Chapter 205 The Real Lin... The Familiar Lin... (?﹃?)
Almost at the same moment that Minato Namikaze's voice fell,
Kakashi, Obito, and Rin instinctively drew their kunai and nimbly formed a formation back to back.
The three men stood guard in three different directions, their eyes scanning the surroundings warily.
The surrounding woods were eerily quiet; even the chirping of insects and birds had vanished, and the air seemed to be filled with a strange, chilling aura.
Although Obito's movements were a little clumsy, his body reacted faster than his brain.
When he came to his senses, he found himself already in formation with Kakashi and Rin.
The three little ones huddled close together on their backs. Obito could clearly feel the touch of his companions on either side, and his expression faltered for a moment.
This posture, this tacit understanding, made him feel as if he had returned to the long-lost past, to the days when he fought side by side with his partners.
Obito's lips involuntarily curled into a relieved smile, and an indescribable sense of emotion and nostalgia welled up within him.
I was right!
This is the real, familiar world!
The real Lin—
Lin, whom I know well—
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
In contrast, Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato, who were on their first official mission not far away, were not so calm.
The three of them froze on the spot, at a loss, with a hint of panic on their faces.
Yahiko and Nagato instinctively flanked Konan, forming a human wall to shield her from view.
However, their positioning completely exposed the view behind them.
If an enemy were to attack from behind, the three of them would be completely unaware!
Kakashi noticed this, his pupils contracted slightly, and almost without thinking, he shouted at them, "Watch out behind you!"
Before he finished speaking, several whooshing sounds suddenly rang out from the forest.
"!brush!!"
Sure enough, several gleaming shuriken shot out from the shadows behind Yahiko and the other two, aiming straight for Konan's back!
At the critical moment, a silver light flashed past!
"Clang! Clang!"
With a series of crisp metallic clangs, all the shuriken that had attacked were knocked down in mid-air and fell to Konan's feet.
Xiao Nan was startled. She looked down at the few shuriken still trembling slightly at her feet, and belatedly realized what was happening—
Cold sweat instantly slid down the girl's forehead. She turned her head with some lingering fear and saw Kakashi, who had somehow rushed up behind her, crouching on the ground, holding a kunai in a blocking stance with one hand.
"Are you alright?"
Kakashi turned his head and smiled faintly at her. After confirming that she was unharmed, he flew back to his original position.
Xiao Nan opened her mouth, but her heart was still pounding wildly, and she couldn't say a word for a moment.
"Stand in the same position as us!" Kakashi reminded them in a deep voice.
Yahiko and the other two seemed to snap out of their daze, and quickly adjusted their positions, standing back to back like Kakashi and the others.
After confirming that the three of them would not reveal any further weaknesses, Kakashi nodded.
Minato Namikaze witnessed the entire scene, but his expression remained calm and composed, as if he had anticipated Kakashi's performance.
"Well done, Kakashi."
Minato smiled and offered a compliment.
Kakashi simply said, "It's nothing. Protecting your comrades is what I should do."
Lin's eyes practically sparkled with admiration upon hearing this, and she nodded in agreement with a look of pure adoration: "Kakashi was so amazing just now!"
Konan snapped out of her daze and praised, "Thank you so much, Kakashi—you're really reliable!"
"Hmph, I was just unprepared!" Yahiko felt a little resentful seeing his companions praising Kakashi.
He interjected, a hint of jealousy in his voice, "Next time this happens, I will definitely protect Xiao Nan and never let her be in danger again!"
Seeing his embarrassed yet earnest expression, Xiao Nan and Lin couldn't help but exchange a smile.
"Yes, we believe you!"
Obito witnessed all of this, and upon hearing Kakashi's powerful words, he was deeply shaken.
He remembered it clearly: Kakashi at this age was not like this!
In his youth, Kakashi once regarded "mission first" as a truism.
They always say things like, "Ninjas who break the rules are trash!"
I never imagined this world would be so real—
Just as Obito was pondering with his extraordinary wisdom...
Suddenly, a sound came from the surrounding woods.
Seeing their sneak attack fail, the enemy, who had been lurking in the shadows, stopped hiding. Dark shadows flickered in the dense forest, and about twenty ninjas slowly appeared from all directions, surrounding Minato Namikaze and his group.
Their eyes gleamed with ferocity, like a pack of hungry wolves surrounding a few lone lambs.
One of the burly men, who appeared to be the leader, grinned maliciously, raised his large sword at the Konoha members, and shouted in a rough voice, "So you're Konoha ninjas! Hand over your valuables and ninjutsu scrolls! I might leave you with a decent corpse!"
Minato Namikaze glanced around at the enemies who had surrounded him and noticed that they were not wearing any ninja headbands and were dressed in very simple clothes. He felt a little relieved.
He smiled slightly and casually reminded his disciples, "It seems they are just a group of wandering ninjas who are robbing people. There's no need to be too nervous."
As he was speaking, Minato intended to begin planning a counterattack, but before he could give the order, a figure had already rushed past him impatiently.
"Obito, wait a minute!"
Minato Namikaze reached out to stop him, but Obito had already shot straight towards the encircling enemies like an arrow.
Rin called out anxiously from behind, "Obito, watch out!"
However, Obito turned a deaf ear.
Kakashi just made quite a splash.
It's one thing to be overtaken by Kashiwa Reyson.
Even Kakashi Jr. can't compare?
Obito Uchiha couldn't bear the shame of being treated like this!
What's more, the thought that Kakashi might be watching from the audience outside made Obito feel a surge of adrenaline rush to his head. He roared and charged straight into the depths of the enemy formation!
He ran as fast as he could, rapidly forming hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
When Obito was still dozens of meters away from the enemy, he took a deep breath, formed the Tiger Seal, puffed out his cheeks, and opened his mouth to spew out a huge, scorching fireball!
"Boom!"
The fireball exploded in the enemy ranks with a deafening roar, and the scorching flames engulfed several wandering ninjas directly in front of it.
The burly man at the head never dreamed that the seemingly young enemy could unleash such a fierce ninjutsu. He watched helplessly as the two unlucky souls beside him were hit by the fireball, screaming as they flew backward and rolled on the ground to extinguish the flames.
The remaining wandering ninjas were startled and fled to the sides in a panic.
"Obito, calm down!" Minato Namikaze shouted, but Obito ignored him and charged into the enemy ranks in an instant.
Rin, her face paling with anxiety, cried out, "Obito, watch out!"
Seeing this, Minato Namikaze could only sigh helplessly.
Fortunately, the other side was just a bunch of rabble, so it wouldn't hurt for Obito to train a bit.
He immediately turned his head and ordered Kakashi beside him, "Kakashi, go help Obito too. We'll stay here and keep watch!"
"Yes!" Kakashi readily agreed, and before his words even finished, he had already shot off like an arrow, chasing after Obito. Watching Kakashi and Obito charge alone towards the numerous enemies, Yahiko's heart pounded. He swallowed hard and asked in a low voice, "Can the two of them manage on their own?"
Minato Namikaze remained calm and smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Obito alone might not be enough, but adding Kakashi makes all the difference."
Yahiko pointed to the enemy group opposite him, still somewhat nervous: "But...but there are at least twenty of them!"
Minato Namikaze smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, with Kakashi around, there won't be any problems."
Lin nodded vigorously: "Yes! Kakashi is super amazing!"
Despite Minato and Rin's repeated reassurances, Nagato and Konan couldn't help but exchange a glance.
The two still had a hint of worry in their eyes as they watched Obito and Kakashi charge into the enemy ranks.
Obito showed no mercy in his attack.
Within seconds, several unfortunate souls were knocked to the ground by his onslaught.
Just then, Kakashi arrived at the battlefield.
Obito turned around and saw Kakashi arriving, and laughed even more smugly, "Haha, Kakashi, you've finally arrived! How about a match?"
Young Kakashi raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
Obito punched down an enemy who was rushing towards him, then opened his palm and waved it at Kakashi, excitedly shouting, "The fifth one! Kakashi, if you don't make a move soon, they'll all be knocked down by me!"
A playful glint flashed in Kakashi's eyes: "Oh? Is that so?"
Before he finished speaking, he appeared like a ghost behind a wandering ninja who was trying to ambush Obito.
The enemy only felt a blur before his eyes, and before he could see what was happening, he was struck in the back of the neck by Kakashi's hand chop, and collapsed to the ground with a muffled groan.
After dealing with the escaped foe, Kakashi leisurely turned around, looked at the triumphant Obito, and said calmly, "Since you put it that way—then I won't hold back."
Obito was taken aback by what he heard, and before he could respond, he was stunned.
Kakashi's previously nonchalant expression suddenly turned serious!
He took a deep breath, his ten fingers quickly forming several hand seals, and then his right hand reached for the hilt of the short sword behind his back.
During the foggy period, a piercing clap of thunder echoed through the forest.
"Sizzle!"
A dazzling blue and white lightning bolt erupted from Kakashi's body, instantly converging on the short sword he carried on his back.
A piercing screech ripped through the sky, and dazzling blue-white lightning shot out from Kakashi's short sword, illuminating half of the forest with a terrifying force, like a thousand birds singing in unison!
The blinding lightning illuminated the faces of the surrounding enemies, turning them pale. They stared wide-eyed, their expressions filled with disbelief and terror.
"What is this brat doing?!"
Someone screamed in alarm.
"Chidori: Flash!"
Kakashi suddenly lunged forward, transforming into a blinding bolt of lightning that swept across the enemy ranks in an instant.
A blinding blue flash suddenly appeared in the woods!
In the blink of an eye, Kakashi's figure swept across the enemy ranks like a shooting star, rushing to the other end of the encirclement.
The next second, he slowly straightened up and sheathed the short knife in his hand with a "donation".
The silence lasted for less than a second.
As Kakashi sheathed his sword, a series of screams and thuds of people falling to the ground came from behind him.
The dozen or so wandering ninjas who hadn't even had time to react fell to the ground almost simultaneously!
They all had long, thin wounds from the lightning strikes, some even still bearing traces of electricity, clearly indicating that they had been completely annihilated in that instant.
Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan were all dumbfounded.
They didn't even realize when Kakashi drew his sword before the battle was over!
The forest was filled with the acrid smell of lightning strikes.
Obito stood there dumbfounded, unable to come to his senses for a long time, as if he had been petrified.
He swallowed hard, staring incredulously at the enemies lying scattered all over the ground, deeply shocked.
He could hardly believe his eyes. Was Kakashi really that strong?
He's almost as good as the adult Kakashi outside!
In his memory, Kakashi at this age definitely didn't have such strength!

in the audience.
Having witnessed the breathtaking scene on the screen, everyone stared wide-eyed, speechless for a long time.
After a long while, Jiraiya finally came to his senses and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, exclaiming, "Wow, Kakashi, you had such a secret technique hidden away?"
"That's not true."
Kakashi shook his head with a wry smile, a rare look of amazement in his eyes.
"To be honest, I was also surprised. That move should be a new technique that combines Chidori with my father's swordsmanship, which I don't know."
As Kakashi spoke, his gaze returned to the smug, spirited silver-haired young farmer on the screen, his eyes somewhat lost in thought.
"So, under my father's tutelage, I've become like this?" he murmured to himself, his words clearly tinged with a faint sense of regret and melancholy.
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
on the screen.
Rin excitedly rushed to Kakashi's side, her eyes sparkling as she cheered, "Kakashi is so cool!"
Konan also smiled broadly, exclaiming sincerely, "That's amazing, Kakashi!"
Under the adoring gazes of the two girls, Kakashi, with a smug "it's only natural" expression, crossed his arms and walked back to Minato Namikaze's side.
She exuded an air of effortless confidence and composure.
Rin then turned her head and saw Obito panting heavily. She quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Obito, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Obito froze upon hearing this, then replied sullenly, "I'm fine!"
Lin blinked, saw that Obito's voice was stiff, stuck out her tongue and stopped asking questions, silently retreating to the side to keep watch.
Obito clenched his fists, feeling both anxious and angry: "Damn it, Kakashi stole the spotlight again!"
However, recalling Kakashi's terrifying lightning attack just now, Obito's originally high fighting spirit couldn't help but deflate.
In this dream, the difference in strength between him and Kakashi is truly enormous!
To defeat a Kakashi like this—
Obito stared intently in Kakashi's direction, unconsciously touching the corner of his eye.
If Kamui were here, he probably wouldn't lose to Kakashi!
But when he thought of the almost cruel conditions for activating the Kaleidoscope, the light in Obito's eyes dimmed instantly.
He glanced at the triumphant Kakashi not far away, then at Rin standing beside Kakashi with a beaming smile; his expression shifted several times.
Finally, he exhaled a long breath.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
Obito raised his head again, his eyes burning with an indomitable spirit.
"Hmph! You're just a brat—even without the Mangekyou Sharingan, I, Obito Uchiha, can easily surpass you!"
