By this point, Ruri had been fighting this enemy for a long time. During that time, Kakashi and the others had killed nearly all the enemies on the field.
"Captain, there are very few enemies left now. Let's push a little harder and kill them all," Uchiha Itachi said quietly as he came up beside Kakashi.
After hearing what Uchiha Itachi had just said, Kakashi nodded slightly, then told him, "All right, let's hurry and deal with all these enemies. Once we've finished them off, we'll go help Ruri. I took a look just now, and the enemy he's fighting is very troublesome."
After hearing what Kakashi had just said, Uchiha Itachi nodded slightly, then turned to look at Ruri fighting the enemy.
"Yes, the enemy Ruri is fighting really is very troublesome. Unless something unexpected happens, Ruri probably won't be a match for him. We'd better hurry and go help him," Uchiha Itachi said with a smile as he turned back to Kakashi. Then he vanished from the spot and ran off to the side to fight the enemies.
Kakashi turned to glance in Ruri's direction, then turned back to deal with the enemy in front of him.
Ruri, hold on a little longer. We'll be over to help you soon. You mustn't let anything happen to you, Uchiha Itachi thought silently as he fought the enemies.
By this point, both Ruri and the enemy were covered in wounds. Both of them were now approaching their limits.
"What's wrong? Are you reaching your limit too? This really is laughable. It looks like that drug of yours really doesn't last very long," Ruri said to the enemy with a smile.
After hearing what Ruri had just said, the enemy burst out laughing, then told him, "Brat, you're nothing special either.
