Chiba, What Was He Planning?

"Clang, clang, clang!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

A barrage of Shuriken collided in an instant. Clouds of white smoke mixed with sparks from the clashing Shuriken spread out, and in the blink of an eye, a belt of white mist obscured the space between the two sides.

"Chiba, watch out!"

Just as the white mist spread and blocked their vision, Kakashi, standing slightly behind and to Chiba's side, suddenly stepped forward. With one pull, he yanked Chiba, whose hands were forming seals, behind him and placed himself in front of Chiba.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!"

At that very moment, four rapidly spinning Shuriken emerged from the spreading white mist in pairs, one above and one below, carving two white arcs through the air. The moment the two steadied themselves, the four Shuriken had already spun past them. The faint gleam of the threads tied to the Shuriken followed their spinning paths, encircling Kakashi.

The next second, Kakashi felt his body tighten. After the Shuriken swiftly circled him several times, the Steel Wire attached to them had already bound him tightly.

This is...

His pupils contracted slightly as four more Kunai fired from within the white mist reflected in his eyes.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

With four crisp rings, the four still-spinning Shuriken were pierced through by the four incoming Kunai and firmly nailed to the ground.

Kakashi felt a pulling force from the Steel Wire and nearly stumbled. The wires wrapped around him tightened, making him frown.

This was what he had used during the Chunin Exams when he fought Chiba...

Sharingan: Windmill Technique!

As the thought flashed through his mind, Kakashi glanced back from the corner of his eye and narrowed his gaze.

Then, the next move should be the Dragon Fire Technique!
