A certain scientific Naruto

Kakashi also squatted opposite Hagoromo. After thinking for a while, he added: "Considering that we have already met Loquat Juuzang, is there anyone else among Kirigakure's seven Ninja Swordsmen here... Very It is doubtful that even if this were not the case, there would probably be ninjas of the same level, which would explain why the Hyuga team could not even escape."

Objectively speaking, Kakashi's judgment is quite reasonable, and Hagoromo nodded in approval.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are one of the most elite groups in Kirigakure. If they act collectively, it is very possible to kill Konoha's elite team.

In other words, the next main opponent is the elite jounin.

"Anyway, we will enter the Kingdom of Whirlpool next. Considering the strength of the enemy, we will try not to scatter."

If Hagoromo and Kakashi work together, it will be more efficient.

But things don't always go exactly as they want.

"Kushina's hometown?"

Hagoromo murmured to himself, thinking that this small destroyed country was related to Kushina, he still felt a little inexplicable.

"ah?"

Kakashi obviously didn't hear clearly what Hagoromo was saying, he thought he was talking about the mission.

"Nothing, just check it out and then we'll go."

There is nothing to check, the two of them can leave immediately, but...

"Are you still carrying this thing?"

Hagoromo pointed at the decapitating sword held by Kakashi. Using this kind of ninja requires special skills, right? How could Kakashi master it so quickly?

According to Hagoromo's idea, just throw this thing into the sea. Is there any point in carrying it?

But Kakashi didn't bring this thing for some combat purposes.

The young Kakashi also had some whimsical moments. He said, "Do you think, if we collect all seven weapons, can we get the Byakugan back under special circumstances?"

Fortunately, he didn't ask if he could summon Shenron, so Hagoromo resisted the urge to complain.

"No," Hagoromo said clearly, "Either we get the Byakugan back, or the other party gets the Ninja Sword back, and the exchange is certainly not within the scope of both of our thoughts."

And he met seven people in a row? Forget it, even if it is a wheel battle one by one, it is very difficult to collect all the ninja tools.

What's more, what if the other party is really a group of people?

"Indeed..." Kakashi also figured it out instantly, but for some unknown reason, he still didn't throw away the decapitating sword.

In the early morning, Hagoromo and the others entered the old Uzumaki Country, which was now an uninhabited country.

This is indeed a small island, but what can I say? If one hundred thousand people were crammed into this island, it would indeed seem a bit small, but if ten people were hidden here, it would be really difficult to find them.

If the Hyuga clan's Byakugan can work, then it shouldn't be difficult to search. However, due to the existence of some kind of barrier or range that interferes with ninjutsu, the scope of the Byakugan's effect is limited, so it can only rely on raw manpower. Let's search... Anyway, it's really difficult.

And maybe, the enemy has left with Byakugan in a special way at this time, such as swimming twenty thousand miles under the sea.

On the first day after entering the island, the Hagoromo team found nothing. They encountered no enemies, but they encountered Konoha's own people twice.

On the next day, in an abandoned village, the two met their second enemy.

There is a third enemy.

Another enemy who walked out very proactively, this one... Let's not talk about whether he was quite confident in his own strength. He was willing to walk out mainly because Kakashi brought a bait to attract him.

From a psychological analysis, these individuals are fetishists, and a knife makes them unable to extricate themselves.

"That big sword... since it is in your hands, it means that senior Loquat Juuzang has died in your hands, so according to the rules, it should be inherited by me at this time."

The enemy who came out was obviously similar in age to Kakashi, but when he spoke, he sounded a bit old-fashioned.

While speaking, his eyes were fixed on the beheading sword in Kakashi's hand... Although he had already guessed the fact that Loquat Juzo had rushed to the street, and he was obviously a ninja from the same village, he did not feel sad for it. , but seemed a little happy and getting what he wanted.

Kakashi didn't answer, and of course he wouldn't be so kind as to return this thing to the other party.

He also did not intend to fight with this broadsword whose entire length was taller than his current height.

He thrust the decapitating knife into the ground at his feet, then reached out and pulled out the short knife that he had been carrying on his back. The meaning is very clear, if you want a beheading sword, just come and get it yourself.

Although Hagoromo was still standing by Kakashi's side at this time, he had no time to fight with him. Regardless of whether he trusted Kakashi or not, he could only choose to trust him at this time.

"Kakashi, are you okay with dealing with this brat by yourself?"

Kakashi nodded and said, "No problem."

"Well, it seems we have to split up and fight separately for the time being..."

This is not an equal showdown that Yuromo is pursuing, but that he needs to deal with a more conspicuous big guy.

He took a deep breath and walked in the direction of the village opposite Kakashi.

"Did you really find me?"

Before Yuyi could get closer, a voice could be heard.

The battle not far behind him had already begun, but Yuyi did not turn around to look. He stared at the face of the person who had just appeared. After a while, he said, "Why do I think you look familiar?" .”

The other party was very frank and directly stated his identity.

"My name...you can call me Lao Zi."

really……

"Why do people from Iwagakure appear here?"

There was one sentence left that he didn't say: let alone a jinchuriki.

"Nature has the right reasons."

It's like nothing was said.

"In this situation, it seems that there is no need for us to fight?" Hagoromo said tentatively. Fighting with Iwagakure's Jinchuuriki would not be beneficial to the mission. Instead, it would be an unnecessary waste of combat power, so it would be best if we could temporarily live in peace.

What is the reason for Iwagakure's jinchūriki to appear here? Is it related to Kirigakure's actions? This is difficult to determine based on mere guesswork.

But judging from Lao Zi's attitude, it seemed that he was hostile to Konoha ninjas.

"In the current situation, when Iwagakure and the ninjas of Konoha meet, they will not have the option of living in peace."

"Besides, not only do you think I look familiar, I probably also know your identity... Konoha's 'White Yasha'?"

The other party actually revealed his identity? The expression behind Hagoromo's mask changed slightly.

Could it be that Iwagakure was carrying out some targeted action without resorting to jinchūriki?

War seemed inevitable.

"I didn't expect that the Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki would have heard of my name. It's such an honor."

Exposing one's identity probably also means exposing one's abilities, which is naturally detrimental to combat.

Honored? Hagoromo would be a ghost if he was really honored.
