------------
Ito Itsuki shook his head with a heavy expression.
The others looked even worse when they saw his reaction.
They were already dead.
Kakashi stepped forward. He disarmed several traps placed outside the tree hole and entered. He found the corpses of three Konoha ninjas.
"Kifu, you come too."
Kifu entered at the call.
Three blood-soaked ninja corpses lay in a pooling mess of red. Sword wounds covered their bodies. Several of them were fatal injuries.
They had reached their absolute limit to escape from the Hidden Mist to the Land of Hot Springs with such wounds.
Kifu also saw flickering light spots on the corpses.
[Yellow Light Spot]
[Green Light Spot]
The squad consisted entirely of Jonin and Chunin. They likely specialized in perception and stealth. Otherwise, it would not have been easy to infiltrate the Hidden Mist.
Kifu noticed a flame fan of the Uchiha clan embroidered on the clothes of one Chunin.
"Someone is here!"
Ito Itsuki shouted from outside the tree hole before Kifu could collect the bodies.
Kifu did not have time to think. He quickly took out a [Seal Scroll] and stored the three corpses inside.
He walked out of the tree hole carefully. Kakashi and the other two were already standing by.
"Collected?" Kakashi asked in a low voice.
Kifu simply nodded.
"Move!"
The four turned and left without hesitation.
Their mission was to bring back the corpses. They were not meant to engage the enemy ninjas head-on. Now that they had the bodies, they would be safe once they reached the border of the Land of Fire.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
They did not get far before they felt several gusts of wind from behind. High-speed spinning Shuriken blocked their path.
The team had to stop.
They stood on the ground with their backs to each other to prevent a surprise attack.
Flash!
Four Hidden Mist figures appeared on the surrounding trees. Cold gazes locked onto them.
There was no communication or negotiation. When ninjas from different villages met, there was only one process. Battle.
It would only end when one side was completely dead.
"Fight!"
Kakashi made a split-second decision. He charged out at extreme speed before anyone could respond.
Ito Itsuki and Imai Kuriyama followed closely behind. They wanted to create an opening for Kifu to escape the encirclement.
"Heh, they are just a bunch of Konoha brats."
Kuriarare Yamato laughed lightly. He drew his ninja blade slowly as Kakashi rushed toward him.
His expression changed in the next second.
Kakashi suddenly gained a massive [Speed Buff]. He held the ninja blade, White Fang, which transformed into a streak of silver light. Killing intent erupted. He intended to use the Hidden Mist ninja's arrogance to get a quick kill.
However, someone else was just as fast. A Hidden Mist ninja with a long blade blocked him. This was the leader of the Hidden Mist squad, Akebino Shinno.
He stared at the White Fang in Kakashi's hand with excitement. "Are you the son of White Fang? The Konoha genius?"
At the same time, Ito Itsuki and Imai Kuriyama clashed with the Hidden Mist ninjas.
Kifu was no exception.
The Hidden Mist ninja that Kakashi had tried to kill faced him with a cruel expression.
"I did not expect a group of Konoha brats to have some strength."
"You are not bad either." Kifu took his stance.
Kuriarare Yamato smiled widely at the compliment.
"Our Blood Mist is not like your Konoha—"
Kifu did not wait for him to finish. He retreated and ran away as fast as possible.
"Damn it!"
Kakashi had told him he did not need to do much. It was best if he could just pin one down.
This was the ultimate form of pinning an enemy.
Chapter 11: Fleeing by Order
Kakashi watched Kifu leave.
"Stop them!"
He shouted and chased after Kuriarare Yamato.
But Akebino Shinno stayed right on his heels.
Compared to recovering the intel, his main goal was now to kill Kakashi. If he killed a Konoha genius, he would not be punished even if the mission failed.
The other two were in a difficult position.
Ito Itsuki was a perception ninja. He was at least a Chunin, so his strength was acceptable. Imai Kuriyama was in much more danger.
As a Medical Ninja, the combat ability of Imai Kuriyama was average. He was facing Hidden Mist ninjas who specialized in killing. He could suffer a fatal wound at any moment.
Akebino Shinno thought about the meaning behind the words of Kakashi.
"Kill him! The intel is in his hands!"
He swung his blade again. Kakashi was forced to turn and defend.
