--------------------------------------------------------------

It was an ordinary morning, and the streets of the Hidden Leaf Village were gradually becoming lively.

The shops on both sides of the street had already begun their business, housewives carrying vegetable baskets went out to shop, and children laughed and played as they made their way through the crowd.

Occasionally, ninjas would suddenly appear on the rooftops and then disappear in the blink of an eye.

Kakashi Hatake, holding the final work published by Jiraiya, walked leisurely towards the Hokage building.

It felt so relaxing.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Sasuke had run away, that troublesome kid Naruto was taken away by Jiraiya, and even Sakura started to train with the Hokage. Now, he really felt light all over.

He didn't need to take care of students painstakingly. He only needed to do some tasks that were simple for him, and he could happily spend the day. This was truly an ideal life!

"Ka-ka-shi!"

Suddenly, a deep voice came from afar, and it was getting closer.

Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but get goosebumps, sighing somewhat helplessly: "Trouble has arrived."

"Good morning, Kakashi!" A man with thick black hair and thick eyebrows came rushing up and affectionately patted Kakashi's shoulder, showing off a set of neat, white teeth.

"Hm? Ah, it's Guy... Good morning." Kakashi Hatake, with droopy eyelids, greeted him listlessly.

Although not much of his face was visible, he vividly demonstrated a sleepy expression with one eye.

"NO!!!" Might Guy screamed with his hands in an X shape, lamenting, "My rival Kakashi! On this beautiful morning, how can you be so listless!"

"Although I can understand the pain in your heart..." Might Guy suddenly burst into tears.

"Ah?" Kakashi Hatake was puzzled.

"Indeed, not having your beloved students by your side can cause pain!" Might Guy clenched his fists in a cheering pose, "But a man cannot be defeated by such setbacks, cheer up Kakashi!"

He gave a thumbs up, winked, and his white teeth gleamed brightly: "You still have me, your best friend, by your side!"

"Thank you, Guy." Kakashi Hatake, feeling a bit overwhelmed, turned and walked away.

"Wait for me!" Might Guy hurriedly followed, "Don't be shy, Kakashi..."

Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but roll his eyes to the sky...

Then his gaze was caught by a familiar large bird.

"Hm? That is..." He couldn't help but frown.

It must be right, that huge owl, probably the same one they encountered when they met Sasuke last time.

"What?" Might Guy shaded his eyes and looked up, "Whose summoning beast is that?"

"Guy!" Kakashi Hatake's tone became serious, "It might be an enemy attack, let's go check it out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he dashed at full speed towards the landing site of the owl.

Might Guy quickly followed, asking out of curiosity, "Who is the enemy?"

"Uchiha Kaito." Kakashi Hatake explained urgently, "The man who ultimately took Sasuke away last time. Although we haven't fought, we need to be prepared to face a high-level Sharingan."

"Be careful," he cautioned, "That man might be even more troublesome than Uchiha Itachi."

"Uchiha, got it." Might Guy also became serious, "Should we notify the Hokage first?"

"It's too late for that," Kakashi Hatake said somewhat helplessly, "Fortunately, it looks like the place where the opponent landed doesn't have civilians, and the patrolling ninjas should have already noticed. Let's hurry over."

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

The two of them sped up once again.

At this time, due to the conspicuous arrival, Kaito and his group were already confronting a team of patrolling ninjas.

"I say, did you intentionally become so big before coming here? Can't you be a bit more low-key?" Kaito helplessly looked at the giant owl blocking out the sky in mid-air.

"Hoo hoo hoo..." The owl didn't engage, just making a series of bizarre laughing sounds.

I don't understand what you're saying!

I'm just an owl, after all!

Besides, who was it that persuaded me to come out and show off my splendid form, to leave a legend among humans?

And what happened!

As soon as we arrived at the destination, you ditched me!

No excuses! You really do see me just as a mode of transportation!

Today, I'm going to make a name for myself on my own.

Hmph!

"Who are you?" The captain of this patrol team, Inuzuka Shun, looked nervously at the three strangers in front of him.

Even surrounded by six Leaf ninjas, these three remained calm, indicating they didn't take him or his patrol colleagues seriously.

Moreover…

Shun took a closer look at the hostage held by Kaito, unaware of whether he was alive or dead, and couldn't help but be shocked and widened his eyes.

That... That's... Lord Danzo!

The other Leaf ninjas were making eye signals to him, asking what to do next as the team captain.

How would I know what to do!

Shun felt quite disheartened.

This is just our bad luck, facing a powerful enemy who has silently captured one of the advisors.

And we're just some ordinary chunin!

"Who are we?" Kaito looked at the Leaf ninjas who were on guard, a flash of scarlet crossing his eyes, "You should be able to tell."

"Uchi... Uchiha..." Shun couldn't help but swallow nervously, mustering the courage to ask, "What are your intentions by sneaking into the Leaf?"

"Heh, no need to be nervous." Kaito smiled warmly, "We're just here to retrieve the Uchiha clan's relics, and we have already finished. So we'll be leaving soon."

"Is that so?" The voice of Kakashi rang out next to Kaito's ear as he silently appeared, holding a kunai to Kaito's neck, "Then, could you please release Lord Danzo first?"

"Step back! Leave this to us!" At the same time, Might Guy also appeared in front of Shun, "You go report the situation here to the Hokage immediately!"

"Yes!" Shun, seeing the sudden appearance of the two elite jounin, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Nice to see you again, Kakashi-kun." The smile on the face of the hostage, Kaito, didn't waver in the slightest.

Kakashi tightened his grip on the kunai, drawing a line of blood on Kaito's neck, and spoke amicably, "No need to be so formal, just call me Kakashi. But I think it would be best if you released Lord Danzo first."

"The two seniors are really heartless, huh." Kaito looked mournfully at Izuna and Chiri standing beside him, "To just stand by and watch me fall into someone else's hands."

This act made Izuna glare at him fiercely.

"Really, there's no helping it." Kaito sighed again and threw the body of Danzo he was holding towards Might Guy, "Then, I'll return him to you."

Might Guy quickly caught Danzo, checking him over carefully, his face turning pale in an instant.

He carefully laid Danzo's body on the ground, glaring angrily at Kaito, solemnly saying, "Kakashi, Lord Danzo is already dead."
