Chapter 174 Tobi, the Unleashed Young Kakashi
"What kind of guy is he? How can someone who isn't a Konoha ninja possess the Mangekyou Sharingan? Could he be a rogue Uchiha ninja??" Less than three minutes later, Tobi, the White Zetsu, suddenly emerged from underground and shouted excitedly.
That's the Mangekyou Sharingan! Even among the Uchiha clan, very few possess it.
"Uh, it was just a black-robed man wearing a tiger-striped mask. If I hadn't been observing carefully, I really wouldn't have noticed him. For more details, I'll have Lord Madara check my memories." Ishikawa looked at Tobi and started making things up again, secretly considering the feasibility of abducting this guy.
Tobi, the White Zetsu, is a rare combat-type White Zetsu. Not only can it envelop the user's entire body, but it can also amplify their combat strength, which is incredibly tempting for Ishikawa.
However, precisely because of this, Tobi's strength is comparable to that of a Jonin, so if you want to control him unexpectedly, you still have to act according to the situation!
"A man in a black robe wearing a tiger-striped mask?" Afei scratched his head suspiciously, but didn't think much of it and immediately spread his curled-up body. "Never mind, let's not keep Lord Ban waiting. It'll be faster if I take you there."
Both are Mayfly Techniques, but Tobi, with his Jonin level, is much faster than the Genin White Zetsu.
"What a nuisance..." Ishikawa grumbled, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
He was just thinking about how to surprise them, and here it is, delivered right to his doorstep!
As they spoke, Afei had already enveloped his body and activated the Mayfly Technique...
While Afei was diligently making his way, "Whoosh!!"
Suddenly, a burst of blue-white fluorescence erupted from the White Zetsu within him and shot into the outer shell of his brain. White Zetsu Afei felt a moment of confusion before returning to normal.
"Huh? What just happened? I feel like something's trying to attack my head?"
"What is that? What happened?" Ishikawa, having failed in his intrusion, reverted to his White Zetsu form, forcing himself to remain calm, though his heart was in turmoil.
The spiritification technique failed! What happened??
Is Tobi brainless, or is this guy just special? Or did Madara Uchiha leave something on him?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Even though he was discovered, the spell was dispelled and he returned to his original body. But Ishikawa's spirit still couldn't help but shudder and feel a chill run down its spine!
He's gotten arrogant, he's really gotten arrogant! Tobi is someone who can even nullify Orochimaru's cursed seal, yet he actually treats him as just an enhanced White Zetsu.
"Never mind, I'll just ask Lord Madara when I see him..." The clueless Ma Dahao Afei shook his head and sighed, continuing to bury his head in his journey and soon arrived at the border between the Land of Grass, the Land of Rain, and the Land of Earth.
[The lair of Madara is actually here, not under the Kannabi Bridge!] Seeing Tobi stop, Ishikawa was secretly overjoyed.
Although the location was slightly different from what he had expected, he finally found his target!
Ishikawa could understand this situation, since Nagato was in the Land of Rain, and Madara Uchiha couldn't possibly leave him unattended.
Furthermore, looking back, even if Madara Uchiha was absolutely certain of defeating Obito, the Iwa ninja were even more proficient in Earth Release. Given the importance of his resurrection plan, he couldn't simply expose his stronghold to the Iwa ninja and increase the risk.
As for why Obito woke up in the original storyline and encountered Madara Uchiha on the underground side of Kannabi Bridge, Ishikawa remained noncommittal.
The Ten-Tails is not immobile. While Obito was unconscious, Madara Uchiha could have easily moved to this underground location and then conveniently tricked Obito.
[Therefore, this operation must be carried out with utmost caution. Afei is a cautionary tale!] Following behind Afei, Ishikawa sneaked underground, a resolute glint in his eyes as he looked at the emerging underground base.
He had originally planned to control Tobi to infiltrate and gather information on Madara, perhaps even managing to pull the plug on Madara's lifeline. But the failed intrusion just now told him it was best to play it safe and make a quick getaway!
In the next instant, Ishikawa unleashed his full power without hesitation to dismantle the White Zetsu's soul-dispelling technique. Almost the instant the soul collapsed, the White Zetsu immediately suffered brain death, lost its balance, and transformed into a tree rooted in the ground.
And Ishikawa's spirit vanished the instant he transformed into a tree...
"Huh? What's going on?" Hearing the noise behind him, Afei turned around and saw the evolved trees and a fleeting blue and white fluorescent light.
"That light... was it some kind of ninjutsu that ambushed me?!" After a moment of stunned silence, Tobi suddenly realized what was happening and took off running. "Lord Madara, something terrible has happened! The light killed someone!!"
Leaving aside the chaos and suspicion on this side, at the same time, on the border of the Land of Fire...
"Wait, something's happened!"
Suddenly, Minato Namikaze, who was leading the way, tapped the ground with one hand and his gaze turned solemn. "Hmm, there are about 20 people, most likely shadow clones..."
"Shadow clones? Then let's finish them off in one go." Kakashi's gaze turned cold upon hearing this, and his hands quickly formed hand seals, instantly unleashing a torrent of lightning and electricity in his palms...
"What is this?" Obito's eyes widened as he stared in disbelief at the visible lightning chakra.
"This is my A-rank Lightning Release: Chidori, which I developed based on my teacher's Rasengan." Kakashi's palm throbbed with confidence, his gaze causing Obito and Rin to turn their heads in astonishment.
"Kakashi, don't rush, let's..." Minato Namikaze was about to persuade them to launch a team attack, but Kakashi interrupted him before he could finish speaking, "The teacher said before that I am the captain, so listen to me this time."
"Obito, provide cover! Rin, prepare to provide backup..."
"Yes." Obito and Rin answered simultaneously, almost instinctively.
The two men's responses and Kakashi's orders made Minato Namikaze nod in approval of their teamwork.
The next instant, "They're on!!"
Kakashi let out a low shout and charged forward with the Chidori in hand, his lightning bolts echoing through the forest...
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."
Almost at the same time as Kakashi's action, several shuriken suddenly shot out from the forest.
Kakashi ignored this and continued his sprint!
"Bang bang bang..." Just then, several kunai, arriving later but arriving first, blocked the kunai shuriken at precise angles.
"Iwagakure ninjas, don't underestimate the shuriken techniques of the Uchiha!" Obito shouted confidently, his eyes bloodshot, his gaze fixed on Kakashi as he predicted the trajectory and provided cover.
At the same time, "Puff puff puff puff..."
As Kakashi's Chidori darted through the trees, the Iwa ninja's shadow clones shattered and turned into white smoke one after another.
But just as the final blow was about to be delivered, the Iwa ninja seized the opportunity and used shadow clones as cover to swing his sword from a blind spot.
"Not good!!" Suddenly, Minato Namikaze, who was watching from a distance, changed his expression slightly. With Kakashi's current speed, he might not be able to react in time, and in the end, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
You've been tricked.
In the blink of an eye, just as Minato Namikaze was charging forward, Kakashi smirked as his body suddenly crackled with lightning, his speed increasing several times over in an instant.
Just as the Iwa ninja was about to swing his longsword and open his chest, Chidori pierced through his chest like lightning.
"Damn it, how could he be so fast all of a sudden?!" Filled with resentment and regret, Iwa ninja collapsed with wide eyes.
Minato Namikaze, who was also charging forward, stopped and stared in surprise at Kakashi's back, which was flashing with lightning arcs.
That move just now, it looked a bit like a Lightning Release ninjutsu from Kumogakure?
