Chapter 149 The Tranquility Before the War (7)
Iron Kingdom
Meanwhile, on his way to the Land of Iron, Obito was attacked by a group of mysterious ninjas. He easily dealt with the situation, but he wondered about their origins. After a brief exchange, he discovered they bore distinctive markings, suggesting they were members of a hidden organization. "Who are you? Why are you trying to stop me?" Obito demanded. But the ninjas refused to respond and continued to attack. Desperate, Obito decided to fight quickly, unleashing his ultimate move and instantly repelling the ninjas. However, he knew there must be a greater conspiracy at play, and he needed to hasten his journey to the Land of Iron to inform everyone.
When Obito and the Fourth Hokage arrived in the Land of Iron, they saw Tobirama Senju, "Minato, you just came to pick up Obito?" Obviously, they didn't expect Minato to pick up Obito so soon.
"Yes, Second Hokage, we encountered enemy attacks on our way back, but they were not from Otsutsuki. They might be people who deceived Otsutsuki. They have special marks on their bodies." Minato told the Fourth Hokage about his and Obito's discovery.
"It seems they realized something was wrong with us, but they didn't know our exact location." Senju Tobirama nodded. "When you came here, did Itachi notice they were following you?"
"No, we just used the Flying Thunder God I set up." Minato said.
"That's good. They don't know yet that we already know them very well and have conducted targeted training for them, so this is our trump card." Senju Tobirama said with his chin in his hand, "Obito, you know a lot about space. With this foundation, you should be able to learn Flying Thunder God quickly." Senju Tobirama patted Obito's shoulder.
"Actually, I benefited from being a member of the Uchiha family. My knowledge of space is limited to my Kamui. I really don't know much about other things." Obito smiled guiltily, "The teacher didn't teach me that back then." Obito scratched his cheek with his fingers awkwardly.
"It's okay, your Kamui is also a unique space ninjutsu, there must be something similar between them." Senju Tobirama comforted.
At this moment, the alarm suddenly sounded. Everyone's expression froze, and they quickly went on alert. "Could it be that the enemy is chasing us?" Obito clenched his fists.
After Senju Tobirama activated his perception ninjutsu to investigate, he slowly shook his head: "It's not those mysterious people, but some scattered rebellious ninjas who came to cause trouble."
Minato looked at Obito and said, "This is a good opportunity to test your combat abilities." Obito nodded resolutely, drew his weapon, and rushed out. He flashed, using Kamui to attack the rebels unexpectedly. Combined with his previously learned taijutsu and ninjutsu, he quickly defeated the rebels.
After the battle, Senju Tobirama smiled with satisfaction and said, "Obito, you have made great progress. As long as you practice diligently, you will be able to master the Flying Thunder God Technique in no time. And we need to find out the mastermind behind the scenes as soon as possible and stop their conspiracy." Everyone nodded and devoted themselves to the next plan with more determined beliefs.
However, the peace did not last long. During a reconnaissance trip, Obito discovered some unusual traces. These traces had a unique chakra fluctuation that was not like that left by ordinary ninjas.
Obito immediately returned to report to Senju Tobirama and others. After analysis, they believed that this was most likely an advance force sent by the mastermind behind the scenes to further test their strength.
"In that case, let's set a trap and make sure they can't return." Minato's eyes were stern.
So everyone began to carefully plan, using the terrain and various ninjutsu mechanisms to create an ambush circle. When the mysterious ninja stepped into the trap, various ninjutsu instantly unleashed. But to their surprise, these mysterious ninjas were extremely powerful and were able to resist for a while and even attempted to counterattack.
Obito seized the opportunity and launched a sudden attack on the enemy leader with Kamui. But just as he approached, a powerful force pushed him back. "Oh no! This is a restriction specifically designed to target space ninjutsu!" Obito shouted.
Everyone was startled, but they quickly adjusted their tactics and coordinated more closely. After a fierce and arduous battle, they finally defeated the mysterious ninjas. However, after this battle, they also realized that the mastermind behind the scenes was far more difficult to deal with than they had imagined.
Senju Tobirama frowned, "It seems we have to re-evaluate the enemy's strength and find a way to break this spatial restriction." Everyone nodded seriously.
At this time, Kakashi stood up and said, "I have studied some ancient scrolls, which mentioned a special chakra ore that may be able to interfere with spatial restrictions. However, this ore is extremely rare and is said to only grow in a dangerous valley on the border of the Land of Lightning."
"Then let's go and search for it," Minato decided. They cautiously headed towards the border of the Land of Lightning. Along the way, they encountered numerous small attacks, but they were all successfully resolved.
When they arrived near the valley, they could feel strong chakra fluctuations. Just as they were about to enter the valley to explore for ore, a large number of puppets suddenly emerged from all around, each of them emitting a powerful aura.
"It seems that the mastermind behind this had already predicted that we would come here." Obito clenched his fists.
"Then let's deal with these puppets first." Senju Tobirama rushed out first, and the others followed suit, and a new round of battle began.
"What the hell is this?" Obito heard a familiar voice not far away, "Sasuke, is this a puppet? There seems to be a fight ahead, shall we go and see you?" How could they be near the Land of Lightning? But then he thought, Lingyue also has Kamui, so she should also be investigating something about space ninjutsu, so it's not surprising that she appears here. The message was sent out only two days ago, and they are here. They are really fast.
"Lingyue, it's us. We didn't expect you to come so soon." Obito hurriedly greeted Lingyue and the others who were not far away.
"Obito? You just arrived too. These puppets seem to be just delaying time. Use the chakra knife to cut the chakra lines." Lingyue reminded Obito and the others to prevent them from making useless attacks.
"The Second Generation has gone there. I think he has found the person who is controlling the puppet behind the scenes." When Obito saw that the puppet was no longer moving, he knew that the Second Generation had found the person who was controlling the puppet.
"Obito..." The Fourth Hokage was calling Obito, "Lingyue, Sasuke, you are here, are Naruto and Kushina okay?" The Fourth Hokage asked about the recent situation of his wife and children.
"They are all fine and waiting for you to come home." Lingyue smiled.
"That's good. I was thinking about having a good reunion with our family of three." The fourth generation felt a little sad when he thought that he could not be reunited with his wife and children.
