Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Behind these 5500 ninjas were 4000 able-bodied civilians. They carried shields and held pickaxes, and their expressions were no longer as carefree and uncertain as before. After experiencing the defection crisis, they finally made up their minds and stood firmly on the side of Konoha!

Ahead of these 9500 people was the 30-strong army of the Land of Fire. They were deployed along the border, forming a ten-mile-long blockade line. Each soldier was clad in armor and armed with crossbows and spears. They were ready to unleash a barrage of arrows as soon as the ninjas entered their range, giving them no chance to even use their ninjutsu!

The general rode out on his tall horse: "Ninjas, you've come a long way and have had a hard journey, but unfortunately, this is your final destination..."

Konoha

"Despite countless mental preparations, the disparity in troop strength was so obvious that it left one with no hope whatsoever..."

"At this point, further words are pointless." Purple arcs of electricity crackled around Kakashi, his left eye's Mangekyou Sharingan sharper than the lightning itself: "There has only ever been one way to break this deadlock..."

In the past, only the 'Yellow Flash' could do this in the entire Hidden Leaf Village!

Now, Kakashi, as the Hokage, must strive to emulate his teacher's legendary status!

Crack!

The purple electric arcs on Kakashi's body suddenly exploded, forming a foot-thick purple electric protective layer around his body!

His silver hair stood on end like a hedgehog's quills, each strand as hard as a steel needle!

“Bee, please!” he said to Killer Bee.

"OK~! You bastard, you idiot~!!" Killer Bee placed his large hand on Kakashi's back, injecting Tailed Beast chakra into him, forming a semi-transparent Tailed Beast Cloak with eight tails outside the Purple Lightning protective layer...

“Phew… that’s all I can give!” Killer Bee said.

"Thank you, Kai... for covering me!!"

"Oh!! Roar, youth!!!" Kai crossed his arms, his black hair flying.

—The Seventh Gate of Shock—Opens!

boom!!!

A surge of blue energy erupted as he made his signature gesture, aiming it at Kakashi's back...

—Daytime Tiger!!!

Rumble! ...

Propelled by the full force of the Daytime Tiger, Kakashi raced towards the horizon under the astonished gaze of the 300,000-strong army…

Life or death, it all comes down to this crazy gamble!

That is, to seize the enemy's supreme commander amidst an army of 100,000!

Chapter 431 A Close Call!

"Ow!"

The Azure Tiger, with purple light in its mouth, roared as it charged forward!

The army commander shouted, "No matter what tricks you try, don't even think about making a fuss. Fire the arrows!"

Swish!

One hundred thousand crossbowmen nocked their arrows, the bowstrings and arrows were all made of 'chrome', and with the addition of explosive tags, the lethality was maximized!

After the arrows rose into the air, they traced arcs and descended!

Kakashi was propelled forward by the Daytime Tiger, his left Mangekyou Sharingan gazing fearlessly at the rain of arrows overhead.

Gurgle! The tailed beast chakra covering the purple lightning protective layer gathered unreservedly in his hands, and infused with the nature transformation of the purple lightning, turning into two dark purple lightning balls!

Snapped!

Kakashi suddenly clasped his hands together, forcibly squeezing the two balls of lightning into one, which turned dark purple and crackled with hundreds of electric arcs.

Kakashi kept his palms together, held at his right waist, and after gathering his strength, lightning suddenly burst forth, pushing diagonally upwards with all his might!

—Purple Lightning Secret Technique: Heaven-Piercing Cannon!

Crack!

A purple bolt of lightning shot obliquely across the sky, destroying all arrows in its path!

Whoosh! Kakashi controlled the lightning bolts with both hands, sweeping them away in waves, creating a gap in the sky-covering rain of arrows!

That empty space corresponds precisely to the advancing daytime tiger!

Rumble rumble rumble rumble!!

The arrow rain perfectly missed the day tiger, which exploded into a sea of ​​fire upon landing...

"Ow!!!"

Zhouhu broke through the encirclement and dissipated when he was about a mile from the main army's line.

Snapped! !

Kakashi didn't stop for a moment. Covered in purple lightning, he swept forward like a rainbow piercing the sun, heading straight for the commander of the Land of Fire army at the forefront of the army!

Why did Konoha arrive near the border several days ago, but only decide to break out today?

From the moment Nara Shikamaru proposed this strategic idea... Kakashi practiced it day and night!

When the two armies are locked in a standoff, the Day Tiger under the command of Matthias provides the speed for the advance!

Kakashi's Purple Lightning Armor possesses such formidable defensive power that it can withstand the Daytime Tiger!

When the enemy's arrow rain came, he used the tailed beast chakra transmitted by Killer Bee, combined with purple lightning, to launch a strike that broke through the formation!

Everything went smoothly, and they successfully approached the army's front line!

Facing an enemy many times smaller than themselves, the commander of the Land of Fire's army would certainly not cower behind the lines and earn a reputation for cowardice. This created the possibility for Kakashi to take the commander hostage amidst the chaos of battle!

"His target is the Shogun Oda!!"

"Take him down in the next attack!!"

"The white tiger behind him is no longer there to propel him forward; he has time!"

The soldiers are ready for the second offensive!

Oda watched Kakashi approach, gripped the reins, and narrowed his eyes.

Indeed, without the Daytime Tiger's momentum, Kakashi would have had a hard time breaking through to the front lines during the second wave of attacks!

However, could Kakashi and the others have overlooked this point?

"The Eight Gates... I practiced it in my younger days, but I could only open up to the third gate, the Gate of Life. I picked it up again these past few days and finally broke through to the fourth gate, the Gate of Injury, but this should be my limit... With the speed of the Purple Lightning Chakra Mode, I can catch up!!"

—The Eight Gates Formation, Fourth Gate of Injury—Open!

boom!!!

The distinctive green light of the Eight Gates appeared on his body, his muscles were in a state of high tension, and bulging veins were visible all over his body. Starting from the Injury Gate... it marked the official entry into the risk period of the Eight Gates. The three gates before the Injury Gate only had the side effect of fatigue, but starting from the Injury Gate, it meant substantial damage to the body!

Therefore, the improvement of physical skills by the Injury Gate is extremely obvious!

Kakashi's speed suddenly increased, becoming significantly faster than even with the assistance of the Daytime Tiger...

This was completely unexpected by the soldiers of the Land of Fire. Not to mention nocking an arrow, adjusting the shooting angle and aiming at a fast-moving target was no easy task!

The lieutenant shouted urgently, "General Oda, please take cover at this moment!!!"

Oda yanked the reins, and his warhorse bolted!

"Don't even think about it!" Kakashi accelerated again!

At this moment, a dozen or so archers acting as Oda's guards stepped in and fired arrows swiftly!

Dangdang Dangdang!

The arrows were all blocked by Kakashi's purple lightning protective layer. After all, it was made of the strongest metal 'chromium', which was extremely powerful. The arrow tips penetrated the protective layer by more than a finger's width!

To avoid accidentally injuring the general, the guards' arrows were not equipped with explosive tags; otherwise, even if Kakashi escaped unharmed, his advance would have been greatly restricted, and he would have had no chance of succeeding...

The archers were astonished to see Kakashi withstand the arrows with his bare body, and were about to fire again...

Kakashi wouldn't give them a second chance. He suddenly unleashed a string of kunai crackling with purple lightning, killing them all on their horses!

Crash!!

Two more warhorses galloped towards them, each carrying a strongman pulling a chrome chain, blocking Kakashi's path. Oda was now very close to the army formation, and if these two strongmen could hold Kakashi off for even a moment, the danger would be averted...

Kakashi's eyes hardened, and he slammed headlong into the chains!

"Ah!!!" The powerful impact sent the two strongmen flying off their horses!

With a snap... the chain broke!

Kakashi's speed inevitably decreased, but just as he was about to fail, he suddenly stretched his palm forward!

—Purple Lightning and Thunder Tiger: Annihilation!

"Ow!!"

The ferocious Thunder Tiger, drawn by a bolt of lightning, roared forward and bit down on the leg of the horse beneath Oda's horse!

With a loud thud, the warhorse's two hind hooves broke off.

"Ugh!!" Oda fell to the ground in front of the battle.

"General!!" Fire Kingdom soldiers rushed to the rescue, but were unable to reach him immediately.

"General, catch!!!" A soldier in front threw a chrome spear at Oda.

Whoosh! Oda caught the spear steadily, twirling it in his hand with lightning speed, and thrust it behind him the instant Kakashi was close!

Kakashi caught the spear handed to him with his bare hands and pulled it backward.

"!" Oda lost control of his strength and flew forward.

At that moment, a soldier from behind threw out a chain that wrapped around Oda's waist!

With a clang, the chain tightened!

"!" Kakashi released lightning from his palm, which traveled along the spear, preventing Oda from letting go and paralyzing his body, making him unable to retaliate!

He then pulled on his spear again, using the momentum to step forward. With his left hand, he grabbed Oda, while his right hand, covered in purple lightning, slashed down, snapping the chrome chain in two!

Splash splash splash splash splash!

"General Oda!!" Almost simultaneously, countless soldiers wielding spears surrounded him, filled with fear and anger, yet daring not to make a move!
