At the side, a group of Uchiha looked at the two people's conversation with some confusion.
Uchiha Soma said, "Hey, you two, what exactly happened? Acting like you're enemies of the world?"
"Clearly, if anyone should be enemies of the world, it should be us Uchiha!"
Kakashi seemed to sense something and said calmly, "Weren't you all looking to settle scores with me?"
"But those who want to settle scores with me aren't just you. They've already arrived."
As soon as the words fell, the sound of dense footsteps came from all directions of the forest and then came to a halt.
It was the pursuers from the Five Great Villages.
This group of pursuers had just arrived and were also stunned.
A group of red-eyed people were blocking the path of Kakashi and Rin, what exactly was going on?
Because all the pursuers were shinobi of the younger generation, their impression of the Uchiha was already a distant legend. For a moment, they couldn't recognize them.
Uchiha Soma saw this and pointed at himself with some confusion, saying to the group of low-level shinobi wearing Allied Forces forehead protectors, "What, you don't recognize me? Or rather, don't recognize these eyes of mine?"
The leading Iwagakure jonin said impatiently, "This is an operation by the Five Great Villages' shinobi. Irrelevant people, please leave quickly!"
"The two people in front of you are the greatest war criminals in the shinobi world. If you choose to remain here, we can only consider you as accomplices and eliminate you without mercy!"
The eyes of the group of Uchiha turned even redder than before.
Many Uchiha laughed loudly, and the laughter spread into a chorus.
"Hahaha, the current shinobi don't even recognize the three-tomoe?"
"The name of our Uchiha has weakened to this level?"
"This brat's got guts. Since I was born, I've never seen the Five Great Villages act so arrogant in front of us Uchiha."
Compared to the other Uchiha, Uchiha Soma was slightly more rational. He simply pointed at Kakashi and Rin and asked the group of shinobi, "You say they're the greatest war criminals of the shinobi world? But what I see is, among them, the girl doesn't even have the strength to truss a chicken."
"Even we held back because of this and didn't make a move right away. What gives you the right to bully a little girl?"
The leading Iwagakure jonin finally reacted, "Three-tomoe Sharingan… So you're remnants of the annihilated Uchiha clan. No wonder your bodies bear the cracks of Edo Tensei."
Speaking of this, the Iwagakure jonin looked at Rin with a twisted expression, "Heh, weak as she may be, it was because of her that the Allied Forces nearly suffered total annihilation. I can't wait to tear her apart. You bunch of dead people should stay in the land of the dead and not meddle in the affairs of the living."
Uchiha Soma was so angered he laughed. Suddenly remembering something, he turned his head and said to Rin, "Little girl, you're also an Edo Tensei, right? When did you die?"
Rin was stunned. She didn't understand why this group of Uchiha were suddenly questioning her?
But this wasn't something she couldn't answer, so she honestly replied, "During the Third Great War, Kirigakure planted the Three-Tails inside my body. Fearing it would bring harm to the village, I chose to die by a comrade's hand."
Uchiha Soma nodded, "Little girl, before I died, I was a member of the Dog Village Police Force. I never received any dismissal order, so in theory, I still have to fulfill that duty."
"Of course, the scope of that duty is only on the night of that day. Since you died before that night, then you should fall under my jurisdiction."
Uchiha Soma shouted loudly, "Members of the Dog Village Police Department, step forward. Do you still wish to protect the safety of Dog Village's citizens?"
A group of Uchiha burst out laughing, "Of course. How could a Dog Village citizen be harmed under our watch?"
"That's right. We won't care about the current Dog Village people, but the former ones, how could we not?"
"Duty is duty, no shirking it!"
Just like that, many Uchiha stepped forward and blocked in front of Rin.
Rin suddenly felt very reassured.
Though this group of Uchiha hated the Hidden Leaf Village deeply, calling it "Dog Village" with every sentence,
Still, as members of the police department, they seemed as emotionless and strict as ever...
Kakashi never imagined things would turn out like this in the end. He had no other words, only said sincerely, "Thank you."
The pursuers from the Five Great Villages, seeing this, were also enraged. The leading Iwagakure jonin couldn't hold back anymore and said, "Very well. I'd like to see for myself how powerful the legendary Sharingan really is!"
The others couldn't help but chime in, "If it were truly that powerful, they wouldn't have been wiped out. Even the world-destroying Uchiha Obito abandoned the Sharingan and used the Rinnegan instead. Just shows how weak the Sharingan is."
"Hahaha!"
"Everyone charge! If we couldn't deal with Uchiha Obito, surely we can handle a bunch of Uchiha ghosts?"
Just like that, these young and reckless shinobi charged at the group of crimson three-tomoe Sharingan...
And then... there was no "and then."
This group didn't even reach the point of close combat and fell to the ground one after another, each face showing various expressions of fear, as if they had seen something terrifying.
Uchiha Soma shook his head and sighed with a voice full of desolation, "Does the current shinobi handbook not even include the warning to avoid eye contact when facing the Uchiha?"
Kakashi grew embarrassed and explained, "Maybe it's written, they just didn't pay attention. After all, the new generation of shinobi have forgotten the terror of the three-tomoe."
Soma nodded, then looked toward Kakashi, squinting, "I only protect the Dog Village people who died in the past, you're not included in that."
"Tell me. Where is Uchiha Obito now? Take me to the battlefield, and I'll let this go."
Kakashi revealed a trace of helplessness, "Obito... I don't even know what state he's in now. Rin being resurrected through Edo Tensei probably made him very angry. I advise you not to make things worse."
Soma furrowed his brow in displeasure, "What, are the words of us Uchiha so powerless now?"
Just at that moment, suddenly, a golden flash appeared next to Kakashi, it was Minato who had arrived.
Kakashi was startled and couldn't help asking, "Sensei Minato, why are you here?"
But Minato simply placed his hand on Kakashi and Rin's shoulders, "No time to explain. Come with me. If we don't leave now, the shinobi world is finished!"
After speaking, there was another flash, and Minato took Kakashi and Rin and disappeared.
The group of Uchiha stared at each other. What just happened?
Only after a moment did they come to their senses.
"Damn it! The Fourth Hokage actually ran away with them!"
