Chapter 567: Yecheng, the Man Who Disliked Handsome Guys
Chapter 567: Yecheng, the Man Who Disliked Handsome Guys
Kakashi struggled to get up from the ground, his face contorted as he stared at the Mist Hidden Jonin and the other two Chunin in front of him.
His original plan was to ambush and swiftly eliminate the most formidable opponent, the Mist Hidden Jonin, with a surprise attack. As for the remaining three Mist Hidden Chunin, even if it meant fighting three against one, Kakashi was confident in his ability to emerge victorious.
However, the situation had taken an unexpected turn. No one could have anticipated that the Mist Hidden Jonin was a ruthless individual who, when faced with an unavoidable danger, would use his own comrades as shields.
What made matters worse was that Kakashi could sense his chakra depleting at an alarming rate.
The Flagwood Clan's chakra reserves were not particularly abundant, and Kakashi's chakra, compared to an average ninja, was considered quite substantial.
In previous battles, he could easily use the "Thunderbird" technique several times.
But this time, after using the Thunderbird to eliminate one of the Mist Hidden Chunin, Kakashi was shocked to find that the chakra he had restored with the Medicinal Ball was already half-depleted!
Even though the consecutive battles had taken a toll on his condition, the rate of chakra depletion should not have been this alarming.
Kakashi dodged the attacks from the two Mist Hidden Chunin while simultaneously throwing another Medicinal Ball into his mouth and gripping his short sword tightly for a counterattack.
Fortunately, the Mist Hidden Jonin was not only ruthless but also seemed to be extremely cautious and afraid of death.
After witnessing Kakashi's recent use of the Thunderbird, the Jonin did not rush into action but instead allowed the remaining two Chunin to test and deplete Kakashi's strength.
Despite being outnumbered two to one and with his body already battered and bruised, Kakashi managed to defeat the two Chunin by combining his sword skills with the power of the Sharingan.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Just as Kakashi slashed the throat of the last Chunin with his short sword, the Mist Hidden Jonin, who had been observing from a distance, suddenly revealed a sinister smile and performed hand seals to unleash a water jutsu.
A menacing water dragon roared as it charged forward. Kakashi, who had intended to dodge, found himself too exhausted and weak, with barely any chakra left, causing him to stumble almost to the ground.
As the water dragon approached, Kakashi realized he had missed the best opportunity to evade. He understood that now, aside from a direct confrontation, there was no other option.
"Thunderbird!"
The sound of the Thunderbird's cry echoed once more, and lightning chakra formed visible lightning around Kakashi's palm.
This was the last of his remaining chakra, and with this all-or-nothing gamble, if he succeeded, both he and Rin would survive. But if he failed...
"Thunderbird!"
Facing the oncoming water dragon, Kakashi did not retreat but instead charged forward, raising his Thunderbird and completely piercing the dragon's head.
The lightning-covered palm became like the sharpest blade, and as Kakashi sprinted, he sliced the menacing water dragon in half from head to tail!
After completely shattering the water dragon, Kakashi pushed his body to its limits, raised his weakened Thunderbird, and charged towards the final Mist Hidden Jonin.
At this moment, Kakashi's body was already at its limit, and after Chidori shattered the Water Dragon Bullet, its power had significantly diminished.
As the speed of Chidori gradually slowed down, the Mist Hidden Jonin easily dodged it and, with one hand, grabbed Kakashi by the head and lifted him up.
"A kid of this age has already mastered chakra attribute changes. Should I say it's no wonder that Konoha produces so many geniuses? But what I like most is slaughtering these so-called geniuses. You'll regret your naivety soon enough. I'm sure your companions will come looking for you before long."
The Mist Hidden Jonin held Kakashi's head in one hand and, with the other, pulled a kunai from his backpack, ready to finish him off.
But just as he was about to stab the kunai down, an arm suddenly reached out from the side and tightly gripped his wrist.
This sudden turn of events shocked the Mist Hidden Jonin, but before he could react, a long sword had already pierced through his chest from behind.
"Don't you know that villains die from talking too much? You're calling our village's kids naive, but this is a battlefield. What are you doing here, telling stories?"
Kakashi, who thought he was about to die, was overjoyed to see Yecheng appear suddenly.
But before he could say anything, he noticed that the Mist Hidden Jonin, who had just been stabbed by Yecheng, had turned into a puddle of water, and thick fog was starting to rise all around them.
Kakashi wasn't a fool; when he saw the Mist Hidden Jonin turn into a puddle of water, he instantly understood that the previous Jonin was just a Water Clone.
His last desperate Chidori, even if it succeeded, would only have destroyed a Water Clone along with himself...
Thinking of this, Kakashi couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating bitter smile. Before, he had been proud of becoming a Jonin at the age of 12.
But now it seemed that even as a Jonin, his combat experience was far inferior to that of ninjas who had truly experienced life-and-death battles.
"There's no need to belittle yourself. Becoming a Jonin at the age of 12 and mastering chakra attribute changes is already quite remarkable. To be able to hold out against a squad led by a Mist Hidden Jonin is already impressive.
Leave the rest to me; you can just lie down and rest."
Kakashi dared not question Yecheng's words, and he wasn't worried that Yecheng would lose to the opponent.
After all, the man before him was the strongest elite Jonin in Konoha right now! Their teacher, Uzumaki Naruto, was strong enough, right? He was Konoha's "Golden Flash." But whenever Teacher's wife, Kushina, was unhappy, she would seek out Yecheng. Then their teacher would get beaten up by him until he was black and blue.
As for why Yecheng liked to punch their teacher in the face, according to him, it was because he hated people who were as handsome as him.
This also made Kakashi often cover half of his face with a mask. After all, Kakashi was still a Shounen, but he was also quite handsome. What if Yecheng didn't like the look of him?
However, compared to himself, Obito and Rin seemed to really like Yecheng.
Especially Rin, her admiration for Yecheng was even greater than for their teacher, Uzumaki Naruto, which often made their teacher feel a bit jealous.
