At the same time, her medical chakra transformed into emerald threads, tightly binding Kakashi's wrist: "Three o'clock!"

Using the threads as leverage, Kakashi somersaulted in mid-air, dodging the bone spikes that pierced from behind. Lightning surged, and he severed three of his water clones with a single strike.

"As expected of Kakashi with the Sharingan."

The leader of the Kirigakure ANBU, a member of the Hozuki clan, retreated to the treetop, his neck eerily elongated and twisted, like flowing mercury.

"Unfortunately, the water transformation technique is immune to physical attacks."

His six subordinates behind him simultaneously formed hand seals, and seven water tornadoes shot into the sky with overwhelming force.

Kakashi shielded Rin behind him, his left eye's three tomoe spinning wildly: "Has your Hidden Mist Village gone mad? The Third Tsuchikage just submitted a ceasefire agreement to the Hokage!"

"armistice?"

The leader of the Dark Division suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, and ice senbon wrapped with explosive tags shot out from between the fangs of the Water Dragon.

"When the Land of Earth cedes its mineral veins at the negotiating table, when the Hidden Cloud Village is terrified by the Yellow Flash, and when the Hidden Sand Village loses even the One-Tailed Beast—this is the perfect time for us to reap the rewards!"

The torrential rain of senbon blasted the ground into countless holes, and Kakashi, carrying Rin, nimbly weaved through the explosions.

"Konoha's three-pronged attack has already exhausted its strength."

Another Hidden Mist ninja emerged from the underground pool, wielding a guillotine, and viciously slashed at Rin's neck: "As long as we make a move, Konoha will surely perish, won't it?"

Kakashi's pupils contracted sharply as the Lightning Blade clashed with the blade, unleashing a blinding arc of electricity.

Finally, with the help of his Sharingan, he discovered a flaw in his opponent's hand seals 0.3 seconds before he made them!

Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!

The raging lightning snake surged into the body of the Hidden Mist ninja along the Executioner's Blade.

However, this attack, which should have been immune to the water transformation technique, suddenly caused the Hidden Mist ninja's body to stiffen.

The mask of the ANBU leader shattered, revealing the pale face of a Hozuki clan member: "How is this possible..."

"Water conducts electricity."

Kakashi, panting heavily, ripped off his charred headband, revealing the scar on his forehead.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly.

Kakashi knew that they had to get rid of these Hidden Mist ninjas as soon as possible, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

He gripped Rin's hand tightly, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Rin, we must leave here. These guys from Kirigakure have clearly come prepared."

Lin nodded, her eyes also flashing with determination: "Yes! Let's rush out together!"

Chapter 11, A Loser in Life—Kakashi

The two fought side by side, with Kakashi's Lightning Blade and Rin's medical ninjutsu working together to defeat wave after wave of enemies.

However, the ninjas from Kirigakure came in an endless stream, like a surging tide.

"This absolutely cannot continue!"

Kakashi was extremely anxious, knowing that they needed to find a way to break through the encirclement.

At this critical moment, a brilliant idea flashed through his mind, and he quickly came up with a plan. He abruptly pulled Lin behind him and whispered, "Lin, find a place to hide first. I have a way to deal with them."

Although Lin was full of worries, she obediently nodded and nimbly hid in the bushes nearby.

Kakashi stepped forward and shouted, "Shadow Clone Technique!"

In an instant, several shadow clones of Kakashi appeared on the battlefield like mushrooms after rain.

They each unleashed their Lightning Blade, charging in different directions, leaving the Hidden Mist Village ninjas bewildered and disoriented.

Taking advantage of the rare chaos, Kakashi's true form quickly located Rin's hiding place.

He grabbed Lin's hand and ran frantically out of the outpost, shouting urgently, "Quick! Come with me!"

Kakashi's voice was firm and powerful, as if it could dispel all fear and gloom.

Lin followed closely behind, her heart filled with trust and reliance on Kakashi.

She knew that as long as Kakashi was by her side, they would definitely be able to break through the encirclement and regain their freedom.

However, just as they were about to rush out of the outpost and see the light of day again, a lithe figure suddenly blocked their way.

That was none other than the leader of Hozuki's Dark Side. His eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent, as if he wanted to devour them completely: "Trying to leave? Not so easy!"

Kakashi, showing no fear, stepped forward and declared resolutely, "Then let's fight! Let's have a final battle!"

"You deliberately leaked information saying you wanted to take Rin's life, but your real target was my Sharingan, wasn't it?"

The thick fog suddenly churned, and twelve ice mirrors engraved with the character "爆" (explode) tightly surrounded the two of them.

The leader of the Anbu transformed into a stream of water, moving freely between the mirror-like surfaces. His voice came from all directions, like a whisper from the underworld: "The Yellow Flash is busy on the Cloud Village battlefield, and Orochimaru is being held back by the Sand Village puppet forces. After tonight, Konoha will lose another genius..."

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the mirror shattered, and Kakashi's Sharingan suddenly gushed out bright red blood, a shocking sight.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at that moment. He witnessed the bizarre scene of seven Hidden Mist ninjas simultaneously forming the "巳" hand seal, and saw Rin open her arms in terror, resolutely standing in front of him.

"Water Release: Big Explosive Water Wave!"

With a deafening roar, a colossal wave surged forth, instantly engulfing the entire forest, as if it were about to devour all living things.

To be honest, Hozuki Suigetsu hadn't expected today's operation to go so smoothly; it was beyond his imagination.

When formulating the raid plan, Hozuki Suigetsu, the leader of the Kirigakure ANBU, and three Kirigakure Jonin were fully prepared. However, when they approached the outpost, they were detected by Konoha ninjas, thus turning the infiltration operation into a frontal assault.

However, perhaps the weather was kind tonight, or perhaps Konoha was too careless, thinking the war was about to end, and their vigilance was relaxed.

The ninja on night duty tonight turned out to be a guy who had just recovered from his injuries and was not in good spirits.

While he struggled against the sleep demon, the Hidden Mist's ANBU seized this rare opportunity and, under the cover of the Hozuki clan's secret techniques, silently eliminated him and continued their advance into the interior of the Konoha outpost.

Kakashi Hatake, the strongest man in this outpost, walked out of the outpost alone for some unknown reason and looked up at the starry sky.

His conversation with Nohara Rin caused him to miss the precious opportunity to discover the Kirigakure raid in the first place.

Even his absurd reason of using his Sharingan to see the scenery caused him to run out of chakra, preventing him from quickly escaping with Rin Nohara at a crucial moment...

Of course, Uchiha Eizo did not believe that Kakashi would simply surrender and fall into the hands of Kirigakure.

Hatake's reputation for being evenly matched is well-deserved. Against someone as quick-witted and resourceful as Kakashi, any rashness or carelessness on the part of Kirigakure could allow him to seize an opening and turn the tide.

Of course, the Hozuki clan expert leading the Kirigakure team also seemed to be very clear about Kakashi's characteristics.

Therefore, from the very beginning of the war, he exploited Nohara Rin's "weakness" to constantly force Kakashi to make the choice he least wanted to make—

Consume chakra to break ninjutsu.

At this moment, he unleashed a wide-range ninjutsu, leaving Kakashi and Rin with no way to escape and putting them in a desperate situation.

"Ten fingers in quick succession!"

From high above, Uchiha Ei saw that the Hidden Mist Anbu member with the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) skill had hidden himself in water-style techniques to launch an attack, and his target was Nohara Rin, who was standing in front of Kakashi.

Tsk tsk, I remember being very curious about the relationship between Kakashi and his two teammates when I watched Naruto in my previous life.

In retrospect, my guesses from my past life were indeed correct. Rin Nohara had a crush on Kakashi, while Obito had a crush on Rin Nohara. As for Kakashi, he had a special feeling for Obito.

This is truly an amazing love triangle.

So, at this moment, Madara Uchiha must be making Obito experience the taste of "despair"!

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

A massive, swirling earthen wall, like a giant shield, blocked Nohara Rin's path. Those pale finger bones, though incredibly fierce, ultimately failed to penetrate the wall's formidable defense. However, Kakashi Hatake was still startled by the "hidden weapon" protruding halfway out of the earthen wall, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Damn it! The Hozuki clan's area-of-effect ninjutsu combined with the Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) makes it impossible for conventional taijutsu and ninjutsu to break through. But as for special ninjutsu, my chakra is severely insufficient right now..."

"Oh dear, you still have time to daydream? It seems we've been underestimated, Mizuki!"

Oh!

With a piercing sound, Kaguya Taketori emerged from the surging waters. She gave Kakashi little time to think before swinging her sharp bone blade and cleaving through the solid barrier formed by the earth flow.

This time, his target was Kakashi, who had already shielded Rin Nohara behind him.

Kakashi quickly raised his kunai, intending to repel Kaguya's surprise attack as he had done before.

However, this time, the immense power transmitted from the bone blade far exceeded his expectations. It not only easily cleaved the kunai in his hand, but also left a deep wound on his chest, from which blood gushed out.

Seeing Kakashi retreating rapidly with a look of astonishment in his eyes, Kaguya Taketori couldn't help but reveal a smile that was both smug and mocking.

He twirled his sword beautifully while mocking, "Son of the Leaf Village Sword God, tsk tsk, your swordsmanship is truly disappointing! You've given me nothing but disappointment."

Hozuki Suigetsu would not miss the opportunity created by his teammate. He quickly formed hand seals and then chanted in a low voice, "Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"

Kakashi's eyes narrowed, and he instinctively used Kaguya's Bamboo Cutter power to leap into the air, followed by a beautiful backflip, intending to protect Nohara Rin, who lacked close combat skills.

However, in the instant he flipped over, he only caught a glimpse of the opponent's fingertips forming the Water Prison Technique hand seals with astonishing speed, but he failed to notice that a surging torrent of water, manipulated by chakra, had already quietly meandered up in front of the opponent—

"This is bad, Lin..."

As they turned around, another member of the Mist Village Anbu, also wearing a demon mask, reached into the enormous water sphere that had appeared out of nowhere.

At this moment, Nohara Rin was staring at him in the water dungeon, filled with terror and fear, and seemed to be shouting something.

"Hehe, what are you going to do now? Continue to abandon your teammates, Kakashi Hatake?"

Wearing a demon mask, Hozuki Suigetsu's eyes were sharp as knives, yet his tone was surprisingly calm as he asked indifferently.

Chapter 12, The "Fall" of a Genius

With astonishing willpower, Kakashi Hatake quickly controlled his muscle fibers, causing the previously gruesome wound to temporarily close.

"Chidori!"

Kakashi retreated rapidly, but did not go far away. Instead, he used the same trick again, transforming into a dazzling bolt of lightning. In an instant, his figure appeared strangely next to the ninja who was holding Nohara Rin captive.

On Kakashi Hatake's right hand, there was a constant roar of lightning. The lightning chakra was like boiling lava, which not only activated his cells and nerves, but also gave him speed and power that surpassed that of ordinary people and even those of taijutsu-type ninjas.

In the blink of an eye, lightning flashed, and the balance of power instantly reversed!

With a tearing sound, accompanied by the ripping of air, Kakashi's right hand, like a sharp lightning bolt, easily pierced through the water wall hastily formed by the Mist Ninja and his arms that were blocking his chest. The scene was like a scorching blade slicing through soft butter, effortlessly piercing into his heart.

The Shadow Clone Technique, the Substitution Technique, and the Transformation Technique—these three most basic body techniques—are used by Kakashi to unleash their ultimate power. Together, they form his secret weapon for turning the tide of battle.
