Because Orochimaru's expression was far too obvious, Yuhara easily guessed what he was thinking... Orochimaru was suffering from an occupational hazard: whenever he saw rare materials, he couldn't take a step, and had to conduct some human research to satisfy himself.

There was no doubt that Yuhara would never allow Orochimaru to attack Kakashi. On one hand, it was a matter of their positions; on the other, it was a matter of feelings. Er, don't misunderstand. What this meant was that a ninja with Kakashi's personality was destined to become an excellent tool.

Kakashi's way of thinking and acting was absurdly upright even among ninjas. He also possessed an extremely strong spirit of devotion, even self-sacrifice. For example, whenever he encountered an extremely dangerous situation, he was the kind of person who would willingly stay behind to cover the retreat. How could anyone abandon such a wonderful teammate?

According to Yuhara's earlier thoughts, since everyone had come to steal the mission, and his side had already secured it with almost no possibility of losing it, then wouldn't it be better for everyone to act rationally and withdraw separately to avoid injury?

Unfortunately, Orochimaru was not a particularly rational person, and Kakuzu was even less so.

Since Orochimaru wanted to clash, Yuhara simply decided to clash with him. Thus, he began buffing himself.

When dealing with an opponent like Orochimaru, whose attacks were impossible to predict, sensory ability was the most important thing. Yuhara began focusing on absorbing and using a specific kind of Nature Energy, activating his special sensory mode, "Mina Shikyō."

"Should we run?" Kakashi asked.

"It'll be difficult to succeed. We'll have to fight first," Yuhara said. He knew that directly engaging in a linear deadly chase against an opponent of Orochimaru's level would make escape difficult.
