Asuma: I'm afraid of Chiba running away

The sun was shining, in the middle of a forest.

Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yūhi and others, who were recalled from Daimyo's side by the third Hokage, are on their way.

There were also members of Kakashi's team in Anbu.

It's just that the atmosphere is a little gloomy, especially Asuma, who is the leader of the team, looks a little gloomy.

"Asuma, watch your emotions, you're going to make peace with the Hidden Cloud Village this time."

Kakashi frowned and reminded.

"Peace talks? Do you think the Hidden Cloud Village might agree? I heard that Raikage and the jinchuriki are ready to go to the front line."

"Now that Konoha is weak, how could the Hidden Cloud Village, which has been coveting Konoha for a long time, let go of this opportunity."

"Hmph! Hokage-sama's idea is probably going to fail."

Kakashi and the others did not say anything because what Asuma said was true.

Konoha used to be the first of the five major shinobi villages.

Although Konoha still has this name, but they themselves feel very empty.

Especially in the face of the aggressively hidden cloud village, Konoha is surprisingly the first to bow down and seek peace.

The strong gap made it difficult for them to accept, and they felt uncomfortable.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little sluggish, Kakashi thought about it and said:

"You don't have to worry too much about the hidden cloud battlefield, Jiraiya is already on his way back, and Hokage-sama has sent someone to find Tsunade-sama."

It's a pity that his words didn't play a big role, and Kakashi didn't have much to say, and he was on his way.

But soon, Anbu, who was supposed to be investigating ahead, returned.

Kakashi and the others hurriedly stopped and became vigilant.

"Captain, two enemies have been spotted ahead, and they are wearing the same black cloak with red clouds."

"One of them is our Konoha's missing-nin Uchiha Chiba!"

Kakashi's heart tightened and his pupils shrank sharply.

"Are you sure it's Uchiha Chiba?"

"That's right, he looks exactly like the picture in the assassination manual that the Anbu just updated!"

The man from the anbu replied in affirmative.

Just a few days ago, the third Hokage put Chiba at the top of the Konoha anbu's kill list.

All of Konoha Anbu knows Chiba's appearance, abilities, etc.

The rest of the team also quieted down and looked at Kakashi.

Naturally, Asuma and the others heard the information from the Anbu and immediately started talking.

"Uchiha Chiba, it turned out to be him!"

"It was the ruthless man who killed the Uchiha clan with Itachi."

"In other words, if the Uchiha clan hadn't been exterminated, I'm afraid the Hidden Cloud village would not dare to do it."

"Hey, who would have thought that the destruction of the Uchiha clan would cause such turmoil."

Asuma looked at Kakashi and said with gritted teeth.

"That's right, this war is happening because of those two bastards, Uchiha Chiba and Uchiha Itachi!"

"Now that you're here, Kakashi, it's the best chance to kill Uchiha Chiba. Let's do it, Kakashi! Or we don't know when we'll find him next time!"

Many people heard Asuma's words and hastily nodded their heads in agreement.

It can be described as outrage!

Only a few people know the complex relationship between Konoha and Uchiha, and it is not clear at all.

But considering the task, he hesitated for a while, and nodded.

Cautiously, Kakashi said in a deep voice.

"You should understand how strong Uchiha Chiba is, he can completely destroy the Uchiha clan."

"If you want to participate in this mission, everyone must be prepared for total destruction!"

Asuma laughed at once and said.

"Kakashi don't think too highly of Chiba."

"With you, me and kurenai's support, we'll definitely win!"

"And I also know Chiba's intelligence. He must have noticed the drawbacks of the mangekyo by now."

"I'm afraid he doesn't even dare to use his mangekyo sharingan, I'm instead worried if he'll run away."

The third Hokage is indeed old and incomparable.

He knew that going after Chiba would definitely cause huge casualties and might have an impact on his reputation.

So he directly made the curse of the mangekyo sharingan semi-public.

Now Konoha's Anbu and some important Jōnin basically know about it.

So Asuma's words sounded reasonable and many people nodded in agreement.

Even Kakashi nodded when he heard the words.

Not far from Kakashi and the others.

Chiba is catching up with Kakuzu.

Kakuzu asked strangely, "Why didn't you use the Flying Raijin Jutsu this time?"

"What do you know, I call this experience."

Chiba admired the scenery along the road and walked slowly.

As an old monster who has lived through the era of Senju Hashirama and Madara Uchiha he knows countless secrets.

He is very afraid of Chiba who has opened his mangekyo sharingan.

Especially after witnessing Chiba's method of killing Hidan, he understands Chiba's horror even more.

So after the two teamed up, it was natural for Chiba to be the main one.

Suddenly, Kakuzu's expression changed, and he said in a low voice:

"I sense a few people heading towards us"

Chiba, who had already sensed it, nodded calmly.

"The enemy's attack has tactical coordination, and it should be a team prepared by the five major villages."

Numerous attacks came in.

Fire Release, Wind Release, Earth Release, Lightning Release, Shuriken, Paper Bomb...

Kakuzu's face changed, if he was not successfully focused, he would be seriously injured, and murderous intentions were already in his heart.

Chiba's face remained unchanged, and he directly turned on his Susanoo.

The blue Susanoo instantly formed a defense, blocking all attacks.

Those violent attacks couldn't even make Susanoo shake.

Susanoo waved his arm lightly, and instantly bounced off the violent flame wave formed by the combined Wind and Fire ninjutsu.

Kakuzu stood in the midst of Susanoo's defense and watched the scene in shock.

He once witnessed Madara Uchiha's Susanoo, which made him unable to resist.

Now that he sees it again, it still shocks him.

Amidst the sharp bird chirping, a figure appeared behind Susanoo like a lightning bolt.

With Kakashi's low growl, Chidori hit Susanoo head-on.

Then, Chidori could no longer move forward.

"What is this? What a strong defense!"

Kakashi's pupils shrank sharply and he hurriedly retreated.

At the same time, the Konoha ninjas who attacked just now also gathered behind him.

"It's been a long time, Kakashi!"
