In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

"Are you sure we're on the right track, Puck?" Kakashi asked in a low voice as he leaped through the trees.

Parker, who was leading the way, replied, "Yes, the smell is in this direction, we can't be wrong."

"But you probably already know who owns that rocking chair. Are you sure you really want to go there?"

"That guy didn't kill you last time because of his teacher. This time, it's possible that not only you, but even Naruto might be captured."

Kakashi glanced at Naruto, whose eyes were bloodshot from Gaara's capture, remained silent for a moment, and then sighed, "We have no choice but to go. It seems that only by joining forces with Guy's team can we have any fighting power. Otherwise..."

In the end, Kakashi's voice was barely audible.

"Sword Fang's son, I feel your body trembling. Is someone making you so afraid?" Upon hearing this, Granny Chiyo, who was following behind Kakashi, quickened her jumping speed and walked alongside Kakashi, asking with displeasure.

"To be honest, he's a terrifying person. Thinking back to my last battle with him, it was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. Even now, I have no chance of winning," Kakashi said helplessly.

"How embarrassing! The battle hasn't even started and you've already lost your will to fight. If your father were still alive, he'd probably be furious." Granny Chiyo curled her lip in disdain.

"I see," Kakashi smiled sheepishly, not arguing, because he knew that even his father would choose his comrades over the mission, and the Hokage had also given orders that if they encountered an invincible enemy, they could choose to retreat strategically.

Just then, the group suddenly saw a person in front of them. The person was standing in the woods, wearing a black robe with red clouds, a headband with a scratch, and tear troughs between his eyes. It was Uchiha Itachi.

"Stop." Kakashi waved his hand.

The group immediately stopped and landed on the ground, thirty meters away from each other.

"You are Uchiha Itachi!" Kakashi broke out in a cold sweat. Last time, because of the older version of Sasuke's interference, he had not really fought Uchiha Itachi and had not yet experienced the ability of his Sharingan.

Faced with this unknown enemy who slaughtered the Uchiha clan and defected from Konoha with Chiya.

I'm afraid there's nothing worse than this.

Moreover, this is without Qianye coming. If even Qianye came, and the two of them joined forces, then everything would be over.

Should we abandon this mission?

"Kakashi-sensei, Uchiha Itachi, is he Uchiha Itachi?" Just as Kakashi was struggling with whether to abandon the mission, he suddenly heard the voice of Sasuke's simp, Haruno Sakura.

"Yes. It seems we're in for a tough fight this time." Kakashi didn't turn around, but his gaze toward Itachi Uchiha grew increasingly serious.

"Don't worry, Kakashi, I'm the only one who's stopping you this time." Itachi Uchiha seemed to have seen through Kakashi's thoughts and suddenly spoke up.

"Us?" Kakashi murmured, his expression still grim, and asked loudly, "Then can I understand that Team Guy and the others have been intercepted by your comrades? Was it Fujiwara Chiya?"

"No, that's not it." Itachi shook his head and formed hand seals.

He knew that there were definitely people watching him, so he didn't say anything more.

The Transformation Technique possesses 30% of his original chakra.

With his heart set on Konoha, he decided to be the first to use a ninjutsu that consumes more chakra.

"Watch out, the enemy's attack is coming!" Kakashi shouted urgently when he saw Itachi Uchiha forming hand seals.

The next instant, a massive fireball was spat out of Itachi Uchiha's mouth, hurtling towards Kakashi and the others.

However, before Kakashi and the others could dodge, a huge water dragon suddenly shot out from behind Kakashi and rushed towards Itachi Uchiha's Fireball Jutsu.

The water jet and the fireball collided, canceling each other out, and a cloud of steam immediately rose in the air.

"Chika." Kakashi, Chiyo, Naruto, Sakura, and Karin turned around, all of them startled, because the one who activated the Water Dragon Bullet, which required forty-four hand seals to activate, almost instantly was none other than the youngest, Chika.

Uchiha Itachi was the same; he was the only one present who saw how Chika used the Water Dragon Bullet, which reminded him of someone: Chiya.

Is he a genius who can rival, or even surpass, Qianye?

Chika understood Itachi Uchiha's thoughts perfectly. She never expected that this guy would be a spy for Konoha.

"Kakashi, the prerequisite for the Sharingan to use genjutsu is that the user and the enemy make eye contact. But if you close your eyes, the Sharingan's genjutsu will not work. Besides, this guy in front of me doesn't have much chakra. It doesn't seem to be his real body. I'll take care of him."

As she spoke, Chika closed her eyes and rushed over.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Kakashi tried to call out to Chinatsu, but it was too late. Chinatsu had already rushed past, even faster than him, an elite Jonin.

"A sensory-type ninja?" Itachi Uchiha smiled, his hands forming hand seals once more. "Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

Like the seeds of a balsam flower that would be launched at the slightest touch, countless flames were spat out from Itachi Uchiha's mouth, spreading in all directions to attack Chika!

Itachi Uchiha originally intended to hold back and control the flames to avoid them by a small distance, but he discovered that Chinatsu seemed to have eyes all over her body and easily avoided all the fireballs he spat out.

A hint of undisguised admiration flashed across Itachi's eyes as he thought to himself, "His perception is truly sharp. I'm afraid even that guy, Chiya, isn't much better."

Granny Chiyo narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of approval flashing across her gaze. "It seems that Tsunade didn't send her daughter here to die."

"Of course, Chinatsu is a genius who is no less than Fujiwara Chiya." Kakashi stood up and said sternly, "Everyone, don't let your guard down and be ready to support Chinatsu at any time."

Sakura's eyes widened instantly. "Wow, that's amazing! He dodged them all, and with his eyes closed no less!"

Karin stepped forward and stood beside Sakura, smiling slightly. "Of course, Chika is very strong."

As for Naruto, because he made eye contact with Itachi, he fell into Itachi's genjutsu early on. In his eyes, the right half of his body turned into Sasuke, Sakura emerged from his stomach, and his left hand had an extra "love" character and an eye, which was Gaara's eye.

All three of them were complaining about him.

While the group was talking, Chika dodged all the fireballs and rushed to Takako, where the two began a physical duel.
