Chapter 201 The Awakening of the Pieces
Just two days later, Kirigakure's operation began!
Upon returning, Kakashi was initially anxious upon learning of Rin Nohara's disappearance. However, just the next day, things unfolded exactly as Juzo Biwa had predicted—
He didn't need to search for information; the information came to him on its own!
A Root ninja has come to report.
"Captain Kakashi, we've received intelligence that Kirigakure is planning a dangerous scheme! They intend to bypass the frontal defenses and release the Tailed Beasts into Konoha Village in the rear!"
And the container needed for this opportunity is none other than your teammate, Rin Nohara.
Kakashi appeared outwardly calm upon hearing this, his micro-expressions completely concealed by his mask and headband, but inwardly he was experiencing a turbulent surge of emotions.
The defector swordsman in the mist actually predicted it correctly?
Is it a coincidence? Or is someone really plotting against them?
After a moment's hesitation, Kakashi gave the order: "Immediately notify the representatives of the major ninja clans at the front lines and order them to assemble their ninjas immediately!"
The Root ninjas who received the order were momentarily stunned.
"Captain, aren't you going to set off immediately to rescue your teammates? Notifying the ninja clan will take up a lot of time."
If no one had warned him, Kakashi might have impulsively gone to the rescue alone.
In the original story, he did roughly the same thing.
But now he has been subjected to countless interferences, and over the past few days, people have repeatedly reminded him in various ways that there is a conspiracy behind this.
Now, upon hearing the Root ninja's suggestion, Kakashi, having calmed down, not only felt a sense of absurdity but also instantly became wary.
"Lin is my teammate, not yours. She's not even a member of Root. Why are you so worried about her?"
The Root ninja was speechless at the question.
"Well, because she's Minato's disciple, a medical ninja, and quite important..."
Before he could finish his attempt to make amends, Kakashi suddenly unleashed a Chidori that pierced his chest with a single blow!
"You... Kakashi, how dare you—?"
The Root ninja's eyes were wide open, blood flowing continuously from the jaw of his animal mask, and he breathed his last in the blink of an eye.
Kakashi withdrew his hand, tore open the man's tattered ninja vest, and sure enough, found traces of white spores parasitizing along the line from the chest to the neck.
"Shisui was right; these things have indeed infiltrated the interior of Konoha."
The next moment, Kakashi stepped over the corpses on the ground and walked calmly toward the command post in the center of the camp.
After receiving so many reminders, Kakashi finally stopped letting his impulsive and boastful emotions control his mind, allowing his intelligence to regain its dominance.
No matter how urgent things are, you must first disclose the information and then call in people to deal with it together!
It's no wonder that he was left to stop such a major event as a tailed beast attacking the village all by himself!
Now that the pieces that were originally at the mercy of others have suddenly become enlightened after being guided, it's time for the players behind the scenes to have a headache.
The operation had already begun, but Black Zetsu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, waiting for the male protagonist to arrive.
"Damn it! What's going on?! The news has been out for so long, why is that brat Kakashi still so calm? How can he be so rational?!"
In order to quickly advance the Three-Tailed Plan, Black Zetsu has put all the chips in the front line and surrounding areas on the table!
Without the direct orders of the Mizukage, it would take them a great deal of effort to influence the decisions of the frontline commander.
This operation basically used all the hidden agents, and he himself knew very well that Kirigakure's Three-Tails plan was destined to fail!
If the future plan fails and there is no water shadow to resist lightning, all the hidden agents who participated in and supported this plan will have to take the blame!
He won't have another chance to do it again anytime soon.
"The plan must be completed! Where is Obito now?" he asked Fei anxiously.
"They're already on their way."
"If all else fails, activate the backup plan: have Lin escape and seek him out for help!"
Over the past few months, Obito has been recovering his body while receiving their brainwashing and guidance. He has made rapid progress in just a few months and is now considered to have some strength.
For this reason, Black Zetsu has been racking his brains to come up with an alternative plan.
"Check Rin's insurance policy one more time to make sure it's reliable. If all else fails, we'll create an excuse for her to slip away and die in Obito's arms!"
When creating a script for depravity, they always carry out the act of being utterly inhuman to the fullest extent.
The prerequisite for doing so is, of course, to let Lin understand the current situation.
Soon after, the imprisoned Nohara Rin "coincidentally" learned of Kirigakure's entire plan to release the tailed beasts.
However, at this moment, Rin's mindset also took an unexpected turn, just like Kakashi's!
"It really is just as that mysterious person said? Is it really just a coincidence that I, a mere vessel, easily overheard such an important plan?"
At this moment, Lin's mind was also in turmoil!
She repeatedly used medical ninjutsu to examine her body, and after receiving a pessimistic answer, she finally made up her mind at this moment!
The Hidden Mist ninjas around her were still leading her, pretending to move towards Konoha Village.
Black Zetsu followed in the shadows.
At one point, Afei quietly left to guide Obito closer to the stage they had planned for their grand performance!
At this moment, all the Konoha ninjas also sprang into action.
At the strong request of the Uchiha clan, or more precisely, Uchiha Shisui, this time it was not Kakashi alone who came from Konoha to intercept and rescue them.
Instead, it was a vast force of several hundred elite ninjas!
Although they set off late, this time they were more efficient in finding their target because they brought along Byakugan ninjas from the Hyuga clan, and they didn't catch up with the Kirigakure transport team much later!
So, somewhere deep inland, far from the coastline, the two sides finally met!
The captain of the sixth squad of the Hidden Mist, possessed by White Zetsu, deliberately created a flaw, allowing Nohara Rin, the key vessel, to escape control.
"What happened? How could the container suddenly wake up?! Who is responsible for guarding her?"
The other secret service commanders who were cooperating with the operation were all furious at this moment!
How could someone make such a basic mistake on such a crucial mission?
Lin is free! She knows everything!
Kakashi arrived late, but he finally appeared not far in front of her at this moment!
As if sensing something, Obito suddenly accelerated, shaking off Tobi who was guiding him, and ran wildly through the forest with all his might, shouting loudly.
"Lin! Lin! You can't be hurt, Lin!"
At that moment, Black Zetsu, who was hiding in the shadows, clenched his fist in excitement!
Everything was planned for this moment!
If Rin chooses to sacrifice herself, the hidden agents in the Hidden Mist Army will block all the Konoha ninja except Kakashi, forcing Kakashi to take action himself!
If Rin chooses to survive, the hidden agents will deliberately drive her towards the direction Obito is coming from!
No matter what choice he makes, Obito is destined to experience the depraved process of losing his beloved forever and seeing only ruin around him today!
Just thinking about what happened made the pitcher plant on his head excitedly open and close repeatedly.
He even started thinking about how to take away and dispose of Lin's body.
But unexpectedly, at the most crucial moment, the male and female protagonists he had placed high hopes on both deviated from his expected path!
After being released, Lin neither despaired nor tried to escape in a cowardly manner.
Instead, they formed hand seals on the spot—
The next moment, the roar of the Three-Tails suddenly resounded throughout the entire battlefield!
