Naruto: Immortal Spirit

Kato Oo didn't expect that his first mission with Namikaze Minato would be to go to the Kumo Ninja battlefield...

There is a long and narrow jungle and mountains between the Kingdom of Iron and the Country of Fields, but now it has become a battlefield between Kumo Ninja and Konoha.

The mountain wind here was very strong, and despite the howling wind, Kato Oo followed behind Minato Namikaze.

On one side of him was Uchiha Obito and on the other was Nohara Lin. The four of them were walking rapidly through the woods.

Although Uchiha Obito was already a chuunin wearing goggles, he was still just a child, always chattering, so Kato Ou had to bear Obito's resentful gaze and cut off his sight.

There were two streaks of purple paint on Lin's face, which reminded Kato Oo of Jiraiya, and the smile when she faced Obito also made Kato Oo feel familiar. A girl once did this to him. Laughed...

"Hey, Kato Oo, you guy, don't peek at Lin!"

"Ok."

Without any intention of arguing with Obito, Kato Ou nodded expressionlessly, as if looking at a child, which made Obito very unhappy.

"Obito, please stop talking. We are about to leave the Fire Country..."

Lin's voice was very clear. Although they had only been together for a few days, in Kato O's opinion, Minato's orders might not be as effective as Lin's words.

"Lin, I..." He wanted to say something more, but seeing Lin's angry eyes, Obito quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

Although Obito was a little dazed, he was not stupid. He also knew that he was about to enter the enemy's range of activities, so he said no more.

In the entire mountain forest, there was only the sound of the whistling wind and the subtle movements of the four people. Kato Oo remained silent, sensing the changes around him.

After marching for about an hour, Namikaze Minato raised his hand gently, and all four of them stopped. With some vigilance, Kato Ou leaned lightly behind a big tree.

"Xu, Obito, and Lin, after arriving on the battlefield, I may not have time to take care of the three of you sometimes. You must always pay attention to the enemy.

I will transfer Kakashi over as the deputy captain of the team. Once I am gone, the four of you will form a team immediately. "

"Yes! Watergate-sama!"

"Xu, we haven't arrived at the camp yet, so there's no need to be so serious..."

Minato Namikaze's voice came slowly, mixed with a hint of laughter, but Kato Oo remained silent and did not respond.

"Minato-sensei! Why that guy Kakashi!"

"Obito, the jounin in the village is limited, so we can only call Kakashi. Do you want to become Hokage, so you have to disobey military orders for the first time on the battlefield?"

With a narrow smile, Namikaze Minato looked at Obito who had a big mouth and didn't know how to refute, and rubbed his head.

"Lin, if you have the opportunity, you can communicate more with Xu about medical ninjutsu... Xu is still very proficient in medical ninjutsu..."

"Yes, Minato-sensei!"

"No, this guy is more hateful than that guy Kakashi!"

"Obito! Don't be rude!"

Lin lightly knocked Obito's head, and Obito curled his lips, made a face at Kato Oo, and then nodded muffledly.

"I know, Lin..."

Minato also smiled when he saw how well-behaved Obito was. With Lin as the binding agent, it seemed like he didn't have to worry too much about how they got along.

"Okay, the camp is almost here. Let's make some final repairs. From now on, you must always pay attention to the surrounding environment. The enemy will never show any mercy to you."

"Yes!"

Konoha's camp was not too far away, and the last stretch of the journey went quite smoothly. They did not encounter any enemies, nor did they encounter any Konoha ninjas.

But the fallen trees and the badly damaged terrain told Kato Ou that the war had already entered a feverish state since the first contact.

The Konoha camp was also filled with a chilling atmosphere, and the clouds of war had completely enveloped the entire front line.

"Minato-sensei disappeared again... When can we go to the battlefield..."

Each team was only divided into a tent. Due to the surprise attack by Kumo Ninja, Konoha's fortress at the border has been occupied by the enemy.

All the ninjas originally stationed inside have been killed. Now they can only set up camp in a secret place to temporarily serve as a strategic command center.

Ever since Minato brought them to the camp, they had never seen anyone again. The occasional meeting was just in a hurry and they couldn't say a few words.

"Obito, don't be anxious...Minato-sensei said that we will not be allowed to carry out the mission until Kakashi arrives."

Lin seemed a little unaccustomed to living with two boys, or maybe she just wasn't used to staying with Kato Oo, sitting alone in the corner.

Kato Ou could feel her eyes scanning him several times, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.

"It's been two days! What is that guy Kakashi doing!"

Although he was very happy with Lin, Obito couldn't suppress his anger when he thought of Kakashi.

"coming……"

Kato Oo sat on the other side of the tent, closing his eyes and concentrating. From the chattering Obito, Kato Oo also roughly knew Kakashi's identity and his characteristics.

In his perception, a ninja about their size wearing a mask was slowly walking towards their tent.

"Weird Kato, what did you say? Who is here?"

Looking at Kato Oo sitting in the corner of the tent, motionless all day long, Obito labeled Kato Oo a weirdo from the bottom of his heart.

"Obito, don't give other people random nicknames!"

While Obito and Lin were playing around, Kato Oo looked at the door of the tent. With a slightly gloomy look in his eyes, the boy carrying a short sword gently opened the door of the tent.

"I thought I heard someone calling my name..."

Leaning against the wooden pillar at the door, the white-haired boy glanced at Obito and Lin, but focused on Kato Oo.

"Ka... Kakashi?"

"You guy! You guy! Do you know how long I've been waiting?"

"asshole!"

Obito was stunned for a moment, then rushed forward, but was easily dodged by the white-haired boy.

"Obito, you seem to be a little stronger...although you are still weak..."

"Kakashi, you are finally here!"

Lin also looked a little relieved. She turned her head and looked at Kato O who was still sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed.

"Kato-kun, this is Kakashi, he will be our captain from now on..."

"Kakashi, this is Kato Oo, the new member of our team..."

Lin has been trying to break down the barriers in the team, but she can never find an opportunity. Kato Oo can feel the kindness in her heart.

"Konoha genin Kato O has met Captain Kakashi!"

Kato O stood up and looked at Kakashi. The gloomy dead fish had a look of fear hidden in his eyes. It seemed that he must know something. Namikaze Minato must have told him his root identity. .

"Kato Ou... are you a genin..."

Kakashi turned his head slightly, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.

"Kato Kai...Xu..., did you fail the Chunin Exam..."

Obito looked at Kato Oo and nodded slightly, but there was a look of sympathy in his eyes, as if he had completely forgotten the unhappiness of the past few days in an instant.

"The Chuunin exam is indeed difficult, and it is indeed difficult for ordinary genin to pass..."

"Don't worry, I will protect you on the battlefield!"

Obito patted Kato Oo on the shoulder and looked at Kato Oo with the eyes of a fellow student and a fellow sufferer.

"You'd better take care of yourself..."

But Kato Oo's slightly cold words made the smile on Uchiha Obito's face freeze.
