This level of battle, even ordinary Jonin would not be able to approach, right?
Burning forests, giant craters.
Chakra residue everywhere, and special flame energy fluctuations…
Although I knew Sasuke's strength had skyrocketed after becoming a player, to be able to fight the Fire Shadow Consultant to this extent in just half a year, the Reincarnation Game is truly mysterious.
Compared to the other Four Great Ninja Villages,
due to the decisions of the higher-ups, Konoha Ninja did not truly understand the Reincarnation Game. Although some Ninja knew of the Reincarnation Game's existence, they couldn't imagine its astonishing abilities.
Even as an elite Jonin,
I only understood the terrifying energy contained within the Reincarnation Game after completing the trial and mastering new powers.
"Hatake Jonin, are you going to stop me from killing a rogue Ninja?"
Shimura Danzo's face was expressionless, used to conceal his inner anxiety.
Sasuke's strength exceeded his estimation, preventing him from ending the battle quickly.
The destruction caused by their fight would surely alert the Anbu. The more people who arrived at the Forest of Death, the worse the situation would be for him.
After all,
Sasuke still held evidence of his human experiments.
Thinking of this, killing intent surged in Shimura Danzo's heart as he considered the possibility and consequences of killing Sasuke Uchiha in front of Hatake Kakashi.
"Rogue Ninja?"
Kakashi feigned confusion and asked, "Sasuke Uchiha is my disciple. He's been with me recently and had no opportunity to betray the village. Has the village issued a wanted poster?"
At Ichiraku Ramen, before he participated in the trial, he saw Sasuke purchase a mission scroll and head towards the Forest of Death.
After his trial ended, before he could even react, he heard a huge explosion from the Forest of Death.
The fiercely burning Black Flame was Sasuke's skill.
After becoming a player, aside from sparring with Naruto, no Ninja of his age group was Sasuke's match. Only Hyuga Neji could suppress him.
However,
Hyuga Neji seemed to be very busy lately, acting mysterious and often nowhere to be found.
Thus, the task of fighting Sasuke fell to the Jonin leader of Team 7. Although neither of them went all out, they still gained a slight understanding of Sasuke's game profession and skills.
So, upon seeing the Black Flame, Kakashi suspected that Sasuke might have been attacked and was fighting someone in the Forest of Death.
But he didn't expect the attacker to be the Fire Shadow Consultant, the head of Root, Shimura Danzo.
"He attacked the Fire Shadow Consultant, does that not make him a rogue Ninja?"
Shimura Danzo did not mention the laboratory. It had already been burned down, leaving no evidence. If he didn't admit it proactively and found an opportunity to snatch the research data, this matter could be perfectly resolved.
"Lord Shimura Danzo."
Kakashi's attitude was respectful, but his eyes showed confusion as he asked, "You were attacked by Sasuke, but why were you suddenly in the Forest of Death?"
Something was fishy.
Just the Sharingan covering his arm was suspicious.
He, as an elite Jonin, was all too familiar with Shimura Danzo's methods: scouring various Ninja Clan for talented children to bring into Root, brainwashing them into emotionless killing tools.
Even he himself had once been misled by Shimura Danzo to assassinate the Third Hokage.
So, even without knowing the full story, he instinctively sided with Sasuke.
Although his disciple constantly wore an ice-cold face and clamored for revenge, he was essentially a Ninja with love in his heart.
If not for the sudden appearance of the Reincarnation Game, he would have considered teaching Sasuke the Lightning Cutter during the Chunin Exams.
He didn't believe Sasuke would attack the Fire Shadow Consultant without reason.
Could it be that Shimura Danzo wanted to pull Sasuke into Root?
Kakashi's expression suddenly turned serious, and a faint hint of anger appeared in his eyes as he looked at Shimura Danzo.
I will never allow such a thing.
"Kakashi, get lost. This has nothing to do with you."
Sasuke, who knew the truth, felt only hatred for Konoha.
But seeing Kakashi stand in front of him still touched him slightly.
Kakashi turned his head, squinted, and smiled, saying, "If I leave, the Fire Shadow Consultant will kill you."
Sasuke turned his face away and muttered, "So what? I don't need your concern."
Plop.
Kakashi reached out and ruffled Sasuke's head.
When he was weaker, he could still do this, but ever since Sasuke became a player, he rarely got to touch him again.
"Kakashi, you bastard!"
Sasuke shook his head, shaking off the hand on his head.
Feeling the lingering warmth, his emotions were complex.
After learning the truth of the clan massacre, a tingling sensation continuously welled up in his eyes.
His restless Chakra reached its peak the moment Kakashi's palm landed, as if about to unleash some forbidden power.
All of this
was concealed by Sasuke's lowered head.
Kakashi shed his casual demeanor, his eyes firm as he said, "Don't worry, leave the rest to me."
"Hmph…"
Sasuke's slightly emotional snort was the reply.
"Shielding a rogue Ninja, even Sarutobi cannot protect you."
Shimura Danzo's gaze was sinister as he said, "I haven't settled the case of the Lock Country spy with you yet, and you dare to betray the village, Hatake Jonin, you cannot bear this guilt!"
"Apologies, Lord Shimura Danzo, although you are the Fire Shadow Consultant, you do not have the direct authority to deal with me and Sasuke. You can report anything to Lord Third Hokage."
As his voice fell,
Shimura Danzo's face became extremely ugly, suppressing an inexplicable anger as he questioned, "Are you saying I need to report to Sarutobi Hiruzen?"
"Exactly. Designating a rogue Ninja is the Hokage's right. As the Fire Shadow Consultant, you do not possess such qualifications."
Whoosh.
A kunai infused with Wind Release Chakra was thrown by Shimura Danzo, piercing into the ground near Kakashi's feet.
The wind blades on the outside of the kunai stirred up dust that obscured their vision.
Body Flicker.
Shimura Danzo's figure suddenly vanished from his original spot, reappearing in front of Kakashi, thrusting a kunai forward, trying to force Kakashi back.
Suddenly,
a strong numbing sensation erupted from his foot.
Azure lightning orbs continuously squeezed into Shimura Danzo's foot, then climbed upwards, as if to scorch his entire body.
A thin layer of lightning patterns became visible.
Lightning Storm Trap.
When an enemy approaches, the trap is triggered, creating a lightning storm area that can slow down the enemy.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Tracking Fang!"
A blinding white light erupted from Kakashi's hand, lightning intertwined, transforming into a wolf's head that enveloped his palm, biting towards Shimura Danzo.
There was no killing intent.
So he did not aim for Shimura Danzo's vital points. His hand slowly moved forward, preparing to stab his chest.
It was merely to force the opponent back.
Shimura Danzo leaned his upper body back, dodging the lightning wolf head's bite, but he was kicked away by Kakashi.
"You're a player too?"
Shimura Danzo stood still, his gaze like a venomous wolf, looking at the white-haired youth protecting Sasuke.
The intelligence recorded by the Root Ninja contained a list of all Konoha Ninja who had become players, and Hatake Kakashi was not on it.
The Lightning Storm Trap, which could slow down speed, was too sudden.
There were no Chakra fluctuations.
As a result, Shimura Danzo's sure-kill first move was unexpectedly thwarted by Kakashi.
"I was lucky enough to clear the trial."
Kakashi's eyes held a smile, but the vigilance in his gaze did not lessen in the slightest.
He appeared relaxed, but inwardly, he was secretly complaining.
One trial had almost drained all of his resources, even the Mangekyo, a trump card he had never revealed, had been handed over.
However, the rewards after changing professions were also very substantial.
