One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

An eerie silence fell until Obito detonated the explosives at the Kannabi Bridge. The group then quickly fled, with Kakashi telling Rin and Obito to leave first, as he had other matters to attend to.

After his companions left, Kakashi slowly approached the silent, one-armed man. Although the man's hair color had changed and his physique had been disguised, the familiar feeling remained, and his lips trembled slightly.

"Are you... Father?"

With a "bang," the white mist dissipated, revealing Sakumo Hatake's original face, only now a bit older than before.

"Kakashi, you've had a tough time. It seems you're doing well in Konoha and have made new friends..."

Kakashi's face contorted slightly with anger, like a stray kitten that had been wandering for a long time suddenly encountering its former owner.

"Why, why don't you go back to the village? Why did you abandon me!"

Sakumo Hatake lowered his head and smiled.

"I'm sorry, Kakashi, please forgive me..."

Kakashi rushed forward and plunged into a long-lost embrace, after which Sakumo Hatake explained what had happened to him.

After a moment of silence, Kakashi spoke calmly.

"That lonely old man who always wanted to incorporate me into his family, what a despicable person..."

Sakumo Hatake and Kakashi spent half a day together. Just like before, Sakumo Hatake handed the grilled fish he was holding to his son.

"Your table manners are still so refined. That girl in your team named Rin is quite nice. Kakashi, you're at the age where you should be looking for a girlfriend..."

"Tch, Dad, stop teasing me..."

After spending the night together, Kakashi quietly packed his gear the next morning.

"Father, I'm going to find them..."

"Ah, I understand, Kakashi!"

"Then farewell, Father!"

Kakashi eventually left Kusagakure, and although Sakumo Hatake didn't insist that he stay, they each had new ties to their respective families!

Kakashi, who was searching for Rin and Obito, wore the Kusagakure headband and roamed openly in the dense forest. Using Sakumo Hatake's map, he quickly caught up with Obito and Rin.

After successfully completing the mission and returning to the main camp, Minato Namikaze allowed the three members of his squad to rest for a while before being dispatched again to the Kirigakure battlefield to support the Uchiha. He would then get an understanding of the situation in Iwagakure before heading there.

Before they even reached the coastline, they encountered a new setback.

At this moment, the three unexpectedly encountered an even greater danger. Within the Land of Fire, they actually ran into the ruthless duo from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who were secretly gathering...

In a mountain village, corpses were scattered everywhere, with charred and fragmented bodies stuck together. Not a single woman, child, or elderly person survived, creating a horrific scene resembling hell.

Two figures were standing in the middle of the village, chatting and laughing, joking with each other.

"Shenba, you're really merciful. You just killed those civilians in an instant, letting them die without suffering..."

"Tch, skewering, this is the art of explosion. It's much more satisfying than your slow, tedious killing.

Suddenly, a giant fireball flew towards the two, scorching the spot where they had been standing. Obito appeared on the battlefield with bloodshot eyes.

"You bastards, how dare you attack unarmed civilians!"

Looking at the Sharingan in the newcomer's eyes, Muli Jinpachi couldn't help but speak with disdain.

"The Uchiha who got entangled with those trash on the coastline?"

"I just came out to kill some time because I was bored, but it looks like I'm going to have some fun this time. You can have the other two little guys, Kushimaru. I'm going to blow this little bespectacled guy to pieces..."

Kakashi faced the agile Kushimaru Kurihara, wielding a long sword and sewing needle, without hesitation. He charged forward, displaying dazzling swordsmanship and engaging in a fierce battle with his opponent, using his slender build to avoid many dangers.

Deep underground, Black Zetsu, attached to White Zetsu, wore a smile.

"We failed to capture Obito Uchiha, this loving child, in Kusagakure. Today, through the deaths of two of our comrades, we will send this loving man utterly into darkness!"

Obito was no match for Jinpachi Murashi. He only managed to stall for a short while before the experienced opponent seized an opening and caused an explosion caused by the flying blade.

Obito was severely injured by the explosion and lay on the roadside, his body covered in black soot. The other party slowly approached.

"With this level of Fire Release ninjutsu, you'd be considered exceptionally talented even among the Uchiha. Are you ready to face your destiny?"

He raised his ninja sword high, ready to bring it down, but the speed at which the blade fell was suddenly stopped.

Rin, her face full of anxiety, stood protectively in front of Obito, holding a kunai, and said stubbornly.

"I will absolutely not allow you to hurt Obito!"

"Tch, I'm not interested in a flat-chested little girl..."

With just two casual slashes, Muri Jinpachi wounded Rin, then kicked her into the nearby ruins, proudly showing off to Kurihara Kushimaru.

"You've been slacking off during this time of infiltration, Kushimaru."

"I've already taken care of those two little ones..."

Faced with the taunts, Kushimaru's anger reached its peak, and he increased his attack speed, quickly piercing Kakashi's arm with the thread of his longsword and sewing needle.

"You nimble little guy, I've finally caught you!"

Faced with a desperate situation, Kakashi, anxious to protect his comrades, gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain, pulling out the stitches from his arm. He then used Chidori with one hand to force back Jinpachi Murashi, who was preparing to execute Obito.

Blood dripped continuously from his fingertips onto the ground as Kakashi spoke earnestly to Obito.

"Take Lin and run!"

Obito pointed to the bones that had been blown up, revealing small sections of the thighs.

"I don't think I have any ideas..."

"Damn it, this is troublesome..."

Kakashi tore off a strip of cloth with his mouth to stop the bleeding. Looking at the Mist Ninja who were advancing in unison, he couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

He then took out his ninja tool bag, and shuriken and throwing stars fell all over the ground.

Seeing this, Wu Li Shenba couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

"What, are you completely panicked? Don't worry, you'll suffer a lot as you go!"

Kushimaru Kurihara then took out a long sword and gestured at Kakashi's neck with a sewing needle.

"I'm going to torture you to death!"

"They've dirtied my stitches!"

Suddenly, Kakashi's face lit up with joy, and he took out a yellow flower ornament and stuck it in the ground.

Obito looked at Kakashi with a face full of despair.

"What kind of time is this to be playing flower arranging games!"

"You don't know anything! This is something my father... an old friend gave me to save my life!"

Kusashiba, who was compiling a new set of teaching materials in Kusagakure Village, suddenly stopped writing.

"Oh dear, is Wu Wukai in trouble? Well then, let me help you out!"

A blue halo of light quickly formed, and Cao Zhi's figure disappeared from the office a few seconds later.
