Trap

Kakashi finally arrived at the Iwa Ninja guarded area in the latter half of the night. He carefully controlled his breathing and the amplitude of his movements, hiding in the jungle and observing the actions of the Iwa Ninja.

Kakashi was very clear about the importance of his mission, and he was even clearer about the consequences of taking on this mission himself.

Death, it was terrifying, but not so terrifying. Why couldn't he face death calmly when his best friend Uchiha Obito could?

Although he had Uchiha Obito's entrustment to protect Rin, and although he had his teacher Namikaze Minato's guidance to see the future with Obito's eyes.

But the guilt in his heart and the appearance of Uchiha Kei made him have some decisions. Obito was killed by the Iwa Ninja, so Kakashi naturally wanted revenge.

And Uchiha Kei had saved Kakashi and the others back then. Although his teacher was the one who ultimately solved the problem, Kei, as a fellow member of the Uchiha Clan, gave Kakashi a very good impression and sense of recognition.

They were from the same graduating class, and Kakashi had some impression of this person. Although he wasn't a dead last, he was definitely not a formidable guy.

His performance on the battlefield was also mediocre, but he was able to survive until now, which indicated that Uchiha Kei's strength and abilities were indeed present.

Most importantly, Uchiha Kei had now awakened his Sharingan. With such a person protecting Rin, Kakashi was willing to trust him.

To be safe, he had even handed Namikaze Minato's kunai to Uchiha Kei!

With these assurances, Kakashi believed that as long as he held back these Iwa Ninja and created an opportunity for them, they would definitely be able to enter the enemy's rear and complete the mission, and Rin would not be harmed.

"Obito, perhaps I will join you soon."

Kakashi thought silently, then took a deep breath, immediately formed hand seals, and created four Shadow Clones. He immediately had them transform and scatter.

These four Shadow Clones had divided Kakashi's Chakra equally. Although this made Kakashi very uncomfortable, it could pass for the real thing!

However, this faint burst of Chakra immediately attracted the attention of the Iwa Ninja. But Kakashi didn't care much; his intention was to attract these Iwa Ninja.

It was just that they were discovered so quickly, which indicated that there were indeed many masters on the Iwa Ninja's side, which did not exceed Kakashi's expectations.

Soon, Kakashi discovered that an Iwa Ninja was using a Summoning Technique, likely to transmit intelligence.

"Using Summoning Technique to call for reinforcements?"

Kakashi thought silently, but the next second, Kakashi's face turned extremely pale. A strong whistling sound echoed in his ears, and the next second, Kakashi was directly pierced by a kunai!

"It's over, brat!" At this moment, a voice appeared behind Kakashi, but looking around, there was no one there: "Don't worry, others will join you soon."

The voice sounded somewhat cruel, but when the owner of the voice pulled out the kunai that had pierced Kakashi, the severely injured Kakashi directly turned into a puff of smoke.

"Not good! Substitution Technique? When?"

The owner of the voice was clearly stunned for a moment, but as a whistling sound came from behind him, he immediately made the most reasonable reaction – quickly retreating backward while drawing a kunai to block in the direction of Kakashi's attack.

It had to be said, this guy was indeed an experienced ninja. Although his block was easily seen through by Kakashi's Sharingan.

However, Kakashi's attack did not inflict a fatal blow on him. Because of his timely retreat, Kakashi could only leave a bloody gash on his chest.

"What a damn brat." The owner of the voice slowly emerged, touching the wound on his chest. He examined Kakashi closely: "Sharingan? So that's how it is. My Camouflage Invisibility Technique was seen through by it? What an unexpected gain, a Sharingan."

Kakashi frowned. He hadn't expected to encounter such a guy. This familiar feeling made Kakashi feel a surge of anger.

One of the Iwa Ninja teammates who had killed Obito back then had used this kind of Ninjutsu.

Kakashi took a deep breath, clutching his kunai, ready to attack. But soon, his expression turned grim. He had already sensed that all his Shadow Clones had been dealt with!

As these Iwa Ninja emerged one by one from different directions, a total of four people completely surrounded Kakashi.

Kakashi never expected that his Shadow Clones wouldn't even have the chance to hold them back. Just how terrifying were these people's abilities?

However, Kakashi couldn't afford to think too much. The Chakra consumption from using Shadow Clones had further depleted his already limited Chakra.

Now, Kakashi could only think of a way to stall these people as much as possible, preventing them from relaying information for other Iwa Ninja to retreat.

"Naive brat." An Iwa Ninja suddenly sneered: "Do you think we don't know your tricks? I was wondering who you would send as bait, and I never expected it to be you, Hatake Kakashi."

"." Kakashi remained silent. It was better to focus on recovering his Chakra than to waste words.

"It seems your teammate must be trying to break out somewhere else? I'm sorry, there weren't many people to provide support in the first place, and not long ago, they received information about the whereabouts of several people in another area."

The Iwa Ninja didn't mind Kakashi's silence, instead smiling: "Recovering Chakra? A boring trick. Your fate is already sealed, and so is your teammate's."

"Then, let's see what you've got, and what your plan is."

As soon as the words fell, the four Iwa Ninja launched a surprise attack on Kakashi. Kakashi immediately leaped up, dodging the first wave of attacks.

But Kakashi's mind was in turmoil. He never imagined that his sacrifice would be completely meaningless.

It had to be said that this open ploy by the Iwa Ninja forced Kakashi to try. What Kakashi could do now was still to stall these people and then attempt to break out.

Especially since these Iwa Ninja seemed to be aiming to capture him alive, which gave Kakashi some room to fight back.

Otherwise, Kakashi felt he probably wouldn't last a few rounds. These Iwa Ninja were truly strong.

If his Chakra hadn't been so severely depleted, Kakashi might have been able to hold them off for a while, but now, Kakashi could only describe his situation as "trying."

Taking a deep breath, Kakashi braced himself, determined to find any way possible. But if he truly couldn't.

Then, he could only destroy his left eye before he died! Obito's eyes must never fall into the hands of these people who killed him!
