Kakashi, Obito, and Rin were now in a fierce battle.
Currently, all three of them were somewhat injured. Among them, Kakashi was the most severely injured.
Kakashi had deep knife wounds on his left arm and back, and blood was oozing out.
Kakashi gasped heavily and told Obito and Rin, "You two retreat immediately!"
"Kakashi!"
Obito and Rin shouted Kakashi's name in unison. Clearly, neither of them was willing to abandon Kakashi and run away.
Kakashi said solemnly, "If we keep going like this, we'll all die here. You two go in different directions. Just make sure one of you can escape!"
Without giving Obito and Rin any more time to hesitate, Kakashi directly threw two Smoke Bombs at them.
The smoke enveloped Obito and Rin.
Among the three Cloud Ninjas, one rushed towards Kakashi, while the other two tried to rush into the smoke to stop Obito and Rin from leaving.
Kakashi threw a Kunai at the two Cloud Ninjas rushing into the smoke, then raised the short blade in his hand, intending to fight back against the Cloud Ninja rushing towards him.
Suddenly, the three Cloud Ninjas retreated.
Several Kunai were stuck in the ground. If they hadn't retreated in time, these Kunai would have hit them.
Kakashi and the three Cloud Ninjas simultaneously looked into the smoke.
Because these Kunai were shot out from the smoke.
Kakashi frowned tightly.
Could it be that Obito and Rin hadn't left?
This is just crazy!
He had intended to sacrifice his own life to give them a chance to escape.
After the smoke dispersed, two figures, one large and one small, appeared.
It was impossible to tell what the faces of these two figures looked like.
Because these two people had cloth tied around their faces. Only the smaller one had two holes cut out for the eyes, while the larger one simply had a whole piece of black cloth covering the face.
The identities of these two people were self - evident.
It was Kamishiro and his Puppet, Kanna.
This was the method Kamishiro had come up with. As long as no one could see his face, no one should recognize him.
"Kamishiro!"
Obito exclaimed in surprise.
Kamishiro felt a chill run down his spine and looked at Obito in disbelief. "No way, you recognized me like this?!"
Obito asked curiously, "It's easy to recognize. Apart from your face, nothing else has changed. By the way, why did you cover your face?"
Kamishiro rolled his eyes at Obito helplessly. "Obito, you're making things difficult for me."
Kamishiro never thought his flawless disguise would be so easily recognized by Obito.
When Kakashi saw Kamishiro return, he immediately let out a sigh of relief. If Kamishiro joined the battle, they would be safe.
But Kamishiro was torn. Should he reveal his strength in front of Kakashi and the other two?
It didn't seem like a good idea. If Kakashi and the others reported his strength, he might have to undertake The Battle missions in the future.
Kakashi saw the conflicted look on Kamishiro's face and guessed that he was thinking about whether to reveal his strength.
It would have been better if Obito had pretended not to recognize Kamishiro just now.
Kakashi shouted to Kamishiro, "Kamishiro, we can't see anything now!"
Obito looked at Kakashi in confusion. "I can see. Rin, you can see too, right?"
Rin Nohara understood what Kakashi meant and chimed in, "Yeah, I can't see a thing either. Obito, you can't see anything now, either!"
Obito was a bit slow on the uptake. What the heck was going on?
Seeing Kakashi and Rin Nohara looking at him intently, Obito could only say, "I... I can't see anything either."
Hearing what Kakashi and the others said, Kamishiro couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Judging from what Kakashi said... it seemed he wanted to help Kamishiro keep his strength a secret?
Otherwise, why would Kakashi say, "We can't see anything." Obviously, these were words to help him keep it hidden.
But he hadn't even made a move yet. Kakashi and the others didn't know his strength yet. Then why did he say that?
Could it be... that Kakashi had sensed his aura as a powerful person?
It must be!
As the saying goes, great warriors respect each other.
Because he was very powerful, Kakashi had sensed it.
Kamishiro nodded in satisfaction. "Kakashi, you're so smart. It's best that you can't see. Otherwise, I'd run away."
Kakashi let out a soft sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he'd had the presence of mind. Otherwise, if Kamishiro had run away again, the three of them would really be in big trouble.
However, Kakashi hadn't expected that the timid Kamishiro would come back.
Just as Kamishiro was about to boast a bit more, three Cloud Ninjas rushed over.
Two of the Cloud Ninjas aimed at Kanna, while one targeted Kamishiro.
Since Kanna looked so lifelike, the Cloud Ninjas didn't bother to use their sensory abilities and thought it was a real person.
Since Kanna was the size of an adult, they assumed Kanna was the one to be dealt with first.
Kanna Needle Rain!
A hole opened in Kanna's chest, and a large number of fast - flying, dense Senbon needles were shot out.
The two Cloud Ninjas charging towards Kanna were shocked when they saw the hole open in Kanna's chest. When they saw a large number of Senbon needles shooting out, they immediately dodged.
However, it was so sudden that one of the Cloud Ninjas was a bit slow to dodge and was pierced by several Senbon needles.
Naturally, Kamishiro's Senbon needles were poisoned.
The poison took effect quickly. Soon, the Cloud Ninjas stabbed by the Senbon began to gradually become numb.
However, the poison wasn't very potent and wasn't fatal. It would wear off after a while, so it could only paralyze the target for a short time.
There was no other way. Kamishiro didn't study poisons much. These poisons were obtained by Kamishiro through Pakura.
Because Kamishiro stayed at home alone all day and didn't go out, Pakura was worried that if Kamishiro accidentally ate poisoned food or got scratched and poisoned, no one would notice him. So, she didn't dare to give Kamishiro any powerful poisons.
The Cloud Ninjas charging towards Kamishiro was Rumota, and he was already within arm's reach, assuming a stance for a Zangei.
Kamishiro suddenly tugged with his right hand.
Kanna quickly returned to Kamishiro's front.
Under Kamishiro's control, a ninja sword popped out from Kanna's right hand to block Rumota's Zangei.
"Kanna - Blade Vortex!"
Blades popped out from all of Kanna's joints.
Kamishiro's fingers moved nimbly. Under his manipulation, Kanna kept spinning her body, taking on poses that were difficult or even impossible for humans. The blades on her joints resembled a swirling cyclone and lunged towards Rumota.
At the beginning, Rumota attempted to resist.
However, Kanna's fierce offensive and the various strange - angled attacks made Rumota realize after a brief attempt that he couldn't withstand them and he chose to retreat.
Seeing that Kamishiro didn't have much pressure in the fight against the Cloud Ninjas, Rin Nohara immediately ran to the side of Kakashi, who was the most seriously injured, and began to give him emergency treatment.
As for Obito... he just watched. Mainly, he couldn't really help out.
