Snatching People

Obito Uchiha was naturally unharmed by Kisame's Water Release attack.

A single intangible transformation allowed him to ignore this large-scale Water Release.

Then, after spotting a Mist ninja from the Mist, Obito Uchiha quickly approached them.

Obito Uchiha's first reaction was to kill these Kirigakure Mist ninja who had ambushed him. They dared to provoke him so recklessly; they were really asking for trouble.

Of the Six Great Ninja Villages, Obito Uchiha was least afraid of Kirigakure.

Obito Uchiha had a strong psychological advantage over this ninja village that he had once manipulated.

But just as Obito Uchiha Mist ninja, a thick fog rapidly spread over, obscuring his vision.

"Looks like they came prepared." Obito Uchiha wasn't worried. Although the Sharingan's penetrating power wasn't strong, it was still enough for close combat in the thick fog.

With his vision obscured, Obito Uchiha stopped advancing and remained where he was, ready to respond to any attack from the other side.

Since the Mist ninja are so well-prepared, they must have many more tricks up their sleeves.

Obito Uchiha in place for a few seconds, but the expected attack did not occur.

The next moment, he understood that the Mist ninja had simply come to snatch the child.

"Damn it, White Zetsu, snatch him!" Obito Uchiha commanded the White Zetsu clone on his body.

The White Zetsu clone responded and prepared to relay the order to his companion. But soon, a surprised voice rang out from the White Zetsu.

"I can't steal it anymore; those Mist ninja frozen the water. I can't contact my other clones."

Upon hearing Obito Uchiha looked down and, sure enough, a thick layer of ice had formed beneath the water beneath his feet.

"Ice Release, the Yuki Clan. Using Mist Village Technique to block my vision, and Ice Release to sever the connection between the White Zetsu clone and the ground, truly impressive techniques," Obito Uchiha muttered to himself.

His White Zetsu clone added, "Moreover, in this situation, even if Wind Release: Breakthrough the ice and reconnect with the clone underground, it won't be of any use."

"With the ground already isolated by Ice Release, my other clones will be quickly eliminated once they show themselves."

"Damn it, can't they use Wood Release to break through the ice?" Obito Uchiha roared.

The White Zetsu clone innocently said, "We don't have many of us here. Do we really have to fight them head-on?"

Upon hearing Obito Uchiha finally calmed down. White Zetsu are not known for their individual combat strength; their specialty is reconnaissance.

After Yichen's surprise attack, White Zetsu clone are now few in number; each one used is one less available.

Although the White Zetsu main body is cultivating new clones, the rate of cultivation cannot keep up with the rate of consumption. The total number of White Zetsu clone is constantly decreasing.

It doesn't seem worthwhile to send White Zetsu clone to its death for a few children with mediocre talent.

Fortunately, the most talented group has already been transferred to another dimension.

"Fine, I'll go steal it myself," Obito Uchiha said.

With this in mind, Obito Uchiha stopped targeting the Mist ninja and focused his attention on the children.

Those children hadn't undergone rigorous training and couldn't minimize their noise like the Mist ninja. So Obito Uchiha quickly found the nearest target.

Obito Uchiha the child, grabbed her arm, and quickly transferred her into the Kamui Space.

After determining the location, Obito Uchiha headed straight for the next spot.

After capturing six people, Obito Uchiha and a Mist ninja simultaneously discovered a child.

When Obito Uchiha discovered the child, he also discovered the Mist ninja, who was completely unaware that Obito Uchiha was in a Hollowfied state.

Obito Uchiha a silent, cold laugh. "I don't intentionally seek trouble, but since we've run into each other, you can only blame your bad luck."

Obito Uchiha Sharingan surroundings with his Sharingan, finding no one else, and decided to capture the other party alive.

Using Kamui's intangibility effect, Obito Uchiha silently approached the Mist ninja from behind.

Meanwhile, the Mist ninja was still examining the child in front of her, completely unaware of the danger behind her.

Thud, Obito Uchiha placed his hand on the Mist ninja, and at the same time activated Kamui.

The Mist ninja felt a tremendous suction force coming from the hand behind him. As an Elite Jonin, he didn't even have time to struggle before being pulled towards another dimension by this force.

But at that moment, a sudden change occurred. A thin column of water shot out rapidly from the water near where Obito Uchiha was standing.

The small jet of water shot straight towards Obito Uchiha's head like an arrow.

"Water Release - Water Gun Cannon"

Obito Uchiha aback and immediately stopped his attack on the Mist ninja. He then instantly intangible himself.

Obito Uchiha reacted quickly, but he was still Water Gun Cannon.

If it had been any slower, its entire head would have been smashed through.

While clutching his bleeding wound, Obito Uchiha quickly retreated. At the same time, a name surfaced in his mind: Hozuki Mangetsu.

That's right, the one who just launched the attack was Hozuki Mangetsu, who had been hiding in the water.

To be precise, it is a Water Clone of Hozuki Mangetsu.

Each of the Mist ninja who came this time was accompanied by a Water Clone of Hozuki Mangetsu who had used the Water Release Technique.

The Water Clone used another Water Release on Obito Uchiha's rapidly escaping figure, but this attack had no effect on Obito Uchiha, who was in a holographic state.

"What a pity. If the real body were here, that attack should have pierced his head." The voice of the Water Clone came from the water.

Just as the Mist ninja who had narrowly escaped death was about to speak, he heard Hozuki Mangetsu's Water Clone let out a sound of surprise, and he looked down.

Some rocks had already collected the blood that Obito Uchiha had just spilled.

He recognized this thing; it was the same kind of rock they had sat on on the Porcelain Platform they had flown here on their way.

He looked up at the sky, but there was thick fog all around, and he couldn't see anything.

"Such strong senses, such precise Chakra Control. The Mist Village Technique seems to have no effect on that Tsuchikage's senses," the Mist ninja remarked.

The Hozuki Mangetsu clone in the water responded, clearly sharing the same sentiment.

At this moment, the collected blood, enveloped by the Porcelain Rock, quickly flew into the air.

As it flew, the Porcelain Rock changed shape, eventually forming a sphere.

While Hozuki Mangetsu's clone and the Mist ninja were out of sight, countless runes appeared out of thin air on the rock sphere, quickly sealing the blood inside.

By the time the rock ball reached Yichen, the seal was complete.

Yichen carefully put the rock ball away, then turned his attention back to what was below.

Obito Uchiha narrowly escaped from Hozuki Mangetsu's clutches, has had his wounds healed with the help of the White Zetsu clone and the First Hokage's Cells.

The physical wounds have healed, but the sense of shame in my heart will not disappear so quickly.

"I've been taken advantage of by the Mist ninja again." Obito Uchiha forcibly suppressed the rage deep within him, constantly reminding himself that now was not the time to act impulsively.

After a while, Obito Uchiha calmed down. At that moment, he heard the heavy breathing of a child somewhere.

Activating his intangibility ability, Obito Uchiha in a straight line and quickly approached the source of the sound, where three children were tightly embracing each other.

The three children were wet and dirty, covered in mud and water.

Obito Uchiha ignored the three children's disheveled appearance. Approaching them, he placed his hand on one of them and unleashed Kamui.

But just as the Kamui was halfway through its release, the mud on the children suddenly came to life and transformed into sharp stone spikes.

The stone spike flashed by and pierced Obito Uchiha's right eye.

This happened so suddenly that it completely caught Obito Uchiha.

Yichen hadn't expected it to go so smoothly. His mud contained Chakra, and this kind of sneak attack would normally be ineffective against Obito Uchiha, who possessed the Sharingan.

However, the mist in the air and the water on the ground both contain the caster's Chakra. The presence of this Chakra severely interferes with the Sharingan's ability to judge the enemy through Chakra.

That's how Hozuki Mangetsu managed to evade Obito Uchiha's Sharingan detection and launch a surprise attack.

This time, Obito Uchiha still didn't notice anything wrong with the mud. His attention was focused on the potential appearance of Mist ninja, especially Hozuki Mangetsu might leap out of the water.

The main reason, of course, was that he hadn't expected to encounter Yichen during the Mist ninja's attempt to abduct him.

The moment the stone spike pierced him, Obito Uchiha vanished, leaving behind only three screaming children from Kirigakure.

The three children's screams immediately attracted the attention of the Mist ninja, one of Mist ninja quickly approached.

He was cautious; after carefully checking his surroundings and the condition of the three children, he said to the empty room, "All clear. Nobody here."

His gaze then fell on a few rock spikes, and he said, "It must have been the Tsuchikage who made the move; that Uchiha was probably scared away."

As soon as he finished speaking to himself, a voice suddenly came from the water. "Take the person back first."

"Yes." The Mist ninja who had been muttering to himself responded and quickly left with the three children.

At this moment, Yichen in the sky was taken aback. "Izanagi?"

Obito Uchiha lost his life so quickly?

Obito Uchiha disappeared, and Yichen stopped attacking. Instead, he used a large number of Porcelain Release to enter various corners of the ground battlefield.

After a while, Obito Uchiha still didn't appear.

Most of the Mist ninja were unaware that Obito Uchiha had disappeared; they were still frantically trying to snatch the child.

However, Kisame, whose abilities were somewhat connected to his wide-range Water Release, was puzzled.

"Where are they? Not a single child has disappeared in all this time."

Kisame did not leave the spot; his mission was to protect the children rescued by the Mist ninja.

After quite a while, Obito Uchiha reappeared.

This time, he didn't choose to run away directly. The successive failures had almost driven him to madness, and he charged straight at Kisame.

During the time he just disappeared, he underwent an eye transplant in another dimension. In other words, he temporarily gained an extra life.

Obito Uchiha's thinking was simple, "Aren't you trying to steal someone? You don't have any Space-Time Ninjutsu."

All you can do is gather people together. Why don't I just arrest everyone you've painstakingly gathered?

He had already sensed that Kisame was the only one guarding that place.

In a one-on-one fight, who has Madara Uchiha feared? Even someone as strong as Yellow Flash was still tricked and killed by me.

Kisame Obito Uchiha; he was just a Ninjutsu- type ninja.

Dealing with this kind of ninja would be too easy for me.

Kisame noticed Obito Uchiha approaching and grinned.

Form hand Hand Seals, then bring palms together: Water Release - Super Long Water Dragon Bullet.

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito Uchiha saw a giant water dragon head charging towards him.

The water dragon was incredibly thick; if it weren't for its dragon shape, from Obito Uchiha, it would seem more appropriate to call it a water wall.

"Ignorant." Obito Uchiha forward without dodging or avoiding.

"This kind of attack is useless against me. Once the water dragon's impact ends, that's when I'll rush in front of you and launch my attack."

Obito Uchiha: he would perish together with the Mizukage this time, even if Yichen or Hozuki Mangetsu took the opportunity to attack him, he wouldn't care.

At worst, I can just wait for the Mizukage to die and then revive myself using Izanagi.

Obito Uchiha forward, and a few seconds later...

"Why isn't it over yet?"

Ten seconds later, a minute later.

"Why is this water hose so long?"

Sensing something was wrong, Obito Uchiha shifted to the side, seemingly trying to escape the water dragon's range from the side, but the water dragon followed his movement.

Due to the Water Dragon's robust body, Obito Uchiha was unable to leave quickly.

This gave Kisame enough time to adjust the angle of the Water Dragon Impact.

Three minutes later, Obito Uchiha. What the hell was this? Such a thick and long water dragon, how much Chakra would it consume?

"Is this Fifth Mizukage also Jinchuriki? Aren't the Three-Tails and Six-Tails still in their resurrection period?" Obito Uchiha thought through gritted teeth.

In the air, Yichen was speechless; it turned out there was another way to break through Kamui.

Unfortunately, Kamui's greatest challenge lies in the fact that he cannot be detected by normal Sensory Ninjutsu.

As expected, seeing that he couldn't shake off this attack, Obito Uchiha had no choice but to dive underground.

When Obito Uchiha intangible state, entered the underground, Kisame was completely bewildered.

Without being able to locate Obito Uchiha, it's impossible to continuously attack him with Ninjutsu.

Helpless, Kisame had no choice but to stop using the Super Long Water Dragon Bullet Ninjutsu.

The ground quickly returned to calm, as the mist created by Kisame's Super Long Water Dragon Bullet and the Mist Village Technique in the air also dissipated.

Obito Uchiha reappeared from a distance.

At that moment, he felt all the mystery surrounding his Space-Time Ninjutsu had vanished.

Whether it was the attack that Raiga Kurosuki made when he committed suicide, the Water Gun Cannon that Hozuki Mangetsu, or Kisame's Super Long Water Dragon Bullet, it all shows that in the eyes of the Great Ninja Village, his information was no longer a secret.

Obito Uchiha happened to appear at a spot where there was a child, and he grabbed the child.

However, he did not put the child into the Kamui Space, because at that moment, a wisp of mud, like a happy little mudfish, was hovering in the air beside him.

The mud didn't attack, clearly waiting for the opening when he used his Kamui to transfer the child.

Obito Uchiha away the Chakra in the mud, only to find a small loach swimming rapidly towards him from a short distance away.

Obito Uchiha realized that once people became aware of his Kamui, he felt utterly powerless.

Taking a deep breath, Obito Uchiha looked up at the sky.

Sure enough, there was a Porcelain Platform high in the sky, but Yichen did not show himself on the platform.

Obito Uchiha had no intention of continuing to capture anyone. He threw the child in his arms toward Kisame's location and then used Kamui to teleport himself away.

Yichen could have taken the opportunity to interrupt Obito's Kamui, but Yichen didn't. Since he couldn't stop Obito Uchiha anyway, interrupting Kamui would be pointless.

After the battle ended, the ground beneath the children's feet behind Kisame rapidly rose, revealing that there had been a Porcelain Platform there all along.

Yichen could have transferred the children into the air much earlier, but he wanted to see if Obito Uchiha would take the bait.

As expected, Obito Uchiha charged towards them, only to be struck by Kisame's Ninjutsu, leaving him questioning his own abilities.

The Mist ninja quickly carried the remaining children from all directions to the Porcelain Platform, and also settled the original inhabitants of the village to the side, before jumping onto the Porcelain Platform one by one.

Only after the Porcelain Platform ascended into the air were the children finally free from danger.

However, after the Porcelain Platform took off, Yichen did not fly away immediately.

Yichen created a Shadow Clone, Shadow Clone left his Porcelain Platform, flew to the large platform, walked up to a child, and channeled his Senjutsu Chakra into the child's body.

Then a white, humanoid monster emerged from the child's body.

This was White Zetsu's Spore Technique. Yichen's Shadow Clone easily sealed away this White Zetsu clone.

Subsequently, under the solemn gazes of Kisame and the others, Yichen's Shadow Clone extracted the White Zetsu clone from all the children's bodies in this way.

Then they were printed and packaged one by one.

Then Yichen's Shadow Clone led these White Zetsu clone back to their small platform.

After dispelling the Shadow Clone, Yichen said to Kisame, "Mizukage, I wonder if my role today was as effective as that of Haku?"

Before Kisame Yuki Koru speak, Kisame said directly, "Tsuchikage, thank you for your help this time. From now on, Haku is a member of Iwa ninja, and our Kirigakure will no longer interfere."

"Furthermore, I will arrange for someone to deliver the reward for this mission to Iwagakure after we return to the village."

Kisame is quite generous; it's just an S-rank mission, no need to be stingy.

Yichen smiled and said, "Thank you for your help Mizukage Ying."

After a pause, Yichen continued, "Mizukage, when your Water Release landed in front of the village, that Uchiha had already moved more than a dozen children from one of the rooms."

"Among them was the child with the Red Eyes Bloodline Limit. He then kidnapped six more children, bringing the total to about twenty."

"I'd like to ask if you've rescued Shiro's younger sister, Yuki Kinuyo?"

Kisame couldn't answer that question, and he didn't know who Haku's sister was either.

Kisame turned to look at Yuki Koru, Yuki Koru shook her head and said, "I haven't seen any clothes at all."

Yichen turned to look at Bai beside him, saw that he looked nervous, and sighed.

Afterwards, Yichen led everyone back to the small island where they had first met.

After putting down the Mist ninja and the children, Yichen planned to take his three disciples directly back to Iwagakure.

At that moment, Kisame suddenly said, "Tsuchikage, I wonder if those white monsters are still for sale? I'd like to buy a few to take back for research."

Yichen said, "You Kirigakure are interested in this? Do you know how to study it?"

Kisame said, "We don't know how to study it. We heard that the Tsuchikage once exchanged a... White Zetsu clone with our village?"

"However, back then, when our Fourth Mizukage was controlled by this Uchiha, he should have released that White Zetsu clone."

"I've heard Genji mention this before, so I'd like to exchange a few to take back and study."

Yichen nodded and said, "How about this, one S-rank mission price per animal, how many do you want?"

Kisame smiled and said, "Give me three, I'll pay you the price later."

Yichen nodded and threw three of the sealed White Zetsu clone over.

At that moment, Hozuki Mangetsu suddenly leaned close to Kisame's ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing Kisame Yichen said, "Tsuchikage, you've collected quite a bit of that Uchiha's blood. I wonder if you could exchange half of it with us?"

Yichen was somewhat surprised. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Does the Kirigakure have research related to blood?"

Kisame nodded and said, "There are some, but not many."

After a moment's thought, Yichen immediately said, "Let's exchange it using your research technology."

Kisame answered readily, "No problem."

After completing the transaction, Yichen led his disciples back to Iwagakure.

On the way, Yichen said, "Teacher Yichen, thank you. It's okay that my sister is lost. I will find her myself when I grow up."

Yichen rolled his eyes. By the time you find her, your sister will have already become Obito Uchiha's tool.

However, Yichen could also tell that Bai was comforting him and telling him not to blame himself.

Bai is still the same Bai from the original work, with a very positive reputation; there's no need to worry too much about his character.

Now that his most pressing issue—his stance—has been resolved, Bai can now focus on nurturing him with peace of mind.

Yichen was in a good mood, not having to worry about raising an ungrateful child or doing all the work for someone else.

Of course, it would be even better if his younger sister, Yuki Kinuyo, could be rescued.

This would not only increase Haku's sense of belonging to Iwagakure, but also offer the hope of having another ninja with Ice Release Bloodline Limit.

Yichen said, "I will never think that there is too much to increase the village's strength and cultural heritage."

Yichen began to consider the possibility of bringing the person back from Obito Uchiha.

After returning to the village with his three disciples, Yichen first sent the three disciples, who had done nothing but seen the world, to cultivate on their own.

Then he brought this large group of White Zetsu clone to the laboratory.

Watching the ninjas responsible for guarding the laboratory store the White Zetsu clone in a special storage room, Yichen began to ponder a question: how to utilize these White Zetsu clone.

The first child captured by the Mist ninja this time had a White Zetsu clone inside them. This caused the number of White Zetsu clone in Yichen's possession to increase dramatically.

With the increased quantity, Yichen could no longer treat the White Zetsu clone as rare research items as before.

"For the time being, this matter cannot be left to Orochimaru," Yichen muttered to himself after thinking for a while.
