Two Possibilities (3/4)

Bang!

Bang!

Two clouds of white smoke burst up beside and behind Chiba as his Shadow Clones dispelled.

Hmm, combining the calculations and results from the Shadow Clones' memories, three and a half days. The safest course is to reach the place where they will meet with disaster within three and a half days, then lie in wait. Once I get there, there are two possibilities. First, I run into those two Iwagakure Ninja. There will probably be a difficult battle. That Earth Release: Camouflage Concealment is troublesome. After all, I don't have the Byakugan or Sharingan to see Chakra. And although those two Iwa ninja did not seem particularly strong in the side story, the databook says they are powerful Iwagakure ninja. One of them even ranks quite highly in Iwagakure in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu—a top-tier Iwa expert.

The second possibility is that I lie in wait there until Kakashi, Obito, and the others arrive, and only then do those two Iwagakure Jonin appear, avoiding that difficult battle.

The second possibility is fine. But with the first, I might change history by fighting Kakashi, Obito, and Rin's destined opponents ahead of time, perhaps even killing one of them. Kakashi, Obito, and Rin might then encounter other fatal attacks somewhere else, or before they reach that point.

The best course is to wait until Kakashi and Obito truly enter this bamboo forest and encounter the two Jonin. After a battle, Rin will be kidnapped, and after the two of them give chase, I will kill the remaining Jonin using Earth Style: Rock Destruction at the moment they save Rin. At the most critical moment, I will change the fate of the three of them. And from the successful completion of the Kannabi Bridge mission until we return to the
