The Copy Ninja—Kakashi

"Yun Xi, stop! The Third Hokage is already aware of Danzo's attempt to drag you and Karin into the Root Division. You need to come with us to meet the Third Hokage now!"

Not long after Yun Xi had stepped out of his house with Karin and Pikachu, the Anbu under the Third Hokage's command finally appeared before him.

They intended to bring Yun Xi and Karin back to the Hokage Building so the Third Hokage could resolve the matter.

"The Anbu are here, are they?" Yun Xi smiled as he looked at the three Anbu ninjas before him.

"You've arrived quite quickly now, but where were you when the Root Division people were trying to snatch Karin earlier?"

Yun Xi's attitude toward the Anbu had been cold from the very beginning.

If not for the sake of the Third Hokage, Yun Xi would have attacked them directly!

"We only just learned of this incident, which is why we rushed over. You must believe that Lord Third Hokage will certainly give you a fair explanation."

Perhaps influenced by the dark aura radiating from Yun Xi, the three Anbu Chunin standing before him trembled slightly as they spoke...

They even subconsciously took a few steps back.

Yun Xi did not care how they viewed him.

He simply said in a tone filled with killing intent, "I already gave you a chance before. From this moment on, whoever blocks me from killing Danzo is my enemy!"

"This..."

Seemingly sensing the murderous intent contained in Yun Xi's words, the three Anbu Chunin who had blocked their path didn't even dare to say anything more.

They subconsciously stepped aside to let Yun Xi pass...

"You cannot leave today!"

But just as Yun Xi prepared to depart with Karin, another Anbu appeared.

"Mask, Sharingan..." Yun Xi was somewhat surprised to see this Anbu Jonin who had suddenly appeared.

A few unique features allowed Yun Xi to recognize this ninja.

It was none other than the famous Hatake Kakashi, the future Sixth Hokage.

"You are much stronger than these three, but it's still not enough, Kakashi..."

This was not Yun Xi being arrogant, but words spoken from the heart.

As for Kakashi, Yun Xi actually quite liked the character, but in terms of strength, the current Kakashi was simply no match for him.

He might even be killed by Yun Xi in an instant!

"Whether my strength is enough or not remains to be seen!"

Upon hearing Yun Xi's words, the look in Kakashi's eyes shifted.

His initial caution transformed into anger.

Although he couldn't read the youth before him, he refused to believe that his own strength was truly inferior to Yun Xi's!

"Three-Tomoe Sharingan, activate!"

"Lightning Style: Earth Flash!"

As he finished speaking, Kakashi made his move.

He immediately activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and unleashed a wide-range Lightning Style ninjutsu.

He intended to defeat Yun Xi in a single strike and bring him before the Third Hokage.

"Compared to those guys, you are indeed strong, but an attack like this is not enough!"

Seeing Kakashi launch his attack, Yun Xi did not panic.

He simply grabbed Pikachu, who was standing to the side, and tossed him directly into the range of the Lightning Style: Earth Flash.

"What is going on?"

Seeing Yun Xi's counter-maneuver, the three Anbu Chunin standing nearby were also shocked.

They were elite Chunin who had experienced hundreds of battles, after all.

But this was the first time they had ever seen someone throw their own summon into the path of an enemy's attack.

"Is he seeking death?" Kakashi was also somewhat surprised at this moment.

He naturally understood the destructive power of his Lightning Style: Earth Flash.

In Kakashi's eyes, this mouse-type summon was at most at the elite Chunin level.

Once struck by his lightning ninjutsu, it would undoubtedly die!

"Is this kid planning to use his summon's life to block my attack?"

In that instant, many possibilities raced through Kakashi's mind.

In the end, he felt that Yun Xi's move was simply to use his own summon to block the attack.

After all, although a Chunin-level summon was considered relatively precious.

In Kakashi's eyes, using a summon to gain an advantage in battle was still a rather clever method.

Even if the cost was quite high...

And just as Kakashi was feeling sorry for Yun Xi's mouse summon.

Pikachu collided with Kakashi's Lightning Style: Earth Flash.

A scene that shocked both the Anbu Chunin and Kakashi unfolded!

Not only was this yellow mouse unharmed after enduring the full power of the Lightning Style: Earth Flash.

It even seemed to be in better spirits than before!

One had to know that Kakashi was a long-renowned genius Jonin, as well as a ninja who was extremely proficient in Lightning Style.

Even an average Jonin could not withstand a full-force strike from Kakashi head-on, yet this mouse summon actually...

Took a bath in the A-rank ninjutsu Lightning Style: Earth Flash and remained unscathed.

It even recovered some of its stamina...

Could this summon be the bane of Lightning Style...

Seeing this, Kakashi felt his worldview crumbling.

"Come back, Pikachu."

Seeing that Pikachu had absorbed all the lightning-attribute chakra contained in the Lightning Style: Earth Flash that Kakashi had just released.

Yun Xi summoned Pikachu back to his feet.

Looking at the energetic Pikachu, a smile appeared on Yun Xi's face...

It's rare to get a free charge, I've profited!

Watching the spirited Pikachu and the smiling Yun Xi.

Kakashi finally realized he had been tricked.

His Lightning Style ninjutsu had not only failed to cause any damage to Yun Xi's summon.

It seemed to have even helped it recover some stamina and injuries...

"No more jokes. I hope this matter can be resolved through the Third Hokage; after all, a peaceful resolution is a win-win for everyone..."

Finally, Kakashi became serious.

He intended to use his "Talk no Jutsu" to persuade Yun Xi to return with him to see the Third Hokage.

He wanted the Third Hokage to resolve this matter!

"Kakashi, you are too naive, so naive that I almost want to laugh."

Hearing these words from Kakashi, Yun Xi felt a bit helpless.

He hadn't expected Kakashi to be so naive at this moment.

Naive enough to think that some things could be solved simply through mediation!

Although Konoha in the original Naruto series always gave people a feeling of sunshine and passion.

In reality, this was merely a facade.

From the death of White Fang to the Uchiha clan massacre.

To the entanglements between the Third Hokage and Danzo, everything told Yun Xi of the dangers in this world.

Any place filled with light would inevitably have its shadows.

Even the Third Hokage, portrayed as extremely perfect in the original series, actually had his dark spots.

Because of his soft heart, he let Orochimaru go, which eventually led to a series of subsequent events.

And he ultimately died at the hands of Orochimaru...

This slightly excessive weakness was the greatest stain on a Hokage!

Now, Kakashi actually intended for Yun Xi to follow him to see the Third Hokage.

And then end this matter through the Third Hokage's mediation.

How could Yun Xi possibly accept such an outcome?

He was not a real three-year-old child who would have his thoughts of revenge dismissed by a few simple words!
