In a cave somewhere in the Land of Grass, three Stone Village Jonin surrounded a comatose little girl, talking in hushed tones.
"Da Shi, are you sure this little girl can draw out Leaf ninjas?"
Hokaku stared intently at Da Shi, feeling that Da Shi was different today, as if he had become much smarter!
"Don't worry, Hokaku. I spared no expense to get this intel. The other party is a special squad sent by the Leaf to destroy Kannabi Bridge. If we can kill them or capture them alive, it will be a great accomplishment!"
Da Shi chuckled, his expression somewhat sly.
Magyū, standing nearby, suddenly spoke, sounding a bit puzzled, "Da Shi, why do you feel different today? You seem to be talking more than usual!"
"Ah? Really?! Maybe I'm just excited, after all, this might be a big catch!"
Da Shi scratched his head, feigning a simple-minded appearance.
"Haha, that's true!" The other two had no more doubts. They had observed Da Shi carefully and he didn't seem like someone in disguise. They were Jonin, and anyone who could disguise themselves before them would have to be stronger than them. There was no need for him to waste words with them.
"Uh... I'm going to the restroom," Da Shi said, scratching his head.
"Hurry up! Not here, find a secluded spot outside! And lead our big catch over!"
"Okay, okay!" Da Shi grunted in agreement.
Once Da Shi reached a secluded corner, the "Da Shi" persona gradually peeled away, revealing the appearance of White Zetsu. He chuckled,
"Mission accomplished. This was too easy, those idiots!"
His figure gradually merged into the ground.
...
Not far away, the real Da Shi was engaged in combat with Kakashi and Obito.
Clang, clang, clang!
The sounds of kunai clashing echoed through the forest. Da Shi seized an opportunity and grazed Kakashi's left eye with a kunai, drawing blood.
"Ah! Damn it!"
Kakashi clutched his bleeding left eye with one hand, barely fending off the opponent with his kunai. His vision blurred, and he braced himself on the ground with one hand.
"Kakashi, are you okay!" Obito held his kunai in front of Kakashi, his gaze constantly scanning the surroundings, but he couldn't see the enemy anywhere.
"It's useless! This is my secret technique, Camouflage Invisibility Jutsu! You two brats will never see through it!"
Da Shi's voice came from the empty forest, but Obito and Kakashi couldn't see him.
"Damn it!"
Obito felt helpless. He realized how weak he was, a useless dead last. But...
"Die!"
Da Shi's figure suddenly appeared behind Obito, swinging his kunai at him, his face contorted with a bloodthirsty expression.
*Pfft!*
Blood splattered!
Da Shi stared in disbelief at the kunai that had pierced his chest, muttering, "How is this possible? How did you find me! Your eyes..."
"But... if it's to protect Kakashi, I'm willing to give my all!"
Obito looked up, the two black tomoe in his eyes slowly spinning. He had finally awakened the Sharingan!
Da Shi's figure slowly fell, his face still etched with disbelief. As a Jonin of the Stone Village, he had fallen at the hands of two brats, how infuriating!
"Obito, your eyes..."
Kakashi looked at Obito's eyes in surprise. They were the same eyes as Teacher Lin Yu!
"Ah, this is probably the Sharingan. Now I can clearly see the flow of chakra and movements. Kakashi, how are you?"
Kakashi pulled out emergency bandages from his ninja pouch and wrapped his left eye, saying grimly, "It's not serious for now. Let's save Rin first!"
"Okay!"
Without pausing to rest, the two figures gradually disappeared into the forest.
...
"What's going on? Why isn't Da Shi back yet? Taking this long for a restroom break!"
Hokaku leaned against the wall, chewing on a blade of grass, looking somewhat bored.
"Didn't you tell him to lure the enemy?"
Magyū, who was setting up a trap, paused for a moment and suddenly exclaimed, "Something's happening!"
*Boom!*
The top of the cave entrance was blown open, and two figures descended from the sky.
"Obito, you go save Rin, I'll keep them occupied!"
"Okay, Kakashi, be careful. I'll be right there to help you!"
Obito's figure swiftly moved towards Rin. However, when he saw the chaotic chakra flow around Rin with his Sharingan, he became angry. "Damn it, they used genjutsu on Rin."
Obito flew to Nohara Rin's side and channeled his chakra into her. He didn't know the hand seals to dispel genjutsu, so he could only use this crude method to disrupt the chakra flow and thus break the genjutsu.
When Nohara Rin regained consciousness, she saw Obito in front of her and Kakashi fighting. She shouted loudly, "You guys hurry and leave, this is a trap!"
"Heh heh! Too late!"
Hokaku forced Kakashi back with a slash, then slammed his hands on the ground, forming hand seals: "Earth Style: Stone Room Collapse!"
As soon as Hokaku finished speaking, rocks began to fall from the cave ceiling. The entire cave swayed precariously!
"No good, this place is going to collapse! Hurry, run towards the exit!"
The three who had gathered together dodged the falling rocks as they ran towards the exit.
"No time left, die! Leaf ninja brats."
Magyū pulled a fuse from his hand. A row of explosive tags appeared near the exit. After Hokaku emerged from the exit, Magyū did not hesitate and pulled the fuse.
*Boom!*
The exit was instantly sealed by the explosion of the explosive tags, causing the already precarious cave to look like it was about to collapse. The falling boulders became even more dense!
Suddenly, a piece of debris struck Kakashi's injured left eye. The intense pain made him dizzy, and he knelt on the ground.
"Kakashi!"
A crimson glint flashed in Obito's eyes. He saw a huge boulder falling towards Kakashi and immediately lunged towards him. At that moment, his speed was faster than the Flying Thunder God!
*Boom!*
A cloud of dust rose outside the cave and only settled after a long while.
...
"Hmm?"
Hundreds of kilometers away, Lin Yu, who was watching the battle between Kurama and Madara Uchiha, felt a jolt. He seemed to sense that a portion of the Undying Underworld Flame he had given to Obito had been consumed.
Did Tuzi Ge get crushed by rocks so quickly? Looks like I need to wrap this up!
"Kurama, let me take over. You fat shut-in can't beat Madara!"
At this moment, Kurama was kicked flying again by Madara Uchiha, with multiple bruises on his face. Although they would heal in an instant, his disheveled appearance was obvious.
"Hmph! I haven't had enough yet!"
Lin Yu sighed helplessly. You haven't had enough being beaten. Although he was borrowing Lin Yu's body, Kurama didn't know Wood Style, nor did he know ninjutsu. His foxy style of "scratch, claw, bite, pounce" was purely a beating style.
Kurama also knew he couldn't defeat Madara Uchiha using Lin Yu's body, so he said proudly, "Next time, I'll come out in my true form! I'll beat Madara Uchiha to death!"
Lin Yu: If your true form comes out, you'll be taking my life!
As the bloody demonic pupils in his eyes disappeared, black pupils reappeared. Lin Yu's true self took over!
Madara Uchiha, standing nearby, was displeased. They were switching players? Wasn't this bullying an old man?
If it were my younger days, I could handle as many of you as you sent!
Lin Yu stretched his body a little, feeling that something was off after Kurama had used it. The way it operated was not human-like.
"Sorry, I have an urgent matter. It seems we'll have to fight another time."
Lin Yu gave Madara Uchiha a friendly smile. This was his major client, and he absolutely couldn't afford to offend him!
"Run? Sorry, I, Uzumaki Lin Yu, don't have that habit! But things are urgent, so let this thing play with you!"
"Wood Style: Wood Golem Jutsu!"
"This is!"
In Madara Uchiha's shocked gaze, a giant wooden golem rose from the ground, a wooden dragon wrapped around its waist.
This was Hashirama's Wood Style. How could Uzumaki Lin Yu have mastered it? And it was Hashirama's most skilled technique, the Wood Golem Jutsu! How was this possible?!
A golden magical circle pattern appeared in Lin Yu's eyes. He beckoned to Madara Uchiha, "Have fun! See you next time!"
*Swish!*
Madara Uchiha watched Lin Yu's figure disappear in an instant and muttered, "Space-time ninjutsu? Uzumaki Lin Yu, you're getting more and more interesting!"
As for Uzumaki Lin Yu possessing Mangekyo Sharingan, he wasn't too surprised. After all, compared to Mangekyo Sharingan, the Wood Style before him was more astonishing.
It had been a long time since he had encountered Wood Style that could rival Hashirama's. I originally thought only I, Madara Uchiha, could wield it!
