"Hatake Kakashi."
Kakashi is correct.
For some reason, when Kakashi heard the three words "Gojo Satoru," he felt a little irritated for no reason.
He looked back at the kunai that flew away, pierced through the clouds, and disappeared.
"Is this your jutsu? Or the Summoning beast?"
Shien did not answer his question but said calmly, "We just want to leave, leave this village that does not welcome us; please give us some convenience."
Since Konoha doesn't want the power of Uchiha, leaving in silence is the best and most decent thing for both parties to do.
Logically speaking, with the death of the entire Uchiha clan, all related properties would belong to the two survivors, Shien and Sasuke.
They didn't want it.
I didn't even ask for "severance pay."
Just like Shien said, he just wanted to leave in disgrace, that's all.
Do we have to kill them all?
Snap—
Kakashi closed the intimate paradise in his hand, lifted the forehead protector covering his left eye, and poured Chakra into both eyes. He vaguely saw the tall figure, like a sculpture, standing behind Shien.
"I'm sorry; this is nothing personal, it's just work."
He took out three shurikens from his waist and threw them with his backhand.
Ding ding ding!
Star Platinum punched all of them flying.
The Kakashi in front of him disappeared, and a mysterious sound of wind came from behind Shien.
Star Platinum turned around.
The bright moon cast silver light, and the tall figure of Star Platinum cast a thick shadow, covering Kakashi, who was approaching from behind.
The long hair was flying wildly, and the pair of eyes was intimidating without anger, just like a furious King Kong. Just by looking at him, one could feel a terrible sense of oppression.
Kakashi was about to dodge with his steps, but he was no faster than Star Platinum.
Star Platinum grabbed Kakashi's head, swung it around, and threw it to the ground.
Bang—
Water splashes all over the sky.
Kakashi turned into a stream of water and splashed.
Water clone technique.
This is just a test.
In the shadows a dozen meters away, Kakashi thought:
"Just like what the intelligence said, within a two-meter range, I am invincible in close combat. This kind of oppressive feeling is something that even Guy has never given me."
"In that case, let's try some ninjutsu."
Danzo's orders had no effect on Kakashi, and his control over ninjutsu ensured that little Sasuke would not be hurt.
Kakashi quickly formed seals with both hands.
"Water Style!Water Dragon Bomb Technique!"
Kakashi's hand seals were formed at an astonishing speed. Before the water splashed by his water clone even hit the ground, it transformed into a water dragon again and soared into the sky.
The water dragon was filled with terrifying power; its scarlet eyes were filled with murderous intent. It opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Shien.
"Ola!"
Star Platinum threw a dull punch, and a dent was immediately made on the water dragon's ferocious head.
Without giving Suiryu time to recover, Star Platinum roared and punched Suiryu again and again, actually trying to destroy a B-level ninjutsu with just his fists.
Suddenly, Shien's feet were empty, and he was dragged underground.
Earth Style・Decapitation in the Heart.
In such a short period of time, he performed three ninjutsu consecutively with exquisite coordination.
He used water clones to test the enemy, Water Dragon Bomb to lure the enemy, and the decapitation technique in his heart to subdue the enemy. He kept a distance from Shien throughout the whole process, and he alone achieved the effect of a ninja team.
He is worthy of being called the master of ninjutsu of Konoha.
The water dragon used its last life to entangle Star Platinum. It took Star Platinum half a second to rush back, which was enough time for Kakashi to put the kunai on Shien's throat.
"I won."
The moment Kakashi had this thought.
The platinum star that was fighting with the water dragon disappeared out of thin air, and vines emerged one after another.
Purple vines wrapped around nearby buildings like ropes, and just at the last moment when Shien was trapped on the ground, they pulled him out and threw him high into the sky.
The howling wind messed up Shien's hair.
But Kakashi could see clearly that Shien's eyes were extremely calm.
Kakashi sensed danger.
The vines disappear, and Star Platinum reappears.
It grabbed Shien's arm, spun him twice in the air, and threw him towards Kakashi like a baseball.
Seeing Shien approaching rapidly, Kakashi's heart skipped a beat, and he pushed off the ground with his feet, moving away from the attack radius of Star Platinum.
But it was too late—
"Ola!"
A fist harder than diamond smashed into Kakashi's face.
Bang!
There was a flash of smoke.
Leave a wooden stake behind.
Body Replacement Technique.
Little Sasuke had seen the world after all, and he noticed the talisman paper stuck to the wooden stake.
"Be careful! It's a detonating talisman!"
The pace of the battle between the two was too fast, so fast that Sasuke couldn't react at all, and only now had a chance to warn.
Star Platinum smashed the wooden stake with one punch and extended his fingers with his other hand.
With absolute precision and speed, the fingertips cut the detonating tag from the wooden stake like a scalpel, severing the detonating fuse and leaving no chance for the detonating tag to explode.
Ten meters away, Kakashi reappeared with a serious look in his eyes.
Before the actual fight, Kakashi still looked down on Shien a little, thinking that he just had special abilities.
Kakashi has seen many ninjas like this who only have one trick to conquer the world. As long as he can find a way to restrain them, he can solve the problem quickly.
But now, Kakashi found that things were not that simple.
The key is not the ability of the stand.
It's Shien who uses this ability.
His calmness and instant judgment on the battlefield... are very strong.
Little Sasuke at the side felt the solemn atmosphere and subconsciously clenched his fists.
Sasuke wasn't the only one paying attention to this battle.
In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage was smoking a pipe and peering into the crystal ball in front of him.
A dozen flying insects were suspended in the air, their compound eyes looking down, transmitting the image to the Aburame family.
Hyuga's case is even simpler. The Byakugan can penetrate the wall and watch the live broadcast directly.
Countless pairs of eyes, with their own complicated thoughts, watched this battle.
"Kakashi has become stronger again. His tactical choices and the speed at which he performs ninjutsu are impeccable."
"But facing such a Kakashi, he is not at all inferior..."
All eyes fell on Shien.
It is not difficult to find out about his file. He is the most famous loser in Uchiha and is determined to live a life of lying down.
Could it be that he has been pretending for more than a decade?
Why?
Stealing intelligence?
No, to steal intelligence, you have to climb up as much as possible. You won't be able to steal any key intelligence if you stay at the bottom.
So... he is a pure hermit?
A pair of eyes looked at Shien with different emotions, and the same question lingered in their minds:
"Who are you?"
If Shien could hear this question, his answer would be:
"An ordinary unlucky guy."
I have been studying hard all my life, and just when I was about to go to work and earn money, I traveled through time.
It would have been fine if it was just time travel, but when I opened my eyes, my entire family had been killed, and I no longer had the right to live a life of idleness and waiting for death.
Instead of comforting the survivors, those in power wanted to kill him off.
The obtained JOJO Stand system is more of a balanced compensation for this misfortune than a benefit of time travel.
"Brother Shien, can we win?" Sasuke asked.
Shien created too many miracles tonight, but Hatake Kakashi was also a strong man who fought on the battlefield with real swords and guns. A series of high-frequency battles had exposed Shien's characteristics and weaknesses.
Absolute melee dominance and weakness in mid-range and long-range.
As long as Kakashi continued to harass with ninjutsu, kept his distance, and delayed time to wait for support from the rear, Shien could only passively take the beating.
As for using the Platinum Star to throw Shien out and quickly close the distance like before, not to mention that it puts a great burden on Shien's body, there is a certain time difference in between.
Kakashi had enough time to dodge and perform the Body Replacement Technique.
Even Sasuke could see the problem, and the people hiding in the dark and monitoring the battle could also see it.
"The battle is over."
Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head slightly and leaned his old and tired body back on the chair.
A hand appeared, attracting the audience's attention.
Shien gently touched Sasuke's little head, ruffled his middle-parted hair, and said with a smile,
"We will win."
win?
How to win?
Shien attacked Kakashi again, and the two fought each other. Star Platinum seized an opportunity again and punched down.
A familiar cloud of smoke flashed by, and Kakashi used the Body Replacement Technique to appear more than ten meters away, ready for the next round of attacks.
But Shien didn't move.
Shien, who had been attacking, stood quietly where he was, and the Platinum Star also disappeared.
Danzo, who was hiding behind the scenes, looked at the surveillance footage and snorted coldly: "After all that big talk, you finally gave up?"
He expressed the thoughts of many people.
Even Sasuke at the scene thought Shien had given up.
Only Kakashi's hair stood on end.
He sensed a strong sense of crisis and was about to escape again, but he found...
Can't move?!
Several purple vines sprouted from the ground and wrapped around Kakashi's legs and waist. The vines tightened like steel cables, trapping him in place.
"When?!" Kakashi asked.
"When you feel that you have grasped my weakness and that you can surely win."
Kakashi isn't the only one observing during battles.
He saw Shien's weakness.
In turn, Shien also observed Kakashi's weaknesses.
First, due to insufficient chakra, some long-range and large-scale ninjutsu cannot be used at will.
Second, the dodge range of the Body Replacement Technique is about ten to fifteen meters.
Based on these two points, Shien constantly switched the Hermit's Purple during the battle in order to set up a Hermit's Purple blockade net with a radius of 20 meters centered on himself.
As long as Kakashi uses the Body Replacement Technique, no matter which direction he dodges, he will eventually fall into the entanglement of the Hermit Purple.
Body Replacement Technique, not teleportation, but with his whole body tied up, Kakashi can no longer escape.
But...so what?
Shien can only use the power of one Stand at a time.
This is the result of Kakashi's observation.
The Hermit's Purple cannot cause actual damage to Kakashi. Once Shien switches to a stand, Kakashi, who has prepared in advance, can use the stand to dodge the attack in the first place.
"I know what you're thinking."
Shien pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket.
Kakashi was shocked to find that it was the detonating talisman that he had attached to the wooden stake when he first performed the Body Replacement Technique.
"I really can't hurt you, but this one should be able to."
Shien reignited the detonating talisman, threw it in front of Kakashi, and patted Sasuke's little head.
"Leave."
Sasuke looked back at the detonating tag that had been dropped on the ground.
"Not sticking to him?"
Shien shook his head.
No need.
Kakashi had held back before, and none of his moves were aimed at vital points. Shien had no grudge against him, so there was naturally no need to kill him.
Kakashi stared blankly at the backs of the two people, one big and one small, walking away.
He is known as the Ninjutsu Copier. Since his debut, he has copied countless Ninjutsu. During the war years, he has seen many mysterious bloodline limits.
Shien's stand-in was beyond his understanding.
But what is even more beyond our understanding is the person Shien.
Kakashi smiled.
"What an interesting young man."
boom--
The explosion sent flames shooting up into the sky.
Shien left the explosion behind, and along with it, his identity as a Konoha Shinobi.
He raised his hand and waved it behind him.
This scene is like a famous painting, imprinted in the memories of many observers.
The flames of the explosion disappeared, and Shien and the other person sank into the darkness and disappeared.
