Obito Uchiha did not take action directly that night.
He found that this Minazuki Yuki and another named Mei Terumi were inseparable every day.
Obito Uchiha squatted for several days in a row, but he couldn't find the slightest chance.
This is the first day.
Same thing the next day.
It was still the same on the third day.
"Is this Mei Terumi a plaster?" He squatted on the tiles, looked at the two figures walking side by side downstairs, and cursed in his heart.
Black Zetsu emerged from his feet.
"Obito, the caravan will leave the day after tomorrow. Your identity will not last long."
"I know."
"Kirisame Ryo Over there, I found another line..."
"We'll talk about it later."
Black Zetsu shut his mouth.
In the past three days, it found four reasons to pull Obito away from this woman. But Obito didn't care about any of them.
On the evening of the fourth day, things changed.
High Tower reported that Coastal Defense Department held an emergency meeting on the North Shore, and Mei Terumi, as the acting person in charge, must attend. The meeting lasted from evening to late at night, and no one was allowed to leave in the middle.
On the same day, the woman named Minazuki Yuki got off work as usual.
She didn't return to the apartment.
She turned onto the dirt road to the east that led to the old fishing village.
Obito followed her for a while and quickly figured out what she was doing.
There is a wooden house in the old fishing village, and a wooden sign reading "Free Clinic" hangs at the door. The words on the wooden sign are freshly painted, and the ink is still a little blurry at the edges. An oil lamp is lit in the house, and several fishermen are queuing up. Some are covering their arms, and some are holding a coughing child.
The woman entered the room, put down her bag, and rolled up her sleeves.
Obito stood on the rock behind the house and looked through the crack in the window.
She cleaned the wound on the back of an old fisherman's hand. The wound had been opened by a fishhook and had been soaked in seawater for a day, so the edges turned white. While she was cleaning the wound, she spoke to the old man in a low voice. What she said could not be heard clearly. The old man was smiling with his two front teeth missing.
Obito looked away.
"A diplomat came to a fishing village to treat people after work." He said in his heart, "Kirisame Ryo's people are quite good at acting."
But his feet didn't move.
He stood until the lights in the room went out.
The woman locked the door, put the key under the wooden sign at the door, and walked back alone.
The way back to the village passes through a section of seawall.
One side of the seawall is a reef beach, and the other side is a large reed swamp. It was foggy at night, and the reeds rustled in the wind. There were no lights and no people on the entire stretch of road.
Obito stood deep in the reed marsh and put on that mask.
Orange, spiral pattern, only one hole opened for the right eye.
"Do you really want to take action?" Black Zetsu's voice came up from the soles of his feet, very low.
"Must give it a try."
"What if this is a trap..."
"Then we have to try." Obito said, "If she is the bait, I can see the fishermen tonight. If not..."
He didn't finish his sentence.
If not, then she is a Three-Tails that no one is watching.
He could control Yagura back then, and he can control her today.
This is your own purpose.
He told himself that this was the reason.
There were sounds of footsteps in the fog.
It's very light and stable, and the left foot lands a little heavier.
Obito Raise your right hand.
When Rin Nohara reached the middle of the seawall, Three-Tails turned over inside her body.
"Left."
There are only two words.
She didn't look back, and lowered her body half a foot to the right.
A black chain swept out from the reeds, brushed against the back of her head, and hit the stone railing of the seawall. The stone railing collapsed, and the gravel rolled into the sea, making a splashing sound.
Rin Nohara put one hand on the ground and landed three meters away.
There is a person standing in the fog.
Black robe, high collar, orange spiral mask. There is a little red in the hole on the mask.
Sharingan.
Rin Nohara's breathing stopped for half a beat.
Moreover, according to the information, the opponent's outfit is definitely the Masked Man who appeared in Land of Rain.
Rin Nohara Slowly stand up straight.
She put her right hand on her waist, where a flat scroll bag hung.
"Who are you?" she asked.
There was no answer behind the mask.
The man took a step forward.
Then the whole person disappeared.
Lin's pupils shrank.
It's not Body Flicker Technique. Body Flicker Technique will bring up the wind and leave traces of Chakra. This person left nothing behind. He "disappeared" directly from that position.
The next second, the air behind her twisted.
Obito leaned half of his body out of the void, spread out the five fingers of his right hand, and reached straight for the back of her neck.
For this grab, he used Konoha Military Police Force's grappling hand.
The angle, strength, and sequence of exerting force are all based on what Ninja Academy taught. Any ninja who grew up in Konoha will subconsciously react in the same way when encountering this move: sinking the shoulders, turning the waist, pushing back with the left elbow, and then followed by Substitution Technique.
Obito Waiting for that reaction.
Unexpectedly, what he waited for was a body of water.
The woman's body collapsed before his fingertips touched her. Her clothes, hair, and skin all turned into seawater, and splashed onto his hand with a splash.
Hydrification Technique.
Kirigakure stuff.
Obito's hand was empty, and water poured down his sleeves, which was freezing to the bone.
Three meters away on the sea surface, the water surged upward, re-condensing into a human figure. The woman stood on the water, her sleeves dripping with water, her face unchanged.
Obito shook his hand.
"It's not Substitution Technique." He said in his heart.
"First level, exclusion."
He disappears for the second time.
This time he did not attack from behind, but came out from under the water in front, holding Hand Seals in his left hand and Kunai in his right hand, and stabbed the opponent's lower abdomen.
Rin Nohara did not return.
She took half a step forward to face Kunai, opened her left hand, and pushed the blade of Kunai outward with the back of her hand. Kunai was deflected by three inches and slid past her waist.
At the same time, her right hand had reached Obito's ribs.
Not a punch, not a palm.
It's two fingers together.
A thin layer of water condensed on the fingertips, and the pressure was very fine, poking into the gap between the seventh and eighth ribs of Obito.
Obito felt a chill all over.
Behind that position is the liver.
He didn't have time to think about it, and his body disappeared directly. The woman's fingers passed through his chest and came out from the back, but she didn't touch anything.
Obito retreated five meters back and rematerialized.
He glanced down at his ribs.
The clothes had a small tear.
That moment just now, if he was blurred even half a beat slower, it would be like a hole going through him.
"What kind of play is this."
Obito Uchiha has seen many female ninjas.
The female ninja of Konoha pays attention to proportion in her attacks and leaves room for capture. This is the custom set by the old man Third. Even the girls in the medical class follow this approach.
As for the woman in front of me, her first move was the back of her head, and her second move was her liver.
Every blow was aimed at killing someone.
There is no temptation.
There is no room for that.
There is no smell of Konoha at all.
Obito Uchiha stood on the seawall, watching the woman opposite walking back to the shore from the water. She didn't walk fast, stepping on the flattest part of the reef with every step, her eyes always staring at the hole in his mask.
Obito's chest relaxed a little.
"This woman is definitely not her."
"Lin won't fight like that."
"You know, back then Lin had to hesitate for a long time even to kill a fish."
"..."
