Fire Release Flame Song
"Lin... you go first! We'll hold them off!!"
Obito was fighting three opponents alone, and the situation was extremely dangerous, but he was still shouting loudly for Rin to run away quickly.
His calls went unanswered.
"Long Ye! You must be waiting for me in another world now, right?"
Lin muttered to herself, tears streaming down her face, and leaped towards Kakashi.
This was her only option.
Having her Tailed Beast sealed away, she has become a tool for others to destroy Konoha. She would rather die than see Konoha suffer devastating destruction because of her.
Her sudden lunge caught everyone off guard.
Kakashi, in particular, was using Chidori to launch a swift attack on a Mist Ninja. His attention was highly focused during the fight, and Chidori had already locked onto the opponent's heart, determined to kill with a single blow.
But unexpectedly, a figure suddenly ran from the side and blocked his way.
Instinctively, he assumed that other Mist Ninja had come to intercept and kill him, and subconsciously unleashed Chidori.
In Chidori form, Kakashi's eyes were blinded by the dazzling lightning, making it impossible for him to see anything in front of him, because he was not Sharingan at that time.
"Kakashi..."
Suddenly, Obito's startled shout came from behind.
Kakashi was unaware of the reason, and the attack speed of Chidori did not decrease in the slightest.
"No..."
Obito screamed hysterically.
Lin saw blinding flashes of lightning and heard a sound like Chidori chirping.
"Kakashi, I didn't realize you'd become so strong!"
With a relieved smile, Lin slowly closed her eyes, accepting the approach of death with equanimity.
Time seemed to stand still.
Kakashi, who was fighting fiercely without understanding what was going on, Obito, who was dumbfounded and utterly horrified, and even the other Mist Ninja were all shocked.
Their mission was to take this person to Konoha, release the Tailed Beast at the closest point to the Konohagakure, and use their power to destroy Konoha in one Tailed Beast swoop.
If she dies here, all our efforts will be in vain.
Sizzle...
A burst of intense light from the lightning struck a body squarely.
"Ah!!"
A gasp suddenly rang out.
Obito and Kakashi were both dumbfounded.
The most surprised person was Lin. Just when he thought his heart was about to be pierced, he suddenly felt someone pull him into their arms.
When she opened her eyes in surprise, they widened in shock, and she stood frozen in place.
"Oboro, Long Ye!!"
Obito, Kakashi, and Rin all wore the same expression and muttered to themselves in unison.
The arrival of the Long Ye went unnoticed by anyone.
Because his speed is so great, it even surpasses the Body Flicker Technique.
He rushed as fast as he could, and finally managed to stand in front of Lin in the last second.
"Cough!!"
Long Ye coughed lightly, and a mouthful of blood welled up in her throat.
Because everything happened in the blink of an eye, there was no time for him to defend himself. He used his own body to block Kakashi's Chidori.
Obito and the other two were stunned.
In their minds, a person who had already passed away had actually appeared alive before them, and just like three months ago, he had saved Lin from her life-or-death crisis as if a god had descended.
"Long... Long Ye, weren't you already..."
Lin, held in Long Ye's arms, stared blankly at the familiar face so close to her.
Blood trickled from the corner of Long Ye mouth, but she managed a weak smile, "I rushed back from hell to save you, so what reason do you have not to live on with strength!"
"It really is him!!"
Lin cried out in her heart.
Her eyes, which had been empty and lifeless before, burst forth with unprecedented vitality.
At this moment!
The first to react were the Kirigakure Ninja.
These people were secretly startled by the sudden appearance of the reinforcements, but when they saw that Long Ye was injured, the others looked stunned and took the opportunity to launch an attack.
Despite the potentially fatal injuries, Long Ye forced himself to use the Mysterious Peacock Method, causing his chakra to Chakra forth, and a "Tengu" materialized before him.
Perhaps due to his physical transformation, or perhaps due to the increase in his Chakra, the Tengu he manifested at this time had completely shed its "Tengu" form and evolved into a true Tengu.
In Shinobi World mythology, "Tengu" refers to a type of monster, not a specific one.
Even among Tengu, there are different ranks.
The Tengu is ranked in the lower tier and is a subordinate of the Tengu. The Tengu is not the strongest; there is an even stronger one: the legendary great demon, the Great Tengu.
The evolved Tengu's appearance changed. Although it was still humanoid and still had black wings, its raven face was gone, and it became more human-like.
However, his red face and high nose made him look somewhat strange and unconventional.
In addition, the long sword he was carrying had disappeared, replaced by a Samurai Sword tucked at his waist.
The Tengu leans forward, assuming a sword-drawing stance.
As the Kirigakure ninja surrounded him, he unleashed a mid-air sword draw slash.
Laugh!!
A tearing sound echoed through the void.
The three Mist Ninja charging at the forefront had their Ninjutsu rendered useless, as they were all wiped out with a single strike.
The Chakra Samurai Sword the three ninjas in two with the ease of cutting paper.
Just as the remaining Mist Ninja with fear, Tengu switched to wielding the sword with both hands, moving with unimpeded fluidity, the blade cutting in a straight line.
It was an outright massacre!
Even Quasi-Kage- Chakra Beast, after evolving, could only dodge this attack and dared not take it head-on.
These Jonin in front of me aren't even Elite Jonin; they have absolutely no chance of resisting.
With a single strike, he slew several more people!
With just two strikes, the number of Kirigakure figures was reduced by two-thirds.
"This person is too strong! Let's retreat..."
One of the leaders shouted and led the remaining four men in a desperate escape.
The four men escaped in an orderly fashion, not fleeing like birds or beasts, but rather in groups.
Clearly, they were afraid of being hunted down by Kakashi and Obito. If the four of them were together, they would at least have a fighting chance if they were pursued.
But their idea was clearly too naive.
The majestic Tengu vanished instantly, its Chakra returning entirely to Long Ye's body.
"Swish swish swish..."
His hands flew, rapidly Hand Seals.
"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song!"
Following the direction the four had fled, Long Ye summoned four fire dragons, which chased after them from above, below, left, and right.
The explosive flames destroyed trees within a radius of a hundred meters and scorched the forest floor.
The four people, who had already disappeared into the distance, fell silent after a short, desperate scream.
The entire process took only a few breaths; Long Ye alone Kirigakure.
Obito and Kakashi were still reeling from the shock of Long Ye's resurrection when, in the next moment, Kirigakure Ninja were dead, giving them no time to intervene.
At this moment!
A secluded spot in the jungle.
Tobi's eerie body emerged from a tree.
He leaned out halfway and witnessed the scene in the distance. Seemingly disappointed, he shook his head slightly, then slowly retreated back into the tree and disappeared without a trace.
