Whoosh!
On the battlefield!
After successfully driving back the Third Raikage, Kakashi flashed to Mei Terumi's side.
The Third Raikage's hand had already recovered, but he did not continue his assault on Kakashi and Mei Terumi. Instead, he turned and looked toward the Fourth Raikage on the other side.

"Damn Nagato!"
Zetsu cursed, his tone brimming with resentment.
Both Black Zetsu and White Zetsu believed that Konoha had learned of Akatsuki's plan to
