"A formidable foe? Interesting!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Yue's reminder, Hatake Kakashi showed no sign of panic; instead, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

However, Uchiha Yue's expression was completely different from Hatake Kakashi's at this moment. His eyes were filled with a solemn look, clearly indicating that he had realized that the earlier attack by the refugees was merely a trap set by the powerful enemy in front of him to lure them in. Moreover, Uchiha Yue's spiritual energy was immense. The moment the powerful enemy appeared, Uchiha Yue's Purple Eye perceived the opponent's actions and even sensed the opponent's strength, which was very likely at the Jonin level!

"Kakashi, don't be careless, that could very well be Jonin!"

Suddenly noticing Hatake Kakashi about to attack the powerful enemy, Hatake Kakashi Uchiha Yue stopped him, whispering something to him. While Hatake Kakashi had Uchiha Yue's warning, Hyuga Yexing and Hyuga Xiyun weren't so lucky. Immediately afterward, Uchiha Yue saw Hatake Kakashi Hyuga Yexing and Hyuga Xiyun, despite their exhaustion, charge at the newly appeared enemy, seemingly intent on killing him.

Then, without giving Uchiha Tsuki and Hatake Kakashi a chance to warn them, Hyuga Yexing Uchiha Yue and Hyuga Xiyun engaged in battle with the powerful enemy. Unfortunately, Hyuga Yexing and Hyuga Xiyun had already exhausted their Chakra and were only relying on their remaining stamina to sustain the fight. The next second, the powerful enemy, who had closed in on Hyuga Yexing and Hyuga Xiyun, gave them almost no time to react before drawing his sword and severely injuring these two new generation elites of the Hyuga Clan!

"So fast!"

Seeing the speed at which that formidable enemy drew his sword, even Hatake Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Yue, that guy seems to be a ninja proficient in Jonin. The fact that he could severely injure those two members of the Hyuga Clan in an instant means that even if the two of us team up, we might not be able to defeat him with certainty!"

"Yes, that's true."

Hatake Kakashi finished speaking, Uchiha Yue nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "Kakashi, do you have the guts to fight that guy with me? You know, that guy is Jonin -level ninja, a completely different level of strength from us two Genin Konoha. If you don't have the guts, go back to Minato and Kushina! I don't want to have to worry about protecting you while I'm fighting that guy!"

"Hmph, Yue, you underestimate me!"

Just as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, the arrogant Hatake Kakashi snorted coldly and immediately prepared to join him in battle. However, what Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi needed to do now was not to defeat the newly appeared Jonin, but to rescue Hyuga Yexing and Hyuga Xiyun, two of the Hyuga Clan's rising elites. Moreover, Uchiha Yue also somewhat puzzled at this moment: why hadn't Hyuga Hiashi made a move yet?

Keep in mind that Hyuga Yexing and Hyuga Xiyun are both elites of the new Hyuga Clan. Is Hyuga Hiashi really going to just stand by and watch them die a tragic death?

Clearly, Uchiha Yue was unaware that Hyuga Hiashi had already seen through the Jonin's scheme and had even hinted to Hyuga Yexing and Hyuga Xiyun to fall into the Jonin's trap, all to lure Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi into battle and use the Jonin's sword to kill them. However, seeing Hyuga Yexing Uchiha Yue Hyuga Xiyun Hatake Kakashi in pools of blood, a hint of reluctance still flashed in Hyuga Hiashi's eyes.

Immediately afterwards...

To Hyuga Hiashi's surprise, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki stood with their arms crossed, showing no intention of helping Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi. Seeing this, Hyuga Hiashi was filled with questions. He then brought Hyuga Anya the two and asked, "Minato, Kushina, aren't you going to save your team's Genin? Judging by that ninja's strength, he seems to be at least Jonin level. Are you just going to watch your subordinates die at their hands?"

"Hiashi, you don't need to worry."

Hearing Hyuga Hiashi's words, Minato Namikaze smiled slightly and said, "Both Tsuki-kun and Kakashi are quite strong, but unfortunately they only graduated from the Ninja Academy not long ago, and their combat experience is still somewhat lacking. Recently, Tsuki-kun and Kakashi's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and I think they already possess the ability to handle Jonin. Right now, that Jonin can provide a good opportunity to hone Tsuki-kun and Kakashi, allowing them to accumulate more experience fighting against strong opponents."

"Only..."

At this, a serious look appeared in Minato Namikaze's eyes. He then continued speaking to Hyuga Hiashi, "But Hiashi, are you just going to watch your clansmen die? Your two Chunin have exhausted their Chakra and stamina in the battle just now, and now they've been Jonin injured by that Jonin who just appeared. I think if you don't step in to help, your two Chunin are very likely to die at the hands of that Jonin!"

"This."

From Minato Namikaze's words, Hyuga Hiashi sensed his confidence in Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi's strength, which made Hyuga Hiashi hesitate slightly. After all, Hyuga Yexing and Hyuga Xiyun were both very talented newcomers of the Hyuga Clan. If Uchiha Yue and Hatake Kakashi could really handle that Jonin, wouldn't Hyuga Yexing and Hyuga Xiyun die here in vain?

Thinking of this, Hyuga Hiashi couldn't help but feel some resentment towards Hyuga Yexing and Hyuga Xiyun.

However, Hyuga Hiashi couldn't afford to show any weakness in front of Minato Namikaze. He forced a smile, his heart filled with bitterness, and said, "Minato, the ninjas of my Hyuga Clan also need training. Ye Xing and Xi Yun have only recently been promoted Chunin, and they've already started to become arrogant. Perfect, with that Jonin's help, I can give Ye Xing and Xi Yun a good talking-to, let them know that there are always stronger people out there."

Just then, Hyuga Hiashi that the Jonin in the battle was about to kill Hyuga Yexing and Hyuga Xiyun, and then prepare to rescue these two new generation elites of the Hyuga Clan. However, Hyuga Hiashi never expected that just as he was about to make his move, Hyuga Anya, who was next to him, could not suppress her anxiety and rushed to the Jonin first!

"If you want to harm anyone from my Hyuga Clan, you'll have to ask Hyuga Anya for permission first!"
