Chapter 74 - Kakashi's Choice

Hearing Ameyuri Ringo's disdainful voice, Sasuke let out an unwilling roar, and his eyes instantly transformed into single-tomoe Sharingan.

But unfortunately, as the Thunder Blade surged with electricity, Sasuke trembled a few times and instantly wilted.

"Sasuke!"

Naruto let out a loud roar and charged forward.

Seeing Naruto's actions, Haku, who was standing beside Yūto, quickly stepped forward, forming a hand seal with one hand!

Water Release Secret Technique: Thousand Needles of Death!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The water in the air instantly solidified into senbon, emitting piercing sounds as they shot into the ground in front of Naruto, stopping him from advancing.

"I don't like to fight, so don't come any closer. Also, I am a man."

Haku looked at Naruto across from him, a hint of indifference in his tone.

Naruto didn't care if Haku was male or female at the moment. He raised his fist and lunged at Haku, roaring at the same time:

"Get out of my way!"

Haku sighed softly, moved his feet, and his entire body instantly vanished from his original position, appearing beside Naruto in the blink of an eye.

With a dull thud, Naruto didn't even see his movements. He was directly kicked back.

"These two... so strong!"

Sakura trembled uncontrollably as she saw Naruto and Sasuke defeated one after another.

Looking at Sasuke, whose head was being stepped on by Ameyuri Ringo, Sakura gritted her teeth, took out a kunai from her ninja pouch at her waist, and was about to charge forward.

An angry voice came from the side!

"How can I let a girl charge ahead in this kind of situation! Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!!"

Naruto got up from the ground and roared again at Haku.

Bang! Bang!

A burst of white smoke emerged, followed by over 20 Uzumaki Naruto appearing from the ground, simultaneously charging towards Haku.

"I told you, don't come any closer."

Haku sighed softly, his figure flashed, and he was already among the many Narutos.

Haku's speed was too fast. Even without using Ninjutsu, Naruto couldn't resist at all. In just a short while, all the Shadow Clones Naruto had created disappeared.

At this moment, Naruto looked similar to Sasuke, but compared to Ameyuri Ringo, Haku's movements were significantly gentler; at the very least, his foot wasn't on Naruto's head.

"Damn it!!"

Sasuke and Naruto's faces were filled with unwillingness and anger, but no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't break free from Ameyuri Ringo and Haku's control.

Seeing the two of them, Sakura, holding her kunai, was about to charge forward.

A hand had already blocked Sakura's path!

"What do you mean, sir? Or does the Mist Ninja Village want to be an enemy of Konoha?"

Kakashi stepped forward, looking at Yūto, who was not far away with an indifferent expression, his tone filled with anger.

"The Mist Ninja Village is a peace-loving ninja village, and Kinoshita Yoshiro is an important figure in the Mist Ninja Village."

"But now, the head of the Kinoshita Clan has died inexplicably, and the Mist Ninja Village needs an explanation!"

Hearing Kakashi's words, Yūto spoke righteously.

"Then what is your so-called explanation?"

Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly, his body tensed, clearly ready for battle.

Yūto smiled softly, a charming smile appearing on his face:

"Some things always need to be accounted for, so I plan to invite one of you from Konoha to be a guest in Kirigakure. What do you think? Of course, the choice of this person is up to Jonin Kakashi Hatake."

What!

As Yūto's words fell, Sasuke and the others were all shocked!

And Kakashi's pupils suddenly contracted, his entire brain rapidly working.

Is this the purpose of the Kirigakure?

No, exchanging the life of a clan head for a hostage is completely unnecessary.

Or is this just a way for this Kirigakure in front of him to calm the turmoil caused in the Mist Ninja Village by Kinoshita Yoshiro's death.

Countless thoughts flashed through Kakashi's mind, unsettling him, but on the surface, there was no change in his emotions.

"Leave it to me? Then I refuse!"

Kakashi's firm voice resounded on the field. The next moment, Kakashi pulled down his forehead protector, his left Sharingan spun wildly, and he was the first to charge towards Yūto.

Boom!

A terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from Yūto's body.

"It's been a while since I seriously formed hand seals."

Yūto's tone carried a hint of faint nostalgia. Back then, when he became Mizukage, his Ninjutsu was very strong.

The reason he didn't use much Ninjutsu when fighting Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara was entirely because those two guys were ruthless individuals who could unleash techniques just by clapping their hands together.

Compared to those two guys, Taijutsu was more practical than Ninjutsu.

Yūto extended both hands, and to Kakashi's astonished eyes, both hands simultaneously formed different hand seals with one hand!

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique: Five Dragons Unleashed!

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!

Five massive streams of water condensed in mid-air, transforming into five gigantic water dragons, about ten meters long, appearing behind Yūto, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

"He actually formed hand seals with one hand!"

Sakura couldn't help but collapse onto the ground, speaking with a panicked expression.

Hearing Sakura's words, Yūto pouted, showing an unknowledgeable expression. 'You probably haven't seen someone form hand seals with their eyes.'

Kakashi's figure, which had been charging forward, also froze in place.

If such a Ninjutsu were to attack, even he would have considerable trouble dodging it. More importantly, Sakura, who was standing behind him, would definitely not be able to dodge it!

"So now, Kakashi, sir, make your choice. After all, maintaining this technique is very tiring."

Yūto wiped away the non-existent sweat on his forehead, speaking with a sincere tone.

"My choice is..."

Kakashi stood in place, speaking slowly, but halfway through his sentence, his entire body transformed into a stream of water that spilled onto the ground.

Water Clone!

Bang! Bang!

The moment Kakashi's Water Clone shattered, a muffled thud suddenly came from beneath Ameyuri Ringo and Haku.

Immediately after, a hand covered in lightning simultaneously emerged from the ground.

Two Kakashis burst out from underground, attacking Ameyuri Ringo and Haku.

Both of them were startled at the same time and quickly moved to block, but unfortunately, Kakashi had already planned this and didn't engage in any prolonged struggle.

After disrupting their movements, Kakashi picked up Sasuke and Naruto respectively, and at the same time, rapidly retreated to Sakura's side.

Kakashi quickly formed hand seals and let out a low shout:

"Earth Release: Multiple Earth-Style Wall!!"

Several earth walls, half a meter thick, instantly rose from the ground, firmly enclosing the four of them, forming a four-layered Earth-Style Wall defense.

Each Earth-Style Wall even had a few dog heads hanging on it, making Yūto raise an eyebrow.

Boom!

When Kakashi rescued Sasuke and Naruto, Yūto naturally had no intention of stopping. The five gigantic water dragons directly slammed down.

Faint roars mixed with growls descended, and the first layer of the Earth-Style Wall was easily shattered.
