Kakashi Already Understood Everything!

On the battlefield, Kou used his Three Tomoe Sharingan to look directly into the eye contact between Kakashi and Guy in front of him, a knowing glint in his eyes.

Even though they hadn't seen each other for many years, based on his understanding of Kakashi and Guy, he could immediately discern the information conveyed in their gazes.

"I see, so you want Guy to be the main attacker, while Kakashi can focus entirely on observing my actions...?"

Kou murmured softly, his scarlet eyes reflecting every subtle movement of the two of them.

A slight smile played at the corners of his lips, and a hint of emotion flickered in his eyes.

"You found the best way to deal with me so quickly... I must say, as expected of you, Kakashi."

Koko wasn't particularly surprised that Kakashi was able to find the best way to deal with him in such a short time.

Putting aside Kakashi's top-tier analytical abilities in the Ninja World, as a long-time friend, he was already very familiar with his own fighting style.

After all... his current fighting style was gradually formed little by little through his daily interactions with them in Konoha.

His tactical system, known as the "Speed Attack Style," was inspired by Namikaze Minato, the Ninja World's fastest man, nicknamed the "Yellow Flash."

The most important foundation for this fighting style—speed—is the powerful physical foundation developed through years of training with Kai and Uncle Dai.

The ability to react to physical speed, as well as the analytical and insightful abilities on the battlefield, are supplemented by the Sharingan.

The Swordsmanship used as the main means of attack comes from the Uchiha Style, as well as the Chidori Current Swordsmanship that Kakashi and he jointly developed.

On the battlefield, the technique of abandoning unnecessary Hand Seals and infusing Chakra nature transformation into the Ninja Blade in pursuit of greater speed originated from Asuma.

This "Extreme Speed Style" combat system, which combines the strengths of various schools and integrates them into its own, is the natural enemy of ninjas of the same level and swarm tactics.

It was also the foundation upon which he survived to the end in the Third World War and even became famous in the Ninja World!

Speed and reaction time – if either of these is weaker than yours, the opponent's chances of survival are slim!

The disadvantage Kakashi and Guy just faced is proof of the power of their fighting system.

But facing Kakashi and Guy, who already knew his intelligence and could overcome his weaknesses through complementary strategies,

Given the previous failed raid, continuing to use this tactic would not be a wise move.

"After all... I don't have the confidence to outwit Kakashi."

Kou stared directly at Kakashi and Guy with his Three Tomoe Sharingan and muttered to himself.

As he said this, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips, a smile that contained both self-deprecation and composure.

"But now, I'm not just proficient in this one fighting style."

Looking at Kakashi and Guy, who were standing ready ahead, he murmured to himself:

"Let me show you a portion of the power I've accumulated during the five years I've been away from Konoha."

"Click!"

Under the astonished gazes of Kakashi and Guy, Koko sheathed the Firebirth in his hand back into its sheath at his waist.

The last embers on the flaming blade slowly extinguished after it was sheathed.

"Kakashi, what's going on?"

Kai subconsciously looked at Kakashi, his thick eyebrows and big eyes filled with deep confusion.

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached Kakashi's ears clearly.

The surprise in Kakashi's eyes vanished in an instant, and a calm arc of light reappeared in his Three Tomoe Sharingan.

He observed every movement of the knocker and made a judgment in his mind in an instant:

"Knocking on him... it's very likely he's already figured out our intentions."

His voice was very low, and the three Tomo in his left eye spun faster than usual.

"Kou's fighting style relies on his powerful mobility and the Sharingan's perception ability to launch high-speed attacks."

His combat system was indeed very effective during the Third Ninja World War.

Kakashi calmly analyzed:

"Most ninja battles require Hand Seals, and every Hand Seals takes time—no matter how short.

The Sharingan's perceptive abilities allow Kotsukasa to accurately anticipate the enemy's casting animation, while his speed enables him to seize that opportunity with maximum mobility.

"But against us, who are very familiar with his combat system, the advantages of this combat system will be greatly reduced."

"Since Kou has taken back the ' Firebirth,' this means..."

Kakashi watched as Kotori's hands rapidly rose, the light in his eyes growing even more intense.

His voice became extremely urgent in that instant:

"Kai, watch out! Kou is about to... change his fighting style!"

Before Kakashi could finish speaking, several enormous dragon-head flames attacked Kakashi and Guy at lightning speed!

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!!"

With a deep, resounding shout, countless fiery dragon heads spewed from his mouth!

The enormous dragon head, formed of flames and radiating intense heat, hurtled towards Kakashi and Guy in all directions!

Under the Sharingan, the dragon's attack trajectory was incredibly precise, effectively blocking almost every escape route for Kakashi and Guy!

Koko observed Kakashi and Guy ahead, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

After five years of arduous training, his Fire Release are now on Obito, who passed on his Prisoner Madara him!

Faced with his Dragon Flame Song Technique, if Kakashi and Guy wanted to break through, they would have to force their way out.

And I can take advantage of the time they spend dealing with one move to prepare a big one!

As Chakra accumulated within his body, the light in his Sharingan grew brighter and brighter, and an excited smile crept onto his lips.

"Kakashi, Guy, you two are really something... a powerful ninja to keep things under control!"

Countless blazing dragon heads attacked Kakashi and Guy simultaneously, and the moisture in the air was instantly evaporated by the intense heat!

Kakashi and Guy, who were still a dozen steps away from the flames, could already feel their skin burning, and the sweat on their foreheads evaporated instantly as soon as it seeped out!

Kakashi and Guy's expressions turned serious at that moment.

Something's not right about the strength of this Ninjutsu!

Kakashi stared intently at the countless fiery dragon heads, a deep sense of doubt rising in his heart.

Back when he was in Konoha, he had an elite Uchiha Clan was proficient Jonin Fire Release, as well as special guidance from Lord Jiraiya.

Kou's Fire Release skills had already reached an extremely difficult level to surpass under their tutelage.

But the range and sophistication of this Fire Release... are worlds apart from what Kou was capable of five years ago!

Such a tremendous leap cannot be explained simply by hard work!

Kakashi gripped the White Fang's Tanto, which had transformed into the Chidori Blade, tightly in his hand, preparing to deal with the approaching fiery dragon head while his mind raced.

"Kou, what exactly happened to you in the five years you were away from Konoha...?"

As Kakashi pondered this, the images of Lord Jiraiya and Minato-sensei involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

"That child's growth rate is definitely not something he could achieve by simply burying himself in cultivation."

"I suspect that during these five years, he... has most likely been under the guidance of a very accomplished Teacher!"

"The mastermind behind the Nine-Tails Incident is a mysterious masked man who calls himself... Uchiha Madara!"

However, I speculate that the mysterious person was most likely not Uchiha Madara, but rather an Uchiha who had received Uchiha Madara's Uchiha Madara and might have worshipped him...

Recalling the speculations made by Lord Jiraiya and Minato-sensei in the Hokage's office, a glint flashed in Kakashi's eyes!

The fragments of information in those words were like chess pieces scattered on a chessboard, seemingly unrelated, yet they gradually converged into a line in his mind.

A line... pointing to a possible path!
