Naruto: Immortal Spirit

"Parker! Can we find any trace of this Kumo ninja team?"

Compared with Kato Oo's perception, which can be used to avoid encounters in advance, Parker's sense of smell is very suitable for handling such pursuit battles.

Obito held the scroll containing the corpses of more than a dozen Konoha ninjas, and looked at Parker with eyes full of expectation.

"That direction!"

Parker kept sniffing on the ground, suddenly raised his head and looked into a deep jungle, and then took the lead and ran wildly.

"go!"

Obito lost his usual chatter, and followed Parker's footsteps with a dull voice.

"Obito, be careful!"

Kakashi came to the rear, with Kato O and Lin following Obito.

The wind swayed the tops of the tall trees with a huge slow rustle.

The four of them walked quickly but did not say any words. Kato Ou could feel that Obito was like a volcano about to erupt, just looking for a suitable moment.

"The Kumo ninja team that can kill a dozen Konoha chuunin and genin, and even two jounin, must be one of their elite teams..."

"Only we may not be able to defeat..."

Lin's voice suddenly sounded, but looking at Obito, who was already leading the way, and Kakashi and Kato O, who were expressionless, her voice became smaller and smaller.

"Lin, this is for you, take it with you..."

"The death of these guys is already destined..."

Kakashi took out Minato's special kunai from his arms and handed it to Lin, with anger hidden in his eyes.

"But……"

"stop!"

"hidden!"

Kato O's voice sounded, interrupting Lin who was still about to say something, and the four of them quickly hid behind the big tree.

The soul fluctuations he emitted sensed a four-man team of Cloud Ninja hidden in front of him.

"There are enemies, four in total, about one kilometer northeast..."

The four people hiding behind the big tree communicated with each other using gestures.

"It's moving, but not very fast. There should be no sensing ninja..."

The Kumo ninja team in the distance still maintained its original speed. Kato Oo gestured to Kakashi, and Kakashi nodded.

"Obito, Lin, lurk and intercept..."

"Parker, go!"

Kakashi waved gently, and Parker, Obito and Lin disappeared into the jungle in an instant.

Kato Ou looked at Kakashi and knew that he was still afraid of him, so he did not let him, the most suitable person, go to the front to accurately position and intercept Kumo Ninja.

"You and I will outflank you..."

Kakashi took out his short sword, glanced at Kato Oo, and then spoke slowly.

"Yes, Captain Kakashi..."

Kato Oo followed Kakashi expressionlessly, and the shadows of the trees fell on his face, flickering.

"It's them, the Cloud Ninjas in the bunker!"

Parker lay on Obito's shoulder and sniffed gently to confirm their identity.

"It seems that this Cloud Ninja team is in charge of this area..."

"That's great……"

Lin looked at Obito who was gritting his teeth. She didn't know what to say, so she just gently tugged Obito's arm.

"Lin, don't worry, I won't act recklessly..."

Hidden in the woods, Obito and Lin were lurking, slowly advancing forward, with the bright silver wire reflecting the weak sunlight behind them.

This jungle is already full of traps.

After setting up the trap, Lin and Obito lurked in the corner of the woods, hiding their auras and staring at the front of the trees. Several black spots kept passing through from a distance.

"stop!"

A middle-aged man wearing a cloud ninja forehead protector, with a beard on both sides of his face, his only remaining eye looking sideways at the surroundings, his fingers gently stroking the goatee on his chin.

"Something's not right...be careful!"

The goatee leader murmured in a low voice. Behind him, two young ninjas in their 20s and a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old all took out their kunai and looked around cautiously.

The middle-aged Kumo ninja, who was in his 30s, had experienced the Second Ninja War. He was already a Jonin and had a lot of experience. He could already sense that something was wrong with just a few clues.

The lush jungles all over the mountains are like a green ocean, whistling in the breeze.

The forest was blocked by the trees and looked extremely dark. The light that occasionally filtered through from the tops of the trees only gave the jungle a little more brilliance.

The four cloud ninjas stood back to back, scanning the surroundings constantly.

"Xiao Ye, hand me your knife..."

The young man named Ono slowly pulled out a long knife from behind. The blade was straight and sharp, with no gaps around it. It was definitely a good knife.

The goatee jounin held up the long knife and adjusted the angle slightly. The long knife reflected the sunlight, and a beam of light shot straight into the jungle.

The steel wire reflecting the silvery light suddenly stood out like a firefly in the dark night.

"Hidden! There is indeed an ambush..."

Goatee quickly threw the long knife to the young man, and the four of them quietly disappeared into the jungle.

Shots of shurikens began to fly out from all directions like raindrops, heading towards the hidden jungle at high speed, destroying the traps in the jungle.

"Boom!"

The sound of the detonating talisman shook the entire jungle, smoke spread, trees crisscrossed and broke, and dirt and gravel began to shoot out in all directions.

"Have Obito and the others already fought against the enemy..."

Kakashi heard the roar, and his heart sank. The chakra under his feet continued to pour out, trampling down trees.

He no longer hid his figure, and ran even faster towards the explosion.

"Not yet, they hide it well..."

Kato Ou's perception could tell that these people were not fighting each other, and Obito and Lin were still far away from these Kumo ninjas.

"Secret Technique: Soul Fire Insect Technique!"

Quickly forming seals, dots of fluorescence flew to all directions in the jungle in an instant.

Kato Oo, whose mental power has been enhanced again, has been able to simulate this ball of chakra fluorescence into the appearance of a real insect, lurking in the woods.

Before the chakra bursts, they are difficult to distinguish.

"Damn it! They saw through the trap..."

Obito and Lin hid behind the tree stump, and the tree stump in front of them was already filled with shurikens.

"Lin, we have to take cover!"

"Waiting for Kakashi and Kato Oo..."

No matter how angry Obito is, he still knows his own strength. There is no hope at all relying on him and Lin. What's more, it seems that this Kumo ninja is not weak at all.

Kato Ou, who had quietly arrived nearby, sensed the location of the four Kumo ninjas, and the soul fire insects slowly gathered in their direction.

The goatee-bearded Jonin leaned behind a big tree and looked around cautiously.

The big tree behind him was silently filled with Soul Fire Insects. Their gray-brown appearance seemed to be integrated with the entire tree trunk, and they were densely packed, but they did not make the slightest sound.

"It's too quiet..."

The entire quiet jungle filled Goatee's face with solemnity. Unknown things can always make people feel unparalleled terror.

"Captain, watch your back!"

The girl who was hiding suddenly shouted loudly, making Goatee startled.

He didn't detect any enemy aura!

"burst!"

Kato Ou let out a soft drink, and the hidden soul fire bugs exploded instantly, a violent shock wave exploded, and two muffled groans sounded instantly.

Kato O and Kakashi quickly ran out and rushed towards the Kumo ninja.

"Two people at four o'clock, one at seven o'clock, one at twelve o'clock..."

"Thunder Escape·Cell Activation!"

The second before the soul fire bug exploded, Goatee's body flashed with lightning.

After the activation of body cells, the goatee jounin's defense and speed were greatly enhanced, and the shock wave did not cause him any damage.

"Yoko! Use fire escape!"

Seeing more and more oncoming bugs, Goatee gave a light drink and sprayed a stream of flames from his mouth.

"The Aburame clan of Konoha's insect masters?"

The fire in Goatee's mouth continued, but his heart sank slightly.

The Aburame clan of Konoha is also a famous clan in the ninja world. He also knows how difficult it is to deal with parasitic bugs, and the appearance of bugs that can transmit messages and chakra means that their whereabouts have been exposed.

"not good!"

"This is no ordinary bug! It seems that we have encountered a jounin from the Aburame family..."

The flames that seemed to ignite the entire forest did not cause any harm to the oncoming insects.

The goateeed Jonin quickly retreated and gradually escaped from the Soul Fire Insect's perception.

"Kakashi and the others are here!"

Obito, who was hiding in the jungle, also heard the sound of the shock wave explosion. He looked at Lin and disappeared behind the wooden pile.

"Have you been mistaken for a member of the Aburame clan?"

Kato Ou could see the actions of the four Yun Ninjas. The soul fire bug suspended in the sky was like a dynamic camera, constantly transmitting the images of Yun Ninja to Kato Ou.

"Compared to the real Aburame clan, it's still far behind..."

He thought of the boy who had inspired him to develop this ninjutsu. Nano-level phosphorus bugs could silently enter the human body and directly cause the body to collapse from the cellular level. This was their real nightmare, even if they had Lei Dun's cell activation technique.

"Kakashi, Jounin! I leave this Jounin to you..."

"Obito and Lin have already faced off with the other two chunin..."

Kato Oo looked at the smoke that had slowly dissipated and smiled softly.

"Did you pick the one who looks the weakest?"

"It's really not like the root style at all..."

"Maybe. Let me remind you, Captain Kakashi, this Jonin is not easy to deal with..."

Kakashi really knew his identity, and it seemed that Minato was not as silly and sweet as he showed, at least he could understand some of the things beneath the surface.

Without saying anything more to Kakashi, Kato Ou stepped a little closer and disappeared.

"I will keep an eye on you, Kato Oo..."

Kakashi's eyes narrowed slightly, watching Kato Oo disappear, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

"Lin! They are already injured..."

Without the acumen of the Kumo ninja girl and the agility of the Jonin, the two young Kumo ninjas were not so lucky when the soul fire bug exploded.

Although the power of a single soul fire insect is almost nil, a large number of soul fire insects gathered also caused a lot of damage to them.

With their bloody arms and torn backs, the two young Kumo ninjas were already covered in sweat from the pain before they even made a move.

"I'll teach you a lesson... damn you guys!"

Obito rushed forward almost immediately and separated the two Kumo ninjas.

He held the kunai in his right hand and struck out with lightning speed, hitting the elbow of the young Cloud Ninja that he used to block. His left hand formed a fist and hit the Cloud Ninja's neck.

The overwhelming momentum made the already injured Yun Ninja's heart sink.

"Lei Dun, go!"

The Kumo ninja who was forced back by Obito couldn't help but use ninjutsu directly.

In ordinary ninja battles, most of them use taijutsu. Ninjutsu will only be used as a trump card. Ninjutsu that consumes chakra will not be easily used unless necessary.

The Kumo ninja Chuunin endured the pain in his body, quickly formed seals with his hands, and slapped his palm on the ground, causing a large swath of lightning.

Obito jumped slightly, dodging the lightning that was coming, and suddenly appeared behind Kumo Ninja in a flash, his hands forming fists.

As if with all his anger, Obito's eyes were fixed on Kumo ninja's injured back.

"go to hell!"

The whitened fist collided with the bloody back, and blood splashed down on Obito's side.

The cloud ninja's body was blown away far away, and countless branches were shattered.

The Yun Ninja who landed on the ground seemed to freeze for a moment, and then his whole body suddenly arched and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The severe pain made his whole body tremble.

"Oh!"

Before Obito could pursue him, the smoke flashed away, leaving only a piece of broken wood on the ground.

"You can't run away!"

The moment his fist touched the back of Yun Ninja, Obito's lips showed a smile, and he knew that this was the true form of Yun Ninja.

The already injured Yun Nin did not have time to use the Substitute Technique before the injury came!

Obito moved his feet, jumped up high, exerted force with four fingers, and used the Uchiha style throwing technique to drive four shurikens, flying towards the corner of the jungle like a strong wind.

The shurikens in the air collided, blocking all routes of the Kumo ninja hiding behind the tree stumps.

"Shuriken clone technique!"

The four shurikens turned into countless shurikens in an instant, as if missiles were continuously bombarding the corners behind the tree stumps. The entire ground seemed to have been penetrated, and a huge plume of smoke appeared.

"Yuta!"

Kumo Ninja, who was still fighting Lin, also saw this scene.

The death of his companion made his eyes quickly turn red, and his drooped arms were dripping with blood, but at this moment, it seemed that there was no impact at all.

"How dare you! Kill Yuta!"

The Cloud Ninja, whose arm was injured, jerked downwards and suddenly rose into the sky, like a dragon rising into the sky.

With a huge amount of chakra attached to his feet, he kicked hard in the opposite direction. He made two footprints on the thick tree trunk. He used his body as a cannonball and sprinted straight towards Lin. In an instant, his whole body was filled with blood. Thunder light.

"Let's die together! Damn Konoha ninja!"

"Thunderstorm Thunderstorm!"

"Careful! Lin!"

Obito turned his head just in time to see this scene, and his heart suddenly burst into tears. He no longer cared about his own safety, jumped up suddenly, and knocked down Lin with his body.

"Wind Release·Fengqie..."

Obito, whose eyes were already filled with dazzling white light, used his last moment to spit out a wind blade from his mouth towards the big tree next to him, and then he desperately grabbed Lin, using every part of his body to cover her whole body. .

The forest collapsed, the earth shattered, and the entire jungle turned into layers of charcoal, with streaks of green smoke rising from the charred trees.

Bloody rain also fell from the sky, and pieces of burnt meat and blood mixed with black charcoal residue fell on every piece of cracked land.

"Cough cough..."

Obito and Lin's bodies were blocked by a huge tree trunk. The completely charred tree trunk turned into black ash and fell on Obito's face, making it impossible for him to recognize his original face.

"Lin! Are you okay!"

This was the first time that Obito was so close to Lin, and their bodies were close to each other. But at this moment, Obito's heart was full of panic, and his trembling hands slowly reached towards Lin's neck...

"With soil..."

"Thank you……"

Lin opened her eyes, gently held Obito's hand, looked at Obito whose face was covered in black and gray, and smiled.

"Obito, you are my hero!"

The dark-faced Obito seemed to be drunk, his face turned dark red, and he seemed a little dizzy.

"Whoosh..."

A kunai suddenly appeared, breaking this tender moment.

The kunai at an unusually tricky angle was like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to come out and deliver a fatal blow, stabbing Obito in the back of the neck.

"Careful! Obito!"

He used all his strength to turn over and push Obito away. He brushed past Lin's ear with perfect precision, cut off a few strands of her hair, and penetrated deeply into the earth behind her, leaving only a trace in Lin's ear. The next cold wind.

"what!"

Obito was startled, suddenly turned around and blocked Lin with his body, but the scene in front of him stunned him.

Sitting in the black ashes not far away was the Kumo ninja Chuunin who had just fought with Obito.

Now, his whole body was charred, like a mummy. His carbonized skin was completely cracked by the movements just now. Blood slowly flowed from his whole body, forming a dazzling bright red on the black ground.

His eyes were huge, and in the charred body, only a pair of red eyes were left, staring at Obito.

With deep unwillingness and hatred, like sharp ice edges, filled with coldness, they pierced Obito's chest.

Obito felt as if his throat was blocked by the cold air, and he couldn't say anything.

Under the gazes of Obito and Lin, his charred hand gently raised and pressed against the side of his brain.

With the last of his strength, a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth.

"Oh!"

The blackened head exploded like a cannonball, and white brains splashed on Obito's face.

Obito touched his cheek gently, and the breeze blew on his face, but it was a biting chill, and a wave of small goosebumps instantly aroused all over his body.
