Hokage's office.

"Monkey, the Raikage has gathered his elite troops and is heading towards us."

"Huruzen, the team from Iwagakure has already set out. Has Ōnoki's granddaughter not been found yet?"

"The ANBU lost us. Sigh, that guy has some sneaky tricks."

"The people chasing Darui haven't come back yet. That guy is really not an easy person to deal with."

"Letting a tiger go back to the mountains will bring endless troubles!"

The four high-ranking officials of Konoha gathered together to discuss the next plan.

Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and said calmly, "Someone has to stop the Raikage and the Tsuchikage! How about this, I'll deal with the Raikage, and I'll leave the Tsuchikage to you, Danzo."

Danzo said worriedly: "The Raikage has the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, how can you defeat him alone?"

Hiruzen shook his head: "This is the only solution..."

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely depressing, and the impending battle made everyone shiver.

Bang!

The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Kai rushed in with Kakashi, who looked regretful.

Kai's face flushed as he said, "Hokage-sama, look who I brought back?"

"Kakashi!" x4.

"Yo." Kakashi raised his hand as a greeting.

Men Yan said excitedly: "Kakashi, it's great that you can come back! We were wrong before, and now Konoha Village has reached a critical moment of life and death. We hope that you can put aside the past and fight for Konoha!"

Kakashi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Do you regret telling me the truth? If you could have captured me and handed me over to the Raikage without anyone noticing, there might not have been a series of events that happened later."

Koharu soothed him, "Kakashi, there's no point in talking about this now. Since you're willing to show up, you must have considered it for yourself, right?"

"Uh..." Kakashi looked at Kai, with a thousand alpacas galloping through his heart.

(Kakashi's inner thoughts: If this guy wasn't prepared to fight to the death, I wouldn't have come back!)

Kai patted Kakashi's shoulder with a smile and said, "Hahahaha, Kakashi returns to fight for justice!"

(Kakashi's inner thoughts: Justice, you big head ghost.)

Kai continued: "I have a suggestion. Since the Raikage is so aggressive, why don't Kakashi and I go and see how strong the so-called AB combination is?"

(Kakashi’s inner thoughts: If you want to die, go by yourself, don’t drag me along with you!)

Hiruzen said with relief: "I am so happy that you are willing to make such a sacrifice! I am really ashamed that I broke Kakashi's heart for a short period of peace. I promise that after this war, I will reward you two with the highest courtesy."

Gai shouted excitedly: "With the words of Hokage-sama, I, Konoha's blue beast Might Guy, will attack with all my strength! Ahhhh! I'm burning!"

(Kakashi's inner thoughts: Idiot.)

"But..." Hiruzen's turn of words made Kai stunned for a moment.

"But we know how terrifying the AB combination is. During the Third Ninja World War, only Minato could deal with it. If the two of you go forward to fight, the chances of winning are not high! So, I hope you can lead the team to stop the support from the Hidden Rock Village! Besides, Kakashi's Lightning Release also has a good restraining effect on Earth Release!"

Kai waved his arms violently and said, "No problem, I promise to complete the task!"

(Kakashi's inner thoughts: Oh! If I had known, I would have hidden myself.)

Danzo nodded and said, "This arrangement couldn't be better. Let's prepare to fight back, shall we, Monkey?"

Hiruzen stretched his muscles and said, "Haha, I haven't exercised for a long time! Kakashi, you will be the captain for this interdiction mission. In addition to Kai, do you need to bring anyone else with you?"

"Uh, no thanks." Kakashi shook his head and began to cast hand seals: "Summoning technique."

Bang!

An orange puppy greeted them, "Wow, there are so many people."

Kakashi ordered: "Parker, look for reinforcements from the Hidden Rock Village."

"Hmm..." Parker sniffed here and there, then pointed in a certain direction and said, "There are dozens of people approaching over there. I wonder if they are the support from the Hidden Rock Village."

Danzo nodded: "It should be the direction you're heading."

"Then let's set off. I hope Lord Hokage can keep his promise." Kakashi said, and disappeared with Puck.

"Oh! It's so exciting, this is youth! Lord Hokage, I'll take my leave first!" Kai waved his hand and hurriedly chased after Kakashi.

Xiaochun questioned, "Well, can they handle the Iwagakure army with just the two of them?"

Hiruzen said helplessly: "There aren't many options now. Being able to stop the other party is already a great help!"

Danzo urged, "Let's go, Monkey. The Raikage's team is less than five kilometers away from Konoha."

Hiruzen smiled slightly: "Heh, I'm almost bored staying in the village all the time! Let's go out for some fresh air and greet our friends from the Hidden Cloud Village!"

......

Under Puck's guidance, Kakashi and his companions had already arrived at the narrow and long road on the west side of the Valley of Justice, which was the only way for the Iwagakure Village team to pass.

Since the Valley of Judgment is covered with thick fog all year round, even a senior ninja would find it difficult to pass through it without guidance.

Faced with such obstacles in the terrain, the people of Yanying Village would definitely choose to take a detour.

Above the valley, Kai clenched his fists and said, "As soon as the enemy shows up, we will rush over from above and catch them off guard!"

Kakashi rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Summoning jutsu."

bang bang bang ......

In an instant, seven more ninja dogs of different sizes appeared around Kakashi.

Kakashi took out a large number of detonating tags and steel wires and said, "You understand what I mean, right?"

The eight ninja dogs nodded and jumped up and down in the valley with detonating tags and steel wires in their mouths.

Soon, all the detonating tags were set up.

Kai exclaimed, "Setting a trap? What a clever tactic! You are worthy of being my eternal rival!"

Kakashi rolled his eyes at Kai again and still didn't want to talk.

Then, under Kakashi's command, the Eight Ninja Dogs hid in various places in the mountain stream, quietly waiting for the arrival of the guests.

......

On the other side, the two teams met in the Konoha Forest.

One person from each side took a step forward, and the bamboo hats on their heads revealed their identities.

"fire".

"thunder".

Hiruzen was the first to speak: "Lord Raikage, do you really want to do this? You know that a war will not benefit either of us. How about we talk?"

Ai replied coldly: "You killed my people and injured my guards. You really don't take me seriously! In this case, I don't think there is any need to talk. Let's just start a war!"

Powerful chakra suddenly burst out from Ai's body, and terrifying lightning surrounded him, making him look extremely dangerous!

"Hoo!" Hiruzen let out a long sigh and tore off his white robe.
