Chapter 99 Obito's Resentment
Chapter 99 Obito's Resentment
In the oasis town, Minato Namikaze conducted a detailed investigation and recorded the number of Sand Ninja, the ratio of Jonin, Chunin and Genin, the location of traps, the layout of buildings, and so on.
Based on this intelligence, Minato Namikaze had already planned out the number and location of the explosive tags in his mind.
"Yes, this mission will definitely succeed!"
With a joyful heart, Minato Namikaze returned to the meeting point, where he found Obito unconscious.
"Minato-sensei, how is Obito?"
Lin watched as Minato Namikaze fed Obito a pill and asked him a question with concern.
Minato Namikaze reassured Rin not to worry: "It's alright, the poison Obito suffered from isn't fatal. He'll wake up after taking the antidote pill."
At this moment, Kakashi said, "We have been attacked by the Sand Ninja, and our whereabouts may have been exposed. Minato-sensei, we must act immediately, otherwise our mission may fail once the Sand Ninja strengthens their vigilance."
Kyosuke's eyes twitched upon hearing Kakashi's words.
Kakashi has really become a mission fanatic. Even though he knows the enemy may have obtained the intelligence, he doesn't even think about retreating. Instead, he wants to speed up the mission.
Of course, Kyosuke also wanted a good resume and didn't want the mission to fail, so he didn't say anything to stop him.
Minato Namikaze remained silent, analyzing the current situation in his mind, and then offered a solution.
"We'll move to the new base first. Kakashi and Rin, you protect Obito and provide backup for us at any time. Kyosuke, come with me to complete the mission."
Aside from Minato Namikaze himself, Kyosuke is the strongest among the others, and Kakashi is also quite strong.
Based on the enemy's strength as scouted, Minato Namikaze felt that he and Kyosuke together should be able to complete the mission, and even if the mission did not go smoothly, they could still retreat safely.
At the same time, the two of them will draw away the enemy's main force, so Kakashi should not encounter too strong enemies and should be able to protect Obito.
Upon hearing Minato's words, Kakashi opened his mouth, wanting to go and carry out the mission, but after glancing at Rin and Obito, he remained silent.
Kyosuke, naturally, acted very bravely in front of Minato Namikaze and would not refuse.
And so, they found a new meeting point, settled Obito, Minato Namikaze, and Kyosuke, and arrived at the edge of the oasis.
"Kyosuke, I've already gathered all the information inside. It will only take an hour to plant the explosive tags. So, you just need to lure away most of the Sand Ninja for an hour, and leave the rest to me."
This is an important warehouse of the Sand Village, guarded by many ninjas, and the warehouse has also undergone a lot of security measures.
For example, the warehouses were kept at a certain distance from each other, and fireproofing measures were taken around them. Therefore, Minato Namikaze was already very capable of placing all the explosive tags within an hour to ensure the destruction of all the warehouses.
"Don't worry, Minato-sensei, I will definitely complete the mission!"
After the two parted ways, Kyosuke thought for a moment and then sent out several shadow clones to infiltrate the town in the oasis, while he followed behind.
The buildings here are mostly gray-white with relatively tall walls.
After the shadow clones infiltrated, they found a warehouse and then detonated the explosive tags on their bodies.
Rumble, rumble.
The explosion destroyed the warehouse walls, and the fire ignited the supplies. The Sand Ninja reacted immediately.
"Put out the fire quickly!"
"Someone has infiltrated this area! Reconnaissance team, find him quickly!"
"Puppet troops, assemble!"
The numerous Sand Ninja immediately sprang into action, with clear division of labor: firefighting, guarding, and reconnaissance.
The flames were quickly extinguished, and a Sand Ninja who could summon geckos, with the help of a large number of geckos, soon located Kyosuke's position.
"The enemy is in that position!"
Leaving a small number of people to guard the area, the majority of the Sand Ninja began to attack Kyosuke directly. Kyosuke constantly coordinated with his Shadow Clones, occasionally counterattacking while escaping, ensuring that he drew the majority of the "hatred points".
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Some Sand Ninja used Earth Release to defend themselves, while others moved quickly from both sides, attempting to surround and intercept Kyosuke.
The most troublesome force is the puppeteer unit. Their puppets are not afraid of casualties and charge straight through the flames to launch a strong attack.
Meanwhile, some puppets can fly in the air, while others burrow into the ground to attack from a stationary angle, slowing down Kyosuke's escape.
Fortunately, Kyosuke possessed a vast amount of chakra, enabling him to continuously use Shadow Clones and various ninjutsu, thus buying Minato Namikaze a great deal of time.
"Obito, you're awake!"
Inside the cave, Rin saw Obito open his eyes and smiled happily.
Obito had just regained consciousness, his mind was a complete mess, he just felt very tired, his eyes were hard to open, and he spoke weakly.
"Where am I? What happened?"
Lin took the water bottle, fed Obito water, and explained what had happened.
"Am I... a burden to everyone...?"
After listening to Rin's words, Obito's eyes were filled with deep melancholy.
He tried so hard, he so desperately wanted to be a hero, but in the end he was just a clown in everyone's eyes.
However, Obito quickly concealed his true feelings and deliberately turned to look around: "Where is everyone else?"
Lin replied, "Minato-sensei and Kyosuke have gone on a mission, and Kakashi is on guard outside."
Only Obito and Rin were in the cave. In Obito's eyes, Rin's smile was so charming and her voice so gentle. He even felt that being able to receive Rin's care made this poisoning and injury not such a bad thing.
"That's right, it's them! I didn't expect them to hide here!"
"Hmph, just a few brats! Kill them!"
"I will avenge the captain and the others!"
A group of Sand Ninja moved quickly toward the cave. Kakashi spotted the enemy immediately and ran back to the cave.
"Enemy approaching! Let's get out of here!"
Obito was too weak to travel, so Kakashi and Rin had to carry him and quickly escape from the cave.
Because they were carrying Obito, the three of them weren't moving very fast, so it wasn't long before the Sand Ninja caught up with them.
"You all go first, I'll cover your retreat!"
Seeing no chance to escape, Kakashi stayed behind and charged at the enemy with a kunai in hand.
"Kakashi!"
Rin was very anxious when she saw Kakashi facing several times more enemies by himself. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she gritted her teeth before fleeing with Obito.
Damn it, why, why is it always like this?
Leaning against Rin, Obito was not happy; his heart was filled with resentment.
He wanted to be a hero, he wanted to help others, he wanted to have great power, and he didn't want to be a burden.
I'm clearly a great Uchiha, so why am I always the one being saved by others?!
However, no matter how unwilling he was to accept reality, his weakened body made it impossible for Obito to even stand steadily, let alone fight.
"Hahaha, you little brats, don't even think about running away!"
Four Sand Ninjas revealed bloodthirsty eyes. Three of them surrounded Kakashi, while one charged directly at Rin.
