Accompanied by the blue light and strong wind generated by high-speed movement, Shintaro suddenly appeared behind Kakashi.
Kakashi turned his head in surprise upon hearing this.
"Shintaro! You finally made it!"
Kakashi had been waiting for him to come to the rescue after launching the flare.
As long as Shintaro arrived, it was the same as saving himself and Rin.
Rin stopped when she heard the movement behind her and informed Shintaro about the plan she had overheard from Kirigakure Village.
"Is it really a Bijuu weapon? It seems my guess was right."
The corner of Shintaro's mouth curved up as he said, "It looks like Kirigakure is handing us a Bijuu this time."
At this moment, the three were surrounded by the pursuing Kirigakure ANBU.
The leading ANBU suddenly recognized Shintaro's identity and was instantly shocked.
"That's Uchiha Shintaro! The White-Haired Demon's Eye!"
Shintaro was now quite famous in Kirigakure Village.
If it weren't for him, the current war situation for Kirigakure wouldn't be so passive.
When the entire fortress and headquarters on the Eastern Front battlefield were destroyed, Shintaro received great acclaim.
For Kirigakure, the white-haired Demon's eye in front of them was even more challenging to deal with than the Yellow Flash.
"Damn it! Isn't he on the southern front?"
The expression behind the mask of the leading Kirigakure ANBU changed drastically.
According to intelligence, Konoha's defense on the eastern battlefield was very weak, with a severe lack of regular troops, let alone top combat forces like Shintaro.
Moreover, a general attack was being launched on the southern front, personally commanded by the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura. Logically, Shintaro should be held back on the southern front.
The Kirigakure ANBU and the others never expected Shintaro to appear here.
If it was just ordinary reinforcements from Konoha who came to support, they wouldn't be afraid of the elite forces of Kirigakure ANBU.
But it was different if it was Shintaro.
There was even a rule in Kirigakure that if you encountered Uchiha Shintaro during a mission, you were allowed to retreat, and no fault would be investigated afterward.
However, this rule did not apply to this mission.
This mission involved releasing the Sanbi as a Bijuu weapon. If the Sanbi was handed over to Konoha like this, the leading ANBU responsible for the mission would definitely not have a good outcome.
At this moment, several Kirigakure ANBU couldn't resist taking action first, attacking them with their swords.
Shintaro tilted his head and noticed these ANBU, waving his hand, and a blue orb appeared in the air and flew in an arc.
"[Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue]."
The blue orb contained strong suction power, pulling all the Kirigakure ANBU who had jumped into the air and colliding them together.
With a loud crash, the masks of several ANBU shattered, revealing their bruised and swollen faces.
Shintaro raised his hand to enhance the effect, and then several Kirigakure ANBU were forcibly crushed into lifeless flesh and blood.
Such a strong and bloody attack shocked the Kirigakure ANBU.
Only then did the Kirigakure ANBU deeply understand the terrifying power of the so-called white-haired Demon's eye.
The expression behind the leading Kirigakure ANBU's mask darkened, and he had already made a decision in his heart.
He formed a seal with one hand.
He planned to remotely lift the seal on Nohara Rin and release the Sanbi to deal with Shintaro.
The temporary seal was far from stable, and there was a remote method to lift it according to the plan.
Shintaro immediately reacted and positioned his two fingers like a gun to aim at the Kirigakure ANBU.
The ANBU didn't think twice and immediately released chakra with his feet to absorb the ground.
"It's just suction..."
The ANBU assumed that Shintaro was still using [Blue], so after taking countermeasures, they didn't even hide and concentrated on lifting the seal.
"[Cursed Technique Reversal: Red]."
However, Shintaro's fingertips condensed a red light, very different from before.
A red orb shot out, forming a blazing light pillar like a flame.
*SWISH*
The speed of the red orb broke the sound barrier and directly hit the upper body of the Kirigakure ANBU.
The ANBU only felt the red light approaching his face, and before he heard the sound, he instantly lost consciousness.
The red light vanished, and the upper body of the ANBU disappeared, leaving only the lower half standing there. The ANBU had attached himself to the ground to counter the suction force but couldn't withstand the strong repulsion force.
That's why he died like this.
However, the sealing technique that this ANBU performed at the cost of his life still had an effect.
Rin's body instantly burst with powerful Bijuu chakra, and the strong chakra almost formed a physical pressure, impacting the surroundings.
Kakashi who was closest to Rin, bore the brunt of it.
Seeing Rin suddenly fall to the ground in pain, Kakashi rushed forward in concern but was thrown back by a sudden and strong shockwave.
Such an impact was not something he could respond to now.
Kakashi's body flew backward in the air like a kite with a broken string.
Fortunately, Shintaro immediately stepped forward to catch Kakashi.
He held Kakashi with one hand and landed on the ground, using the other hand to press down on the rampaging Rin.
Fortunately, he stopped the seal as it was being lifted.
He wasn't skilled in Fuinjutsu, so he used his strong power to suppress the Sanbi's chakra.
Only when the seal was firmly in place did Shintaro release it. However, Rin also fainted due to the leakage of the Bijuu's power.
Shintaro placed the severely injured Kakashi and the unconscious Rin on either side of a large tree to rest.
Then he turned and pursued the fleeing Kirigakure ANBU in all directions.
After Shintaro left, a figure arrived late; it was Obito.
The first scene Obito saw upon arriving was Rin unconscious leaning against a large tree, and Kakashi, also severely injured, leaning against the tree.
Obito's concern immediately made him rush toward the two.
But suddenly, he felt his hands and feet uncontrollable.
The petal collar on Tobi's neck also closed, forming a white, spiral, single-eyed mask on Obito's head.
"Tobi, what are you doing?!"
Obito spoke angrily, not knowing the reason.
But Tobi explained innocently, "I'm out of control too!"
A mysterious darkness slowly crawled over Obito and Tobi's bodies, using a mysterious force to directly control their actions.
Soon, the two were covered in the same darkness, becoming black on a physical level. This was the power of the wood element in the half of Obito's body that had been transplanted.
When Obito saw this, he immediately felt bad and tried to resist with a hoarse voice, but his body acted on its own.
He rushed towards Rin lying on the ground with wooden spikes in his hands, then inserted the spikes into the body of his loved one with a light touch.
The wooden spikes grew randomly in Rin's body, instantly piercing her small frame from all directions.
Rin's eyes opened in pain, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, but she could only helplessly watch as the dark-masked man in front of her killed her.
"Who are you..."
Rin asked the last question, and then her life gradually faded away, and she could no longer speak.
Kakashi noticed the movement behind him and turned around with difficulty only to see Rin, whom he had sworn to protect, killed by the dark-masked man.
A strong sense of helplessness and hatred immediately filled Kakashi's mind, and then the severe pain from his Sharingan, along with the severe mental anguish, caused him to faint from the pain.
"AHHHH!!!"
Hidden behind the mask, Obito witnessed all this in despair and let out a heart-wrenching roar.
