Chapter 68 The furthest distance
Chapter 68 The Farthest Distance
Shortly after Obito left, Kakashi and Uchiha Nanyu came back one after another.
"I'm sorry Inaba, we didn't catch the enemy. How is the situation here?"
Of course they didn't catch him, because Hinata Inaba pointed in that direction at random, just to distract them so that Obito could show up.
If they were to chase Hei Jue, it would probably be a supernatural incident.
But as soon as he came back, Uchiha Nanachi was keenly aware that something was not right in the atmosphere.
"What's wrong with you? What happened here?"
At this moment, Nohara Rin stood five or six meters apart from Hinata Inaba like a frightened little rabbit.
Hinata Inaba's face remained normal and she responded with a smile, "It's nothing. Forget about not catching the enemy. Lin has been rescued. There is still a tailed beast in her body. Let's go back as soon as possible. This matter has to be left to Minato-senpai to resolve. .”
Nohara Lin stood aside and nodded with a red face, as if steam was coming out of her head.
Uchiha Nanayu very much doubted whether Nohara Rin didn't listen to a word of what he just said.
Her intuition told her: something must have happened here after she and Kakashi left!
"Did anyone else come here after we left? Lin, what's wrong with you?"
I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but Qi Xuanyu hit the right note as soon as he opened his mouth.
However, Hinata Inaba is an actor who can compete with the crew after all. He was not afraid at all and explained calmly: "It's just some reinforcements from Kirigakure. Don't worry, everything has been resolved."
By the way, he also gave Lin a look.
Nohara Lin immediately woke up from a dream and nodded: "Yes, that's it. I just feel a little uncomfortable because of the illusion. It's okay."
I've obviously solved your illusion before I left! You were not like that at all! Uchiha Qixuanyu complained crazily in his heart.
But he just couldn't catch these two people.
Working together to keep Uchiha Obito's secret is the agreement that Nohara Rin and Hinata Inaba made not long ago.
This is actually the main reason why Obito was frustrated when he left——
If Hinata Inaba just forcibly kissed Nohara Rin, he would be angry, crazy, and wish to tear Hinata Inaba apart, but he would not lose his soul immediately.
What really made him miserable was that after Nohara Rin came to her senses, not only was she not angry, but she blushed and agreed to all Hinata Inaba's subsequent requests.
Even though it was just an ordinary agreement to keep secrets together and protect oneself, Uchiha Obito still felt pain at that moment!It hurts so much!
Only then did he finally understand: The most heart-wrenching distance in this world is not the distance of thousands of miles, the eternal separation of life and death, but the fact that I am clearly in front of you, but your eyes are always firmly attached to someone else.
It's obviously a movie about three people, but I still don't have a name...
At that moment, Uchiha Obito just wanted to disappear into this space forever, as if he had never been here.
So like the original work, he awakened the kaleidoscope ability that also originated from escaping and rejecting reality: the divine space.
So Black Zetsu's later guess was correct: Uchiha Obito's loss of soul was indeed not an act.
It would be too difficult to expect Obito, who is only twelve years old, to deceive a thousand-year-old demon and a century-old director with his acting skills.
So it’s all from the heart!
Later, in the underground cave of Kannabi Bridge, the worried Black Zetsu hid in the dark and stared at Uchiha Obito for three full days, but he could never find a trace of artificiality.
Three days later, Uchiha Madara asked: "Black Zetsu, that brat has been depressed underground for three days?"
"Yes."
<divclass="contentadv">"Did he show any flaws?"
"No, his kaleidoscope power is stronger."
"..."
At this moment, even Uchiha Madara, who had been the clan leader for many years, couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I really don't understand Uchiha...
But no matter what, Obito is finally willing to inherit his mantle and has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan as scheduled. This is always a good thing...
……Bar?
The perspective returned to the Kirigakure battlefield, after which Hinata Inaba quickly used other news to distract her teammates.
"Okay, let's not talk about anything else. The main purpose of our trip is to rescue Lin. Now that this goal has been achieved, let's forget about the escaped enemies for now. Bringing Lin back to the camp safely first is the top priority! "
Now in this team, Kakashi's position as captain has long existed in name only, and Hinata Inaba's command is usually the final decision.
After he said this, Kakashi and Uchiha Nanabao could only temporarily put aside their doubts and focus on the task at hand.
"Let's go. I'm afraid the journey back is not short. We are already close to the sea. Please brace yourself. The journey ahead may not be easy."
Hinata Inaba clapped her hands, both to encourage her teammates and to change the subject.
Then the four of them briefly recovered the ninja tools scattered on the battlefield and set off.
This time there is no need to deliberately hide the traces, so even the steps of cleaning the battlefield, destroying corpses and eliminating traces can be omitted.
Hinata Inaba used the stars to identify the direction and led everyone towards the direction of the Konoha camp.
The other three followed closely, but in fact they had different thoughts.
Hinata Inaba's change of topic only unified the actions of her teammates on the surface, but deep down in their hearts, everyone's thoughts were not so easily dismissed.
Along the way, Lin kept secretly glancing at Hinata Inaba out of the corner of her eye. She thought she was being careful, but in fact, except for herself, all the other three people in the team noticed.
Uchiha Qixuanyu grinded his teeth in anger; Kakashi's dead fish eyes were hanging down and becoming more and more lifeless.
As for Hinata Inaba, his disguise was flawless throughout the whole process, without any abnormalities.
Of course he knew that Nohara Lin had some affection for him.
He also knew that the good feeling before that kiss was actually far from the level of attachment. At most, it could be regarded as a little admiration.
It's just a pity that a philosopher once said: Envision is often the farthest distance from understanding.
Just like Nohara Lin now, she actually knows nothing about him!
The rest of the journey can be said to have been smooth sailing.
Returning from the sea to the Konoha camp, the straight-line distance alone was more than a hundred kilometers. On such a long journey, it was inevitable to encounter scattered Kirigakure ninjas.
But now that there is no intervention from the crew, Kirigakure is also facing the fierce attack of Namikaze Minato, and there are only a few Kirigakure ninjas who can really stop Hinata Inaba and the others from returning.
They spent a day and finally returned to the Konoha camp on the second night, dusty and dusty.
At this time, the news of the victory on the frontal battlefield had just come back, and Namikaze Minato's reputation once again climbed to a new height!
At this time, Minato was still fighting on the front lines and had not yet returned.
But when Inaba and the others came back that day to report the battle situation and harvest of the trip, a Nara clan ninja who was like an aide under the Minato account frowned in embarrassment.
"Hey, you actually brought Kirigakure's three tails back. This is not easy to handle."
