Chapter 44 Kakashi: "This knife can't be stopped, can it?

Trading injury for injury seems foolish.

But Kenichi has his own confidence.

The Sage Body of Senju Hashirama brings not only talent but also the terrifying constitution of the First Hokage. Kenichi had tested before that some not very serious injuries could heal quickly on their own.

This made Kenichi couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Kishimoto didn't write the specific cause of death for the First Hokage, after all, he was too strong, and it was unclear how he should die.

It could only be vaguely stated that he sacrificed himself for the village.

Watching the retreating Root ninja, Kenichi didn't hesitate, his hands condensed a large amount of lightning attribute chakra, accompanied by the piercing sound of birds, and charged again.

"I can't see clearly." Kenichi squinted his eyes, the speed was too fast, he couldn't completely see the opponent's movements.

Only after obtaining the Sharingan could he maximize the use of the Chidori ninjutsu.

Kenichi vaguely saw the opponent seemed to have raised something, he subconsciously twisted his body.

Then he felt the pain of being pierced by a sharp weapon in his shoulder.

However, Kenichi didn't feel at a loss, his Chidori successfully hit the target this time.

Looking at the Root ninja flying backward, Kenichi pulled the sword out of his shoulder, then turned around and left immediately.

There wasn't enough time, the recent battle had taken some time, and there might be other reinforcements behind the opponent.

Of course, he could kill the opponent if he went up, but if he was held back by other Root ninjas who came later, it would be a loss.

So, after confirming that the opponent had no ability to continue tracking in the short term, Kenichi didn't hesitate to run away.

And just in this short period, the wound on his hand had already begun to heal, and after a while, he probably wouldn't even need to go to the hospital.

By the time he got to the hospital, the doctor would say it's good that he came quickly, otherwise, the wound would have healed.

After escaping from that Root ninja, Kenichi's escape route became smoother, Danzo hadn't arranged another Root ninja to come over.

He probably thought that a mere Chunin could be easily dealt with by a Jonin, which made Kenichi a lot more relaxed.

After running for a whole day, Kenichi found a place to fake his escape traces, then quickly left and headed to another location.

"Teacher, I don't know where you are, but I think the most likely place is there." Kenichi scratched his head, then quickly shuttled between the tree trunks.

Although leaving the village this time was a bit sudden, and the teacher didn't have time to tell him where to meet, Kenichi knew only one laboratory away from Konoha Village.

That was the place where the illegitimate child of the Hyuga clan was imprisoned last time.

So it was probably that location.

As Kenichi approached, he also became cautious. Although this place was only known to him and his teacher, it would be troublesome if something went wrong.

What if Jiraiya chased after the teacher?

It's always good to be cautious.

"I heard you defeated a Jonin from Root? Not bad." A familiar voice came from behind, Kenichi turned around joyfully, then saw his teacher who still looked the same.

"Teacher, are you not injured?" Kenichi looked at his teacher's appearance, the breath was stable, and there was no sign of injury.

"It's just Jiraiya." Orochimaru revealed a slight smile, then turned around and opened the door to the underground laboratory.

Kenichi also hurriedly followed, now he was completely a defector from Konoha, just wondering what level he would be labeled as? The teacher is definitely S-rank.

"List Orochimaru and Kenichi as Konoha defectors, Orochimaru as an S-rank defector, Kenichi as a B-rank defector." At this moment in the Konoha building, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi pinched his brow, somewhat irritably speaking.

The previous events had a big impact, the Sannin battle made half of the Konoha village aware, Orochimaru and his disciple Kenichi's defection was already a clear matter.

He could only handle it officially.

Kakashi lowered his head and did not speak, he was somewhat in a trance at this moment, after all, in a blink of an eye, his teacher and his teacher's wife died, and then his acknowledged friend turned out to be a defector?

It was like someone stabbed him in the heart, and before the wound could heal, he was stabbed again.

"B-rank? That kid is not B-rank, he defeated a Jonin from Root!" Danzo angrily slapped the table next to him.

Originally, he thought that dealing with a mere Chunin should be easy, and then presenting Kenichi's body to take the blame, it's hard to say there could be some other twists.

As a result, the opponent escaped and seriously injured his own ninja.

According to Tanuki's words, during the battle with that kid, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, followed by difficulty breathing, darkness began to appear in front of his eyes, and at the same time, his whole body seemed a bit uncomfortable.

Even if he quickly disengaged to relieve it, he was hit by the opponent's Chidori, if it wasn't for the quick support of his Root companions, he would have almost died there.

"Jonin? You mean Kenichi defeated a Jonin?" The Third Hokage took a puff of smoke, this time he was really a bit surprised.

He had seen Kenichi before, who had just become a Chunin, his talent could only be said to be very ordinary, at this age to become a Chunin, Kakashi was already a Jonin at his age.

So the Third Hokage always felt that Kenichi was just an assistant researcher in the laboratory, he didn't expect that he could defeat a Jonin.

"Yes, and he used this kid's Chidori." Danzo said sarcastically.

Kakashi's eyes darkened, no wonder he was called over, it turned out to be for this reason.

"The Hatake family has made great contributions, and Kakashi didn't know at the time, there's no need to mention this anymore." The Third Hokage looked deeply at Danzo, his old friend was becoming more and more unscrupulous.

The Hatake family only had Kakashi left, and Danzo was still targeting Kakashi, this old guy was too much.

"Hmph." Danzo snorted coldly, but did not say anything else.

"Then, Kenichi is designated as an A-rank defector." The Third Hokage stamped the Hokage's seal, which also set the nature of this incident.

However, the Konoha high-level did not immediately issue these warrants, but temporarily concealed them, the fact that one of the Sannin, Orochimaru, became a defector had a great impact on Konoha.

It also easily exposed Konoha's weakness, it's better to conceal it for a while.
