He also saw his father's chakra being rapidly absorbed.

"Father! Wake up! Wake up!"

"What on earth is going on! Master, look at the sky! It looks like everyone's chakra has been sucked up to the sky!" Boruto activated his Jōgan, and all the blue chakra in his vision flowed towards the moon. He pointed at it.

Sasuke used his Rinnegan to look and found it to be true. He angrily slammed his fist on the ground: "It must be him! But how did he do that?!"

"Master, are you perhaps referring to...?"

Sasuke nodded, his tone certain: "That's right, it was definitely Urashiki Otsutsuki who did it!"

......

After waiting for a while, the simultaneous brilliance of the sun and moon in the sky disappeared, and Fugaku regained his senses, only to feel that most of the chakra in his body had been absorbed.

He looked at Sasuke, who had activated Susanoo, with a puzzled expression: "Sasuke? Why are you absorbing my chakra?"

All around.

"Wow, this guy, could he be using the legendary Susanoo that only Madara Uchiha could use?!"

"Absolutely! Who is this person? Why is he walking with the clan leader!"

"I think the Uchiha clan's secret weapon for running for the Fourth Hokage is about to be revealed. This time, our Uchiha clan will definitely produce a Hokage!"

The whispers of the Uchiha clan members around him filled his ears. Sasuke knew things had gotten out of hand. He canceled his Susanoo, grabbed Fugaku and Boruto, and quickly left the area.

However, this news still reached the ears of Konoha's higher-ups.

......

"What! A third pair of Mangekyou Sharingan?!"

"That's right, this was reported by the secret service that was tracking the two men who suddenly started jumping around in the village."

In the Hokage's office, the words of the Anbu captain made Hiruzen Sarutobi fall into deep thought.

Ultimately, he decided to test Fugaku Uchiha and find out what the Uchiha thought of the Fourth Hokage.

Although he said he would give Fugaku a chance to run for office in order to alleviate the dissatisfaction of the powerful Uchiha clan.

After all, the Uchiha clan currently possesses two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan.

But in reality, he had already decided on the highly decorated Minato Namikaze.

We just need to accumulate a few more battles, and that will be enough.

"By the way, did you notice anything wrong with yourself just now?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, recalling how his body had suddenly felt off and how much of his chakra had inexplicably disappeared.

"Yes." The ANBU captain nodded. "I don't know why, but I suddenly fell from mid-air, and then my chakra was gone..."

"I see. Something strange might have happened just now. In other words, this might be related to the Susanoo that the Anbu saw earlier." Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was serious. It seemed that they still needed to be careful about this matter. The Uchiha might possess the power to change the world, and even he, the strongest Hokage, hadn't reacted.

With this in mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi had an idea.

“Continue to keep them under surveillance. Once those two are alone, bring them over. Remember, bring them over, not threaten them.”

"Yes!"

......

Sasuke and Boruto spent almost the entire day in the clan compound, waiting for news.

Finally, news came that Rin Nohara and Kakashi were both on the battlefield, and Minato Namikaze had been temporarily transferred, along with the Sannin, to carry out a special mission.

"This is too dangerous. If this happens, Rin Nohara might be captured again!" Sasuke didn't want the world to face another crisis of extermination.

“But Kushina’s safety is also a concern.” Fugaku asked tentatively, “You mentioned Urashiki Otsutsuki, will he really show up? If even you and Naruto are no match for the Otsutsuki clan, then perhaps none of us can stand against them either?”

Boruto Uzumaki is getting a little anxious.

"Damn it! At a time like this, isn't there a way to protect two people at the same time?"

"Boruto, calm down." Sasuke calmed the agitated Boruto down. "We'll wait on Rin's matter for now and try to get her and Kakashi transferred back to the village together, so we can protect them both at the same time."

Sasuke changed the subject, looking at Fugaku: "But do you know what mission the Fourth Hokage and the Legendary Sannin are on right now?"

Upon hearing the name of the Fourth Hokage, Fugaku rubbed his temples and said, "Could you call him Minato? I'd like to be Hokage for a while."

Sasuke sighed, "Father, you know perfectly well..."

Fugaku waved his hand: "Alright. I understand. Minato and the Sannin are on an intelligence gathering mission to find the organization behind the events that instigated the conflict between Roran and the Land of Fire."

He knew he had no chance of becoming Hokage, but since the outcome wasn't yet in, he could still dream about it.

"I just hope it won't take too long..." Sasuke said uneasily, "I have a bad feeling about this..."

"Master..." Boruto hesitated, wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

......

Click.

In the Land of Rivers, on the battlefield of fire and wind, White Zetsu emerged from underground and looked at the two-person team carrying out a reconnaissance mission not far away.

"Finally, I'm all alone. Now it's time to start the plan."

The White Zetsu burrowed back into the ground, leaving no trace.

......

"There seems to be no trace of ninja activity here."

"Okay. It's about time, let's go back."

"it is good."

After inspecting the battlefield, Nohara Rin and Kakashi prepared to return to their camp.

Just then, they heard a series of soft sounds, and their expressions immediately froze.

"It's a ninja!"

"Kakashi, run!"

Nohara Rin could hear the number of sounds very clearly. She now had to cover Kakashi's retreat in order to ensure that he could send the message back.

"I want to leave! No way!"

Water Release: Water Chaos!

The sound and the water-based attack came at the same time, and the water column flew through the hidden jungle, quickly heading towards the two of them.

Kakashi quickly formed hand seals: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

The dog-headed earthen wall unfolded, and a water column punched out a crater. A dozen or so Kirigakure ninjas appeared around Kakashi and Rin Nohara. Without exception, they all wore Kirigakure ANBU masks and Kirigakure assassination squad uniforms.

"Damn it! It's Kirigakure's ANBU! Why are Kirigakure's ANBU here?!" In front of the earthen wall, Kakashi shielded Nohara Rin behind him, holding a kunai in his hand.

Click!

The earthen wall behind him shattered instantly. Kakashi quickly pulled Nohara Rin away, and his kunai collided with the Kirigakure ANBU who charged forward with their swords raised.

Zheng!

"Kakashi!"

"There's no time to distract you now, little girl." A member of the Hidden Mist ninja swiftly stepped forward and, in no time, captured Nohara Rin.

Kakashi, turning his head and witnessing this scene, exclaimed in fury, "Rin!"

"Kid, you're Kakashi with the Sharingan, right?"

He spoke to the Hidden Mist ninja in front of him.

"Damn it! I will kill you all!"

Kakashi glared hatefully at the Hidden Mist ninja in front of him.

"You think you can take me on?" The Hidden Mist ninja grinned from beneath the mask. "Although the Mizukage ordered us to capture that little girl, eliminating you here would be a great achievement!"

"octopus."

The captain of the Dark Army in the team said, "Don't waste time on this. You know how cruel Lord Mizukage is to those who fail missions."

"Tch." The Hidden Mist ninja distanced himself from Kakashi, raising his sword finger with his left hand: "Fine, I'll let you go for now. Kakashi of Konoha with the Sharingan."

"No! Let Lin go!"

Kakashi quickly gave chase, only to see the Hidden Mist ninja in front of him vanish like water droplets.

"Damn it, it's the Water Instantaneous Movement Technique! I won't give up! I will definitely protect you! Rin!" Kakashi's body crackled with lightning as he quickly followed the trail of the Hidden Mist ninja.

But he paused for a moment.

He relayed the message back to the camp to Parker.

......

"What? Protecting Nohara Rin, or is it a request from the Uchiha clan?" Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who was in charge of this battlefield, heard such a strange request for the first time: "Could it be because of Obito?"

He guessed it might be because of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, where Obito Uchiha of Team 7 sacrificed himself to save his teammates and gave Kakashi his Sharingan.

"Has the Minato team returned yet?" Shinnosuke Sarutobi asked.

"Not yet." A young ninja in front of them said, then added, "They're just going on a reconnaissance mission, nothing will happen to them."

“That’s true.” Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded. Their reconnaissance was just a routine task; there hadn’t been any fighting on the battlefield for almost a month, and with Roran declaring war, Sunagakure was probably about to surrender…

"Something's wrong! Commander!"

Outside the camp, a ninja rushed in, clutching an intelligence scroll in his hand, with a small dog following at his feet.

"Keita, what's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

The ninja named Keita said with a serious expression and solemn tone, "Nohara Rin has been captured by Kirigakure ninjas who crossed the border! Class Leader Kakashi has already gone after her!"

"What?!" ×N

Several commanders in the command battalion expressed their shock in unison.

"How did those Hidden Mist ninjas cross our border?! Are the border ninjas just sitting around doing nothing?!"

"Now is not the time to think about that. What we need to consider is whether the Sand Village ninjas should join forces with the Kirigakure ninjas for a final counterattack!"

"All our ninjas have been captured, and you're still thinking about this? Are you even a Konoha ninja anymore?!"

"enough!"
