Chirp chirp chirp!
Pfft!
Pfft!
The blinding lightning vanished in an instant. The sound of Kakashi's Chidori piercing the Iwa Ninja's heart and the sound of the Iwa Ninja's dual blades striking Kakashi's chest rang out simultaneously. Hot blood sprayed, splattering both of them in the face!
"H… how could this be…"
The Iwa Ninja mumbled in disbelief, the light fading from his eyes!
He never imagined he would die at the hands of a mere child!
"Damn it, I'm injured!"
Kakashi endured the pain in his chest, shoving the Iwa Ninja Jonin away. The Jonin's body crashed to the ground with a thud, but the twin blades remained embedded in Kakashi, blood dripping steadily from the wounds!
It's all because of the soul fusion. My soul and body aren't perfectly aligned, or I wouldn't have gotten hurt!
Kakashi gritted his teeth and pulled the two short blades from his body, cursing inwardly!
What should I do? The Iwa Ninja reinforcements will be here soon. I can't possibly hold out until sensei arrives in this condition!
Feeling his growing weakness, Kakashi thought about the events to come, and immediately became anxious. A group of Iwa Ninja would arrive shortly. The original Kakashi, uninjured, could hold them off just long enough for Minato Namikaze to arrive, but now he was wounded!
Everything had deviated from the original plot!
A hint of panic flickered in Kakashi's eyes, but he didn't give in to despair.
Swish, swish!
Then Kakashi immediately flashed away, returning to the layer of rocks!
"Kakashi, are you hurt?"
As soon as Kakashi appeared above, Rin saw him. Seeing the injuries on Kakashi, she immediately exclaimed!
"Kakashi..."
Hearing that Kakashi was injured, Obito Uchiha also called out softly!
"Be quiet, Rin! Quickly help me with emergency treatment, a team of enemies is coming!"
Kakashi leaped in front of Rin, his expression serious as he spoke!
"Yes!"
Seeing Kakashi's expression, Rin immediately suppressed the worry in her eyes and started treating Kakashi seriously!
"Obito, don't worry. Even if I have to risk my life, I will protect Rin!"
Seeing that Obito Uchiha seemed to have something to say, Kakashi knew that Obito was worried about him, and most importantly, about Rin's safety. He immediately spoke, his tone filled with determination!
"Be... careful... You must... live..."
Obito Uchiha opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to Rin, but he didn't. He only told Kakashi and Rin to be careful, that survival was the most important thing!
"Cough... cough..."
After saying that, Obito Uchiha coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood!
His breathing became extremely difficult, as if he could lose consciousness at any moment. He was already in a near-death state!
"Obito..."
Seeing Obito Uchiha's condition, Rin couldn't help but cry out in sorrow, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face!
"Be careful, the enemy is here!"
Kakashi buried his own sadness, whispering sternly. He had already sensed the movement outside; from the sounds, there were a total of twelve enemies!
"The enemy is inside, attack together!"
Then Kakashi heard a faint voice from outside!
The enemy didn't seem to care if Kakashi and the others heard them!
"Damn, it really isn't possible to hide and stall!"
Hearing this, Kakashi cursed inwardly. He had originally wanted to remain still, hoping to buy some time!
Minato Namikaze would arrive soon!
However, the enemies were all elites, and they quickly discovered their location within the layers of rock!
"Kakashi, quickly take Rin and go..."
At this moment, Obito Uchiha's panicked voice also rang in Kakashi's ears!
Evidently, in this life-or-death situation, Obito Uchiha's senses had also become exceptionally sharp!
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"...
Several low shouts rang out, and a total of six Iwa Ninja launched an Earth Release attack together. The sound of the ground cracking reverberated, and the ground trembled slightly!
"Ah..."
Rin exclaimed in surprise!
Her hands, which were treating Kakashi, stopped applying medical ninjutsu!
"Go!"
The situation was critical. Kakashi didn't hesitate at all, immediately pulling Rin into his arms. Then, with a leap, he jumped out, and after reaching the top, his figure quickly dodged away!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The instant Kakashi jumped away with Rin in his arms, the Iwa Ninja's Earth Release attacks slammed into the layers of rock, rumbling loudly. The already unstable pile of rubble immediately collapsed!
Obito Uchiha's form was instantly swallowed by the rocks!
"Obito..."
"Obito..."
Kakashi and Rin, who were leaving, discovered that Obito Uchiha was buried, and both cried out in their hearts!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
However, Kakashi knew the danger of the moment and didn't linger. Holding Rin, he leaped repeatedly, entering the nearby forest. But Kakashi was seriously injured, and after only carrying Rin for two hundred meters, he had to stop on a tree!
"Rin! Quick, help me bandage it up urgently!"
Kakashi's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face was terrifyingly pale!
The injuries on his body were very serious. Kakashi was completely relying on his willpower; otherwise, he would have collapsed long ago!
I can't fall down, or I'm finished. Rin will die too, and then I'll have failed Obito's request!
Kakashi thought fiercely to himself!
He bit his own tongue, preventing himself from falling unconscious!
Sensei will arrive soon. I just need to hold out until Sensei gets here!
Kakashi's mind raced, trying to figure out how to stall for time!
"Mm..."
Rin had already noticed the blood on Kakashi's body flowing again because she had stopped the treatment. Hearing Kakashi's words, she choked out a sound of agreement and quickly took out bandages to wrap around Kakashi's wounds!
While helping Kakashi bandage his wounds, Rin's eyes streamed with tears.
Half of it was sorrow over Obito Uchiha's passing, and the other half was heartache over Kakashi's injuries.
"Rin! Obito really liked you, he liked you a lot!"
"So no matter what, I'll protect you!"
Seeing Rin's reaction, Kakashi, just like in the original story, spoke to her with both sadness and determination.
He would protect Rin because of Obito Uchiha.
The new soul hadn't fully integrated with the body yet, so the original Kakashi's soul still primarily controlled his consciousness and thoughts.
"I... I know..."
"Then, Kakashi, my feelings..."
Rin was flustered at the words, her chest feeling heavy and tight, making it hard to breathe. She didn't want Kakashi to stop liking her because of Obito Uchiha. Even though the timing wasn't right, Rin still wanted to express her feelings to Kakashi!
