Chapter 9 What would you choose? At this point in time, the Third Ninja World War had just broken out. The fuse was that the Sand Village lost their Third Kazekage, and then they blamed Konoha and launched a war! This round of Ninja World War came extremely suddenly. Compared with the past, the interval and recuperation time before the war was extremely short! There was only a gap of more than three years but less than four years between the Second Ninja World War and the Third Ninja World War. The five major ninja villages were all confused; they did not expect the war to come back so soon. Among them, Konoha is the best! Their previous forecasts for peace were too optimistic, so they were caught off guard when a new round of Ninja World War broke out. Now that they were forced into battle, many missions were rushed. For example, the mission that Kakashi, Obito and Rin have received at this moment is to sneak into the Rain Country and confirm the attitude of the Rain Village towards this war! Konoha's previous misjudgment of the war situation was reflected in all aspects. For example, they did not stop Tsunade from leaving after the war three years ago; for example, no one was alert when White Fang committed suicide two years ago.
For example, during the more than three years of brief peace, their control over the surrounding small countries has weakened to an extremely dangerous level. This directly led to Konoha, which was able to keep the enemy out of the country throughout the Second Ninja World War, being easily invaded into the territory of the Land of Fire at the beginning of this war. And now, the missions that Obito, Rin, Kakashi and others have received are essentially paying off debts. To pay off the debt they have incurred from living too comfortably over the past few years. Kakashi realized the difficulty of the mission on the first day he received it. “All the sentry posts marked on the map in the past have been demolished. The Rain Country has changed a lot in the past few years. Why does the village know so little about this? We already fought here in the last war." In the last Ninja World War, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade fought against Hanzo of the Salamander in the Land of Rain and maintained a balance of power, which earned them the title of "Three Ninjas" that resounded throughout the Ninja World. Although the three ninjas combined failed to defeat Hanzo at that time, at least Konoha was in the strategic initiative throughout the whole process. This is also the eternal pain of the Rain Country. But who could have thought that in just a few years, the changes here had completely gone beyond Konoha's control. "The outdated map has almost lost its reference value, the village layout has completely changed, and the new organization called 'Akatsuki' that I heard about before... We are missing too much intelligence here, we must speed up the mission!" Kakashi couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of this. Because he wanted to speed up the mission, but his teammates were still angry with him. Even if he didn't get down from the branch, he could still hear Obito complaining under the tree. "Kakashi, that guy, puts on a deadpan expression when he's on a mission, saying that the mission is more important than his companions and that anyone who fails to complete the mission is a waste. Lin, do you think he's being sensible?!" Nohara Rin, who was following Obito, was also helpless. She could only force a smile and comfort him, "Obito, please stop talking. You know what Kakashi went through two years ago. He just couldn't get over it for a while." "But I still can't forgive his thoughts! How can he say that about his companions? In my opinion, people who abandon their companions are worse than trash!" Obito said this with great vigor, both to fight back against Kakashi and to show off in front of Nohara Rin.
It’s a pity that some people are destined to not be handsome for more than a second. The next moment, as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed a sudden strong wind pressure coming from his side, as if something flew past at a very fast speed! When he came to his senses, Obito only heard a deep voice. "well said." Then he turned around and was shocked to find that Nohara Lin was gone! He subconsciously took out a kunai from the ninja tool bag at his waist, but then he felt a sharp pain in his stomach! After successfully launching a sneak attack, Shiba Qinghe kicked him hard and sent him flying! At that moment, Shiba Qinghe couldn't help but wonder, is this considered as revenge for the future sister Xiaonan? It turns out that you should bully the big boss as early as possible. "Your companions are in my hands now." Uchiha Obito was extremely angry when he heard what Shiba Kiyokawa said. It was a pity that at this point in time Obito was still just a weakling. "Damn it, give Lin back to me!!" The only thing worth praising is probably his strong cockroach-like will and his obsession with Lin. It’s a pity that this time, Shiba Qinghe had planned his attack for a long time and didn’t give him any chance at all. The moment he took the hostage, he handed Lin over to Sister Xiaonan. "Sister Xiaonan, control this girl!" Sister Konan also followed Shiba Kiyokawa's instructions and immediately used her paper ninjutsu, using the overlapping and curled white paper to form a chain to firmly control the captured Nohara Rin. Ever since completing the mission in Ando not long ago, Xiaonan has unconsciously developed a serious dependence on Shiba Kiyokawa. Perhaps it was because Shiba Kiyokawa's theory sounded so profound and powerful that it deeply shocked Xiaonan's mind, or perhaps it was because Shiba Kiyokawa had already deeply imprinted his reliable personality in Xiaonan's heart over the past few days. In short, Konan has now become more and more accustomed to following Shiba Kiyokawa's instructions. Just like this time on the way back they accidentally discovered a "strange" Konoha team, Shiba Kiyokawa proposed to take action, and Konan agreed decisively without asking any questions. During the battle, you must obey orders throughout and do whatever you are told. This is a treatment that even Yahiko has never enjoyed in the past! Shiba Kiyokawa's plan to break up the Akatsuki organization's iron triangle now seems to have begun to bear fruit. Returning to the current battle, after safely handing the hostage Lin over to Sister Xiaonan's control, Shiba Qinghe immediately raised his head and met the lightning that was rapidly striking from the high branches of the trees! Kakashi, who was rushing over, was extremely anxious and regretful at this moment. He shouldn't have stayed in the tree alone just because he disliked Obito's noise! This put Lin in danger! Anger and regret licked his heart. But the enemy seemed to know him well and took advantage of his anxiety. Shiba Kiyokawa throws a homemade paper kunai containing an explosive talisman. He knew very well that Kakashi, who had not yet obtained the Sharingan, would not be able to accurately control his Chidori. Coupled with the negative buffs brought by anger and impatience, Kakashi really ran head-on into the oncoming paper kunai. "boom!" A loud bang! Kakashi, who was originally holding the arc light and controlling the lightning, was blown into dust and jumped back in embarrassment, leaping out of the smoke and dust.
"Damn it!" He cursed under his breath. Always praised as a genius, this might be the first time that he encountered such a big setback in the first battle. But, even greater torture is coming! Seeing that Kakashi's first wave of attacks had been repelled, Shiba Kiyokawa's mouth curled up and his smile gradually became joyful. He said, "I just heard a little bit of your conversation. If the mission is really the priority, shouldn't you decisively abandon your companions and retreat first to preserve the intelligence you have obtained to the greatest extent possible?" As soon as these heart-touching words were spoken, just as Shiba Kiyokawa had expected, Obito, who had just climbed up, immediately exploded. "What?! Kakashi, if you plan to give up on Lin, we will break up! I will never forgive you in my life!!" At that moment, Kakashi's pupils contracted violently, while Shiba Kiyokawa smiled even more happily. What would you choose, Kakashi? (End of this chapter)
