Karot went upstairs to rest, leaving Kakashi alone in the courtyard.

Kakashi arrived outside a room, but lacked the courage to open it. This was the house where Sakumo Hatake had committed suicide. Kakashi had never been here since Sakumo's death; tonight was the first time.

"Father, if Carrot and I had made the same choice back then, would you be alive now?"

Kakashi braced his hand against the door, but ultimately failed to open it.

"Ugh!"

Carrot, who had been pretending to be asleep on the second floor, sighed softly. He turned over and fell asleep.

The next morning, Carrot was already stretching his muscles in the yard.

His punches are swift as a rabbit's leap, yet his retractions are as still as a virgin's stillness; every move, every stance, is perfectly natural. He stands still, retracting his fist. He exhales deeply.

"This is the Turtle Hermit School you were talking about?"

Kakashi, who had arrived long ago, asked, "Karot's techniques are very direct and simple, but they always give people an inexplicable feeling. Those who imitate him live, those who learn from him die."

"Yes."

Carrot picked up a towel and wiped his sweat.

"Take me to pay respects to my father later! It just doesn't feel right to come all this way and not do so."

Karot felt a bit weary. The original Hatake Sakumo was still alive, but the one in this timeline was dead, and he, Hatake Karot, was Hatake Sakumo's son. In short, this feeling was hard to describe.

"can."

"What does the father in this timeline like? I can't go empty-handed on our first meeting."

Kakashi ignored him and left. Only Karot remained, shouting after Kakashi's retreating figure.

"Take me to breakfast first, Kakashi."

Carrot and Kakashi stood before the memorial stone. Carrot, following local custom, offered flowers.

"Kakashi, do you think he deserved to die like that?"

Karot looked at the memorial stone and said to Kakashi.

"This is my father's own choice, and I can't interfere."

"Is that so? But are you content with that? Are you content to let the enemy remain at large?"

Karot's barrage of questions left Kakashi speechless.

"I'll give you time to think it over. If you want to do it, just let me know and I'll help you get rid of them all."

Karot stared directly into Kakashi's eyes as he spoke. At that moment, Kakashi felt a pang of envy for the Kakashi of the other timeline; having an older brother wasn't so bad.

"I'm leaving now. Think it over carefully."

Carrot waved his hand behind him as he walked away.

Kakashi squatted down and touched the memorial stone, saying...

"Father, what should I do?"

This question is directed at Sakumo Hatake, and also at himself.

"Come out, you've seen enough already."

As Carrot finished speaking, the space in front of him suddenly spun, and a figure appeared.

"Who are you? Why are you with Kakashi?"

A masked man dressed in a long black robe with blood-red clouds asked Carrot.

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking someone's name? Don't you have any manners?"

Carrot wasn't going to tolerate this guy who came on business trips with such a show-off attitude. He's almost as arrogant as me. He'd be much less friendly to you.

"Since you're unwilling to talk about it, then there's no need to."

The masked man attacked directly, thrusting a kunai at Carrot. Carrot dodged to the side and threw a punch. The opponent made no attempt to defend, and Carrot's punch passed right through the enemy's body.

"Oh, no wonder they didn't dodge or evade; so that's their tactic."

The two sides clashed once again in a fierce battle of physical prowess. The enemy was fighting with a death-defying mentality; as long as you couldn't hit me, I was invincible.

"Are you getting too cocky?"

Carrot's speed has increased. As long as my attack speed is faster than your speed of using spatial power, you will not be able to dodge my attack. In the world of martial arts, speed is the only way to break through.

"Boom."

The masked man, in disbelief, crashed into the tree. The entire tree collapsed with a loud crash, as if it had been snapped in two.

You've angered me.

The masked man stood up and raised his head. His Sharingan beneath the mask darted rapidly, attempting to cast a genjutsu on Carrot.

Carrot appeared in a vast, white space that stretched as far as the eye could see.

"Feel the loneliness. Be alone in this place until you die."

The masked man was determined to teach Carrot a lesson; he hadn't been injured in a long time. Today, he was beaten up by an unknown person, and although no one saw it, he couldn't fool himself—he'd completely lost face.

"you sure?"

Carrot's mocking voice rang out.

"Ok?"

Before the masked man could react, Carrot had already grabbed him by the neck.

"Do you think if I use a little more force, I might break your neck?"

"what's the situation?"

This was the only question in the masked man's mind. Not even a second had passed before he realized that not only had his genjutsu been broken, but someone had also grabbed him by the neck. Didn't the Black Hand of the Ninja World have any dignity?

The masked man used his spacetime powers to blur his neck and quickly flashed backward.

"Swish, swish, swish."

They quickly moved out of Carrot's attack range.

"I was careless just now and fell for your trick. Now I'm going to get serious."

The masked man suppressed his initial disdain for Carrot. This man had suddenly appeared, and his strength was formidable. If he hadn't followed him out of curiosity, he wouldn't have known that Konoha had such a figure. The masked man instinctively categorized Carrot as a Konoha ninja.

Chapter 74 Come to the Rescue

Carrot teleported instantly and struck the masked man in the abdomen.

"Wow."

"Don't you know that when two sides are fighting, they shouldn't talk too much nonsense?"

"you……."

The masked man suddenly couldn't breathe.

"Oops, did I use too much force?"

The masked man clutched his stomach and jumped backward, landing on a tree branch.

"I can't keep up with his attacks at all, it seems I have no choice but to use that."

The masked man's crimson eyes were fixed on Carrot.

"Divine power."

As time slowly passed, the masked man became increasingly incredulous as to why my divine power had no effect on him.

It did have an effect, but when Carrot sensed it, he used his ki to protect his body, and the masked man's Kamui couldn't break through Carrot's ki. Therefore, it couldn't harm Carrot.

The longer Kamui was used, the more blood began to flow uncontrollably from the masked man's eye sockets, forcing him to shut down Kamui.

"Why did you stop? If you had just persevered a little longer, you might have succeeded."

To the masked man, these words were nothing short of mockery.

"Damn it. Who is this person? All my attacks have been suppressed by him."

Kamui had been invincible since his debut, but unexpectedly, he suffered a crushing defeat here. He was already considering retreating. To continue fighting when you can't win would be foolish. However, after giving Carrot a deep look, the masked man used Kamui to leave.

Karot had the ability to keep him, but he still hoped to leave Naruto and the others with an asset in the end. Now that Obito Uchiha was killed, who would help them deal with Madara Uchiha?

"Let's go check on Naruto!"

Carrot said that he knew very few people here.

"brush."

Naruto was sitting cross-legged by the pond, learning to sense the power of nature. He had made great progress; the marks from the beatings were gone. The Child of Destiny is truly different; he learns so quickly.

Naruto lost control and absorbed too much energy. The toad-like features on his body began to appear.

"Snapped."

The shadow clone struck with the stick, instantly dispersing the natural energy.

"hiss."
