"If you really can't find Naruto Uzumaki, you should go find his teacher Jiraiya first, instead of me, a stranger."
"Alright, from now on, we're even."
After speaking coldly, Huang immediately turned to leave.
But at that moment, an urgent message reached his ears.
"Wait, where's Sasuke?"
Is Sasuke in the Demon Village?
Sakura Haruno, who had just arrived, anxiously asked the person's back.
During this time, he completely ignored the panic and astonishment that Kakashi Naruto showed upon his appearance.
However, what surprised him was not only Sakura's arrival, but also Shizune, whom he had entrusted to take over the team, who also appeared.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop Sakura in time."
Shizune arrived next, her eyes revealing a clear sense of apology.
This unexpected turn of events caused Kakashi Hatake to panic somewhat, after all, he was carrying out another important task during this delay.
This task could potentially lead to being implicated in someone's anger!
"Sasuke?"
"Oh, I heard that guy also defected from Konoha, right?"
"So, now you're a rogue ninja, no longer under Konoha's protection, right?"
"If I see it, I will take care of it for you."
Ara indirectly responded to Sakura Haruno's question, without a trace of joking in his words.
Because that guy is the best material to lure out Itachi, bar none.
“Sasuke is also my subordinate. Even if he is a rogue ninja, he should be dealt with by Konoha. If you take any extreme actions, Konoha will not let it go easily.”
In response to the former's intimidation, Kakashi Hatake immediately threatened in a cold voice.
"Hey, you're starting to resemble the cold-blooded Kakashi of the past."
The threat that reached Huang's ears did not move him much.
Instead, it was the raindrops that suddenly splashed on him that stirred a meaningful look in his eyes.
"Hey, Kakashi-senpai, Shizune-san."
"It's a bit strange that it's raining at this time, isn't it?"
Chapter 666 What do the rules set by the Senju lineage have to do with my Uchiha clan?
"Heh, it seems the Hidden Mist Village's ANBU ninjas have arrived, Master."
"This is no ordinary rain, but a secret technique unique to the Hidden Mist Anbu: Rain Cutting. It can not only divide ninjutsu, but also continuously deplete the enemy's chakra energy."
"It seems that these Konoha ninjas suddenly appeared just now with a purpose."
The scorpion, standing to one side, pondered meaningfully.
He naturally didn't know whether the appearance of the Konoha ninjas and the arrival of the Kirigakure ANBU were a coincidence or truly connected.
However, this does not prevent them from making speculations about using this as an excuse!
Ideally, the master's hostility should be completely redirected and directed towards Kakashi Hatake!
Only in this way can one possibly obtain the crucial materials for creating timeless art!
"Although this mere mist concealment technique is insignificant in front of the master."
"But please also be careful to avoid getting wet in the rain."
After making malicious speculations about the private connections between Konoha and Kirigakure, Sasori didn't forget to ask in a low voice, appearing to express his loyalty.
He's not like that idiot Deidara, who's a reckless, brainless fool.
When it comes to getting what they want, they are willing to abandon all pride and stop at nothing!
What ethics and morality, what uprightness and integrity?
From the day he lost his parents, that feeling gradually faded from his heart.
As time goes by, all that remains in his heart is himself and the art that can endure forever.
He didn't want to lose anything more!
Only what is eternal is the true essence of the world!
'but,'
'Kakashi Hatake.'
While pondering, Scorpion seemed to suddenly recall something, and as he silently recited it, he emphasized the former's surname, 【Hatagi】.
According to Granny Chiyo, the executioner who killed her father and mother was the White Fang of Konoha, a Konoha ninja whose real name was Hatake Sakumo.
[Sakumo Hatake.]
[Kakashi Hatake!]
[Son of White Fang!!]
In an instant, the same surname, the overlapping first names, and the defined relationship stirred up some special emotions in Scorpion, who had long since become indifferent to worldly affairs. His modified special heart pounded at this moment, as if it wanted to burst out of the puppet's body and smash into the other's face!
My life, which should have been perfect, was shattered because of this person's father!
Well then, at least let you experience the pain I once endured.
With a surge of thought, Scorpion's extremely dangerous gaze fell upon the pink-haired girl in his field of vision.
【teacher? 】
How about you turn your students into puppets little by little right before your eyes?
Sasori's words and his aggressive gaze caused the three Konoha ninjas, including Kakashi Hatake, to tense up.
Although this unusual rain enveloped them as well, it did not change the undeniable fact that they were indeed waiting for the arrival of the Hidden Mist Village ninjas.
Even Shizune and Sakura, who were not entirely clear about the specifics, had some idea of the mission after recalling the message from Lord Slug.
[Delaying the retreat of the Hidden Demon Village and waiting for the Hidden Mist Village ninjas to deal with the Three-Tails, while our side chooses to sit back and watch the two sides fight.]
It's no wonder that both Tsunade and Kakashi gave orders not to provoke the demons and to stay put.
Upon realizing all this, both Shizune and Sakura's expressions darkened.
Especially the latter, she seemed to realize what kind of trouble she had dragged into Shizune-senpai because of her willfulness.
Fortunately, the still dim light of day somewhat concealed the turmoil on their faces. Kakashi Hatake subtly shifted his position, completely shielding his student behind him, preventing her from directly facing the increasingly undisguised threatening aura emanating from her.
"Lord Ara, please allow me to deal with those shady characters."
Honglian volunteered, saying that although she had immediately used crystals to envelop all her companions and block the corrosive power of the special rain, if she did not dig out all the casters, it would eventually be a process of slowly boiling a frog.
Even with its unique bloodline limit, it could not maintain its special characteristics within the opponent's secret technique, and the energy contained within it was constantly diminishing.
Ultimately, the main reason why my master got involved in the current conflict was to help me rescue Yukimaru.
She should have stood up immediately.
However, Ara did not respond to the woman's request. Instead, after withdrawing his gaze from Kakashi Hatake, he looked out towards a certain direction in the lake.
"Since you're already here, why are you sneaking around and afraid to show yourself?"
"The Fifth Mizukage."
These words immediately created a somber atmosphere.
Not only did Honglian, Lin'er, and the others show solemn expressions, but even Kakashi Hatake and Shizune's eyes revealed shock.
No one expected that this small lake would attract two figures of the highest caliber!
The only two people in the entire scene who didn't show any particular emotion were Yukimaru, who didn't know much about the ninja system or the ninja world, and Sasori, who was deeply immersed in some kind of special emotion.
Especially the latter, who even turned the supposedly strongest Third Kazekage into a puppet, what is the Fifth Mizukage who has only recently taken office?
Compared to the shock of the demon-infested party, the emotions of the Konoha side quickly stabilized.
Yes, although the meeting place is in a remote and insignificant corner, the Three-Tailed Isobu, who was assigned to the Land of Water by the First Generation, is hiding in the lake!
With the Hidden Mist Village's power greatly diminished, the strength of a great nation brought by the Tailed Beasts is undeniable.
Therefore, the rarely appearing [Shadow] gathers here.
Furthermore, for Kirigakure, only the Mizukage and her elite guards could arrive here in such a short time and have the ability to deal with all possible troubles and bring back the tailed beasts that belong to their side.
Such a decisive choice to venture deep into the heart of the Land of Fire, while commending the newly appointed Mizukage of Kirigakure for his extraordinary courage, also reveals the village's dire situation of having no strong warriors available.
"As expected of Lord Youkage, who once gave the previous generation a hard time. It's been years since we last met, and I didn't expect you to have reached such a level. You can even remember my chakra aura."
With her tracks and identity fully exposed, the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, lost all desire to remain hidden and emerged alone from the intact forest on the east side.
It was clear that his appearance had not changed much from several years ago:
Her long, reddish-brown hair cascaded down to her ankles like a waterfall, and a blue dress accentuated her voluptuous figure. Her fair skin shone with a unique, pale glow under the cold moonlight.
If we had to point out any subtle changes, it would be that she has become more composed, elegant, and more feminine.
The brief confrontations on the eastern border of Konoha over the years did not allow Ara to detect Mei Terumi's chakra aura.
After all, the Fourth Mizukage, who was controlled by the Akatsuki organization at that time, and the people of the Hidden Lightning Village who later appeared, were the real dangers he needed to face. He couldn't care less about Mei Terumi, who was only a Jonin at the time.
The reason they were able to identify the other party was naturally because of the extremely powerful energy within him, an energy far more potent than that of Guren or even Kakashi Hatake.
Within Kirigakure at present, the only ones who can possess such immense chakra energy, besides the escaped Six-Tails Jinchuriki, are the Fifth Mizukage, who possesses two bloodline limits.
"So, what is the purpose of your visit, Lord Mizukage?"
Huang Ming asked the question knowingly, his expression remaining calm.
Because the Mizukage and Kakashi Hatake alone could not have a fatal impact on him.
"Isn't Lord Youkage a bit arrogant and conceited? My Mizukage has come today to retrieve the Three-Tails, Isobu, who got lost!"
"That's a question you already know the answer to."
