All Hiding and No Showing-Nothing but a Clown!
Now, there's no need to make a special trip to contact the Minato.
Konoha entrance.
Minato Namikaze arrives with the Flying Thunder God.
After registering, Kyohiko went out with him and then asked, "Have you had any success with the Flying Raijin Formation lately?"
"That's troublesome!"
Minato Namikaze, looking troubled. "If it's to be done by three people, the requirements for their abilities, Chakra, and teamwork are very high, and splitting them up is also extremely difficult."
"The most difficult part is constructing the spatial channels, especially when long-distance teleportation is needed..."
Kyohiko shared his opinion.
Although he is only at the beginner level with Flying Thunder God Flying Thunder God, his current research and understanding of it is far beyond what he had when he first grasped it.
The two discussed it with each other.
Minato Namikaze was sighing when he suddenly paused, saying, "That's not right!"
"Um?"
"I used to occasionally go to the Anbu, and I remember you grouped Kakashi, Genma Shiranui, and Namiashi Raidō together?"
Minato Namikaze suddenly realized what was happening.
Kyohiko nodded. "Yes."
"So?"
"At the time, we had this idea: to train them in advance, cultivate their teamwork, and prepare for the future."
Kyohiko answered.
Minato Namikaze remained silent.
Then, he couldn't help but sigh—
The opponent often has a well-thought-out overall strategy, while we are indeed far behind in terms of the big picture.
The mindset of the Hokage...
Are some people really born to be leaders?
Minato Namikaze pondered for a moment.
Then, he turned to look at Kyohiko: "Kyohiko, you're born to be Hokage. Compared to you, Kushina and I are far inferior."
Why the sudden sentimentality about this?
Kyohiko was surprised.
Minato Namikaze hurried along, he chuckled, "Kushina and I both once Hokage of becoming Hokage, hoping to achieve it in our lifetime. But your rise has almost extinguished any hope we could have!"
"Kushina becoming Hokage... that would be a disaster, wouldn't it?"
Kyohiko's lips twitched slightly.
Although Tsunade has a bad temper, she is experienced and has commanded countless battlefields, so she is unlikely to let her emotions cloud her judgment in important matters.
Kushina was different.
As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, her treatment in Konoha was practically a mobile prison, a stark contrast to Naruto's.
She rarely had the opportunity to go out from childhood to adulthood.
There are tasks, but also a lack of freedom.
and.
"I heard that Kushina smashed a desk at school a while ago?"
"Ha, some students were trying to skip class, so they smashed the desk..."
Minato Namikaze offered an awkward explanation.
He then cleared his throat lightly, saying, "Let's focus on getting on our way."
In fact, after spending time with her, he also felt that making Kushina Hokage a terrible thing, especially after Kushina became his Teacher.
even.
He himself may not be suitable to Hokage.
Hokage is not something that can be accomplished with willpower and passion alone; it also requires sufficient wisdom and a strategic perspective.
He does not possess that ability.
"Sir, what if we encounter enemies later..."
Iburi Gota looked anxious.
Kakashi glanced at Iburi Gota.
This guy was simply worried that when Danzo's men arrived, he would make them fight alongside him against the enemy.
"You don't need to do anything; just protect yourselves."
"My lord, it's not that I'm afraid of death, it's just that my people..."
Iburi Gota apologized.
It's alright.
Kakashi shook his head.
It took the Iburi Clan an hour to pack their things, and by the time they came out of the Cave, an hour and a half had passed. At Kyohiko's pace, they should be arriving soon.
He walked in front, and suddenly Andre snorted.
Kakashi's gaze sharpened.
Someone's lying in ambush!
His gait immediately changed, and he stepped to the right and outwards.
Genma Shiranui vanished from his spot in an instant.
The next second.
Senbon raindrops!
One after another, Senbon, like a violent storm, attacked Kakashi's right side.
It was a dense jungle.
Before the Senbon even arrived, figures suddenly leaped up and charged towards them.
There are eight people in total.
Kakashi Hand Seals and draws his sword.
The waving motions were like willow branches or ribbons, exquisitely beautiful, yet also extremely deadly.
Genjutsu, Konoha Style: Willow!
Instead of learning Kyohiko's version and combining it with the Dance of the Crescent Moon to achieve a deceptive effect, he used Kyohiko's original version to achieve the Genjutsu manipulation of "Willow".
In an instant, Namiashi Raidō emerged from the earth.
The black blade slashed through.
Laugh!
Both were instantly stabbed and died immediately, but one of them quickly broke free of the Genjutsu after being struck.
However.
"Oh no, it's poisonous!"
He exclaimed in surprise.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Call out!
A figure leaped out of the ground and silently attacked Kakashi, grabbing Kakashi with one hand and wielding a four-clawed blade capable of transmitting Chakra in the other.
Earth Style: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!
In the instant he yanked his opponent down, he swung his left hand.
The claw swept across.
A slight smile appeared on Kazuma's lips.
Anbu Konoha Village?
That's all there is to it!
He was feeling a surge of joy when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
like...
That's too easy.
Not good!
It's a trap!
The moment he realized something was wrong, the figure he had just slashed vanished into thin air.
It's Shadow Clone!
True form--
Behind!
He dared not turn around, and immediately shrank back into the ground, using his claws to defend himself.
Choke!
A metallic clanging sound rang out.
Kazuma gathered Wind Style Chakra between his claws, attempting to counter Kakashi's most proficient Lightning Style.
but.
This time it wasn't Lightning Style, but...
Ninja Blade Technique: Explosion!
call--
The Wind Style Chakra fueled the flames, instantly transforming into a flaming blade.
Even though it was cut by the claws that were imbued with Wind Blade, some flames still managed to seep through the gaps in the claws, burning a scorch mark directly onto Kazuma's hand.
Just as Kakashi was about to finish off the enemy, a series of Kunai flew towards him.
In addition, many people attacked the Iburi Clan behind them.
Kakashi ignored him.
Because he believed his teammates could hold them off!
The other blade was drawn, enhanced with Lightning Style Chakra, and in an instant, it dodged the Kunai and then severed the steel wire connecting it behind.
Although they ran away with the Kazuma.
But.
"Ahh!"
Two screams, rang out almost simultaneously, attracted a lot of attention.
Kakashi's body moved with the dance of his swords, one sword crackling with lightning, the other spewing Wind Blade, and trees instantly snapped and collapsed after each strike.
Screams echoed throughout the room.
Instead of going to the rescue, Kazuma ruthlessly attacked the remaining Anbu Konoha.
However.
A flock of crows suddenly flew towards him.
He immediately waved his hand.
Wind Style: Beast Wave Palm.
Whoosh!
The crows scattered, and an earthen wall rose up in front of him, blocking his Beast Wave Palm.
It was Earth Style Wall.
However.
In that instant, he realized he couldn't move.
This is...
Shadow Possession Technique?
Whoosh!
A knife came at him from behind.
Kakashi has arrived!
That's incredibly fast! Was he observing the entire situation the whole time?
Kazuma was deeply moved.
How could Kakashi improve so quickly in such a short time?
Fortunately.
This is just a Shadow Clone.
The real Kazuma had lost the courage to fight Kakashi, and used Earth Style attack Genma Shiranui Namiashi Raidō.
Kakashi immediately sheathed his sword.
"Watch out for Earth Style a type of magic that can be used to escape)!"
"Yes!"
Genma Shiranui Hand Seals.
The Shuriken split in two, then in four, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of them appeared, densely covering the entire area.
Namiashi Raidō Raito sheathed his sword and fled.
His black blade was coated with poison; anyone struck by it would be poisoned.
Besides, killing two and injuring one in one strike is already a good deal.
As they retreated, crows swarmed in, following behind the Shuriken to provide cover for them.
Yamashiro Aoba, through her connection with crows, compels them to aid in the overall battlefield.
The Iburi Clan shrank back, not daring to approach. Although Kakashi had sent a small team to protect them, and their clan was also a ninja family,...
Their combat capabilities are still too weak.
Especially in the wild.
If there's wind when the vapor is formed, they'll die.
But at that moment, a Barrier appeared around the Iburi Clan.
Purple walls surrounded the Iburi Clan on all four sides.
"What?"
Kakashi turned his head, then his face darkened.
This is the Four Violet Flames Formation!
The next instant, his pupils contracted.
Inside the Barrier is...
Shimura Danzō!
He came in person?
"Anbu ninjas, if you don't want the people you need to die, then stop."
Danzo said calmly.
"Danzo, do you think this can threaten us?"
Kakashi's voice was cold.
Danzo lightly. "Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve? Kakashi Hatake, you've improved a lot and are very strong, but your opponent is me."
"If you really have that kind of confidence, why do you need to resort to such methods?"
Kakashi gave a cold laugh.
Danzo smiled faintly and said, "With your abilities, reaching your current level isn't a disgrace to your father's reputation, but you're still a bit short of surpassing us."
He said this, waving his hand.
"And it's utterly foolish!"
Danzo sneered.
Kakashi remained silent.
He hadn't expected that Danzo would come in person and even teach his subordinates the Four Violet Flames Formation.
This Barrier Technique wasn't entirely unbreakable, especially since they had an elite squad surrounding the Iburi Clan. However, with Danzo, they clearly lacked the means to break it.
Is this the only option?
Kakashi was unwilling to accept this.
In that moment of distraction, a figure suddenly approached from behind.
There wasn't time to turn around.
He swung his knife in a backhand strike, but it was blocked by the person behind him.
A hand rested on his shoulder.
"Kakashi, I don't want to kill you right now. Let's go back."
What?
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Kakashi's forehead.
Wow, so fast!
and.
He hadn't even noticed where the other person had come from; such concealment skills, speed, and strength...
As expected of a powerful figure who controls the Anbu and Root!
Kakashi's lips trembled slightly.
Genma Shiranui Namiashi Raidō exchanged a glance, unsure of what to do.
In their eyes, Kakashi was already very strong, but...
Danzo even stronger!
"Alright, I'm taking the Iburi Clan with me. If Kyohiko or Orochimaru want them, come to Kyoto and let's talk. I also hope to get along with you peacefully."
Danzo softly.
However.
At that moment, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Within the Four Violet Flames Formation, a figure emerged.
Appearing in an instant--
Rasengan!
Boom!
His Shadow Clone was instantly blasted towards the Barrier, while Kunai scattered in all directions.
Minato Namikaze?
Danzo was surprised, and then the hairs on his entire body stood on end.
Wrong!
He immediately stepped aside.
Boom!
The powerful Chakra exploded as electricity, Danzo reacted extremely quickly, dodging to the side in Body Flicker Technique, drawing his sword and spitting out Wind Blade from his mouth.
Laugh!
The wind and Chakra could partially neutralize the impact with chakra, but Danzo could only dodge or deflect the subsequent force; he dared not confront it head-on.
He was filled with fear.
Did this kid master the Flying Thunder God Minato Namikaze send him to Kakashi's side?
"The Iburi Clan, you can't take them away today, and old fogies like you should retire from the stage."
"You've learned the Flying Thunder God?"
"Oh."
Kyohiko did not answer.
Before Danzo could figure it out, two vines sprouted from beneath his feet and instantly wrapped around his ankles.
Wood Release Ninjutsu!
Although it was just a simple entanglement, it was enough to distract him for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, Kyohiko was already in front of him.
We must not let Danzo fall behind!
otherwise.
Danzo's Wind Release Ninjutsu is continuous and extremely powerful, even he finds it very troublesome. Maintaining close-range combat is the best strategy.
Bang!
Blades clashing.
Danzo a sword in one hand and held Shuriken fingers in the other. He channeled Wind Style Chakra into the Shuriken and swiftly threw it, the sharp Wind Blade clinging to it...
Call out!
soon.
but--
To Danzo's surprise and dismay, Kyohiko merely avoided vital points, without actually dodging the Shuriken aimed at his arm.
Trading injury for injury?
He never expected that Kyohiko, known for his speed and agility, would choose such a fighting style. At this moment, it was too late to change his move, and he could only barely raise his hand and gather Chakra to defend.
Bang!
A terrifying burst of Chakra.
With one punch, Danzo's body flew backward, crashing into more than a dozen trees before disappearing with a "bang".
It was just a Shadow Clone.
"Team leader!"
Kakashi immediately stepped forward.
Kyohiko waved his hand, wiping away the bloodstains.
The wound has healed.
Kakashi was shocked.
The blood earlier proved that Kyohiko was indeed hit, but there are no wounds now...
The Seal-less Healing of the original?
Call out!
Some of the enemies who had surrounded them immediately fled, while others were entangled by the vines.
Each strand of hair grew, instantly Pressure Point Strike and controlling several people.
Kazuma claws swung, sharp Wind Blade sliced through his hair as they approached. Just as he was about to use Ninjutsu to escape, he saw Genma Shiranui throw a Kunai from above.
Subsequently, the Kunai rapidly differentiated, forming dozens of roots.
That is?
Kazuma's pupils contracted.
These Kunai bound with special Talisman.
Never get close!
He raised his palm, Chakra gathered, and then...
Call out!
The Wind Blade swept out, Kunai, leaving only a few that passed by from a distance.
Just as Kazuma was preparing to escape using Earth Style.
A figure suddenly appeared beside me, followed by a sharp pain.
He didn't even get a clear look at the other person.
Bang bang bang!
Eight fingers in a row.
His arms and legs felt stagnant Chakra was completely blocked, as if he were trapped in a quagmire.
Pressure Point Strike?
This guy even knows the Hyuga Clan's signature techniques?
Who exactly is he?
A flicker of despair crossed Kazuma's mind.
After a brief but fierce attack, he had completely lost any chance of escape.
Kakashi gave chase for a while, but seeing the enemy getting further and further away, he blew his whistle to order his teammates to turn back.
The main focus of the mission is the Iburi Clan.
Kyohiko glanced at him and smiled, "Don't worry about him. He doesn't even dare to come over in his true form. He's just a cowardly clown hiding his face. I'll kill him when I have some free time."
