Nothing should be wasted.
Akihara Kagura is a person who lives frugally.
Even before leaving, Uchiha Obito had to use a Wood Release Ninjutsu in front of Kakashi Hatake to clear himself of the suspicion of killing Aburame Ryuma.
Uchiha Obito hadn't thought about these things.
Because all he wanted at this moment was to leave Konoha as quickly as possible.
Reality.
The battle of Kakashi Hatake remained fierce.
Even after all these years, Kakashi Hatake still seemed to be that genius. Without the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan Dojutsu, Uchiha Obito might not be his match!
Unfortunately…
There are no ifs in this world.
Uchiha Obito's body was almost always in a Void State, making Kakashi Hatake's every forceful attack miss. Akihara Kagura's support didn't seem all that effective either…
"I can't hit his body at all…"
Sweat dripped from Kakashi Hatake's forehead, whether he used Taijutsu or Ninjutsu, he was helpless against Uchiha Obito's Void State.
Especially since Uchiha Obito occasionally nods, as if he were commenting on his growth over the years, confident that Kakashi Hatake was helpless against him…
Of course, Kakashi Hatake didn't know that during this brief time, Uchiha Obito had secretly recruited someone in the Mangekyo Sharingan space.
After finishing the interview with his new subordinate, Uchiha Obito swiftly exited the Void State, returning to the real world, grabbing Kakashi Hatake's left wrist with one hand.
"Idiot!"
"Hmm?"
Instead of being startled, Kakashi Hatake was actually pleased!
Whoosh!
A shuriken appeared in Kakashi Hatake's left hand, and with a slight flick of his two fingers, it flew towards Uchiha Obito's shoulder!
As a genius ninja who participated in war from a young age, Kakashi Hatake's Shuriken Throwing Jutsu was already refined to perfection, a skill not easily mastered by other ninjas!
"Is that all you've got?"
Uchiha Obito's hand still gripped Kakashi Hatake's wrist, but he entered the Void State in an instant.
This is the terrifying power of Uchiha Obito's Void Ability!
As long as his body is attacked at a critical moment, he can instantly enter the Void State!
The cunning shuriken Kakashi Hatake had slyly thrown seemed to pass through air, went straight through Uchiha Obito's shoulder!
"Looking a bit pathetic there, Captain Kakashi…"
Akihara Kagura's voice suddenly came from the side.
The palm of the young Dark Department member flicked out a wooden spike quickly, stabbing towards Uchiha Obito!
Kakashi Hatake broke free from the shackles, leaped back beside Akihara Kagura, eager to discuss strategy: "Kagura, you focus on attacking, I'll handle…"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
A voice interrupted Kakashi Hatake's thoughts of communication!
Uchiha Obito quickly formed hand seals and spat out a massive fireball towards Kakashi Hatake and Akihara Kagura!
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
Kakashi Hatake swiftly formed hand seals, unleashing a defensive jutsu!
A wall carved with a dog's head burst from the ground, blocking the fireball's attack, the intense heat sending hot wind whipping through Kakashi's white hair!
"Hmph…"
"Still using such outdated methods…"
Uchiha Obito sneered at the dilapidated stone wall ravaged by flames.
In the next moment!
Vines began sprouting around him!
Standing beside Kakashi Hatake, Akihara Kagura clasped his fingers together to maintain the Snake Seal, wildly manipulating vines to attack Obito's body!
"..."
Uchiha Obito looked towards Akihara Kagura.
The young Dark Department member's eyes were still sharp, as if he had always been a loyal Konoha Ninja, making Uchiha Obito wonder if the interview scene he just experienced was a dream or if he was under Genjutsu?
However…
It wasn't a dream, nor was it Genjutsu.
Because Akihara Kagura suddenly tilted his head.
This action made Uchiha Obito realize the other was reminding him to act according to the agreement with the Wood Clone, rather than getting entangled with Kakashi Hatake here…
Kakashi Hatake, that fool…
He had no clue that the kid fighting alongside him just chose to side with me moments ago!
Uchiha Obito's hand quickly clasped together to form hand seals!
"Wood Release: Hell Chaos!"
Thorny shrubs grew from the ground!
These shrubs spiraled rapidly, converging into thorn-filled trees, turning this area into a land of impassable thorns!
Akihara Kagura quickly retreated, avoiding the range of the Hell Chaos!
Akihara Kagura even manipulated the vines to pull Kakashi Hatake back with him, rescuing his captain from the clutches of Hell Chaos!
"Thank you…"
Kakashi Hatake expressed his gratitude to Akihara Kagura for his timely intervention.
Although Kakashi Hatake could avoid danger himself, this little guy was quick and had saved him several times tonight… Even though he always insists on wanting to kill him, he doesn't hesitate to save him, evidently Akihara Kagura is not an irredeemable kid.
"You're welcome."
Akihara Kagura's face fell, coldly snorting: "I'm just worried that if you die, it would be a bit tricky for me to kill him alone..."
"..."
Kakashi Hatake remained silent.
This kid really has a sharp tongue!
Isn't it clear that one person can't be a match for Obito? Didn't you just delay him, waiting for reinforcements to arrive just now?
Akihara Kagura looked at the menacing Wood Release: Hell Chaos, unable to resist opening his mouth to praise Uchiha Obito: "He even knows Wood Release, this jutsu isn't bad, I should find a chance to develop it myself, it could definitely kill a lot of people…"
"..."
Kakashi Hatake frowned.
What on earth did Uchiha Obito go through over the years?
How did he acquire the Wood Release Kekkeigenkai, how could an Uchiha possibly possess Wood Release? It must have been through human experimentation, right?
Who was it that conducted those experiments on him?
Hearing Akihara Kagura's words, Kakashi Hatake felt his thinking was too extreme, failing to consider another matter entirely.
Kakashi Hatake slowly shook his head, initiating the topic: "Kid, do you remember someone killed Aburame Ryuma and framed you?"
"It was him!"
Akihara Kagura suddenly seemed to realize!
"We must capture him!"
But just as Akihara Kagura quickly clasped his hands to make seals, looking as if wanting to capture Uchiha Obito, Obito's voice echoed over.
"If you take another step forward…"
Uchiha Obito stepped on Naruto Uzumaki, speaking coldly: "I'll kill Naruto Uzumaki, anyways, that kid survived by sheer luck last time…"
"Ha?"
Akihara Kagura looked at Uchiha Obito, letting out a chuckle: "Do you think I care whether that kid lives or dies? As if by us stopping, you'll spare Naruto, your goal tonight is to kill him, isn't it?"
"..."
Not wanting to look at him, Uchiha Obito turned his gaze towards Kakashi Hatake.
Quickly, Kakashi Hatake pressed down on Akihara Kagura's shoulder, fearing he might provoke Uchiha Obito further: "Obito, don't be impulsive…"
"No need to waste words with him!"
Still stubborn, Akihara Kagura raised his voice: "Whether you kill that kid or not, you'll never escape tonight, I have plenty of Chakra left, enough to delay until…"
"..."
Uchiha Obito's hand quickly condensed a wooden spike!
"Akihara Kagura, follow the orders of your superior."
Kakashi Hatake swiftly interrupted Akihara Kagura, then looked back at Uchiha Obito: "Obito, let Naruto go, and I will allow you to leave."
