A's confidence wasn't very strong.
It seems he was also convincing himself.
However, when the wildly spreading Wood Release appeared, Kakashi, who was being shielded by Aokawa, didn't have time to think about anything else.
Because standing in front of her is Haruko!
"Get out of the way!"
He grabbed the girl in front of him and pulled her away.
Kakashi, having missed his best chance to dodge, was also hit by A's Great Forest Technique.
He was bound tightly with vines!
And just then...
Aokawa, who had been pushed far away by Kakashi, also started to move.
In mid-air, Qingchuan did a somersault, which stirred her ponytail hair as she activated Instant Step.
In the next instant, with a flash, Aokawa, holding Senbonzakura in his hand, had already arrived beside Kakashi!
Swish swish swish!
The blade flashed.
In the blink of an eye, all the vines on Kakashi's body were cut down.
After doing all this, Aokawa stood coolly in front of Kakashi, his Senbonzakura pointing directly at the Wood Release: Boy A.
"Are you alright, Kakashi-senpai?"
Qingchuan asked coolly.
Damn it.
Just based on what he just showed off, he doesn't believe Kakashi will have the nerve to let him hide in the back in the future!
"Yes, I'm fine."
Kakashi's indifferent voice followed.
Qingchuan's face immediately darkened...
There is no other reason.
The sound came from behind A.
A puff of white smoke appeared behind Qingchuan, accompanied by the buzzing of a thousand birds behind Jia's neck.
In an instant, the two extremes reversed, and Kakashi gained an absolute advantage with a single move.
When it comes to being cool, Kakashi is serious...
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Even though Qingchuan could sense the aura of a soul, he was still surprised by the speed.
same.
Kakashi glanced at the location where the girl was.
Somewhat surprised, the girl's strength was unexpectedly formidable.
And those three magatama...
A hint of heartache flashed in Kakashi's eyes.
He knew what the conditions were for the Sharingan to evolve...
After that man defected, Haruko certainly didn't have an easy time either.
That ever-present smile must conceal a heavy burden.
With a sigh, Kakashi's attention returned to A.
But right now, the most important thing is the armor in front of us.
Although I remained vigilant.
But when A actually made his move, Kakashi still couldn't quite believe it...
"A, why did you do that?"
With a sigh, Kakashi asked a question that even he himself thought was a bit stupid.
yes.
The root.
What other possibility could there be besides Danzo's orders for A's arrival and sudden hostility?
This was clearly at Danzo's behest!
So, it seems the root of the problem is finally going to be dealt with...?
Kakashi thought to himself, then glanced at the girl with the knife once more.
This time, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
After dealing with him, Root probably won't let Haruko off the hook either, right?
"You have no right to interfere in the Root's mission, you traitor!"
A's voice was full of resentment, even tinged with disdain!
"What right does someone who killed his comrade have to stay in Konoha?"
A roared and revealed the truth that Lord Danzo had told him.
Kakashi's expression changed drastically!
As a conditioned reflex, he looked toward the girl's location once again.
Caught off guard, Qingchuan responded with a bewildered look...
"Given the circumstances, I had no choice."
Believe me, if I could, I would rather it be me who dies.
Kakashi withdrew his gaze and slowly explained.
Only he himself knows to whom this explanation was specifically addressed...
"But that's none of your business."
After explaining, Kakashi's eyes gradually turned cold.
"Who else besides me was tasked with this mission by Danzo?"
"Is Haruko on your kill list too?!"
This is what Kakashi is really concerned about right now.
Yes.
He still did not intend to kill A.
The Wood Release ninjutsu on Armor is one of the very few methods that can control the Nine-Tails.
This is of great significance to Konoha...
But he must understand the goals and tasks at the root.
He needed to know... whether Danzo had once again set his sights on Haruko!
Although Kakashi wasn't mentally prepared to receive the worst news.
But at the very least.
He could also inform the Third Hokage, and even the Uchiha clan, asking them to give Haruko the utmost protection!
"I...I can't tell you."
A's tone was clearly softening.
He could sense that Kakashi still had no intention of killing him.
At the same time, Kakashi's anxiety was also very obvious.
Was it for that girl?
If that's the case... perhaps Kakashi-senpai really did have his reasons... right?
Confusion returned to A's eyes once again.
Qingchuan, standing to the side, remained completely silent.
In fact.
After Kakashi showed off a few moves.
He just lost all desire to perform...
The move he just showed was just right, worthy of the title of Orochimaru's disciple, and worthy of his two three-tomoe jade ornaments.
Most importantly...
Those Root members keeping watch at the cave entrance are getting closer and closer.
