Uchiha Obito's excitement when he first arrived on the battlefield quickly disappeared.

And it was when he hadn't really experienced the battlefield.

As Kakashi went to the temporary hospital with him to see Xiaochun, he finally realized the cruelty of the war for the first time, and the many wounded people in the hospital.

Especially when he saw one of them graduated with them, but because he was in the fifth grade, he was sent to the front line a month before them.

...

"Kakashi, will we, in the future, become one of them?"

After leaving the hospital, except for being a little shy when facing the goddess Nohara Lin, she was carefree at the same time and extremely confident Obito asked Kakashi beside her in a low mood for the first time.

"Maybe."

Kakashi recalled everything he had just seen and heard, and for the first time he had no intention of urging Obito. He had a little sadness in his eyes, and he was afraid of uncertainty about the future, and said in a low voice.

"Or maybe, we may not even have the chance to lie here, and will only be the objects of the words of other people."

“…”

Obito fell into silence. For the first time, the boy realized that war was not just about credit, but about heroes, and the glorious side of the fame that followed.

There is also the more real and cruel side that will not be told by most people, but it is more real and cruel.

...

Dark clouds.

The thick clouds in the sky completely covered the moon, which should have been very bright. The earth lost the last trace of light and became completely dark.

Suddenly, a dazzling firework rose to the sky with a sharp whistling sound, and lit colorful colors in the dark sky.

It's the direction of Mount Kikyo!

The ninja who was in charge of guarding outside Kikyo Castle immediately judged the direction of the fireworks rising, and then turned around and ran towards the city.

However, the fireworks were so dazzling that even without him notifying them, the many ninjas in Kikyo City knew that the situation had changed and moved early.

"Kakashi, Lin, what happened?"

Obito, who was unable to fall asleep after hearing everything he saw after going to the hospital during the day, ran out of the room immediately after hearing the movement outside, ran into Kakashi and Nohara who had already been dressed and waited outside, and asked in confusion and panic.

"Iwaki may have made some moves from the warning signal released by Kikyo Mountain."

Kakashi, who was not only talented but also a giant Konoha, immediately spoke.

"What should we do next?"

Obito, who knew that it was not the time to argue with Kakashi, quickly asked again.

"Anyway, let's find Teacher Minato first."

Kakashi, who has been influenced by her since childhood, has a clear mind.

Since they have been assigned to the Watergate class, they will naturally follow the team when they act.

"Well, you're all awake."

However, just as the three of them were about to set out to find Mizuno, Mizuno's figure suddenly appeared beside them.

"Is this the technique of flying thunder god?"

While Obito and Nohara Lin were still surprised by the sudden appearance of Minato, Kakashi looked at his ninja bag.

There is a special kunai handed over to him by Mizuno when he parted during the day.

"If you learn this ninjutsu, you will definitely be faster than that guy's speed, right?"

Kakashi reached out to take out the kunai, feeling a little moved.

"Minimon, what happened? Did Iwaii launch the attack?"

While Kakashi was still in love with the Flying Thunder God Art, Obito finally asked the point.

“It’s not clear yet.”

The smile on Minatomizu's face was calm and she looked at the Kikyo Mountain, which had returned to darkness again with a serious expression.

"However, it is destined to be unable to sleep tonight. You three will stay here and don't run around. Follow the instructions and if there is anything, I will come to inform you."

After saying that, Mizuno's figure disappeared without a trace again.

As the most mobile ninja in the frontline camp, he must be busy tonight.

"Minimon Teacher?!"

Obito quickly looked around.

"Don't look for it anymore, Minato Teacher has left."

After Kakashi put Kumami back into the ninja bag, his originally shiny eyes turned back to the dead fish eyes.

"Have you forgotten the ninjutsu that Mr. Minato is best at?"

Of course, he did not forget to confront Obito again.

"Hmph! You don't need to remind me, I know!"

Obito snorted in dissatisfaction.

"But do we really have to stay here bored all night?"

"No matter how you look at it, doing this is the safest thing for us and teachers."

Kakashi was actually a little unwilling to give up, but reason told him that on this dark night, when the situation was unclear, they really didn't have much to do like this, who had just graduated.

If you act recklessly, you may not only put yourself in danger, but also cause trouble to their teachers and elders.

Although he was very angry, Obito had to admit that what Kakashi said was correct.

In this dark night, if they run around without permission, they will easily get lost.

‘Damn it, if I had the Blood Ringyan, it wouldn’t be like this!’

This also made him eager to open his eyes.

...

The particularly long night finally passed. Kakashi and the other two who were waiting in place were too boring and unknowingly woke up until they heard the movements around them.

Obito got up in a hurry and looked around with a panic look. Kakashi's eyes became sharp, and the special kunai that was made from Minato in his hand was tightly held. Nohara Rin looked at the wet pattern on Kakashi's shoulders, her face flushed, but there was a little nostalgia in her eyes.

This is the first time in several months that she has been so "close" with Kakashi.

"You guys are awake."

Looking at the reactions of the three of them, Minato on the side couldn't help laughing.

"Mindon Teacher?"

Following the sound, I saw Obito of Minato and then relaxed, and then I felt embarrassed to touch the back of my head.

"When did you come back with Mr. Minato?"

"Minimon, what happened last night? So what's going on now?"

Kakashi, who was standing by, was even more curious about what happened last night.

Although it should be nothing big since they slept here for the middle of the night, it seems that it is not easy to see it from Mizuno until they come back.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Minato, what's going on? Did Iwaii attack? Did you knock them back?"

Some Obito, who knew it later, nodded and asked.

"Nothing big is happening, just a rock hidden squad attacked a patrol squad, and after being discovered, I fled. Last night I was just checking for any infiltrating enemies."

"Huh, it turns out that it was just a false alarm."

Obito and Kakashi were relieved when they heard Minato’s explanation.

"Okay, you must have not had a good rest at night. I'm going to go back to rest too. If there is no task today, you can go back to make up for your sleep."

...

When Kikyo Castle returned to peace, Jiraiya was writing a letter to his teacher Sarutobi Hinazo, which was less than a hundred miles away.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m worried that the Kingdom of Rain can’t withstand the pressure, and I’m even more worried that Konoha will take the opportunity to deal with Iwaki Ninja from the Kikyo Mountain Camp. Recently, Iwaki’s army from the Kingdom of Grass has been doing a lot of action.

This is the opponent's large-scale attack that has been launched for three consecutive days regardless of casualties.

Moreover, according to the information, Iwaii seems to have reached an agreement with Yun Yin that the border ninjas, which were originally used to guard against Yun Yin, were being transferred to the Grass Kingdom for support.

Although he had done his best, facing Iwaii's continuous impact, he was indeed a little weak after a while, and he urgently needed to send a large number of ninja support.

Otherwise, even if you can withstand the impact of Yan Yin, the casualties will probably be extremely high.

When it was already in the late stage of fighting for "internal strength", it depends on who could not withstand the consumption first. Iwaii has already drawn ninjas from all over the country. It can be said that he is fighting hard, and he has to deal with it carefully.

...

When Jiraiya wrote a letter to Sarutobi Hinashou for help, his old classmate Orochimaru was also writing a letter to help.

Yan Yin was cruel, and Yun Yin was the same.
