Kakashi, Come Hit Me!

"Kakashi, attack me without holding back. If you can kill me, I'll be the bigger man and won't hold your mistake against you. Everyone here can bear witness!"

Tsunade grabbed Shao Nan by the ear. "Are you insane?! If they kill you, what's left for you to hold against them?"

"Ow, ow, ow! Tsunade, let go! I'm only a clone!"

"Where's your real body? Or was it last night..."

Danzo burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Brother Shao Nan, what good fortune you have. You make everyone else jealous."

Hyuga Hiashi gave Danzo a curious look before speaking as well. "Brother Shao Nan, so you're actually afraid of your wife!!!"

Shao Nan was about to explain, but Tsunade stopped him with a murderous glare!

"Two old brothers, are you mocking me? I'm not afraid of my wife. This is simply the basic spark between husband and wife!"

Hyuga Hiashi nodded in understanding and spoke.

"Yes, yes, a spark! Brother Shao Nan truly knows how to live openly! When I get back, I'll have Hanabi and Hinata's mother learn a thing or two about creating a spark!!!"

Danzo, however, walked straight over to Shao Nan and murmured into his ear.

"Brother Shao Nan, this old man's granddaughter is a beauty capable of toppling kingdoms. I've already had her return to the village, and she'll arrive in a few days. When she does, I'll have her pay you a visit!"

Shao Nan was stunned. Danzo actually had a granddaughter?

He stared at Danzo in shock.

"Brother, this... wouldn't be appropriate, would it?"

Danzo continued whispering, "My granddaughter is the pinnacle among female performers in the entire Ninja World's pleasure quarters, and she's still untouched!!!"

"She's proficient in all eighteen arts! Interested in taking a concubine?"

Huh? Was Danzo using a honey trap on me?

Pleasure quarters... wasn't that basically the Ninja World's brothel?

Who could resist that!!!

No, wait, this wouldn't do, would it?

What kind of man was I, Shao Nan? Was I the sort to believe slander based on a few words?

But then again, I really wanted to see what Danzo's granddaughter was capable of to dare call herself the pinnacle!!!

"Brother, we can discuss this later. When your granddaughter returns, notify me. I'll definitely come pay her a visit."

"Then it's settled."

No one knew what Danzo and Shao Nan had just discussed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi only felt that his old friend Danzo was plotting something again!

"Ah, you two distracted me so much that I forgot what I was doing."

He then looked at Kakashi. "Kakashi, how many years have you been single? How many girlfriends have you had?"

"Why are you asking that?"

"Just making conversation."

"I've never dated anyone. I'm still single."

"You're not bad-looking, so why don't you date? Kakashi, could it be that you're... not working down there!!!"

The moment Shao Nan said that, everyone turned to look at Kakashi, clearly sharing the same suspicion.

Tsunade had practically watched Kakashi grow up. He was an exceptionally talented genius.

In Konoha's history, Kakashi had graduated from the Ninja Academy at a very young age and became a jonin at the youngest age as well!

"Kakashi, Shizune is very skilled in that area of medical treatment. Want me to have Shizune take a look at you?"

Kakashi's expression remained calm as he shouted, "You did that on purpose!"

"Of course I did! I'm guessing your self-created ninjutsu isn't all that great either!"

"Not convinced, Kakashi? Then come hit me!!!"

Kakashi looked at Shao Nan's disgusted expression and felt deeply insulted!

Besides, Shao Nan had just said that he was only a clone!

"Then I'll grant your wish!"

Chidori!

Lightning-nature chakra continuously flickered in Kakashi's right palm!

Blue lightning was clenched in his hand, releasing a powerful crackling current! It sounded like the resonance of a thousand birds chirping at once.

Kakashi slowly advanced toward Shao Nan.

"Hahaha, good! Come on, Kakashi! Use your self-created ninjutsu to entertain me!"

Shao Nan remained calm and did not dodge!

Bzzzt, bzzzt, bzzzt!!

The buzzing of Chidori continued!

Shao Nan took a step forward, as though he were eager to be struck!

Kakashi pulled his right arm back in a charging motion!

Then, the speed of his right hand suddenly exploded forward!

Sshk!!!

Bzzzt, bzzzt, bzzzt!!!

Chidori struck Shao Nan directly and pierced through his body.

Kakashi's right hand emerged from Shao Nan's back, clenched into a fist!

The Chidori around his fist continued crackling!

Suddenly, Kakashi realized something was wrong!

"This feeling!!!"

It wasn't a shadow clone?

"Dad!" Chino cried out when she saw Shao Nan get hit.

Hearing her voice, Kakashi hurriedly pulled his hand out.

The instant he did, blood gushed wildly from Shao Nan's wound.

Cough!

Shao Nan coughed up blood, dropped to one knee, and clutched his wound.

At that moment, two women cried out at the same time.

"Shao Nan!!"

"Shao Nan!!"

Tsunade put Chino down and rushed to Shao Nan's side.

She shoved Kakashi away.

Seeing Shao Nan covered in blood, Tsunade's hemophobia struck immediately.

Her body trembled uncontrollably, her eyes widened, and she seemed to lose focus.

"Tsunade, save me!" Shao Nan weakly called out.

Another graceful figure ran to Shao Nan's side in panic.

It was Ayame, Teuchi's daughter!

Ayame cried, "Shao Nan, don't die! You said you were going to play with me! You can't die!"

Then she continued pleading with Tsunade, "Aren't you the greatest medical ninja? Hurry and save him! He's your husband!"

The heads of the major clans stepped forward to inspect him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi froze after only one glance!

"His heart has been shattered. He can't be saved!"

Kakashi fell into deep self-reproach. Didn't he say he was a clone? If he dies, I won't be able to live either, will I?

Kakashi looked at Tsunade and suddenly felt like running away!

Danzo: How could this happen? I finally found someone who supported me, and he just died like this?

Danzo then shot Kakashi a vicious, venomous glare.

Kakashi: Who did I offend? I'm innocent too, okay?!!!

"Tsunade, save me. I don't want to die yet!" Shao Nan was actually completely fine. He only wanted to test Hashirama Senju's self-healing ability at its peak.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, perhaps he could also cure Tsunade's hemophobia!!!

"Tsunade, I haven't restored the Senju clan yet. I haven't given you a proper wedding yet. I... I don't want to die!"

Ayame also looked at Tsunade pleadingly. "Sister Tsunade, please, save him!"

As Tsunade listened to Shao Nan's weak words, her trembling body suddenly stilled.

It seemed that the fear in her heart had already faded away!

Looking at the necklace around Shao Nan's neck, Tsunade said, "It's all my fault! Why did you wear this cursed necklace!!!"

"Shao Nan, you can't die, do you hear me?! As long as you don't die, I promise I won't interfere with your affairs with other women!"

Tsunade then used everything she had learned in her life on the gaping hole in Shao Nan's body.

It was sudden. Ridiculously sudden!

Shao Nan sprang up from the ground and laughed heartily.

"Wife, I've been waiting for you to say that!"

Shao Nan stood there full of life, looking at everyone around him.

"What are those expressions for? You all seem disappointed that I didn't die."

At the same time, five people were peeking over the high walls of the Senju Compound, watching everything unfold!

They were Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Sakura.

Along with the Hyuga sisters, Hinata and Hanabi!

Naruto said, "Sasuke, that guy had a huge hole punched through his chest, but he can still stand up! Do you know what's going on?"

Uchiha Sasuke said, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask! Idiot!"

Then Uchiha Sasuke's gaze turned cold and dark. By all rights, that man shouldn't be alive!

Sakura said, "Teuchi's daughter seems to care a lot about that man!!!"

Hanabi spoke to Hinata.

"Big Sis, aren't we going in? That's our master! Even though Father told us to wait here for his orders, but..."

After saying that, Hanabi grabbed the flustered and shy Hinata by the hand and ran inside.
