Five more Iwagakure ninjas appeared one by one and surrounded them.
Kakashi Hatake's expression darkened; he sensed something was amiss.
Chapter 136 Kitazawa's First Jonin Battle
"Yakushi Kabuto, you go first."
Kakashi Hatake muttered something under his breath, then flung out a large number of shuriken with a flick of his wrists.
"It's not that easy."
The leader of the Iwagakure ninja captain sneered and ordered, "Leave them all here!"
Earth Release: Fist Rock!
His hands were covered by rocks, and after clenching his fists, he slammed them down.
The shuriken struck the rock fist and bounced outwards.
Seeing this, Kakashi Hatake drew his short sword and slashed at his wrist.
The captain of the Iwagakure ninja team was startled.
The dagger was incredibly fast, striking his wrist in the blink of an eye.
Despite the layer of rock, he could still vaguely feel a stinging sensation.
"You are not an unknown person."
The Iwagakure ninja captain was alert, but his reaction was swift.
Earth Escape Technique: Earthquake Core!
He stepped back and formed a hand seal.
Just as Kakashi Hatake was about to give chase, his body suddenly trembled.
The flat ground rapidly rose up, forming a huge stone pillar that lifted him into the air.
Kakashi Hatake frowned and revealed his Sharingan.
"Are you a ninja from the Uchiha clan?"
The captain of the Iwagakure ninja team unconsciously showed a look of surprise on his face.
The Uchiha clan is legendary in the ninja world for being invincible in one-on-one combat.
But this also illustrates the importance of Yakushi-kabuto.
"No, that's not right. You only have one Sharingan. You are the Copy Ninja, Kakashi Hatake!"
The Iwagakure ninja captain suddenly realized what was happening and said...
Kakashi Hatake is just too famous.
In addition, their distinctive features make them easy to identify.
The Iwagakure ninja captain immediately became serious.
He dared not relax his guard in the slightest when facing Kakashi Hatake.
Kakashi Hatake glanced at Kitazawa and Kabuto Yakushi instinctively, and was momentarily stunned.
Kabuto Yakushi is fighting three Chunin by himself. Although he is at a disadvantage, he doesn't seem to be in immediate danger.
Kitazawa was the one who shocked him the most; he fought against two Jonin by himself and actually withstood their attacks.
Kakashi Hatake then realized that he hadn't lied; his strength was not just good, it was formidable.
But he didn't have time to think much before he plunged into the battle.
He needs to deal with the Iwagakure ninja captain first before he can help Kitazawa and Kabuto.
Rewind the clock by half a minute.
After Kakashi Hatake launched the attack, Kitazawa and Kabuto Yakushi were immediately surrounded.
The remaining five Iwagakure ninjas consciously divided the battlefield.
Kitazawa was blocked by two Jonin, one in front and one behind.
Kabuto Yakushi was one of the three Chunin, but because he looked very young, he wasn't considered a big threat.
In fact, that's normal.
Kabuto Yakushi, without Orochimaru's tutelage, is only passable in combat, at the level of a Chunin.
Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!
The young Jonin formed hand seals and launched the first attack.
A large number of rocks transformed into long spears and pierced towards Kitazawa.
The middle-aged Jonin behind Kitazawa expressionlessly drew his katana and slashed at Kitazawa's head with incredible speed.
Konoha Body Flicker Technique!
Kitazawa's body transformed into countless leaves and disappeared from the spot.
The attacks of the two Jonin both landed on empty air.
"careful!"
The young Jonin offered a reminder, then stood back-to-back with the middle-aged Jonin in defensive formation.
Wind Release: Shuriken!
Two spinning shuriken hurtled toward them.
"Over there! Come over here!"
With a flick of his wrist, the middle-aged ninja met the shuriken with his katana.
Chakra surged forth, forming a dense array of sword-like lights in the air.
The two spinning shuriken came to an abrupt halt.
Body Flicker Technique!
The young Jonin immediately arrived in front of Kitazawa.
Earth Release: Fist Rock!
A cruel smile appeared on his face as he threw a punch.
Just then, a feather floated down in front of him.
Caught off guard, the young Jonin was momentarily dazed.
not good!
It's an illusion!
when?
The young ninja caught a glimpse of the second Kitazawa not far away out of the corner of his eye.
Clearly, he used the Shadow Clone Technique while Konoha was escaping using the Body Flicker Technique.
The young Jonin's thoughts raced as he hurriedly formed hand seals, trying to break free from the illusion's influence, but it was too late.
Rasengan!
Having already prepared himself, Kitazawa smashed the object into his heart without hesitation.
The young ninja's clothes ripped instantly, followed by flesh and blood.
He broke free of the illusion and screamed in agony.
Kitazawa didn't dare to linger. As he unleashed a Rasengan with his right hand, he used his left hand to slash a shuriken across the young Jonin's neck.
Fresh blood spurted out.
The young man closed his eyes reluctantly.
He thought Kitazawa was good at wind techniques, but he didn't expect his illusion techniques to be just as good.
Insufficient intelligence plunged him into perpetual darkness.
"what?"
The middle-aged ninja finally changed color.
From the moment he blocked the Wind Release: Shuriken to the moment the young Jonin died, the entire process took less than three seconds.
Well done!
Seeing this, Kabuto breathed a sigh of relief.
When he was surrounded earlier, he really had a feeling that he was going to die there.
But to his surprise, the situation took an unexpected turn; Kitazawa's strength far exceeded his expectations.
If the young ninja were to die, their pressure would be greatly reduced.
"how is this possible?"
The Iwagakure ninja captain's eyes widened.
Although the young Jonin's strength wasn't particularly high, he was still a Jonin after all.
They were instantly killed at the start?
This is absolutely unbelievable!
Kakashi Hatake is famous, so he can understand.
But where did Kitazawa come from to become an elite Jonin?
"Is that the Rasengan?"
Kakashi Hatake was even more surprised than the captain of the Iwagakure ninja.
The Rasengan is a ninjutsu of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who was also his teacher.
How could Kitazawa know the Rasengan?
But now that he was in the midst of a battle, he could only suppress his doubts.
The battle continues.
The middle-aged Jonin regained his senses and immediately formed hand seals.
The next second, two shadow clones appeared.
The middle-aged ninja kicked off with both feet, his body turning into a blur.
He gripped the katana with both hands, and instantly a dazzling light flashed from the blade.
Wind Release: Shuriken!
Kitazawa reacted quickly, throwing out a spiraling shuriken.
But at that moment, the two shadow clones of the middle-aged Jonin made a move.
First, an earthen wall appeared, blocking Kitazawa's Wind Release: Shuriken. Then, the ground rose up, lifting him into the air.
This position is the most suitable for a middle-aged Jonin to perform at his best.
Several beams of sword light swept across the sky, sealing off the area around Beize.
Kitazawa didn't dodge; instead, he turned into a cloud of smoke.
"Why is it a shadow clone?"
The middle-aged ninja was taken aback.
Because Kitazawa used the Rasengan to kill the young Jonin, he subconsciously believed that this was the real Kitazawa.
But the true form is Kitazawa, who just used the Nirvana Abode technique.
"not good!"
The middle-aged ninja quickly sheathed his sword and turned around to look.
The first gate of the Eight Gates Formation!
