Uchiha Obito was feeling anxious. Last time, Minato Namikaze almost wiped out the A-B Combo instantly, which made Obito not realize how vast the gap in their power was.
But now, in front of the Police Force led by Uchiha Tetsuka, Raikage Ai demonstrated an overwhelming and terrifying advantage! The difference between them seemed as vast as a dimension, impossible to cross!
Ai used his speed to its fullest, leaving no chance for the Uchiha Police Force to breathe, and took them all out with sheer physical strength and incredible speed. It was truly terrifying!
At that moment, Obito was reflecting on the details of the previous battle and finally understood the true weight of Minato Namikaze's title, "Yellow Flash."
"Stay behind me, Rin!" Obito said, even though his legs were shaking. He bravely took out a kunai and held it firmly.
The Sharingan appeared in his red eyes, and the three tomoe slowly spun. He saw the massive figure of Raikage Ai reflected in his gaze.
"Oh? You've already unlocked the Three tomoe at such a young age?" Raikage Ai said, crossing his arms and looking relaxed.
Through the Sharingan, Raikage appeared completely defenseless, with flaws all over his body, as if he would fall with one hit.
But... were these really flaws? Obito's forehead was sweating, and his back felt damp with tension. He didn't dare to look away, knowing that if he relaxed for even a moment, both he and Rin would be in danger of losing their lives.
Just moments ago, Uchiha Tetsuka had been caught off guard and had his neck sliced.
"Hey, Uchiha kid," Raikage Ai said, not rushing to kill them. "Let me ask you something. Do you know the name of the Anbu who broke into Kumogakure, rescued Minato Namikaze, and killed the Third Raikage? You're all from the Uchiha clan, so you should know his name!"
The Uchiha who infiltrated the Cloud Village is still missing, as if he had vanished completely.
Due to his role as an Anbu member, everything about him is kept secret. So even if someone sees him, it's hard to find out his real name quickly.
Moreover, Uchiha Sogetsu's actions in the Hidden Mist Village are still unknown, so no one has any information about it.
"Don't even think about getting any information out of me!"
At this moment, Obito was still very loyal. He clenched his teeth and said, "I will never reveal anything about my teammates to you!"
"Oh, you've got guts, but I've seen many ninjas like you."
Raikage Ai's lips twisted into a sarcastic smile as he slowly lowered his arms. "You say you won't betray your companions, but in reality, when put under pressure, everyone breaks eventually."
"Put it down."
Obito, feeling completely disrespected, got angry and wanted to retort.
But before he could finish his sentence, lightning and thunder crackled around Raikage Ai, and he vanished in an instant. Even Obito's Three-Tomoe Sharingan couldn't track him.
Then, Obito's vision blurred, and an overwhelming force hit him like a tidal wave.
"Boy, didn't anyone teach you not to lose focus in battle?"
Raikage Ai's face was burned into Obito's mind.
Every movement of Raikage Ai was precise and efficient, honed through countless battles.
Perhaps it was the fear of death that heightened Obito's senses, making time feel like it slowed down. He could see Raikage Ai clearly, his arms drawing back like a bow, muscles tensed, ready to strike with explosive power.
"Obito——!"
Seeing this, Rin gasped in horror, as if she knew something terrible was about to happen.
Boom!
A powerful punch, filled with murderous intent, slammed directly into Obito's face.
The punch hit Obito with such force it felt like a high-speed train slamming into him at over 100 kilometers per hour.
For a moment, Obito felt like his brain was jolted and thrown like a cannonball, spinning uncontrollably in the air, unable to find his balance.
It was like being tossed inside a washing machine, with everything spinning wildly. He had no idea how far he flew until he smashed into a rock.
Bang!
The powerful impact drove him into the rock.
It felt as though his insides were jolted out of place, and every bone in his body was broken. The intense pain filled his mind, and he started coughing up blood.
"Ugh."
Obito was dry-heaving, his stomach churning, and stars danced before his eyes. His vision was blurred, warm blood trickled down his forehead, and his body ached as if it was being ripped apart. Even moving a finger felt impossible.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I going to do?
Obito's mind was blank. The punch had nearly knocked out his memory.
After a while, he remembered he was Uchiha Obito, in the Land of Hot Springs, and he needed to protect Nohara Rin.
Rin? Rin!
Obito suddenly snapped back to reality, struggling to lift his head and look for Rin.
When he finally saw Rin, his eyes widened with fear and anger.
"Hey, kid, I'll give you one more chance."
The Raikage's powerful hand, like an iron clamp, gripped Rin's neck and lifted her off the ground.
Compared to the Raikage's imposing figure, Rin looked tiny and helpless, being held up roughly like a small, defenseless bird.
Due to a lack of oxygen, Rin was in intense pain. Her face turned red, and blood vessels were visible on her pale skin. She struggled fiercely, hitting the Raikage repeatedly with her small, pink fists.
However, against the Raikage's strong physique, even sharp kunai couldn't pierce his defenses, let alone Rin, who was a medical ninja.
The little girl's struggles seemed almost trivial to the Raikage, making her appear pitiable, helpless, and weak.
"No, you can't touch her!!!" Obito shouted in a desperate and frantic voice, his eyes bloodshot.
"Tell me his name! His age! His ANBU division!"
The Raikage remained impassive, his expression blank. He tightened his grip, his gaze cold: "Boy, I'll give you one chance. If you tell me the information about him, I'll spare the girl."
"No, no, please, don't hurt Rin!" Obito pleaded.
A fear he had never known before overwhelmed him completely.
It felt like an invisible giant hand had gripped his heart, and a wave of suffocation hit his brain!
But the Raikage remained unmoved, his fingers still tightening as he continued counting down.
"3"
"2"
His voice was like a death toll.
Rin's struggle grew weaker, her eyes rolled back, foam began forming at the corners of her mouth, and she shook uncontrollably.
Clearly, this was a sign that death was near!
"1"
A fierce light flashed in the Raikage's eyes, filled with murderous intent.
At that moment, Obito couldn't take it anymore. He cried out in agony, tears streaming down his face.
In great pain, he bit his lips and hoarsely shouted, "Uchiha Sogetsu! His name is Uchiha Sogetsu, he's seventeen years old, and he's the Captain of Konoha Anbu Team. Please, don't hurt Rin."
"Hehe, look, you'll tell me."
The Raikage sneered and loosened his grip, his eyes full of scorn. "I've seen too many kids like you—full of talk but never willing to betray their friends."
"No, no."
Obito's eyes were vacant. He knelt on the ground, in pain and making weak excuses.
He really wanted to say he hadn't betrayed his friends, but when he tried to speak, the words got stuck in his throat.
"You can go now."
The Raikage looked at him with disdain, as if he were trash. "Killing you would just dirty my hands."
