Just as Kakashi had said, although the four of them were not as strong as this enemy, if they fought together, they certainly would not let him kill them. If they went at him one by one, however, he would soon finish them off in turn.
"All right, we'll do everything we can to hold the enemy back. I just noticed that he's already a little weaker than before. It looks like his time is almost up, too." After hearing what Kakashi had just said, Uchiha Itachi turned and spoke to Kakashi and the others.
After hearing what Uchiha Itachi had just said, Kakashi and the others turned to him and said with smiles, "That's right. We all noticed it just now, too. This enemy really is weaker than before. It looks like his drug is about to wear off. If we hold out a little longer, we might be able to wear him down until he dies."
At that moment, the enemy paid no attention to the four of them, merely watching them casually from where he stood.
"All right, then let's do everything we can to keep this enemy occupied. If possible, we must waste all the time he has left before the drug wears off. By then, we probably won't need to kill him. He'll die on his own." Kakashi turned to glance at the enemy, then turned back and spoke quietly to Uchiha Itachi and the others.
After hearing what their captain had just said, Uchiha Itachi and the other two nodded slightly, then each prepared to attack the enemy again.
This time, they were not attacking to kill the enemy, but to buy time. Just as they had guessed, if they could stall until the enemy's drug wore off, he might very well die on
