Chapter 16

"Kakashi, let's have a duel today!" Obito clenched his fists tightly, brimming with fighting spirit. Though he had been careless in their last encounter at the ninja school, today he was different. He was determined to surprise Kakashi, who was quite unlike the Kakashi of last year.

"I'm busy. And please, don't bother me. I'm currently on a mission," Kakashi replied expressionlessly. However, internally, he wondered why Yoichi was late today. Typically, when he arrived, he had already been training for quite some time.

Nevertheless, Kakashi's words did not dissuade Obito. He had been diligently attending classes at the ninja school and practicing rigorously in private, all to defeat Kakashi in front of Rin.

The thought of Rin's admiration upon his victory over Kakashi filled Obito with a sense of excitement. He couldn't wait to earn her admiration.

Lost in his thoughts, Obito subconsciously glanced at Rin. However, to his dismay, he noticed Rin looking admiringly at Kakashi, which immediately stirred feelings of jealousy within him.

"Kakashi, let's duel. This is a challenge between men!" Obito insisted.

"Don't bother me anymore. If you want to duel, wait until you become a ninja," Kakashi retorted, unmoved. He would rather duel with Yoichi than with Obito. At least Yoichi had impressive achievements, having defeated jonin, unlike Obito, who, despite being the same age, fighting him it felt like bullying.

Crack!~

A continuous and slight thunder sounded, and figures accompanied by lightning appeared in front of Kakashi in the forest.

"Kakashi," the figure spoke.

Kakashi was taken aback, then surprised. The person who appeared in front of him was Uchiha Yoichi, and his speed even shocked Kakashi.

Moments ago, he had noticed lightning emanating from the forest, but the speed was too fast, much faster than his own.

"I've encountered something today, and the mission has changed. Can you help me stop the people chasing me?"

"Wait a minute. I won't help unless you explain clearly. Besides, changing the mission violates the rules of Konoha's missions," Kakashi replied decisively, then curiously asked, "This is Konoha, and you're still Uchiha. Who is chasing you?"

"The Sannin Tsunade."

Yoichi originally wanted to invent a person to deceive Kakashi, but he forgot that he was particularly honest now.

"Sorry to bother you. Even if it's my father here, I'm afraid he won't stop Tsunade-sama."

Kakashi immediately gestured after speaking, then continued, "It seems that today's training task will have to be postponed until tomorrow. I'm going back now."

This sentence delayed him a little. Uchiha Yoichi originally wanted Kakashi to attract Tsunade's attention with the name of his father so he could have time to run away.

But Kakashi's question delayed him a bit.

Crack.~

With a light flash of lightning, the figure disappeared directly from the original position.

Two seconds later, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Kakashi. With a beautiful face, a heroic spirit, and that distinctive golden hair, coupled with what Yoichi had just said, Kakashi immediately recognized the person before him.

"Hey, what did that Uchiha brat just say to you?"

"I'm Kakashi, who accepted the training commission from Yoichi. Just now, Yoichi asked me to stop Tsunade-sama, but I refused."

Facing the obviously angry Sannin, Kakashi replied honestly, without hiding anything.

"Sakumo's son? You're honest."

Tsunade glanced at the other two people, one of whom was like an Uchiha brat, and the other should be from the ninja school. From the admiring eyes of Rin, Tsunade knew that the girl was her admirer.

But Tsunade didn't have the mood to talk to Rin now. With a step, she directly teleported to where Yoichi had disappeared.

Not catching up with Yoichi for a long time made Tsunade even more furious. At first, she didn't want to use all her strength in the village.

Originally, she just wanted to ask Yoichi about something, but when she saw him in person, she couldn't help but remember the memory of being beaten up by Yoichi. Her tone was a bit unpleasant.

But later being verbally teased by this brat made Tsunade angry.

Ninja speed relies on chakra. Any instantaneous movement and rapid movement require chakra support. As long as one can adapt to the flow speed of chakra in the body, their speed will increase infinitely.

Seeing Yoichi getting farther and farther away, Tsunade increased the flow of chakra again, instantly doubling her speed.

Seeing her getting closer, Yoichi also felt the danger approaching.

Regardless of the reason Tsunade called him, just that one teasing sentence made Yoichi feel that he couldn't talk to Tsunade well; besides, he was still in the duration of his ability, so he couldn't communicate at all.

He could only take a gamble!

Yoichi quickly recalled and confirmed that Tsunade seemed to have no perception ninjutsu, then took out a few smoke bombs from his ninja pouch.

Then, he increased his instantaneous speed to the limit, suddenly turned around, and threw the smoke bombs in his hand.

The next second, three figures accompanied by lightning appeared from the smoke, moving in different directions.

"Shadow clone? Do you want to compare chakra with me, you evil Uchiha brat!"

After seeing this, Tsunade sneered, quickly formed hand seals with both hands, and also split into two shadow clones, chasing the three Yoichi's along with her own.

She wasn't afraid of her shadow clones being destroyed. If her shadow clones couldn't deal with even one brat, then she wouldn't deserve the title of Sannin.

After Tsunade quickly chased after them for several tens of seconds, the smoke gradually dissipated. It wasn't until then that a stone about a meter away 'puffed' and returned to its original form.

Using smoke to block the line of sight, making Tsunade unaware of any irrelevant things here, and using shadow clones to attract her attention, it worked.

"Fortunately, people who are anxious are easy to deceive, but my chakra is also running out!"

Yoichi hadn't finished sighing yet, and the memories of the shadow clones were transmitted back.

So he didn't stay in place for long and turned and left here.

After a minute, Tsunade returned to this place, but now she couldn't find Yoichi anymore.

Thinking that she was deceived by a thirteen or fourteen-year-old brat, who was also from the Uchiha clan, Tsunade suddenly felt a wave of embarrassment and anger.

"Grandpa's right!"

Swish!

Two ANBU appeared next to Tsunade using the Body Flicker Technique, then respectfully said to her, "Tsunade-sama, the Hokage wants to see you!"

"I know, I know. What's this old man doing? He's calling people for every little thing. Doesn't he have anything better to do?"

Tsunade said with a trace of annoyance. She didn't need to guess what her teacher wanted when he called her; it must be some trivial matter, yet he had to make such a fuss.
