Chapter 4: Bitterness is Delicious
Nagasawa shook his head.
Kakashi was a little naive. If the mission was really just collecting some information, why would Kakashi, a Jonin, have to go? Just send a Chunin instead.
Not everyone desired peace. Some organizations that made a fortune from war did not want the war to end so quickly, and some minor villages even did not want to end the war.
If they wanted to give Five Great Shinobi Countries a run for their money, peace was not what they wanted.
So if there were a chance, they would definitely cause trouble.
Although Nagasawa felt that even if the intel fell into the wrong hands, it was impossible to destroy the peace treaty between Konohagakure and Iwagakure.
But as long as there was a slight probability, those people would not miss it.
Might Guy eventually returned to the village after Kakashi convinced him, and the two resumed their journey again.
On the way, Nagasawa reminded: "Kakashi, you better be careful. There's a high chance that we'll encounter enemies during this mission."
Kakashi nodded, but he did not think much of it. In terms of experience, he was more Senpai-like than Nagasawa.
Moreover, Nagasawa reminded Kakashi of Rin. In the past, Rin always reminded him not to let his guard down...
Kakashi felt that his right hand was still stained with Rin's blood. It was a sin that could not be washed away, no matter how hard he tried.
Kakashi once again blamed himself.
Seeing Kakashi like this, Nagasawa no longer said any word and silently rushed forward.
He understood that his empty words would only make Kakashi fall even deeper instead of waking him up.
The two quickly arrived at the designated place and got the information.
Nagasawa also became serious as he used his Color of Observation Haki to the best of his abilities.
The journey back was the easiest moment to be ambushed.
The enemy didn't even need to kill them. They could just get rid of the intel.
Not long after leaving the border, Nagasawa sensed four Shinobis wearing black clothes and masks hiding in the forest.
However, after sensing their strength, Nagasawa heaved in relief as they were just three Chunins and one Special Jonin.
However, Nagasawa just followed Kakashi without him, looking forward to seeing how Kakashi would deal with them.
Kakashi suddenly felt a murderous intent and immediately stopped.
"Shuu!"
A Kunai flashed past Kakashi's face and was embedded in a tree.
At this time, Kakashi suddenly found that there were four enemies in black around him.
Kakashi lifted his forehead protector, revealing Sharingan, before he immediately made a series of hand seals for Chidori.
Zizizizi!!
The powerful blue lightning flashed in Kakashi's hand.
Without hesitation, Kakashi used Chidori's super high speed to instantly rush to the two closest enemies, ready to deal with them first.
Looking at Kakashi's performance, Nagasawa could only acknowledge how much of a genius Kakashi was. Even though being outnumbered, these trash wouldn't be able to touch him.
Just when Nagasawa thought that Kakashi was going to insta-kill the two of them, the lightning in Kakashi's hand suddenly disappeared, and a trace of inexplicable sadness appeared on his face.
Rin's figure once again appeared in his eyes, and it was as if he found himself on that tragic day. The figure of the Shinobi in black overlapped with Rin.
Although the Shinobi in black did not understand why Kakashi suddenly stopped, he would not let go of such a good opportunity to attack.
Chakra enveloped his hand, and he directly sent Kakashi flying with a punch.
thump!
Kakashi fell to the ground, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
The pain woke Kakashi up, and at the same time, he felt a little despair in his heart.
He was injured, and there were four enemies.
"Well, so be it. A person like me doesn't deserve to live anyway. Rin has Obito, and I'm coming to see you guys soon." Kakashi thought to himself.
Seeing this scene, Nagasawa could not help but cover his face with his hands. Did Kakashi hear his thoughts, and it angered him somehow?
The Shinobis in black breathed a sigh of relief. They felt that the mission was accomplished, even though Kakashi had startled them just now.
As for Nagasawa, who was behind Kakashi, they did not care about him. The main threat had been dealt with, and dealing with him shouldn't be a hard task.
"They sure take me lightly." Nagasawa looked at Kakashi, who was embracing his end, and the Shinobis in black, who thought they had accomplished their mission.
He was worried that he couldn't try out his Color of Supreme King Haki on a Shinobi.
"Kill!" The leader of the Shinobis in black coldly ordered.
In an instant, three Shinobis in black rushed toward Kakashi, and the remaining one rushed toward Nagasawa.
"Hmph!" Nagasawa snorted and sent out his Color of Supreme King Haki.
The powerful momentum instantly stopped the movements of the four Shinobis in black, and they looked at Nagasawa with shock on their faces.
"How is this possible? What is this aura!" A black-clothed Shinobi desperately tried to do hand seals and used ninjutsu, only to find that he could not even move his fingers.
Only the leader, who was a Special Jonin, could barely move. He looked at Nagasawa vigilantly and kept retreating.
Kakashi, who was lying on the ground, also looked at Nagasawa in shock, as if he had seen a ghost.
Although Nagasawa did not direct his Color of Supreme King Haki to Kakashi, the aura he released instilled fear in Kakashi, intimidating him to some extent.
"Since you've come all the way here, why are you in such a hurry to get back? But I don't have anything good on me, so I hope you don't mind with my fist here." Looking at the Shinobi in the black leader, who was ready to run, Nagasawa smiled.
Nagasawa intensified his Color of Supreme King Haki, and the three Chunin instantly fainted. Their leader was completely panicked. He did not care about them and ran away.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The leader used the Body Flicker Technique to quickly get over the tree. He had never seen such a terrifying Shinobi in his life. Being able to actually defeat three Chunin in an instant with his aura alone was simply terrifying.
His Kage in Kusagakure also gave off intense pressure, but it was nothing compared to this kind of pressure.
Even a Shinobi that was in charge of collecting intel was this strong. Did Kusagakure really have so much more to do in order to catch up to the Five Great Shinobi Countries? At this time, the leader of the Shinobi in black was a little disheartened.
After running for a while, the Kusagakure Jonin was a little confused as he didn't see the opponent going after him and couldn't help but look back.
Nagasawa had no intention of chasing after him. He just raised his fist, which was covered in a bubble, and waved it towards him.
Kusagakure Jonin laughed. How could a fist hit him from so far away?
Even if it hit him, he would eat all the medicine pills in his Shinobi backpack on the spot.
However, he immediately noticed that something was off. Why did he hear a cracking sound around him, and he could feel the wind around him?
