Shindai righteously reprimanded Obito for his despicable act of trying to bribe him.
Obito pointed to his head and confidently said, "Shindai, your lies have nowhere to hide under my wisdom. You just want to be lazy!"
Now it was Shindai's turn to have dead fish eyes: "Wisdom? Are you sure there isn't just water in your head?"
Obito was still Obito, his face turning red again: "There's water in your head!"
Shindai looked at Rin Nohara: "Rin, let me tell you, the reason Obito wears sunglasses, styles his hair back, and intermittently speaks no more than six words, acting cool, is all to get your attention..."
Before Shindai could finish, Obito shrieked, drowning out Shindai's remaining words.
Obito lunged at Shindai, covering his mouth tightly with both hands: "You can't do that! That's too much of a jerk!"
Shindai rolled his eyes.
In Obito's view, Shindai rolling his eyes was mocking him.
After all, Shindai always rolled his eyes at him or Kakashi.
Obito angrily said, "You're still rolling your eyes at me?! Don't say it! Otherwise, I'll fight you!"
Rin Nohara looked at Shindai, who was rolling his eyes, and her heart skipped a beat: "Hey, Obito, you've covered Shindai's mouth and nostrils. He's rolling his eyes because he's lacking oxygen!"
Hearing Rin Nohara, Obito saw that Shindai's face had turned blue and quickly released his hands.
Shindai coughed twice, then gasped for air.
Obito nervously shuffled backward.
He hadn't moved many steps when he heard Shindai's roar.
"Obito! You big idiot! I'll fight you!"
Shindai pounced like a fierce tiger, tackling Obito, and then the two began a close exchange.
Kakashi glanced at the sky, then at Shindai and Obito, who were intensely exchanging blows, and reminded them, "There are still three minutes of rest time. We have to leave when the time is up."
...
Obito, bruised and swollen, asked, "Kakashi, how much further is it?"
Kakashi looked at the map: "According to this distance, it's probably a little over a day's journey."
Shindai, with two black eyes and a swollen left cheek, asked in confusion, "Why are the supply delivery locations getting further and further away now?"
Since Obito awakened his Sharingan, his strength had steadily increased.
Shindai's Magnet Release and puppet manipulation were good, but close-quarters Taijutsu was not his strong suit.
Now that Obito was fighting back, Shindai might not necessarily be Obito's match in a close-quarters fight.
Obito's growth rate after awakening his Sharingan was truly a bit too fast.
Kakashi put away the map and said, "Our battles with the Iwagakure Ninja are not as intense as they were initially. Our nearby front-line positions have enough supplies, so our current supply destination is indeed a bit far."
Shindai complained, "Can't each Ninja Village just pick one person to fight, and whoever wins, that village wins the war? Fighting like this is really annoying."
Kakashi said sternly, "Alright, stop complaining. Stay alert. The front-line position we're delivering to this time is very close to the Iwagakure Ninja's position, so we must be even more careful. Proceed according to our usual method of operation!"
Rin Nohara was in the middle, Kakashi and Obito walked in front, and Shindai was at the very back, observing the surroundings with his Third Eye.
Meanwhile, on the other side, while Shindai and his three companions were transporting supplies.
Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya were resting in a hidden location.
Minato Namikaze was carefully examining a map and analyzing it for Jiraiya: "Jiraiya-sensei, according to the intelligence we just received from Iwagakure Ninja, the Iwagakure Ninja plan to occupy this area and ambush our Ninja transporting supplies at this location.
This place is a crossroads where Ninja transporting supplies from three logistics bases will pass through. If this place is occupied by the Iwagakure Ninja, then our comrades on the front lines near the Iwagakure Ninja's position will not receive supply replenishment, and the supplies will also be intercepted by the Iwagakure Ninja, so we must deal with the Iwagakure Ninja occupying this place!"
Jiraiya looked at the location marked by Minato Namikaze on the map, his expression solemn.
Jiraiya agreed: "If that's the case, then let's set off now. War is fought on logistics and supply. Logistics and supply are the morale of our comrades fighting on the front lines, so we absolutely cannot allow the essential path for our comrades transporting supplies to be occupied by the Iwagakure Ninja!"
Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya immediately set off for the marked location on the map, arriving after half a day of continuous travel.
However, upon arriving at the location, Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya's brows furrowed.
Because according to the Iwagakure Ninja's plan, many Iwagakure Ninja should have been ambushed here by now, but not a single Iwagakure Ninja was found.
Suddenly.
Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya suddenly dodged backward as two lava-like fireballs attacked their previous position.
The fireballs hit the ground and exploded, molten rock splattering and igniting the surrounding trees.
At the same time, five figures appeared, surrounding Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya.
Jiraiya saw two of them and his face filled with shock: "It's you two, Ōnoki actually sent you?!"
Minato Namikaze asked in confusion, "Who is it?"
Jiraiya said with a solemn tone, "Roshi, the Four-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, and Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki!"
"What?"
Minato Namikaze's expression also changed as he looked at Roshi and Han.
So they were Jinchuriki, just like Uzumaki Kushina.
Roshi snorted coldly: "I thought we would be fighting the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha by sending us two, but it turns out there are only you two."
Jiraiya's face was a bit grim: "It seems we fell for it; the intelligence we got from the Iwagakure Ninja was fake."
Han sneered: "Of course, Jiraiya, you and your disciple are really good at jumping around. It's not easy to find you, so instead of us looking for you, it's better to let you come to us."
Minato Namikaze stared intently at Roshi and Han, and suggested to Jiraiya: "Jiraiya-sensei, let's give it a try!"
Jiraiya looked at Minato Namikaze beside him in surprise.
To try and fight two Jinchuriki? Is he serious?
Minato Namikaze said with determined eyes, "If Jinchuriki join the war, it will be a disaster for our comrades, so I want to try and see if we can stop them here!"
Jiraiya felt that Minato Namikaze's idea was crazy.
However, as Minato Namikaze said, if the two Jinchuriki of Iwagakure joined the war, it would be a dimension-shattering blow to the Konoha Ninja here, and the losses would certainly be severe.
Jiraiya also took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm: "Then... let's try!"
