Witnessing Hakuto Ju punch him into the ground to save him, the enraged Obito immediately activated his two-tomoe Sharingan.
Filled with uncontrollable fury, Obito locked onto Hakuto Ju, who had fallen to the ground, with his Sharingan and quickly formed hand seals.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"
Obito exhaled flames from his mouth that resembled phoenix flower seeds, assailing Hakuto Ju from all directions.
However, Hakuto Ju easily dodged the flames by jumping from side to side.
Just as Hakuto Ju was about to charge at Obito, intending to finish him off, several Kunai with explosive tags attached flew towards Hakuto Ju's back.
Although Hakuto Ju was not hit by the Kunai, he did not expect them to have explosive tags, and the shockwave from the explosion sent Hakuto Ju flying.
These Kunai with explosive tags were thrown by Kakashi.
What happened with Shirou and Obito was too sudden, and Kakashi also had to face two Stone ninja, so he couldn't provide immediate support.
Now, he could only take a moment to throw a few Kunai with explosive tags to provide some assistance.
After Hakuto Ju was sent flying by the explosion's shockwave, two Stone Chunin attacked Obito from both sides.
Obito's body, and even his head, didn't move an inch; he merely glanced left and right with his eyes, then took a step back.
The two Stone Chunin, who were flanking Obito, didn't expect Obito to react so quickly and suddenly step back just as they were about to attack him.
Both of them simultaneously pulled back their attacks, because if they didn't, they would have hit each other.
And Obito seized this opportunity.
Now, the movements of these two Stone Chunin seemed to slow down in Obito's eyes, clearly visible.
Obito pulled out a Kunai with a backhand and directly stabbed the Stone Chunin on his right.
The Stone Chunin blocked with crossed arms, and Obito's Kunai pierced into his arm.
The other Stone Chunin delivered a flying kick.
Obito leaped backward, dodging the flying kick while creating distance, and formed hand seals again.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
Obito spewed a huge fireball forward, and the two Stone ninja immediately used Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall to defend.
Obito, fighting two against one, was not at a disadvantage after activating his Sharingan.
Meanwhile, Shirou was lying spread-eagled on the ground, looking at the sky with a look of lingering fear.
That was truly a close call just now.
Just as Hakuto Ju's fist was about to hit him, Shirou used the wings on his shoulders to protect his back, blocking some of the force.
Then, just as he was about to be slammed into the ground, his Sand Iron wings quickly changed shape and blocked in front of him, neutralizing the impact of landing.
If Shirou hadn't reacted quickly and resourcefully, neutralizing the force of Hakuto Ju's fist and the force of landing, his small body might not have made it.
But even after neutralizing most of the impact, Shirou's bones still ached all over.
"Seriously, that was too rough! If only problems could be solved by insults, I would have won for sure."
Shirou endured the pain and sat up, witnessing a shocking scene.
Obito hadn't run; he was still fighting the two Stone Chunin head-on.
"Huh... wait! Am I hallucinating from the hit? Why do Obito's eyes look red?"
"Hmm, it must be an illusion. I actually saw a Sharingan, and a two-tomoe one at that."
Shirou's jaw gradually dropped as he stared at Obito in astonishment.
This was no illusion; Obito had actually activated his Sharingan.
This shouldn't be happening!
Shouldn't Obito activate his Sharingan after Kakashi became a Jonin, and because of Kakashi?
Currently, Kakashi was still a Chunin and was still entangled with those two Stone ninja.
As for Rin Nohara...
"Shirou, are you okay?"
Rin Nohara, who had been hiding, appeared and called out to Shirou from not far behind him.
When Rin Nohara saw Shirou being punched away, her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't bother to hide herself anymore and quickly stealthily approached Shirou, wanting to see his condition and help treat him.
Rin Nohara was also fine, and if Rin Nohara had been in trouble, it wouldn't have been a Sharingan issue, but a matter of whether or not to shed tears.
So... Obito activated his Sharingan for him?
No way? Obito wouldn't have worn colored contact lenses, would he?
Shirou, who had come back to his senses, stopped Rin Nohara, who was slowly approaching him from behind: "Rin, I'm fine. Don't come out; keep hiding!"
Shirou looked towards Obito and Kakashi.
Kakashi had just killed one Stone Chunin and was fighting and retreating with the other Stone Chunin, moving closer to Obito's direction.
Although Obito had activated his Sharingan and his strength had increased, he was still fighting the two Stone Chunin head-on, but it was still a bit difficult.
Initially, Obito injured one Stone Chunin with a Kunai, but that was only because of the element of surprise.
When Obito first started fighting, he was clumsy and only knew how to run. After activating his Sharingan, he suddenly had a burst of power, which disrupted the rhythm of the two Stone Chunin.
But now, the two Stone Chunin had adapted to Obito's fighting rhythm and had suppressed Obito again.
Shirou searched for Hakuto Ju and successfully found him not far away.
Hakuto Ju was also looking for Shirou.
Because Hakuto Ju wasn't sure if that punch had actually finished Shirou, he needed to see Shirou's corpse to be at ease.
Shirou's eyes darted around, and he immediately had an idea, then lay flat on the ground.
Hakuto Ju rushed towards the location where he had slammed Shirou into the ground.
Upon arriving at the location, Hakuto Ju saw Shirou lying in the pit, his tongue hanging out, his Byakugan rolled so far back that the pupils were invisible, and without any breath, appearing to be as dead as can be.
Hakuto Ju revealed a triumphant smile.
Hakuto Ju, who was very confident in that punch just now, seeing Shirou like this, subconsciously believed that Shirou was already a corpse.
Although he only knew Earth Release: Added-Weight Rock Technique and not Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique, this one technique allowed him to successfully join the ranks of Jonin. He didn't know how many Jonin he had killed with a single punch.
Moreover, this was also one of their Tsuchikage Ōnoki's ultimate moves; how could this brat possibly withstand it?
Hakuto Ju took out a Kunai, intending to cut off Shirou's head and take it back.
The moment Hakuto Ju's Kunai touched Shirou's neck, Shirou's entire body turned black.
Hakuto Ju's heart gave a violent leap.
It was a Sand Iron clone!
And the real Shirou was hiding beneath the Sand Iron clone.
Shirou showed Hakuto Ju a brilliant, sunny smile.
"Magnet Release: Sand Iron Binding Coffin!"
Hakuto Ju jumped backward, trying to dodge, but the Sand Iron had already wrapped around Hakuto Ju's body.
Hakuto Ju was incredibly disbelieving; he had actually been tricked by a brat.
While the Sand Iron hadn't covered his entire body, Hakuto Ju immediately formed hand seals.
"Earth Release: Rock Body!"
A large amount of rock covered Hakuto Ju's entire body, and at the same time, Hakuto Ju also used Earth Release: Added-Weight Rock Technique to increase the rock's rigidity.
Shirou's Sand Iron also completely enveloped Hakuto Ju's entire body.
Shirou felt extremely pleased.
Finally, the situation had turned! This bastard, he had found his chance!
