Chapter 6

In fact, Tetsu Uesugi did not understand that the Iwa-nin did not flee solely because of him, but because he recognized the identity of Minato.

The golden flash of Konoha is the nightmare of all Konoha's enemies.

"He's mine, you deal with the remaining one."

Minato exchanged a glance with Tetsu Uesugi, and as he spoke, he leaped to chase the fleeing Iwa-nin.

An Iwa four-man squad, two dead and one escaped, leaving only one genin. If Tetsu Uesugi, Obito, and Rin couldn't handle the remaining one together, they might as well not be ninjas.

Moreover, Minato was well aware of Tetsu Uesugi's strength and had no worries at all with him around.

Seeing Minato already chasing the fleeing Iwa-nin, Tetsu Uesugi immediately turned around and saw Obito struggling against the last Iwa-nin, gradually falling into a disadvantage.

Obito, who had been scratched by a kunai, felt a hint of fear.

In this situation, the Iwa-nin showed no intention of retreating; instead, his eyes were filled with madness and killing intent.

Tetsu Uesugi immediately understood the Iwa-nin's plan.

Knowing he couldn't escape, he intended to take Obito down with him, pulling one down with him before dying.

Without a word, Tetsu Uesugi immediately dashed towards the Iwa-nin who was entangled with Obito.

Sensing Tetsu Uesugi's approach, the Iwa-nin reacted quickly, leaping back and forming hand seals.

[Earth Release: Earth Thousand Needles]

Just as Tetsu Uesugi reached the Iwa-nin's original position, he and Obito were both within the attack range.

Suddenly,

The ground in front of the enemy trembled, and countless earth needles burst forth, forming a vast net that instantly enveloped Tetsu Uesugi and Obito.

"Obito! Tetsu!"

Kono Haruno, standing not far away, was too late to help. Even if she rushed over, her strength would be of no use.

Hearing Rin's call, Obito felt a surge of joy.

So, in Rin's heart, I am ahead of that Tetsu Uesugi.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

Tetsu Uesugi, however, had no time to pay attention to Obito's foolishness. At such a critical moment, he was still thinking about love.

Seeing the countless earth needles shooting towards them like a thousand needles, if they couldn't defend, he and Obito would be turned into porcupines.

Although this was just a C-rank jutsu, its power was not to be underestimated.

Snake - Monkey - Rooster - Sheep

These hand seals, which Tetsu Uesugi was extremely familiar with, were instantly completed as his hands moved. This was the jutsu he had mastered.

To perfection!

[Wind Release: Wind Chaos Scroll]

As the last seal was formed, Tetsu Uesugi's chakra surged, and a strong wind suddenly arose within a few yards around him.

In an instant, the wind surged, forming a powerful current that began to wildly sweep around Tetsu Uesugi's field of vision.

The strong wind howled, enveloping all the earth needles that were rushing towards them, disrupting their direction through the chaotic airflow.

Not only that, but the strong wind formed by [Wind Release: Wind Chaos Scroll] was also incredibly sharp, slicing the countless earth needles into pieces as they touched them.

C-rank jutsu against C-rank jutsu, very fair.

But what was unfair was that Tetsu Uesugi's C-rank jutsu was far stronger than the enemy's [Earth Release: Earth Thousand Needles].

They were not in the same league.

This was thanks to Tetsu Uesugi's talent and his hard work.

The enemy's [Earth Thousand Needles] was instantly neutralized by Tetsu Uesugi's [Wind Chaos Scroll], and the countless earth needles turned into dust, but the strong wind continued to advance.

"Damn!"

Seeing the strong wind approaching, the enemy was terrified and tried to form seals again to use a jutsu, but it was too late.

In addition to the "sharp" characteristic of Wind Release, it also had a "speed" comparable to Lightning Release. The strong wind howled and reached the enemy in an instant.

Escape!

At this moment, the enemy had only one thought.

Facing the unstoppable [Wind Chaos Scroll], he did not hesitate, turning and fleeing, despite his fear, not daring to look back.

"Ah—"

As expected, a惨叫声响彻，片刻后戛然而止，被怒吼的狂风吞噬。

砰！

沉闷的声响传来，狂风消散。

一个土黄色的身影从半空中跌落，重重地摔在地上，再也没有了声息。

“解、解决了吗……”

带土的声音从上杉彻的身后传来。

上杉彻回头一看，带土双目失神，愣愣地望着前方。

“嗯，解决了。”上杉彻笑着说道，“带土前辈，你的伤没事吧？”

“还好……”带土愣愣地答道，突然回过神来，“什么伤？我没受伤，真的。”

上杉彻微微一笑，没有说话。

因为野原琳已经跑了过来，一脸焦急：“啊！带土，你的手臂在流血，别乱动，我先给你治疗！”

带土顿时臊红了脸，被心爱之人揭穿，比受伤时感觉还要痛上几分，不甘地瘪着嘴，将头偏过去，祈祷上杉彻没有注意到他的尴尬。

“嘛，都解决了啊。”

这时，水门的声音突然响起，他看着地上躺着的岩忍尸体，心中微微惊讶。

无他。

被上杉彻的[风遁·风乱卷]杀死的敌人，已经面目全非，身上到处是锋利的切口，脸都花了。

水门一看便知道是风遁忍术造成的伤害，小队里除了他之外，只有上杉彻能够使用风遁忍术。

这般造诣，很不一般。

此时，上杉彻瞥见水门手中握着的一柄染血的苦无，便知逃走的那名敌人，也已经被解决掉了。

毕竟四代出马，一个顶俩。

上杉彻没有什么好担心的。

“没事吧？”水门走近，向上杉彻问道。

“水门老师，我没事。”上杉彻摇了摇头。

“那就好……”水门点头微笑，突然又道，“带土的伤势怎么样了？”

此话一出，带土的脸都青了。

为什么又要提一句？

“啊！带土！”野原琳突然吓了一跳，“你的脸色怎么突然变了，是哪里不舒服吗？”

“没、没有……”带土心虚地看了一眼上杉彻，见他背对着自己，没有丝毫异样，突然松了口气。

他可不想被这个讨厌的家伙同情，男儿当自强！

本来嘛，大家一起出来做任务，开开心心的，就他一个人受了伤。

不是滋味。

带土心绪杂乱之间，又悄悄看了上杉彻一眼。

这次是我大意了，等下次再遇见敌人，我一定会鼓起勇气，用豪火球之术将敌人烧成灰烬！

嗯，下次一定！

---

A scream echoed, and after a moment, it abruptly stopped, swallowed by the roaring wind.

Bang!

A dull sound came, and the strong wind dissipated.

A brown figure fell from the air, landing heavily on the ground, and there was no more sound.

"Is it... over?"

Obito's voice came from behind Tetsu Uesugi.

Tetsu Uesugi turned around and saw Obito, his eyes dazed, staring blankly ahead.

"Yes, it's over," Tetsu Uesugi said with a smile. "Obito-senpai, are you hurt?"

"Fine..." Obito replied dazedly, suddenly coming to his senses. "What injury? I'm not hurt, really."

Tetsu Uesugi smiled slightly but said nothing.

Rin had already run over, looking anxious. "Ah! Obito, your arm is bleeding, don't move, I'll treat you first!"

Obito's face turned red with embarrassment, feeling more pain from being exposed by the one he loved than from the injury itself. He pouted and turned his head away, hoping Tetsu Uesugi hadn't noticed his awkwardness.

"Well, it's all over."

At that moment, Minato's voice suddenly sounded. He looked at the Iwa-nin's corpse on the ground, slightly surprised.

There was no other reason.

The enemy killed by Tetsu Uesugi's [Wind Release: Wind Chaos Scroll] was unrecognizable, with sharp cuts all over his body, his face disfigured.

Minato immediately recognized the damage caused by a Wind Release jutsu. In the team, only he and Tetsu Uesugi could use Wind Release jutsu.

Such skill was quite extraordinary.

At this moment, Tetsu Uesugi noticed the blood-stained kunai in Minato's hand and knew that the fleeing enemy had also been taken care of.

After all, with the Fourth Hokage, one was as good as two.

Tetsu Uesugi had nothing to worry about.

"Are you okay?" Minato asked as he approached Tetsu Uesugi.

"Sensei Minato, I'm fine," Tetsu Uesugi shook his head.

"That's good..." Minato nodded and smiled, then suddenly added, "How is Obito's injury?"

At this, Obito's face turned pale.

Why bring it up again?

"Ah! Obito!" Rin suddenly exclaimed, "Why did your face change? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, no..." Obito glanced nervously at Tetsu Uesugi, seeing that he was facing away and showing no signs of noticing, he let out a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to be pitied by that annoying guy. A man should be strong!

After all, they had all come out on a mission together, and it was no fun for only him to be injured.

Feeling uneasy, Obito glanced at Tetsu Uesugi again.

This time, I was careless. Next time I encounter an enemy, I will gather my courage and use the Great Fireball Technique to burn them to ashes!

Yes, next time, for sure!
