"Wait~~"
Just as Kakashi and Hao Shuai were ready to spring into action, a hearty voice rang out from afar.
As the voice faded, four people came running toward them at high speed.
"Kakashi, Hao Shuai! How could you leave me out of such a passionate battle?!"
The voice arrived before the person did.
No need to say more~
Only Might Guy would say something so embarrassingly dramatic.
Sure enough, a moment later, Might Guy, dressed all in green, arrived at the training ground with Tenten, Rock Lee, and Neji.
"Shut up, Guy~~" Kakashi seemed to know what Might Guy was about to say and cut him off first. "This is a fight between him and me. Stay out of it~~"
"Uh~ all right!" Might Guy had no idea Kakashi was already seething. After Kakashi snapped at him, he could only obediently stand aside.
"Come on!" With no one getting in the way, Kakashi's fighting spirit began to surge. He crossed his palms, rolled his wrists, and limbered up on the spot.
"Then I won't hold back."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Hao Shuai was already in front of Kakashi. Twisting his body slightly, he launched a swift kick at Kakashi's abdomen. He moved so fast he became a blur, and a sonic boom rang through the air.
Kakashi's pupils contracted. His mask had already fallen, revealing his crimson Sharingan, but even that wasn't enough to track the approaching figure.
A slow start meant falling further and further behind.
That was the predicament Kakashi now faced: he had been dragged into the quagmire of Hao Shuai's close-quarters combat.
Faced with Hao Shuai's incredible speed and immense strength, Kakashi could only wield a kunai and barely fend off his attacks.
Clang, clang, clang~~
The collision of kunai and
