Naruto: Free Life

(); "Dang~"

Obito clenched the kunai in his hand and tried to block the short sword of an Iwa nin in front of him.

"Don't underestimate me."

Obito yelled and forced the Iwa nin in front of him to retreat and quickly formed seals with his hands.

"Art fire escape ho fireball."

A fireball shot out of Obito's mouth and headed straight for the Iwa nin.

"Earth Escape - Split the earth and turn your palms."

And the skinny Iwa Ninja was not a rookie. The moment he landed, he held the short knife in his mouth and started to form seals. After completing the seals, he made a fist with his right hand and slammed it on the ground in front of him.

"boom!"

The fireball collided with the earth pillar and exploded, causing a huge plume of smoke to instantly cover the battlefield.

"Tsk."

In the smoke, when Obito saw that his ninjutsu was blocked, he clenched the kunai in his hand in anger and alerted the surroundings.

"Zizzizi..."

Suddenly, a sound that sounded like a flock of birds came to everyone's ears. "Whoosh~"

Just as Obito was searching for the source of the sound, a blue electric light passed by him, followed by a surge of electric light and screams all around him.

When the smoke and dust dissipated, the enemy's corpses were scattered everywhere, and Kakashi was panting and standing in the middle of the enemy's corpses with a ball of lightning in his hand.

"Huh~, the mission continues."

Kakashi dispersed the lightning in his hand, pulled out the White Fang from the enemy's corpse, put it back into the scabbard, looked at Obito and Nohara Rin, who had a dusty face, and said.

"Retreat first."

Obito pulled Nohara Lin aside and the three of them quickly left the place.

In just half an hour, the three of them had encountered three waves of searches by ninja teams. Without Minato's protection, every battle was very difficult. This made Obito understand his own weakness and Kakashi's ability to become the leader. A jounin is definitely more than that perfect mission report.

"Take a break for a while."

Kakashi collapsed on the ground in a tree hole that was being opened and said tiredly.

"Kakashi! Your hands."

Only then did Nohara Rin notice Kakashi's burnt and somewhat blackened hand. She quickly ran to Kakashi's side and gently held his hand to treat it with a healing technique.

He didn't say anything about Harano Lin's treatment of Kakashi. After all, if his condition improved, the chance of success of this mission would increase.

"What is Kakashi's mission?"

Obito asked, looking worriedly at Kakashi's slowly recovering hand.

"Blow up the Kannabi Bridge."

Turning to look at Obito, Kakashi closed his eyes and said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, Obito stayed where he was. After years of war, he also knew what Kannabi Bridge meant to Iwa Ninja Village.

"Just the three of us?"

Obito looked at Kakashi in disbelief.

"Yes."

Kakashi quickly regained his strength. The next battle still required him to be the main attacker.

"Is that right?"

Obito sat on the ground dejectedly and said, such a task cannot be described as a narrow escape.

"If you're afraid, you can stay here and wait for Minato-sensei's support."

Just when Obito began to feel confused, Kakashi's plain voice reached his ears.

"I..."

Obito was about to retort but found that his trembling legs could no longer stand up.

Kakashi didn't even open his eyes. He knew that Obito, the only reliable person in the next mission, couldn't be counted on.

"Clap, clap."

The sound of a few drops of water falling on the ground.

Kakashi opened his eyes and looked at Nohara Rin who was crying but still treating him with his hands.

"You might as well stay here with him, you two will be a liability to me once you get here.'

Kakashi did not comfort Nohara Rin who was crying in front of him, closed his eyes again and said calmly.

"No, I won't let you go into danger alone, Kakashi."

Nohara Lin wiped the tears from her face and spoke firmly while maintaining the healing technique in her hands.

"boom!!"

At this moment, the three of them were finally discovered by the enemy. A huge explosion broke the branches.

Kakashi, who was well prepared, pushed Nohara Rin aside, pulled out the white teeth on his back and faced a figure jumping down from above.

"Dang, Dang..."

The two figures kept fighting in the air, and in the final blow they were both knocked away by each other at the same time.

"Lin!!"

Obito, who was affected by the explosion, stood up in embarrassment, just in time to see an invisible Iwa ninja use an illusion to stun Nohara Rin and then grab her and disappear.

But facing the powerful enemy in front of him, Kakashi couldn't escape. He could only stare at the Iwa Ninja with superb swordsmanship in front of him.

"Leech, retreat first."

Iwa Ninja Oishi grabbed Nohara Lin and appeared behind Demon Leech.

"cut."

Thinking of his mission, the demon leech threw two smoke bombs angrily. After the smoke dispersed, the two people disappeared.

"Lin..."

Obito watched helplessly from a distance as Lin was taken away by the two men, unable to do anything.

Kakashi also put away the White Fang in his hand with a solemn expression.

"The task must be stepped up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kakashi rushed to the mission.

"Save Lin first."

Obito caught up and grabbed Kakashi's arm and said in a deep voice.

"Those who violate the ninja rules are useless. We must complete the mission as soon as possible before Nohara Rin reveals our mission."

Kakashi shook Obito away and grabbed his hand and said calmly.

"Kakashi!"

Seeing Kakashi's disregard for Hara Lin's life, Obito angrily called out Kakashi's name.

"Those who violate ninja rules are trash, but those who don't know how to value their companions are worse than trash!"

Seeing that Kakashi had no hope, Obito took off the damaged goggles on his forehead and threw them aside, fastened his forehead protector, grabbed the knife bag on the ground, and ran in the direction where Nohara Lin disappeared.

"I'm right."

Kakashi glanced at Obito who disappeared, murmured, suppressed the confusion in his eyes, turned around and walked towards the Kannabi Bridge.
