Are we going to split into teams again?
Baki is now filled with dread about the word 'squad'.
Baki and Kakashi carried out two missions together, but in both missions, Kakashi proposed splitting up into teams.
Even more coincidentally, in both of these separate operations, the enemy attacked Baki and his group, and then Kakashi arrived to provide support...
The first time was alright; Might Guy used his ultimate skill right away, and Kakashi and the others had already returned to provide support, so it was a close call.
However, this time... well! The same coincidence, only this time it was Hinata who unleashed her Hinata, temporarily scaring the enemy away.
The people of Konoha seem to only know how to unleash their ultimate attacks...
If this were a team... Baki wasn't sure if he'd be so lucky.
After all Baki, Kankuro, Temari are already badly injured. Although Temari has her own special move, it's unlikely she'll pose a significant threat to the enemy.
In the battle just now, Temari also used the special move 'Summoning Technique - Slash Dance', but she was unable to break through the Third Kazekage's Iron Sand defense and was unable to cause any damage to the enemy.
Baki analyzed in a deep voice. "Although the enemy's target is the war reparations, their organization has not yet been exposed. In order to conceal the organization's intelligence, we have also become their target."
"Therefore... I disagree with splitting into teams!"
Kakashi frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Baki's words made some sense; the Akatsuki's actions had been very secretive, clearly indicating that they were plotting a major conspiracy.
In this situation, killing someone to silence them is indeed a good way to hide.
"Under normal circumstances, it takes us sixteen hours to cross the Land of Rivers ... According to the original plan, we set off in the morning and will arrive at the border of the Land of Fire by evening."
"But..."
Kakashi glanced at the three Sand Village members and said calmly, "Although you are already covered in wounds, we cannot rest. We must cross the Land of Rivers immediately."
Baki said in a deep voice, "Although the enemy also suffered losses, apart from the last person to appear, the other three were actually unharmed..."
"If I were them, we would launch a second attack very quickly after regrouping..."
"The two attacks will not be more than an hour apart!"
After glancing at Hinata, Baki continued, "Now that our intelligence has been exposed, the enemy will adjust their battle plans accordingly."
"Our combat strength is not superior, so the choice of opponent next time will be up to them!"
Kakashi said calmly, "That's precisely why we have to risk our lives!"
"Wind God, Thunder God! You two carry Kankuro and Temari on your backs... Baki! You are no longer able to fight. Even if you come with us, you will only be a burden."
"You must return to the Land of Wind immediately and gather ninjas at the Land of Wind to come and support us."
Baki thought for a moment and nodded slightly. This arrangement was quite reasonable.
"After this, I hope that Konoha and Sand Village can exchange information about the Akatsuki... I think neither of us needs to hide anything about the enemy."
Baki solemnly entrusted, "I'm counting on Kankuro and Temari... Kakashi!"
Kakashi nodded and said, "Don't worry!"
"... Let's take action!"
After saying that, Hinata and Kakashi continued running towards Konoha. After watching Hinata group leave, Baki returned to the Land of Wind alone.
The group is currently not far from the Land of Wind, but since the two sides are going in opposite directions, the Sand Village's reinforcements may arrive very late.
Baki glanced back and thought to himself, "I must persevere!"
Hinata and her Hinata moved quickly through the woods.
Upon reaching Kakashi's side, Hinata asked with concern, "Teacher Kakashi, are you alright?"
Kakashi was already panting heavily; the burden of the Sharingan was too great. If he hadn't persevered through sheer willpower, Kakashi might have collapsed.
Kakashi shook his head slightly, glanced at Hinata, a smile playing on his lips in his right eye, and said softly, "I'm fine."
Hinata pouted and said, "Don't try to be tough on yourself!"
Kakashi did not answer.
At this point, if we don't persevere, we'll just have to wait to die.
Hinata's eyes became slightly serious, and her little face turned earnest.
"Teacher Kakashi..."
"Kindness?"
"I've made up my mind... I'm going to develop a new ultimate technique before the Akatsuki's second attack."
"What?"
Kakashi looked completely bewildered.
Hinata, what did you say?
The four members of Akatsuki are likely hiding nearby right now. Once they have adjusted their state and arranged new tactics, the second attack will begin immediately.
Baki judged that the Akatsuki's second attack would take an hour, but that might still be an underestimation of their efficiency.
The people from Sunagakure had only been in the Land of Rivers for a short time when they were attacked by members of the Akatsuki.
The location of the attack was very close to the Land of Wind.
That guy who can steal other people's hearts will definitely go to the Land of Wind to steal the hearts of the Sand Ninja for his own use.
Baki... Kakashi is a little worried.
In addition, there is one flying ninja among the four Akatsuki members.
It's possible that the Akatsuki will launch a second attack soon.
And then you tell me you have to develop a new Ninjutsu within an hour?
Do you think I'll believe that?
Hinata didn't care what Kakashi was really thinking, but in Hinata's view, the so-called new special move was nothing more than coming up with a plausible idea.
With a reasonable idea, Hinata could easily develop new Ninjutsu given her control over Chakra.
The Akatsuki is very powerful, so the decisive factor must be based on Senjutsu Mode.
Only Senjutsu could possibly decide the outcome in a single strike.
Hinata's current techniques are all based on the 'Twenty Gods Vacuum Attack'.
Even the so-called 'Forty Gods Vacuum Attack' is just 'Twenty Gods Vacuum Attack' incorporating Natural Energy.
Chakra Fist is the foundation of all of Hinata's Ninjutsu.
In fact, as Chakra ninja of the Hyuga Clan, Hinata can release Chakra not only through her hands, but also through all the pressure points on her body.
It's just that it's difficult to achieve in terms of specific control.
However, Sage Mode has another advantage: it can enhance a ninja's control over Chakra and improve the sustainability of Ninjutsu.
When Naruto first mastered the Rasenshuriken, it was only a close-combat Ninjutsu.
However, in Sage Mode, it can be thrown remotely.
While Natural Energy is incredibly powerful, it is actually easier for ninjas to control if it is fused into Senjutsu Chakra.
So Hinata wondered if she could maintain the Chakra overflowing from all the acupoints in her body while in Sage Mode.
Without delay, Hinata immediately gathered Chakra Fist and quickly absorbed Natural Energy to enter Sage Mode.
Kakashi asked in confusion, "Hinata, what are you doing?"
"Try this!"
Hinata a low shout, controlling the pressure points on her back to release Chakra, which Chakra then condensed into the shape of wings...
'Huff huff...'
Hinata flapped her wings twice, and instantly took flight.
