Chapter 81 - Chapter 81: The hero always arrives one step late

"Kakashi, Rin!"

"Are you guys okay?"

Obito Uchiha shouted into the fog, but received no reply.

As time passed, the screams of agony gradually ceased, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive.

"You bastard, come out!"

Obito Uchiha shouted in fury, but the hands firmly gripping his kunai began to tremble nonstop.

This feeling that he could die at any moment was causing his body to start losing control a little.

On the other side.

Kakashi Hatake was desperately fighting the Mist ninja in front of him.

He knew that to defeat his opponent, he couldn't allow him to hide in the thick fog again.

"Your strength isn't bad at all, brat."

"I hope your other companions have the same strength as you, otherwise, I'm afraid my other two comrades have already taken care of them."

Hearing the Mist ninja's murmur, Kakashi Hatake's mind churned.

Although he knew his opponent was trying to unsettle him, upon hearing that he had two other companions, Kakashi couldn't help but feel a bit of despair.

Those who could accompany a Jōnin on a mission like this were, at the very least, chūnin.

In an environment like this, could Obito and Rin face them?

No!

Rather...

Were they still alive?

"Brat, you finally showed a weakness."

A flash of the sword and a cut appeared on Kakashi Hatake's arm.

The Mist Village ninja took the opportunity to disappear into the thick fog.

————

Rin Nohara, defenseless, pressed her back against the supply cart, her hands clutching her kunai.

In this oppressive atmosphere, she felt like her heart was about to burst out of her chest.

She had never been good at combat, and now she couldn't detect the enemy's position at all.

There was only one thought in her mind.

I'm going to die!

If this continued, she would definitely die!

At that moment, a dozen shurikens flew out of the thick fog.

Rin Nohara quickly dodged, but she still reacted a little too late and several shurikens hit her in the thigh, abdomen, and arm.

"Damn it!"

Rin Nohara struggled to her feet, despair in her eyes.

With the fog covering everything, by the time she noticed the shurikens, it was already too late to react.

Feeling the blood gushing from her wounds, Rin Nohara, being a medical ninja, didn't dare use the Mystical Palm Technique to heal herself.

At a time like this, a small distraction could mean death.

But as time went on, Rin Nohara's face grew pale from blood loss.

Finally, her mind went blank for an instant.

And in that same instant, the Mist ninja who had been lurking in the fog launched his attack.

The longsword gleamed with a cold light and headed for Rin Nohara's neck.

"Am I going to die?"

Rin Nohara murmured to herself, preparing to welcome death.

She no longer had the strength to dodge the enemy's attack.

The longsword got closer and closer to her neck. Rin Nohara could even see the grotesque smile on her enemy's face.

Chirp!

The sound of the Chidori was heard and a young man suddenly appeared in front of Rin Nohara at an incredible speed.

The light of the lightning illuminated the young man's handsome face. Rin Nohara's mouth fell wide open.

"Mirai!"

Before Rin Nohara could finish speaking, the young man had already disappeared.

On the ground, the previous Mist ninja writhed with a broken neck.

Seeing this scene, Rin Nohara couldn't help but fall to her knees on the ground.

She didn't know why, but despite having been saved, at that moment she felt her heart beating even harder than before.

A few seconds later.

"Wind Style: Passing Typhoon!"

A violent wind instantly dispelled the thick fog.

The sunlight shone again and the surroundings became clear and visible once more.

Rin Nohara's eyes widened in horror.

On the ground, several corpses were scattered.

Each of them had their eyes open, as if they had died unable to rest in peace.

Rin Nohara quickly got up from the ground and checked the bodies one by one, finally sighing with resignation.

There was nothing to be done.

Not far away, Mirai Uchiha broke the last Mist Village ninja's neck and showed an apologetic smile: "Sorry, I arrived a little late."

"But... the hero always arrives one step late."

Kakashi Hatake approached and looked at Mirai Uchiha with gratitude: "Mirai, you've saved us once again."

With that said, he looked again at the Mist Jōnin lying on the ground with a broken neck.

That guy had almost pushed him to his limit, but in Mirai Uchiha's hands, he hadn't lasted a second.

This guy... to what extent had he grown?!

"Rin!"

The first thing Obito Uchiha did upon getting up from the ground was to run to Rin Nohara's side.

Seeing Rin injured, Obito Uchiha clenched his fists in fury: "These damn Mist Village bastards!"

"Obito, I'm fine." Rin replied to Obito and then, dragging her injured body, she approached Mirai Uchiha.

"Mirai, thank you so much."

"If it weren't for you..."

Rin still felt the fear in her body.

If Mirai Uchiha had arrived a second later, she would be a corpse right now.

"Don't worry. First, let me heal you."

Mirai Uchiha smiled faintly and placed his hand on Rin Nohara's leg.

The next second, a green light appeared.

Rin Nohara's wound healed visibly.

"Wow! Mirai, you know medical ninjutsu too?"

Rin Nohara said, amazed.

The Jutsu Mirai Uchiha had just used was much better than hers.

This man, how did he know how to do everything?

Faced with Rin Nohara's amazement, Mirai Uchiha said indifferently: "It never hurts to know a bit of everything. It's always good to learn more things."

On the side, Kakashi Hatake, upon hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, showed a bit of confusion in his eyes.

Wait a minute, bro, that's not what you told me.

Obito Uchiha, for his part, was practically grinding his teeth to dust.

Damn it!

This bastard, how dare he...

If he had known, he would have learned medical ninjutsu too.

"Huh?"

"Obito, your eyes..."

Rin Nohara looked at Obito Uchiha with a surprised expression.

Kakashi Hatake's eyes also showed astonishment.

Seeing their expressions, Obito Uchiha rubbed his eyes, puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Rin Nohara took a small mirror out of her ninja tool pouch: "See for yourself."

Obito Uchiha took the mirror and his eyes widened.

He had awakened the Sharingan!

"Hahahaha... I've finally awakened the Sharingan! That's great!"

Obito Uchiha laughed out loud with his hands on his hips and then, looking at Kakashi Hatake and Mirai Uchiha, said loudly: "Just you wait. It won't be long before this great lord surpasses you."

Kakashi Hatake rolled his eyes: "Idiot."

Mirai Uchiha, for his part, said indifferently: "A one-tomoe Sharingan, how strong~"

"Obito, look at my eyes."

A pair of Mangekyō Sharingan with terrifying ocular power appeared. Obito Uchiha's smile immediately vanished: "You bastard, are you showing off to me?"

Mirai Uchiha nodded: "That's right, are you jealous?"

"Ah!!! Damn you!"

Seeing Obito Uchiha kicking the ground in rage, Mirai Uchiha frowned: "Keep it down, don't bother me while I'm healing Rin."

With that said, Mirai Uchiha moved his hand from Rin Nohara's leg to her abdomen again.

Seeing this scene, Obito Uchiha felt like crying.

He really wanted to kill this bastard!!!
