We Have to Make It Out Alive
Upon hearing the sound, Koki immediately stopped in her tracks, deliberately feigning that her Chakra was completely depleted.
He slowly turned around, looking somewhat awkward. Then, with a flick of his arm, several Kunai drew an elegant arc in the air, drifting straight toward the blond ninja.
The blond ninja maintained a certain distance from Koki at all times. He was agile and nimble, easily dodging the Kunai that Koki threw at him.
"Don't you have the strength to continue fighting?" The blond ninja's eyes swept over Koki, as if trying to find a weakness in him.
Koki's fair and delicate face did indeed lack that fierce and sharp aura, which made the blond ninja's eyes reveal a hint of contempt. The person standing in front of him was not a worthy opponent, but just a small insect that could be crushed at will.
Koki gave a helpless, bitter laugh, then spoke in an almost pleading tone.
"Ugh, I really can't run anymore! It was just a D-rank mission, and everything was going perfectly. Since Minato-sensei already sensed the distress signal, he could have just come to my aid himself. Why did he have to send me off to my death for no reason..."
"Hmph, surrender now, and I'll grant you a quick death!"
The blond ninja snorted coldly and slowly sheathed the gleaming blade in his hand.
This sword is far too precious to be drawn lightly; this brat is not worthy of wielding such a treasure.
"My lord, I don't want to die! Spare me!" Koki gripped a short Kunai tightly in both hands, trembling as she offered it forward, her voice filled with endless pleading.
Despair flickered in his eyes, and his body trembled slightly as he desperately begged the blond ninja for even the faintest glimmer of hope.
Upon witnessing Koki's pitiful state, the blond ninja lowered his guard as well.
Since he couldn't use Ninjutsu with only one hand anyway, he took steady steps forward, a cruel smile on his face, ready to end the life of this cowardly man with his own hands.
However, just as the blond ninja was about to reach out and touch Koki, something unexpected happened— Koki's eyes suddenly underwent a dramatic change.
The previous fear and despair had vanished, replaced by an unwavering determination and resolve.
Koki maintained the same posture of pushing the Kunai with one hand, while at the same time, his other hand moved with astonishing speed and skill, forming hand seals with fluid grace.
This series of actions was so fast that the blond ninja didn't even have time to react.
Koki suddenly opened his mouth, and a powerful surge of energy erupted from it...
Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Technique!
Those who are skilled in this technique only need one seal of "Yin" to activate it, and Guangxi has obviously practiced this technique to a superb level.
He completed the Hand Seals with just one hand!?
A flash of surprise and doubt crossed the blond ninja's mind, his eyes filled with shock—who was this seemingly ordinary boy? How could he possess such superb Ninjutsu skills?
In the blink of an eye, Koki spat out several enormous fire dragons, which, like roaring beasts, charged straight at the blond ninja with raging flames and immense power.
Flames raged in the sky, as if they wanted to devour everything in heaven and earth.
At the same time, Koki's eyes suddenly changed. With the help of the Sharingan, he further expanded his attack range and precisely controlled the trajectory of each fire dragon.
The fire dragons became more agile and nimble, and their attack power increased significantly.
The Great Dragon Fire Technique not only has a wide coverage area, but its true power lies in its unparalleled destructive force and accuracy.
If an enemy is bitten by the sharp fangs of one of the fire dragons, even with the slightest touch, they will instantly turn to ashes and vanish without a trace.
Caught off guard, the blond ninja was instantly engulfed by the ferocious fire dragon!
In an instant, a chilling, heart-wrenching scream erupted from his mouth.
The raging flames, like a surging tide, enveloped his entire body with lightning speed, mercilessly scorching every inch of his skin and his fragile soul.
In this extremely painful torment, the blond ninja tried his best to use Ninjutsu to turn the tide and escape his predicament.
However, just moments later, he realized with horror that he was in dire straits—all around him was a raging inferno, the flames so intense they could almost melt everything, their claws outstretched as if they were about to devour everything in the world.
At this moment, unless one is proficient in unfathomable Space-Time Ninjutsu, there is absolutely no way to escape and survive.
"You..." The blond ninja gritted his teeth, trying his best to struggle to his feet, but the powerful force released by the raging flames made it impossible for him to move an inch.
Standing on the edge of the raging inferno, Koki's gaze was like a frozen pool, coldly fixed on the blond ninja. If the other party made the slightest move, she would not hesitate to deliver a fatal blow.
As time went on, the fire grew increasingly fierce and uncontrollable, and the blond ninja's originally abundant power gradually dissipated.
Finally, when his last bit of strength was exhausted, he could no longer support his body weight and collapsed into the warm embrace of the sea of fire, never to breathe again.
Witnessing all this, Koki remained calm and without hesitation. He turned and strode away like an arrow, heading straight for Minato.
Amidst the pervasive mist, Kakashi lay sprawled on the slippery ground, his consciousness hazy. The surrounding moisture acted like an opaque curtain, isolating him from the outside world.
"Boom!" A deafening explosion shattered the silence of the mist.
The deafening roar, like a thunderclap, struck Kakashi's ears, instantly jolting him awake from his half-asleep, confused state.
Kakashi's heart skipped a beat, and a thought flashed through his mind: Could it be that the rescue team has arrived?
A faint but burning flame of hope quietly ignited in his heart.
As his vision finally cleared, his heart sank into a deep sorrow—he saw Obito lying quietly beside him.
Obito lay motionless, his face as pale as paper, his breath barely a whisper.
A strong sense of unease welled up in Kakashi's heart. He hurriedly crawled to Obito's side and gently shook his body.
"Obito, Obito! Wake up!"
Obito seemed to sense Kakashi's call, trembling slightly, but still did not respond immediately.
Upon closer inspection, Kakashi noticed a shocking wound on Obito's body, from which blood was gushing out.
It turns out that Obito had been seriously injured in the fierce battle with Yugito, but he never revealed it.
"Obito, why didn't you tell me you were injured?"
Obito slowly opened his eyes and smiled weakly. "Kakashi, this injury is nothing."
Kakashi felt a little relieved seeing Obito awake. He tried to suppress his emotions and began to think about his next move.
He canceled the Water Release Technique, and the surrounding water vapor slowly dissipated like a faded curtain. The two of them lay on the ground and rested for a while. Although they were very weak, they could not give up.
"Kakashi, we cannot place all our hopes on others."
Kakashi nodded. Obito. As ninjas, they knew the importance of relying on themselves.
"That's right, we need to go out, either to keep Yugito occupied or to draw her attention, making it easier for the reinforcements to arrive."
"We can't just sit here and wait for fate to decide our destiny!"
"Okay, let's go out together." They helped each other to their feet.
"Haha, Obito, I was wondering if Koki will come to save us?" Kakashi joked for the first time ever.
"Of course I'm looking forward to it, but I'm afraid he's currently in the Daimyo's residence." Obito recalled something, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
We must get out of here alive to see him.
"Good!"
