"When did you learn this type of ninjutsu?" Kakashi's forehead was beaded with cold sweat. If such a powerful explosion were to target him, he would definitely not be able to escape.
The biggest problem wasn't the explosion itself, but what the hell Takeshi was using to create explosions!
"Just because I didn't see it doesn't mean I don't know how it the exploding 'ball' was created", Kakashi muttered, "Even someone like Obito could guess it."
"Don't worry about it, Meow~ and focus on running for your life." Takeshi said, embarrassed. If it weren't for points, he wouldn't have used such shameful ninjutsu, it was really embarrassing.
But it was also incredibly powerful. The last time Takeshi didn't boosted the Jutsu with chakra. This time, however, chakra was further used during it's creation, making it far more powerful than before.
That Combined with Wind Release Toad Gun, this could be called a beggar's version of the tailed beast ball.
"But they..."
"There are still ninjas who have survived and can move... We need to leave." Minato returned to them, gasping slightly. Not from exhaustion but from injury.
To cover his eyes and ears from explosion, he left a shadow clone while escaping with Flying Thunder God, so that the enemy couldn't get any evidence.
But at that moment, two shadow clones were killed simultaneously, exerting a tremendous amount of phantom pain on his body, which almost made him faint. Fortunately, he had incredible willpower and was able to hold on to his consciousness.
"Okay." Kakashi stood up immediately, and Takeshi ran along the retreat route of Obito and Rin.
Both of them were very fast, and they left the small battlefield in a short time.
The five ANBU ninjas behind them followed, still intimidated by the lingering fear of the explosion. With such a big explosion, if they were the one's targeted, they would've died... no, maybe even death would be difficult.
Sunagakure Village would not let them die easily. But fortunately, they were not the target.
They were grateful for Minato's teams support, Minato's team had done their best to protect and isolate them from blast with Earth Release Earth-Style Wall before releasing the explosion.
If the explosion wasn't so sudden not giving anyone time to react, the ninjas of Sunagakure would've also prepared countermeasures.
They estimated that at least around eight ninjas died in the explosion, and it was unknown how many serious or minor injuries there were.
The Land of Wind lacked resources, and it was not easy to raise these elites. So many casualties had made Chiyo feel distressed and would keep her busy tending to the survivors.
Rushing ahead, Takeshi led Minato and Kakashi to track Obito and Rin. After running for a while, he sensed a huge and familiar chakra, part of it was Nekomata's chakra, and the other part came from Obito.
"Meow! They are in danger!" Takeshi shouted. Rin didn't use summoning jutsu to summon himself, obviously because she was afraid of affecting Minato's plan, so she only summoned Nekomata.
Obito's chakra likely has been expanded, which showed that the situation is indeed quite dangerous. There was still some distance to go, which would take at least two-three minutes to reach.
"I'll go ahead." Minato said before using Shunshin. When there were no distractions, his support was usually very quick.
"Meow!" 'Take me with you!' Takeshi was feeling annoyed but couldn't complain at this moment and ran forward. While running, he opened the system panel and looked at the points on the system panel.
More than 19,000 points! This attack gained him more than 7,000 points. This number was considered to be Takeshi's largest increase in one attack so far, but there was still a gap of around five hundred points from Flying Thunder God, which is quite annoying!
As Takeshi looked around, he finally focused on Kakashi, wondering if he should take some points from him to make up for his last shortcomings. But after thinking about it, it seemed a little inappropriate, especially at current moment.
'Forget it...hey, why am i still getting points!' What Takeshi didn't know was that at this moment, Chiyo was enduring pain to treat her subordinates who were seriously injured in the explosion.
Despite clearing the area is Wind Release and Water Release to remove the smell and douse fires, and it did work as the scent was almost non-existent.
But Chiyo could still smell it, as he had been studying poisons for many years and had a good nose.
She could even smell what the Takeshi had eaten today... Angering her further!
With the continuous supply points from Granny Chiyo, around two hundred points were earned in a short moment. This was the result of doing good deeds without leaving his name.
If he had shown his identity, he might have gained more than 10,000 points in that attack. It's a pity that this trip required concealment of identity.
Even Minato's Flying Thunder God had to be covered by a shadow clone. 'Just abit more to go!' Takeshi was anxious, looked back, and said angrily: "Meow~ You should hurry up, oh~ great genius, saving our team is your mission now!"
"You!" Kakashi saw Takeshi pulling ahead from him, and then, after being taunted, he glared in annoyance and decisively activated the Lightning Release Chakra to stimulate his muscles.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, he caught up and surpassed Takeshi, and after a moment, he had already pushed Takeshi away by more than ten steps.
But the next second, Swish! After a soft sound of leaves rustling, he saw Takeshi disappear from the place.
'Huh?' Kakashi was confused, and he couldn't help but want to curse at the cat in his heart. This cat never let go of opportunity to taunt him.
Muttering couple more curses at that damn cat, Kakashi focused on rushing ahead quickly, letting go of unnecessary thoughts.
The ANBU ninjas behind were stunned for a moment and then increased their speed.
In combat zone ahead, Takeshi bought Flying Thunder God while running and teleported using the mark left by Minato on Rin's body as the coordinate.
This process took him a few seconds to understand, but it was not difficult with the help of the system.
When he came to Rin's side, Rin herself was stunned. She didn't remember using the Summoning jutsu to summon Takeshi, but that wasn't the time to care about that right now.
She was injured, but only slightly. Obito was seriously injured, who was almost lying on the ground motionless. He was covered in wounds and looked on verge of death.
When Takeshi arrived, she and Nekomata were putting Obito on Nekomata. "Nya?"
"Nekomata, you carry me and Obito on your back, Takeshi, follow us to protect us... More ninjas from Sunagakure stationed on the border may come here at any time." Rin with alot of effort finally carried Obito onto Nekomata's back.
"Meow!" Takeshi quickly ran forward to clear the way for them. Rin was right; this was the Land of Wind, and staying here would only attract more ninjas, so escaping was the best choice.
But... there were more than a dozen corpses on the ground, and there were still a dozen more being chased by Minato.
So it seems, Obito was alone against the attack of nearly thirty ninjas just now?
This might require atleast opening Gate of Life of Eight Inner Gates (3rd Gate)! No, he still has the Sharingan, so the question is, which method did he use to survive these odds?
Likely because he used Sharingan, it's no wonder Minato wants to kill them all. While letting Takeshi lead the way. In fact, there is no need for it.
The remaining dozen here are all hunted by Minato alone. Anyway, the "Sharingan" has been exposed, and he doesn't care about hiding his identity, so he uses Flying Thunder God without hesitation.
However, Takeshi ran ahead for a while and saw a small team of ninjas, who had Sunagakure headband and their attire. 'Troublesome, but it's about time I made a name for myself as "Black Flash"!'
Takeshi bared his fangs, then took out the cat ninja shurikens he bought beforehand from Neko Granny out of his storage space, pressed a cat paw print on each one, and then quickly threw them out.
After throwing the shuriken, he put on the metal claw gloves given by Orochimaru.
"There's someone nearby!" The captain of the Sunagakure Ninja team who came from the border to support heard the sound and immediately stood ready.
In darkness of night. Since, they don't have good eyesight like with Byakugan nor, do they have the night vision like that of cats.
So their ability to see and distinguish objects in middle of night is much worse. They can only rely on listening to judge the opponent's position.
But the next second, Whoosh! He saw a figure flashing back and forth between the shurikens flying around, and in the process, he was kicked on his back.
It was so fast, and the night was so dark that it was almost impossible to see what was going on. Then, three teammates held their throats and let out a gurgled noises.
He immediately formed a hand seal and wanted to use the earth clone, but at this time, he saw the opponent's eyes.
Giant glowing slit eyes!
He stood there horrified for a moment, and then he saw that the enemy had become extremely terrifying, like the messenger of the god of death, with bony hands clawing forward.
He tried to run away but wherever he passed, the grass and trees turned to ashes and everything withered... 'This had to be a nightmare'.
But alas, it was a pity that the Suna ninja was atleast elite chunin.
This is the Genjutsu Demonic Illusion Hell Viewing jutsu. Although it is a relatively simple Genjutsu, it is very useful when unexpected. Like shown, it has achieved great results this time.
'It's an Genjutsu!' When he dispelled it, it was too late. Takeshi used the Flying Thunder God to reach him, and then ran a claw along his throat.
Orochimaru's metal claw gloves are very useful, extremely sharp, and have no hindrance. With one attack, slicing through limbs isn't an issue.
"Meow?" The Nekomata catching up was a little surprised. In the blink of an eye, a small team of ninjas was wiped out!
He was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted under the warning from Takeshi's eyes and ran forward quickly.
After Takeshi ran farther away, he used the partial Multi-size Jutsu and the transformation jutsu to turn his claws into fists, and then violently bombarded the corpse.
In the blink of an eye, huge fist pits were left on the spot, and the corpse was almost crushed into a paste.
'Well...this way no one won't be able to see the traces of the cat's claws. ' After destroying the crime scene, Takeshi used Flying Thunder God again and rushed ahead of Rin. This trip is destined to be eventful.
After all, they have to pass through the heavily fortified border of Sunagakure, and they cannot directly return to the Land of Fire.
Sadly these obstacles are not trivial, they cannot have evidence directly linking to their village. But fortunately, for now, there is no danger.
"What's wrong with Obito, nya~..."
"There are many broken bones and ligaments in the body, and every part needs to be treated with Mythical Palm Jutsu, but luckily it's not serious and I can heal most of them." Rin used medical ninjutsu to treat the external injuries first, and then used Mythical Palm Jutsu to treat the broken ligaments one by one.
'I guess Third gate Gate of Life was indeed opened.'
