Obito, Where Are You?

Hidden Cloud Village Battlefield!

"Sensei, can we really defeat the Third Raikage?"

"Against an opponent of that level, shouldn't Lord Hokage come personally?"

Holding the White Fang, Kakashi Hatake turned to Minato Namikaze beside him and asked.

"Kakashi, don't be afraid. Sensei will keep you safe..."

Minato Namikaze reassured him softly.

At that moment, an ANBU appeared before Minato.

"For Lord Hokage's eyes only!"

Minato hurriedly took the scroll. At that moment, he dearly wished Lord Hokage would come in person!

Otherwise, he would have to face the pressure of four Kage-level Hidden Cloud Village fighters alone!

Even as the Yellow Flash, he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

What made things even more nerve-racking was that the A-B combination was the kind where one plus one was greater than two.

On top of that, there was the Third Raikage and Yugito Nii.

How could he possibly win?

The instant he opened the scroll, Minato Namikaze's brow furrowed even deeper!

There was no message saying Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi would personally come. Instead, Hiruzen Sarutobi was sending several dozen Jonin as reinforcements.

In summary, it said one thing: "Your unit is on its own."

Minato Namikaze frowned deeply.

Ever since Minato Namikaze had stepped onto this Hidden Cloud Village battlefield, thick with the stench of smoke and blood,

his handsome brows had remained tightly furrowed beneath a heavy cloud of gloom, never relaxing for even a moment.

Now, when Minato Namikaze looked at the order in his hand from Hiruzen Sarutobi, an indescribable sense of disappointment rose within him.

Minato had originally expected that Hiruzen Sarutobi, the highly revered Hokage of Konoha,

would charge into battle without hesitation when faced with such a fierce attack from someone as powerful as the Third Raikage.

Yet the order before him left him somewhat disappointed.

"Sensei, what did Lord Hokage say?"

Kakashi Hatake asked impatiently.

Minato Namikaze quickly packed his bag.

"Kakashi, Lord Hokage can't come support us because of other matters. We can only face Hidden Cloud Village on our own!"

Minato Namikaze said solemnly.

At those words, Kakashi's eyes widened.

What?!

He and his sensei were supposed to fight four Kage-level fighters, plus Hidden Cloud Village's elite Jonin?!

Forget his sensei—even the Second Hokage would probably need a while to deal with that, wouldn't he?

"Ugh!"

Minato Namikaze sighed softly. He thought of his disciple, Obito Uchiha, who had gone to Dragon Cave to train four years ago and had not been seen since.

"I wonder how far Obito has progressed in his training... With the Dragon Cave Sage Art, he's probably about as strong as I am now..."

Minato Namikaze glanced at Kakashi.

Kakashi was quite talented too. Once he matured, he would surely become an all-around fighter!

Kakashi was already very strong. Without the limitations of the Sharingan, he had learned the Flying Thunder God. Combined with the Rasengan and Hatake Swordsmanship, he could exchange a few moves even with Kage-level opponents.

In the past, a squad was usually made up of one dead last, one genius, and one fairly outstanding girl.

Who would have thought the squad he led had two geniuses!

"Let's go, Kakashi. We need to lead Konoha's main force against the Third Raikage's troops!"

Minato Namikaze intended to defeat them one by one.

Boom!

Just as Minato Namikaze led Konoha's forces to intercept the Third Raikage, the A-B combination had already led several dozen elite Jonin in a surprise assault within the Land of Fire!

Land of Fire Battlefield!

The deafening roar of exploding tags echoed one after another.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thick, dazzling bolts of lightning danced wildly through the air like silver serpents, tearing apart the very air in their path!

Lightning Release: Lightning Shot!

A group of ninja clad in gray uniforms and wearing Hidden Cloud Village forehead protectors unleashed powerful Lightning Release techniques.

In an instant, countless blue electric beams poured down like a torrential rain, carrying terrifying power as they shot straight toward the Konoha ninja formation waiting ahead in battle readiness.

Faced with this sudden and ferocious attack, the Konoha ninja hurriedly used every defensive measure they could to resist!

Earth Release: Great Earthflow Wall!

Earthen walls rose one after another!

Yet they ultimately could not fully withstand the unstoppable Lightning Release.

The lightning lingered on the earthen walls for only a second before instantly breaking through them!

In the blink of an eye, Konoha's defensive line was brutally torn open with a massive breach.

At that moment, a red and a blue figure suddenly appeared on the battlefield!

The blue figure had dark skin, explosive muscles, yellow hair, and a small mustache on his chin.

"Man! Hahaha, Konoha ninja, out!"

Like a bolt of lightning, A charged through the battlefield. Dozens of Konoha ninja were sent flying by his elbows!

"Six Paths bless us, gold and silver mountains all around..."

"Six Paths says don't mind the Shinobi World's tigers and dragons fighting..."

Killer B rapped as he slaughtered Konoha ninja, looking utterly at ease. Anyone who did not know better would have thought he had carried speakers onto the battlefield.

"This is bad! It's the A-B brothers!"

"Damn it! Why is it them?"

The instant Konoha's ninja saw the A-B combination, their formation fell into chaos!

Among those ninja were Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai, Rin Nohara, Izumo Kamizuki, Kotetsu Hagane, and many others from the same generation as Obito Uchiha.

Might Guy, Gekko Hayate, Ebisu, and the others had been sent to the Hidden Mist Village battlefield.

As Killer B and A attacked, the Konoha ninja were like lambs awaiting slaughter, killed one after another!

"What should we do?"

Rin Nohara looked through teary eyes at the Konoha ninja falling around her one after another.

She had come along as a medical ninja. Because of the disparity in strength, Rin Nohara had come here as a medical ninja.

After all, Obito Uchiha was training at Dragon Cave, while Kakashi was carrying out high-difficulty missions with Minato. Bringing her along would only make her a burden, so she could only serve as a medical ninja.

"Damn it! Uncle Shinku Yūhi, haven't the reinforcements that old man sent arrived yet? At this rate, we won't be able to hold on!"

Asuma's face was filled with anxiety as he tightly gripped the pair of blue-glowing chakra blades in his hands and shouted toward Shinku Yūhi, who wore an equally grave expression beside him.

The moment Shinku Yūhi heard Asuma's question, his face turned extremely ugly.

He gritted his teeth and slowly shook his head.

"I don't know either, Asuma. Logically speaking, the reinforcements should have arrived long ago... But there hasn't been any movement at all."

After saying that, Shinku Yūhi could not help letting out a heavy sigh.

Yuhi Kurenai, who had been standing not far behind Shinku Yūhi, suddenly spoke.

Her beautiful face was filled with worry and fear, and her voice brimmed with despair and pessimism. "Father, do you think... anyone will really come to support us? Could it be... they've abandoned us?"

Shinku Yūhi abruptly turned to look at his daughter. A trace of pain flashed through his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

He took a deep breath, then shouted with all his strength, "Don't be afraid! Children! Lord Hokage will never abandon us! He will definitely send people to support us! Everyone, grit your teeth and hold on! As long as we can last a little longer, the reinforcements will surely arrive!"

Yet although Shinku Yūhi shouted himself hoarse, everyone present could hear that his voice had long since betrayed his lack of confidence.

Rin Nohara's delicate body trembled slightly as tears spilled from her eyes.

"Obito... where are you?"

Rin Nohara called Obito's name in a trembling voice so unsteady it was nearly out of tune.

Yet the only response she received was the endless chorus of screams and explosions, along with the sound of bodies being smashed apart.
