, fighting against the shadow clones rushing at him from Naruto.

Obito on the side was also astonished by Naruto's tactic of overwhelming numbers; it was the first time he had seen anyone use shadow clones like this.

Normally, ninjas use shadow clones for gathering intelligence, and in combat they typically use them flexibly; basically no one just brute-forces with shadow clones.

Nohara Rin saw this scene, her mouth slightly agape, not expecting that a random ninja they encountered on the road would have such strength.

"Great Serpent Slash!"

Obito concentrated his breathing, gathered a large amount of chakra in his palm, and under the enhancement of Flame Breathing, converted it all into fire-natured chakra in one breath and released it in a torrent.

Whoosh whoosh!!!

The ferocious flames instantly engulfed most of Naruto's shadow clones around him, leaving scorched black marks on the ground.

"Flash: Double Slash!"

A brilliant blue lightning appeared on Kakashi's feet; under the enhancement of lightning-nature chakra activating his body, he ran at extreme speed and slashed, also clearing a large number of Naruto's shadow clones.

The performance of the two made Uzumaki Naruto a little surprised. Although part of it was because he didn't really want to fight, being able to quickly eliminate that many of his shadow clones meant their strength was decent, after all, Obito and the others looked about the same age as Konohamaru.

"Pretty capable, huh." Naruto twisted his wrists, a sly grin appearing on his face as if about to play a prank.

Although Naruto liked Kakashi as a teacher, Kakashi had done plenty of unscrupulous things.

"Blame your father." Muttering internally, Naruto instantly burst out chakra and split into over a hundred clones again, then his real body also charged forward.

Seeing Uzumaki Naruto split into another pile of shadow clones, Kakashi's forehead broke out in fine sweat. He realized that the three of them might not be able to defeat Uzumaki Naruto.

"Need to make a bigger commotion, let Muyue-sensei know what's happening here." Kakashi rapidly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

They had Muyue's Flying Thunder God kunai on them; if Muyue knew something was wrong here, he could come immediately. Although this Uzumaki Naruto was performing strongly, Kakashi didn't think he could beat Muyue.

Because Uzumaki Naruto's performance was too exaggerated, Kakashi immediately entered the state of the Transparent World; everything about himself and his surroundings became transparent in his eyes, and his strength and insight greatly increased.

Four hands are hard to fight with two fists. Although Kakashi could sense where attacks were coming from, Naruto's Shadow Clones were just too many, and their strength was not weak. With Naruto's original body causing trouble, Kakashi soon got punched in the face.

Rin Nohara wanted to use Water Release to help Kakashi out of trouble, but Naruto directly scattered Rin Nohara's Water Release with a single Rasengan.

Seeing that Kakashi was at a disadvantage, Obito ignored the consumption issue and directly entered the Flame Breathing Chakra Mode.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

The power of Orochi Naginata was high, but its range was average, so Obito chose the wider-range Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.

As chakra in Obito's body was continuously consumed, orange-red high-temperature flames were continuously spewed from Obito's mouth, quickly forming a small sea of fire that incinerated a large number of Naruto's Shadow Clones.

Then Obito controlled the orange-red flames to attack all Uzumaki Naruto from three different directions.

Because they were solid clones, even his Sharingan could not see through the Shadow Clones, and he could not find Naruto's original body among the many clones.

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to his Lightning Release, Obito's Fire Release was more spectacular and attention-grabbing. Such fierce flames, if maintained for a while, would be enough to attract attention.

"Water Release: Water Wave Hand!"

But just then, someone suddenly unleashed Water Release. A fierce water current like a tidal wave came, instantly extinguishing all the flames spewed by Obito.

Kakashi, who had just relaxed, became heavy-hearted again. The enemy actually had not just one person but an accomplice.

Kakashi looked over. A ninja wearing a black combat uniform and a Konoha chunin vest, with a Konoha headband on his forehead, was slowly walking toward them.

Kakashi felt that they might have inadvertently fallen into a huge conspiracy targeting Konoha.
