"Looks like we've found something. Let's go meet up quickly."
The other two teams in the forest quickly converged on the location where the signal had been raised.
Ten minutes later.
Sixth-class member Yamaneko spotted a rock that had been moved. On a whim, he quickly lifted it and found a black notebook underneath.
"Captain, we've found it!"
"Watch out..." Kakashi exclaimed.
" Wood Release: Great Forest Technique" Tenzo flicked his hand, and tree roots and vines quickly extended from his arm to intercept the attacker.
Click...
The vines were shattered by streaks of brilliant blue light, but this also slowed down the opponent's movements.
Having found the codebook, the Yamaneko reacted quickly, hastily dodging to the side.
puff...
"Ah..." The Anbu armor he was wearing was slashed open by the blue air blade, and blood spurted out.
Clang!
Kakashi arrived just in time and rescued him, urgently saying, " Tenzo, stay with me to hold off the enemy! The rest of you, quickly escort the intelligence away!"
The first principle of the Anbu has never been protecting its comrades, but rather the mission itself.
"Roger that!" The other five people helped the injured Yamaneko and turned to retreat.
Can they escape?
Aoki Tsuki waved his hand, and a large group of people immediately emerged from the surrounding jungle, blocking the retreat route of the Anbu.
"Attack! Kill them all!"
"Kill!!..."
The members of the Anbu had no way out; they had to risk their lives to send the intelligence back to the village. The silent forest was instantly filled with shouts of battle.
Shuriken and Explosive Tag were thrown at each other.
Boom boom boom...
The sound carried for miles, Kakkō shot into the sky.
Although the number of members in the Anbu was not superior, each member was an elite soldier who knew how to cooperate with each other, and for a time the two sides were evenly matched.
"Take down the injured one first."
Puff puff puff...
Faced with such a large attack, Yamaneko, who was already injured, was immediately riddled with Shuriken, but he had already handed the codebook to his companions.
"This won't work, let's split up."
The remaining five Anbu immediately split into five groups and fled in five different directions, leaving the Akatsuki members completely bewildered.
They can't fight alone; they rely on their numbers. If they split up, they might lose their courage.
There was no time to think about it now; they could only quickly split into five teams and pursue the enemy separately.
"Don't let this woman escape; the codebook must be on her."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Kunai mixed with Shuriken flew everywhere.
" Dance of the Crescent Moon "
The purple-haired Anbu figure split into three, their blades flashing, and managed to intercept all the incoming weapons.
call out...
A silver throwing knife launched a sneak attack from behind amidst the chaos.
Pfft...
"Ah..." Blood spurted from the right shoulder of the purple-haired Anbu, making it impossible for him to lift his sword.
"Gotcha, hahaha..." Seeing this, Sekiga Earth Flow and said, " Konoha's Anbu is nothing special."
Sekiga swiftly finished off his opponent with three sharp throwing knives in each hand.
"Go to hell!"
As the flying knife approached, the purple-haired Anbu instinctively shrank back, awaiting death.
Ding ding ding...
At the critical moment, a person wearing a green vest stepped in front of him and blocked the throwing knife.
Quack quack quack...
A flock of crows flew in from the dark forest, shrouding the people of Xiao and disrupting their vision.
"Another enemy?"
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
A huge orange fireball crashed down on the group from above, instantly burning several people.
" Dance of the Crescent Moon "
The same move, only the voice changed from a woman's to a man's.
"Damn it!" Sekiga was startled, and then his vision was filled with countless sword shadows.
Puff puff puff!!
"Ah... Captain Sekiga is dead! Run!"
They can only fight when things are going well; once they encounter a strong enemy, running away is their instinct.
The person who shouted had just turned around when they saw a blue shadow flash by, " Konoha Whirlwind, Ata!"
Thud...
He was immediately sent flying, landing motionless on the ground, while the others took the opportunity to scatter and escape.
" Hayate, Aoba, Might Guy, what brings you here?"
" The Third was worried, so he arranged for us to come and meet him," Aoba Yamashiro explained.
He then went to the person who had been knocked unconscious by Might Guy, pointed a finger at the person's head, and began to use his Mind Reading Technique.
" Yugao, let me bandage your wound."
Gekko Hayate quickly took out bandages from his person to help Uzuki Yugao treat her wounds, saying, " Team Kakashi always handles high-risk missions; it's still too much for you."
After Uchiha Itachi Uzuki Yugao his place as a substitute member and joined Anbu Team Six.
"It's okay, I can manage."
Uzuki Yugao indicated that she was alright and quickly urged:
"This mission is of utmost importance. I'm just a decoy to distract the enemy; I don't have the intelligence. You all go and support the others."
Snap!
Might Guy clenched his fists and exclaimed excitedly, "Yosh! Youth is about never giving up! Let's get going!"
"Wait, Might Guy..." Aoba Yamashiro said, " Yugao, do you know who has the information?"
Uzuki Yugao shook her head. "Just to be on the safe side, neither of us knows who the Yamaneko gave the information to before it died."
"That means we now need to split our forces into four groups."
"I can do it." Uzuki Yugao quickly stood up.
Gekko Hayate glanced worriedly at Uzuki Yugao, then nodded and said, "Be careful!"
"Um."
At this time, the other four groups of Anbu were being surrounded and intercepted by Akatsuki, and were frantically trying to escape. Not everyone was so lucky; some were hacked to death without even leaving a complete body.
A fierce battle is breaking out in Tsukimizato.
Kakashi's Taijutsu are exceptional, and his ability to adapt to changing situations is top-notch; he always manages to escape danger.
Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique
Two water dragons rose simultaneously from the riverbed, colliding violently and canceling each other out.
"As expected of the Copy Ninja Kakashi, as a genius, can't you be a little more creative?" Aoki Tsuki said angrily.
This is why he was unwilling to fight Kakashi. No matter what technique he used, Kakashi, who possessed all the Chakra natures, could always copy it completely using his Sharingan.
The most important thing for a ninja is their own abilities and information.
This person is the kind of shameless scoundrel who can discern all of an enemy's abilities in a single encounter.
He no longer dared to use Ninjutsu, otherwise all his secrets would be stolen.
" Ninjutsu is just a means of combat; innovation isn't important."
Kakashi replied coldly that his and Tenzo's main task was to hold off Aoki Tsuki.
" Cloud Piercer!"
Lightning flashed violently across the blade of Futsunomitama; the essence of this move lies in using Lightning Release release to generate high-frequency vibrations to enhance its penetrating power.
Seeing this, Kakashi quickly attached his Lightning Blade to the Kunai.
The opponent was clearly using a specific breathing rhythm, which he couldn't replicate, but he could accurately track the attack trajectory.
thunderbolt...
The powerful collision between the blade tip and the Kunai ultimately prevailed over the advantage inherent in the weapon itself.
Click!!
The Kunai snapped in two on the spot, and the long sword followed suit, thrusting straight towards Kakashi's chest.
"This sword... is indeed extraordinary..." Even in this critical moment, Kakashi didn't forget to observe and analyze.
Wood Release: Silent Binding Technique
Tree roots and vines sprouted from the ground and unexpectedly bound Aoki Tsuki's body, while Kakashi's hands once again shone with blinding lightning.
He concentrated his Lightning Release in his palm, creating a high-intensity electric current, and then used it to launch a high-speed thrust.
" Lightning Blade!"
call out...
A series of high-speed water droplets shot towards him, but Kakashi dodged them precisely by tracking their trajectory with his Sharingan, and tried to continue his advance.
As expected, Aoki Tsuki manipulated his hair to counterattack, repelling Kakashi and taking the opportunity to break free from the Wood Release's restraints.
Kakashi is indeed powerful, but his weakness is that he doesn't have enough chakra; he's already starting to pant.
However, once he has strong teammates to cooperate with, his combat power can rise rapidly.
Aoki Tsuki was also stalling for time, waiting for Akatsuki's men to retrieve the cipher book. If so many people couldn't handle a few members of the Anbu, they might as well die.
Kakashi launched another attack, using the " Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique ".
" Water Release · Water Formation Wall "
As the water extinguished the Great Fireball, Tenzo launched a sneak attack from the side, and several sharp rocks instantly shot up from the ground.
Earth Release: Earth Flow Spear
Aoki Tsuki was prepared and quickly jumped to dodge, while simultaneously spitting out a high-pressure water jet that swept across Tenzo.
Click...
Yamato's body was cut in half diagonally, and then turned into a wooden figure.
" Wood Clone?"
After dodging the attack, Tenzo reunited with Kakashi and said, "Senior, this guy is difficult to deal with. Continuing will be disadvantageous for us."
"Hmm, huff... huff..."
Kakashi's forehead was beaded with sweat as he thought to himself, "If Itachi were still in the team, that would be great."
The opponent was very cunning. No matter what tactics he and Yamato used together, the opponent could always accurately see through them, turning it into a war of attrition.
His biggest weakness is attrition warfare.
" Tenzo, next you Water Release in conjunction with my Lightning Release."
"Understood."
Tenzo Hand Seals, and a water dragon quickly took shape in the river. At the same time, Kakashi unleashed his Lightning Release.
Lightning Beast: Tracking Fang
Wolf-shaped lightning bolts and water dragons streaked across the sky, advancing in separate directions and attacking simultaneously from the left and right.
Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique
A water dragon also rose behind Aoki Tsuki, deflecting Tenzo's Water Dragon Bullet, but it was powerless against Kakashi's Tracking Fang Wolf attack.
The Thunder Wolf pierced his body, and a splash of water spilled onto the ground.
Rumble...
Suddenly, a huge wave gushed out from the pool beside them, sweeping towards the shallows.
" Earth Release · Earth Flow Rampart "
A massive earthen wall rose from the ground, blocking the waves. As the waves rose, the Earth-Style Wall rose as well.
Yamato has never run out of Chakra, so he can use Ninjutsu at will.
Click...
A pair of golden arms pierced through the thick earthen wall from underwater, tearing it open, and water gushed out from the crack.
Kakashi and Yamato quickly jumped onto the top of the earthen wall.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
High-pressure water jets sprayed from the water, relentlessly blasting the two men, who could only dodge in a sorry state.
In just a short while, the thick, tall earthen wall was cut into pieces and collapsed with a crash.
