Naruto, starting with immortality, I'm going to buy up the ninja world!

Chapter 125 Kannabi Bridge

An enemy emerged from the darkness, holding a long sword in one hand and a kunai in the other, grinning maliciously at the three of them.

"What, have all the people of Konoha been wiped out? It's pathetic to send children as big as you to the battlefield."

"Damn you, don't underestimate us. We are Konoha ninjas."

"Ninjas? Hahahaha, how ridiculous. Kid, this isn't some ninja game you're joking about, this is war, and war kills people!"

With a roar, the demon leech hurled a kunai at Kakashi.

He didn't attack Obito immediately because he realized that Obito was just an idiot. Among the three brats, the truly powerful one was the one with the ninja sword who had just deflected all of his attacks with a single strike.

Kakashi didn't hesitate either. He stepped forward and deflected the kunai with another slash. At the same time, his left hand erupted with dazzling lightning, which exploded and made a sound like the cry of a thousand birds.

"Chidori!"

With a single strike of Thousand Birds, he stabbed at the demon leech.

Kakashi's palm pierced through the body of the demon leech, but the demon leech exploded into a cloud of white mist.

"Kakashi, watch out! That's a shadow clone!"

Obito immediately formed hand seals and spat out a ball of flame.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

The fireball flew past and hit the demon leech that appeared above Kakashi. Surprisingly, the demon leech was also a clone.

"Hahahaha, so that's what you call a brat! Prepare to die!"

Several demonic leeches suddenly appeared from the darkness, each holding a kunai. Seeing that the two were completely unprepared, they simultaneously hurled their kunai at them.

"Damn it, so many kunai, I can't dodge them all! No, there should only be one real one!"

Obito anxiously tried to distinguish between the real and fake kunai, while Kakashi had already charged forward again with his ninja sword.

"Whoosh!"

"Ding--!"

Amidst a flurry of kunai, Kakashi successfully knocked the real kunai away with a single strike, while simultaneously unleashing a blinding burst of lightning from his palm.

"Chidori!"

Another Thousand Birds strike pierced the chest of the opponent's demon leech.

However, the attack was easily dodged by the demon leech, who then slashed out with his sword, striking Kakashi's raised left armpit.

The pain in his hand caused the Thousand Birds on his hand to instantly disappear.

But Kaka was no pushover either; enduring the excruciating pain, he swung the blade left to him by his father with his right hand.

"Hatake Style: White Fang Flash!"

With a single slash, a crescent-shaped blade flashed, and blood splattered.

Kakashi slashed the demon leech in the back.

However, the Demon Leech was not angry because of his injury. He immediately activated his ninjutsu and used Earth Submarine to escape underground.

"He's gone underground, everyone be careful!"

Obito shouted, warily scanning his surroundings.

The moment his voice fell, a hand emerged from the ground and grabbed Obito's foot.

"what--!"

Obito was startled when he saw the leech suddenly appear and grab his foot.

"Die, you brat!"

The demon leech slashed out with a single blow.

However, his incredibly bitter knife appeared even faster on the leech's head.

"Whoosh!"

A figure appeared out of thin air.

"Spiral pills!"

The Rasengan hit Ai-chan directly, and Hiruzen didn't even have time to let out a wail.

"Minato-sensei!"

Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Minato appear.

"Are you all alright?"

After confirming Hiru's death, Minato inquired about the situation of the others.

Obito wiped away his tears.

"I'm fine, but Kakashi got hurt because of his recklessness."

Kakashi covered his wound and glared at Obito, while Rin stepped forward to examine Kakashi's wound and began to treat it.

"What kind of look is that?!"

Seeing that Kakashi was somewhat unconvinced, Obito spoke up even more defiantly.

"It was clearly because of your own recklessness and stubbornness that you got hurt."

Kakashi looked at the defiant Obito, noticing the obvious tear tracks on his eyes, and calmly said...

"Article 25 of the Ninja Manual states that as a ninja, you must never let others see your tears. The enemy saw you crying just now, didn't they? Someone like you has no right to talk to me."

"You! You! You! Ah—!"

"You two, that's enough!"

Lin looked at the two arguing and felt a little angry.

"We're all teammates, can't we talk things out properly? If there's a problem, can't we discuss it calmly and solve it together?"

"Hmph!"

Obito turned his head away, and Kakashi also turned his head away, no longer looking at Obito.

After healing Kakashi's injuries, Rin dragged Kakashi to Obito and then held their hands together.

"You two, talk to each other properly! We're still on a mission, and we can't let your conflict affect it, understand?!"

The two tried to argue, but a pair of large hands pressed down on their heads, and Minato revealed a sunny smile.

"Lin is right. You two need to work together well, understand? The front line is still very dangerous. I may need to go and provide support. The next mission will require your cooperation. As soon as it's over there, I will come back as quickly as possible."

"OK then."

"understood."

The two nodded and, with Minato as their witness, sealed their reconciliation.

The next morning, Minato left, and the three continued their stealthy approach to Kannabi Bridge.

Soon, they came to see a huge river valley, and a magnificent bridge spanned the entire valley, connecting the two sides.

"That's the Kannabi Bridge, our target for this mission."

Obito swallowed hard as he looked at the bridge in front of him.

"Kakashi, do we have enough explosive tags to destroy this bridge?"

"That should be enough. We just need to destroy the bridge's key support points. Once those support points are destroyed, the entire bridge will collapse."

It's rare for Kakashi to say so much, and it's only because these things are related to the mission that he wouldn't waste so much breath.

"Get ready, go scout the area first, and find an opportunity to plant explosive tags to destroy this bridge!"

Kakashi gave the battle order, and the three of them set off immediately.

They stealthily made their way towards the Kannabi Bridge.

However, secretly, two pairs of eyes were already watching them.

The location of the Kannabi Bridge that they had previously observed was at a high point, and to get closer to the Kannabi Bridge, they needed to walk along the valley through a bamboo forest.

The three of them walked through the bamboo forest in a triangular formation.

Kakashi and Obito walked side by side in front, while Rin stood guard behind them.

After entering the bamboo forest, Obito felt a sense of unease.

The tall bamboo groves blocked out the sun, and the dense bamboo forest made the space dimly lit.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out, and several sharpened bamboo stalks flew towards the three of them from the sky.

"Enemy attack! Everyone be careful! Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Obito shouted and quickly formed hand seals, spewing out raging flames from his mouth.
