The Price the Shinobi World Could Not Bear

Hinata swears that Obito's face, hidden beneath that orange spiral mask, must look as ugly as if he'd eaten shit.

After being a lazy bum in the Shinobi World for so many years, he was finally washed away by the waves and died on the beach today.

Without a doubt, after today, information about 'Kamui' will be leaked, and Obito's Space-time ninjutsu will no longer be an unbeatable technique.

Even though Kamui is still powerful, Obito can only use it to save his life.

When the mask of 'invincibility' is completely torn off, the Madara Uchiha's will completely lose its deterrent power.

No one would believe that the seemingly weak Obito could be the once-mighty Madara Uchiha. Moreover, the elders of the Tsuchikage Ōnoki's generation had personally witnessed Madara Uchiha's power.

What's worse is that once everyone knows about the five-minute cooldown of 'Kamui', Obito will no longer be able to cause trouble in the Shinobi World.

If there are enough ninjas, they can easily attack Obito continuously for more than five minutes.

Perhaps the plan that has been in the works for many years will fail because of this.

At least... after Obito's humiliating escape today, with his serious injuries, and with Konan's instigation, Nagato might not trust him as much as before.

Obito had completely lost interest in continuing to cosplay Tobi. His exposed left eye coldly swept over everyone before his body slowly sank into the ground.

'Whoosh!'

The Spiral Chakra Beam pierced through Obito's phantom and shot into the sky.

Hinata frowned and said in a deep voice, "He's trying to escape using that Space-time ninjutsu!"

Kakashi and Chiyo didn't move. If Obito used that ability that made him immune to all attacks to sink into the ground, none of the four people present would be able to stop him.

After Obito retreated, Kakashi glanced at Naruto and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

In any case, the fact that Naruto wasn't captured is undoubtedly the best news.

"Hinata..."

Kakashi asked gravely, "Do you still remember that guy's techniques?"

Hinata's mind was completely absorbed in the 'plot,' and only after Kakashi's reminder did Hinata realize, "That's right, that guy is the one who rescued Sasuke in Konoha!"

"Sasuke?"

Naruto shouted, "Hinata, you mean that masked guy stole Sasuke?"

"How can it be repaired!"

Naruto clenched his fists, believing that if Obito hadn't escaped, he would have witnessed the power of the Nine-Tails' rampage.

Kakashi explained, "Although I didn't see the user at the time, that Space-time ninjutsu was indeed the Ninjutsu used to save Sasuke in the end!"

Upon learning the news of Sasuke, Gaara instantly forgot about Gaara, the Naruto.

Hinata had to remind him, "Naruto, I feel the same way you do. I also want to bring Sasuke back, but our mission right now is to rescue Gaara."

"Yes! Gaara!"

Naruto then remembered their mission and hurriedly urged, "Teacher Kakashi, let's go!"

"This is it!"

"Gaara is right behind this rock!"

The four of Hinata stood on the water. In front of them was the entrance to a cave that was ten meters high. The entrance of the cave was blocked by a round boulder. There was also a charm with the word "forbidden" written on it.

After using her Byakugan to scout the area, Hinata explained to Naruto and the others, "There's a barrier blocking the way here!"

"In addition... Akatsuki has already retreated, and only Orochimaru, Sasori, and Gaara remain in the cave."

"And Gaara has already... fallen into a coma."

Hinata didn't continue, but Kakashi and Chiyo clearly already knew what had happened inside.

To avoid Naruto going berserk on the spot, it's indeed not advisable to say anything more at this moment.

Fortunately, Naruto's brain isn't working very well either; he simply couldn't understand Hinata's obvious hints.

But...

Hinata glanced at Naruto was now extremely agitated.

Hinata can probably understand Naruto's feelings.

On their way to catch Gaara, Chiyo and Kakashi had a brief chat about the concept of 'Jinchuriki'. Having learned about Gaara's childhood, Naruto clearly felt a greater understanding and empathy for Gaara.

Especially after hearing that Gaara had become the Kazekage.

Naruto cares deeply about Gaara, his comrade who shares his feelings.

'Boom!'

Naruto slammed a Great Ball Rasengan onto the boulder blocking the cave entrance. The invisible barrier rippled slightly, and not a single scratch appeared on the boulder until the Great Ball Rasengan disappeared.

"This is the 'Five Seal Barrier'."

Kakashi explained, "It is a barrier formed by sticking the charm with the word 'forbidden' in five places around it. In addition to the 'forbidden' charm in front of you, there are four other places with such charms."

"Only by uncovering them simultaneously can this barrier be broken!"

Hearing this, Hinata had to interrupt Kakashi's introduction.

"Please wait a moment!"

"Teacher Kakashi, if we rashly remove the talisman, will anything bad happen?"

Hinata still remembers that in the Original Story, the members of Might Guy's Team were responsible for removing the cursed symbols, and then they created four Stands with the exact same abilities as them.

Hinata couldn't imagine what kind of disaster would befall the world if this barrier created a clone of her with the exact same strength.

No other Ninjutsu is needed.

Imagine two Hinata simultaneously entering Tenseigan Chakra Mode, then wielding golden Chakra lightsabers from the 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion' and slashing at each other.

The scene was absolutely beautiful.

Even the moon can be sliced in half like a watermelon by the 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion'. The Ninja World is much larger than the moon, but if it were sliced a dozen times...

Hinata wasn't sure what the maximum copying limit of this kind of talisman was, but Hinata dared not underestimate abilities like Sealing Jutsu and Barrier Ninjutsu, which completely surpassed all other powers.

Kakashi frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Hinata, what did you find out?"

Hinata: I didn't find anything!

"Teacher Kakashi, you should know that my Byakugan is different from the eyes of the other people in the clan."

Hinata confidently stated, "I can see the locations of the other four talismans, as well as the Chakra flow traces within this barrier... This is no ordinary barrier."

Kakashi dared not underestimate Hinata's intelligence. Although Hinata's personality was unreliable, Hinata strength was not to be underestimated.

That was the ultimate power that was recognized by the Shinobi World only after it changed the landscape of the Shinobi World with countless powerful moves.

Chiyo nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, if it's just to stop the enemy, a regular 'Five Seal Barrier' is useless."

The 'Five Seal Barrier' can only be broken by five people at the same time; the Clone Technique cannot deceive this barrier.

Now, Hinata, Naruto, Kakashi, Chiyo, and a dog named 'Pakkun'... the number is sufficient, but the consequences of rashly removing the talisman are something this world absolutely cannot bear.

Moreover, Orochimaru has now joined the Orochimaru Akatsuki, and given his research on 'jutsu', he might be able to make this barrier even more troublesome.
