Chapter 5

"Go!"

Kakashi gave a low shout, and with that, he burst out of the bushes, launching a sudden attack on the four Iwagakure enemies when they were closest.

Tōshirō, Obito, and Rin did not dare to be slack either. In a flash, they too emerged from the bushes, charging towards the four Iwagakure ninjas.

Kakashi's speed was extremely fast, and even without using the Flying Thunder God technique, his speed far exceeded that of an ordinary person.

As he charged forward, the chakra fluctuations around his body erupted, and in his right hand, a blue spiral-shaped ball of energy, the Rasengan, had already formed.

He charged directly at the older Iwagakure ninja leading the group!

"Enemy attack!" The Iwagakure leader instantly sensed the movement and shouted in alarm. At the same time, before he could even see the enemy's face, his hands had already quickly formed seals.

[Earth Release: Earth Wall]

A massive wall of earth rose from the ground, blocking Kakashi's path.

The Iwagakure leader let out a sigh of relief, thinking that his powerful B-rank jutsu had perfectly blocked the enemy's attack.

But at that moment!

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed, and the thick, hard earth wall shattered, a large hole appearing in it.

The entire wall collapsed.

The Iwagakure leader was shocked to see a Konoha ninja with golden hair, holding a blue ball of energy, break through the wall and appear right before him.

He looked somewhat familiar.

For some reason, the sight of the golden hair made the Iwagakure leader feel a sudden panic.

However, the situation did not allow him to think much about it.

[Earth Release: Earth Dragon]

The Iwagakure leader's hands moved rapidly, forming a series of complex seals as Kakashi charged towards him.

Suddenly, the ground shook, and a massive dragon's head emerged from the soil, forming a long dragon made of earth. It burst forth with a terrifying aura, opening its huge mouth and lunging at the charging Kakashi.

Kakashi remained calm. Seeing the earth dragon attack, he casually threw a specially designed kunai at the Iwagakure leader.

"Hmph, a last-ditch effort... How can a single kunai hurt me?" The Iwagakure leader sneered.

Seeing the kunai approaching, he calmly avoided it, tilting his head to the side.

The kunai passed by his ear without causing any harm.

Unfortunately, it was not an ordinary kunai, and the Iwagakure leader had not noticed the special seal on it.

Boom!

At that moment, a loud explosion erupted.

The earth dragon had completely enveloped Kakashi's figure, biting down and crashing into the ground with its massive mouth.

A strong wind blew, and dust flew everywhere.

If everything had gone as planned, Kakashi would have been crushed into a puddle of mud by the earth dragon.

"Did it work..."

The Iwagakure leader frowned, staring intently at the scene, waiting for the dust to settle to confirm if Kakashi was dead.

At that moment!

"Are you looking for me?"

A calm voice sounded from behind the Iwagakure leader.

"!!!"

The Iwagakure leader was stunned, his eyes wide with shock.

"When did you..."

Just as this thought crossed his mind, he felt a intense blue light behind him, illuminating his peripheral vision.

Bang!

At that instant, a loud explosion rang in his ears, and a powerful force struck his back!

The rapidly spinning storm seemed to contain countless sharp blades, exploding and tearing at his back, as if he had been thrown into a meat grinder.

Flying Thunder God + Rasengan.

This luxurious combo delivered a perfect service to the Iwagakure leader.

Kakashi's Rasengan strike left no chance for the Iwagakure leader to survive. Struck in the back, he was launched like a cannonball.

He crashed violently into the nearby rocks.

His ribs shattered, and his internal organs were destroyed.

"Golden... Flash..."

This was the Iwagakure leader's last thought before he died.

"Captain!"

The death of the Iwagakure leader happened in an instant, leaving the other three Iwagakure ninjas completely unprepared. Seeing this, they were filled with rage and despair.

"Hey, don't get distracted during a fight!"

Tōshirō laughed mockingly, taking advantage of the emotional state of the Iwagakure ninja he was fighting. He saw an opening and quickly punched with his right hand—

Bang!

The punch landed, and a powerful force erupted.

The Iwagakure genin, who had not even had time to grieve, felt as if a mountain had struck his chest, the force penetrating his body and causing him to endure an inhuman weight.

He was thrown back, crashing into the ground.

The Iwagakure genin, who had been punched by Tōshirō, met the same fate as his captain—

His body was embedded in the rocks.

His mouth opened, and blood gushed out, his eyes losing focus, clearly on the verge of death.

Uchiha Obito, Yamanaka Rin, and the remaining two Iwagakure genins were all shocked and felt a sense of disbelief at the scene.

Especially Obito, who, recalling his earlier mocking words and Tōshirō's indifferent expression, suddenly realized—

The clown was actually himself.

Tōshirō was indifferent because he simply didn't care. He was not a medical ninja, so it didn't matter what others said.

Thinking about this, Obito was slightly dazed, and a moment of distraction allowed the enemy to cut him with a kunai, leaving a deep wound on his right arm, blood flowing freely.

Being a dead last, his combat awareness was pitiful, and he could only barely hold his own against the enemy genin. Such a distraction naturally led to him being injured.

Only Kakashi understood Tōshirō's strength and remained relatively calm, thinking to himself, "Tōshirō's combat ability is no less than Kakashi's."

Tōshirō himself didn't feel much, as dealing with chunin would be more challenging, and he might even use a "death" for an injury.

But a genin...

Tōshirō was not about to be so desperate.

Having dealt with one enemy, Tōshirō quickly moved to assist Yamanaka Rin, who was being held back by another Iwagakure genin.

Rin was a medical ninja and not skilled in combat. As a medical ninja, she did not need to fight and was generally a key target for protection by the team and a key target for the enemy.

From the start of the battle, Tōshirō had fought two enemies, Obito had held back one, and Rin had been supporting from the sides, harassing the enemy.

Now that Tōshirō was free, he naturally took over this task.

"Run!"

Seeing Tōshirō charge towards him, the Iwagakure genin was shocked and suddenly shouted, retreating and fleeing.

He even abandoned his own teammate.

Tōshirō was taken aback by this.

Am I that scary?

Why don't you try fighting me first?
