This is Fate

"He went to chase Zetsu."

Konan interjected from the side, her expression shifting from initial astonishment, surprise, and sorrow to her usual calm, but her eyes, once filled with panic and lifelessness from not finding Nagato, now held a hint of vitality.

"..."

Lin Ke paused, then said, "Thank you."

Jiraiya seemed to want to say something to his two disciples, and stood up with a very complicated expression.

Akatsuki had become a terrifying organization that harbored rogue ninja. He had thought all three of his disciples were dead, but now he saw the deceased Yahiko and the still-living Konan.

What about Nagato? The boy with the Rinnegan who might have become the child of prophecy?

Lin Ke checked Kakashi and Guy Teacher's injuries.

[Guy Teacher is seriously injured, but it's not a big problem. Kakashi's eye was taken. As expected...]

He knew things might get troublesome next.

Reincarnated people can't have eyes implanted, but there are too many ways to use the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Uchiha Itachi could use a crow, and it would be ridiculous if Uchiha Madara couldn't use so many White Zetsu. Implanting them into White Zetsu, adding a Cursed Seal, he could use them however he wanted.

With the Sharingan's plug-and-play nature, using Kamui wouldn't be difficult for him.

[No wonder Uchiha Obito fled in embarrassment with Nagato on his back. With Kamui, Madara probably took out his Kamui Dimension lair.]

Lin Ke couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Obito being tricked by Kakashi again.

This is fate.

After laughing, he had to think about a realistic problem. Rashomon·Senju Hashirama couldn't exist permanently, but Impure World Reincarnation·Uchiha Madara could continue to be a pain. If, as he initially thought, Madara used Kamui to drag things out for more than five hours, could anyone in the world really deal with the reincarnated Madara? Yes, there were.

Lin Ke sighed, gave Kakashi, whose injuries weren't too severe, a quick heal, then turned to pull the Black Rod out of Might Guy's body.

He didn't feel much resistance, probably because Uchiha Madara, who was fighting the fully powered Senju Hashirama, didn't have time to continue controlling Might Guy.

Black Rods, as long as they weren't Truth-Seeking Ball Black Rods, were just Chakra receivers. They needed the person connected to the Black Rod to transmit Chakra for control and interference. Otherwise, even ordinary Konoha researchers could easily pull them out in the manga.

Maximum Effect·Mystical Palm Technique.

He used more than 60% of his Chakra in one go. If he didn't get Guy Teacher back on his feet, and things dragged on for too long, when Rashomon's time ended, he could only rely on the Eight Gates Formation.

This was a team battle daddy!

[Guy Teacher has a lot of hidden injuries in addition to the battle wounds. It's a bit troublesome. He's really too reckless. He should have come to me for treatment with so many hidden injuries.]

Lin Ke swallowed two Soldier Pills, gasped for breath, and continued.

Just like treating Xiao Li, if he went all out, popping pills and releasing energy, even the most serious injuries would be nothing in a moment. As long as they weren't dead, he could pull them back.

At this moment, he missed Utakata a little. Having a power bank was much better than popping pills himself.

[Still not awake?]

Lin Ke looked at Might Guy and Kakashi, who had basically returned to a healthy state but were still unconscious, and pondered slightly.

Besides being a bit weak, the two of them should be fine. Their unconsciousness might be due to some kind of Cursed Seal.

"Leave it to me." Jiraiya, having finished catching up with his two disciples, walked over with a grave expression. He placed his hand on Kakashi's chest and glanced at Lin Ke with a hint of surprise.

He knew best about the extent of their injuries, yet they had been almost completely healed in such a short time. The level of Medical Ninjutsu was quite high.

He focused and refined his Chakra, and the Incantation at his fingertips spread across Kakashi's body.

Release! After dealing with one, Jiraiya swayed, but Lin Ke steadied him by the shoulder. He quickly experienced the effects of the Mystical Palm Technique.

His severely damaged body miraculously recovered, unlike conventional Medical Ninjutsu. There was no healing process at all; it was as if he had been restored out of thin air, which was a bit too outrageous.

This technique? He resisted the urge to say something, his face regaining color. He glanced at Konan and the dead Yahiko not far away, who might leak information, and planned to take his disciples back to Konoha later.

While Jiraiya was thinking, he didn't stop working. Soon, the technique on Might Guy was also dispelled.

"Ugh..."

Hatake Kakashi sat up from the ground. Due to the battle and being captured, his mask was gone, revealing a handsome face. A dazed expression flashed across his face, but his Jonin instincts allowed him to quickly assess the situation. He stood up, supporting his still-weak body.

"Wada!"

"Thump!"

Might Guy woke up even faster. The moment the technique was dispelled, he opened his eyes and threw a punch, accurately hitting Jiraiya's nose.

"Ah, sorry, sorry." He sat up, looking very energetic, his body feeling lighter than ever. He scratched the back of his head and apologized.

Jiraiya, covering his bleeding nose, said with a grim face, "Reinforcements from the village have arrived. In any case, prepare to retreat."

He hadn't figured out what was going on outside. He had initially infiltrated with Orochimaru, and then stayed inside the building. He didn't have the ability to fly, so he couldn't watch the divine battle like Konan. He only sensed two particularly strong Chakras fighting in the distance, but he had no idea what was happening.

Without intelligence, the best approach was not to be a burden. No one could interfere in the battle with Uchiha Madara. No matter how curious he was about who the reinforcements Konoha had found were, he couldn't join the fun.

"Wait," Lin Ke said, having recovered somewhat. "Tsunade-sama and my friend are still here. The First Hokage-sama is fighting outside."

"???" X5 Jiraiya was the quickest to react. Now was not the time to care about why the First Hokage had appeared. He said, "I'll go and meet up with Tsunade." Whether it was Orochimaru or Tsunade, he cared about them both.

With that, he used the Body Flicker Technique and left.

Konan stood next to Yahiko and said in a calm tone, "Lin Ke, can we talk alone?"

Hatake Kakashi covered his empty eye socket, glanced at his friend next to him, and silently retreated, refining Chakra and scouting the surroundings.

Might Guy belatedly turned around and chased after him.

"Konan..." Yahiko's expression was a bit worried. As a deceased person, he should theoretically trust his friend, but the other party was the Pure Land Great Deceiver. What if his innocent and pure sister was deceived? Konan gave him a firm look. He stood in place, hesitated again and again, and sighed helplessly as he floated away.

Like an old father, he floated not far away, watching with a worried face.

Finally, it was quiet. Konan was silent for a few seconds, then said, "How can you—"

Just as she spoke, Lin Ke's expression suddenly changed. "Come with me. We'll talk later."

He sensed Senju Tobirama's Chakra fluctuating.

He couldn't let that kid get into trouble, or else there would be no way to explain it to the village and the First Hokage.

Thinking this, he used the Body Flicker Technique and left.
