Anko knew she had to kill the enemy before her, but that knowledge clashed with the hesitation in her heart.
Just as she hesitated, noisy commotion suddenly came from the mountaintop, along with scattered flickers of firelight.
Kakashi, standing at the front, immediately drew a kunai and watched warily as he urged them,
"There isn't much time left for you. Make your choice quickly."
They were merely ordinary people who could not use ninjutsu. Kakashi could kill them all in just a few minutes!
At that moment, Anko shouted loudly. The kunai in her hand plunged straight into the man's neck. Seeing him die with utter despair on his face, Anko took several deep breaths in lingering fear.
The two men witnessed this scene. A smile appeared at the corner of Uchiha Yū's lips, and he could not help clapping as he said,
"Minato, it looks like I won this time. I can't give this ruby to you anymore. I can only give it to my disciple, as a gift for her transformation into a ninja."
Unfortunately, Minato Namikaze had no smile on his face. Instead, he watched the scene with a tense expression. In the end, Obito still stood up, with Rin Nohara beside him.
Perhaps Anko's resolve had encouraged the two of them. They took up their weapons and charged directly toward the mountaintop.
Kakashi gave Anko a deep look before saying,
"Our mission isn't over yet. We need to kill all of these people!"
Without waiting for Anko to hesitate any longer, Kakashi had to take responsibility for his teammates. Under the guidance of Minato Namikaze and his father, Kakashi had not become someone who disregarded his companions solely to complete a mission. Now, he regarded his teammates as even more important than the mission.
