I, Naruto Uzumaki, don't need your approval.

Naruto merely turned slightly to the side, dodging the Sharingan's genjutsu. He focused his gaze on Kakashi's lower body, and with a touch of his hands, shadow clones surrounded Kakashi.

The Sharingan's genjutsu is indeed very powerful, but it consumes a great deal of energy for those without Uchiha blood.

By exploiting this weakness, we can deplete Kakashi's chakra and then use the opportunity to shake him off and leave this dangerous place.

Kakashi scanned his surroundings, lightning crackling from his palm as he swept it outwards.

Before the sharp Lightning Blade, the shadow clone was easily cut in two, turning into wisps of smoke.

But amidst the smoke, Naruto, wielding his Rasengan, closed in and collided with the flashing blue Lightning Blade. The collision immediately created a small-scale explosion.

When did Naruto become so strong? And this chakra is just too much.

After the explosion, Kakashi looked at Naruto with lingering fear. Naruto's timing for ninjutsu and taijutsu attacks was not as good as his, but every time he used ninjutsu, it was a wide-range attack, which basically only caused minor scratches or fatal injuries.

"Ninja Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"

Before he could think too much, Kakashi heard the whistling wind in his ears as a massive Rasengan flew towards him.

Upon seeing the Rasengan the size of a millstone, Kakashi swallowed hard. He dared not take such a massive ninjutsu head-on, so he could only try to dodge it and stall for time until the others arrived.

Rumble!

With a violent explosion, the grove where the two were located was razed to the ground.

In the center of the open space, there was a large circular crater with a diameter of five meters. Kakashi, covered in wounds, clutched his bleeding shoulder and looked at Naruto with only fear in his eyes.

In his eyes, Naruto was no longer a junior who needed to be spared, but a ninja stronger than him.

After forcibly using the 'Wind Release: Rasenshuriken,' Naruto was also in bad shape. Without mastering Sage Mode, this was a ninjutsu that would kill a thousand enemies but also hurt eight hundred of his own. His advantage was that his health bar was much thicker than Kakashi's.

Feeling the pain in his arm, Naruto used medical ninjutsu as he walked towards Kakashi. He didn't dislike Kakashi, but blocking his way would ultimately come at a price.

However, at that moment, a voice rang in Naruto's ears, and a green figure stood between him and Kakashi.

Immediately afterward, the green figure launched an attack on him: "Konoha: Power Whirlwind!"

Chapter 68 Might Guy and Kakashi

After barely managing to block the attack with his arms crossed, Naruto quickly created some distance.

The person standing between him and Kakashi right now is none other than Might Guy, the Blue Beast of Konoha, an elite Jonin who specializes in taijutsu and has mastered the Eight Gates technique.

With his current strength, he wouldn't even be able to compete with Guy of the Eight Gates, let alone Guy of the Sixth or Seventh Gate.

After all, Might Guy is simply too strong in terms of taijutsu, and ordinary genjutsu and ninjutsu are almost ineffective against such a taijutsu master.

After forcing Naruto back with one blow, Might Guy did not press his advantage.

Turning to the heavily injured Kakashi, he anxiously asked, "Kakashi, do you still have the strength to continue fighting? Let's take down the ninja who attacked the village together!"

Kakashi sat up straight, shook his head, and said, "He's not an enemy; he just wants to leave Konoha."

"Who is he?" Might Guy frowned and pondered, "I don't remember anyone like him in the Jonin class. Could he be one of the Hokage's or Danzo's subordinates?"

Kakashi coughed, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Naruto is studying at the Ninja Academy, not yet a formal ninja, so it's normal that you haven't met him. His identity is also somewhat special..."

Might Guy glanced at Naruto and, upon realizing that Naruto was indeed a child, his expression turned strange.

"Kakashi, it seems that some unruly juniors have emerged in the school after we graduate. However, correcting the wrong ideas of the juniors is also part of youth."

With that, Matt Kai rubbed his hands together, ready for a fierce battle to teach the younger generation a lesson.

At this moment, Kakashi scratched his head and reminded him, "Guy, while you were wasting your time talking to me, Naruto has already escaped. This should be a shadow clone."

Might Guy looked bewildered, then seemed to remember something and said to Kakashi, "Kakashi, quickly call the ninja dogs over. If we track the scent, we should still have time."

Kakashi slowly stood up, took a deep look at the shadow clone Naruto had left behind, and said lazily:

"Let's just forget about it. Naruto insists on leaving the village, and there's no need for us to force him to stay. His guardian is the Third Hokage, so we just need to report this matter to him."

"His guardian is the Third Generation Elder?"

Might Guy was increasingly confused, but he still respected Kakashi's decision. After all, he was not good at tracking techniques, and it was hard to say whether students of the Ninja Academy could be considered ninjas. He could only leave it to the Hokage to decide.

"It's not just the Third Hokage, Naruto also has some connection with the Fourth Hokage... but he was too ruthless. If he had been hit by the Rasengan just now, he would have been in the hospital for at least half a year."

Kakashi regained his deadpan expression, speaking both to Guy and to the shadow clone in front of him.

The shadow clone Naruto didn't react much to these words. After putting down the kunai in his hand, he slowly walked towards Kakashi.

Might Guy was about to make a move when Kakashi stopped him, saying with a helpless tone, "Is there anything else you want to say? We've known each other for at least half a year."

Naruto smiled meaningfully: "Kakashi-senpai, I look forward to the day you defect."

"Defect?" Kakashi frowned, then chuckled, "I would never defect. Apart from Konoha, there is nowhere else in the ninja world for me to go."

"That's not necessarily true. I think you, senior, also hate this village as much as I do. If you knew the truth, you would definitely choose to leave..."

Before he could finish speaking, Naruto's shadow clone was struck by a Kamaitachi aura and vanished into smoke.

Kakashi and Might Guy turned around and saw that the ninja who had attacked was Danzo, the leader of the Root organization. After hearing that the Hokage Building had been attacked, he checked the surveillance footage and rushed to the scene with the Root members.

"Lord Danzo..." Kakashi and Might Guy both lowered their heads.

Danzo glanced at the two men and then questioned, "Why did you let the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki escape? He just attacked the Hokage Building and is now a rogue ninja of the village. Kill him without mercy."

"Lord Danzo, only the Third Hokage can decide whether Naruto is a rogue ninja."

Danzo snorted coldly, thinking to himself, "Of course I know his identity and importance. Unlike you, I will bring the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki back to the village... and put him under the control of Root."

After passing each other, Danzo led the Root clan toward the Forest of Death and soon disappeared without a trace.

Kakashi and Might Guy looked at each other, and after a long while, Might Guy finally managed to say, "Kakashi, where should we go now? The Third Hokage shouldn't be in the Hokage Building."

"The Third Hokage is near the Uchiha clan's territory..."

After a pause, Kakashi continued, "You should take me to Konoha Hospital first. I don't think I can hold on for much longer. I'll have to stay in bed for a few more days this time."

Upon hearing this, Might Guy glanced in the direction of the Uchiha clan's territory and then nodded.

Although he was devoted to physical training, he wasn't stupid. He had long noticed the strange atmosphere in the village recently. Since Kakashi didn't want to get involved, he would listen to Kakashi.

……

Within the Uchiha clan.

With the help of Jonin such as Yatsushiro and Inahikazuchi, Shisui successfully took over the position of clan leader.

Fugaku's help was indispensable. If he hadn't performed so poorly, there would have been at least a Sharingan contest when the leadership of the clan changed. It could be said that Fugaku himself gave up power.

After taking over the position, Shisui immediately announced the plan to evacuate Konoha.

This plan caused a huge uproar at the clan meeting. Putting aside the difficulty of evacuating Konoha, the clan originally planned to launch a coup, and such a huge change was hard for them to accept.

Knowing how troublesome arguments would be at the clan meeting, Zhi Shui simply ignored the clansmen's objections.

Those who are willing to follow him will leave Konoha together later, while the clansmen who remain in Konoha will bear the consequences themselves, and there will be no further connection between them.

After explaining the plan, Shisui announced the end of the clan meeting and led the clan's ninjas to the security building.

Despite prior preparations, the evacuation would still take a considerable amount of time, and a highly capable squad would be dispatched to divert the attention of higher-ups. He would personally lead this squad, which had an extremely high mortality rate.

Upon arriving at the security building, Shisui and the group of Uchiha ninjas donned chainmail and were preparing to leave.

A vortex appeared in front of the guard building, and a mysterious figure dressed in a black robe and wearing a tiger-striped mask emerged from it and appeared before them.

Immediately afterwards, the masked man gripped his scythe and lunged at Shisui.

With a clang, Shisui drew his katana, blocked the masked man's attack with one hand, and with the other hand gripped a kunai to stab at the masked man.

But the sensation of the needle piercing flesh made Shisui frown, and he quickly used the Body Flicker Technique.

After the battle ended, Shisui said to the clansmen beside him, "The enemy has mastered space-time ninjutsu. They are only physical at the moment of attack. Everyone, look out for each other and be careful."

Chapter 69 Uchiha Izumi

Seeing that someone had easily dodged the sneak attack, and after quickly analyzing their own abilities.

Obito's expression behind the mask was uncertain, and his gaze toward Shisui became serious.

He, who was often active in the Uchiha clan's territory, hadn't even discovered that the Uchiha clan was hiding such a powerful person. Now, the task Itachi had entrusted to him was going to be difficult.

While Obito was still stunned, the Uchiha ninjas had already completed the encirclement and activated genjutsu by revealing their Sharingan.

Using his Hollowfication ability, Obito dodged the Sharingan's genjutsu attack and dashed forward, attempting to capture a Jonin into the Kamui dimension. However, just before he could succeed, Shisui pierced his head, forcing him into Hollowfication.

After trying several times, Obito's expression turned extremely ugly.

With Kamui's speed, even a regular Jonin would have a hard time reacting, but this Uchiha in front of him could easily see through his movements. His Body Flicker Technique reminded him of the Fourth Hokage.

Relying on his ability to become intangible, he is indeed invincible, but that is all.

It's difficult to eliminate the security forces swiftly under their noses unless more of our strength is revealed.

Thinking of this, Obito raised his arm, and cuttings made of wood release flew out, shooting towards the guards below at extremely high speed.

One of the guards was accidentally hit, and vines immediately grew from the wound, causing him to cry out in pain.

Upon seeing this, all the Uchiha widened their eyes.

The attacker not only possessed the Sharingan, but also mastered the Wood Release technique of the First Hokage. Could this person be the village's secret weapon against the Uchiha clan? How could such a monster exist?

Shisui had a similar thought, but quickly dismissed it.

He knew the masked man's identity; the other party was most likely the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' rampage, and couldn't possibly be a village ninja. If the village had a Wood Release ninja, they would have announced it to the public long ago.

But the question is, why did the other side choose the date when a clan launched a coup?

Wait a minute… Shisui seemed to have thought of something, his expression shifting between light and dark.

Obito seized the opportunity when Shisui was stunned, instantly appearing near Shisui. A vortex appeared in his palm, intending to bring Shisui into the Kamui dimension.

One second, two seconds...

Just before being swept into the vortex, Shisui used the Body Flicker Technique to escape. Dozens of phantoms appeared on the rooftop, all slashing towards the map, and his Sharingan emitted an eerie red light.

He deliberately created a flaw in order to lure Tu into a trap.

"This is Shisui's Body Flicker Technique? You are Uchiha Shisui!"

Obito recognized Shisui's identity, immediately distanced himself, and disappeared into the security building without ever showing himself again.

With his eye technique, he could deal with several three-tomoe Jonin at the same time, one by one.
