In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 6 Is he White Zetsu?
Yilin's eyes did not catch any trace of that person.

All she could hear was the tearing sound of the wind and feel the sharpness coming towards her.

I'm going to die!

Ding dong!

Kakashi pulled a kunai from his ninja tool bag and, relying on his two-tomoe Sharingan, barely managed to catch a glimpse of the figure that was suddenly attacking.

He struggled to raise his arm and barely managed to block the blow.

Sparks flew everywhere.

Kakashi quickly began to think of a solution.

But Kaguya Naoki won't give Kakashi a chance!
Facing a smart, combat-oriented ninja like Kakashi.

Only speed matters.

Only by moving so fast that Kakashi completely loses his rhythm in the battle can victory be achieved.

Otherwise, prolonged delays will inevitably lead to chaos!

Click!

Beneath the white, translucent bones, the kunai looked ready to shatter into pieces.

This illogical scene even surprised Kakashi, whose eyes were usually expressionless.

But being Kakashi, he didn't lose his composure because of this.

He quickly extended his other hand and formed a hand seal with one hand!
Chidori!

A rare sight in the ninja world, this one-handed hand seal technique always catches enemies off guard!
However, this enemy clearly does not include Kaguya Naoki.

Kakashi's hand, crackling with lightning, struck the already formed periosteum.

The Chidori, which is said to be able to cut through lightning and pierce through rocks, couldn't even break through that seemingly thin periosteum!
Only the sensation of lightning conducting through the air, a tingling, numb feeling, and nothing else.

Art fire escape ho fireball!
Suddenly, Rin Nohara unleashed a fire-style ninjutsu, and Kakashi, with perfect understanding, used the force to retreat backward.

Naoki Kaguya dodged the Fireball Jutsu by leaping into the air.

Just then, moonlight poured down, illuminating Kaguya Naoki's figure, which leaped into that Sharingan.

Corpse Bone Vein.
It really is a hidden mist.

A flicker of emotion crossed Kakashi's eyes.

The war that was about to end was destined to be stirred up again by the intervention of Kirigakure.

But for now, let's kill the attackers first!

Fire Escape·Dragon Fire Technique!

Sensing that Kaguya Naoki was closing in again, Hatake Kakashi immediately unleashed another incredibly powerful ninjutsu.

A huge, scorching flame spewed from Kakashi's mouth, attempting to force the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) to move slightly away.

This way, he can calmly exert himself and think of strategies.

But this time, Kaguya Naoki neither dodged nor avoided the attack.

Instead, they sent out a vast ocean far exceeding the size of the fireball.

Water Escape: Great Waterfall Technique.

The water extinguished Kakashi's fireball in an instant and continued flowing downwards.

Kakashi and Rin were both thrown off balance by the swift current.

Kakashi, soaked to the bone, steadied himself and looked at Kaguya Naoki with a serious expression.

While the Sharingan granted him far greater observational abilities than before, it also placed an unprecedented burden on Kakashi's body.

Therefore, his ninjutsu chakra was clearly inferior to that of Kaguya Naoki, a master of the Shikotsumyaku!
Kakashi broke out in a cold sweat as he frantically calculated in his mind how to defeat Kaguya Naoki.

A powerful cultivator of the Corpse Bone Pulse.

His entire body can be used as a weapon, and conventional martial arts, swords, and kunai pose no threat to him.

Even in terms of the scale of ninjutsu, my chakra is far inferior to his.

Even with genjutsu, chakra is still not enough.

They can only rely on the combination of some ninjutsu.

Kakashi fixed his gaze and quickly formed hand seals amidst the swaying water.

"Lin, cover me!"

Nohara Rin nodded reluctantly, her hands quickly forming hand seals.

A large fireball was spewed from its mouth, attempting to force back Naoki Kaguya, who had already approached.

But the next moment, both Kakashi and Rin Nohara couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Within that blazing fireball, Kaguya Naoki, in an illogical way, disregarded the flames and charged out wielding a piece of bone, the massive bone blade slicing through the air and sweeping downwards.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!
Kakashi pressed down with both hands.

The earthen wall that rolled up from the ground blocked the seawater and completely separated Kaguya Naoki and Kakashi.

boom!
The earthen wall broke, revealing the figure of Naoki Kaguya.

Faced with this scene, Rin closed her eyes, while Kakashi stood there dumbfounded.

It seems like the battle is about to end like this!

But at that very moment, Kaguya Naoki's bone blade did not stab Kakashi, but instead stabbed fiercely into the ground!

puff!

Fresh blood gushed from the ground.

Kakashi, standing before Kaguya Naoki, vanished into a cloud of smoke.

Chidori!

Even with his arm pierced, Kakashi still managed to break through the ground and thrust at Kaguya Naoki.

puff!

The bones that suddenly burst forth from Kaguya Naoki's body pierced Kakashi's body, and his hand, which was flashing with lightning, fell limply to his side.

How could this be?

How did they notice me?

Is he a guy with extremely rich combat experience, or does he possess absolute observational skills?

But, it was too late.

Kakashi looked at the mask that concealed everything and let out a useless lament.

Blood was everywhere, and Kakashi, having lost too much blood, fell into a deep sleep.

As his consciousness began to fade, Kakashi's heart was gripped tightly once more.

Once again, I watched my comrades die before my eyes.

Obito, I'm sorry.

Even with your eyes, it's still not enough to protect Lin.

Kakashi thus fell to Kaguya Naoki.

Rin Nohara trembled slightly, her eyes filled with barely suppressed fear. Even Kakashi was defeated so easily; he was truly an absolute monster!

what do I do?
Kaguya Naoki saw everything Rin Nohara did and realized that her fighting spirit had collapsed. He strolled toward her as if taking a leisurely walk.

At the same time, Kaguya Naoki looked around, took out a kunai from her ninja tool bag, and easily helped several Kirigakure ninjas out of the crisis.

Ignoring the continuous gasps of surprise, when Kaguya Naoki looked at Nohara Rin again, her eyes were filled with determination.

Obito, Kakashi.

sorry.

I can't do anything.

But at least, I can bring all the information to that dark world for the village!
Nohara Rin thrust the kunai into her chest, while Kaguya Naoki raised his hands, about to shoot out the bone.

Ding dong!

A large sword suddenly blocked the kunai that was imbued with unwavering determination, and casually knocked Nohara Rin unconscious.

Naoki Kaguya frowned.

Under the Byakugan's vision, he didn't even notice when the Hidden Mist ninja arrived.

Is he a White Zetsu?
Naoki Kaguya was deliberately testing him.

Just then, the system's mechanical notification sounded impatiently, immediately drawing Kaguya Naoki's attention elsewhere.

[First stage mission completed: Received 1 redemption attempt]

They actually gave out a reward directly?

If this reward is included, Kaguya Naoki can now exchange for Melt Shield, Boil Release, Ice Release, and even delay the onset of Bloodline Disease.

After a brief hesitation, he decided not to exchange it for the time being.

He had already prepared all the necessary conditions for stealing Nohara Rin.

Let's leave this exchange for later consideration.

When war breaks out, one should make targeted exchanges based on the type of enemy and the strength of the opponent.

Naoki Kaguya, in an almost theatrical manner, utterly crushed and defeated Kakashi in just one minute!
At that moment, Zabuza's long sword had just been drawn.

Behind his mask, a thin layer of cold sweat seeped through.

He originally thought that Kaguya Naoki's ability to demonstrate talent surpassing Zabuza-sama's at the Ninja Academy was merely due to his bloodline limit.

However, today it seems that this is far from the truth.

Naoki Kaguya possesses astonishing physical skills and remarkably keen observation abilities.

Honestly, Zabuza doesn't believe he could defeat Kakashi in the same tactical situation.

But ironically, Kakashi, despite his abilities, was instantly defeated by Naoki Kaguya.

This must have shocked Zabuza.

He stared at Naoki Kaguya's figure and began frantically thinking of ways to defeat him.

There must be.

He's just a member of the Corpse Bone Pulse. If we don't defeat him, how can we obtain the position of Mizukage?

A resolute look appeared in Zabuza's eyes.

At the same time, the screams in the camp completely subsided, and the noise resumed.

Many of the Hidden Mist ninja had already finished their battles decisively and were converging on Kaguya Naoki.

"As expected of Lord Naoki, he actually suppressed and defeated Konoha's genius Kakashi in an instant."

One of the Hidden Mist ninjas sincerely praised it, and the others echoed his sentiments, also speaking up in unison.

"Konoha is already extremely weak. We not only have the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, but also rising stars like Lord Naoki. I'm sure we'll be able to crush them completely soon."

"The thought of having the chance to wipe out those bastards in Konoha makes my blood tremble."

Listening to the arrogant laughter of these Hidden Mist ninjas, and thinking about their disgraceful behavior in history.

Naoki Kaguya shook his head.

How can we truly defeat Konoha by relying solely on such sneak attacks?
We still need to rely on overwhelming force to suppress them. Right now, the most powerful fighter in Kirigakure is Kaguya Naoki. How can we defeat Konoha like this?
After this morale-boosting discussion had continued for a while, Kaguya Naoki spoke up at the right time, shattering their unrealistic fantasies.

"Alright, let's get started on the mission."

The Hidden Mist Ninja stopped laughing and immediately fell silent.

As the leader of this squad, Naoki Kaguya possesses unparalleled privileges.

Despite being a descendant of Kaguya, he was irreconcilably opposed to the people in the village.

However, in order to ensure the success rate and survival rate of missions, Kirigakure also has an unwritten rule that no internal strife can be involved when carrying out missions outside.

More importantly, everyone must carry out the commander's orders without fail.

bass!
A Hidden Mist ninja drew his blade, ready to slash at Kakashi's head.

"Stop."

Naoki Kaguya spoke upon hearing this, turning to look at the Hidden Mist ninja.

"The Sharingan, and Konoha's absolute genius, can be our bargaining chips to bring him back to the village."

clang!
The Hidden Mist ninja immediately lowered his head, sheathed his sword, and silently hoisted Kakashi onto his shoulder without any objection.

The others shifted their gaze from Kakashi to Nohara Rin, who had been knocked to the ground.

The guy who had previously used a long sword to stop Nohara Rin from committing suicide, and whom Kaguya Naoki suspected was a White Zetsu, took out a scroll that sealed the Three-Tails and went towards the subdued Nohara Rin.

"Stop!"

As soon as Kaguya Naoki noticed, he immediately spoke up to stop him.

The man, however, acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued walking.

"I said stop."

Upon seeing this, Naoki Kaguya's voice turned cold, but the person still showed no intention of stopping.

Zabuza's eyes turned cold, and he immediately drew his large sword from his back, pressing it against the man's throat, forcing him to stop.

The other Hidden Mist ninja silently drew their weapons and surrounded the stubborn Hidden Mist ninja in the center.

Two slender ANBU members immediately snatched the Tailed Beast Scroll from the man's hand and handed it to Kaguya Naoki, who had just wrapped her entire body in bone membrane.

Taking the scroll and opening his Byakugan, Naoki Kaguya finally spoke in a cold voice.

"your name."

"Toruya Yamashita."

"Oh?" Kaguya Naoki lowered her voice.
"So, are there any members here from the same ANBU squad as Yamashita Tetsuya?"

Naoki Kaguya watched as the Hidden Mist ninjas exchanged bewildered glances without offering any response, and a chill ran through him.

The Dark Division operates in small teams.

But now, is Tetsuya Yamashita a lone wolf?

Is this a coincidence, or is he actually White Zetsu?
