Chapter 303 Calm down

Iwagakure

Tsuchikage Building

Deidara, who was immersed in the plot, said angrily: "Damn it! These Iwagakure are so despicable! They actually kidnapped Lin!"

Oonoki's face darkened and he slapped him on the back of the head.

Obito asked: [What did you say? Do you know what you just said? ]

[I know...] Kakashi raised his eyes and said expressionlessly: [The two of us will continue the mission like this.]

Obito asked anxiously: [What about Lin... What should Lin do? ]

[We will save Lin later. The enemy wants to know our plan, so they won't kill her right away. And, luckily, Lin is a medical ninja. Even if she becomes a prisoner, she will be treated with courtesy, and the condition is to treat the enemy's wounded.]

[Compared to this, the problem is that the enemy will know our battle plan. If the plan is leaked, they should immediately strengthen the security of the bridge. In this case, the mission will become difficult. ]

Obito gritted his teeth.

Even so, how could he feel at ease knowing that Kelin was in the hands of the enemy?

[You said that Lin would be fine, but that was all just imagination, right? What if they are minions who can't think? Now, saving Lin is the priority over the mission! ]

Kakashi was silent for a moment, then said, "As a ninja, you have to complete the mission even if you have to sacrifice your companions. This is the rule. If this mission fails, the war will be prolonged, and there may be more casualties."

Obito loudly retorted: [This is just speculation! Can you easily abandon your life-long friends for something like this? When you and I were injured, Lin always used her medical ninjutsu to save our lives. Without her, you and I would have died long ago! ]

【This is Lin's mission.】

Hearing this, Obito punched Kakashi hard in the face, knocking Kakashi away.

[I really hate you! ]

Listening to Obito's angry voice, Kakashi sat up and said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you hate me or not, I am the captain and you must follow my instructions. No matter what the situation is, in order to prevent the team from falling apart, one person must make the decision, so the members must follow the captain's instructions. This is the rule. Obito, you have no ability, so I am the captain. 】

The Kingdom of Thunder

Yunyin Village

The Fourth Raikage slowly said, "Kakashi is right. If it is a mission that determines the outcome of the war, let alone a ninja from the village, even if it is a Kage, he should continue to carry out the mission."

Having said that, he sighed again.

"It's just that because of that madman Uchiha Obito, Rin is too special. Her life is more important than Kage's."

Pure Land

Hashirama looked in pain.

What kind of reverse-column multiple-choice question is this?

Your companions and the missions that can decide the outcome of the war.

If it were him, he wouldn't know how to choose.

Under normal circumstances, in order to decide the outcome of a war, it is unknown how many ninjas will have to sacrifice their lives. It is no exaggeration to say that the lives of the village ninjas will be sacrificed, and there is a high possibility of failure.

But for the mission, he gave up his teammates...

Ninja World

"I understand how Obito feels at the moment, but this mission is indeed more important than the life of a ninja."

"It's just because of Lin. If it was Obito who was captured now, I believe he would not want his teammates to interrupt the mission, because the failure of the mission means that this war will be more difficult for Konoha, and more companions will die."

"Like Minato said, which is more important, companions or missions? We need to adapt to the actual situation. This time, the mission is obviously more important. But...because of the White Fang incident, Kakashi has become a little too strict in following the rules."

Obito grabbed Kakashi by the collar: [Then why don't you save Rin? You have the ability to save your companions! ]

[If you let your emotions control you and fail an important mission, you will regret it later. That's why ninjas have a rule to erase emotions. You should understand that.]

Obito closed his eyes: [Rin...Rin was worried about your safety, so she gave you a medical kit as a gift, and sewed a talisman inside! ]

Kakashi was unmoved.

[Medical kits and medical ninjutsu are designed to increase the success rate. Konoha Village's plan is an excellent system. But, didn't I tell you yesterday? Extra things are just a burden.]

Obito looked incredulous: [Extra stuff?]

[What ninjas need are tools that can be used in their missions. Emotions are superfluous.]

Hearing this, Obito trembled all over.

He frowned and asked, "Are you serious? Do you really think so?"

Kakashi looked away.

The image of Hatake Sakumo appeared in my mind.

Then he looked into Obito's eyes again.

【yes……】

Hearing this reply, Obito gently loosened Kakashi's collar.

It seemed like he was completely disappointed with Kakashi.

[That's enough. You and I are incompatible. I'm going to save Lin! ]

[You don't understand anything. What will happen to those who break the rules...]

Obito stopped when he heard Kakashi's words.

【I really think White Fang is a hero. 】

Kakashi was startled.

[Indeed. In the world of ninja, people who break the rules and regulations are called trash. But...]

At this point, Obito turned his head to look at Kakashi: [Those who don't cherish their companions are worse than trash! ]

[They are all trash anyway, I will break the rules! If this is not the right way to be a ninja, then I will defeat ninjas.]

Ninja World

“That’s such a cool sentence!”

"What's even cooler is that he will have the ability to do it in the future!"

"Originally, I had no sympathy for the Fourth Generation and his wife, nor did I feel anything for Uchiha Obito and what he did, but at this moment, I really think he is very handsome!"

"I got goosebumps."

"Qi. He is just a guy who is more emotional than rational and does things without considering the consequences. He does not understand the importance of a mission like destroying the enemy's supply routes! The Konoha high-ranking officials who gave such an important mission to such a person are also idiots!"

"Kakashi should have been the only one to carry out this mission. He's still young and it's easier for him to succeed. But he had to bring two burdens along, one of whom would go crazy and want to overthrow the world without the other."

"There's nothing we can do. In Obito's eyes, Rin is greater than any rules. If anything happens to Rin, he might destroy the rules."

"Obito and Kakashi are both right. It's this unpeaceful ninja world that is wrong! It's those militarists and careerists in the five major countries who are always trying to start a war that are wrong!"

The two parted ways.

Screen turn

Obito came to a tree not far from the outside of the cave.

He seemed to be able to hear his own nervous heartbeat.

'found it. ’

Obito slapped his face hard, making a series of "pa pa" sounds.

'Calm down, I can do this.'

But what he didn't expect was that the sound of him slapping his face was so loud that it alarmed the two Iwagakure in the cave.

Inside the cave

The Iwa Ninja who could turn invisible said: [I will deal with him.]

Another Iwagakure said: [You should use illusion to get the information quickly.]
