"Damn, are Konoha brats all this troublesome?"
Faced with Great Dragon Fire Techniques attacking from different directions, Mahiru and Sumashi had no chance to raise an Earth Style Wall for defense.
"Looks like we can only put up a barrier."
"Earth Release Barrier: Earth Prison Dome."
Mahiru and Sumashi poured all their strength into it. The two Jonin frantically channeled their chakra into the ground. A circular earthen wall rose up around them, eventually forming a prison that enclosed them in a sealed space and protected them inside.
The technique had originally been meant to trap opponents, but they'd found a new use for it. Iwagakure certainly had plenty of tricks.
The Earth Prison Dome also had some clear advantages when used for defense.
Though the four fire dragons kept pounding against it, damaging the earthen prison, the damaged sections could repair themselves by absorbing the caster's chakra, slowing Shisui's assault.
"Break!"
Under Shisui's control, the four fire dragons stopped probing and launched their final attack on the earthen prison.
"Boom..."
Shisui Uchiha's full-powered strike blasted away most of the earthen prison. Mahiru and Sumashi were caught in the explosion, suffering internal injuries.
Special Jōnin Sumashi was the worst off. He collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
"Genjutsu: Sharingan."
Shisui's Sharingan activated in an instant. Under the cold, domineering mental pressure of his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he quickly learned from the enemy's mind where Rin Nohara was being held.
Then Shisui ended the lives of the two Iwagakure Jonin with a pair of kunai.
[The host has been detected killing Mahiru and Sumashi, slightly altering the original story. Reward: Earth Release proficiency +10%] [System unlocked elemental proficiency] [The higher the proficiency, the less chakra elemental ninjutsu consumes, the greater its power, and the easier it is to control chakra shape transformation] [Name: Shisui Uchiha] [Age: 7] [Bloodline: Indra Bloodline (40% developed) — Three-Tomoe Sharingan] [Chakra: A (Jonin level)] [Chakra Natures: Fire · Proficient (5%), Wind · Normal (0%), Earth · Normal (10%), Lightning · Normal (0%)] [Skills: Body Flicker Technique, Substitution Technique, Phantom Body Flicker Technique, Great Fireball Technique, Great Dragon Fire Technique, Genjutsu: Sharingan, Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique...] [Items: Konoha Chunin Gear]
Aside from his Fire Release proficiency, which was proficient, Shisui's Wind and Earth Release proficiencies were both normal.
That was why the power and number of his Great Dragon Fire Techniques could both be doubled.
"I've found Rin Nohara's location. We don't have time to waste. Do your best to keep up."
"Shisui, wait for us! I can barely keep up."
Kakashi was injured, and Obito was a dead last. They were about to fall farther and farther behind Shisui.
"Rin Nohara's alone in enemy hands. Aren't you worried something might happen to her?"
Shisui Uchiha, who knew the future, of course knew Rin Nohara hadn't been hurt.
But for some reason, the thought that Obito Uchiha was also one of the culprits behind the Uchiha clan's annihilation made Shisui want to tease him.
"That's right. Rin's all alone right now. She must be lonely and scared. We have to hurry and rescue her."
Thinking of his beloved, Obito Uchiha seemed to get a shot of adrenaline and instantly returned to his best condition.
"Kakashi, you dead last! Rin's in danger, and you're still bringing up the rear?"
"Kakashi, stop holding us back."
Kakashi: "???"
But Kakashi was already exhausted. Otherwise, he would've made Obito understand that even with his Two-Tomoe Sharingan activated, he was still no match for him.
Obito didn't give Kakashi the chance. He scooped up the incapacitated Kakashi, slung him over his shoulder, and raced after Shisui.
As Shisui Uchiha marveled at Obito's potential, he noticed the two tomoe in Obito's eyes spinning faster and faster. As his visual prowess continued to rise, it seemed he was on the verge of evolving into a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
If Shisui Uchiha was a genius in everyone's eyes, then Obito Uchiha was a monster in Shisui's.
Unfortunately, everyone had a different fate. Some were born in Rome, while others were born to toil.
"We're here. Rin Nohara's in that cave up ahead."
Shisui sensed Rin Nohara's chakra inside the cave, but couldn't detect the Iwagakure Ninja.
The enemy must have set a trap inside the cave, waiting for them to walk right in.
Naturally, that sort of job was best left to Obito.
"Rin, I'm here. Don't be scared."
Sure enough, as soon as Obito learned Rin was in the cave, he dropped Kakashi on the ground and ran inside, shouting.
Kakashi: "???"
"Obito, I'm fine."
Once inside the cave, Obito found Rin Nohara completely unharmed.
Before Kakkō could get any information out of Rin Nohara, the three of them had caught up.
"Obito, watch out!"
Just as Obito was untying Rin, a flash of steel came at him from behind.
"I got him! Hm? No, that's not right."
Kakkō had thought his attack had landed, but suddenly realized that the Obito Uchiha before him had turned into a wooden log.
"Did you really think I was stupid, Obito? I prepared a Substitution Technique a long time ago, just waiting for you to show yourself."
"Now it's my turn to attack."
Obito's Sharingan had already locked onto Kakkō. He thrust the kunai in his hand toward Kakkō's vitals.
"Ah, no!"
Unexpectedly, Kakkō grabbed Rin Nohara and pulled her in front of himself.
Seeing this, Obito hurriedly checked his attack and caught Rin Nohara as she began to fall.
"Rin, a-are you okay?"
It was his first time being so close to his beloved. Obito's Sharingan spun rapidly again, and his face turned beet red.
If Obito had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan at that moment, he might even have manifested some strange new ability.
Meanwhile, Kakkō took the opportunity to escape to the cave entrance.
"Earth Release: Rock Shelter Collapse."
As chakra flooded into the cave walls, the rocks in the ceiling began to fall.
In the original story, Obito Uchiha had been pinned beneath the rocks on one side of his body and nearly died there.
"Earth Release: Earth Prison Dome."
This time, Shisui Uchiha was the one who used the technique.
During his battle with Mahiru and Sumashi, Shisui had already copied it with his Sharingan.
Now he could use it to protect Obito and Rin inside the cave.
"Another Konoha brat, huh? Now there are only two of you left. I'm going to... Ugh..."
Before Kakkō could finish speaking, a kunai sliced through his throat. It was Shisui's Body Flicker Technique.
[The host has been detected killing Kakkō and rescuing Obito Uchiha. Mission complete.] [Reward: Indra Bloodline development increased by 10%] [Accept reward?]
