Attack

Meanwhile, at the village entrance!

Minato and Kosuke were carefully searching for any traces, but unfortunately, the entire village had been burned down, and everything had been consumed by the fire. The two searched around but found nothing.

Kosuke flipped over a piece of wood, raising a cloud of black dust. He quickly waved his hand, creating a gust of wind to disperse the dust, and said, "Minato, this fire has burned everything to the ground; nothing is left."

"Yes," Minato replied from the side, "Now we can only see if Yemo and Kakashi can find any useful information."

"Speaking of Yemo and Kakashi, it seems like it's been a while since they came back. Why haven't they returned yet? This village isn't that big," Kosuke said as he retreated from the ruins.

Minato didn't even turn his head, saying, "Who knows what those two are doing? This village isn't big; if something really happens, we'll know immediately."

Suddenly, before Minato could finish speaking, several whooshing sounds came from behind him, heading straight for Minato. Not only Minato, but Kosuke was also attacked at the same time.

Faced with this sudden attack, Minato remained calm and showed no panic. He reacted quickly, turning around and repelling the attack, his Kunai slipping from his sleeve into his palm.

Thud... Thud...

Minato swiftly brandished his Kunai, and with several crisp sounds, all the incoming projectiles were Kunai by Minato and fell to the ground. Only then did Minato realize that the projectiles were irregularly shaped white objects made of an unknown material.

Compared to Minato, Kosuke's counterattack was more ferocious. He waved his hand and shot out four Kunai, not only deflecting all the incoming projectiles but also Kunai them in the direction from which they came.

Each of the four Kunai had an Explosive Tag tied to its back. The Kunai were stuck into the rocks, and the explosive tags were immediately activated, resulting in a huge explosion. Orange-yellow flames and thick smoke billowed out, and a hurricane swept in, carrying dust and sand that blew onto Kosuke and Minato's faces.

The two stared intently at the explosion, for at the moment of its eruption, they both sensed the fluctuations in Chakra. Sure enough, the next second, two dark figures burst through the thick smoke and flew out.

On this side, Yemo and Kakashi, who were about to return to the village entrance, also saw the huge explosion. The ground trembled, and thick smoke rose from the explosion like a long dragon. A powerful hurricane swept down the street.

"Something's wrong at the village entrance!"

Yemo's expression changed, and without saying a word, he immediately took off running, rushing along the road towards the village entrance. Kakashi followed closely behind.

"Earth Release: Moving Earth Core!"

However, the two had only been running for a short while when suddenly the ground trembled, and the street in front of Yemo high into the air, blocking their path and forcing them to stop.

Amidst a burst of laughter, a figure appeared atop the earthen wall. Yemo looked up against the sunlight and saw that the man was dressed in white with two thick rope knots around his waist. He had a ferocious smile on his face, two red dots on his eyebrows, and a strange hairstyle with two high-piled ends.

The man who suddenly blocked his way said, "Those two guys Maro companion, are really boring. They went to deal with the Jonin of Konoha, leaving me with two brats. Kids, I hope you can provide me with some fun. Don't die too quickly, that would be too boring."

Yemo snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. It was still uncertain who the hunter and the prey were.

Turning to Kakashi, he said, "Kakashi, this guy is likely Jonin from some clan. His strength shouldn't be underestimated. Let's test him first. If we're no match for him, we'll hold him off while we wait for Minato and the others to arrive."

Minato and Kosuke are both powerful Elite Jonin. Even Jonin are no match for them. If the two of them join forces, even the Kage of the Five Great Villages might not be able to defeat them. Yemo can already guess the fate of the two partners this guy mentioned.

"What if we can defeat this guy?" Kakashi asked rhetorically, slowly drawing the White Light Chakra Sabre he inherited from his father.

With a slight smirk, Yemo said domineeringly, "That goes without saying, of course we'll crush this guy and show him that even a brat can defy the heavens."

"It's rare that we two have reached the same idea!" Kakashi glanced at Yemo and said calmly. Although Yemo's words were rough, they expressed what Kakashi was thinking.

Upon hearing this, Yemo smiled slightly. What did Kakashi mean by that? Was it a verbal acknowledgment?

Seeing that the two brats showed no fear and were even talking about taking advantage of him, the man on the earthen wall was furious. He, a dignified Jonin, Jonin being looked down upon by two brats. If word got out, people would laugh their heads off. He roared, "You two brats, young people these days are too arrogant. You don't know how big the world is. I, Ikeda, will make you taste the most painful way to die in the world!"

A gentle breeze swept across the street, and suddenly the world seemed to stand still. An aura of power emanated from Yemo and Kakashi's frail figures, soaring into the sky and stirring up the wind and clouds.

"Then let me give it a try!"

Yemo slowly raised his head to look at Ikeda, who had revealed his name above him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he uttered a soft utterance. The disdain in his eyes was like the sharpest blade piercing Ikeda's heart, making Ikeda furious.

The moment the words left his mouth, Yemo pushed off with both legs and shot out at incredible speed, closing in on the high wall in just a few flashes.

Seeing Yemo approach, Ikeda sneered and was about to make a move to show this brat his power and make him regret what he had just said.

Just then, several whooshing sounds rang out, and five kunai gleaming with a cold Kunai rushed towards Ikeda. It turned out that Kakashi had taken the opportunity to launch Kunai at Ikeda.

At the same time, Yemo stepped onto the earthen wall and leaped towards Ikeda. One drew attention while the other attacked. Although it was the first time Yemo and Kakashi had fought together, their teamwork was exceptionally smooth.

"Trying to draw my attention and create an opportunity for another brat? Good idea, but you're overestimating your abilities."

With a loud shout, Ikeda drew a long white sword from somewhere and brandished it, knocking away all the Kunai that Kakashi had shot out with a few swings.

"A great opportunity!"

At this moment, Yemo had already approached Ikeda. Ikeda had just knocked away the Kunai, and it was the perfect opportunity for him to defend himself. Yemo's eyes lit up, and he raised the Kunai and thrust it straight at Ikeda's neck.

Faced with Yemo's attack, Ikeda remained calm and even showed a disdainful expression. He raised his left palm and aimed it at Yemo. With a whoosh, a white spike emerged from his palm and stabbed straight at Yemo's forehead.

"What!"

Seeing this, Yemo's expression changed drastically, Chunin shock, "What the hell is this? A rapidly elongating sharp cone is emerging from my palm! Is this guy even human?"

"Hey, hey, you're kidding me, right?" Kakashi stared in disbelief at what was happening above. Even if Kakashi rushed over, it would be too late. He could only watch helplessly as the white spike pierced towards Yemo's forehead.

Ah...

Yemo let out a scream, and like a kite with a broken string, he tumbled several times in the sky before crashing heavily to the ground with a loud thud.

"Yemo!"

Kakashi yelled and rushed out, arriving at the deep crater where Yemo had landed. The impact was so strong that Yemo had smashed a large crater into the ground.

The pit was filled with rubble, completely burying Yemo. Kakashi knelt down and frantically dug at the soil in the pit with both hands.

Suddenly, with a soft "poof, "Yemo sat up from the rubble, panting heavily. He glanced at Kakashi beside him and laughed, "Don't scream like you're dying. This kind of attack can't kill me, Yemo."
