I am the most popular character in Naruto!

Upon seeing Kakashi, Asuma exclaimed in surprise, "What brings you here?"

"Just passing by."

Kakashi picked at his ear. "Speaking of which, why do you two, master and disciple, both ask the same question?"

"Hey, enough talk, come help us deal with this guy!"

Asuma quickly pulled Kakashi aside, "You know a lot of ninjutsu, hurry up!"

"Hello..."

Kakashi was dragged by Asuma to stand in front of Hidan, and looking at Hidan covered in black aura, he asked, "How did this thing become like this?"

"I do not know either."

Asuma reluctantly explained Hidan's situation to Kakashi, who scratched his head and asked, "So, that evil god gave Hidan power?"

"Then Hidan's behavior differed from what was described in the data?"

"That's it."

Asuma said with a headache, "He's too good at holding me back. Our Team 10's current record is all thanks to Shikamaru."

Kakashi agreed, saying, "If you were stronger, you wouldn't need to rely on Shikamaru's intelligence."

"Try to go on dates with Hong less often; it's always better for you two to exercise together."

Kakashi gave Asuma a deadpan look. "By the way, this training is proper training, not the kind of improper training in Jiraiya's book!"

"This...isn't this an effort being made!"

Asuma blushed deeply, then looked around and whispered to Kakashi, "By the way, does Jiraiya-sama have any more books? I'd like one to study the mindset of a master..."

"You two! Stop chatting!"

Shikamaru's voice came through, "Hurry up and make your move, we're about to collapse!"

Not only Shikamaru's side, Choji's chakra was also unable to withstand the output of the Super Multiplication Technique, and Ino's explosive tags and thin threads were also about to run out.

The black aura on Hidan's body has subsided considerably, but it hasn't been completely removed.

If Kakashi hadn't come to the rescue, Shikamaru would now have to figure out what to do next.

When Kakashi arrived, Shikamaru was honestly relieved. As expected, strength is the most important thing; sometimes relying solely on intelligence isn't enough.

If Shikamaru possessed the unparalleled Kage-level strength of Lord Chiaki, he wouldn't need any schemes; he could simply crush them.

"Kakashi, give me Jiraiya-sama's book later!"

"Let's deal with the immediate problem first!"

Asuma tossed his hand and declared with boundless pride, "You take the lead, and I'll provide support!"

"That `s a deal!"

"?"

"I never said I was going to give it to you, you bastard."

Kakashi muttered a speechless comment, but then turned his attention back to Hidan.

"So, you need to use a powerful attack to inflict enough damage on Hidan, thereby depleting all the chakra that the evil god bestowed upon him, is that right?"

"Correct!"

Asuma nodded and said seriously, "So you take the lead in attacking, and I'll support you. For example, if you use a Fire Release technique, I'll use a Wind Release technique on you..."

"No need, I can do it."

Kakashi waved his hand, clasped his hands together, and pulled them outwards, creating a series of purple lightning bolts in his hands.

"Asuma, my specialty has always been Lightning Release."

He gave Asuma a meaningful look. "I know all the other escape techniques, but there's no need for them."

"Zidian!"

Chapter 730 You should replace him

"Hang in there, everyone!"

"We'll be there soon!"

Naruto covered his hand and sat on Sai's giant eagle, flying towards Shikamaru and the others.

Accompanying him were Sai and Sakura, who were sitting on another giant eagle.

The combination of these two injured players and an all-around support is, even if it makes a difference, it won't solve the problem.

However, thinking that something is better than nothing, they still came to help.

Who knows, we might need their assistance at a crucial moment?

Ok.

The Dragon Ball theater next door is basically like this; the row of people standing on the sidelines watching the battles are also very important.

However, a plot almost identical to that in the Dragon Ball movie next door also appeared.

When Naruto and his two companions arrived, they found Hidan with his arms and legs broken, bound by sealing techniques, and looking utterly dejected.

"Ah?"

"Is it over yet?"

Naruto and his two companions landed, staring in shock at everything before them.

"Yeah, how could I not solve it if I took action?"

Kakashi cracked his neck. "That evil god's power was quite formidable; it actually took me 50% of my chakra to break through it."

This is 50% of a Kage-level chakra, which is more than what someone like Asuma would need to use all his chakra, and the effect is better.

"Are you going to scold me again?"

Faced with Kakashi's Versailles, Asuma's face was full of resentment. He even thought that after returning to Konoha, he would have Kurenai cosplay as Kakashi and then bully her again.

"Sai, do you know sealing techniques?"

"I can't kill this guy, so I can't use the sealing scroll. I can only seal him hastily."

Kakashi ignored Asuma and looked at Sai.

The ninjas in Root all have their own special skills, especially all-around support like Sai. If he said he didn't know sealing techniques, Kakashi probably wouldn't either.

"Of course, leave it to me."

Sai immediately nodded, took the unconscious Hidan from Kakashi, temporarily removed the sealing technique from his body, and then took out his own scroll.

"Sealing Technique! Tiger's Gaze!"

He drew a giant tiger on the scroll, and the tiger swallowed Hidan whole in one gulp, then returned to the scroll and became a picture.

"good."

Kakashi praised Sai, and Sai smiled and handed the scroll to Kakashi, saying, "Kakashi-sensei, please keep this scroll safe."

"Row."

Kakashi didn't refuse and simply took the scroll and put it in his pocket.

"What's next?"

Seeing that everything was resolved, Shikamaru turned his gaze to Kakashi, "Kakashi-sensei, are you coming with us to turn in the mission?"

Hidan has been captured, and Kakuzu has been killed. All they need to do is return to Konoha to report.

Of course, there is another option: let Kakashi take the scroll back first, and the rest of them can play along the way on their way back.

"Yes, I'm going back to Konoha too."

Kakashi raised an eyebrow, looked at Shikamaru with a half-smile, and said, "I'll go with you."

"whispering sound……"

Shikamaru pursed his lips. It seemed Kakashi was also planning to relax with his group. He had miscalculated.

He then looked at Asma, who had almost fully recovered, and casually said, "Let's go back to the Mercenary Guild first and then make plans. We can go back to the Temple of Fire again to see if we've missed any other information."

After personally defeating Hidan, Asuma's mentality recovered.

Shikamaru suggested returning to the Fire Temple, clearly not to investigate the scene again, but to pay his respects to everyone there. He smiled with relief and lit a cigarette.

"Alright, let's go back to the Mercenary Guild first."

"It seems that Lord Qianqiu had anticipated our situation and didn't come to watch the battle at all."

Asma, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, said, "Is this considered too much trust in us, or...?"

Shikamaru shook his head as well. He had thought Chiaki would come, but Chiaki didn't show up at all.

Even now, thinking about it still makes him break out in a cold sweat.

If he really thought Qianqiu had arrived and added Qianqiu to the variables in the calculation, then it would be hard to say whether they would live or die.

Fortunately, things went very smoothly.

What are you talking about?

Naruto jumped out, pointed to himself with a thumbs up, and said, "Godmother already knew. With me here, nothing will happen!"

"Besides, didn't she also send Kakashi-sensei over here?"

Ok.

In reality, Kakashi handled most of the incidents.

Kakashi scratched his head, thinking for a moment with confusion, "Eh?"

"Could it be that Sister Qianqiu really sent me?"

He followed the trail of a group of people and ended up here...

Perhaps it really is Qianqiu's doing?

"Let's go, let's go back and ask."
