"Lord Meikyō, the Fourth Mizukage has appeared on the main battlefield, and Minato has already been dispatched to intercept him."
In the Command Room, Yamanaka Inoichi, wearing a helmet, relayed the intelligence he had received to Meikyō one by one.
The Yamanaka Clan's Mind Transmission Technique allows them to transmit their words directly into their teammates' minds, and it also has a certain sensory effect. After wearing a specially made ninja helmet and releasing brain waves, Yamanaka Inoichi can sense the situation on the entire battlefield and coordinate with others to give orders.
In the original timeline, with the help of the equipment, Yamanaka Inoichi was even able to connect with all the ninjas of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
Here, although Yamanaka Inoichi has not yet reached that level, he is close. The instruments he wears, while not yet updated to the level of the future, are still quite remarkable.
Actually, this device didn't exist in the timeline where Meikyō is currently in. It's estimated that it was created by Konoha's analysis team in the future, combining newly emerging technologies in the Ninja World to better gather intelligence, and leveraging the power of Konoha.
After Meikyō proposed this idea, Orochimaru created a prototype machine in just a few days, and its first use after improvements was here.
Has Minato Namikaze been held back?
Next, we should exclude ourselves and Uchiha Fugaku, the two who could have the greatest impact on Uchiha Madara's plans in the Kirigakure battlefield.
In other words...
"Lord Meikyō! The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist have indeed appeared in the dense forest on the west side of the battlefield, just as you described!"
Yamanaka Inoichi suddenly exclaimed.
Did they really take the bait?
"Very good. Notify Team Guy to retreat. Also, send a message to Yashiro that they can remove their disguises now. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are about to be caught in the trap."
Meikyō immediately issued the command through Yamanaka Inoichi.
To avoid being discovered by White Zetsu as a trap, the Uchiha Yashiro and his team disguised themselves as ordinary reconnaissance squads and were stationed nearby.
"Now it's my turn to make a move."
Uchiha Meikyō looked up at the distant horizon.
Uchiha Madara's goal was simply to find someone who could inherit his will to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Uchiha Obito was talented, young, and his values were not yet fully formed. Most importantly, his intelligence was just right—not so high that he could escape Madara's control, nor so stupid that he couldn't understand the Eye of the Moon Plan.
If Meikyō were Uchiha Madara, he would definitely seize the opportunity to capture him.
"I wonder if Uchiha Madara will personally intervene if he discovers that his plan has gone wrong."
It's impossible to overestimate Uchiha Madara's strength.
In the original timeline of the Fourth Shinobi World War, even the Five Kage of the present era, when they joined forces, struggled greatly against Uchiha Madara. After Madara activated his Perfect Susanoo even lost his will to fight.
In other words, Uchiha Madara's strength at his peak was definitely far greater than that of five Kage Level powerhouses.
With his power at full strength, Uchiha Meikyō is nearing his limit against two Kage Level aces, and can only maintain an undefeated record.
To put it roughly, his strength might even be inferior to Pain's.
However, this person is quite old, probably in his eighties or nineties, and his Rinnegan has certainly been transplanted into Nagato's body, so the probability of him doing it himself is probably not high.
On the other side of the battlefield.
After giving each of his three disciples a Kunai engraved with the Flying Thunder God Mark, Minato Namikaze parted ways with them to face the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura.
At the same time.
On the west side of the battlefield, in a dense forest.
"Oh dear, aren't these Uchiha Meikyō's three disciples? We've managed to get such credit. It seems we should test the waters with you three brats before we kill Uchiha Meikyō."
Accompanied by the mocking voice of Suikazan Fuguki, seven figures, each carrying Ninja Blade, suddenly appeared before Might Guy and the others from within the thick fog.
"Investigating the whereabouts of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, we ran into the real Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. This is really troublesome."
Shiranui Genma had a Senbon dangling from his mouth. Although his tone was somewhat incoherent, his expression was not pleasant.
"Ebisu, Genma, in a moment, I will open the Eight Gates Formation and do everything I can to buy you time to escape!"
At that moment, Might Guy stood in front of his teammates.
"No, Kai, you are the strongest among us, and you have the best chance of escaping. Genma and I will stay here to buy you time to escape!"
Ebisu adjusted his Glasses and said.
"But..."
"There are no 'buts'! Remember, we must bring the information back so that Teacher Meikyō can avenge us!"
Shiranui Genma interrupted Might Guy and, along with Ebisu, stepped in front of Might Guy.
"Wow... sob, so touching! It makes me want to throw them a grand funeral!"
Raiga Kurosuki, half-crying and half-laughing, waved his Lightning Blade, Fang, with a crazed expression.
"Hehe, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, so many internal organs, where should I start?"
"My Kubikiribōchō also seems to have a nick, which can be repaired with their blood."
"None of them will escape!"
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, with sinister smiles on their faces, gradually moved forward, attempting to surround them.
However...
"The ones who will not be able to escape are you."
Inuzuka Ryo's voice suddenly came from the nearby bushes.
Along with them were several Elite Jonin from Konoha.
The Inuzuka Gaku brothers, Inuzuka Ōi.
Since Inuzuka Ryo is present, Aburame Nami, who has been his partner for many years, will naturally not be absent either.
Beside her were also two powerful members of the Aburame Shikuroo Aburame Clan, Aburame Shibi.
In addition to them, three Elite Jonin from the Uchiha Clan also joined the group.
Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Shinjō, Uchiha Yōsuke.
Three Inuzuka Clan ninjas, three Aburame Clan, and three Uchiha Clan.
This is the Konoha Nine Ninja Swordsmen that Meikyō suggested Orochimaru create to rival the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of Kirigakure Mist. Each of them is an Elite Jonin- level fighter, plus three students from Team Meikyō whose average strength is close to the Jonin threshold.
This combination is enough to deal with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are a perfect stepping stone to promote our fame."
Uchiha Yashiro stared at the seven enemies opposite him with his Sharingan, which were adorned with Three Tomoe.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, equally confident in their abilities, engaged in a duel with the twelve Konoha Ninja present.
A blue Inazuma instantly pierced through the battlefield.
Following the guidance of Yamanaka Inoichi's Mind Transmission Technique, Uchiha Meikyō was heading towards the location of Uchiha Obito, Kakashi, and the others.
Uchiha Madara and the others were placing their pieces even faster than Meikyō had anticipated.
If he were to be held back by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist at this moment, even if Meikyō's strength was sufficient to defeat them, it would certainly delay him for some time.
But now, there's just enough time.
"Lin!"
Uchiha Obito collapsed to the ground, his heart breaking, his newly awakened Three-Tomoe Sharingan staring at the two figures in the distance.
Nohara Rin had just been abducted by the Kirigakure Ninja, which caused him to awaken his Sharingan with Three Tomoe.
After obtaining the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and greatly increasing his strength, he and Kakashi rescued Nohara Rin, and he was seriously injured in the process.
"Kakashi, just kill me."
Nohara Rin's face showed a pleading expression.
"No, Rin, I will fight my way out with you and Obito."
Kakashi pressed down on Nohara Rin's shoulder.
He felt that the other person was acting a little strange.
"No, Kakashi, the Tailed Beast of Kirigakure is sealed inside me. They want to use this method to send Tailed Beast to the village, then cause it to go berserk and harm the village. The best option is to kill me and the Tailed Beast together now!"
Nohara Rin maintained her original expression and tugged at Kakashi's sleeve.
"Tailed Beast? Teacher Meikyō doesn't just kill those things casually..."
Before Kakashi could finish speaking, he felt Nohara Rin grip his hand and plunge the White Fang short sword into his chest.
"Lin... you!"
Kakashi looked terrified and was at a loss for what to do.
As her heart was pierced, Nohara Rin's pupils dilated unconsciously for a moment. She stared blankly at Kakashi, then turned her head to look at the other side when she heard the noise beside her.
Upon seeing that it was Uchiha Obito, she instinctively tried to smile, but found that her body had already lost all strength.
"No, Lin—!!!"
Overwhelmed with Uchiha Obito's Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly, merging into one as he desperately tried to crawl to Nohara Rin's side.
"Well, thankfully we arrived in time."
A blue light flashed across the battlefield, and Uchiha Meikyō's figure appeared in the blink of an eye.
"Teacher Meikyō! Please, please save Lin!"
When Uchiha Obito saw the person who came, he was initially delighted, but then he made a plea.
"What's the rush? He hasn't lost consciousness yet, which means he's not completely dead. He can be saved, but there's one more thing to do before that."
With a clap of his hands, Meikyō instantly entered Sage Mode. With the enhanced perception of Sage Mode, his Observation Haki quickly detected the figure of White Zetsu, who was fleeing in panic due to Meikyō's arrival, in the distance.
Uchiha Obito and Kakashi only saw the figure of the Meikyō disappear in an instant.
A few seconds later, a tremendous commotion, like a landslide, was heard all around.
A few seconds later, Uchiha Meikyō returned to the scene carrying several pale white humanoid creatures.
"This is..."
Upon seeing the White Zetsu, Uchiha Obito finally recalled the content of their previous conversation.
"In other words, Lin... her ordeal was because I was being targeted by those people..."
"You should have felt it just now, right? The transformation of your eye power, but because your body was seriously injured, you had almost no power to resist. They originally intended to take advantage of this situation to abduct you."
Without further discussion of other matters, Meikyō quickly walked up to Nohara Rin.
"Teacher Meikyō!"
Upon seeing the Meikyō, Kakashi felt as if he had seen a savior.
"Leave it to me."
Meikyō gestured for Kakashi to help Nohara Rin up.
Nohara Rin's heart has stopped beating due to damage, preventing it from pumping blood throughout her body.
After the heart stops beating, if more than three minutes pass, the cells in vital organs such as the brain and lungs will lack oxygen, leading to widespread cell death.
"Summoning Technique!"
Double-click to form a hand Hand Seals, summoning a Katsuyu split.
"Lord Katsuyu, I need you to attach yourself to the wounded man's wound and stop the blood from gushing out when I pull out my weapon."
"I understand, Lord Meikyō."
The Katsuyu sang sweetly and crawled onto Nohara Rin's still bleeding chest.
With Meikyō Mangekyō Sharingan, and with the help of the Transparent World, Meikyo swiftly and steadily pulled the White Fang short sword from Nohara Rin's chest, minimizing any secondary damage during the extraction.
The Katsuyu quickly cooperated, splitting into tiny individuals that burrowed inside, stopping the bleeding from Nohara Rin's internal wounds while also Blood Sucker produced within her body.
"Immortal Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique!"
Meikyō quickly placed her hand on Nohara Rin's wound to treat it.
The Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique is an extremely difficult Medical Ninjutsu developed by Tsunade after she discovered that she could not learn Senjutsu. Based on her superb medical Medical Ninjutsu and the Active Regeneration Technique of Shikkotsu Forest, it is generally required for multiple elite Medical Ninja Jonin Chakra to work together and perform it through a formation.
Only Tsunade, who can release the Chakra Yin Seal to obtain a large amount of Ninjutsu Chakra and upgrade it to the Creation Rebirth Technique.
The quality of Senjutsu Chakra is higher than that of ordinary Chakra, which allows Meikyō to expend a large amount of Senjutsu Chakra in a short period of time to perform Regenerative Healing Technique, achieving an effect similar to Creation Rebirth Techniques.
In a sense, it was as if Meikyō used the Active Regeneration Technique on Nohara Rin, sacrificing a portion of Nohara Rin's own lifespan in order to save her life.
Even if Nohara Rin's heart is damaged, she can still be saved as long as she doesn't die on the spot.
Kakashi stared blankly at the White Fang on the ground, stained with Nohara Rin's blood and sweat, lost in thought.
Uchiha Obito struggled with his weakened body and crawled to Nohara Rin's side, silently keeping watch over their surroundings.
Time passed by, second by second.
A few minutes later, a golden light flashed, and Minato Namikaze appeared in the arena, looking rather disheveled.
The Fourth Mizukage was quite strong. Even though the current Minato Namikaze had mastered Sage Mode, which was more than his counterpart in the original timeline, and could basically defeat any of the strongest ninjas in the current Ninja World except for Meikyō, he was still delayed for a long time.
After the Fourth Mizukage was seriously injured and fled, he did not continue the pursuit.
Because Yamanaka Inoichi also told him about Nohara Rin's experience.
