Naruto and Shadow

“Although Obito sometimes looks silly, he can also say some reassuring words.”

Nohara Rin walked over with a smile.

Seeing Hino Hikari’s silence, she thought it was the effect of Obito’s words just now.

“really……”

Interrupted by Nohara Rin, Hino Hikaru, who was thinking about whether to kill Obito, quickly calmed down the expression on his face.

And in order not to let his facial expression show any flaws, he suddenly began to pretend that he was talking to himself

“Sure enough what?”

Nohara Lin looked curious.

“Sure enough, Kakashi liked Obito more than……”

Hino Hikaru deliberately looked up at Nohara Rin at this time

“Sorry, just kidding”

“……”

Suddenly being teased like this, Nohara Rin, who was still smiling just now, suddenly froze her expression.

Indeed, if Kakashi really felt that way about himself, he would never group them like this.

Moreover, when Hino Hikaru proposed a group operation, she had expected to be in a group with Kakashi.

But neither Hikaru nor Kakashi said what group they were looking forward to.

Compared with being paired with the more troublesome Obito, it might be slightly better to be paired with Hino Hikaru.

So she didn’t oppose Kakashi in the end.

Of course, it’s not that she hates Obito, it’s just that sometimes Obito’s feelings for her are so passionate that she doesn’t know how to respond, so she finds it troublesome.

“Maybe Kakashi really likes men.”

Self-defeating, or rather filled with the resentment of a little girl, Nohara Lin also slightly criticized Kakashi today.

But she was quickly amused by what she said.

“Come on, Kakashi and the others have been setting off for a while, we can follow them.”

“Um.”

Because of a few jokes, Nohara Rin’s uneasiness about being”abandoned” by the other two companions has been reduced a lot.

At the same time, her impression of Hino Hikaru has also slightly changed. She can cleverly use it at such a time He understood her feelings well and relaxed the atmosphere.

Under the cold appearance, the real Hino-san may also be a gentle person.

——

“Look, there are marks left by Kakashi and Obito over there. It seems that they are not in danger ahead yet.”

Under a big tree, Nohara Lin happily used kunai to carve a response mark under the mark left by Kakashi, indicating that they have not yet encountered danger behind them.

“Um.”

We have been walking in the Country of Grass for two days. According to the previous plan, the four of them infiltrated quite smoothly.

Next, they just need to work steadily and get to the hidden location near Kannabi Bridge as soon as possible. The rendezvous and blasting work can be completed.

But the more smoothly it goes, the more careful you need to be.

This is the experience Hino Hikaru has accumulated over the years.

“Let’s camp here today.”

Slowly jumping down from the trunk of the big tree, Hino Hikaru was not in a hurry to catch up with Kakashi and Obito’s progress after surveying the road ahead.

“Set up camp now? But there’s still some time before it gets dark……”

Nohara Lin was a little confused.

It’s obvious that there is no danger ahead, so why not hurry up?

“This journey has been too smooth, a bit abnormally smooth, and we are almost near the Kannabi Bridge. There is little point in rushing forward. We might as well take advantage of this time to make some traps.”

Hino Hikaru took out the detonating talisman given to them by Minato Namikaze from the backpack behind him.

In this situation where the enemy is overt and we are hidden, a good trap can often play a greater role.

“trap?”

Nohara Lin has seen many traps set by enemies on the road.

“Well, if we encounter an enemy that we cannot defeat, we should find a way to lure him to the place where we have laid the trap. This way, the chance of winning will at least be better.”

“I see.”

Although she really wanted to see the other two companions as soon as possible, Nohara Lin knew that Hino Hikaru’s safe move might be the most correct thing.

But… he obviously had such thorough consideration, why did those who went on the mission with him Will everyone still die?

While helping Hino Hikaru set up traps, Nohara Lin couldn’t help but think this way.

But this kind of question is really not easy to ask.

Although the relationship between the two seemed to have eased before, in fact , apart from necessary conversations in the past two days, she had basically not talked about anything else with him.

——

On the other side, in the forest in front of Kannabi Bridge

“Wait, Obito!”

“Kakashi?”

Obito, who was marking an inconspicuous tree stump, stopped what he was doing with a puzzled look on his face. The previous smooth infiltration obviously made Obito relax a lot of vigilance.

“Get down!”

There was no time to give more signals. After sensing the sudden murderous aura, Kakashi quickly rushed in the direction of Obito, helping him avoid a horizontal slash from the enemy.

“oh? He’s such a sharp kid, he was able to avoid Dashi’s surprise attack.”

At some point, a ninja from Iwagakure Village stood on the trunk of the big tree behind Kakashi and Obito, looking down at them.

“Damn it, was my murderous intent just now too obvious?”

The speaker appeared from the transparency with an annoyed look on his face.

This is another ninja from Iwagakure Village.

Obviously, the sneak attack just now was made by him.

“Two enemies?”

There was no time to thank Kakashi. Obito, who was surrounded one after another, quickly got up from the ground, and then stood behind Kakashi with a kunai in hand and a nervous look on his face.

“Be careful, they are probably all jounin.”

Kakashi didn’t expect that they would be attacked at such close range.

“The invisible ninja is also a master of lurking.”

Speaking of being invisible, Kakashi quickly thought of Hino Hikaru.

After witnessing the battle where Hino Hikaru was being evaluated by everyone, Kakashi has been thinking about what he would do if he encountered an enemy like Hino Hikaru. Fight.

But what he didn’t expect was that this day would come so quickly.

“Jonin?”

Hearing this, Obito’s already nervous face became even more nervous.

Only then did he notice the two Iwagakure ninjas blocking his and Kakashi’s positions. The chakra and the murderous intent revealed gave him a very dangerous feeling.

It was no worse than the scout ninja they met before.

The enemy was actually two Jonin!?

And he and Kakashi were… okay , Kakashi seems to be a jounin, but for a jounin like Kakashi, who is”pushing seedlings to encourage growth”, no matter how much he thinks at this time, he can’t feel at ease.

“I thought the mice lurking in were some kind of big fish, but it turned out to be just two little ghosts.”

That’s right, those surrounding Kakashi and Obito are two jounin from Iwagakure Village, Oishi who knows the secret art of camouflage and Hidden Blade Huoguo. To be precise, there are three, but the first one The jounin who could create a shadow clone had already been killed by Namikaze Minato.

“Judging from the marks they deliberately left on the trees, there should be other companions behind them, and the leeches might have been killed by them. It’s better not to take it too lightly, Dashi.”

Huoguang glanced at the Konoha ninja below, and had no intention of taking action for the time being.

But he noticed the carving marks on the tree stump.

“That’s a lie. Even though that devil leech guy isn’t very good, there’s no way he can be killed by such a brat, right?”

Dashi had a look of disbelief.

Although he didn’t succeed in the sneak attack just now, looking at the reactions of the two brats afterwards, he really didn’t think they were that strong.

“Anyway, I’ll leave this to you while I catch their companions. If one or two of these lurking rats escape, then we won’t have the shame to return to the village.”

“Got it, I’ll come back to you after I finish taking care of them.”

While speaking, the two jonins of Iwagakure Village had already assigned tasks.

And the ninja named Oishi once again used the ninjutsu that allowed him to become invisible in the forest – Ninjutsu

: Camouflage Hidden.

Just for a moment, It was as if his body had merged with the forest, and he could no longer be seen.

“Don’t worry, I will solve it faster than you.”

Huoguang waved the hidden sword on the back of his hand, and then quickly turned into a black shadow and left the place.

“We can’t let him go, Kakashi!”

Although he was nervous and scared, when he thought that Lin was still behind, Obito’s heart burst out with unimaginable courage.

However, this kind of courage, whether in the eyes of his enemy Kakashi or the enemy. a passionate act of stupidity

“Don’t move, Obito!”

After seeing Obito holding a kunai and rushing towards the direction where the Iwagakure ninja left just now, Kakashi secretly said something bad.

The enemy has locked onto their ki machine, and they can also use �� to become invisible. The secret technique.

In this situation where the whole body is affected by one move, any movement of the body is fatal.

“Obito, behind!”

After noticing the wind pressure of the enemy’s attack and the sound of the enemy stepping on the ground, Kakashi finally found the invisible ninja again.

But at the same time, he also discovered that Obito, who had acted recklessly just now, was about to be killed by the enemy. The crisis of decapitation. The situation was critical. Kakashi, who had no time to fight the enemy, could only choose to push Obito away again.

But at this moment, the enemy ninja who launched the surprise attack suddenly changed the target of the attack.

Only the remaining Kakashi reacted instinctively and could only watch the opponent’s kunai scratch his eyes and the forehead protector on his head.

“Kakashi! ?”

It wasn’t until Kakashi fell to the ground with blood splattered on his face that Obito finally woke up from the rush of blood.

He quickly ran back to Kakashi’s side.

But at this time, Kakashi was already……

“Eye……”

Although he didn’t moan, Kakashi suppressed the pained moans that still reached Obito’s ears.

Kakashi’s left eye could no longer be opened.

Moreover, the pain also caused him to temporarily lose his fighting ability.

“The kid is indeed a kid, and his secrets will be exposed if he tests him casually.”

I don’t know when, the ninja Huo Guang of Iwagakure Village who had left before quietly appeared nearby again.

“It seems that you really have a supporting partner behind you.”

“How despicable!”

Obito then realized that his recklessness not only allowed the enemy to confirm their intelligence, but also caused Kakashi’s injury.

Damn it! It’s all his fault for not being calm!

Obito, who realized this, now regrets it extremely

“A ninja refers to a person who can endure until the end. I can only say that as a real ninja, you two brats are still too young.”

Standing on the tree trunk, Huoguang glanced at the white-haired kid who had basically lost his fighting power, and then looked at the kid with goggles who didn’t look like a ninja at all. He couldn’t help but feel a little contempt in his heart.

So he did not choose to kill him with his companion Dashi. These two Konoha brats are more determined to find other Konoha ninjas who have sneaked in.

“Enjoy them, Dashi”

“Hey hey hey, you don’t need to tell me that I will deal with them well. You should hurry up and chase the companions of these two brats. You are no longer needed here, Huo Guang.”

Dashi, who also felt that there was no pressure anymore, also signaled to his companions that they could leave first.

——

“Aren’t you going to light a fire tonight too?”

Nohara Rin, who had prepared the trap and laid out her sleeping bag for the night, sat on a raised rock and asked Hino Hikaru again.

“Well, there is still dry food and water left, and the moonlight should be bright enough tonight.”

Hino Hikaru still doesn’t plan to light a fire as usual.

This can greatly reduce the probability of being attacked at night.

“A little too steady……”

Although dry food and water were indeed enough,

Nohara Lin, who had not cleaned her body for several days in a row, could no longer bear it.

It would be nice if I could wash it and then put it on the fire.

The dew has been quite heavy these past few days, and there hasn’t been much sun in the sky, so the girl’s body has always been a little wet.

Nohara Rin dislikes this feeling very much

“Can’t you light a fire to dry your clothes and then put out the fire?”

“When the Namikaze Jonin joins us, you can make any fire you want, but not now.”

As if seeing the suffering on the girl’s face, Hino Hikaru comforted her.

“All right.”

Seeing that Hino Hikaru was still so strict, Nohara Lin had no choice but to agree without saying anything more.

However, she was now more and more curious about why Hino Hikaru died so many mission companions.

He was obviously so careful along the way.……

“Go to bed early. I’ll be here to watch the night tonight.”

“oh.”

But Nohara Rin, who has not lacked sleep these days, is not sleepy at all at this time.

“Na……”

After two days and two nights of boring traveling, the girl finally started chatting with the boy again.

“What’s up?”

Hino Hikaru, who was sitting on the grass with his eyes closed and concentrating, opened his eyes again.

“It seems like, do you respect Minato-sensei too?”

“Hmm… It’s more of a recognition of his strength.”

To say respect is a bit inaccurate.

Maybe it’s because traveling for two consecutive days is really boring, and Hino Hikaru is no longer as”a piece of wood” as before.”

“Then you should join our water gate class, right?”

Hikaru Hino’s response made Nohara Rin smile.

Finally, I could chat with this person for a while.

“Not sure yet”

“Why?”

Nohara Rin can’t think of any reason for Hino Hikaru’s refusal.

“because……”

The mission isn’t even over yet. Hino Hikaru has already experienced a lot of the consequences of popping champagne at halftime.

Maybe this time it will also end with the team being destroyed…

Because many places have begun to deviate from the original work that he is familiar with, Hino Hikaru is no longer arrogant to think that everything will develop as he wants.

Also, even though he was born with a relatively high level of perception in his life, facing a creature like Black Zetsu that can almost completely hide the perception of others, he would not be able to detect it no matter how powerful he was.

Therefore, he could not confirm whether Madara Uchiha or Black Zetsu were targeting him during this mission.

“coming!”

Feeling a slight breeze blowing by, Hino Hikaru, who had always been on alert, quickly noticed the person coming.

“What……”

Hearing Hino Hikaru’s sudden shout and the gesture of encountering an enemy, Nohara Rin, who was surprised a second ago, quickly reacted.

The two quickly found cover and each hid behind a big tree.
