229 Mischievous Kakashi

"I see. I didn't expect Kumogakure to make that kind of maneuver this time. Fortunately, Nagasawa is there." Minato sighed as he heard Kakashi's report.

Kumogakure Shinobi had always been hot-blooded and reckless, so this was a little unexpected.

However, it was also a mistake as they encountered Nagasawa and lost even faster.

Had Kumogakure attacked from Yugakure, they would not have lost so quickly.

"Indeed, it just so happens that we have also discovered Kumogakure's camp. At first, I thought that it was too easy to discover and suspected that it was a trap. Now that I think about it, they're indeed short on numbers even though they make it seem as if this is where their main force is." Shikaku Nara said.

"Then let's launch an all-out attack now and give them a surprise. That will teach them not to trick us again. It just so happens that Nagasawa has a request." Minato nodded.

"I'll go with you." Kakashi volunteered.

He had been itching to try Wood Release for a long time, and now that he had the Chakra armor with him, if he didn't fight now, when would he?

After this battle, Nagasawa would most likely take back the Chakra armor.

"You must be tired after rushing all the way here. We're not short on personnel here, you know." Minato advised.

Now that he knew that Kumogakure's force in Yugakure was just a diversion, Minato could safely say that there were probably around two hundred to three hundred Shinobi on the enemy's side through his clash with the enemy's force.

Moreover, none of them were a threat to him. Only Two-Tails Jinchuriki that could be considered more troublesome than others.

In this case, Minato felt that one they'd still win even without Kakashi.

"It's okay, Minato-sensei. I'm fine. Despite how it looks, I've gotten stronger, too." Kakashi said confidently. He believed that his current strength could definitely shock Minato.

After intense training every day, plus a little help from Nagasawa (Secondary Hashirama cells and Chakra armor), his strength had improved dramatically.

Now, he was confident even if he was up against the masked man who attacked Konoha.

"Sure, I'm looking forward to your growth." Seeing that Kakashi was so confident, Minato did not stop him. They would definitely win anyway, and even if there was a problem, he would be able to handle it.

Minato immediately acted, directly gathering all Konoha Shinobi, and rushing directly to Kumogakure's base.

Kumogakure soon discovered Konoha's sudden attack.

"What's going on? Why does Konoha suddenly launch an all-out attack? Aren't they afraid of traps?" Kumogakure Shinobi that was in charge of monitoring the surrounding was very puzzled.

However, it was obvious that Konoha's Shinobi would not tell Kumogakure the reason. After eliminating some Kumogakure Shinobi along the way, Konoha Shinobi went straight to Kumogakure's camp, not giving Kumogakure any time to react.

While Yugito was still thinking about how to agitate Konoha, he suddenly heard a report from one of her men that Konoha Shinobi had already knocked on their door.

Yugito:???

Yugito quickly entered Partial Transformation, and her whole body was enveloped by Two-Tails' blue Chakra.

However, Yugito did not realize that someone had been eyeing her for a long time.

The strongest person on Yugakure's battlefield was Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and Kakashi wanted to use her to test his current strength.

Kakashi reached out his right hand and gathered Chakra on his hand. With Nature and Shape Transformation, the Chakra turned into blue lightning in his hand.

"Raikiri!"

Siu!

Chakra burst out from Kakashi's feet, and with the enhanced speed and nervous system caused by the Lightning Chakra, his speed was like a real lightning.

Although Yugito was two years younger than Kakashi, as the perfect Jinchuriki, her strength was not to be underestimated.

Seeing the strange Shinobi in armor rushing towards her, Yugito did not dodge. The blue chakra in his palm suddenly surged, turning into a huge cat claw that scratched Kakashi.

Rumble!

Kakashi's Raikiri clashed with the Cat Claw formed by the Two-Tails' Chakra, and a burst of explosion sounded.

Kakashi narrowed his eyes. He knew full well that one Raikiri couldn't kill a Jinchuriki. Raikiri was just his way to gauge his opponent.

Yugito snorted coldly as the Two-Tails' Chakra burst out, forcing Kakashi back, and then she kicked Kakashi with her sharp claws.

Siu!

Kakashi directly flew into the air with the Apocalypse's power, dodging Yugito's dangerous kick.

Yugito frowned as she looked at the horde of Konoha Shinobi around her. She could not waste her time on that purple armored Shinobi.

With that in mind, Yugito roared, and a large amount of Tailed-Beast Chakra surged from her body. She finally turned into a huge Cat Demon.

Roar!

After entering the Tailed Beast Transformation, Yugito roared. She then opened her mouth, and a large amount of black energy gathered in his mouth.

"Tailed Beast Ball?" Kakashi silently activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.

He remembered that Nagasawa said that there were three ways to deal with a Tailed Beast Ball. The first was to change its trajectory, which was the easiest and easiest way.

The second was to intercept it with powerful strength, like Nagasawa did.

And the third was to interrupt it while the Jinchuriki was compressing the Tailed Beast Ball.

However, it didn't take long to charge a Tailed Beast Ball. In addition, the Tailed Beast was huge and tough, so it was not easy to interrupt it.

However, this was not a problem for Kakashi. He used his Mangekyo to target the Tailed Beast Ball as Two-Tails Jinchuriki, was still charging the Tailed Beast Ball.

Kakashi's Mangekyo Sharingan spun rapidly, focusing at Yugito's Tailed Beast Ball and he then used Kamui!

A barrier space appeared around Yugito's mouth, as if the space was being distorted, until it eventually whittled away a third of the Tailed Beast Ball in Two-Tails' mouth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!

The unstable Tailed Beast Ball exploded in Two-Tails' mouth. Even Two-Tails' huge body was knocked down due to the powerful explosion.

"What's going on?" The Yugito looked at Kakashi with a puzzled face. The opponent was actually able to deal with her Tailed Beast Ball using such a strange Ninjutsu that could make a part of her Tailed Beast Ball, disrupting its balance in the process and caused it to explode in her mouth.

"Phew." Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. Mangekyō Sharingan sure was taxing to use. Even if he had more Chakra than before, he still felt that it consumed more Chakra than Raikiri and his Color of Arms Haki.

"I guess I'll have to use Wood Release to deal with such a big opponent."

"Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees!" Kakashi quickly made a series of hand seals, drawing the Apocalypse's power to maximum extent as he used this Wood Release Technique.

Rumble!!!!

A large number of branches broke through the ground, quickly growing into trees. Kakashi specifically put more Chakra to three trees closest to Two-Tails, making them grow more than ten meters tall that bounded Yugito.

Yugito tried to break free, only to realize that the three trees that bound her were absorbing her Chakra, weakening her with each passing second.

This was Wood Release's power! It was definitely effective against Tailed-Beasts.

"It's the First Hokage's Wood Release!" Seeing that Two-Tails was suppressed by Wood Release Technique Konoha's Shinobi became fired up, as if they were seeing a scene from a history book.

Minato scratched his head, feeling that it was different from what he imagined. Shouldn't Kakashi's growth be developing a stronger Thunder Release? Why did he suddenly have such a strong Wood Release?
