Naturally, she had also become one of the primary intelligence targets for the various villages' Anbu.
Although the Anbu was no place for a human being, it did have one advantage: when you encountered an enemy, you could more or less work out who you were facing.
Of course, knowing who you were facing was not meant to help you escape, but merely to give you a chance to exploit an information gap and kill your opponent.
In the few months since Kakashi had joined the Anbu, he had increasingly begun to act like a qualified member. Clearly, he had put considerable effort into intelligence as well.
"Yes, it should be her, assuming the photograph in the intelligence report was correct." Xia Yan nodded before slowly continuing, "And the technique she just used should indeed have been Scorch Release."

As far as their mission was concerned, killing her outright really would be better.
After all, they already had Yashamaru in their custody, and there were only two of them. Dealing with Pakura afterward really
