This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 157 The Watergate Squad's Reconnaissance Mission

Last night's lively hot pot party felt like a dream. Just as dawn was breaking, Minato Namikaze led Team 7 away from the Akatsuki's temporary base and headed to the dense forest in the northwest to conduct reconnaissance.

This is the buffer zone between the Land of Rain and the Land of Earth, with complex terrain and jagged rocks, making it an essential route for the Iwa ninja to infiltrate.

Stop.

Shuimen, who was leading the procession, suddenly raised his hand, signaling the group to stop. He crouched on a tree trunk, two fingers lightly touching the damp bark, a sharp glint in his azure eyes.

"There are enemies ahead. Four chakra reactions. In this place... it seems to be an Iwagakure squad."

"enemy?"

Obito immediately tensed up, quickly adjusting his goggles, his palms slightly sweaty: "Sensei, should we avoid this area?"

"No."

Minato shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the three disciples behind him.

"This is a good opportunity for real combat. The opponent has a standard setup of one Jonin and three Chunin. I'll take care of that Jonin, and you can handle the remaining three Chunin."

"Be careful," Minato's voice turned somber.

Although his tone was serious, he would still help his subordinates if they were in danger, since the enemy had three Chunin, while our side still had two Genin.

Minato simply wanted to see how his three subordinates had grown recently, not to put them in danger. He was confident he could protect them in battle.

Kakashi silently drew the short sword from his back, his eyes turning cold. Rin took a deep breath, her hand instinctively reaching for the hard holster at her waist.

……

Before long, the Iwa ninja also discovered Minato's team, and a battle suddenly broke out on a wide-open rocky beach.

"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"

Several sharp rock spears burst from the ground, heading straight for the Seventh Squad's landing spot.

"spread!"

Minato shouted, and his golden figure vanished instantly, reappearing a second above the head of the Iwagakure Jonin. The kunai in his hand gleamed coldly, forcing the opponent to abandon hand seals and draw his sword to block.

"Your opponent is me!"

Minato did not instantly kill his opponent, but intentionally widened the battlefield to give his disciples space.

Meanwhile, three Iwagakure Chunin looked at the three Konoha brats in front of them with cruel grins on their faces.

"Quickly finish this! Don't delay Lord Tsuchikage's mission!"

One of the Iwagakure Chunin formed hand seals and slammed his fist into the ground: "Earth Release: Rock Gun!"

Several fist-sized stone projectiles came hurtling towards them.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Although Obito is usually loud and boisterous, he is actually quite fast at forming hand seals.

A blazing fireball erupted and collided with the stone projectile in mid-air, creating a cloud of smoke and dust.

"Now's the time! Kakashi!" Obito shouted.

Without needing his reminder, Kakashi had already dashed out under the cover of the smoke and dust. The short sword in his hand flashed a silver arc, aiming straight for the throat of the enemy on his left.

"Ding!"

The Iwa ninja reacted extremely quickly, blocking the attack with a kunai while simultaneously kicking Kakashi in the abdomen.

Kakashi nimbly flipped in the air to dodge, but was still forced back several steps.

"The teamwork is good, but they're too inexperienced!"

The three Chunin from Iwagakure quickly adjusted their positions. After all, they were experienced veterans and immediately saw the weakness in Team 7's formation.

The silver-haired kid was in charge of the assault, the kid with goggles was in charge of providing cover fire, and the brown-haired little girl...

She kept retreating, positioned in the center of the two people's protective circle, and she had no obvious weapons on her, only a ninja tool pouch at her waist and a silver-gray... ornament?

"Most likely a medical ninja!"

One of the Iwagakure chunin's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he shouted, "Forget about those two brats, kill that woman first!"

"clear!"

The other two Iwagakure ninja understood immediately. One of them even used Earth Release: Mind Decapitation Technique to infiltrate underground and bypass Kakashi and Obito's defenses.

"Lin! Watch out for the ground!"

Kakashi keenly sensed the flow of chakra and shouted a warning.

"Hehe, too late!"

Suddenly, the ground beneath Lin's feet exploded, and a rough, large hand grabbed at her ankle. Then, the Iwagakure ninja grinned as he emerged from the ground, his kunai aimed straight for Lin's heart.

"Go to hell, you brat!"

"Lin!!!"

Obito's eyes widened in horror, and his heart nearly stopped beating for a moment.

The fear of losing someone important to him was like a red-hot iron, searing his heart.

"Don't...touch her!"

A cold and violent chakra erupted from the depths of Obito's brain.

He suddenly raised his head, and his originally dark pupils instantly turned scarlet, with two black tomoe spinning wildly in his eyes.

Two-tomoe Sharingan, awakened!

Under the gaze of those eyes, the movements of the Iwa ninja seemed to slow down.

Obito could even see the rust on the kunai and the hideous pores on the face of the Iwa ninja.

However, he was still some distance from Rin when the Iwa ninja who was fighting him blocked his way.

"So this brat is a member of the Uchiha clan. He's awakened his Sharingan at such a young age. He'll become a major threat to our Land of Earth sooner or later." Seeing this, the Iwa ninja who was fighting Obito quickened his pace. He wanted to kill this Uchiha brat as soon as possible.

Kakashi was also held back by another person, unable to reach him.

Seeing this, Minato prepared to use his Body Flicker Technique to save Rin. However, facing this fatal blow, Rin's face did show a hint of panic, but not fear.

Over the past few months, she has learned more than just medical knowledge.

"Don't underestimate medical ninjas!"

Lin Jiao shouted, and her right hand drew the silver-gray electromagnetic pistol from her waist with lightning speed.

No hand seals or complicated chakra manipulation are required.

As long as she keeps her hand firmly on the handle and pulls the trigger, she cannot possibly make a mistake at this distance.

"Buzz—"

A flash of blue light appeared at the muzzle of the gun.

The Iwagakure chunin, who thought victory was assured, only saw a dark gun barrel pointed at his forehead.

What is this? It's not a decoration?

The thought hadn't even fully formed yet.

"Bang!"

A crisp sound rang out, instantly piercing through the Iwa ninja's headband and exiting from the back of his head, bringing with it a cloud of blood mist.

The sinister smile on Iwa ninja's face froze, his body swayed stiffly, and then he collapsed heavily at Rin's feet.

Sold out instantly.

"What?!"

The remaining two Iwa ninja were stunned, their movements even momentarily halting.

That frail medical ninja… what ninjutsu did she just use? So fast? She didn't even finish the hand seals?

"A great opportunity!"

Kakashi and Obito, who had already awakened his Sharingan, were also shocked, but they did not overlook this flaw.

"Hatake sword technique!"

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

The two unleashed their power simultaneously, taking advantage of the moment when the enemy was distracted, and quickly eliminated the remaining two opponents.

Meanwhile, Minato Namikaze, far away, had already dealt with the Jonin. Standing on a treetop, he looked at Obito's crimson eyes, a hint of relief flashing in his own.

"He awakened his Sharingan to protect his comrades... Obito is such a kind child."

"Moreover, the electromagnetic pistol developed by Che is indeed very suitable for medical ninjas, making up for their weaknesses in lethality and self-defense."

However, just as Minato was about to teleport down, his brows suddenly furrowed slightly.

The feeling was very faint, like a strange scent carried on the wind.

As a ninja who has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, he has an extremely keen sense of space and chakra.

"Who?!"

Minato abruptly turned his head to look at the shadow of a withered tree at the edge of the battlefield, and instantly shot out the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand.

"Duh!"

The kunai was nailed to the tree trunk, where there was no one.

But deep underground, a pitcher plant-like creature, half black and half white, was slithering rapidly, a bead of cold sweat seeping from its forehead.

"Thank goodness, this blond guy actually managed to sense my presence."

Bai Jue moved underground, secretly surprised.

"But that Uchiha brat actually activated his two-tomoe Sharingan to save his comrades? That intense emotional fluctuation... he's perfect material."

"Lord Madara will definitely be interested in him."
