At the sound of a voice, Itachi Uchiha appeared with a long blade in hand. He walked toward Kakashi and mercilessly drove the blade through his heart.
Excruciating pain surged from Kakashi's chest, and cold sweat broke out across his face.
"Ah~~ Ah~~"
At last, Kakashi could bear it no longer. He opened his mouth and screamed.
The same thing happened over and over. When the seventy-two hours in the Tsukuyomi realm finally ended, Kakashi returned to the real world—but he immediately passed out, his eyes still shut.
With their eyes closed, Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi could only hear Kakashi's scream. After that, there was no sound at all, leaving the two of them anxious.
"Kisame, we should go. Get rid of all three of them!" Itachi Uchiha said, afraid that dragging things out might lead to trouble.
As soon as Itachi Uchiha finished speaking, Kisame Hoshigaki, who had been standing around doing nothing, hefted his massive sword and charged toward Kakashi.
"Foshan Shadowless Kick!"
Just then, Hao Shuai suddenly appeared in front of Kakashi and the others. He kicked the charging Kisame Hoshigaki flying.
"Kakashi, I'm not too late, am I?" Hao Shuai asked Kakashi, who was panting heavily and unconscious from the mental trauma.
Kakashi: "..."
The only answer Hao Shuai got was Kakashi's tightly shut eyes and labored breathing.
It seemed that after taking a hit from Tsukuyomi, Kakashi had completely lost consciousness.
"Asuma, you two can open your eyes now," Hao Shuai said, only then noticing that something was wrong with Kakashi.
"Kakashi said only the Sharingan could counter the Sharingan, so we kept our eyes closed," Kurenai Yuhi replied.
"Bullshit! If the Sharingan were really that powerful, the Uchiha Clan would've conquered the shinobi world instead of being wiped out!" Hao Shuai scoffed.
