"What a fierce battle. What happened over there?"

Although she did not witness the battlefield on Kakashi and Kisame's side with her own eyes, Kurenai could tell from the water bombarding the ground and the falling trees accompanied by the occasional thunder that the battle was very urgent. Both sides seemed to be fighting.

He used his full strength to attack his opponent with his ultimate blow.

In this situation, Hong couldn't tell who had the advantage.

"Hinata, can you see the scene over there?"

Hong's face turned and he looked at Hinata beside him and asked.

She wanted to know what was going on with Kakashi.

Hinata opened her eyes, shook her head, and said in a self-blaming tone: "I'm sorry, Mr. Kurenai, I can't see the battlefield on Mr. Kakashi's side.

My white eyes don't have enough distance to see.

Although the Byakugan has the ability to see far and see through, Hinata's Byakugan is limited in the distance it can observe.

The battlefield where Kakashi and Kisame were located was beyond the distance she could observe.

Kurenai was not too disappointed. With Hinata's level, it was indeed difficult to bring out the Byakugan's ability.

As far as she knew, the distance an adult Hyuga clan jounin could observe was about one kilometer.

And Hinata's strength is probably far behind that of Chuunin. It is estimated that Hinata's eye-rolling limit is at a distance of two hundred meters.

"That's it, it doesn't matter, just protect yourself."

Hong comforted her.

Hinata lowered her head, still feeling guilty for her lack of strength.

In fact, there was no need for her to blame herself. Even a ninja of Kurenai's level would be very reluctant to intervene in such a battle, let alone a genin.

Are we just going to watch like this?"

Naruto asked unwillingly, he seemed to want to go up and help.

"Don't be impulsive! You will only get in the way and distract Kakashi and Gai from protecting you."

Kurenai seriously dismissed Naruto's idea of ​​going up to help.

Although she is a newly promoted jounin, she still has good eyesight. Naruto is a very good ninja compared to his peers, but this is not a battle that he can intervene in.

Moreover, this is a life-and-death fight without the so-called no-kill rule. As a Jinchuriki, Naruto is the primary target of protection and there must be no accidents.

"Where is Asuma Jounin? You can detect the abnormality here. There is no way he can't detect it."

Sasuke was also unwilling to do so, but he knew that going up to fight Chu would only be a disservice. If he wanted to join such a battle, he must at least be a jounin.

"He is maintaining the security of the camp. There may be other guys watching in secret. A jounin must be left there to guard it."

Hong replied.

Then, she set her sights on Kai He again, her eyes flashing, trying to find an opportunity to strike.

However, every move he made was impeccable. While he was on par with Kai in terms of physical skills, he was still able to pay attention to what was going on around him. He remained calm and composed, and his expression did not change from beginning to end.

Itachi's calmness made Hong feel more stressed.

If she had been there, she would probably have been mercilessly defeated by Itachi's overwhelming physical skills.

As for the genjutsu competition she was best at, she didn't think her genjutsu could defeat the Sharingan, so she was thankful to God that she could remain undefeated.

The kunai and nunchucks collided with each other, making the sound of metal clashing in the dark forest, and sparks flying.

With strength, speed, and reflexes, Itachi was able to keep up with ease.

In other words, his poker face has remained unchanged for thousands of years, making it impossible to read from his face whether he has used his full strength.

The veins on both sides of Kai's temples began to throb, and the skin was in a state of congestion. His eyes were fixed on Glaze's every move. The countless stick shadows he swung out in an instant, no matter which direction they attacked, were intercepted by the kunai.

I can't even touch Yu's body.

"Water Release·Water Fang Bullet!"

It's this kind of ninjutsu that seems to be released without any seals,

Spiral water jets appeared everywhere, attacking Kai's body.

Kai dodged back, and the spiral water column flew away.

Then, countless shurikens occupied the field of vision in front of him, and they flew out from Itachi's hand at some point. All the attacks were perfectly connected, one after another, leaving Kai with no chance to breathe.

Kai stepped on the ground and swept out the stick shadow. Ding Ding Ding knocked down all the shurikens and gasped slightly.

Itachi's shoulders were also slightly hunched. Although his face still showed a calm attitude, it was obvious that after such a long period of high-explosive physical skills,

His physical strength was also a bit too much.

It was more difficult than he thought to block the five-door Kai.

"It seems that you are not completely able to withstand my attacks."

Kai was still in the mood to smile, but the solemn color in his eyes still lingered.

He was so inseparable from his five-door state, and his ability to integrate into physical skills surprised him extremely.

No wonder his strength is so highly praised by Kakashi.

Glaze pursed his lips and said nothing. He didn't like saying meaningless words in battle. It was just a waste of energy.

At this moment, Itachi rolled his eyes, and a figure jumped next to him.

His posture looked quite embarrassed. There were several wounds from the blades on his black and red coat. The skin on the back of his hands was also a little burnt. However, he firmly grasped the bandage knife in his hand and stared fiercely forward.

Kakashi appeared next to Gai at some point, standing side by side, confronting Itachi and the ghost again.

Kakashi was also a little out of breath, his clothes were wet and torn, and like a ghost, he grabbed the short sword in his hand with a calm posture and did not relax.

"You seem very embarrassed, Kakashi."

"Don't talk about me, aren't you the same? This guy's strength is extraordinary, even you may not be able to compare with him. And his weapons can absorb my chakra."

Kakashi glanced at Gai and said.

"Is that so? Do you want to change your opponent next? Itachi was once your subordinate. You should be more suitable to deal with him than me."

Kai suggested.

Kakashi didn't speak, just held the knife and stared at Itachi and the ghost.

"If you want to take them down, you may need to show your real skills. Such a painless attack is useless against them."

The ghost turned to Itachi and said.

Itachi was silent for a moment and said: "It seems that there is no way to recover the legacy of the Fourth Hokage this time."

"Huh? You mean..."

"Since the sneak attack failed, the action of taking Naruto away is meaningless."

Rong gave up the idea of ​​continuing to fight.

"Let's go. There is no point in staying here anymore. If we continue to fight, we may suffer even more losses. There is no need to rush. The intelligence collected here is enough."

After saying that, Itachi turned around and ran backwards, leaving very simply.

Kisame took a deep look at Kakashi and the others, then ran after Takashi and left this place.

Seeing Itachi and the ghost escape so neatly, Kai and Kakashi relaxed, as if they had escaped a fierce battle and let out a sigh of relief.

In fact, in a real fight, two against two, the two of them don't need to be afraid.

It's just that when there are people around, it's too clumsy to let go and fight, and you may accidentally affect your own people.

What's more, in this situation, protecting Naruto is the most important thing, not dealing with the traitorous nin who are targeting the jinchūriki.

"finished?"

Hong came over with Naruto and the other three.

The slightly swollen muscles on Kai's body began to shrink and returned to normal. The color of his skin also returned to normal. The strong chakra fluctuations on his body disappeared, and no excess energy was leaked.

"It should be over. Even if they go and turn back, the result will be the same as before. With Naruto as their target, they should belong to an organization."

Kaisong said in a tone.

Although he was not an ANBU member, he had heard something about a certain organization that was capturing tailed beasts throughout the ninja world.

"Well, it seems that after I return, I will solemnly report to the Hokage-sama. I hope that the journey back will be safe."

Kakashi put away the White Fang dagger and put it in the sheath behind his back.

Looking at Sasuke who looked unwilling, Kakashi said:

"Don't worry too much. You can't be Itachi's opponent now. If you target him, just work hard to become stronger."

"You don't need to tell me this kind of thing, of course I know it!"

Sasuke's mouth twitched slightly, with an unhappy tone.

Among the group of people, he was the most seriously injured. He can barely walk now and needs Naruto's help to walk normally.
