I, Kakashi, Will Talk No Jutsu!

Kakashi casually removed his mask, having no choice but to face reality. Instead of pondering how his teacher, Namikaze Minato, dealt with his opponent, he should think about Minato's fighting style.

In the entire ninja world, only two people could independently use the Flying Thunder God Technique: the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato. With Danzō's methods, he could probably obtain all the techniques developed by both users.

If he fought alone, it would only be waiting for death...

"Uchiha Shisui!" Kakashi jumped down from the branch, landing next to Shisui's clone. "We can't let a single shuriken land near us. Every shuriken could carry the Flying Thunder God mark. His fighting style is very crude..."

That bizarre black and white enemy relied solely on his speed and strength, not even skilled in the most basic swordsmanship...

Perhaps he had recognized his own weakness, continuously escaping using the Flying Thunder God Technique, never choosing to engage in direct combat.

"Do you have any ideas now, Senior Kakashi?" Uchiha Shisui nodded. That shuriken just now... he didn't even care if it hit Kakashi.

"We can only maintain our vigilance for now..." Hatake Kakashi shook his head. "That person has used the Flying Thunder God Technique six times since appearing... This technique consumes a lot of chakra, even for Teacher Minato..."

Clang!

A shuriken was knocked down by Shisui from a distance!

A figure instantly appeared. He had miscalculated... this shuriken, carrying the Flying Thunder God mark, was far from Kakashi and the others... His ninja fundamentals still needed a lot of work!

"Wait!" Hatake Kakashi suddenly called out to him. "You've used the Flying Thunder God Technique seven times now, your chakra must be running low!"

"..."

Not being able to speak was a serious handicap!

The attacker slowly turned his head. His form was astonishingly bizarre, as if a purely black person and a purely white person were stuck together... He looked like the product of human experimentation!

Hatake Kakashi confirmed his inner guess and continued, "I know your mission objective, but you can't succeed, right?"

"..."

As if certain the strange man wouldn't speak, Hatake Kakashi continued talking to himself, "And you see, under the gaze of two people with the Sharingan, you can't get any closer to us..."

"In the end, it can only be a mutual destruction!"

"I know the value of a Flying Thunder God user. Konoha might need you at any time! As fellow villagers... ninja... how about we just go our separate ways like this?"

The strange man nodded, cautiously watching them, and picked up all the shuriken he had thrown, erasing all the marks on the Anbu members.

Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui watched his actions, still on guard... until he truly began to walk slowly towards the forest. Shisui suddenly called out to him, "Hey, did you see a crow?"

The strange man stopped, gently shook his head, and disappeared into the woods.

After a long period of vigilance, the strange man still hadn't appeared. Hatake Kakashi said with relief, "Let's go..."

"Senior Kakashi, I still need to find a crow... Summoning Technique!"

After scattering a sky full of crows, Uchiha Shisui revealed everything, such as being entrusted by the clan head couple to take the crows for a walk... thinking someone was impersonating the Hokage... that the crow was really disobedient, and so on...

Uchiha Shisui watched his flock of crows fly over quickly. "Fortunately, that strange man didn't attack Beiyuan, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to explain it to Senior Fugaku's family..."

"Caw!" Beiyuan, upon seeing Shisui, immediately accused him of being impulsive.

"Alright, alright, who could have expected such a dangerous person to appear..." Shisui's face darkened under the crows' accusations, and he quickly changed the subject. "Senior Kakashi, what's wrong?"

Kakashi looked at the bodies of several Anbu ninja and said softly, "We suffered heavy losses this time. Fortunately, you appeared, Shisui. Otherwise, the news might not have been sent back..."

"It's okay." Uchiha Shisui suddenly said, "Senior, do you know who that was? Is he a ninja from our village? Why did he attack you?"

"...This is Anbu classified information!"

"Senior!" Uchiha Shisui said sternly, "This matter should not be concealed no matter what! Whether it's a Flying Thunder God user or someone assassinating the Hokage..."

Hatake Kakashi couldn't stand the youth's questioning and merely deflected, "Lord Hokage will handle it. Hey, Shisui, I hope you don't return to the village for now..."

His gaze fixed on Uchiha Shisui. Everything that happened today would cause a huge stir... If possible, Kakashi wanted to keep Shisui confined in a dark room.

Of course, not for that kind of play, but simply to keep the secret.

The problem was that facing a genius Uchiha with a Three Tomoe Sharingan, it wasn't easy to handle him by any means.

Kakashi made his minimum request, while his gaze shifted to the crow on Shisui's shoulder. "Because of what happened today, it cannot be leaked..."

...What do you mean? Fierce intent filled Beiyuan's eyes, almost overflowing.

"Senior, are you joking?" Uchiha Shisui reached out to soothe the crow.

Hatake Kakashi had seen this crow's behavior at Ichiraku Ramen and had also heard Teuchi and his daughter discuss the strange combination of Uchiha Itachi and the red-eyed crow. He just said in a low voice, "It's too smart..."

"I'm sorry, Beiyuan is also my friend."

The Three Tomoe Sharingan in Uchiha Shisui's eyes activated again, his expression gradually turning cold. "If Senior insists... can I assume you want to have another fight with the ninja from our village?"

"It's just a crow, it could plunge the entire village into crisis..."

"Senior Kakashi!" Uchiha Shisui refused to back down. He would never do something like killing his friend, especially when everything was still unknown.

"Alright, alright, I was just joking." Kakashi tugged at his mask and said in a low voice, "Honestly, what does that have to do with me..."

Their conversation ended there, but they had to travel together temporarily, facing an enemy who might appear at any moment.

Along the way, Hatake Kakashi seemed lost in thought, distracted, his mental state not very good. Although Shisui was full of curiosity, he wouldn't intentionally upset him.

After returning to the village, they would both likely be summoned by the Third Hokage. Perhaps they could ask for some information then...

Fortunately, along the way, the black and white strange man who could use the Flying Thunder God Technique never reappeared. He had perhaps truly accepted Kakashi's suggestion, making Shisui even more curious.

Konoha.

Uchiha Shisui's shadow clone was waiting there, familiarly tossing the mission target's scroll to Shisui before dispersing itself… It seemed Shisui used this trick often…

The problem was, it wasn't over yet!

"…Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

The dissipating shadow clone reappeared. Uchiha Shisui handed the crow on his shoulder to it: "Take Beiyuan home for me…"

Shisui's shadow clone: "……"

Second update, that's all for now.
