By the time Chentian emerged with Kazahana Koyuki and Sandayū, Kakashi was still locked in combat with Nadare Rōga.
The damage to Nadare Rōga's armor showed that he would not be able to hold out much longer.
In the original story, Kakashi had suffered quite a few losses at his hands, but things were different now.
Rin had not died, and neither had Minato. He had not fallen into darkness and completely abandoned his training.
With Chentian constantly pushing him from the sidelines, his strength had improved considerably.
Given enough time, he could have beaten Nadare Rōga half to death.
But they did not have that much time. Five minutes had already passed since they broke in.
In three minutes at most, Kazahana Dōtō would arrive with his other two subordinates.
The current Kakashi was no match for all four of them, so Chentian would have to step in if they wanted to leave.
But if that happened, things would become difficult where Kazahana Koyuki was concerned after he defeated Kazahana Dōtō.
To prevent that from happening, Chentian urged, "Kakashi, three minutes left. Hurry!"
"Coming!" Kakashi answered, hurling out the Fire Dragon Jutsu he had prepared before immediately following after it.
Chentian then took Kazahana Koyuki, while Kakashi took Sandayū, and the two swiftly vanished.
Nadare Rōga's Ice Release collided with Kakashi's fire dragon, producing a thick cloud of mist that blocked his vision.
By the time his vision cleared, there was no one left in front of him.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Kazahana Dōtō appeared beside him and asked grimly, "Where are they? What happened to Kazahana Koyuki?"
"She... she was rescued." Lowering his head, Nadare Rōga answered in terror.
"Useless trash!" Enraged, Kazahana Dōtō cursed furiously. He wanted nothing more than to kill the man on the spot,
