86: Chapter 86 Attack! Kakashi goes offline.Kakashi keenly noticed the subtle, slightly flippant and dismissive expressions on their faces.
He suddenly stopped, turned around, and his one exposed dead-fish eye narrowed slightly, carrying a scrutinizing look:
"Hey you two.were you just questioning the Hokage in your minds?"
No!Absolutely not!
Naruto and Sakura, who were walking in front, immediately shook their heads like rattles, denying it loudly in unison, their movements perfectly synchronized, not daring to even turn their heads back.
Kakashi, seeing their guilty looks, sighed helplessly, stepped forward, gently patted Sakura's head, and said in a soothing tone:
"Alright, don't worry.As I just said, C-rank missions usually only deal with armed thieves or wandering samurai, and you won't encounter battles between ninjas."
So, relax.
Hearing Kakashi's assurance, Sakura's tense nerves finally relaxed, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"I see.That's good.We don't have to worry about encountering ninjas from other countries."
"Tch!What a joke!"
Naruto, however, looked indignant and kicked a small pebble away."Still so boring!There isn't even a decent opponent!"
Just then, Tazuna, who had been silently walking at the back of the group, seemed to stiffen almost imperceptibly.
He lowered his head, a fine layer of cold sweat seeping from his forehead, and his fingers gripping the wine bottle tightened slightly.
This subtle change was keenly noticed by Sasuke, who was always vigilant and habitually observed his surroundings.
Sasuke's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, his eyes sharpening as he silently increased his vigilance: 'What.is this old man so nervous about?'
————————
The group continued on, passing through a relatively open clearing in the woods.
Bored out of his mind, Naruto began to look around, studying the wildflowers and weeds by the roadside.
Suddenly, Kakashi, who was walking at the front, paused slightly.
His gaze fell on a small, conspicuous pool of water in the middle of the road ahead, reflecting a faint light in the sunlight.
The pool of water was small, but its presence in the middle of the dry dirt road looked extremely unnatural.
Kakashi's mind went on high alert, but he didn't immediately speak up to warn him.
A thought flashed through his mind: 'Perfect.I'll take this opportunity to see how these little guys react in real combat and how alert they are.'
He remained calm and composed, as if he hadn't noticed anything, and continued walking forward with a lazy demeanor, only his pace slowing down intentionally or unintentionally, gradually falling to the back of the group.
The members of Class 7, including the preoccupied Tazuna, walked past the small puddle without noticing.
Just as they all crossed the pool!
Crash—!
Two dark figures burst out of the water like ghosts!Water splashed everywhere!
They wore dark cloaks and hideous metal masks, revealing only their cold, bloodthirsty eyes.
Most chillingly, the two were tightly connected by a thick chain wrapped with countless sharp blades!
"We succeeded!"
One of them let out a hoarse, murderous growl!
The chains shot out like venomous snakes, accompanied by a piercing metallic scraping sound, and instantly wrapped around Kakashi, who was at the back and seemed completely unprepared!
The sharp blade was deeply embedded in his body!
"Kakashi-sensei—!"
Naruto and Sakura turned around at the sound and saw this horrifying scene, screaming in terror!
The two mysterious ninjas worked in perfect coordination, exerting their strength simultaneously and pulling the objects sharply to both sides!
Pfft—!
Amidst the teeth-grinding cutting sound, Kakashi's body was instantly sliced into several pieces by the high-speed rotating blades on the chain!
Limbs and severed arms, along with blood mist and thick smoke, scattered and crashed heavily to the ground!
"Kakashi-sensei!"
Sakura was so frightened that her face turned pale and she almost fainted.
Naruto's pupils shrank sharply, his mind went blank, as if he had been struck hard by an invisible hammer!
"You're the second one!"
A cold, emotionless voice rang out behind Naruto like a ghost!
Two mysterious ninjas had appeared behind Naruto in an instant, their chains, gleaming with a cold light and mingling with the smell of rust and blood, rushing straight toward Naruto!
A pure, cold killing intent, seemingly capable of freezing the soul, enveloped Naruto completely, as if it were a tangible force!
This was the first time Naruto had personally faced a ninja who had killed countless people, and personally witnessed the pure killing intent released by a ninja who had killed countless people!
The feeling was like falling into an ice cave; his limbs stiffened, his blood congealed, and even his thoughts seemed frozen!The shadow of death instantly gripped his throat!
'Am I.am I going to die?' Fear overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.
"Hey!Naruto!Stop spacing out!"
Deep within his consciousness, Ichigo's clear yet urgent voice boomed like thunder!'Didn't you want to become Hokage?You can't even handle these two petty thieves?'
'But.Kakashi-sensei.he.'
Naruto's consciousness struggled with fear.
"Idiot!" Luffy's energetic and angry voice rang out immediately after, "Don't underestimate the abilities of a Jonin!How could that white-furred fox die so easily?"
Luffy's words were like a lightning bolt, shattering the fog of fear in Naruto's mind!
That's right!Kakashi-sensei is a Jonin!
That's the powerful ninja who could contend with and easily subdue countless enraged shadow clones!How could he possibly be so easily killed by such a sneak attack?
"How dare they hurt our comrades!" Luffy's voice was filled with undeniable rage."Knock them out!Naruto!"
Comrades!Harming comrades!Unforgivable!
"Aaaaaahh .
The body, which was originally frozen by the killing intent, was instantly ignited by the roar of his comrades and the fury of protecting his companions!
Naruto let out a deafening roar, thatHis voice was filled with suppressed anger bursting forth!
His body's instincts outpaced his thoughts!As the two people behind him watched Naruto's helpless, trembling body with amusement, Naruto suddenly turned around, his arms wildly flailing in all directions as if out of control!
"Rubber—randomly hitting it!"
Bang bang bang bang bang-!!!
In an instant!Countless orange-yellow fist shadows, wreathed in faint yet blazing golden light, erupted indiscriminately in all directions from Naruto's center, like an out-of-control storm!
Extremely fast speed and incredibly violent power!
The mysterious ninja who had just appeared behind Naruto, thinking victory was in his grasp, was the first to be attacked!
Before he could even react, he was struck hard by the sudden, chaotic yet dense barrage of punches!
"puff!"
One of them spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward as if hit by a speeding carriage!
