Early the next morning, the trio of Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara went to find Mirai Uchiha.
"Mirai, we're returning to the village today."
Rin Nohara's tone was a bit melancholic, and she didn't seem to be in a very good mood.
Mirai Uchiha frowned, puzzled: "Did you receive a new mission?"
Kakashi Hatake nodded: "That's right, but we can't reveal the content of the mission."
Obito Uchiha approached Mirai Uchiha and snorted proudly: "The one we received this time is a secret S-Rank mission, you know? ~"
"Just you wait, it won't be long before we become the heroes of the village."
Hearing that, Mirai Uchiha immediately thought of something.
An S-Rank mission that Kakashi's team could undertake in this period should be the mission to destroy the Kannabi Bridge from the original story.
Thinking of this, Mirai Uchiha couldn't help but warn them: "S-Rank missions are extremely dangerous, especially at a time like this."
"You must be very careful."
In the original story, Kakashi Hatake's left eye was injured by the Rock Village ninja, Taiseki, during the Kannabi Bridge mission.
Rin Nohara also almost lost her life.
And Obito Uchiha began his path to darkness in this very battle.
Besides...
Now, due to his butterfly effect, many things in the ninja world had already deviated from the original plot, so Mirai Uchiha didn't know what kind of fate awaited Kakashi and the others this time.
"Don't worry, Mirai."
"I'll take good care of both of them."
Kakashi Hatake said seriously, looking at Mirai Uchiha.
Mirai Uchiha had taught him many things and he had already overcome his own internal conflicts.
Whatever happened, he would not abandon his comrades.
Hearing Kakashi Hatake's words, a smile appeared on Obito Uchiha's lips, but out of habit, he retorted: "Tsk! Kakashi, stop talking so much."
"After awakening the Sharingan, this great lord is not the same as before. If you slow me down, I won't forgive you."
To this, Kakashi made a simple and clear comment: "Idiot."
"Huh? Kakashi, are you insulting me again?"
"What do you want to do? Crybaby!"
"Damn it, I'm going to kill you today."
"Before you talk big, take off those goggles. At least then you won't look so childish."
"Ah!!!"
Rin Nohara, strangely, paid no attention to the fight between Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha, but looked at Mirai Uchiha with a complex expression.
After a long while, as if she had gathered all her courage, she approached Mirai Uchiha: "Mirai, we're leaving now, and I don't know if we'll make it back alive this time. I... I... can I give you a hug?"
Hearing Rin Nohara's words, Mirai Uchiha's mouth fell open in surprise.
He had never expected Rin Nohara to make such a request.
Clearly, they hadn't interacted that much.
However, Mirai Uchiha had no intention of refusing. He opened his arms and gently hugged Rin Nohara, smiling slightly: "You'll surely come back alive, I trust you."
With that said, he took a sealing scroll from his clothes.
"Sealed inside here are black flames that never extinguish. If you encounter a problem you can't solve, summon them."
"Be careful not to hurt yourself."
Being a good guy doesn't always work, but if a girl has already shown her interest, a little extra attention is the right thing to do.
Letting go of Rin Nohara, Mirai Uchiha suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him had become strangely silent.
He looked up and saw that Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha were staring at him, stunned.
"Don't get me wrong, I just didn't want to go against a lady's wishes."
"Ah... there really aren't many understanding guys like me left."
"By the way, don't go telling anyone about this. Of course, it's not because I'm afraid Kurenai will give me trouble, it's just that I'm afraid if other girls find out, they won't be able to resist and will also come asking me for a hug."
Seeing Mirai Uchiha's serious expression, Kakashi Hatake suddenly felt as if he had had a revelation.
So you could be that smooth.
Thinking this, Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but approach and smile: "Mirai, you speak in a very interesting way, could you teach me?"
Mirai Uchiha pouted: "This is innate, it can't be taught."
Seeing this, Kakashi Hatake stealthily took a book from his clothes: "I'll trade you for this."
Seeing the scantily clad figure on the book's cover, Mirai Uchiha's face changed: "So you bribe an officer with this kind of thing? I read the classics!"
With that said, he snatched the book from Kakashi's hands and put it away.
"This... let's leave the farewell here. Until next time."
Seeing Mirai Uchiha leave without looking back, Kakashi Hatake felt like crying.
He had truly lost on all fronts. This time the loss was huge.
"Let's go too."
Looking at an Obito Uchiha who had been heartbroken from the beginning, Kakashi Hatake patted him on the shoulder: "Obito, give up."
"You can't win."
Obito Uchiha came to his senses and glanced sideways at a Rin Nohara who was smiling foolishly beside him. His blood-red, one-tomoe Sharingan began to spin slowly.

Land of Fire.
On the battlefront, a dozen Konoha Village ninjas were hiding behind a mound of earth, despair in their eyes.
"Haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? We can't hold out much longer!"
"Damn it, is this how it ends? How frustrating."
"We're almost out of chakra and ninja tools. Get ready to fight to the death."
Looking at the tide of Mist Village ninjas before them, the dozen Konoha ninjas prepared for one last, desperate attempt.
But when they looked up, they saw dozens of Mist ninjas in front of them forming seals at the same time: "Water Style: Great Waterfall Jutsu!"
The water jutsu released by dozens of people together was like an ocean wave, overwhelming everything in its path.
Seeing this scene, the hearts of the Konoha ninjas sank completely.
The enemy wasn't even giving them a chance to fight to the death.
With such a powerful impact of water, they would probably be crushed and turned into pulp in an instant.
Splash!
The wave of water rose into the sky and fell with incomparable force.
At that moment, countless particles of gold dust spread from a distance, forming a solid barrier over the Konoha ninjas.
Boom!
The wave of water crashed against the gold dust, producing a deafening sound. Even the earth trembled slightly, but the gold dust protecting them remained indestructible.
A few seconds later, everything returned to calm.
A young man with an indifferent expression, sitting on the gold dust, slowly descended from the sky.
Immediately after, as if they had received an order, all the gold dust particles flowed into the small gourd the young man wore at his waist.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the Konoha ninjas filled with astonishment.
To have blocked such an attack by himself, he was simply too strong!
And...
That entrance had been incredibly cool!
