Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

Kai's body stiffened instantly.

"Successful."

As Yu Yi Xuan Yue finished speaking, just as she was about to relax, she suddenly noticed that Kai's body trembled again, clearly showing signs of waking up.

His brow furrowed, and without hesitation, he delivered a powerful whip kick, sending his opponent flying off the edge of Mount Katsuragi. Only then, as he rushed towards the critically injured Sasuke, did he have a moment to ponder:

"The Mangekyou Sharingan's genjutsu could only control Guy for a moment. Does Guy have such strong resistance to genjutsu?"

"No, it's the Eight Gates Formation!"

The Eight Gates is a forbidden technique that temporarily grants immense power by releasing the chakra bound within the human body.

Once the restrictions are lifted, the amount of chakra is not only dozens of times greater than usual, but the chakra itself becomes extremely violent.

Illusion, in essence, uses chakra to interfere with the opponent's five senses, causing them to fall into hallucinations.

To break a genjutsu, one only needs to disrupt the flow of chakra within their body, either by themselves or by someone else.

With the Seven Gates activated, the chakra within Guy's body was constantly surging wildly.

The Mangekyou Sharingan's genjutsu could control him for a moment, but it would be broken by the raging, restless chakra within his body.

The only techniques that can truly affect Might Guy under the Eight Gates are probably those that transcend ordinary illusions, such as the Mangekyou Sharingan, which defies logic, and even the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Sensing something was wrong, Yu Yi Xuan Yue kicked Kai, who had just regained his senses, flying him out of the mountain.

By the time Kai landed and arrived before he could fly, it was already too late.

Whoosh!

With Kai no longer bothering her, Yu Yi Xuan Yue moved swiftly and rushed towards Sasuke.

Neji, who was blocking the perimeter, saw the person speeding towards him from behind with his Byakugan. His expression changed and he immediately turned around, about to adopt the Gentle Fist stance.

Bang!

He was instantly sent flying backward like a bowling ball, crashing through several building walls before finally coming to a stop.

"So fast!"

In his last moments before losing consciousness, Neji, filled with shock, recalled everything he had seen through his Byakugan vision and uttered a single sentence before falling into a coma.

Sasuke is in a very bad situation right now.

With the combined efforts of Kakashi and Kurenai, two Jonin, and the cooperation of the Konoha 11s around them.

He had more and more bruises on his body.

The ninja sword, no longer as dazzling as before, swept across the ground, temporarily forcing Kurenai back. Sasuke, panting heavily, had to face Kakashi again, as the pressure of a real battle was immense.

Sasuke realizes that he had a misconception.

Kakashi wasn't as ordinary as he had imagined.

On the contrary, he is very skilled at dealing with himself.

"I can't hold on much longer."

Sasuke, whose chakra was already depleted, realized this.

Kakashi also keenly spotted the opportunity and moved swiftly.

Just as the two were about to make contact.

A figure barged in forcefully.

"Well done."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue nodded to Sasuke.

Chapter 134 Kakashi's Life Full of Failures

Upon seeing Yui Gengetsu arrive, Sasuke finally breathed a sigh of relief, dissipated the lightning power on his ninja sword, and relaxed without a care in the world.

With this person around, everything is no longer a problem.

that's the truth.

Facing the approach and attacks from Kakashi, Kurenai, and the other Konoha 11, Hagoromo Gengetsu formed hand seals and said:

"Fire Release: Dust Hidden Technique!"

A large amount of hot dust rapidly emerged from the center of Yu Yi Xuan Yue and Sasuke, obscuring their figures and spreading outwards like mist.

Kakashi, who was closest to him, changed his expression.

Sensing the danger emanating from the dust, he paused. The unknown Uchiha beside Sasuke possessed a level of Fire Release skill far exceeding his expectations.

"retreat!"

Seeing the incredibly dangerous hot dust approaching, Kakashi had no choice but to retreat quickly with the others.

at the same time.

Amidst the dust, Yu Yi Xuan Yue gazed at the blue figure rushing towards her at the edge of her vision, and finally looked at Ying, who was in Yi Zhi Xing Zhe's arms not far away, looking at her with a very complicated expression.

Having accomplished everything she needed to do and obtained everything she desired, Yu Yi Xuan Yue lingered no longer.

To prevent Guy from opening the Eight Gates in a fit of rage later, he reached out and pressed Sasuke's shoulder. Under the Earth Release: Earth Dragon Concealment Technique, the two quickly sank into the ground and moved swiftly through the mountain like earth dragons, disappearing without a trace in no time.

Boom boom boom~~~

The powerful force of the punch quickly dispersed the hot dust.

Upon arriving again, Kai didn't think twice and immediately threw a punch at high speed, dispelling the Dust Concealment Technique.

However, Sasuke and his companion were no longer there.

"Huh? Where are the enemies?"

Kai scratched his head, puzzled.

Having already learned from Hinata that Sasuke and the masked man had used Earth Release to escape at incredible speed—and were now beyond the Byakugan's range—Kakashi sighed slightly and explained to Guy:

"They're gone."

"Should we go after them?" Kai clenched his fist, his fighting spirit high.

"Having learned this lesson, tracking Sasuke and the masked man will become much more difficult. Also..."

At this point, Kakashi shook his head, recalling the scene of the man next to Sasuke, who also possessed the Sharingan, fighting.

The opponent's strength was far greater than expected.

Another Itachi Uchiha?

With such a figure, coupled with Sasuke's rapidly growing strength, even if their current team composition were to catch up again, they would likely achieve little and might even suffer heavy losses.

"Although I am very reluctant to say this, I am sorry, everyone, the mission to bring Sasuke back has ended in failure again."

Kakashi pulled down his headband, covering his Sharingan, looked up at the sky, and calmly stated the current situation.

At that moment, he felt that his life was full of failures.

His mother died young; his father committed suicide; one of his two closest friends died trying to save him, and the other was killed by his own hand; his beloved teacher and his wife also passed away on the same day.

Now even his own disciple has chosen to leave, and no matter how hard he tries, the other party never looks back.

It seems that failure is the dominant theme of his life.

Kakashi sometimes can't understand why he's been able to persevere until now.

Until a familiar voice rang in my ears:

"The process of youth is not only full of passion, but also full of regrets. Savoring regrets and facing them head-on will make the fire of youth burn even more brightly!"

Kakashi looked over and saw Guy loudly cheering himself on.

Yes.

In my darkest moments, there is always that one good friend who, despite the strange looks from others, insists on being true to myself and constantly pulls me back from falling into the abyss.

Kakashi shook his head, dispelling the gloom in his heart, and said to Guy, "Guy, your Eight Gates are still open, you should close them quickly."

Even with Kaina's superhuman physique, opening seven gates for an extended period would be somewhat exhausting.

"I almost forgot. As expected of my lifelong friend, Kakashi, thank you for reminding me."

Guy gave Kakashi a thumbs-up and closed the Eight Gates.

The next second, his body trembled, sweat poured down his face, and he gasped for breath.

Kakashi stepped forward to support Guy, who was completely exhausted.

"I'm fine. Youth doesn't allow for backing down. I can still do a thousand sit-ups, a thousand frog jumps, a thousand more."

Kai really wanted to prove himself again.

Kakashi ignored his ramblings and continued to support him, while calmly inquiring about Hongdao, who had just examined Neji's injuries and confirmed that he was not in mortal danger:

"What's the story with that little girl from the Tsuchigumo clan?"

Although the mission to bring Sasuke back failed, he still had to do his duty to investigate Sasuke and another Uchiha's sudden appearance and their purpose in breaking into the Fire Temple and Mount Katsuragi, hoping to find useful information from it.

When Ying was brought over, Kurenai, who had already asked her some questions, replied, "Ying is the current possessor of the forbidden technique of the Tsuchigumo clan. Sasuke and the masked man invaded the Tsuchigumo clan for the forbidden technique. However, it's a bit strange that the masked man didn't remove the forbidden technique from Ying; he just made her keep releasing the forbidden technique, and then he didn't make things difficult for her."

"So, the forbidden technique of the Earth Spider clan is still on Ying?"

"Yes."

"That's a bit strange. Could it be that he used the Sharingan's forbidden copying technique?"

Kakashi glanced at Ying, who was standing next to the Ensemble Stargazer.

Having earned the title of Copy Ninja, he knew very well that while the Sharingan was powerful in copying ninjutsu, it was very difficult to successfully copy forbidden techniques.

The masked man could have simply taken the forbidden technique or taken Ying, who possessed it, away, but he chose neither. He came with great fanfare, and then left just like that.

From a normal ninja's perspective, Kakashi couldn't understand it at all.

On the other side, Ying, noticing Kakashi's gaze, shrank back slightly and hid a scroll in her clothes.

Although her grandfather and the Konoha ninjas who came thought that person was bad, she thought he was alright.
