Kamishiro and his three companions, who had intended to take a detour, suddenly came under attack from magma fireballs.
The magma fireballs crashed to the ground, exploding continuously and splashing magma everywhere. There was no place where they could completely avoid the splashing magma.
Protected by the spinning Magnet Release: Iron Sand Gyro created by Kamishiro, the splashing magma either bounced off the spinning iron sand or was drawn into it, shielding the four of them inside.
Kamishiro conjured his Third Eye and floated into the air to survey the surroundings. After confirming that there were no more magma fireballs in the sky, he dispelled the Magnet Release: Iron Sand Gyro.
Obito Uchiha looked at the surrounding magma, puzzled. "What on earth is going on up ahead? Why are there so many magma fireballs?"
Kamishiro stared seriously at the magma that billowed thick smoke when in contact with the rain. "Regardless of what's happening, we definitely can't go forward. Let's get out of here quickly."
Kakashi's expression was equally grim. He agreed with Kamishiro's suggestion. Given the power of those magma fireballs, the battle up ahead was definitely not something they could approach.
"Earth Release: Earth Spear Pillars!"
Suddenly, the ground beneath Kamishiro and his companions trembled. The four of them jumped into the air at the same time, and a large number of sharp rocks emerged from the ground.
Kamishiro and his group looked forward and saw two Iwagakure ninjas pressing their hands against the ground.
It was obvious that those two had just used the Earth Release Ninjutsu.
Kamishiro frowned. Judging from the appearance of the two Iwagakure ninjas in front, they were dressed the same as the Iwagakure elite ninja Hakuto Ki. That meant they were also Iwagakure elite ninjas.
These two Iwagakure elite ninjas, unable to join the battle between Rōshi and Han against Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya, had been on the alert for potential threats.
While on alert, they sensed four individuals approaching. So, they rushed over to see who it was. If they were ninjas from Konoha, they would eliminate them.
After realizing that Kamishiro and his companions were ninjas from Konoha, the two Iwagakure elite ninjas immediately launched an attack. However, they didn't expect the opponents to react so quickly and jump out of the path of the rock spikes.
But it seemed that among them, there was only one Chunin, two Genin, and another ninja of an unknown rank. Judging from his age, he was probably at most a Chunin.
The two Iwagakure elite ninjas had been constantly using Earth Release Ninjutsu to harass Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya, which had consumed a large amount of their chakra and stamina. Nevertheless, they were confident that dealing with a few Chunin and Genin would be a piece of cake.
Kakashi frowned, thinking the two Iwagakure elite ninjas were a nuisance. "Is the battle up ahead over? This is a real headache."
Kakashi thought those magma fireballs were launched by these two Iwagakure ninjas. After all, they were all dirty, indicating that they had just been in a fight.
"Rin, hide. Then, Kamishiro, Obito, use that move right away!"
Rin Nohara immediately withdrew. Meanwhile, Kamishiro began to form Hand seals.
"Magnet Release: Magnetization Technique!"
Kamishiro magnetized his own body and then placed his hands on the shoulders of Kakashi and Obito Uchiha, magnetizing their bodies too.
Obito Uchiha quickly formed Hand seals and then placed his right hand in front of his mouth.
"Fire Release! Karyū no Jutsu!"
Obito Uchiha spat out a huge Karyū that attacked two Iwagakure ninjas in the distance.
While the Karyū was attacking the Iwagakure ninjas, Kamishiro half - squatted and grabbed Kakashi's arms. Kakashi had his back to him and was stepping on his legs.
If you looked closely, it seemed as if Kakashi was stepping on Kamishiro's legs, but there was a gap between Kakashi's feet and Kamishiro's legs.
This was due to the magnetism of Kamishiro's and Kakashi's bodies.
Like poles of magnets repel each other, and opposite poles attract.
Kamishiro used Magnet Release: Magnetization Technique. The magnetism on Kakashi's body was positive, and so was that on Kamishiro's body, so they repelled each other.
Kamishiro grabbed Kakashi's arms, getting Kakashi as close to himself as possible. He wanted to use this Repulsive Force to launch Kakashi and increase his Speed.
Kamishiro got this inspiration when he was tinkering with the power system of Kanna.
He had also tested this method in battle, and the effect was quite good.
However, the drawback was quite obvious. It could only be in a straight line, so someone needed to provide cover to stop the enemy from dodging. Naturally, this covering task fell to Obito Uchiha.
The Iwagakure ninjas who dodged to the left did it by rolling, while the one who dodged to the right did it by jumping.
Then the target could be determined, which was the Iwagakure ninja who dodged by jumping.
As is well - known, one cannot dodge in the air when there is no place to gain leverage.
Kamishiro gritted his teeth and squeezed out a voice through his teeth, "How about it? Can I let go?"
"Pull tighter!"
"Can you see clearly at such a high Speed?"
Kakashi, assuming that the previous magma fireball was released by these two Iwagakure ninjas, said very cautiously, "These two Iwagakure ninjas are very strong. We've got to find a way to kill one of them first!"
Kamishiro could only pull Kakashi's arms harder, bringing Kakashi closer and making the Repulsive Force stronger.
Kamishiro exerted so much force that the veins on his neck bulged. "Is it okay now?"
"Let go!"
The moment Kakashi said "let go", Kamishiro released his hands.
Kakashi was directly launched into the air. His Speed was so high that he was invisible to the naked eye. He rushed towards the Iwagakure ninja who was jumping in the air.
Because of the high Speed, Kakashi's vision was a bit blurry. However, Kakashi had aimed at the position from the start. He held the Blade horizontally in his hand and rushed straight at the Iwagakure ninja.
An Iwagakure ninja noticed Kakashi dashing towards him, but it was already too late when he did.
Kakashi passed by the Iwagakure ninja. The Blade in his hand penetrated the Iwagakure ninja's neck as easily as cutting through Tofu, and the ninja's head was instantly separated from his body.
But Kakashi was moving too fast to stop. After landing on the ground, he rolled for quite a distance until he hit a rock and finally came to a halt.
Kakashi grimaced in pain from the fall, but he was extremely excited as he had taken down an Iwagakure ninja with a single strike.
Another Iwagakure ninja was stunned to see his comrade killed so easily with one blow.
Is this the Speed a Chunin is supposed to have? You're joking, right? Is he actually an elite ninja masquerading as a Chunin?
While the Chunin was in a daze, Obito Uchiha quickly formed Hand seals and unleashed a ninjutsu.
"Fire Release! Dragon Fire jutsu!"
Obito unleashed a straight - line flame that shot towards the dazed Iwagakure ninja at an extremely high Speed.
The Iwagakure ninja snapped out of it and immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge.
"Kamishiro! Give me a boost!"
Obito kicked Kamishiro with both feet.
Kamishiro's face darkened: "What are you getting in on this for?!"
Kamishiro had no choice. Since Obito had already kicked at him, he could only cross his arms in front of his body.
Obito feigned a step on Kamishiro's arms. With the Repulsive Force from Kamishiro's body, he was directly sent flying towards the Iwagakure ninja to engage in combat.
