Chapter 566: The Power of the First Shinobi's Deep Emotions
Chapter 566: The Power of the First Shinobi's Deep Emotions
Realizing that the situation wasn't as bad as he thought, Yecheng began to expand his chakra, using his "Aura Sense" alongside the Dragon Balls' ability to sense energy. He centered himself and started to extend his perception outwards...
Standing by his side, Tsunade was speechless at the sight before her. At this point, she couldn't think of anything that her disciple couldn't do.
Such an absurd perception range, even the Yamanaka Clan's ninjas couldn't achieve this, right?
Their Forest Senju Clan was only known for their strong vitality; she hadn't heard of any exceptional talent in perception among them!
One kilometer, five kilometers, ten kilometers... As Yecheng's perception range expanded, he soon detected chakra signatures within his reach.
Quickly, he even sensed the chakra of Naruto, who had been lured away.
In contrast to Naruto's chakra signature, Yecheng soon located his target.
The chakra of Kakashi and Haruno Rin was currently with several Mist Hidden Village ninjas.
Indeed, on the front line against the Stone Hidden Village, ninjas from the Mist Hidden Village had appeared.
Although Kakashi was currently unconscious, he seemed to be in a stable condition. However, as for Haruno Rin... Yecheng could sense an extremely powerful and ominous chakra emanating from her.
Haruno Rin was just a civilian ninja, and her chakra level was barely at the level of a Chunin. Yet, she was now emitting such a massive amount of chakra, which meant only one thing: Rin had become the Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails!
In a wooded area, not far from the Shinobu Bridge, the unconscious Kakashi slowly regained consciousness. He looked at Rin, who was also unconscious, and the few ninjas surrounding her, and Kakashi immediately recalled what had happened.
During the battle with the Stone Hidden Village ninjas, they had been pushed back to the point where only four defenders remained.
To turn the tide, Naruto's team had to set up an ambush at the Shinobu Bridge, a crucial supply route for the Stone ninjas, in order to disrupt their supply lines and provide a breather for the Konoha ninjas on the front line.
The operation had been successful until Naruto pursued the retreating enemy, leaving the remaining three members of his team vulnerable.
In that battle, they managed to defeat the ambushing ninjas, but Obito's body was crushed under a giant rock. Before his death, he asked Rin to transplant one of his Sharingan eyes into him using medical ninjutsu...
After the successful Sharingan transplant, the surrounding boulders collapsed, completely burying Obito under the rubble.
Before they could mourn, they set out to find Naruto, only to encounter more Mist Hidden Village ninjas.
Kakashi, still recovering from the intense battle and the Sharingan transplant, fought valiantly but ultimately lost to the Mist ninjas. He and Rin were captured, and this was the last thing Kakashi remembered before losing consciousness.
Now awake, Kakashi remained still, pretending to be unconscious, as the Mist ninjas hadn't noticed his recovery yet. He quietly consumed a Medicinal Ball, waiting for the right moment.
The Mist ninjas before him were a small squad led by a Jonin, with the other three being Chunin.
In his current state, a direct confrontation would be unlikely to succeed. To win, he needed to act swiftly and decisively, prioritizing the elimination of the Jonin!
"Rin, I promised Obito, so I'll definitely protect you!"
As Kakashi felt his chakra slowly recovering, he waited for the perfect opportunity.
As Kakashi felt his chakra recover to a certain extent, and the moment the Mist Hidden Jonin had his back turned to him, Kakashi suddenly opened his eyes and made his move!
The sound of the Thunderbird echoed through the air, and the lightning-attributed chakra transformation formed a blue lightning aura, which gathered in Kakashi's palm at that moment.
The Thunderbird was his most powerful and fastest technique, and the violent lightning tore a deep furrow into the ground.
Previously, Kakashi couldn't adapt to the Thunderbird's speed, but now, with the help of the Sharingan in his left eye, everything around him seemed incredibly clear.
This was the power that Obito had left him, and now he was going to use this power to protect Rin, who was most important to them all!
"Thunderbird—!"
The thunderous roar naturally attracted the attention of several Mist Hidden ninjas in the area.
But by the time they reacted and turned around, they found that Kakashi had already closed in on them with astonishing speed!
The Mist Hidden Jonin only needed a glance to understand how dangerous Kakashi's technique was.
However, with such incredible speed, they didn't even have the chance to form hand seals to counter with their own jutsu.
As Kakashi's Thunderbird was about to hit his target, his mind relaxed a little, knowing that with this surprise attack, he could take out the strongest Mist Hidden Jonin. The remaining three Chunin were not a significant threat to him.
But what Kakashi never expected was that just as his Thunderbird was about to hit the enemy's heart, the Mist Hidden Jonin's action caught him off guard.
The lightning-clad palm did pierce through the enemy's heart, but the target it hit was not the one Kakashi had initially aimed for; it was another Mist Hidden Chunin instead.
Kakashi hadn't missed; it was the Mist Hidden Jonin who, sensing the danger, had used his companion standing beside him as a shield!
Kakashi, seemingly unprepared for this situation, froze in surprise, and was immediately kicked away by the enemy, his body sliding awkwardly across the ground for a long distance.
"You actually used your own village's ninja as a shield? Aren't you... comrades...?"
Hearing Kakashi's words, the Mist Hidden Jonin's face immediately showed a mocking smile.
"Comrades? You're just a kid, believing in such nonsense. Or are all the kids from Konoha this naive?
This is a battlefield! The only one you can trust is yourself. For someone as strong as me, the weaker ones are just a burden. The dead weight is dead, and that's that."
Listening to the Mist Hidden Jonin's words, Kakashi struggled to get up from the ground, feeling a sense of irony in his heart.
Ever since his father, White Fang, had been betrayed and committed suicide, Kakashi had also thought the same way as his opponent.
But later, he was changed time and time again, and eventually, he was even saved by the 'dead weight' he had always called so!
Therefore, even if it meant repaying his debt, Kakashi would never fall here, nor would he lose to someone like this!
Even if it meant sacrificing his own life, he would at least ensure that Rin survived!
