What If I Get Caught, I'll Pull Out His Oxygen Tube!

Yamanaka Masato led the troops to intercept these Iwa Ninja, while Uchiha Kei led Hyuga Aya and Imai Kenta to break out and rescue Kakashi. The matter was thus decided.

However, Uchiha Kei noticed that Hyuga Aya and Imai Kenta seemed to have some opinions about his decision, but neither of them spoke up immediately.

It was clear that they still didn't fully trust Uchiha Kei—after all, people like them wouldn't trust someone like him.

But they still had to seriously consider Uchiha Kei's judgment. After all, the fact that he had guessed the true nature of this mission from the start showed a level of judgment that was crucial for their survival.

Soon, their group caught up. Under Yamanaka Masato's leadership, the Konoha Ninja launched the first attack on the Iwa Ninja.

Although these Iwa Ninja were rushing on their way and seemed a bit careless, their vigilance had not been completely relaxed.

Despite the surprise attack, which resulted in the loss of one or two of them, their counterattack was fierce and effective. In the blink of an eye, the Konoha Ninja were locked in battle with the Iwa Ninja.

Taking advantage of this moment, Uchiha Kei immediately took action, bypassing the frontal battlefield and charging at full speed towards Kakashi's location.

"Why choose this mission?" Hyuga Aya asked directly after they had put some distance between themselves and the main force. "The situation with Kakashi right now is far from optimistic."

"Is that so? How many Iwa Ninja are there on their side now?" Uchiha Kei didn't answer Hyuga Aya's question immediately, instead inquiring about the current situation.

"There are more than ten, even close to twenty, heading in his direction," Hyuga Aya replied. "Moreover, Uchiha Obito has been buried by rocks. He's not dead yet, but his life force is extremely weak. Now, only Kakashi and Nohara Rin remain, and Minato Jonin's status is still unknown."

"Very well, let's speed up," Uchiha Kei nodded, and then increased his speed considerably.

This action left Hyuga Aya and Imai Kenta somewhat stunned. Was he really going to save them?

Did this guy not hear how many people were over there?

To be honest, they were all in the same boat now. No matter how much they disliked each other, or even if they sometimes wanted to fight, they knew too much about each other.

If any one of them died, the remaining people would be implicated and investigated. This meant they were forced to cooperate and help each other.

"Shouldn't we hide?" Hyuga Aya frowned. "We're all in this together; if something happens to one of us, the others won't last long!"

"I think we should be more cautious, Captain," Imai Kenta couldn't help but chime in.

"What idiots," Uchiha Kei sneered dismissively. "Do you remember what the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and his brother said about Minato Jonin on the Kumogakure battlefield? And what is Minato Jonin's specialty Ninjutsu? If a ninja like that were on the frontal battlefield..."

"You mean... he went to support the frontal battlefield?" Hyuga Aya was no idiot; she immediately thought of something. "Flying Thunder God Technique, can it reach that far?"

Uchiha Kei didn't know how to answer this question, but the range of the Flying Thunder God Technique was definitely much farther than imagined!

Uchiha Kei remembered that during the Fourth Shinobi World War, those former Hokage guards relied on an incomplete Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport the Hokage.

Furthermore, the Fourth Hokage had later teleported a behemoth like the Nine-Tails out of Konohagakure.

So, the distance was not a concern at all. Anyway, if nothing unexpected happened, Namikaze Minato should be back soon.

"You're gambling," Hyuga Aya said with a thoughtful and somewhat solemn expression. "You have no idea what the situation on the frontal battlefield is like right now."

"Indeed, I am gambling, and I am also gambling whether Minato Jonin cares so much about his disciples," Uchiha Kei said softly as he walked, "Don't forget, Obito is an Uchiha, and Kakashi is a Hatake."

"But the Konoha White Fang is no longer here, and Obito doesn't have the Sharingan, just like you." Hyuga Aya looked at Uchiha Kei as if he were an idiot, but the next moment her expression changed: "How is this possible?"

At this moment, through Hyuga Aya's Byakugan, she clearly saw that Kakashi's left eye contained the same Chakra. It was obvious that it was not Kakashi's eye!

Did Uchiha Obito awaken it?

How is this possible? Why is it in Kakashi's eye?

Moreover, Hyuga Aya also noticed that Kakashi had a strange Kunai on him. That Kunai...

"I probably understand what you mean."

Hyuga Aya nodded: "Kakashi has Minato Jonin's Flying Thunder God mark. I think as long as his Chakra is infused, it will attract Minato Jonin's attention. But how did you know Uchiha Obito would awaken the Sharingan?"

"I am also an Uchiha," Uchiha Kei sneered, "The way the Sharingan awakens is quite extreme. I'm afraid even the Hokage knows this, so how could I not know? Let's speed up. I'm afraid there's nowhere better than being near Minato Jonin in this place."

"Indeed, but since you know how the Sharingan awakens, why are you still like this?"

"Yeah, Captain, if you had the Sharingan, maybe we would be better off?"

"Shut up."

Uchiha Kei had no intention of answering these two guys. He couldn't tell them that he already had the Sharingan, but he just didn't dare to use it, could he?

Although they were very smart, Uchiha Kei didn't believe they would know about the persistent illness that existed between the Uchiha Clan and Konoha.

If Uchiha Kei told them that in a few more years, the Uchiha Clan would only have Uchiha Sasuke left and everyone else would be dead, they would definitely think Uchiha Kei was crazy.

They moved forward in silence. With Hyuga Aya providing Uchiha Kei with information about their surroundings, they were not worried about encountering any trouble.

However, as they got closer, they seemed to hear that ear-piercing screeching sound.

Uchiha Kei could determine that it was definitely the sound of Chidori. He didn't need Hyuga Aya to check anything; Uchiha Kei knew that the main force of the Iwa Ninja had probably found them.

He made a gesture to Hyuga Aya and Imai Kenta, and they immediately drew their weapons.

Since they were going to rescue, they naturally had to do it well. Their goal was to ensure they were not fatally injured while also striking the enemy.

At worst, they could stall the enemy and wait for Namikaze Minato's rescue, or they could retreat with Kakashi and the others.

However, the second method was more dangerous and was not within Uchiha Kei's consideration at all. He was just joking with Yamanaka Masato.

"Let's end this quickly," Uchiha Kei thought to himself, "But if Madara also captures me, should I go and pull out his oxygen tube?"
