“Leaf ANBU!”
Seeing Kakashi’s attire, the enemies and Kurenai’s team were surprised. The enemy ninjas were angry, while Kurenai’s team felt a surge of joy.
“Silver hair! Could it be him?”
When Kurenai noticed Kakashi’s hair colour, her eyes brightened. She had learned from Rin that her idol, Kakashi, had joined the Leaf ANBU. Recognising the hair, she suspected it might be him, though she didn’t dare say it out loud. Even if she was right, she had promised Rin not to reveal it.
The more Kurenai looked at Kakashi’s back, the more she believed it was him. Over the past three months, she had seen Kakashi a few times through Rin and had memorised his silhouette.
Shishin and Sanniang could only admire Kakashi’s back. Seeing a Leaf ANBU in person was a rare sight. Coming from notable families, they knew about the existence of the ANBU even though they were Genin.
“Damn Leaf ANBU, you better get lost, or I’ll kill you too!”
Seeing Kakashi, the enemy leader’s eyes flashed with apprehension, but he spoke viciously. They were on the verge of killing three highly potential Leaf rookies, only to be interrupted by another Leaf ANBU. His frustration was palpable.
“Try it if you can.”
Kakashi replied calmly, looking at the enemy leader with an air of arrogance, showing no regard for him.
“So cool!”
Although she couldn’t be sure it was Kakashi, Kurenai still exclaimed, admiring Kakashi’s confident demeanour. This was the aura of someone truly powerful.
Shishin and Sanniang were even more envious, hoping to one day reach a level where they could ignore such enemies.
“You’re courting death!”
Enraged by Kakashi’s arrogance, the enemy leader’s face twisted with anger, his eyes bloodshot. Despite being an elite Chunin with two companions, they held the numerical advantage. While killing Kakashi might be impossible, killing the Genin behind him was feasible if he could stall Kakashi, though it would put him in danger.
“Kill them!”
The enemy leader, thoroughly angry, ordered his companions to attack while he charged at Kakashi himself. He wanted Kakashi to know that his presence wouldn’t save the Genin.
“Earth Release: Earth Split Palm!”
The enemy leader’s right palm again turned to stone, aiming a powerful blow at Kakashi.
Simultaneously, the other two enemy ninjas charged at Kurenai and her team.
“Ah!”
The exhausted Shishin and Sanniang could only cry out alarmingly in this situation. Kurenai, however, looked at Kakashi with eyes full of confidence and anticipation.
“Water Release: Water Wall!”
Kakashi didn’t disappoint. His hands moved swiftly, forming seals, and a water wall emerged, blocking the enemy leader and his two companions forcing them to halt.
“Isn’t that my Water Wall?”
“Such fast hand seals!”
Shishin was astonished, admiring Kakashi even more. The ANBU truly lived up to their reputation, mastering the same jutsu and performing it a third of the time.
“Blade Draw: Lightning Cut!”
After erecting the water wall, Kakashi didn’t stop. He swiftly drew his sword and launched an attack. The Lightning Cut slashed towards the other two enemies, bypassing the leader.
“Watch out!”
Seeing Kakashi draw his sword, the enemy leader shouted a warning to his companions.
Slash!
In an instant, Kakashi’s figure blurred, and a flash of the blade passed through the two enemies, blood spraying from their waists.
Thud! Thud!
The two enemy ninjas fell to the ground, their eyes still wide with shock.
“One… one strike…”
The enemy leader’s eyes widened in horror as he saw his companions cut down in one move. Despite their exhaustion, being killed so swiftly was beyond his expectations.
“Run!”
Fear replaced his anger, and the enemy leader leapt back, attempting to escape.
Kakashi glanced at the fleeing leader, a slight smile on his lips. He planted his sword in the ground and formed seals with both hands.
“Lightning Release: Chidori!”
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
The sharp sound of a thousand birds filled the air as lightning flashed in Kakashi’s hand. The sight of Kakashi in his ANBU attire, illuminated by the electric light, was awe-inspiring.
“What… what is that jutsu?”
“Gathering lightning in his hand…”
“So… so amazing…”
Kurenai’s team was stunned by the sight of Kakashi’s Chidori.
Seeing the Chidori, the fleeing enemy leader was terrified, his earlier anger completely replaced by fear.
