Bonds?

At the Fourth Hokage statue, Kakashi, having received a reminder from Yichen, quickly arrived in front of Obito Uchiha.

Kakashi didn't attack immediately, but instead planned to start a conversation. "Who are you?"

Obito Uchiha's face was covered by a mask, revealing only one Three-Tomoe Sharingan, which he stared intently at Kakashi.

Seeing that Obito Uchiha remained silent, Kakashi continued, "You are also a member of the Uchiha Clan, why did you attack the village?"

"Do you know that because of you, the Uchiha Clan and the village have become estranged, and now they are like oil and water?"

"You don't deserve the Uchiha clan, you don't deserve the Sharingan."

Obito Uchiha uttered a single sentence. "You have the least right to criticize me."

After saying that, Obito Uchiha took out Kunai, preparing to fight Kakashi.

Kakashi also took out Kunai, and with his other hand, he lifted the Forehead Protector over his left eye, revealing Sharingan with the same Three Tomoe.

He said, "I will not allow you to tarnish the reputation of the Uchiha. I will protect the clan honor that Obito is so proud of."

After saying that, the two began to Kunai, each wielding a kunai.

In this life, Kakashi did not delay his training, while Obito Uchiha Dead Last, had not yet experienced more than ten years of growth.

Therefore, after only a few rounds of fighting, Obito Uchiha was forced to retreat steadily by Kakashi in Taijutsu combat.

However, Obito Uchiha did not use Kamui; he chose to use Taijutsu even if it meant taking a beating.

Fortunately, Obito Uchiha had White Zetsu clone and Hashirama Cells, so the injuries Kakashi inflicted on him had little effect.

Kakashi felt increasingly strange as the fight progressed; why did his battle with this person feel so familiar?

However, Kakashi knew this person was a ruthless ninja, so he didn't hold back.

After a few more rounds, Kakashi Kunai Obito Uchiha.

But what shocked him was that after Obito Uchiha pulled out the Kunai, the wound miraculously healed very quickly.

Taking a deep breath, Kakashi decided to stop Chakra. He Hand Seals, and a burst of lightning gathered in his palms.

Lightning Release: Chidori

Chidori gave Kakashi not only strength, but also faster thrusting speed.

Kakashi dodged Obito Uchiha's Great Fireball Jutsu by flashing to the side. Then, Kakashi used Chidori in conjunction with his Three-Tomoe Sharingan to charge towards Obito Uchiha.

Obito Uchiha, who was already inferior to Kakashi, was completely powerless to resist this attack without using the abilities of his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Soon, Kakashi pierced his heart with a single blow.

Kakashi, who had pierced Obito Uchiha's heart, felt no joy, only a pang of pain. It was as if he had lost something extremely precious, just like when he used Chidori to pierce Rin Nohara.

Kakashi was distracted, while Obito Uchiha used Kamui to escape after his heart ruptured.

Before leaving, Obito Uchiha seemed to hear Kakashi muttering to himself: Obito.

However, Obito Uchiha in an even worse state at this moment, and he was unsure whether what he heard was correct.

Upon arriving in the Kamui Space, Obito Uchiha did not activate Izanagi. Instead, with his last strength, he tore the head of the White Zetsu clone from his body and, to the clone's bewildered expression, cast Genjutsu.

Then, this White Zetsu clone exhausted its own life force, and with the help of Hashirama Cells from the right half of Obito Uchiha's body, repaired his shattered heart.

On the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of the Falls, two thousand Iwa ninja are cleaning up the battlefield.

The 1,500 Konoha ninja had blocked their path had all been killed, while the Iwa ninja suffered only minor casualties.

The victorious Iwa ninja were thrilled whenever they thought about the massive Earth Style Ninjutsu that Kitsuchi had used in the previous battle.

Everyone was excitedly discussing it.

"So Lord Kitsuchi has also become Kage Level expert! That's great!"

"Yes, the Bi-Monthly Report is right. The rise of our Iwagakure will be in the Fifth Ninja World War."

"Including Lord Kitsuchi, our village already has four Kage Level, surpassing Konoha."

"Yes, the village has actually risen to power. The Bi-Monthly Report says that if it weren't for the Lord Tsuchikage's love of peace, we would have been the new overlords of the Ninja World long ago," a young Genin said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly sensed that something was off about the atmosphere around him.

He looked around at the senior figures around him and asked doubtfully, "Am I wrong?"

The group exchanged glances for a moment, then quickly echoed each other.

"Yes, yes, you're right."

"Yes, that's right, Lord Tsuchikage loves peace!"

"The Lord Tsuchikage certainly loves peace; I'll fight anyone who opposes him."

Despite having everyone's support, the young Genin still felt something was off.

In this First Shinobi War, Kitsuchi displayed his Kage Level strength for the first time.

Although Kitsuchi is Kage Level, he doesn't have anything particularly special about him.

Loess only has two attributes, and the second attribute has not been developed much, so loess can only do earth escape.

However, Kitsuchi is very adept at using Earth Release is a type of escape technique).

If faced with an opponent of the same Kage Level, the Kitsuchi, with its relatively limited offensive and defensive capabilities, may find it difficult to gain an advantage.

However, when it comes to bullying ninjas below the Kage Level, Kitsuchi's wide-range Earth Style Ninjutsu is very suitable.

Although there were many Konoha ninja, the Kitsuchi was easily harvested with the help of two thousand Iwa ninja.

They never expected to encounter a Kage Level in this team. Before Konoha could even arrange a retreat, their escape route was blocked by a large-scale Earth Release.

"Lord Kitsuchi, the battlefield has been cleaned up. Shall we continue to the Land of Lightning or the Land of Water?" An Elite Jonin to inquire about the next steps.

Kitsuchi shook his head and said, "We're not going. We've wasted too much time trying to annihilate Konoha's ninja army. If we go to the Land of Lightning now, we definitely won't be able to catch up with the battle."

"The village is poorly defended; let's head back first. We can't let our guard down with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of the Cloud ninja."

The Elite Jonin asked, puzzled, "Lord Kitsuchi, it hasn't been long. Even including the time spent cleaning up the battlefield, it's less than a day."

In the past, a Ninja World War could easily last for several years, so a day is really nothing. The supplies carried by the two thousand Iwa ninja Two Thousand Army were calculated based on two months' worth of expenses.

Kitsuchi shook his head and said, "This war is different. Before going to Konoha, the Lord Tsuchikage gave instructions that this might be the shortest-lasting Ninja World War, possibly lasting only a few days in total."

"Furthermore, in the early stages, all the raids will be completed by each village on the first day, because everyone will be on the move that day."

"Once the Kage of each village are free to act, our ninja forces operating alone will be ineffective."

"Yes." The Elite Jonin, though not entirely understanding, went to relay the order.

Kirigakure.

Two-Tails Jinchuriki Yugito, has Complete Tailed Beast Transformation.

The enormous size of Matatabi (Two-Tails) put immense pressure on both sides engaged in battle nearby.

However, the fully-formed Two-Tails did not significantly improve the precarious situation for the Cloud ninja.

Ikura created four Shadow Clones and unleashed a combo attack on the Two-Tails, which had just revealed its full form.

"Great Five Elemental Bullet Technique"

Ikura, along with her four Shadow Clones, unleashed five different elemental Ninjutsu.

Five different A-rank Ninjutsu!

The most distinctive feature of the Great Five Elemental Bullet Technique is that when the five elements are mixed and fused together, they both enhance and repel each other.

This chaotic state eventually caused the five attributes to completely spiral out of control, resulting in a massive explosion.

Under Ikura's control, the explosion point of the Great Five Elemental Bullet Technique was precisely on the Two-Tails Matatabi.

A massive explosion knocked the fully-formed Two-Tails almost unconscious.

Ikura used this Five Release Great Combo Technique three times in a row.

Three massive explosions instantly reduced the fully evolved Two-Tails to Yugito's original form.

Darui sensed something was wrong when Ikura unleashed her first Five Release Great Combo Technique.

He immediately issued the order to withdraw his troops, and at the same time ordered Shia to get rid of Hozuki Mangetsu and go to meet the Fourth Raikage.

However, it was extremely difficult for the Cloud ninja were entangled together, to retreat.

The original Five Thousand Army had already suffered considerable losses in the fighting, and in this hasty retreat, less than half of the ninjas ultimately returned from this mountainous area.

Moreover, the Mist Ninja main force quickly dealt with the Cloud ninja who had been bogged down in the mountains and pursued them again.

Ignoring the fleeing Cloud ninja, Darui saw that Ikura was about to seal Yugito, so he quickly activated the Cloud ninja's secret Lightning Release Chakra Mode, rushed to Yugito's side, picked her up, and ran away.

Seeing this, Ikura unleashed several Ninjutsu in succession, but none of them hit Darui.

"It's actually Lightning Release Chakra Mode. Although it's not perfect and doesn't have the overwhelming power of the Fourth Raikage's all-around offense and defense, its speed is really fast," Ikura exclaimed.

At that moment, on the other side of the Mist Ninja Army, Tomoko quickly arrived at Ikura's side with six disciples and asked, "Senior Ikura, are you alright?"

Ikura nodded and said, "I'm fine."

After glancing at Tomoko other six, and seeing that none of them were seriously injured, Ikura said, "Let's go after the Cloud ninja."

"Although the Cloud ninja suffered heavy losses this time, it was different from what we expected. If things go smoothly on other battlefields, the Iwa ninja Cloud ninja will be our greatest enemy."

"So it's good to kill a few more Cloud ninja now."

After thinking for a moment, Tomoko said, "The Cloud ninja just used Senjutsu went in the direction we came from; he must have gone to meet the Raikage."

"Instead of chasing after ordinary Cloud ninja, we should go check on the Raikage."

Ikura said, "The Raikage is too fast and has amazing defense. We can't catch up with him, and we're more likely to be killed by him at close range."

Tomoko said, "I can Sensory Ninjutsu. We'll strike from the shadows. Our goal isn't to kill the Raikage, but to kill the one who knows Senjutsu."

Ikura's heart skipped a beat. After looking around at the terrain, he said, "Alright, let's go there. The Raikage will definitely come to join his subordinates when he retreats."

"Without the Raikage, his thousands of subordinates won't be able to leave the Land of Water safely. Let's go hide over there and wait for the Raikage to come."

Tomoko looked at the location Ikura pointed to, then calculated her own sensory range and nodded.
