Chapter 196 Kakashi's Quick Thinking

Deep in the jungle of the Land of Grass jungle deep.

Kakashi is like a galloping silver lightning, and his silhouette flickering between the tall branches and leaves, desperately running away.

He ran while refining Chakra, and when his stamina run low, he immediately takes out the military rations pill and eat it, without daring to stop even for a moment!

It's just that by refining Chakra all the way, not only his stamina, but even his spirit is faint, but at this time, Kakashi can only grit his teeth and hold on.

"No, I'll never be able to escape the Land of Grass if I go on like this!"

Kakashi stopped running with a pale face, lowered his eyes and pondered quickly.

At least two of the three Iwagakure's Shinobi who were chasing him were Jōnin. If he hadn't noticed the crisis one step ahead of time and escaped in time, his body would have turned cold at this time!

But this chase just now consumes most of Kakashi's stamina. If it wasn't for his survival consciousness, he would not be able to wait for Shikuro's support!

But can Shikuro stop two Jōnin?

Kakashi finds it unrealistic, but Shikuro can hold at least one or two people. Then, there should be only one Iwagakure's Shinobi who is chasing him at this time, and the worst case is two people!

'In this case… I can only take a gamble!'

Kakashi puts his hands together: "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" (Shadow Clone Technique)

Boom!

White mist exploded, and an identical Kakashi turned around, then somersaults in mid-air and landed on the ground.

Kakashi quickly disappeared among the lush foliage without looking back, while the shadow clone erased the traces of the main body leaving, and then stood in place and waited.

After a while, Iwagakure's Jōnin and Sandaime Tsuchikage's son, Kitsuchi galloped out of the forest like a vigorous… hippo!

"I've caught up with you!"

Seeing the shadow clone, Kitsuchi stopped immediately, but immediately after, he felt something was wrong: 'Is this guy an idiot? Why would he stay here and not run?'

'Wouldn't it be naive to think that Aburame Clan's Shinobi can hold the three of us?'

Kitsuchi showed a look of suspicion, and then remembered the previous scene where Kakashi had noticed the trap one step in advance and ran away from their encirclement one step in advance.

This Konoha's little brat is not only strong, but also has a brilliant mind, so it is impossible for him to stay here and wait for his companion!

"Are you a shadow clone?"

Kitsuchi narrowed his eyes.

"You will understand if you catch me!"

The shadow clone smiled slightly, turned around and galloped away in the other direction.

Doton: Doryūsō! (Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears)

Kitsuchi slammed the ground without saying a word. Accompanied by the huge amount of Chakra pouring into the ground, dozens of huge sharp stone spears instantly rose up like bamboo shoots in the rain, stabbing the shadow clone.

The shadow clone jumped up to the tall branches and leaves, and the stone spear on the ground skyrocketed in the next instant, violently stabbing towards the shadow clone's ass.

The shadow clone turned back and smiled, his toes focused heavily on the branch, and the instant the stone spear broke the branches, he jumped to the opposite branches and leaves, and then flashed away from the branches and leaves like a curved lightning.

Kitsuchi subconsciously wanted to catch up, but after another thought, 'No, this is just a shadow clone!'

'I must not be fooled!'

Kitsuchi immediately checked the surroundings, and sure enough, he found the traces left by Kakashi's main body. Although there are traces of being erased, it is estimated that the time is too tight, so the erasure was not thorough enough!

Finding the right direction, Kitsuchi immediately followed after the traces.

About five minutes later, Kitsuchi saw Kakashi's tired silhouette.

"You can't run away!"

Kitsuchi urged his Chakra, and he accelerated and passed over Kakashi in an instant, appearing among the branches and leaves in the front, and said in a stern tone, "This is the end, Konoha's little brat!"

"Really?"

Kakashi looked up at Kitsuchi, and the corners of his mouth covered by the black mask showed an arc of disdain, "What a pity."

"What do you mean?" Kitsuchi looked at Kakashi's eyes, vaguely feeling that something was out of his control.

"Do you know?" Kakashi said nonchalantly in a slightly mocking tone, "Smart people tend to believe oneself infallible, and you are no exception."

Kitsuchi was furious, 'Father always scolded me for being naive, and you said I am smart, are you mocking me!'

Without saying another word, Kitsuchi formed hand seals and used fist rock, then jumped up high, and smashed Kakashi with a huge fist rock.

Kakashi didn't dodge or evade, and brazenly took the punch with his face.

Boom!

Under the fist rock's attack, Kakashi directly turned into smoke and dissipated into the air.

'Shadow clone?'

'This is shadow clone?!'

Kitsuchi was stunned for a moment, then reacted abruptly, and quickly turned around and ran back. It only took him two and a half minutes to reach the previous 'wrong' intersection, and then after he identified the next direction, he immediately chased towards the shadow clone, no, it was Kakashi's main body ran to, but after chasing for a while, Kitsuchi found that there is no trace of Shinobi activity anywhere!

Obviously, when Kitsuchi chased after Kakashi's shadow clone, Kakashi's main body had enough time to eliminate all traces!

Kitsuchi fiercely punched the thick tree trunk next to him, causing the tree to fall, and then left with a sullen face after a while.

'Has he gone?'

At the bottom of a big tree not far away, a large number of hideous roots broke out of the soil, forming a gap similar to a tree hole. Kakashi motionlessly hid in it, closed his eyes and held his breath while also stopping refining Chakra, trying to minimize his sense of existence as much as possible.

He couldn't be sure that Kitsuchi has left, so he can only try to maintain this state!

...

At the same time.

The place where Shikuro and Hiachi fought.

The sky is full of bees and Kikaichū desperately biting and colliding with each other in mid-air, and from time to time, they turn into weird and garish graphics in an attempt to break the defense of the enemy insects. The intensity of the fight is breathtaking!

Hiachi's Chakra has been consumed by more than half, and while refining Chakra, he continued to use Chakra to spawn bees to join the battle, but it was already beyond his means.

And at a certain moment, Hiachi suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He couldn't tell what was wrong, but it's just a feeling, an intuition, as if something bad is happening.

'Are there reinforcements from Konoha?'

Hiachi immediately narrowed his eyes, and paid attention to the situation around him. At this moment, he noticed something was different behind him, but before he could move, the air flow in the back of his head suddenly turned violently abnormal. With his rich combat experience, without even thinking about it, Hiachi moved his head to the side, and then he feels a pain in his ears!

Although the back of his head dodged the attack of the blade, he turned his head and exposed his ear under the blade.

"Damn it!!!"

Hiachi was maddened by the pain at this time, but at the next moment, he felt powerless on his whole body, especially his hands and feet, as if he was paralyzed and completely lost control over them!

He fell to the ground 'lazily', and soon after, he saw a large amount of blood spilling from his waist. With the blood leaving, there was his increasingly blurred consciousness.

Yes, Kanpū not only stabbed Hiachi with Moonlight Sword with his right hand, but also stabbed him with a kunai with his left hand.

Hiachi managed to dodge the Moonlight Sword stabbing towards the back of his head, but couldn't dodge the kunai stabbing at his waist!

"Kanpū, you… did a great job!!"

In the front, Shikuro is having a headache on how to take Shisui away from battlefield when he saw Hiachi suddenly fell, and Kanpū's figure is also revealed from the thin air, and he suddenly burst with joy!
