Chapter 12: A Powerful Enemy?

In the forest, the sound of explosions and the roar of the impact continued to be heard, and the strong blast wind crushed the surrounding trees to let out a painful groan, and the frightened birds scattered and fled, lest they affect themselves. Obviously, there was a fierce battle taking place at the site of the explosion, which made everyone who rushed to the scene with all their strength anxious.

Suddenly, all the sounds stopped, and the only thing that could be heard was the sound of the companions beside him hurrying away, which caused even more uneasiness among the top shinobi.

What is going on?Who is fighting?Is the battle over?Which side won?

And Kai, who had the best friendship with Kakashi, finally couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart, got out of the formation and said, "I'll go first and see what is going on in front of me." ”

The temporary captain shouted, "Wait, Kai, we don't know what's going on ahead, we don't have any information yet, it's too dangerous for you to rush up like this!"

Before he could finish his words, Kai had already spread out and disappeared from view. Kai's solo action made the shinobi wave his fist angrily and shouted, "All speed up! Everyone will give me 120% strength!"

The first thing Kai saw when he arrived at the scene of the battle was the scorched trees and ground, the scorched places were slowly emitting green smoke in the sunlight, and the scattered kunai and shuriken revealed that there had been a fierce battle here, and several giant trees were even uprooted and fell to the ground. Akai kept jumping and weaving from giant tree to giant tree, finally spotting Kakashi behind a giant tree.

Kakashi's face was pale, his body was covered with dust, his clothes were torn in several places, and the most shocking thing was a burned paw print on his left shoulder. Akai didn't remember what kind of bet or task at this time, he only felt that Kakashi in front of him might leave him at any time, and in a hurry, he grabbed Kakashi's shoulders with both hands, and shook it vigorously: "Kakashi, don't die, Kakashi!"

As Akai shook violently, Kakashi's neck couldn't help but shake back and forth, and Akai couldn't help himself when he saw Kakashi's unresponsiveness, shaking Kakashi even harder with both hands, crying, "Kakashi! You are my eternal opponent, how can you die here, wake up quickly, Kakashi!"

As Akai shook, only a 'cluck' sound was heard, and it seemed that something had broken. Kakashi, who had planned to pretend to be unconscious, had to open his eyes because he suspected that if Akai was allowed to continue dangling, he might die at his hands first.

"Stop, stop, ......"

Seeing Kakashi's right eye slowly open, before Kakashi could continue to say something, Akai hugged Kakashi hard and cried out, "Great! Kakashi, I knew you weren't dead!"

A series of 'cluck-la-la' voices accompanied Kakashi's slight shout, "Hmm...... Waist... Waist ...... "With Kai's help, Kakashi really fainted this time.

"Don't die! Hey, Kakashi!"

Luckily, the remaining 10 shinobi quickly arrived here and 'rescued' Kakashi from Kai's hands. After a correct rescue, it was finally fine, and after several shinobi who rescued Kakashi, after understanding Kakashi's injuries and doing emergency treatment, they couldn't help but gather together privately and quietly discussed: "Judging from the injuries, most of them are skin injuries, and the most serious ones are a scratch on the left shoulder and a fracture in the neck and waist. ”

"Well, the scratch on the left shoulder was accompanied by a burn, and judging by the size of the scratch, it was about a 6-8 year old kid scratching. ”

"What do you mean? That means isn't it the Nine-Tails imp who is fighting Kakashi?"

"No, I'm afraid it's the Nine-Tails ghost. Don't forget that he is a chakra with nine tails now. The chakra of the Nine-Tails is a fire, and because the wound caused by the powerful chakra attached to the grasp will be larger than the ordinary scratch area of the self, the wound on the left shoulder cannot be ruled out that it is not caused by the Nine-Tails imp. ”

"I see, what about the other two fractures?"

"In my opinion, I'm afraid that there are quite powerful physical masters around the other party. ”

"I think so too. Because when we re-divided the team for the first time, we already knew that Kakashi's speed was also one of the best in us, and being able to inflict continuous blows on the waist and neck proved that the opponent's speed must be above Kakashi. ”

"Then why didn't the other party kill Kakashi? With that kind of speed, Kakashi shouldn't be an opponent at all!"

"I don't know, it's possible that I feel the arrival of enemy reinforcements and don't want to stop and retreat. ”

"But as Kai said, he didn't notice anyone else's breath when he came. is also a master of physical arts, if the other party can sense the arrival of our reinforcements, in turn, when Kai arrives, he can feel the enemy's breath to some extent. ”

"I don't know ......"

"Could it be that the other party is not alone, if the other party has a very powerful perception ninja in addition to the physical arts master, then it makes sense that Kai did not sense the enemy's aura because he sensed that we were about to arrive and left first. ”

"I see. Then I think the other party has at least one ninjutsu master, because if the other party only had a perception ninja and a body ninja, it would not have been possible for such a big commotion in the previous battle with Kakashi. ”

"If they're all Nine-Tails who came to take them away, what the hell are they up to?

"This incident must definitely be reported to Hokage-sama in detail, although this is just our conjecture, but we have to guard against it. ”

"Well, let's also tell the captain that the next search should not be careless. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Good. ”

A group of open-minded Shangninas didn't expect that things were not so complicated, the terrifying enemy they guessed based on their injuries and battle situation did not actually exist, if it was not Kai who came first but someone else, then things would be much simpler and clearer. And the culprit who complicated this series of situations was doing push-ups with his hands upside down to pray that Kakashi would wake up soon, not thinking that it was because of himself that Kakashi was really unconscious.

After listening to this brain-opening but well-founded report, the leader of the team still chose to believe it, and while sending someone to contact Hokage-sama to wait for the latest instructions, he ordered the rest of the people to form a team of at least three people to search except for one person to take care of Kakashi, and warned them not to make any more mistakes like Kakashi's carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, and immediately notify the other teams if there was any movement, and not to act without permission.

I don't know how Kakashi would feel when he saw this. In a sense, Akai deserves to be his good teammate and has helped him a lot, but it is precisely because of him that he may have to lie in bed for ten days and eight days......

When he opened his eyes again, Naruto found himself lying on an unfamiliar bed. The last memory is still stuck in the forest, and it seems that he had walked a long way before he collapsed into a coma, but he couldn't remember it clearly.

Naruto felt a slight tickle in his right shoulder, and turned his head to find a child his own age sleeping next to him. The child's face was hidden by his earthy yellow hair, but the slight silhouette on the side showed that the child was not bad-looking. The child's hands were firmly gripping Naruto's right hand, and even though he was asleep, he never let go, and the two of them were only covered with a thin sheet, but fortunately it was still the height of summer, otherwise they would have caught a cold.

Naruto twitched his right hand, feeling that if he tried to pull it out, he would inevitably wake up the child next to him, so he stopped moving and began to look around instead. One of the people next to him immediately turned his gaze after noticing Naruto's small movements, although he was looking at Naruto, it was obvious that he was guarding Naruto's right hand, or whether Naruto would be detrimental to the child next to him.

Phew, it seems that I was saved by some amazing person, don't worry, I won't hurt your young master.

Although he thought so, Naruto didn't say anything, as long as he did it himself, why bother to tell others what he thought.

At this time, the child next to him seemed to have woken up, let go of the hands holding Naruto, rubbed his eyes that were still hazy, and after two or three seconds, a fierce spirit sat up. The little hand covered the gaping mouth and looked at Naruto blankly.

Naruto was a little hairy by the child, and was about to say something to break the strange peace, when the child suddenly lifted the sheet and ran out, shouting as he ran, "Grandpa! He's awake, come and have a look!"

Naruto, who was almost singled in the eye, looked at the middle-aged man who was still in the room and asked, "He's always so ......" After thinking for a long time, he finally found a tactful adjective, and continued: "Is he full of vitality?"

However, it was obvious that what had just happened had a great impact on the man, and he said a little distractedly: "No, it's probably because you're too happy when you wake up...... Also, she's a young lady!" the man corrected solemnly.

"Huh?"

"Grandpa, hurry up, hurry up!" came the anxious urging of the little girl from far and near outside the door, and it seemed that she came with the slow-moving grandfather.

"Got it, got it, don't worry. The old man was evidently very fond of his granddaughter, and was not angry about it.

After a while, the little girl dragged an old man in. To be honest, it was a bit funny for a little girl about 3 years old to drag an old man who was many times taller than her into the door, but it would be rude to laugh at this time. On the other hand, although the man next to him was a little surprised, he was more helpless, obviously this little girl was not usually the master of Ken'an's share.

The girl who stepped into the house seemed to remember something and suddenly hid behind the old man, only sticking out her head to look at the reactions of everyone in the house, and when she saw Naruto's smiling face, she couldn't help but blush her cheeks, and she didn't dare to stay indoors anymore and ran out.

The old man couldn't help but laugh when he saw his granddaughter running out with shame, and he was so angry that the girl who was hiding outside the house and eavesdropping loudly complained about her grandfather's evil deeds.

After making sure that the girl had run away and would not return for a while, the old man turned around and looked at Naruto.
