After doing all this, Kakashi visibly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and faced Yūto directly.
Clearly, Kakashi intended to sacrifice his life to buy time for Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura to escape.
Seeing the scene before him, a rare look of surprise appeared on Yūto's face.
"As expected, people who don't play by the rules bring many surprises."
Yūto raised a hand to his forehead, secretly sighing that he had taken things too much for granted.
Originally, Yūto's plan was to use their pressure to force Kakashi to make a choice. Among the three, both Naruto and Sasuke were relatively important figures to Konoha.
With Kakashi's strength, he could only forcibly take two of the three, and the remaining one would naturally be Sakura, who had no background.
If Kakashi had done that, Sasuke and Naruto would have been completely disappointed in Kakashi, and the subsequent consequence would have been disappointment in Konoha.
Normally, a Ninja who had experienced war would make the choice Yūto had designed, as it maximized benefits, both for himself and for the Village.
Unfortunately, Kakashi did not do that. Instead, he used this special method to resolve his current predicament.
However, thinking about it carefully, Kakashi's action was somewhat within expectations.
"Fortunately, I made two preparations."
Looking at Kakashi, who was standing not far away preparing to fight with all his might, Yūto smiled lightly and formed a few hand signs with one hand.
At this moment, Naruto, who was riding on the back of a large dog, suddenly stiffened.
Inside him, the Nine-Tailed, sealed in its cage, suddenly opened its eyes and let out an angry roar:
"Yūto!!!"
Intense negative emotions erupted from the Nine-Tailed. The sealing tag, which had already been torn in half by Yūto, still blocked a large portion of the Nine-Tailed's rampant Chakra, but a small amount of Chakra leaked out.
A red Chakra cloak quickly covered Naruto's entire body, and Naruto's pupils directly transformed into a beast-like shape.
Bang!
With one claw strike, the large dog Naruto was riding was directly scattered!
The other two large dogs also quickly stopped, nervously watching the Tailed Beast-transformed Naruto in the middle.
"Naruto..."
Sakura looked at Naruto's current appearance and couldn't help but cover her mouth.
"This Chakra... how is this possible!"
Looking at the red Chakra cloak around Naruto, Sasuke swallowed hard.
Roar!!
A beast-like roar came from Naruto's mouth.
In just a short time, the single Chakra tail behind Naruto actually turned directly into two.
With the appearance of the second tail, the last shred of clarity in Naruto's eyes was completely obscured by the tyrannical emotions!
Bang!
Naruto stomped the ground fiercely, his entire body turning into a red afterimage, and charged towards Sasuke.
Sasuke activated his Sharingan, but could still only see a blurry red figure. Too fast!
The next instant, Naruto appeared before Sasuke, who looked shocked, and the red Chakra claw slammed down.
Sasuke was sent flying by Naruto's palm, hitting a tree not far ahead, and the large dog summoned by Kakashi was also dispersed by a single strike.
"Sasuke! Naruto, what are you doing!"
Sakura's face changed drastically when she saw the injured Sasuke, and she shouted at Naruto.
As Sakura's voice rang out, Naruto suddenly turned his head to look in Sakura's direction.
"Run!"
Sasuke clutched his chest and shouted hoarsely at Sakura.
At this moment, the large dog beneath Sakura also reacted, quickly turned around with Sakura on its back, and fled in the opposite direction.
Bang!
Naruto's speed was too fast. Sakura had no time to react, only feeling a sharp pain as she was slammed onto the ground.
Frenzied, tyrannical Chakra continuously emanated from Naruto's body. Naruto in his two-tailed state was simply not something the current Sasuke and Sakura could handle.
The Nine-Tailed's Chakra was still being outputted. If not stopped, it probably wouldn't take long for a third tail to appear behind Naruto.
On the other side.
Sensing the extremely familiar Chakra not far away, Kakashi, who was confronting Yūto, his face changed dramatically.
How could Naruto suddenly transform into a Tailed Beast!
Kakashi no longer cared about holding back Yūto and the others and quickly turned to rush towards Naruto.
"Yūto-sama, do we need to go over now?"
Ameyuri Ringo looked in the direction Kakashi had left, her tone carrying a hint of regret.
"Although it didn't achieve the desired effect, the result should be similar. In Kakashi's current state, facing Naruto who is close to entering his Three-Tails state, even if he doesn't die, he will be severely injured or fall unconscious."
Lowering his head and seeing the regretful look on Ameyuri Ringo's face, Yūto reached out and patted Ameyuri Ringo's small head:
"Don't worry, Konoha has plenty of opponents. You'll be afraid you won't be able to handle them all."
Ameyuri Ringo's face flushed red, but her eyes sparkled.
"The prelude to war has begun. Konoha, let me see your true strength."
"That Uchiha Madara definitely left behind countermeasures against me. What about you, Hashirama Senju? Did you also leave behind methods to deal with me?"
A rare look of excitement appeared on Yūto's face as he looked in the direction of Konoha in the distance and spoke softly.
As one of the few top figures in the entire Hokage series, that Hashirama Senju guy wasn't truly naive.
After a while, the excited look on Yūto's face receded again. He turned to Ameyuri Ringo and Haku and said:
"This show is over. Let's go."
A gentle breeze blew, and the three of them, Yūto, had disappeared.
----
Boom!
A huge roar and rampant Chakra filled the surroundings.
"Cough..."
Kakashi directly coughed up a mouthful of blood. However, he didn't even have time to wipe the blood from his mouth before quickly leaving his spot.
Bang!
The spot where Kakashi had just stood exploded directly. Naruto's figure had already appeared there, emitting a huge roar.
A large amount of blood had dyed Kakashi's clothes blood red. Kakashi was holding the unconscious Sasuke and Sakura.
While attracting Naruto, he continuously retreated towards the border of the Land of Fire.
At this moment, Naruto's tails had already entered the Three-Tails state, and even the fourth tail had partially appeared.
Under Kakashi's continuous enticement, they got closer and closer to the border of the Land of Fire. At the same time, Naruto's undisguised Chakra quickly attracted the attention of Konoha Ninja at the inner border of the Land of Fire.
Sweat mixed with blood made it difficult for Kakashi to even open his eyes, but Kakashi dared not stop for a moment.
He had little Chakra left in his body. If he slowed down even slightly, not only himself but also Sasuke and Sakura in his arms would likely be in mortal danger.
Konoha Great Strength Whirlwind!!
Suddenly, an extremely familiar voice entered Kakashi's ears.
Accompanied by a dull crash, the Tailed Beast-transformed Naruto was kicked away by a sudden green figure.
A faint smile appeared on Kakashi's face. The next moment, he completely fainted.
