Uchiha Yufeng brought his hands together and exhaled.
"Water Release: Water Wall!"
In an instant, the Water Wall enclosed Uchiha Yufeng and Hatake Kakashi.
The puppet was swept aside by the spinning water, even though its target was right within reach.
Yet in the end, it could not advance even an inch.

Several Sand Shinobi fell at once.
Kakashi's entire sequence of movements was
