"Stop talking nonsense! Give Gaara and Sensei Kurenai back to us! I am not interested in your name!" Uzumaki Naruto gritted his teeth and said.

"Brat…" Kisame's teeth were grinding, but he refrained from attacking and asked Itachi beside him, "Mr. Itachi, you have the final say on how to distribute the enemies." Itachi slowly raised his hand and pointed at Kakashi in the distance, "He is mine."

"No problem." Kisame nodded, looked at Might Guy, and licked his lips excitedly, "Then leave this watermelon-headed ninja to me. He is very much to my taste. My Samehada is very interested in his chakra."

"Hey." Kisame yelled to Might Guy, "I don't want to disturb Mr. Itachi's fight. Well, to be more precise, I don't want to be affected by Mr. Itachi's ability, so let's change the venue and fight one-on-one. What do you think? Do you dare?"

"One on one?" Might Guy looked at Kakashi with some concern.

"Don't worry about me." Kakashi gave a thumbs up and said, "Go fight him alone. Leave this white-haired ninja to me and Naruto. We will definitely defeat him."

Might Guy hesitated for a moment before nodding, "I understand. I will come to help you after I deal with that shark head. Don't get hurt before that, Kakashi."

"Don't worry, I'm the Copy Ninja Kakashi, I won't be defeated so easily." Kakashi nodded.

Might Guy didn't say anything, he raised his head to Kisame and said, "Let's go, Shark Head, let's change the venue."

"Hmph." Kisame laughed and disappeared in an instant.

Might Guy also disappeared in an instant, and the two went to another place, leaving Kakashi and Itachi alone.

"Then we should formulate a strategy first." Kakashi did not rush to attack, but lowered his voice and said, "Sakura, you are responsible for finding opportunities to use your super strength to attack the opponent, I will fight him head-on, Naruto, you stay on the side——"

Whoosh!

Before he could finish his words, Uzumaki Naruto rolled a Rasengan and rushed towards Itachi, yelling, "Give Gaara back to me, you bastard!"

"Naruto!" Seeing this, Kakashi and Haruno Sakura's faces changed drastically.

In an instant, Uzumaki Naruto rushed in front of Itachi, and the Rasengan in his hand pressed hard against Itachi's handsome face.

Whoosh!

Just when the Rasengan was about to hit Itachi, Itachi disappeared instantly and appeared behind Uzumaki Naruto.

Puff!

Then, Uzumaki Naruto's shoulder was cut open, and a large amount of blood spurted out.

Plop!

Uzumaki Naruto fell to the ground, covering the wound on his shoulder, looking at Itachi ferociously and incredulously, "What just…what happened just now?…"

"So fast!" Kakashi, who was far away, was also shocked by this scene and his pupils shrank slightly, "I couldn't see the other party's movements clearly with my Sharingan, what's going on?…"

"Hey." Kakashi looked at Itachi vigilantly, "My eyes saw that there is not a single chakra in your body, and I just remembered that you look familiar. Are you from the Anbu of Konoha? I seem to have seen you."

Itachi ignored him as a matter of course.

Kakashi didn't care and explained to himself, "I don't remember any member of Konoha's Anbu without chakra. After you defected from Konoha, did you abandon chakra and adopt other fighting methods? But even physical skills cannot be separated from the support of chakra, right? What are you using?"

Whoosh! What came back to him was Itachi's slash.

Kakashi was quick-eyed and quick-handed and immediately held the kunai in front of him to block it.

Ding!

The blade and the kunai collided, and Itachi's instant slash was barely blocked by Kakashi.

"Is it true that the Sharingan can't see clearly?" Kakashi struggled with the opponent and said through gritted teeth, "I can only rely on my feelings to fight you. Fortunately, my rich combat experience allows me to predict your movements. Otherwise, I would have been——"

Boom!

Before he could finish his words, Itachi had already drawn his sword, stepped back two steps, and then kicked Kakashi in the abdomen.

"Puff—" Kakashi spat out a large mouthful of blood after being kicked, flew several meters away, rolled on the ground for several circles, his body was covered with yellow sand, and he was motionless.

"Pah, pah, pah." After a while, Kakashi got up and spit out the sand in his mouth, "It seems that this is an enemy who doesn't like to talk much."

"Teacher Kakashi!" Haruno Sakura ran over to support Kakashi, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Kakashi shook his head and said, "Stand back, this guy is very fast, don't get hurt by mistake, let me handle it."

"I don't want to!" Haruno Sakura immediately shook her head, "I want to fight with you! We are Team 7, a team! We can't let Teacher Kakashi face danger alone!"

"…Your awareness of believing in your companions is commendable, but at this time you should examine your own strength." Kakashi looked at Uzumaki Naruto, who was lying on the ground in the distance and wailing in pain, "Look at Naruto, he was seriously injured after just one encounter. How many seconds do you think you can hold on in his hands?"

Haruno Sakura also looked at Naruto and was speechless.

Kakashi comforted, "Go, Sakura, wait by the side, I can deal with such an enemy, believe me."

Haruno Sakura lowered her head and did not speak, as if she was struggling with something.

After a long time, she suddenly stood up and said with a firm look in her eyes, "No! I can definitely help! Lady Tsunade trained me, not to let me be a coward! Look, Teacher Kakashi, I am no longer the same as before!"

After that, she stepped on the ground and rushed towards Itachi with her fist raised, "Don't be so arrogant! Take my punch! Ah!"

Puff!

She was still in mid-air, her fist hadn't come down yet, but Itachi had already stabbed out with a knife at an extremely fast speed, piercing Haruno Sakura's lower abdomen.

"Cough…" Haruno Sakura vomited blood and looked down at her abdomen in disbelief.

"Noisy." Itachi casually threw Haruno Sakura far away.

Haruno Sakura fell into the yellow sand with a plop and stopped moving. Only blood could be seen flowing out from her body, dyeing the yellow sand red.

I want to give a huge thanks to the Dragon king card holder : Creature
