Hikaru Hokage

Chapter 38 I hate it when someone stabs me in the back.

"Hino, thank you for saving me just now."

Kakashi silently gathered the last of his chakra in his hands.

The lightning flashed, and he silently objected to Hino Hikaru's proposal to abandon Obito by activating ninjutsu.

"You actually still have the chakra to use Chidori?"

Hino Hikaru was a little surprised.

He still underestimated Kakashi's blue energy during this period.

"Well, just barely."

Kakashi forced himself to stand up from his half-crouched position.

The Chidori in his hand became more and more solid, but the weakness he showed now was even more serious than before.

Hino Hikaru was a little doubtful that Kakashi would suddenly collapse while attacking the enemy.

"The Iwa Ninja's chakra feels quite dangerous, especially the murderous aura in him. People with weak willpower may be unable to move due to fear just by looking at him."

Hino Hikaru saw Kakashi's will to die.

"I also know that I can't deal with him, but the mission has failed. As the captain, I must bear the greatest responsibility."

"Ninja Rule No. 13: Even if the mission fails, as a ninja, you cannot die in vain."

"I don't care about the rules anymore."

"..."

Sure enough, has Kakashi now been changed by Obito?

"The mission failed. I knew I was going to die, but I still insisted on rescuing my companions. I will probably become an even more useless ninja than my father after my death."

Looking at Obito lying on the ground not far away, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, Kakashi really couldn't turn around and run away.

It was Obito who told him that his companions were more important than the mission, and it was Obito who recognized his father as a hero from the bottom of his heart.

"No one in the village said your father was a waste..."

After White Fang died, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately came out to pretend to be a good person and blocked the news, only saying that White Fang died for the village.

Therefore, except for a group of insiders back then, everyone else thought White Fang was a hero who died on the battlefield.

"That's the case on the surface, but secretly...Hino, you should also know very well what it feels like to be slandered by people in the village."

Especially after my father committed suicide, the faces of those people...

Kakashi will never forget the darkness he came into contact with that day.

"..."

Hino Hikaru remembered that Kakashi went out of his way to inform him to take the Chuunin exam.

It turns out that Kakashi paid more attention to me because he felt that I was similar to his father, White Fang, who was being slandered by rumors.

"No matter what, you are just going to die like this, and you can't save anyone at all. Besides, speaking of it, I still owe you a story, so you might as well live a little longer."

Taking out a kunai from his ninja tool bag, Hino Hikaru raised his hand to stop Kakashi from rushing towards Iwa Ninja alone.

Because they were afraid of the Chidori in Kakashi's hand, and because "Loess" didn't issue an attack order, the surrounding Iwa ninjas were not in a hurry to attack them.

"You should have left here with Lin as soon as possible."

story?

Kakashi is not in the mood or time to listen to any stories right now.

He didn't let go of the Chidori in his hand either.

Because he didn't want to drag Hino Hikari into dying in vain with him.

"Don't worry, even if the enemy is a ninja who is more powerful than an elite jounin, if I want to leave, no one here can leave me."

[Teleport to LV1 → LV2]

In the past few days of high-intensity fighting, the teleportation ability he awakened in Tsunade finally leveled up due to his skillful use.

Coupled with the invisibility ability and semi-awakened gravity control, unless the enemy is an unreasonable ninja like Uchiha Madara, he can retreat at any time.

With these abilities, the most he could do would be that all his companions on this mission would die again, and he would just return to the village alone.

-

"Oh? Aren't you going to run away?"

Looking at the two Konoha ninjas who had regained their fighting postures, "Loess" was a little surprised.

"Let me see what you, the new kid in Konoha, are capable of. Go catch them!"

"Yes!"

Following "Loess"'s order, the rock ninjas surrounding the two people on the tree began to attack.

Earth Escape · Rock Stealing Stick!

The hard and sharp rock sticks used by more than a dozen Iwa ninjas were like a dense rain of shurikens shot at Hino Hikaru and Kakashi who were still standing on the top of the tree.

"Too many, and I can't use Earth Release in the trees."

Looking at the flying sharp rock sticks, Kakashi could only barely block the Chidori on his hand in front of him, hoping to at least reduce some fatal injuries.

"Relax, I'll take you to Obito."

But Hino Hikaru didn't care about these flying stone sticks at all. He grabbed Kakashi's shoulder again, and then teleported to the dying Obito's side.

He didn't really want to convince Kakashi to abandon Obito when he waited in the tree for so long, he was just waiting for all the Iwa ninjas to surround him.

In this way, he could use his teleportation to break through directly to Obito.

"So fast……"

Before Kakashi knew what was happening, he noticed that the surrounding scenery had changed from green branches to yellow land.

And the Obito he wanted to save was now right in front of him.

This guy Hino is indeed more powerful than he thought.

"What a special teleportation technique... no, is it a physical technique?"

"Loess", that is, Madara Uchiha carefully observed the movement of the Konoha ninja just now, but unexpectedly found that the other party did not seem to use chakra.

It was as if he had avoided the ninjutsu of those rock ninjas with his physical speed alone.

"Kakashi, I'll hold him back, and you send Obito to Lin for treatment..."

Hino Hikaru quickly told Kakashi the location of Nohara Rin in his ear, and then threw the kunai in his hand towards the "loess" in front of him.

"You're so naive. You want to use a trick like throwing kunai to deal with me?"

Let the adults teach you little brats a lesson.

Earth Escape Earthquake Core!

Uchiha Madara clasped his hands together and formed several seals quickly, and the huge chakra poured out like a tide, causing the entire surface in front of him to change as if it had changed forever.

Rumble!

Four thick earth walls rose up from the flat land in front of them for no reason, blocking out the sky and the sun, trapping Hino Hikaru and others inside.

"How about it? Do you still have the determination to fight me?"

Standing on the high earth wall, the condescending Uchiha Madara was looking at the Konoha imps who were as big as mice in this earth escape prison with a playful expression.

"Does this person still have so much chakra?"

Looking at the surrounding walls, Hino Hikaru was like a frog sitting in a well looking at the sky. Only by raising his head could he see the blue sky above this "huge prison".

And the "yellow soil" standing on the top earth wall.

Hino Hikaru didn't expect that the other party could actually use such a wide range of Shantu Jutsu and have the chakra to use this level of Ninjutsu.

So is there really someone who is Chatanla?

"Hino..."

While Kakashi supported Obito who was lying on the ground, he looked desperately at the surrounding earth walls like cliffs.

"I'm sorry for causing you to fall into the enemy's trap."

"It's okay, the enemy is too strong. Even if I don't bring you here, I'm afraid you will still fall into the range of his ninjutsu."

Looking at the "Loess" standing on the earth wall, Hino Hikaru visually measured the distance between the two while preparing to activate his ability.

As long as you can control the gravity of the earth's center to make your body as light as a swallow, and cooperate with the teleportation ability that has been upgraded to LV2, this kind of distance...

“And it’s far from time to give up the struggle.”

After Hino Hikaru's many attempts, his semi-awakened gravity manipulation ability finally responded.

I feel...the gravity on my body is disappearing.

Perhaps letting one's body break through the limitations of gravity and fly is the correct way to use this ability now?

Whoosh!

While feeling his body as light as a swallow, Hino Hikaru disappeared from the place like an arrow from a string.

"Disappeared? It seems that this kid does have a ninjutsu that can hide his body, but in this kind of predicament, what effect can a little trick like invisibility do?"

The kid is still a kid after all, I will let you feel the despair of despair.

Putting his hands together, Uchiha Madara, standing on the earth wall, began to form seals again.

Earth Escape·Rock——

"Ok?"

Just when Uchiha Madara was about to use the ninjutsu that caused the rock to collapse to bury Hino Hikari and others below, he suddenly and slightly unexpectedly sensed a murderous aura coming from behind him.

Chapter 39 A Girl's Determination

"Hino, Kakashi, Obito..."

Nohara Rin was hiding alone in the dense forest. When she saw Hino Hikari rescued Kakashi and planned to continue to rescue Obito, she was full of hope.

However, he didn't expect that the next second, the enemy would release ninjutsu that ordinary people could not match.

Hino Hikaru and the other three people instantly disappeared from her field of vision.

The enemy's level of power has exceeded her understanding of the term ninja.

Boundless despair began to sweep into her mind like boundless darkness.

She didn't dare to think about whether Hino Hikaru, Kakashi and others were still alive. Reason was telling her that she should escape as soon as possible, but fear kept her unable to move.

At this moment, Nohara Lin suddenly remembered Hino Hikaru's expression when he mentioned a certain mission.

"It turns out...this is...the despair and pain that Hino-san has felt."

Hiding aside helplessly, watching his companions die one after another, and finally had to escape alone...

Sure enough, it takes courage to survive at this time, and dying with your companions is actually a kind of relief.

Nohara Lin couldn't take the steps to escape.

She thought of a lot at this moment.

Obito, who talks all day about wanting to end the war and become Hokage;

Kakashi, who always talks about rules and hopes to surpass his father;

Minato-sensei, who was dating Kushina's sister every time because of the mission;

And... even though we haven't been together for long, Hino-san has accidentally had many "accidents" with him, and has already occupied a place in his heart...

"I'm sorry, Hino-san, I don't have the courage to escape alone..."

Thinking of this, Nohara Lin took out the kunai as if she was dead.
