Upon hearing this, both Jiraiya and Kakashi showed expressions of extreme shock.

[Ding! Jiraiya's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +400!!]

[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!!]

Has Itachi Uchiha been exposed?

They even sent Nagato to Konoha?

"What kind of development is this?"

Jiraiya muttered to himself, momentarily at a loss for words.

Jiraiya carefully observed Nagato's expression.

Nagato remained calm, showing no displeasure whatsoever, as if he didn't care at all that there was a mole in the organization.

Neither he nor Konan said anything more. Seeing that the cooperation had been finalized, Nagato nodded expressionlessly: "Jiraiya-sensei, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

Afterwards, the two each found a seat and sat down.

Nagato looked at Yahiko in the dream scene, and his expression gradually softened.

Chapter 214 Obito: Who says unleashing Kamui isn't Kamui?

In the footage, a group of people are seen hurrying through the forest.

Minato Namikaze led the way, followed closely by Obito and Rin.

Rin lightly stepped forward on the branches, her profile serene and focused, causing Obito's gaze to linger on her for a long time.

Whenever he realized he had lost focus, Obito would quickly look away, but his heart would still pound uncontrollably.

Following closely behind Obito and Rin was Yahiko, with Nagato and Konan flanking him on either side.

All three wore headbands with the Konoha symbol on their foreheads.

Their expressions were much calmer than when they first arrived in Konoha. Clearly, after the baptism of the last mission, the team's tacit understanding and confidence had improved.

At the back of the group, Kakashi remained on alert, covering the rear.

The only sounds in the woods were the rustling of footsteps as people passed through the branches and the occasional fluttering of birds startled into flight.

Not long ago, Minato Namikaze briefly explained the purpose of this operation to everyone.

Intelligence indicates that a small group of Iwa ninja has circled around to the border of the Land of Fire, attempting to create chaos.

Konoha dispatched a squad led by Minato Namikaze to investigate the situation and repel the enemy.

Under his leadership, the group moved quickly, approaching the target area.

"The objective of this mission is to repel these Iwa ninja who have invaded the border. The main goal is to drive them away, and we should try to avoid prolonged battles."

The sound of the water gate reached everyone's ears.

Upon hearing that the mission was related to the ninjas of Iwagakure, Obito's initial excitement subsided, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Iwagakure Village.

This name is particularly sensitive to him.

After all, in reality, Rin's first kidnapping was done by ninjas from Iwagakure.

Thinking back to those times, a shadow fell over Obito's heart.

A scene from his memory flashed through his mind.

During that mission, the real-life Kakashi initially insisted on following the rules and abandoning Rin, until he was snapped out of his daze by her scolding...

Obito secretly glanced at Kakashi at the back of the group.

At that moment, Kakashi was focused on guarding his surroundings and didn't notice Obito's unusual behavior at all.

Kakashi glanced back, puzzled, after being glared at like that, wondering what Obito was up to now.

Seeing this, Obito pursed his lips, shifted his gaze back to the front, and didn't say anything more.

At this moment, Nohara Rin quietly approached Obito during a break in their journey.

She grabbed Obito's sleeve, lowered her voice, and whispered, "Obito, where did you go last night? You came back so late..."

Obito was taken aback for a moment, then a mysterious and smug smile appeared on his lips: "Hehe, yesterday, I went to practice my ultimate technique!"

"Lin, just you wait and see! I'll unleash my full power in a moment! I guarantee you'll be in for a surprise!"

Rin widened her eyes slightly, looking Obito up and down in surprise: "Really?"

"Don't push yourself too hard... Please don't be reckless, Kakashi is here after all."

"Humph!"

Obito sensed the underlying meaning in Rin's words, and his smug expression froze.

[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +500!]

Does Lin not trust him?

Or do I trust Kakashi more?

A bitter feeling welled up in Obito's heart.

On the one hand, Lin's concern for him made him very happy, and he wished he could immediately pat his chest and assure her that nothing would happen to him.

On the other hand, Rin's subconscious belief that Kakashi's presence would ensure everything would be alright made him feel frustrated.

Obito's stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat were completely ignited.

"Rin, just you wait." Obito clenched his fist tightly, lowering his voice to speak earnestly, "This time I'll make you look at me in a completely different light!"

After he finished speaking, seeing that Lin was about to try to persuade him again, he took two steps ahead without saying another word and caught up with the pace of the group.

Rin watched Obito's slightly impatient back and couldn't help but sigh softly.

She had no choice but to quicken her pace and keep up closely with Obito.

A short while later, Minato was the first to stop, raising his hand slightly in a warning gesture: "Stop!"

The group immediately understood and scattered, hiding in the shadows of the surrounding bushes.

Obito didn't dare to be negligent either, and together with Rin, they slipped and crouched behind a thick tree branch.

Looking in the direction indicated by the water gate, wisps of smoke could be faintly seen rising from the sky not far ahead.

Against the backdrop of the tranquil forest, the wisp of grayish-white smoke stood out conspicuously.

Kakashi narrowed his eyes and whispered, "There seem to be signs of a camp ahead."

Minato nodded and lowered his voice to remind everyone, "Be careful. According to intelligence, the other side should only be a small team, but we can't let our guard down."

Obito hid among the dense foliage, peeking out to carefully observe the terrain of the valley ahead.

He saw several tents nestled in the low-lying valley, with wisps of smoke rising from them.

However, a rough count revealed that there were at least seven or eight tents there!

Obito felt a chill run down his spine: the intelligence report only mentioned a "small group" of Iwa ninja, but what he saw before him was more like a small outpost, far exceeding his expectations.

Watergate also noticed this anomaly.

He frowned slightly and pondered, "The number of people doesn't match the intelligence... Perhaps the enemy has reinforcements and has temporarily set up camp here."

From within the bushes, Yahiko lowered his voice and asked, "Minato-senpai, what do we do now?"

After a moment's thought, Minato Namikaze decisively said, "I'll dive over and scout the situation first."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the crowd and said, "You should all stay here and wait for orders. Do not make any rash moves."

The team members nodded in agreement.

Minato added, "Kakashi, you'll be in charge while I'm gone."

"Yes," Kakashi replied calmly without objection.

Hearing this, Obito, who had been lurking in the shadows, pouted somewhat resentfully and muttered under his breath, "Hmph, I can protect Rin too, protect everyone..."

Minato paused slightly upon hearing Obito's mutterings, then turned back with a helpless smile: "Obito, follow Kakashi's orders, understand?"

"Okay~ then," Obito replied in a drawn-out tone.

Minato gave him a deep look and solemnly instructed, "Absolutely do not act on your own! Be sure to wait for me to return."

Obito pursed his lips and remained silent, but he didn't take Minato Namikaze's warning seriously at all—Hmph, wait for you? You're the last person I should be waiting for!

After confirming that no one had any objections, Minato Namikaze decisively vanished from his spot in a flash.

Only a single, gently swaying leaf remains as proof that he once stood here.

After Minato left, Kakashi did as he was told and instructed everyone to disperse and hide in the surrounding bushes and tree canopies.

Time passed slowly, and occasionally a few birds would flutter up in the valley, but otherwise everything remained the same, so quiet it was almost oppressive.

Obito hid behind a clump of bushes, feeling restless and unbearable.

He slowed his breathing and forced himself to calm down, but Lin's worried expression kept replaying in his mind.

He knew Lin meant well, but the more she did so, the more resentful he felt.

"I must prove it to Rin!" Obito vowed silently in his heart.

After an unknown amount of time, a sudden change occurred!

Just as the team was lying in wait, an undisguised chakra fluctuation was rapidly approaching them.

Kakashi was the first to notice; he frowned and hissed, "Someone's coming!"

The next second, the bushes were parted with a rustling sound, revealing two Chunin clad in Iwagakure armor.

"Who are you?!"

Kakashi's expression changed drastically; his whereabouts had been exposed!

He was preparing to launch a surprise attack to cover his comrades' retreat when a figure suddenly darted out from the bushes beside him.

"The opportunity has come!" Obito roared, almost impatiently stepping forward.
