Chapter 136 Bloody Forest (4)
Ninjas are strange creatures. This may not be accurate. It should be said that humans are very strange and selfish creatures. When their lives are threatened, they often destroy their outlook on life and values that they have built up over decades in a very short period of time. When the new inner world is stabilized, doing things that once seemed incredible will become so natural and so natural.
Although Parker is a dog, he is not an ordinary dog. He is a dog with human language ability and intelligence. In less than 24 hours, he saw with his own eyes how two half-grown children who were originally vomiting blood were transformed step by step into qualified killing tools. Like countless ninjas, Kakashi and Obito completed an amazing transformation. This transformation occurred under the threat of external forces, so they had no psychological pressure to kill again.
One Wind Country ninja was tied to a book with steel wire by Obito and burned to charcoal, while the other two Wind Country ninjas were killed by Kakashi's short sword. The lives of the three people came to an abrupt end in the Konoha Forest, like a broken thread, with a crisp but barely audible sound.
It is worth mentioning that no one would accuse Kakashi and Obito of being cruel, nor would anyone think that what they did was wrong. On the contrary, Parker praised them a few words and recognized and praised their killing actions.
This is not the tragedy of one or two people. If we have to find a reason to take the blame, we can say that this is the tragedy of the times and the tragedy of the ninja profession.
As long as the ninja world exists, as long as there are different national boundaries in this world, killing and hatred will never stop. Ninjas are just an upgraded version of samurai, and chakra is just a weapon in the hands of ninjas.
Some people have pointed out that the killings today are caused by the energy body Chakra, but this is not true. Killings are only caused by people, and Chakra is at most an accomplice of killing.
There is no need to find some high-sounding reasons to cover up the cruelty of ninjas, nor is there any need. One of the purposes of any ninja's existence is to kill, and this is the cold reality of the ninja world.
Obito calmly looked at the tree trunk several dozen meters in front of him, where the heat of the flames and a pile of charcoal-like objects were still there. Just now, the handsome Sand Ninja boy was burned to death by the flames, just because he needed the token on the other person to pass the exam. Before this, Obito didn't even know that there was such a person in the ninja world, but since they met, it was fate, and it was a life-and-death struggle. There was no option of one person doing well and the other doing well.
You see, Obito, who was so frightened by the corpse of the Rain Ninja yesterday that he could not move and sat on the ground, can kill people without batting an eyelid today. This is growth and a transformation of the soul.
Obito looked deeply at the charred body of the Sand Ninja boy, as if he wanted to engrave it all in his heart. Then a smile appeared on his face, and he jumped off the tree trunk and came to Kakashi's side.
"How was the harvest?"
Kakashi raised the three tokens in his hand and said with a delighted look: "Not bad, there are actually three tokens."
With the two tokens contributed by the Rain Ninja, the number of tokens collected by Kakashi's team has now reached an astonishing 6. They have grabbed five tokens in two battles, and it must be said that they are very lucky.
Obito was also very happy to hear this, and said with full enthusiasm: "Then let's continue to find the next team of ninjas."
Kakashi looked at the dark forest hesitantly and said, "Let's take a break and replenish our energy."
Puck jumped onto Kakashi's head and raised a paw in agreement, "Right. It would be safer to take a break. The next enemies are probably going to be tough guys."
The two of them were startled and their faces became serious. Parker was right. After a night of cat and mouse games, there were basically only a few teams left from the small ninja villages. The enemies still active in the forest were the elite among the elites. If they were not careful, they would probably die on the spot.
No one would joke about their own life. Although the rewards for the top three are very tempting, even a fool knows how to make a choice when it comes to their life.
Just as the two men and the dog were about to leave, Parker suddenly twitched his nose a few times and said in a deep voice, "Someone is coming!"

In just a few flashes, three figures arrived on the tree trunk above Kakashi and Obito, and locked onto them with murderous intent from above. Judging from the forehead protectors on their bodies, they were indeed Sand Ninjas from another team.
One of the Sand Ninjas flashed in front of the pile of charcoal, looked at it carefully and shook his head. Anger instantly spread among the Sand Ninja team.
"It was you who killed Yusuke and the others?" asked the leading Sand Ninja coldly.
Kakashi didn't say anything, but drew the short knife behind him and stood on guard. It didn't matter who killed the person now, what mattered was who would be killed next.
"Formation B!"
"Yes!"
The three Sand Ninjas stopped talking nonsense. There was nothing much to say when two teams of ninjas from different camps met. It was just a fight to the death.
"Bang bang bang!"
Three clouds of smoke exploded, and from within the thick smoke came the teeth-grinding sounds of mechanical puppets. This team of Sand Ninjas actually had two puppeteers!
Puppet masters are a branch of ninjas and have always been regarded as the elite among the elites by the Sand Village. One of their representatives is Chiyo, who once made the Konoha ninjas tremble in fear by single-handedly fighting.
Click it
A humanoid puppet rushed out from the smoke. While still in mid-air, its arm folded upwards, revealing a black hole. A smoke bomb flew out and landed accurately at the feet of Kakashi and Obito and then exploded.
It is well known in the ninja world that puppet masters are good at using poison. Kakashi and Obito hurriedly held their breath and exerted force on their feet to jump up. Two figures broke through the air. Because they went too fast, the smoke behind them followed their figures, suddenly leaving a trail of dust that lingered for a long time.
The three Sand Ninjas naturally would not miss the flaw created by the smoke bomb. The three puppets immediately shot out countless hidden weapons with the sound of clicking mechanisms, and almost instantly arrived in front of Kakashi and Obito.
"Obito!"
Kakashi roared, and in the air, he bent his legs violently to gather strength, and then kicked out fiercely. With the tacit cooperation of the two, their four legs collided together, and a new force was generated, causing the two to fly in two opposite directions, narrowly avoiding the overwhelming hidden weapons.
Kakashi calmly adjusted his body in the air, landing on a thick tree trunk with his feet facing upwards and his head facing downwards. The chakra under the soles of his feet suddenly exploded, ejecting his body like a cannonball, and rushed towards the Sand Ninja at lightning speed.
The puppeteer is very powerful, but he also has obvious weaknesses. As long as they fight in close combat, there is nothing to be afraid of!
The two puppeteers had gloomy expressions on their faces. They obviously had not expected the enemy's cooperation to be so tacit. However, it was definitely too late to pull back the puppets for defense. They could only hope that their companions could delay for a moment.
The remaining Sand Ninja was covered in muscles and was obviously a pure physical ninja. When he saw Kakashi rushing into the team alone, he shouted angrily, drew out the ninja sword behind him and rushed forward.
Right under the puppeteer's nose, the two of them slashed at each other dozens of times with their ninja swords. Neither of them could do anything to the other in a short period of time. But not only did the Sand Ninja have trustworthy companions, Kakashi did too.
Several shurikens shot out from the shadows and accurately hit the joints of the three puppets, making their movements stiff. Then a fire dragon roared and smashed towards the puppets.
"Fire Release·Dragon Fire Technique!"
The two puppeteers' faces turned pale, their fingers dancing, trying to pull the puppets out before the fire dragon arrived. However, the puppets, which they used to be able to control easily, were stuck in the joints by the shuriken and could not move easily, and they were still hit in front of their wide eyes.
Obito rushed out from the darkness, without even looking at the three puppets that were hit, and ran straight towards the two puppet masters.
swish swish
Three shurikens with steel wires were shot out, made a big turn and tied the two puppeteers to the tree trunk, making them unable to move. Obito bit the end of the steel wire with his mouth, put his hands in front of his chest and quickly formed hand seals.
The two puppet masters naturally would not sit there and wait for death. Even though their bodies could not move, their fingers could move freely. They quickly waved their ten fingers and pulled the puppets out of the flames. Several hidden weapons were shot at Obito who was casting the spell.
The puppeteer's idea was simple. As long as they interrupted the spell cast by that damn Konoha ninja, they would naturally be able to use some means to break free from the restraints of the steel wire. Then they would distance themselves and continue fighting. The outcome was still uncertain.
Obito didn't even look at the hidden weapons, his hands were still making seals quickly. He had full trust in his companion Kakashi and knew that he would not allow himself to get hurt.
Sure enough, several shurikens shot out and knocked down the puppet's hidden weapons. The two puppeteers then discovered that their companions were actually dead and defeated, and Kakashi was surrounded by lightning and looked at them with a dead look.
"No!"
The flames rushed along the steel wires towards the two puppeteers, burning them into two pieces of charcoal in front of their horrified gazes, following the fate of their previous companions.
Unfortunately, the two puppeteers died tragically in Obito's Fire Release before they could even display half of their superb puppetry skills, and even their names turned to dust.
It was also because these two puppet masters were unlucky as they encountered Kakashi and Obito. You have to know that both of their ninjutsu and taijutsu are close-range and they both focus on resolving battles quickly. They are definitely the nemesis of puppet masters.
Especially for Obito, the so-called puppetry was just a funny trick in front of the Uchiha clan. Whether it was the shuriken throwing technique that was unique in the ninja world or the Sharingan with super insight, they could defeat the puppeteer.
Obito was breathing heavily, and after hesitating for a while, he took out a pill and swallowed it. Feeling the chakra and physical strength gradually filling up his body, his complexion looked much better.
Hyoryangwan is very bad for the ninja's body. After all, it is a stimulating drug that can stimulate cells to burst into vitality in a short period of time to restore the ninja's condition. It is useful, but it will have sequelae.
But right now, Obito had no time to care about whether there were any sequelae. He was extremely weak and had very little chakra left. Any ninja from the enemy country could take his life. The most important thing was to quickly recover his strength.
Kakashi's condition was not much better than Obito's. After swallowing a soldier's pill to recover, he simply cleaned up the battlefield and left this place of trouble with Obito.
The so-called "first time is unfamiliar, second time is familiar" is so simple that even an extremely difficult action like killing can be mastered.
In less than twenty-four hours, nine lives had been lost in the hands of the two of them. Of course, looking at the entire forest, the number of lives lost was even greater, almost exponentially, until the end of the exam.
