Shadow Kill

Hiding a hundred meters away, Yasuke felt his heart sink!

In the battle group, apart from Kakashi, who still had the ability to fight, the others like Guy Sensei, Benny, Dakota, and Genma Shiranui were all struggling to hold on. Each of them was severely injured, not only unable to assist Kakashi but also becoming burdensome, hindering Kakashi's efforts to break through.

On the contrary, among the Mist Ninja, only four Chunin were killed, and one Jonin was injured.

The remaining two Mist Ninja Jonin, three Chunin, and three Genin had surrounded Kakashi and his team in the center. It was like a cat playing with a mouse, watching Kakashi and his team with amused eyes, just waiting for them to collapse on their own, minimizing the Mist Ninja's casualties and losses.

Clearly, it was Kakashi's earlier terrifying feat of instantly killing four Mist Ninja Chunin that had made these ambushers cautious.

But while observing from a distance, Yasuke became even more puzzled when he noticed that the four fallen Mist Ninja Chunin were all killed by Kakashi.

Especially when he looked at Guy Sensei, Genma Shiranui, and Benny, noticing that they were all seriously injured but had no significant battle marks on them, Yasuke couldn't help but wonder:

"What's going on?"

"How did Guy, Genma, and Benny end up so injured without seemingly participating in the battle?"

"Did the Mist Ninja plan another ambush targeting Guy first?"

"Could it be... that Guy was their breakthrough point?"

Recalling the scenes before he left, Yasuke couldn't help but smile bitterly, realizing that the Mist Ninja might have targeted Guy as their entry point.

After all, before Yasuke left, Guy was already a ticking time bomb due to his different ideology from the ANBU, constantly threatening the safety of Yasuke's ANBU team.

However, no one knew at that time that the bandits they were supposed to eliminate were actually Mist Ninja infiltrating the Land of Fire. So, even when Guy threw another tantrum as Yasuke departed, Benny and Genma Shiranui didn't pay much attention, especially since Kakashi didn't try to console Guy either. Benny and the others didn't feel obliged to teach Guy a lesson.

In this ANBU team, perhaps Yasuke was the only one who warned Guy with his actions before leaving!

Unfortunately, Yasuke's approach was too aggressive.

Instead of calming Guy down, it made him more extreme!

"Refugees? Refugees!"

"What's wrong with being a refugee? Aren't they human too?"

"Why did Kakashi change after leaving the village, and even Yasuke changed?"

"I don't believe it! How could a few refugees threaten our lives? Is saving a few refugees wrong?!"

With these extreme thoughts, Guy once again acted alone while Kakashi and the others were waiting for Yasuke to return.

"Captain, should we stop Guy?"

Seeing Guy suddenly leave the team, Dakota, the sensory-type ninja, frowned and asked Kakashi.

"No need, it's good to let him learn a lesson."

Replying coldly, Kakashi squinted slightly and asked Dakota, "Are you sure there are only four Chunin?"

"Positive!"

"Then there's no problem! Hmph, just four Chunin, what kind of trouble can they cause?"

In Yasuke's ANBU team, Dakota was the sensory-type ninja, essentially the eyes of Yasuke's team.

So, after getting a positive answer from Dakota, Kakashi didn't think much of it and waited for the few "refugees" Guy rescued to fall into the trap.

Sure enough, the few "refugees" that Guy rescued were actually disguised Mist Ninja.

In normal circumstances, Guy should have easily discovered that the refugees were disguised Mist Ninja. After all, during Yasuke's interactions with Guy, Yasuke knew that although Guy seemed a bit silly, he was actually very meticulous and cautious. Otherwise, how could he become a famous Jonin in Konoha in the original storyline?

Unfortunately, driven by extreme thoughts, Guy's rationality gradually faded.

Almost as soon as he brought those refugees back, casting a disdainful glance at Kakashi and the others, about to prove that rescuing refugees could still accomplish the mission, there was a sudden "bang", and the few "refugees" turned into Mist Ninja, leaving Guy stunned!

Of course!

Guy wasn't the only one stunned; Kakashi, Dakota, and the others were all shocked as well!

Because as soon as the Mist Ninja revealed themselves, Kakashi realized that Dakota's information was wrong!

However, Kakashi could understand Dakota's mistake because it wasn't Dakota's fault but rather the fact that the Mist Ninja team also had a sensory-type ninja!

Moreover, the Mist Ninja's sensory-type ninja was a Jonin!

Immediately, using the sensory shielding from the Mist Ninja's sensory-type Jonin, Kakashi and his team fell into a tough battle.

Especially when the two disguised Jonin appeared, Guy, Benny, Genma Shiranui, and the others didn't even have time to defend and were severely injured in an instant. Among them, Guy was the most seriously injured since he was the closest to the refugees, suffering the worst injuries in the end!

Ultimately, only Kakashi managed to turn the tide in their ANBU team, not only instantly killing four Mist Ninja Chunin but also injuring the Mist Ninja sensory-type Jonin, barely stabilizing the situation.

However, stabilizing the situation was all Kakashi could do.

Looking at the lineup of Mist Ninja around him, even Kakashi felt a chill, and Guy's eyes were filled with remorse as he lowered his head and regretfully said:

"Kakashi, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me..."

"Shut up!"

Before Guy could finish, Kakashi shouted angrily:

"Save your strength for escaping instead of talking! Idiot!"

"Hahaha, you still think you can escape?"

Before Guy could respond, a Mist Ninja Jonin mocked:

"Do you really think you can escape?"

"Or is your hope the kid who just left?"

"To be honest, that kid's situation is much more dangerous than yours!"

"One Chunin and three Genin, and you think that kid can handle it alone? Do you think he has any chance of survival? Just wait until you're in hell to ask him!"

"Hahaha!"

The Mist Ninja Jonin laughed wildly.

The mocking laughter deepened Guy's remorse and brought Kakashi's heart to the bottom.

However, just as Kakashi sighed deeply, gripping his kunai tightly, determined to kill as many Mist Ninja as he could without abandoning his comrades in battle, there was a sudden "whoosh"!

In Kakashi's slightly desperate eyes, a sudden shadow rising made his eyes light up with hope!

"Yasuke!"

"You didn't disappoint me!"
