"Minato-sensei!"
Kakashi's voice rang out.
Soon, Kai took in the entire situation.
The ninjas surrounding them, besides Iwa, were also Mist ninjas.
The leader was none other than Zabuza Momochi, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
On the other hand, the Iwa ninjas, perhaps because they were deep behind enemy lines, were led by a few nameless Jōnin.
Seeing Kai and Minato Namikaze suddenly appear, the ninjas on the field were shocked.
"It's a disaster! It's the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze, and the Blood Asura, Uchiha Kai, who's been making headlines lately. Why are they here?"
"It's a space-time jutsu. It's rumored that Minato Namikaze is best at space-time jutsu, so he was able to arrive in time."
"An elder in the village once said that if you encounter Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash, from Konoha, no matter what mission you're on, the first thing you should do is run!"
The scene instantly exploded, and everyone's nerves were on edge.
Looking at the two uninvited guests, the atmosphere on the field became extremely oppressive, as if an invisible hand was tightly squeezing their hearts.
"Run!"
Someone shouted.
Instantly, the Iwa and Mist ninjas surrounding them, like cannonballs, shot out in all directions.
Zabuza Momochi, as the leader, took one last look at Kai before fleeing.
At the same time, a wave of mist rolled back, instantly covering the entire forest.
"Minato-sensei, quickly go after the Mist ninjas. They took Rin," Uchiha Obito said, half his face covered in blood.
A hideous wound slashed across his cheek.
However, what attracted Kai the most was that Uchiha Obito had finally awakened the Sharingan.
Although it was only the weakest single-tomoe, that was still pretty good.
"It seems you've been lucky in misfortune. You even awakened the Sharingan," Kai patted Uchiha Obito's shoulder. "Don't worry, Rin is safe for now."
"Her constitution is very special. If I'm not mistaken, the Mist ninjas are planning to kidnap Rin and turn her into a Three-Tails Jinchūriki."
Jinchūriki?
Minato was no stranger to this term.
At least, someone he knew, Uzumaki Kushina, was the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.
Now the Mist ninjas were planning to kidnap Rin and make her a Jinchūriki. Their ambitions were definitely not small.
"Kai, is this true? Quickly go save Rin, I beg you," Uchiha Obito urged.
Compared to Kakashi, Rin was more important to him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have awakened the Sharingan because of this.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the Mist ninja village. Minato, you take care of blowing up the Kannabi Bridge," Kai said, leaving those words behind.
Lightning crackled around him, and the next moment, he slammed his legs down, launching himself like a cannonball.
His speed was so fast that even the surrounding mist rolled back, and he disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
"Kai!" Minato's expression turned urgent.
Thinking back to how Kai had mentioned Uchiha Madara, it sounded absurd.
However, now, knowing that the Mist ninja village might be a trap, why would Kai still know that they were planning to take Rin?
Moreover, when he mentioned the Three-Tails, Minato's heart clenched.
A more absurd thought flashed through his mind.
Kai wouldn't be planning to attack the Tailed Beast, would he?
If Kai's opponent was really Uchiha Madara, then it was actually possible!
Thinking about this, Minato couldn't contain himself.
"Quickly, let's blow up the Kannabi Bridge, then go after Kai. I'm worried he'll do something stupid," Minato urged.
"Minato-sensei, isn't Kai just going to save Rin?" Kakashi couldn't help but ask.
After witnessing Kai's abilities several times, Kakashi was indeed impressed.
It was because of this that he was willing to let Kai chase after Rin and stay behind to complete the mission.
Moreover, Kakashi's father, Hatake Sakumo's death, was still affecting him.
"If it were just a simple rescue, I wouldn't be worried," Minato said solemnly. "I'm just worried that he'll attack the Mist ninja village's Tailed Beast."
"Once that happens, it will completely ignite the conflict between the two countries."
Attack the Tailed Beast?
Kakashi and Uchiha Obito were stunned.
The Tailed Beasts and Jinchūriki were far too distant for them.
Most importantly, in their eyes, the Tailed Beasts represented disaster.
Jinchūriki were always ostracized and feared by outsiders.
However, now Kai was actually taking the initiative to target the Tailed Beast. They wouldn't believe it if they hadn't heard it with their own ears.
"Alright, now is not the time to guess. Quickly destroy the bridge and go stop Kai. I'm worried he'll do something reckless," Minato urged.
Several thousand meters away from the Kannabi Bridge, figures quickly darted through the mist.
The leader was none other than Zabuza Momochi, carrying his Kubikiribocho.
He was followed by twelve or thirteen Mist ninjas.
"Zabuza-sama, what do we do now?" A Mist ninja couldn't contain himself.
"The Third said we must eliminate them. If we let the Konoha ninjas go back alive, it will affect the plan."
"Shut up!" Zabuza Momochi roared.
"The people we encountered were the Yellow Flash and the Blood Asura. We could run away unconditionally if we faced either of them. If you want to die, you can stay behind."
"Let's continue to scatter and run."
Leaving those words behind, Zabuza Momochi quickly flipped his hands and formed a series of hand seals.
Mist Hiding Technique!
Mist spread again, engulfing the entire forest.
Hearing the footsteps scattering around him, Zabuza Momochi breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the next moment, a deathly aura swept through his entire body, making his muscles tense.
Without thinking, he quickly dodged.
Boom!
A flash of lightning suddenly appeared, like a thunderbolt in the sky.
Zabuza Momochi only felt his cheek sting, and he vaguely felt a tree collapse in the distance.
Two screams echoed through the air.
However, the two screams disappeared in an instant, making the Mist ninjas who had scattered stop in their tracks.
Facing the mist that enveloped the entire forest, their hearts felt like they were being squeezed by an invisible hand.
"Sorry, I was going a little fast just now and accidentally bumped into two Mist ninjas. You don't mind, do you?"
