Konoha Calendar, 49th year, August.

The weather is still as hot as in previous years.

Kakashi stood at the entrance of the village, looked up at the two gates of Ye Green, which had not been seen in three months, and remembered this season last year...

At that time, he and Obito joined forces but were defeated by Uchiha Night Light. In the end, Obito was even injured and hospitalized. If the teacher had not come quickly, the consequences might have been even more miserable.

It was from that time that he discovered his weakness.

Later, the failure of Shuangxiu Village once again made him deeply realize how weak and incompetent he was.

The name of the genius who was touted was nothing.

After a year, I should be stronger this year than I did last year, right?

Kakashi subconsciously lowered her head and looked at her waist. There was nothing there. He did not carry [Leopard King] with him. In other words, when he was practicing in the past three months, he only used a short white-toothed knife, and [Leopard King] was placed directly by him in the deepest part of the storage room in his home.

There was one thing he didn't tell anyone.

He had a nightmare for three months.

The dark dream, the dark monster, you can see the dark monster's self in the dark dream... The most uncomfortable thing is that the black monster has the same face as him - the kind without a mask.

He knew very well what the painted black monster represented.

Three months ago,

He ran away in front of the messenger of the Rain Hidden Village.

Totally out of control.

He clearly remembered that he drew his sword at Zhishui without hesitation and liberated the [Leopard King].

At that time, he really wanted to kill Zhishui, who was blocking the way, and then kill members of the [Xiao] organization sitting in the conference room... He remembered all this clearly, and even the violent murderous intent seemed to be hidden in his heart and did not fade away.

Since then, he has had nightmares.

Dreaming of the dark monster with the same face as himself but stronger than him... that was his fear of the Leopard King.

Fear of your own tolerant tool?

What a joke that is not funny at all!

However, this is the fact that Kakashi faces.

Teacher Minato told him some conjectures about [Leopard King]. His own weakness caused the chakra of the ninja turtle to invade and amplify the overly strong feelings in his heart, causing him to lose control and run away in front of Teacher Minato in front of Teacher Minato in the Hidden Village of Rain.

The Leopard King is too strong and he is too weak.

Kakashi didn't know whether he should be happy to have such a powerful tolerant tool, or to be painful for his weakness...

The only thing he knows is that if it is not necessary, it is best not to use [Leopard King] easily.

"Kakashi, Lin, you guys are here so fast!"

The sudden voice interrupted Kakashi's time to admire the gate of Konoha Village that he had not seen for a long time.

He looked up and saw Asma jumping from the roof in the distance.

"Akai is here too... Isn't this the last one I have arrived?" Asma saw Akai exercising one-handed and one-finger push-ups in the corner, and sighed depressedly.

As soon as he got home, the old man grabbed and scolded him. He finally got out of here and rushed over, but he became the last one to attend.

It's all because the old man talks too much nonsense.

Asma thought in trouble.

"It's not yet nine o'clock!"

Kakashi muttered, then called all three of them in front of him.

"Are you ready?"

Akai and Asma both nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

However, Asma kept looking at Kakashi's waist. No, looking at Kakashi's waist, Kakashi felt uncomfortable all over. He knew that Asma was not looking at his waist, but he felt really uncomfortable.

"Kakashi, don't you bring a knife?"

In the end, Asma couldn't help but ask.

"·······I can summon me when I need it." Kakashi was silent for two seconds and gave the answer.

"Wow! So awesome! That's great..."

Asma became more and more envious.

Ever since Kakashi used [Leopard King] to show off his power that night, Asma has been envious of Kakashi's ninja tools. He asked Kakashi about it from Kakashi that it was a ninja tool cast by Uchiha Naruto, and the fourth generation of Naruto did not punish Kakashi at all.

However, things got broken again with the old man.

He was not allowed to find Uchiha Naruto, a rebellious ninja.

If he dared to contact Ichisuke's rebellious man, the old man would definitely be able to break his legs... So he could only watch Kakashi's [Leopard King] with envious saliva.

"Okay, there are no other problems, right?"

Kakashi was unwilling to say more about [Leopard King], so he asked the three of them again. After getting the confirmed answer, he immediately announced his departure.

Go north!

Go north!

Go north all the way!

Without following the so-called main road, the four people followed the principle of the shortest straight line between two points and went straight into the forest... and rushed!

Climbing mountains and crossing the water is like walking on flat ground.

When Ninja runs at full speed, it works better than a train.

Moreover, when they are on the road, they will not delay their chat.

"Kakashi, Aka, Lin, who do you think the other teammate will be?" After a while of work, Asma felt a little bored. When she remembered that they had an unknown fifth teammate, they immediately felt as if they had found Huadian and were full of energy.

"have no idea."

Kakashi's attitude was cold.

"I... can't think of it." Akai was a little forgetful. If someone he didn't meet often, he might have forgotten the names and appearance of others (except Kakashi).

Asma's problem is simply a difficult task for him Akai!

"The teacher said Obito has another task, Hong or Chunin..."

The most reliable one was Lin. The girl counted the people she could think of one by one, and then found that she could not guess who would be waiting for them in Daming Mansion, Tian Kingdom.

"I have no clue at all... Since Lord Naruto asked this mysterious guy to team up with us, he is definitely the one we know... Otherwise, there would be no token, and there would be no way to confirm the authenticity of the other party's identity......" Asma used his brain with all his strength.

Kakashi shook his head speechlessly.

Asma is also very idle. In his opinion, this kind of thing is not worth the effort. Anyway, you will know when you meet someone when you get to the place.

But that's fine.

To avoid this guy being idle and upset, if he continues to ask about the [Leopard King], it would be better to let Asmado die some brain cells.

———

The country of Tian.

Orochimaru's base is still the same room with thick iron doors and viewing tables.

"Dang!!"

A cold sword light bloomed in the darkness.

The sharp blade first shot down the short knife in the girl's hand, and then placed it on the girl's neck.

"You lost."

"I······"

Three points are absurd, three points are shocked, three points are admired, and some annoyed. This is the portrayal of Akashi's mood at this moment.

It's ridiculous because the opponent he is fighting with is an ordinary person who can't even extract chakra.

I was shocked because such an ordinary person actually defeated her in swordsmanship.

I admire him because of the other party's superb swordsmanship that was so beautiful that she was speechless.

As for that anger, it was because Lord Nagarjuna was watching this on the stage at the moment, but she lost so simply and so...shamed. Akashi suddenly felt a sense of murderous intention in his heart. Why didn't he just kill the thin ball in front of him like a firewood stick?

"Play!!!"

Lonely applause came from above.

The murderous intent in Akashi's heart disappeared instantly.

She turned sideways, knelt on one knee on the ground, lowering her head deeply, "Sir Nagarjuna, I'm sorry, I...lose."

"Get up! You're not wronged. Just talking about swordsmanship, you're not as good as him..." Nagarjuna, who appeared like a ghost, crossed over Akashi who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the thin man holding a long sword opposite him, and asked with a smile: "Can you tell me your name?"

The man with black hair and green eyes and thin body looked cold and looked at Nagarjuna silently, without saying a word, but just lifted the knife in his hand slightly inch.
