Though her Scorch Monster Technique had forced Kakashi back, Mei Terumi couldn't help showing a trace of frustration.
She'd once heard the elders mention an operation Kirigakure had launched against Konoha...
But she hadn't been the one who did it!
Why was he taking it out on her?
Not only was he a man who didn't know how to treat a lady, but he was also completely clueless about romance!
Though she was busy complaining to herself, Mei Terumi had to admit that Kakashi was strong.
Very strong.
Those three strikes just now had probably been held back.
Otherwise, no matter how impressive the Scorch Pillar Technique's defenses were, they probably couldn't have stopped all three strikes, could they?
So this man did have at least a tiny bit of consideration for women?
The meeting room had, unusually, fallen silent.
The Kage all wore very different expressions.
Rasa's was the most comical. The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. He tried with all his might to smile, but his heavy mood made it look as though he were about to cry.
Clearly, Kakashi's performance had reminded him of the White Fang of the Leaf.
No!
He was even more terrifying than the White Fang of the Leaf!
The White Fang they'd faced on the battlefield had already reached his prime. His strength was terrifying, but it had plateaued, with no room left to grow.
Kakashi was different.
Even a blind man could see that Kakashi was only fifteen or sixteen at most!
He could still grow stronger!
Just how terrifying would he become?
Yagura's expression was even worse than Rasa's. At first, he'd looked quite pleased, his lips lifting uncontrollably as he anticipated seeing Konoha suffer a humiliating defeat.
But as the battle unfolded, Yagura could no longer smile.
