Chapter 425: Another unexpected surprise

Chapter 425 Another unexpected surprise

Metkay once performed missions with Kakashi Obito when he was a trainee ninja, and because they were both Muyue disciples, Kakashi was not worried that Metkai's joining the team would affect the overall team coordination.

However, Shiranui Genma and Ebisu also joined the team. After careful consideration, Kakashi decided to maintain the status quo and complete B-level tasks to run in the team, and then upgrade the task level after running in for a while.

 Kakashi does not need Shiranui Genma and Ebisu to provide much contribution. After all, the strength gap is here. Kakashi is mainly worried that insufficient running-in will bring negative improvement to the team.

Shiranui Genma and Ebisu are not the kind of people who love to play and are fun-loving. They consciously provide support to others and do not rush in to express themselves during the battle. After a few days, they have gotten along well.

“It’s so comfortable to be in a team with you. The mission is completed before I know it. I really want to keep teaming up.” Shiranui Genma said in a joking tone.

 In fact, this is also Shiranui Genma's true inner thoughts to a certain extent. It is really easy to form a team with Kakashi and the others, and it is easier than doing D-level missions in Konoha.

 Because the enemies are not enough for the main force in their team, the main force cannot get a few shots, let alone assists, and they can only get rewards for soy sauce.

 “Hahaha, after all, we are an elite team.” A proud smile appeared on Obito’s face.

Although the ninja level is still only Chuunin, the comprehensive strength of their four-person team has long surpassed that of a normal team with a leading Jonin.

Kakashi didn’t want Obito to maintain this kind of mentality on the battlefield, as it would easily lead to problems.

"I'm not Kakashi, so this kind of accident won't happen, right?" Obito felt that he couldn't be as cunning as Kakashi.

Combining what he saw at the camp with the actual situation on the battlefield, Kakashi had a premonition that a large-scale ninja war would soon break out on the east coast of the Land of Fire.

After completing two B-level missions, Kakashi felt that he was almost used to it and started to take on A-level missions.

“I will tell Teacher Chen about your proposal.” Ebisu said quietly.

 In fact, Shiranui Genma also understood that it was not that Teacher Chen rigidly believed that getting something for nothing was bad, but that it was not conducive to their growth.

Kakashi gave up explaining when he saw this. He once again felt the power of Muyue's teaching ability.

"I finally started doing the A-level mission. I hope I can encounter stronger enemies this time." Obito clenched his fists and showed an eager expression.

　One thing worth mentioning happened in the middle. They met Metkai’s father, Metday, in the camp.

 Kakashi was not too worried. With their ninja level, they could not take on any major combat missions, so self-protection in a melee was not a problem.

 Teacher Chen usually does not put on airs and is very easy-going, but Teacher Chen has his own set of requirements for the growth of his disciples.

Shiranui Genma's face froze, then he smiled and said, "There is no need to report such a trivial matter to his old man."

 Obito scratched his head, he seemed to understand, but he seemed not to understand.

 After all, Mr. Chen, who is still reading that kind of book in public at his age, probably has nothing to do with being rigid.

Having been taught by Teacher Chen for so long, Shiranui Genma still doesn’t understand Teacher Chen’s temper. If he said this, he would definitely be beaten all over.

Kakashi’s highest record was four consecutive mission accidents, the most serious one of which he accidentally entered a thousand-man level ninja war.

Kakashi looked at Obito speechlessly. Major accidents were indeed uncommon, but that was not the point. He just wanted Obito to adjust his mentality.

Hearing Obito's words, Kakashi's progress stopped, "This is not an ordinary mission. If there is an accident in the war mission, we may encounter a powerful enemy that we cannot resist."

"What I mean is that you should be more serious and careful in dealing with war. Just because you say this means that this mission will definitely cause an accident." Kakashi explained helplessly.

 They are not allowed to complete tasks beyond their capabilities, but they cannot enjoy the results of the tasks as accessories.

  Konoha not only called in Konoha's signature strong men like Orochimaru, but also summoned a considerable number of jounin and chunin. Even low-key strong men like Mu Yue were sent to the battlefield. This was obviously the rhythm of big things.

Mu Yue was actually able to teach Obito like this to the point where he passed the theoretical exam. He really had a god-like teaching ability.

If it were Kakashi, I'm afraid Kakashi himself would collapse before Obito could get impatient.

The mission went very smoothly. Kakashi and the others successfully found the enemy described in the mission. There were not many variables in the enemy's combat strength. There were one Kirigakure Jonin, two Kirigakure Chunin, and two Kirigakure Genin.

 But not long after the battle started, the keen Kakashi suddenly felt something and immediately retreated.

　　咻咻!

Two sharp kunai carrying thunder and lightning pierced the air and penetrated into the open space where Kakashi had just stood.

“He actually escaped.” Black Hoe Lei Ya was a little surprised.

His majestic Ninja swordsman attacked a boy who looked about ten years old in a sneak attack with seven people, but he actually missed. Even if there were various factors, he would definitely be laughed at if word spread.

As Black Hoe Lei Ya expected, his teammates laughed rudely.

“Black Hoe Leiya, did you not have enough to eat when you came here?” Tongcao Yebai Man laughed loudly.

Black Hoe Lei Ya's face darkened slightly and he did not explain. The attack just now was indeed a bit embarrassing.

 The sudden change caused Obito and others to temporarily stop attacking and look around cautiously.

 “Saved.” The besieged Kirigakure Jōnin breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the approaching Black Hoe Thunder Fang and Tongcao Yebaiten with expressions of surprise.

As a Kirigakure Jōnin, it is of course impossible for him not to know the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure. The first time he saw them, the Kirigakure Jōnin knew that he was saved.

The Kirigakure jounin ignored his severely injured subordinates and immediately used the teleportation technique to close the distance with the approaching Black Hoe Thunder Fang and Tongcao Yebai Man.

"Two new enemies have arrived. You can't run away." Obito didn't panic. Even if the two new enemies were Jonin, they could handle them with ease.

 But what Obito didn't notice was that Kakashi's expression gradually became serious and even nervous.

 “Oops.” Kakashi’s heart skipped a beat after he saw who was coming.

How could Kakashi, who liked to collect intelligence, let go of the enemy intelligence on the battlefield he was on? He instantly recognized these two people as the Black Hoe Raiga and the Tongcao Yaito among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

If it were just the two of them, Kakashi wouldn't be under much pressure.

 Their team of seven has four jounin-level combat capabilities, plus a special medical jounin and two chuunin. Who will win or lose in a fight? But if Kakashi remembers correctly, on this battlefield, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure like to act in groups, which means that when you see one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, you have actually met all of them, but Others haven't come out yet.

No matter how confident Kakashi is about the strength of his team, he has absolutely no confidence in fighting the entire Seven Ninja Swordsmen. The combined total of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen is equivalent to a powerful person who is famous in the ninja world.

Even the arrival of Konoha's Pig Deer Butterfly is slightly inferior.

"Obito, and everyone, please don't act rashly." Kakashi took a deep breath and said.

"Make some big noise to attract reinforcements? There is too much uncertainty. Maybe the enemy will come first..." At this time, Kakashi was thinking frantically in his mind about how to keep more people alive.

Obito looked at Kakashi with a puzzled look on his face, and searched his mind for the information on the Kirigakure in front of him, but in the end he could not come up with an answer.

Ebisu raised his sunglasses, his fingers trembling slightly, "These seem to be Kirigakure's seven ninja swordsmen. They like to act together. Maybe the remaining five are hiding in the dark."

Ebisu's heart was beating wildly, and the moment he recognized him, he could not help but sweating on his forehead.

This is really exciting for him, actually encountering such a powerful enemy with terrifying strength in a war.

“I’m really unlucky today.” Shiranui Genma swallowed, as if he had already seen his tragic death.

Shiranui Genma believed in the strength of Kakashi Metkai and the others, but the enemies they encountered this time were different.

Kakashi and the others are genius ninjas, while the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are grown up strong ninjas!

Shiranui Genma has never wanted to see Teacher Chen so much. He really hopes that Teacher Chen can use the Konoha Dragon God to descend from the sky and knock the enemy away.

 But Shiranui Genma knew that this was impossible, because Teacher Chen hadn't even come to the battlefield yet, so of course it was impossible for him to descend from the sky to save them.

“It turns out to be the Seven Ninjas of the Ninja Sword.” Obito heard Ebisu say the name of the enemy, and finally remembered some information about the enemy.

Obito failed to remember their appearance, but he still remembered some basic information. There are seven members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and each one has a ninja sword with special abilities.

Thinking about what he said before setting off, Obito's expression became subtle, and the crow's mouth turned into his own?

“You really can’t talk nonsense before setting off.” Obito regretted a little.

Metkai's expression also became solemn. Obito knew the information about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and Metkai naturally knew it too.

“I hope this time it won’t be a collective mission,” Ebisu prayed silently in his heart.

 If it’s just two people, they still have a little hope.

But Loquat Juzo who walked out next completely shattered Ebisu's luck.

Loquat Juzo slowly walked out of the darkness carrying a huge ninja sword, and glanced at Kakashi and everyone with a bloodthirsty look on his face.

“I really encountered a weak person who is particularly easy to bully. Let’s end the battle quickly.” Loquat Juuzang put down the decapitating sword from his shoulder and leaned on the decapitating sword with one hand.

As soon as Loquat Juuzang finished speaking, a rather large orange-haired ninja came out.

"Loquat Juuzang, these are not weaklings who are particularly easy to bully. Three of them are Konoha geniuses who need to be killed first." The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost said in a deep voice.

“Hatake Kakashi, Metkai, and Uchiha Obito, these three must be killed here on the spot!”

Different from Loquat Juzo, the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost thinks that they are very lucky this time. Killing three Konoha geniuses is much more meaningful than killing several ordinary Konoha jounin.

　　If Kakashi and the other three are not killed here now, in a dozen or so years, war will break out again between Kirigakure and Konoha. Maybe Kakashi and the others will become Kirigakure's new powerful enemies.

 “A genius who has not grown up is a weakling, isn’t he?” Loquat Juuzang laughed disdainfully, who was no longer a genius.

 When he was a genin and chunin, he was also a well-known genius ninja among Kirigakure.

As the seven Ninja Swordsmen walked out one by one, Kakashi's heart sank to the bottom.

Not to mention other things, even seven ordinary jonins are not easy to deal with, and the seven famous ninja swordsmen in the ninja world obviously cannot be ordinary jonins.

　　Coupled with the Kirigakure jounin they have not killed yet, the enemies they need to deal with now are seven titled jounin plus one Kirigakure ordinary jonin.

 Obito walked up to Nohara Lin silently and protected Nohara Lin behind him. They encountered an unprecedented major crisis.

 Even the two previous encounters with the Raikage candidates were not as dangerous as now.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen may not be able to defeat Kumogakure's AB combination, but when they meet the AB combination, either Mu Yue or Namikaze Minato is around, and this time Mu Yue and Namikaze Minato are not around. They can only rely on their own strength.

Everyone subconsciously moved toward Kakashi, including Obito. Kakashi was not the strongest in the team, but as the vice-captain, he was the absolute core of the team.

The reason why Obito still didn't vote for Kakashi in the second vote was not because Obito didn't recognize Kakashi as the vice-captain, but because he knew that his vote didn't matter and he wouldn't vote for anyone else. I will definitely vote for Kakashi, and in the end Kakashi will be the vice-captain.

Instead of voting to admit defeat, it is better to vote for Nohara Rin, which can also express his attention and recognition of Nohara Rin.

 “Kakashi, what should we do now?” Shiranui Genma couldn’t help but asked in a low voice.

Kakashi sighed slightly. He was just a slightly better chuunin. When faced with this kind of situation, it was impossible for him to come up with a perfect solution in such a short period of time.

Kakashi quickly glanced at the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. They stood very loosely, as if they did not regard the people opposite them as normal enemies.

But Kakashi knew that this was just an appearance. The seemingly loose position actually blocked most of their escape directions. If they wanted to retreat and escape, there would definitely be two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who could block their escape route instantly.

 “What should I do?” Kakashi asked himself in his heart.

As the person with the fastest explosive speed in the team, Kakashi is the most promising person to escape successfully, but Kakashi can't think of escaping anyway.

 He can leave, and Metkai also hopes to leave, but what about the remaining people?

　Now Kakashi does not want to abandon his companions no matter what.

Kakashi silently pulled out the White Fang short blade carried on his back. Since he didn't want to run away, the only thing left was to fight.

Even if the enemy is the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, who are famous in the ninja world, he must fight for his teammates to give them a chance of survival. This is his responsibility as the deputy captain.
