But something Kakashi hadn't expected happened. The Mu Yue before him turned into white smoke and vanished just like his Shadow Clone had, and no bells fell to the ground.
"It's a Shadow Clone!"
Kakashi's pupils contracted sharply. He immediately wanted to slash behind him, but the moment the thought arose, a cold kunai pressed against his neck.
"When you use Shadow Clone tactics yourself, you should also consider whether the enemy might be using the same tactic." Mu Yue appeared behind Kakashi as he spoke.
"After all, I'm not in your line of sight every moment."
Kakashi fell silent. He had just lectured Obito about not being reckless, yet now he was the one being taught a lesson.
Hearing that Kakashi had been criticized, Obito rushed over at once to mock him.
"The enemy already vanished right in front of your eyes, yet you charged in without even looking carefully. If Mu Yue-sensei had been an enemy, you'd already be dead," Obito said bluntly.
Seeing Kakashi fail as well made the pain in Obito's body seem much less severe.
His own failure didn't matter as long as Kakashi hadn't succeeded either.
"At least I took out Captain Hanyu's Shadow Clone. That's still better than getting beaten flat without even touching him," Kakashi immediately shot back when he heard Obito using his own words against him.
Mu Yue merely smiled without speaking. With the current Kakashi, Obito, and Might Guy, if he did not hold back, even his Shadow Clone could easily deal with all of them.
Since Kakashi was someone Hiruzen Sarutobi had specifically mentioned, Mu Yue did not think Hiruzen Sarutobi would be bored enough to spend several hours watching them take the Bell Test. Still, to be safe, he did not reveal too much of his strength,
