"Companions?"
He appeared in the Dark Side dozens of meters away and muttered to himself.
"Your companion is my companion!"
After saying that, the Dark Side turned to Kai.
"Kai, thank you for all these years. But this cowardly fellow doesn't deserve to be your companion. After I merge with him, you will gain a true ally!"
Kakashi wasn't the only one shocked.
The same applies to Kai and Shisui. In their combined attack just now, Kai put himself in the middle of it. If he hadn't chosen to fight back and instead tried to escape, he would have had to open at least the Seventh Gate, and there was no guarantee he would have been able to get away unscathed.
In Taijutsu, movement speed is always lower than attack speed, and this applies to everyone.
Shisui had already activated his Sharingan; it really was just a flash of lightning before the target disappeared.
Shisui knew that at this speed, relying on the Flying Thunder God Technique for a sneak attack was no longer feasible.
"Captain Kakashi, for the rest of the battle, I can only offer some assistance."
Shisui assumed that Kakashi could also use this technique. In such a high-speed battle, he, who did not have much chemistry with Kakashi, might have the opposite effect if he rashly joined in.
At the same time, Zhisui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Is this the true strength of Kakashi, once Konoha's greatest genius?
Kai's thoughts were pretty much the same: Kakashi, you really didn't use your full strength in that sparring match!
"I trust you more than that guy on the other side who gives me a bad feeling, Kakashi. But there's not much I can do to help in the upcoming battle."
After saying that, Kai gave Kakashi a thumbs up.
"Kakashi, let me see the secret weapon you've been hiding all this time!"
Looking at the two guys who all thought they could take on the Dark Side, Kakashi said with a very serious expression.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I don't know the technique the other party possesses. I've only ever imagined it in my mind. However, there's good news: the technique is extremely dangerous, so even if he could use it, it probably wouldn't last long."
After saying that, Kakashi couldn't help but reflect on himself, wondering what he had been doing all these years.
Maybe I really am just a piece of trash!
But then, Kakashi's pupils contracted again, because he suddenly remembered that over the years, he had conceived of more than just this one technique!
Noticing the change in Kakashi's expression, the Dark Side opposite the three spoke up.
"That's right, this technique won't last long, but it'll be enough for me to achieve my goal. Also, don't make a fuss. Everything you know, I know; and everything you don't know, I know too!"
After saying that, the Dark Side transformed into lightning once more and attacked the three of them.
Faced with the three men who were waiting in full force, the Dark Side still had the leisure to consider who to attack first.
The moment the problem arose, a choice was made: the Dark Side turned towards still Shisui.
Mangekyō Sharingan Shisui, wasn't completely blind to his opponent's movements, but even if he could see them, his body wouldn't have time to react.
There are only two ways to deal with this: Susanoo withstand the attack or Flying Thunder God Technique for a strategic retreat.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shisui chose a less costly strategic retreat, appearing beside Naruto.
'The first one!'
The Dark Side silently told itself, then turned and headed towards Kai.
Without using Ninjutsu or the Lightning Cutter, he simply raised his arm, transforming it into a hand chop, and swung it towards Guy's neck.
The Dark Side even controlled the force; his goal was not to kill Kai.
Even Kakashi's Dark Side was grateful to Guy, grateful that Guy had accompanied him through those dark years.
Kai, who had already activated the Gate of Limit, also sensed the approaching attack, but he had no better option.
Even if six gates are opened, it's still no match; as for opening Seventh Gate, there simply isn't enough time!
Kakashi's Dark Side hand chops were already close to Guy's neck. If they hit, even Guy, who had already opened the Five Gates, would inevitably fall unconscious.
However, at that moment, Shisui appeared beside Guy, his body already enveloped in materialized green Chakra skeletons.
Shisui is unaware of the thoughts in the Dark Side's mind, but seeing his companions being attacked and being powerless to do anything about it is not the kind of person Shisui is.
The hand strike landed on Susanoo and stopped without hesitation, but the Dark Side, in its extreme speed state, instantly changed tactics and kicked out.
To save Guy's Shisui, the Flying Thunder God appeared beside Guy, and the Susanoo only in its initial state.
He was kicked away, taking Kai, who was behind him, flying with him.
The Dark Side neither liked nor disliked Shisui; it was only Shisui's obstructive behavior that aroused its murderous intent.
Especially considering that Shisui was that disgusting guy's right-hand man.
You only have yourself to blame because you followed the wrong person!
Kakashi, with only Three-Tomoe Sharingan, felt utterly powerless in the face of what had just happened, especially when the blurry lightning bolts headed towards Guy.
Kakashi felt as if he had returned to that cave, where, due to his own powerlessness and weakness, he could only watch helplessly as his comrades died!
The intense stimulation caused Kakashi's eyes to change, forming a complex pattern, and he gradually gained the ability to see everything that was happening.
"Wait, don't do it! What you want is to replace me. Come on, I won't resist!"
Upon discovering the Dark Side of his expression, which became incredibly ferocious in the face of Guy and Shisui, Kakashi shouted at them regardless of whether it would be of any use.
