Boom!
The gloomy sky rumbled with thunder, and lightning snakes occasionally flashed through the dark clouds, making people fearful, as if they were afraid of being struck!
On a giant tree outside of Denin Village, Kakashi stood motionless, observing the movements within Denin Village through the leaves!
"Splitting up to search, huh!"
Kakashi could easily detect the movements of those Denin ninjas in the shadows!
Then Kakashi looked up at the sky, where lightning snakes occasionally flashed, his eyes filled with determination!
"Two are coming this way, huh, you can only blame your bad luck!"
Immediately, Kakashi saw two Denin ninjas heading in his direction, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch with a cold smile!
"Draw Sword: False Lightning Slash!"
When the two Denin ninjas appeared ten meters in front of Kakashi, he moved. He instantly drew the Tachi on his back and slashed towards them!
Ching!
The dense leaves that had concealed Kakashi were instantly broken, and the blade's light flashed out!
"Not good..."
"Enemy..."
The two Denin ninjas, who were searching in this direction together, were both shocked at the same time Kakashi unleashed his attack. They each cried out in alarm. Looking at the blade's light that was bursting towards them, the two of them felt a chill in their hearts. They immediately used the Kunai and their own swords to block in front of them!
Clang clang!
Kakashi's tachi slashed in front of two Denin ninjas at the same time. The sound of metal clashing rang out, and sparks flew. Both Denin ninjas were sent flying backward by Kakashi's attack!
"Over there..."
"It's that Konoha Anbu again!"
At the same time, Kaede, who had been meditating in Denin Village, instantly opened his eyes. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as his gaze immediately turned towards the direction where Kakashi was. With a flicker, his figure disappeared!
Through the perception of the wind, he already knew that his opponent this time was still Kakashi. He was also surprised; Kakashi had recovered so quickly!
A moment later, Kaede appeared where Kakashi had been, only to see two dead bodies!
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Kaede's eyes turned slightly red, and he roared in anger. His gaze turned icy as he looked around. Then, he closed his eyes again!
Straining to perceive everything around him through the wind, Kaede was certain that Kakashi couldn't have gone far. Only a moment had passed since Kakashi appeared. Kakashi had also killed two Denin ninjas, so he definitely wouldn't have gone more than 500 meters from where he was standing!
"Wind Style: Hurricane Body!"
Knowing Kakashi was within that 500-meter radius, Kaede formed hand seals and unleashed his Kekkei Genkai, 'Hurricane Body.' A wind-style tornado then shot up into the sky!
"There..."
"The leader's signal..."
"The enemy is over there..."
As the small tornado in Kaede's hands blasted into the air, the Denin ninjas who were searching for Kakashi all around immediately noticed it. Each of them murmured to themselves, then all of them dashed towards Kaede's location!
"Hmph, gathering the other Denin ninjas to try and force me to show myself, huh? Then come on, I'll kill a few more if I can!"
Kakashi, of course, saw the signal Kaede sent out using Wind Style in secret, but he still didn't move. He continued to conceal his figure. He would have to reveal himself eventually. And once he truly revealed himself, Kaede, the leader of Denin Village, would immediately catch up. So, even if Kakashi revealed himself now and ran away, it would be meaningless; he would still be caught. Therefore, he might as well kill a few more Denin ninjas!
So, in the shadows, Kakashi continued to hide. Kaede could arrive in an instant at the place where Kakashi had previously killed two Denin ninjas, but it would take the other Denin ninjas longer to arrive. Kakashi was also happy to recover his chakra in the shadows!
He didn't know how long it had been, but within a 50-meter radius of Kakashi, a Denin ninja finally appeared!
"Damn it, it's Rin, one of the three Jonin!"
After seeing who had arrived, Kakashi cursed inwardly. It was actually a Jonin from Denin Village. Although there was only one, Kakashi still frowned. If it had been a Genin or Chunin from Denin, he would definitely be able to sneak attack and kill them in the shadows. But if it was this Jonin, Rin, Kakashi had no confidence at all!
Unless he used Hatake Three Swords, but if he did, Kakashi would have no chance of turning the tables in the battle that followed, when Kaede caught up and entangled him!
Rin, who was constantly advancing, seemed to sense the different atmosphere in the air, and his footsteps began to slow down!
Kakashi's eyebrows twitched slightly when he saw this. What a keen sense of danger!
Kakashi's mind raced, calculating every possible strategy to ambush and assassinate the Denin Jonin, Rin!
Kakashi slowly opened his left Sharingan, which had been closed, while closing his right eye!
If he's good at taijutsu, then I'll try genjutsu! Generally, taijutsu-focused ninjas are relatively weak against genjutsu!
Finally, a red light flashed in Kakashi's left eye, and he made his decision!
He slowly began to form hand seals. When Rin's gaze swept over this way, Kakashi instantly activated the genjutsu!
"Genjutsu: Haze Servant Technique!"
The Denin Jonin, Rin, looked warily at a tree, suddenly seeing a flash of red light. Then, he saw Kakashi's figure appear there!
"The enemy is here!"
The instant he spotted Kakashi, Denin Village Jonin Rin let out a low shout. His voice wasn't loud, but he used chakra to amplify it, allowing it to travel far through the air. Ordinary people wouldn't hear it, but Denin Village's leader, Kaede, who could sense the wind, would definitely hear it!
Boom!
Rin then charged towards the figure of Kakashi he saw, unleashing a swift, direct kick. Although Kaede had instructed them to stall the enemy, Rin had no intention of doing so!
The enemy was just a Konoha Anbu with Jonin-level strength. Rin also possessed Jonin-level strength and was very confident in his abilities, so he didn't even consider just stalling. He wanted to kill the enemy before Kaede arrived!
Bang!
The enemy, Kakashi, vanished in a puff of smoke after Rin's direct kick!
"Substitution Jutsu?"
"Here!"
Rin's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he realized another figure had appeared at his side, launching a series of attacks!
"Idiot, what's Rin attacking?"
Kaede, who was sensing the movement from a distance, heard Rin's words and shot towards Rin's location. As he rushed over, Kaede continued to sense the situation around Rin. He immediately realized that Rin's figure was continuously attacking, but he was attacking thin air!
"He doesn't even know he's caught in a Genjutsu, that idiot Rin!"
Kaede was extremely anxious. Although he was scolding Rin, he was still very worried about Rin's safety. Rin was one of only three Jonin-level ninjas in their village, and his importance to their small village was self-evident!
In just a few seconds, Kaede had arrived within a hundred meters of Rin and could see his figure through the trees!
Swoosh!
However, at that moment, he also saw a figure emerging from the tree beside Rin, attacking him at the same time!
"Rin, get out of the way!"
Seeing this, Kaede was immediately terrified and roared in alarm!…
