Chapter 992 Who?

point!" Kakashi suddenly appeared between the two and stopped the fight that was about to break out. "Kakashi, don't worry about it, I must teach this guy a lesson today!" Obito roared angrily. "Obito, we have more important tasks now. This is not the time to waste time here." Kakashi looked at Obito seriously. Shrugging, "In that case, I'll let you go this time." Obito turned around angrily. At this moment, a thick fog suddenly filled the surroundings, and a gloomy voice came from the fog: "Little ghosts, you disturbed my rest." The three immediately became alert and formed a defensive formation with their backs against each other. "This chakra is very evil, everyone be careful." Kakashi whispered. Liuli clenched the sword in his hand, "No matter what it is, if you dare to come to trouble, you must be prepared to be defeated. "Obito also calmed down, his eyes fixed on the movements in the thick fog. An unknown battle was about to begin. The fog became thicker and thicker, and it was almost pitch dark. Suddenly, a black tentacle stretched out from the fog and stabbed straight at Kakashi. Kakashi quickly dodged sideways and pulled out a kunai to fight back. Obito formed seals with his hands and shouted: "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!" A huge fireball shot towards the tentacle, but the flame was instantly extinguished when it touched the tentacle.

"This guy is not easy to deal with." With a frown, she rushed forward quickly and swung the sword in her hand to cut the tentacle. When the blade touched the tentacle, a spark flew, but only a shallow mark was left on the tentacle.

At this time, the eerie voice sounded again: "Little ninja, your attack is meaningless." As the voice fell, more tentacles stretched out from all directions. The three kept dodging the attacks, but the space was getting smaller and smaller. Kakashi suddenly had an idea. He used the Raikiri to concentrate his strength to cut off a tentacle. While the monster was shrinking in pain, he shouted: "Quick, rush out over there!" The three cooperated with each other and broke through in one direction with all their strength. Finally, they broke out of the thick fog, and the mysterious enemy behind them temporarily stopped chasing. The three just breathed a sigh of relief, but found themselves in an unfamiliar forest. "Where is this? I was so busy running that I didn't pay attention to the direction." Obito said in annoyance. Looking around, trying to find some clues. Kakashi calmly analyzed the situation, "That monster doesn't seem to want to let us go easily. This forest may have traps set by it."

Suddenly, the ground shook, and a huge spider-like creature emerged from the ground. "Another monster!" Obito's eyes widened. He took a deep breath, "It seems that we can only fight to the end." Kakashi's eyes were firm, "This time we will attack its weakness together." The three nodded in tacit understanding and began to use their strongest ninjutsu. Using the family's secret sword technique, Obito's fire escape combined with Kakashi's lightning escape, and the powerful attack hit the spider. The spider screamed in pain and fought back frantically. But the three did not retreat. After a hard fight, they finally found the spider's weak point and gave it a fatal blow. After dealing with the spider, they unexpectedly found a path in the woods leading to the direction of the Oshima River. So, they straightened up and continued along the path, ready to meet the next challenge. Not long after walking along the path, they heard the sound of gurgling water, and a dilapidated wooden bridge appeared in front of them, spanning the Oshima River. Just as they were about to cross the bridge, the river water under the bridge suddenly surged and turned into water puppets rushing towards them. Kakashi took the lead and paralyzed some of the water puppets with Lightning Style, and Obito immediately evaporated some of them with Fire Style. He flexibly shuttled among them and used his sword to disperse the approaching water puppets.

However, the water puppets continued to appear. At this time, Zi appeared from nowhere, quickly formed seals with his hands, and muttered something. A ray of light enveloped everyone. Once the water puppets approached, they turned into water vapor and dissipated. "Zi, why are you here?" Obito asked in surprise. "I came here because I sensed that you were in danger." Zi smiled.

After crossing the river, they entered a mysterious valley. The valley was filled with strange fragrance, and the flowers and plants around were gleaming. Suddenly, a white-haired old man walked out of the flowers and spoke slowly: "You can come here, which shows that you have a certain strength, but the road ahead is even more dangerous. Do you still want to continue?" Kakashi answered without hesitation: "Of course, we will not retreat." So the old man nodded and made way, and they walked towards the depths of the valley with firm faith. After entering the depths of the valley, the light gradually dimmed. They moved forward carefully, and from time to time they stepped on loose stones, making a slight sound. Suddenly, a melodious flute sound came, and the sound seemed to have magic, making people's consciousness gradually become blurred. Kakashi was the first to be alert. He bit the tip of his tongue hard, and the pain made him sober up, and he quickly reminded others.

Obito followed Kakashi's example and cast a soundproof barrier. But the sound of the flute bypassed the barrier and entered their ears, so they had to cover their ears and speed up their pace. Turning a corner, they saw a man in a black robe playing the flute, surrounded by glowing poisonous insects.

Kakashi threw a few kunai, disrupting the rhythm of the black-robed man. Obito took the opportunity to use a powerful wind escape technique, blowing away many poisonous insects. He jumped up and swung his sword to slash at the black-robed man, while Zi assisted him and strengthened everyone's strength. The black-robed man was defeated and turned and disappeared into the darkness.

The group continued forward and found a huge stone door. The door was engraved with ancient runes, faintly emitting energy fluctuations. Kakashi walked forward to study the runes, trying to find a way to open the stone door, while the others stood guard vigilantly around, waiting for the next move. Kakashi carefully observed the runes, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had found the key. He took out a piece of talisman paper from his bag and stuck it on a rune on the door. With a flash of light, the stone door slowly opened. A strong airflow came from inside, and everyone hurried to stabilize their bodies.

What came into view was a huge circular platform, with a crystal ball emitting colorful light suspended in the center of the platform. As they approached, many phantom-like ninjas appeared around them, attacking them with weapons in hand.

They fought back, using their swordsmanship to deal with multiple phantoms like flowing water. Obito's ninjutsu became more powerful, and he could destroy several phantoms at once. Kakashi and Koko worked together to use lightning and wind jutsu to contain a large number of phantoms.

As the battle continued, they slowly discovered that these phantoms would imitate the moves of the enemies they had encountered before. They adjusted their tactics, recalling the techniques they had used to fight the spider monsters before, and attacked the joints of the phantoms. Obito combined the fire escape technique with his previous experience with the Great Fireball Technique to increase the firepower; Kakashi and Nanako also cleverly combined various ninjutsu. In the end, they successfully defeated all the phantoms and walked towards the mysterious crystal ball.
