"You mean …" Sakura suddenly realized and turned to look at Chen in surprise. "How … How is this possible?!"
It wasn't as if Xiao Ying hadn't experienced how strong Obito was before. That kind of terrifying, even despairing power made people unable to even think of resisting.
But now, Obito actually said that Chen might be even stronger than him. After all, Uchiha Ichibi grew up with them in the past.
Xiao Ying knew that Chen was very powerful. However, she had never thought that Chen would be this powerful.
We are obviously the same age, so how can you be so strong? Did you take remedial lessons?
Obito shrugged helplessly, and with a trace of bitterness, he said, "I also hope that this is not true, but it is true, and I have to believe it. I will send you out first, and the battle after that is not something you can intervene in."
"Then you …" Xiao Ying opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. Obito's meaning was clear. He was not confident that he could escape with Xiao Ying from Shen's hands. Between the two of them, at most, only one of them could survive.
Obito chose to leave this opportunity to Sakura, and he was willing to sacrifice himself for her.
Sakura pursed her lips and looked at Obito. She did not understand Obito's current emotions, but she could feel Obito's willingness to sacrifice himself for her.
If possible, Sakura really did not want to see Obito die. Sakura closed her eyes, as if she was making a decision. She took a deep breath and suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze full of determination.
She took two steps forward and stood in front of Uchiha Chen. Her knees went soft, and she knelt down in front of him.
"What do you mean by this?" Chen saw Sakura kneeling in front of him and frowned slightly. He immediately mocked, "You want to kneel and beg for mercy, and ask me to let you go?"
"Yes," Sakura said with difficulty, "I want to ask you to let us go."
It was not easy for Sakura to beg for mercy. For someone as proud as her, this was undoubtedly a shame, but there was no better way at the moment.
If Obito could choose to sacrifice himself for her, then why couldn't Sakura put down her pride for Obito?
Uchiha Chen never asked her to beg for mercy, but Sakura still wanted to give it a try. As for the Rinnegan, it would be good if she could get it, but it didn't matter if she couldn't get it. The most important thing was that they could survive.
Enduring the gaze from above her head, Sakura really wanted to stand up and fight Chen, but in front of her companions, she chose to endure the humiliation.
That's right, when Obito decided to sacrifice himself to save her life, Sakura had already regarded him as a companion in her heart, even if Obito had done such a thing before.
They were enemies before, but that was because they were in different positions. Naturally, there would be conflicts. Obito couldn't be blamed. They had many enemies in the past. Gaara, the Cloud, the Rock, and the Mist, weren't they all enemies?
But now, they were able to stand together against the enemy. What's more, Obito used to be a member of Konoha. According to Kakashi and the 4th Hokage Minato, Obito used to be a hot-blooded youth.
"Reason!"
After pondering for a long time, Chen said softly.
"We used to be friends. Please let us go, for the sake of learning and living in the same class."
Sakura couldn't think of a better reason. This was all she could think of. After all, Sakura had no experience. She was never a weak person.
If she was alone, she would choose to fight Chen to the end. Even if she couldn't win, she would continue to fight. There was never a weak ninja who surrendered, only a ninja who tried their best to fight to the death.
"You …" Obito looked at Sakura in surprise. He didn't expect her to do this. Obito knew that she must have made a difficult choice in her heart.
After a long time, Obito sighed softly and didn't interfere with Sakura's choice. She had already knelt down, and Obito's refusal would not help Sakura at all. It would only make her feel even more humiliated.
"I really don't understand." Obito lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Is this the tradition of Konoha?"
"I don't ask for too much, and I know that my begging may be worthless in your eyes, but I still want to try. Please let us go."
Sakura put her hands on the ground and buried her head deep in her chest, trying to hold back the tears of humiliation in her eyes.
"I don't think I've ever said that we are friends."
This wasn't a refusal, but it was like a bolt from the blue in Sakura's ears.
Although Sakura was mentally prepared to be rejected, she still couldn't help but freeze in place when she heard Uchiha Chen's rejection.
What is this? Begging for mercy didn't work, and then waiting for death? Sakura had lost her will to fight. Begging for mercy didn't work, and then fighting and dying?
Seeing Sakura's state, Obito had a bad feeling. He couldn't help but shout, "Sakura, come back!"
However, Obito's reminder didn't get a response from Sakura. She was still immersed in Chen's words. "I never thought of you as friends!"
"Damn it!" Obito gritted his teeth, "I should have stopped it earlier!" Obito was full of regret now, but there was nothing he could do to change the situation.
It was impossible to fight again. Sakura, who had lost her will to fight, was now no different from a crippled person. Coupled with his half-crippled combat power, he could at most take her down with a single finger.
The only thing he could do now was to quickly teleport Sakura away.
"Kamui!"
Obito secretly gathered his strength, slowly condensing his eye power, looking at Sakura, trying to teleport her away.
"You still want to play tricks in front of me?"
Chen snorted coldly, directly interrupting Obito's Kamui. Obito groaned, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. After suffering the backlash, Obito couldn't use Kamui for a short time.
