"Hatake Kakashi, the legendary Copy Ninja?" Jūzō's eyes changed when he heard Itachi's words. After all, Kakashi was very famous in the Ninja World. "Yes, I just didn't expect him to leave the Anbu. It seems he's started taking on students." Itachi's gaze was calm as he casually explained, but he also felt a headache. Why did he encounter his old superior, Kakashi, in this damned place? No matter what, he still considered himself a member of Konoha. As for whether others agreed, he didn't care at all. "Troublesome..." Kakashi didn't dare to look at his book anymore. He couldn't help but glance at Takemi beside him. This is the 'very dangerous' ninja you mentioned? This isn't 'very', this is clearly 'extremely'! Biwa Jūzō, one of the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and Uchiha Itachi, who single-handedly annihilated the entire Uchiha Clan and was also his Anbu colleague. For a moment, Kakashi even wondered if his jinx attribute had flared up again. Otherwise, why would he encounter such enemies by casually taking on a mission that no one else wanted? "Assassins! Attack!" Kakashi didn't dare to act rashly when he saw these two, but the Samurai clearly didn't care about that. They were already unhappy that their team had two extra ninjas, as if it were a challenge to them. Now that they had encountered enemies, they thought this was an excellent opportunity to prove themselves. Immediately drawing their swords, Chakra traces instantly appeared on their blades. With roars, they charged forward. "Hey, don't act recklessly!" Seeing this, Kakashi quickly tried to stop them, but with his sharp eyes, he noticed that Itachi had already finished his hand seals. Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique! Fierce flames roared towards them. The Samurai could only immediately raise their swords in response. Buzz— However, the moment the flames dissipated, Jūzō had already rushed in front of them without them knowing when. The huge Kubikiribōchō swept out, and two Samurai fell to the ground without even having time to scream. "Bastards!" The other two Samurai cursed in a low voice and immediately rushed ahead, wanting to attack before Jūzō could retract his sword, but Itachi's shuriken killed them before they could even do anything. Jūzō and Itachi's cooperation was quite good. These Samurai were like helpless cattle before the two powerful ninjas. Seeing this, Kakashi could only sigh. These Samurai had lost too quickly. He didn't even have time to find an opportunity to help. "Takemi, leave immediately if you get a chance." Putting away his book, Kakashi took out a kunai and spoke softly to Takemi beside him. "This mission has exceeded the original expected difficulty. The enemies we face are too strong, so you—" Kakashi turned his head, only to find with surprise that Takemi wasn't listening to him at all. Instead, he had somehow taken out a flare gun and shot it into the sky. Watching the flare rise slowly and bloom in the air, he was momentarily stunned. He already understood what Takemi meant, but how was this any different from seeking death? "Flare?" When Itachi used genjutsu to take down the last Samurai, both he and Jūzō frowned, looking at the light in the sky. "Reinforcements?" "Speaking of which, it's a coincidence. Last night in the town, I met the two of you." Takemi blinked at Kakashi, then looked at Itachi and Jūzō with a serious expression. "Especially this ruthless person who is estranged from his family and slaughtered his entire clan. I'm afraid no normal Konoha ninja would be unfamiliar with him. So, we requested Konoha to dispatch nearby Anbu for reinforcement overnight. You have no chance." "..." Itachi was somewhat silent. Although he was mentally prepared, being evaluated like this by a Konoha Ninja still made him feel very uncomfortable. And Kakashi's eyes widened even more. No, you're still provoking them? Are you crazy? "It seems Itachi-kun is quite famous." Unlike Itachi, Jūzō didn't care. He fiercely stared at Kakashi and Takemi. "But brat, have you ever thought about one thing?" "Hmm?" Takemi tilted his head, showing a confused expression, but the next moment he suddenly leaped backward. At that instant, Jūzō had already arrived in front of him, the Kubikiribōchō swinging fiercely towards him. "We just need a quick battle! Itachi, you deal with Kakashi. I'll finish off this brat and come support you!" "As expected..." Kakashi's head hurt. The thing he feared most had happened. Takemi's plan was good, using a flare to scare them away. This would likely make them retreat. But the problem was, if these people were determined to complete their mission, then that flare could be deadly. And now, everything was heading in the direction he least wanted to see. "No, I must get Takemi out of here!" Kakashi gripped his kunai and was about to rush to Takemi to support him, but Itachi had already blocked his path. "Excuse me, Kakashi-senpai." Itachi's eyes were scarlet, his Sharingan staring directly at Kakashi. "Itachi..." Kakashi sighed. He knew a thing or two about this former subordinate. Especially since he heard that Itachi's eyes had become stronger after slaughtering his entire clan, making him even harder to deal with. But no matter what, this battle was unavoidable. As a Konoha Jonin, he had to deal with this rogue ninja. However, his original plan was to deal with everything alone. But now he also needs to find an opportunity to help his disciple. "If I were you, I would choose to leave." As Kakashi pushed up his headband to reveal the Sharingan beneath, his voice turned cold, following Takemi's words. "But it doesn't matter. As long as I hold you off until the Anbu arrive, it will be enough. Today, there will definitely be a conclusion!" "Perhaps." Itachi was calm, but the Chakra in his body was circulating. "Kakashi-senpai might be fine, but what about your disciple?" As he spoke, Itachi had already charged out, and the two quickly engaged in battle. "Brat, if you had just turned around and left, perhaps this wouldn't have happened." On the other side, Jūzō was extremely fast. The huge Kubikiribōchō looked incredibly light in his hands, as if it had no weight. Every time he swung, it created huge sound waves, and the surrounding trees and rocks were easily shattered. Takemi, however, didn't reply. He was deftly dodging continuously. Actually, he also wanted to leave. But seeing these two, he seemed to have an idea of how to complete Kakashi's Exclusive Mission. And coincidentally, he also received a new side quest, so he simply accepted all of them. [Obtain New Side Mission] [The New Light in Kakashi's Heart] [Let Kakashi know who is more important to him now!] Seeing such a mission, Takemi felt somewhat resistant, but considering that he had to fight anyway, he naturally accepted this mission. Of course, he also had some confidence. He might not be able to defeat them, but holding them off shouldn't be a big problem. Although he was indeed lying about reinforcements from Konoha coming soon, Itachi was here. He was probably the one who least wanted to encounter Konoha Ninja. Perhaps giving him an offer he couldn't refuse would work. At worst, Takemi was still very fast... "Then..." Whoosh— After dodging another strike from Jūzō, Takemi's Chakra surged and boiled. "I'll give it a try and see how my Purple Electricity is!" However, at this moment, Jūzō's large sword silently slashed down at him again. But this time, the one whose gaze became somewhat strange was Jūzō himself...
