Chapter 191 Cry for Help
Chapter 191 Cry for Help
Cold and damp.
It felt like someone had struck the back of my head hard with a hammer; the dull pain intensified with each beat of my pulse.
Kakashi Hatake struggled to open his eyes; his vision was still somewhat blurry.
The first thing you see is a dark rock wall, and the air is filled with the smell of mildew and a nauseating stench of blood.
He tried to move, but found that his hands and feet were tightly bound by special chakra ropes, and the flow of chakra in his body became sluggish, as if it was suppressed by some kind of sealing technique.
"Well……"
A faint groan came from beside me.
Kakashi turned his head and saw Obito Uchiha lying in the puddle.
The goggles were half broken, blood was still seeping from his forehead, and his breathing was weak but relatively steady.
Where is this place?
Kakashi forced himself to calm down, his gaze passing over Obito and looking into the depths of the cave.
His pupils suddenly contracted.
On a flat area a dozen meters away, a rough stone pillar stands.
Nohara Rin was tied up and was unconscious.
Around her, several Hidden Mist ninjas formed a circle, their feet marked with intricate black jutsu symbols. Red chakra light flowed across the ground, climbing up Rin's ankles little by little.
"Hurry up, isn't the sealing team ready yet?"
The leader of the Mist Ninja captains—who was now possessed by Black Zetsu—was urging impatiently, "It would be troublesome if Konoha's reinforcements arrived."
"It'll be done soon. This technique forcibly implanting tailed beast chakra is very complicated, and the container has a strong rejection reaction," a ninja from the mist replied, without slowing down the hand seals.
Tailed beast chakra?
Kakashi's heart sank.
Although he couldn't understand the specific details, he could sense that Lin was in an extremely dangerous situation.
That chakra gave off an extremely ominous feeling, filled with an aura of violence and destruction.
Save her.
This was the only thought in Kakashi's mind.
He tried to struggle, but the rope didn't budge; instead, it left bloody marks on his wrists.
He had no weapons, his chakra was sealed, and there was a comatose loser next to him.
A desperate situation.
Kakashi gritted his teeth, a hint of despair in his eyes. He was still too weak, too weak to even protect his comrades.
If it were his father, or Minato-sensei here, they would surely have a solution, right?
Minato-sensei...
Kakashi suddenly remembered something.
Although his fingers were bound, he could still move them slightly.
His hand reached for his waist, where a small, hard object was hidden in the inner pocket.
Those were special amulets that Minato-sensei had given them before.
According to Minato-sensei, this was given to them by Nishikawa Tetsu.
Che said that once this device is deployed, radio signals can be received within a radius of fifty kilometers.
Minato's words echoed in his mind.
Kakashi took a deep breath, trying not to attract the attention of the Mist Ninja in the distance, and used two fingers to grip the pull ring of the amulet with great difficulty.
"It has to be useful..."
He exerted a sudden force.
"Click".
A very faint, crisp sound, almost drowned out by the dripping water in the cave.
The miniature chakra battery inside the amulet activated instantly, and a special radio signal penetrated the thick rock wall at the speed of light, spreading in all directions.
……
At the Konoha front-line camp, in the command tent, Nishikawa Tetsu was writing something.
"Drip—drip—drip—"
Suddenly, a black box placed on the corner of the table emitted a rapid and sharp sound, and a red indicator light flashed wildly.
Nishikawa Tetsu's movements froze instantly, and the pen in his hand snapped in two with a "crack".
"Is this... an emergency distress signal?"
He grabbed the receiver and quickly checked the signal source's encoding.
"This frequency... belongs to Class Seven!"
Nishikawa Tetsuya suddenly stood up, his eyes instantly turning sharp as knives.
Minato possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique; if he encounters an insurmountable danger, his first reaction should be to evacuate with his disciples.
Kakashi has sounded the alarm, which means Minato isn't with them, or... Minato is being held back.
"Is it Zetsu, or Madara, who made the move?"
Nishikawa Tetsu remained completely calm, his mind racing.
If the opponents are those two cunning old foxes, sending an ordinary rescue team would just be suicide.
He grabbed his coat, strode out of the tent, and headed straight for the police station next door.
"Fugaku-senpai!"
Nishikawa Tetsu lifted the curtain, and Uchiha Fugaku, who was resting with his eyes closed, instantly opened them, his eyes alert after experiencing the baptism of the battlefield.
"What's wrong?" Fugaku stood up immediately when he saw Nishikawa Tetsu's expression.
"Team 7 is in trouble. Kakashi has sent out the highest level of distress signal."
Nishikawa Tetsu spoke very quickly, taking out a signal locator from his ninja tool bag as he spoke.
"It is located in the mountains 30 kilometers to the northwest, where the terrain is complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"Where's Minato?" Fugaku frowned.
"I don't know, but since they sent out a distress signal, it means the situation has reached its most critical moment."
Nishikawa Tetsu looked at Fugaku with icy eyes: "Senior, I need firepower, the strongest firepower."
Without saying a word, Fugaku grabbed the police uniform next to him, put it on, and strode out.
"Yashiro! Assemble!"
Fugaku's voice boomed throughout the camp.
"All Uchiha clan members, take all the weapons you can carry!"
"besides……"
Nishikawa Tetsu added, "Notify Akimichi Touichi to bring out the entire heavy electromagnetic railgun battalion! Don't hold back on those things; this time we're going to flatten that mountain!"
"clear!"
……
Five minutes later.
At the entrance of the camp, a fully armed elite force had already assembled.
"The main force is moving too slowly."
Nishikawa Toru glanced at the fully equipped and ready-to-go team, then turned to Fugaku and said.
"Senior, let's go ahead and scout the situation to prevent them from killing the hostage."
"it is good."
Fugaku nodded.
"Hinata Hiroshi!" Nishikawa Tetsu shouted.
"exist!"
A Jonin from the Hyuga branch family appeared in a flash. He sighed. During the Second Shinobi World War, this kid was just a Genin, but now he has become a pillar of Konoha, while he himself has not made much progress.
"You're with us; we need your eyes."
"yes!"
"Set off!"
Nishikawa Tetsu, Uchiha Fugaku, and Hyuga Hiroshi instantly transformed into three afterimages and disappeared into the night.
Behind them, Akimichi Touichi shouldered the thick, black electromagnetic cannon and grinned at his teammates.
"Brothers, let's run! Don't keep our comrades waiting!"
