Chapter 254 Obito's Bait Mission
"Obito, Rin, Itachi, the three of you are in charge of luring the enemy, Kakashi and I will be in charge of the frontal battle, and Shisui and Noriko will be in charge of intercepting them."
The target will soon leave the area familiar to Kyosuke and enter another, less familiar area.
Venturing into an unfamiliar area without proper preparation may carry uncertain risks.
Therefore, Kyosuke quickly devised a simple tactic.
Seeing Obito's changing expression, as if he was about to say something, Kyosuke spoke first: "Obito, there's a high chance that one of the targets is a Jonin. Defeating them is already difficult enough, but capturing them alive is even more difficult. The success of this mission depends on whether you can attract their attention and create good opportunities for everyone to attack. You are the key to this mission!"
Kyosuke's tone was full of expectation and trust, directly silencing Obito's words. Obito's heart was filled with joy, and his face immediately brightened. He readily agreed, promising to complete the mission.
After a quick planning of the attack positions, everyone else set off.
Kakashi leaned closer to Kyosuke and asked softly, "Why did you arrange it this way?"
According to Kakashi's idea, if they and the others rushed up and launched a surprise attack, they would have a good chance of winning.
Now that we're divided into three groups, while it increases our chances of winning tactically and makes us more confident in capturing the target alive, it also increases the risk of making mistakes.
While it's one thing to deal with others, Kakashi couldn't help but feel a little worried about separating Obito, Rin, and Itachi into one clan.
It would be safer to have Kyosuke, Shisui, and Kakashi each lead a group.
Kyosuke looked in the direction Obito had disappeared and turned to Kakashi to ask a question.
"Why is it arranged this way? What exactly are you referring to? Shouldn't we have been divided into three groups, or shouldn't we have trusted Obito?"
Before Kakashi could answer, Kyosuke chuckled softly.
"Hehe, Kakashi, there's nothing wrong with my plan. A bait should look like bait. It should have some strength but not be too strong. Obito and the other two are just right. There's nothing wrong with my plan. You're just worried and confused."
"Look at Obito and Shisui of the Uchiha clan. They didn't react at all when Itachi went to be bait. That's true trust. It's been so many years. You should learn to trust Obito too. You can't keep looking at Obito with the old perspective you had at school."
Kyosuke spoke with an air of righteous indignation, but his true thoughts were quite different.
By exposing Obito and Rin to some dangerous environments, Obito might even improve the level of his Sharingan by chance.
Kyosuke isn't a babysitter; he doesn't want his team members to take any risks. In his mind, the team members are meant to play a role.
His arrangement increased the danger to his teammates but reduced the danger to himself.
This is called making the best use of resources.
Kakashi was somewhat convinced by Kyosuke, thinking to himself that Obito was already a Chunin, so he really couldn't always underestimate him, and he needed to reflect on his own actions.
After exchanging a few words, the two secretly followed Obito and his two companions.
Obito clearly wanted to make a good impression, so he rushed with Rin and Itachi, arriving in front of the Sand Ninja and setting up an ambush to deliver the biggest blow to them.
This is a desolate place, with its barren yellow earth riddled with winding cracks and large and small stones embedded in the soil.
Looking around, all you can see are low, dry weeds, growing here and there in the shadows under the rocks, swaying in the dry wind.
Kyosuke and Kakashi parted ways and went behind a slightly raised mound of earth.
He tilted his head slightly, revealing his right eye as he glanced ahead, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Lin crouched in a depression in the ground, like a groundhog, occasionally peeking out to look left and right to scout the surroundings.
Obito transformed into a rock, but it was rather large and square, making it stand out from the irregular rocks around it.
Itachi lay obediently on the ground to Obito's side and slightly behind, clad in a yellowish-brown camouflage suit. His black eyes stared intently ahead, his hands gripping kunai tightly, ready for battle.
On the distant horizon, four Sand Ninja appeared and ran towards Obito and his two companions.
The leader of this Sand Ninja squad was a man in his thirties, none other than Makino Nanahara.
His three teammates, two men and one woman, were all in their twenties, with very calm expressions and looked very capable.
The four of them quickly approached Obito's location, passing over the rocks that Obito had transformed, as if they hadn't noticed anything.
Their expressions were somewhat stiff; they were all clones. As expected, they had discovered Obito's ambush.
Kyosuke silently observed, preparing to gather intelligence on the enemy.
Closer, even closer.
Okay, now!
Obito was thrilled to see that the Sand Ninja hadn't noticed him. As soon as the Sand Ninja turned their backs to him, he immediately released his transformation jutsu, formed hand seals, and unleashed a fierce burst of flames.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
The flames engulfed the four Sand Ninja, and Obito clenched his fist in delight, revealing a bright smile.
"Yay! I really am a genius, I took care of the enemy in no time!"
Seeing this, Kyosuke smiled.
These three guys did a good job. Rin and Itachi didn't show up, and Obito even deliberately created an opening to lure the enemy.
Having gone through several years of war, they all grew very quickly.
Kyosuke's pupils shifted slightly downwards, his gaze landing on the ground behind Obito.
Splash!
A puppet gecko burst out of the ground, dropping a patch of dirt and rocks, and then opened its mouth to bite down on Obito's left leg.
The puppet gecko has a row of sharp teeth on both its upper and lower jaws.
Some of the teeth were slightly curved, forming barbs that gleamed dazzlingly in the sunlight.
Once it bites you, even if you manage to break free, a large amount of flesh will be torn off.
At that moment, Itachi made his move.
He fired a kunai with a metal wire attached, which passed precisely through the puppet gecko's mouth and flew to its right side.
The puppet gecko lunged forward to bite, but a kunai got stuck in its right mouth, and a metal wire, like a horse's bridle, held it back.
On the other side of the metal wire, a weasel was entangled in a protruding rock.
The puppet gecko was very strong; it snapped the metal wire after being pulled for only a second or two.
At that moment, Obito also heard the movement behind him, dodged the puppet gecko's attack in time, and attached an explosive tag to his kunai, preparing to blow the puppet gecko to pieces. However, he saw new enemies appearing around him and had to stop his plan.
Four Sand Ninja appeared and surrounded Obito and Itachi.
"I thought they were some Konoha ninja, but they're just a bunch of brats."
Makino Nanahara glanced at Obito and Itachi, then at the spot where Rin was hiding.
"Ishikawa, take care of her."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Makino Nanahara's command, a Sand Ninja leaped to Rin's position, using his right hand to block the shuriken Rin shot out with his kunai, and then thrust it at Rin.
Lin quickly used her kunai to defend herself, but she felt that her opponent was very strong. She could hardly stand up and swayed involuntarily.
The Sand Ninja seized the opportunity, kicking out with her left foot with great force, striking Rin in the abdomen and sending her flying.
In mid-air, Lin endured the pain and suddenly pulled with her left hand, tugging at a metal wire.
The metal wire stretched along the ground, eventually sinking into the spot where the Sand Ninja was standing, detonating the explosive tags buried underground.
Boom!
