The Return to the Earth (Part Two)

"Damn it, Kakashi recognized me!" Rin Nohara whispered to Tobi.

From Kakashi's astonished gaze, she had already guessed a great many things.

"Let's go!"

Without another word, Tobi grabbed the girl's hand and prepared to leave the stands.

At the same time, seeing Kakashi lose himself in thought, Naruto Uzumaki asked in surprise, "Kakashi-sensei, what's wrong?"

His shout brought Kakashi back to his senses, and he also saw the two people hurriedly preparing to leave.

"Stay here and don't wander off. I'm going out for a bit!" After hastily warning his two students, Kakashi immediately vanished in a burst of speed.

He had to intercept those two suspicious people as quickly as possible.

Although the mask kept him from being certain who those eyes belonged to, he still couldn't help wanting to confirm it.

Especially after seeing the two of them acting strangely and preparing to leave in such a hurry, his suspicions only grew stronger.

Whatever happened, he had to stop them first.

Qi Shuang, who was sitting in the competitors' section as well, was surprised to see Kakashi suddenly leave, but she didn't pay it much mind, assuming he had encountered some urgent matter.

For now, carefully observing the next generation's level in the training ground was more important.

On the other side, because the stands were packed with people, Kakashi had to struggle through the crowd with enormous difficulty before reaching the spot where the two suspicious figures had been sitting.

Unfortunately, after looking around, he could no longer find any trace of them.

Helpless, he cut his finger and drew a bloodstained line across his right palm.

After a dazzling series of hand seals, he slammed his palm onto the ground.

"Summoning Technique!"

The black mark transformed into a pattern, spreading outward from beneath his palm.
