First 2000 Characters, Showing I Haven't Cut It, This Plot Is Almost Conceived

A while later, Kakashi and Obito pushed through the layers of inexplicable obstacles that had appeared and successfully reached Konoha's camp, which was under complete lockdown. Only then did their hearts ease slightly.

To be honest, they had truly been afraid that the sudden increase in ninja around them was aimed at them—because that would mean Rin was in extraordinary danger!

Of course, she was still in danger now.

So, to get past the camp inspection, Obito directly activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and proved his identity to the ninja screening people at the perimeter, then rushed straight toward Minato's tent.

"Sorry, we have something urgent. Forgive the offense." Kakashi pressed his hands together and bowed to the inspecting ninja in apology.

"It's fine. Just remember to come back and make up for it later."

"Mm, thank you." With that, Kakashi chased after Obito.

Strictly speaking, what the two of them had done was against regulations. Even if there was no problem with their identities, if the people above investigated it, the ninja in charge of inspection would absolutely take the blame.

But there was no helping it. In emergencies, rules bent to circumstances.

As Minato's students, they were still familiar faces. Three had gone out, two had come back, and they were this tense—anyone could more or less understand. Most importantly, their identities really were fine. Otherwise, no matter how urgent it was, they would not have let them through.

At least, that was
