Chapter 76
🕑 Added 2023-10-21 10:59:40 +0000 UTCAfter the departure of his charges, Kakashi looked up at Yudao with a sigh of relief. He intended to trade his life for the escape of Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura.
This caused a rare surprise to appear on the First Mizukage’s face.
“Well, of course, anything could be expected from such people, who never tire of challenging common sense,” he shook his head and took it for granted.
Initially, Yudao intended to force Kakashi to make a bitter choice. Of his trio of genin, it is obvious that Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke are the most important to Konoha.
Given the circumstances, Hatake could only take two Genin with him, and the last one had to be the useless Haruno Sakura.
Such an act would cause Naruto and Sasuke great disappointment not only in their sensei, but also in Konoha as a whole.
A normal, experienced shinobi would have done this, following Yudao's plan in order to bring maximum benefit to himself and his village.
Unfortunately, Kakashi got out of his predicament differently.
Although if you think about it, then something like this was to be expected.
“It’s good that I was prepared for different scenarios,” Yudao smiled and calmly made a hand seal with one hand in front of Hatake Kakashi, ready to stand to the last.
And immediately Naruto, who was running away through the forest on a dog, suddenly shuddered with his whole body.
“Yudaoooo!!!” – opened his eyes and the Nine-Tails roared angrily inside his Jinchuriki.
A storm of negative emotions poured out of Biju. And although most of it was blocked by the partially torn seal, some of the evil Bijuu's chakra still leaked out.
Naruto's human pupils immediately became animal-like, and his trembling body was rapidly enveloped in a layer of the Nine-Tails' chakra seething with rage.
Bang!
The rushing dog was thrown to the side and forcefully slammed into the ground with a light slap of a palm wrapped in red chakra!
The other dogs immediately stopped and stared warily at Naruto, who now looked like a beast with a tail made of chakra.
“Naruto...” Sakura covered her mouth with her hand in fear.
– His chakra... it can’t be like that! – Sasuke swallowed nervously at the sight of Naruto in the so-called demonic fox cover.
-Graaaaaah! - to which he responded with an evil bestial grin, not even a few seconds passed before he had a second tail made of chakra.
With the appearance of the second tail, the last signs of sanity in the Jinchuriki's gaze were completely swept away by a storm of negative emotions!
Boom!
Pushing off the ground with his feet and hands, an enraged Naruto rushed towards the taken aback Sasuke with a fleeting orange flash.
From the surge of emotions, the Uchiha had already activated his Sharingan, but still saw only a blurry orange silhouette. Too fast!
A moment later, literally a furious Naruto appeared in front of the shocked Sasuke with his chakra paw raised.
Having received a hard slap in the face, the Uchiha's body flew off like a ball and hit the tree trunk with force. At the same time, the summoned Ninken also suffered.
“Saskeeee!” What are you doing, Naruto! Stop it!! – Sakura changed her face and barked at Naruto, seeing the wounded Sasuke, which only attracted the gaze of the Jinchuriki who had gotten out of control.
- Run! – the Uchiha wheezed towards the kunoichi, holding his chest in the place where the blow landed.
At that moment, the big dog under Sakura finally came to her senses and rushed away with all her might.
Boom!
But Naruto was too fast in his first Jinchuuriki form. Sakura had not yet had time to understand what was what, as she had already collapsed to the ground with acute pain throughout her body.
The terrifying Bijuu chakra did not stop gushing out of Naruto's body for a second. The current Sasuke and Sakura were simply unable to resist a jinchuuriki with two chakra tails. And if this continues, the appearance of a third will not be long in coming.
Meanwhile on the other side.
Hatake Kakashi, who had not taken his gaze off the First Mizukage, suddenly changed his face, sensing the familiar chakra.
Why now!
Without thinking twice, the Jounin turned around and rushed as fast as he could towards the raging Naruto, completely forgetting about restraining the Kiri shinobi.
- Should we intervene? – Ameyuri asked hopefully, following Kakashi’s back with an annoyed look.
– Although everything went a little differently than planned, the final result will not suffer from this. In this state, Kakashi, if he doesn’t die, will definitely be knocked out when trying to calm down the Jinchuriki, who is about to have a third tail,” Yudao answered thoughtfully and, noticing the annoyance reflected on Ameyuri’s face, he stroked her head soothingly, “not don't be upset, you still have time to get drunk, there are plenty of Konoha shinobi to choose from, believe me...
From this, the cheeks of the Swordsman of the Mist quickly filled with color, but her eyes sparkled with a warlike gleam.
- The prologue of the war has begun, show me your heritage, Konoha... well, Madara definitely left a surprise for me, and you, Hashirama? – Yudao whispered quietly with rare excitement on his face, turning his gaze towards Konoha.
Such an influential and rare figure in the shinobi world as Senju Hashirama is not as stupid and careless as it might seem at first glance.
“This act is over, let’s go,” Yudao calmly addressed Ameyuri and Haku a little behind him, somehow quickly moving away from his excitement.
And the trio of Kiri shinobi disappeared with a slight gust of wind.
***
Bang!
Along with the roar and crash, another wave of chakra washed over the earth.
“Hmm...” he spat out the blood that filled his mouth and hastily jumped back towards Kakashi, not bothering to wipe his bloody mask.
Boom!
And then, at the place where he had just been, a furious Naruto appeared with a deafening roar.
The wounded Jounin, his uniform soaked in blood, was dragging two unconscious Genin behind him.
At the same time, like a red rag to a bull, he led Naruto closer and closer to the border of the Land of Fire.
By this point, Uzumaki had three tails made of scarlet chakra and was on the verge of developing a fourth.
And the closer they got to the border of the Country of Fire thanks to Kakashi’s thoughtful actions, the more Naruto’s raging chakra attracted the attention of the Konoha shinobi behind it.
The wounded Jounin's uniform was thoroughly soaked in blood and sweat, and his vision grew dark, but he continued to stubbornly move forward.
He had very little strength left, and any delay would endanger not only Kakashi himself, but also the lives of his Genin charges.
"Powerful Leaf Vortex!" – suddenly a painfully familiar voice, overflowing with the power of youth, sounded in his ears.
And the green silhouette arrived in time and threw the enraged Naruto behind him with a powerful kick.
Smiling in relief, the wounded Kakashi immediately fainted.
