At the same time,
On the other battlefield.
The youth shimmering with azure lightning was unrestrainedly blooming with the final brilliance of his life.
"Chidori!!!!!"
Amidst the youth's roar, the life of another Kirigakure's Anbu was ended.
The Anbu's heart was shredded by the Chidori. He had tried to prevent this before his death, but his opponent's speed was absurdly fast, even dodging the attacks of his two comrades while casually ending his life.
Light and easy, as if without the slightest effort.
On the ground lay the corpse of another Kirigakure's Anbu. His death was even more gruesome, as his head was directly crushed by the Chidori, not even leaving a complete face for the funeral.
As for the other two Kirigakure's Anbu, the hands holding their swords were trembling slightly. They couldn't understand where this Konoha's youth had erupted with such terrifying combat power.
"Give Rin…"
"Back to me!!!!!"
Blood dripping from the wound on his forehead had stained Kakashi's vision red, but he didn't wipe it away.
He just stared at the Kirigakure's Anbu before him like a ferocious beast.
'Just beyond them was Rin!'
'Just two more kills, and Rin would be safe!'
Tap tap tap!
Tap tap tap!
His steps were urgent.
Kakashi had no intention of stopping. Gripping the Chidori, he charged once more towards the Kirigakure's Anbu blocking his path.
"Hatake Kakashi!"
"You are too arrogant!"
The Kirigakure's Anbu also roared. They are Anbu Jonin, elites from the Village of the Bloody Mist! How could they be slaughtered like chicks by a novice Jonin from Konoha!??
It's a humiliating insult!
The two Kirigakure's Anbu roared and charged forward.
However,
Two Jonin whose names no one would ever know, how could they be a match for Kakashi in his berserk state?
The three engaged in combat, the situation seeming perilous and intense.
Yet, in the very first exchange…
Crack!
The Kirigakure's Anbu's sword was split in two by the Lightning Attribute Chakra pushed to its qualitative limit. Then, the owner of that sword was instantly beheaded by Kakashi going all out.
"What?"
The remaining Kirigakure's Anbu was nearly scared out of his wits, 'What kind of monster was this? In less than half a minute of combat, he had killed three Jonin!??'
'This was truly unconceivable!!!'
Then,
After another two or three exchanges, Kakashi's Chidori once again pierced through the chest of that Kirigakure's Anbu with overwhelming force.
Pfft!
His heart shattered.
"You... you…"
"Cheating!"
"I refuse to accept this!"
Even at the moment of death, that Kirigakure's Anbu's face was full of indignation. Before the fight, he had seen that this Konoha's youth came covered in wounds.
He even vividly remembered that during the raid on the Konoha camp, this unlucky brat had his arm broken by Sora and was kicked into a severely wounded state.
By all accounts, Hatake should have been at the end of his rope, his body on the verge of collapse at any moment.
So where did he erupt with the power to instantly instantly kill four Jonin from!?!?
At this time, over a dozen Kirigakure's Anbu who had rushed from afar to support them all watched Kakashi with vigilance and caution. No one recklessly charged forward to block him anymore.
He was just too ferocious!
Kakashi's earlier frantic outburst had directly stunned these Kirigakure's Anbu. It was like he was killing with cheats enabled. Even these cold-blooded killing machines from the Village of the Bloody Mist didn't dare to run up and die easily now.
"No need to worry."
Meigetsu watched Kakashi from afar, her face impassive, "Hatake Kakashi has a deep bond with the Three-Tails Jinchūriki. We don't need to rush to rescue her at all, because it's impossible for him to kill his own comrade with his own hands."
"This…"
"Is the weakness of Konoha's Ninjas!"
As a genius Ninja from Kirigakure, famous like Kakashi, Meigetsu had seen through the situation on the field at a glance.
Kakashi was already in a state of overdrafting his body. If they just delayed a little longer, he would probably die from Chakra Exhaustion.
Chakra is a power derived from the body and spirit!
Judging by the frightening combat power Kakashi could erupt with even after being severely wounded, he was either burning his own body or overdrawing his spiritual energy. Whichever it was, he couldn't last much longer.
Berserk also has its limits!
Thus,
A very bizarre scene appeared on the field.
Over a dozen Kirigakure's Anbu surrounded Kakashi from a distance, engaging in guerrilla warfare. No one rashly charged forward for a one-on-one fight anymore.
Each was waiting for this berserk, cheating Konoha's Ninja to die.
Shuriken!
Kunai!
All sorts of ninja tools flew like they were free.
For them, victory was assured!
After all, this naïve Konoha's Ninja couldn't possibly attack his own dear friend, right?
The battle situation instantly reversed.
Kakashi wasn't a iron-muscled man like the Third Raikage. Facing the dense barrage of ninja tools, he naturally had to dodge, either using Body Flicker Technique to evade or using his sword to deflect them.
But no matter how he handled it, it consumed the scant Chakra left in his body.
Time passed minute by minute.
Kakashi's vision became increasingly blurred. The blood flowing from his forehead almost blocked his eyes.
'Can't drag this out any longer…'
'That terrifying Anbu hasn't appeared yet. If he makes a move, there will be no hope for Rin!'
Fear still existed in Kakashi's heart. He vaguely remembered the figure that descended from the sky, the one who killed the Akimichi Clan's Jonin with one strike. That strength was far beyond what he could resist now.
'I must use my last bit of strength…'
'To kill them all!'
Kakashi gritted his teeth tightly. A large amount of blood flowed from his damaged mouth. That pain brought a moment of clarity to his drowsy, heavy brain.
'I must not betray Obito's wish!'
'Even if I have to sacrifice this life, I will kill all these Kirigakure's Anbu and save Rin!!!'
When he looked up again, Kakashi's originally exhausted face was filled with a resolute expression. His eyes even shone with the light of hope, as if all the vitality within him was burning.
'Staking my life…'
'Final strike!'
Kakashi accelerated madly, charging towards Meigetsu's location. He had recognized this woman as the enemy's commander.
Kill the commander first, then rescue Rin in the ensuing chaos!
This was the decision Kakashi made in an instant!
"Be careful!"
"Don't fight him to the death!"
Meigetsu's face changed. Her hands quickly formed hand seals, then she rapidly raised her hands, assuming a pose like holding pistols.
"Water Release: Water Gun Technique!"
As Chakra surged, two bullet-like droplets of water shot forth from the fingertips of Meigetsu's index fingers, which were formed like gun barrels.
'I can dodge it!!!'
The two tomoes in Kakashi's Sharingan flashed. The speed of the Water Gun bullets slowed down in his eyes, their trajectories gradually becoming apparent.
Kakashi narrowly dodged the Water Gun bullets. The Chidori in his hand roared angrily. Just ten more meters, and he could kill that Kirigakure's commander!!!
Hope!
The hope of saving Rin was about to appear!
Squelch!
Just at that moment-
Kakashi's raised Chidori suddenly pierced through something.
Then, the blood that abruptly splattered onto his face instantly made Kakashi's entire body become extremely rigid.
He lifted his head.
His eyes widened.
His gaze, despairing and frantic, fixed upon the gentle smiling face that had suddenly appeared before him.
