On the outskirts of Konoha.
Two figures were fighting fiercely.
One of them was bathed in blue Chakra, which was the Sanbi's Chakra Mode. The Sanbi's Chakra gathered in Rin's hands and formed a Chakra Blade.
Ding Ding Dong Dong!
Nohara Rin's opponent was Kakashi.
Kakashi was bathed in lightning, and his White Fang was constantly crisscrossing up and down, colliding with Rin's Chakra Blade.
Brush!
After several collisions, Rin's figure flickered. While waving her Chakra blades to suppress Kakashi's White Fang, a wisp of Chakra suddenly flung out from behind her and turned into a huge tail sweeping towards Kakashi's body.
Kakashi's face slightly changed, and with a low shout, he pushed Rin's Chakra Blade away and retreated, then he waved his White Fang and cut off the Chakra tail.
"Huff … Huff …"
Kakashi retreated not far away and gasped for breath.
On the other side, Rin's forehead overflowed with a little sweat, and her chest slightly moved up and down. Controlling the Sanbi's Chakra was also a huge burden for her.
The battle between the two was a draw.
In many previous confrontations, Kakashi suppressed Rin in the Sanbi's Chakra Mode.
But this time, Rin was basically on par with Kakashi, and even began to put a lot of pressure on Kakashi. Between the two, it was obvious that Rin had a little upper hand.
On the other side.
Maples was standing in an open space, opposite to him, there were two wooden stakes with strange patterns engraved on them, which were Maples's Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
Maples stared at the position of the two stakes, perceiving the position of his engraved Jutsu in space, and then the Chakra in his body ran.
Brush!
His whole body fell on one of the stakes in an instant.
But although he passed by.
Everything else was left in place.
Maples fell on the stake and instantly felt cold all over his body, and then without any pause, he flashed back to his original place. In a flash, the clothes that had not yet fallen to the ground were instantly put on by him.
Because this was not the first time such a problem had occurred, his movements were abnormally proficient.
Moving with clothes and just moving with one's body were two completely different concepts. Even though he had been cultivating at five times the normal speed for nearly a month, this situation still happened occasionally when he used the Flying Thunder God. However, the number of times it happened was very low, at most one out of ten times.
"That should do it …"
Maples murmured.
His talent in space was slightly better than Kakashi's, but only by a little. Using Flying Thunder God, he still needed about a second to sense the location of the spell. With this one second delay, Flying Thunder God was basically useless in battle.
The Flying Thunder God's strength lay in the fact that it didn't require any hand seals. One second of delay was enough to release two Substitution Technique seals.
However, for Maples who was purely using this technique to teleport over long distances, it didn't matter whether there was a delay or not.
The most important thing was the perception of long-range tactics.
At this point, because his talent in space was a little higher than Kakashi's, he could also sense the location of the long-range Flying Thunder God, but it was more vague. The farther the distance, the longer it would take to lock onto the target.
According to his judgment, if he left a Jutsu in Roran, it would take him about ten seconds to half a minute to lock onto the location of the Jutsu and teleport over.
This was enough.
After stopping his cultivation, Feng Ye's figure flickered a few times before he arrived at where Kakashi and Rin were fighting. He stopped the battle and said:
"Okay, let's stop here."
After ending the battle, Maples glanced at Kakashi, who was obviously in a worse state, smiled and said: "Finally, you can't win against Rin, Kakashi."
The previous confrontation basically ended with Kakashi's victory, but as Rin's control of the Sanbi's Chakra became more and more proficient, the situation gradually changed. This was the first time that Kakashi was at a disadvantage in a confrontation with Rin.
Kakashi calmed his heavy breathing, exhaled, and said, "If it's a battle of life and death, I can still win."
Rin's combat experience is still very poor.
If it's a life and death struggle, he's confident that he can kill Rin even if he's injured, but that's a tactic used against the enemy.
Rin dissipated the Sanbi's Chakra and smiled indifferently: "Kakashi is still very strong, I just borrowed the Sanbi's power."
"Let's go and eat."
Maples smiled at the two and walked in the direction of Konoha.
Lin and Kakashi also followed him.
Just as the three figures disappeared, about a hundred meters away from here, a ninja wearing a mask fell from the treetops.
He looked at the direction where Kaede left for a few seconds, then his figure flickered as he quickly entered Konoha from another direction and quickly came to the underground of Konoha.
This is the base of the Root organization.
"Danzo-Sama."
The ninja monitoring the Maples entered the base and knelt on one knee in front of Danzo and reported: "Hatake Maples, Hatake Kakashi, and the Sanbi's Jinchuriki are still practicing in the previous place, there is no abnormality for the time being, but the Sanbi's control of the Bijuu has become stronger, and his combat power seems to have surpassed Kakashi's."
Listening to the report, Danzo calmly paced back and forth in the room.
The strength of the Sanbi's Jinchuriki has become stronger, this is bad news, because the increase in the opponent's strength means that the Maples will be more difficult to control.
If the Sanbi's Jinchuriki grows further and reaches his level, then it will become a great threat to him, and it will become a huge obstacle for him to deal with the Maples.
I can't wait any longer!
Danzo's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Sarutobi didn't agree with his plan to control the Maples so far, he only sent the Anbu to monitor the Maples' movements, this kind of indecisive behavior will sooner or later become a disaster.
"For the sake of balance? But the uniqueness of the Maples is difficult to balance, Sarutobi … "
Danzo made a decision.
It's time to act.
As long as he controls the Maples and makes the Maples his own power, then he can immediately reach the level where he can compete with Sarutobi. His opinion will have absolute dominance in the high-level of Konoha, and take away the power held by Sarutobi and Minato.
Then he can gradually take complete control of Konoha, and then start the war again, and really start his plan to unify the Shinobi world!
