Jinin Daiga and the new Blacksmith hurried forward to observe.
"The shinobi tools here are much stronger than those of the Land of Iron."
"The high-quality shinobi tools produced on Forging Island before can't compare either."
Jinin Daiga gripped the axe in his hand, quite satisfied.
"Jinin Daiga, how is it?"
"Chief Uehara, it's excellent."
"Good to hear."
"Chief Uehara, once I return home, I'll immediately send the money over."
"No rush, just send it over when you have time."
Soma was in a good mood. Crafting this axe, not only did he gain reputation. But also traded it away on the spot.
And just like that, Jinin Daiga would be grateful to Soma. In terms of connections, he gained another one.
According to Jinin Daiga's own words, his ninja talent was above Jinin Akebino's, so when Jinin Daiga focused his energy on ninja training, he might reach the level of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
If there was another suitable Ninjato, he might even reach the level comparable to Biwa Juzo's.
"Such characters, in the original plot, were not mentioned by name."
"They may have died in the war."
"On the battlefield, there are actually many skilled ninjas who died anonymously like that."
Jinin Daiga left with the shinobi tool axe.
"Tanaka Shinnosuke, welcome to join us."
When Soma saw the name of this Blacksmith, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
It's exactly the same as Sarutobi Hiruzen's eldest son.
"Thank you, Minister."
"From today, you are an apprentice Blacksmith of Forging Island. If you pass the one-month internship, you can become a regular employee and enjoy official benefits."
Soma said, "Your usual work is to forge surgical knives with Arafuni."
"Yes, Minister."
Soma hurried back to his room. Closing the doors and windows, he looked at the semi-transparent panel in front of him.
"Ten consecutive draws... Begin!"
In the next moment.
[Physique +1!]
[Spirit +1!]
...
[Spirit +1!]
[Water Dragon Possession Blueprint X1!]
[Physique +1!]
With a thought from Soma, the blueprint appeared.
A stream of information flooded into his mind.
"Water Dragon Possession, originating from the World of Akame Ga Kill, Liver's Teigu."
"The main effect is to enhance the ability to manipulate water, allowing manipulation of any water within the objects it touches."
"Made from the organs of dangerous creatures that control water flow."
"It looks like a ring."
Soma looked at the blueprint in his hand.
"The contractor of this Water Dragon Possession should be easier to deal with than Pioggia."
"Water attribute ninjas are everywhere in the Hidden Mist Village."
"Therefore, the compatibility with the attribute must be high."
"As for the similarity to Liver."
"Liver in the World of Akame Ga Kill was originally a general of the Empire, but because he refused a bribe, he was framed. Later, he was saved by Esdeath and became Esdeath's subordinate."
"No blank hexagram."
"This time, like with the Skeleton Emperor, it's a single-player dungeon instance."
Soma hesitated for a moment.
"I'll adjust my status before entering the dungeon tomorrow. Even though this mission is likely not combat-oriented, I absolutely can't be careless."
...
The next day, after breakfast, Soma entered the forging room.
"Enter!"
Along with God's Hand, Soma even brought Pioggia.
Because he was a blacksmith, Soma could use Pioggia.
Transforming into a mermaid made Soma feel strange.
But the enhancement was real.
He had conducted some tests. After entering the mermaid form, Soma's basic attributes could reach the level of a Jonin.
And with Soma's proficiency in Water Release,
It can be said that Soma is a true Water Release Jonin.
In terms of Ninjutsu, among Water Release Jonin, he is outstanding.
In the next moment, Soma's figure disappeared.
...
"Kakashi, Rin has been found!"
A Konoha ninja approached Kakashi.
"Where?"
Kakashi asked urgently.
"On the road near the village, but there are many Hidden Mist ninjas nearby, and Rin's condition seems a bit off. Be mentally prepared."
Kakashi didn't hesitate, and rushed straight over.
When Kakashi arrived, the ninjas from Konoha and the Hidden Mist were already engaged in battle.
"Kill!"
Kakashi's eyes were bloodshot.
Now Kakashi could already feel the burden of the Sharingan on himself.
Constantly draining his chakra uninterrupted.
Only when covered with an eye mask would he feel a bit better.
Unable to turn it off, Kakashi's sustained combat ability was much worse than before.
This made Kakashi consider at one point whether to remove the Sharingan and replace it with an ordinary ninja's eyes.
On the battlefield, corpses were everywhere, so finding an intact eye wasn't difficult.
But Kakashi didn't do that.
Uchiha Obito was already dead.
This was Uchiha Obito's only momento.
After the Hidden Rock ninjas retreated, Konoha's ninjas searched, and Kakashi also searched.
But Uchiha Obito's body was not found.
It can be said that for Kakashi, this eye is the only proof of his comrade's existence.
However, Kakashi didn't think that the Sharingan had no benefits for him.
The dynamic vision of the Sharingan is extremely powerful.
Some movements that seemed fast to Kakashi before now appear to be slowed down. Moreover, he can observe the flow of the opponent's chakra.
See clearly the opponent's hand seals. Therefore, even copying Ninjutsu is possible.
Kakashi hasn't used it to copy yet, but relying on the powerful dynamic vision, predicting the opponent's attacks, Kakashi has gained a lot of advantages.
However, the presence of this Sharingan has caused many Uchiha ninjas to have significant grievances against Kakashi.
If it weren't for Kakashi's sensei, Minato Namikaze, Uchiha members would have already taken action against Kakashi.
Even so, there are still many discussions about this. But Kakashi doesn't care.
Kakashi only cares about a few people.
And now, the one Kakashi cares about the most is Rin.
"Splurt!"
A stab, a withdrawal.
Blood splattered.
As Kakashi fought, he exerted all his strength to move closer to where Rin was.
Under intense anger, Kakashi became calmer.
Faced with the attacks of the Hidden Mist ninjas, he reached the utmost level of calmness.
All attacks were dealt with in the most correct manner. His body seemed to be in a state of evolution.
Kakashi's body naturally didn't evolve. But his will, his fighting, was indeed evolving.
Kakashi was getting stronger.
"Rin!"
However, when Kakashi crossed countless enemies and finally rushed to Rin's vicinity.
Rin woke up, opened her eyes. When she looked at Kakashi, at first, her eyes showed surprise.
But then, it turned into sadness. Rin looked at Kakashi, revealing a grim smile, a gentle grim smile.
"Kakashi, they've sealed the Three-Tails inside my body. They want to send me to Konoha and then guide the tailed beast to erupt, causing destruction to Konoha."
"Kakashi, we can't let that happen. It would cause too much damage. It would lead to the deaths of countless people."
Upon hearing the news, Kakashi was suddenly stunned.
After surveying the surroundings, Rin's gaze became resolute, as if she had made a decision.
"Kakashi, there's only one way to stop this from happening."
"That is to kill me."
"Kill me, Kakashi."
"Only then can Konoha be saved!"
Kakashi subconsciously looked around and realized that at some point, almost all the other ninjas from Konoha had fallen.
All around were Hidden Mist ninjas.
And the other Konoha ninjas meant to provide support wouldn't arrive so quickly.
With his strength alone, Kakashi couldn't hold them off.
In other words, what Rin said was correct. If they continued, the Hidden Mist ninjas would surely send Rin to Konoha.
At that time, it would be a real disaster for Konoha.
However, Kakashi hesitated. Was it really okay to kill a comrade with his own hands for the village?
Is the village really more important than a comrade?
What is the village? What does it mean? Can he represent the village?
Or is it someone like Asuma who can represent the village?
The Hidden Mist ninjas surrounded them.
Encircling Kakashi and Rin in the middle.
"Kakashi, there's no time!" Rin urged loudly.
"Quickly, kill me. For the village, kill me quickly."
At Rin's urging, Kakashi subconsciously condensed Lightning Release Chakra in his hand.
Chidori flickered in the hand holding the kunai.
But he couldn't take the final step.
Kakashi couldn't do it. At that moment, Rin rushed towards Kakashi on her own initiative.
She slammed her body onto the kunai in Kakashi's hand.
"Splurt!"
The sound of the kunai piercing the body entered Kakashi's ears.
At the same time, the lightning of Chidori erupted within Rin's body, piercing even her heart.
Kakashi's eyes widened.
"Kakashi, I've been placed under a Cursed Seal and can't commit suicide, so I'm sorry... I know this is cruel for you."
"Don't blame me. Remember me. Remember me and Obito. That's enough for me."
"I died for the village, and I have no regrets."
Blood flowed from Rin's mouth, trailing down. Dropping onto Kakashi's hand.
The warm blood provided Kakashi with even greater stimulation.
"Ahh!"
Kakashi roared, his anger reaching its peak.
The Sharingan in his eye socket began to spin wildly.
Suddenly, the pattern on it changed.
From the double tomoe, it transformed into three sharp sickles assembled together.
A burst of intense ocular power erupted above Kakashi's eyes.
The tremendous impact caused Kakashi to lose consciousness directly and fall down.
Rin's body collapsed as Kakashi fell, softly lying on top of Kakashi.
At this moment, Kakashi felt an extreme hatred towards the Hidden Mist Village.
Even though there had been conflicts between the Hidden Mist Village and Konoha before.
However, Kakashi didn't feel this way before.
He just felt that in war, death was a normal thing.
He even admired the strength displayed by Hoshigaki Kisame.
But now, Kakashi's mindset had changed.
While Kakashi fainted, his angry shouts didn't stop.
At this moment, the Mist Ninjas finally noticed that on the other side, a figure had appeared at some point.
Wrapped in a black robe, wearing a mask.
But everyone could feel the anger beneath that black robe, the anger beneath that mask.
Uchiha Obito's mentality collapsed.
In order to save Rin, to save Kakashi, Uchiha Obito sacrificed his own life.
He even gave one of his eyes to Kakashi.
But now?
Uchiha Obito, who had finally returned, could only watch helplessly as his comrade, his favorite girl, Rin, died at the hands of his comrade, his best friend.
The pain, it's unbearable!
It's driving me crazy!
Uchiha Obito hugged his head with both hands, his aura constantly changing.
"Why?"
"Why?"
"Why?"
"Damn it!"
"Rin!"
"I want you all dead!"
"All of you!"
Uchiha Obito rushed towards the Mist Ninjas.
Ignoring everything, at any cost... he just wanted to kill all the Mist Ninjas present.
"Wood Release: Cutting Jutsu!"
Initially not paying much attention to Uchiha Obito, it was only when the Mist Ninjas, who were troubled by the inability to complete the mission due to Rin's death saw his strength that they showed expressions of fear.
"Deal with this presumptuous guy first!"
But soon it turned into shouts of "Run!"
But it was already too late.
Harnessing the power of Hashirama's cells, White Zetsu's abilities, and the Mangekyo Sharingan, Uchiha Obito is now unstoppable for the Mist Ninjas present.
"Die!"
