Naruto hodgepodge

In front of the Konoha gate, the ninja team was assembled. Captain Kai, wearing a green vest and with thick eyebrows and big eyes, shouted briefly and powerfully: "So everyone, let's set off with the burning flame of youth!" Then, he made an exaggerated fist gesture with his big teeth flashing white light, and then took big strides and ran forward quickly.

The Chunin Shiranui Genma and Beizu Lei were both caught off guard by Kai's sudden action. After looking at each other, they quickly adjusted their state and shouted, "Wait a minute, Captain!" Then they accelerated and followed closely behind.

The older Geninmaru Seikosuke looked at his teammates running in front of him, shook his head slightly, and said to himself: "I can't be young at my age." As he said that, he slowly moved forward with a more steady pace.

At this time, on the wall of Konoha, Captain Kakashi stood side by side with Itachi wearing an Anbu mask. Itachi whispered to Kakashi to confirm: "They know nothing about the specific content of this mission?" Kakashi nodded and replied: "Indeed, only the top leaders of Konoha and us ninjas who are directly involved in the mission know the details."

After saying that, Kakashi quickly put on his mask and performed some skills with Itachi. In a flash, he disappeared on the city wall like two bolts of lightning, leaving only a faint afterimage.

Deep in the dense forest, the ninja team chose a secluded place to stop and camp. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the treetops, and under the tree, Gu Jie took off the pot on his back and cooked a delicious hot pot for several people.

Might Guy chewed his food with big mouthfuls while gratefully saying to Maruboshi Kosuke beside him: "It's great to have an old partner like Kosuke-senpai by my side when I'm traveling far away." Kosuke smiled, holding a tray, and from time to time he added hot meals to the three of them, and gently replied: "If it's not enough, there's more, everyone feel free to enjoy it."

Kai encouraged his teammates while eating: "Everyone eat more and replenish your physical strength and chakra. Only when we are well fed and well-drinking can we meet the next challenge in the best condition."

Shiranui Jianxuan frowned slightly and reminded softly: "Captain, although this is very comfortable, the bonfire is burning so vigorously that our position may have been exposed." Bingzu Leitong also echoed: "Yes, what if the enemy attacks us?"

Kai put down the cutlery in his hand and smiled confidently, "If there really is an enemy attacking, that would be just what we want. After all, our mission is probably to find out whether the other side is an enemy or not."

At this moment, two figures were quietly watching all this from the treetops not far away. Uchiha Itachi and Hatake Kakashi were standing on the tree, carrying out their unique surveillance mission. Itachi said softly to Kakashi beside him, "I never expected that the captain, although he didn't know much about the specific content of the mission, had already keenly perceived the essence of the mission."

Kakashi took off his mask, took a deep breath of the aroma of food in the air, and couldn't help feeling a little greedy: "Come to think of it, this smell is really nostalgic. Let's replenish our supplies as well." As he spoke, he took out a soldier's ration pill from his arms and had a simple supply with Itachi.

"In a way, you are really suitable for the work of Anbu."

"What?"

Kakashi said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "They are enjoying the hot pot leisurely in the sun, while we can only hide in the dark and gnaw on dry soldiers' ration balls."

Itachi stared at Kakashi, his tone sincere and firm: It's okay, I know the nature of the Anbu very well.

Seeing this, Kakashi's initial interest in teasing seemed to be interrupted by Itachi, and he lost interest in the conversation and responded nonchalantly: Is that so? It seems you are really a natural ninja.

......

Under the majestic and spectacular cliffs shrouded in clouds and mist, the sun barely penetrated the dense treetops and sprinkled in front of a hidden cave. The four-member team of Konoha Village stood at the entrance of the cave with upright postures and resolute eyes. The leader, Might Guy, stared at the four figures slowly walking out of the dark cave with his iconic passion and indomitable spirit. Their faces were covered by exquisite masks, revealing only a pair of eyes flashing with cunning light.

"Is it the Prajnaparamita from the Kingdom of Lin?" Kai's voice was low.

The reply came from a masked man, whose voice was so delicate that it could almost be considered a woman's, but with a barely perceptible chill: "Yes, Konoha's ninja, hand over the scroll quickly. This is the deal we agreed upon, isn't it?"

Kai frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure: "A transaction requires sincerity from both parties. The scroll is here, where is yours?" As he spoke, he slowly took out an ancient scroll from the backpack on his back, clenched his hands, and glanced at the other four people vigilantly.

The Prajna people chuckled, as if they didn't care about Kai's vigilance, and stretched out their hands to signal for an exchange. Kai took a deep breath and slowly handed over the scroll, but the vigilance in his eyes did not relax at all.

At the moment when the two sides were about to touch, Prajna suddenly flashed and the scrolls in their hands were quickly exchanged. However, Kai's intuition told him that this was not a simple exchange. "Despicable!" Kai shouted angrily, and his body suddenly jumped up. He exerted force and kicked the scroll he had just received high up into the sky. Sure enough, the scroll suddenly burst into dazzling flames in the air, accompanied by a deafening explosion. A thick cloud of black smoke quickly spread and covered half of the sky.

Kai stared at Prajna and the others with an angry look: "What should be exchanged is honesty and peace, not your tricks and betrayal!"

Seeing this, the Prajna clan and their subordinates retreated one after another, but with a playful smile on their faces, as if all this was expected. "Konoha violated our agreement and took the lead in attacking. We must take retaliatory actions." The voice of the Prajna clan seemed unclear behind the mask, but it was full of provocation.

Kai was furious, pointing his finger at the four people, his voice trembling with anger: "How shameless! You are the ones who actually broke the agreement!"

Xuanjian and Leitong looked at each other, and the tension in each other's eyes became even more intense. They turned to Captain Kai at the same time, trying to find some guidance or comfort from him.

Kai's eyes were sharp as a torch as he questioned the enemy in front of him: "From the beginning, did you intend to betray our trust?"

Just when the atmosphere was tense and about to collapse, two figures landed steadily in the center of the battlefield. They were two elite ninjas from Konoha - Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi, wearing cat and dog masks.

Itachi's voice was calm and firm: "Leave the rest of the battle to us." Kakashi responded briefly and forcefully: "You guys, run away."

Xuanjian and Lei Tong looked at each other, wondering: reinforcements?

At this time, the four masked men were agile and quickly jumped to the top of the cliff. Their movements were tacit and unified. The moment they gained a foothold, the four of them shouted at the same time, and quickly formed seals with their hands. Faint chakra light jumped on their fingertips, which was a sign that the ninjutsu was about to explode.

"Earth escape: rock collapse!" The four of them chanted in unison. As the ninjutsu was activated, the ground seemed to respond to their call and began to tremble violently. Strong earth elemental energy surged out from deep underground, gathering into an unstoppable torrent. Then, on the cliff, huge rocks seemed to be thrown out by invisible giant hands. They drew hideous tracks in the air and rushed towards the Konoha team below with a deafening roar. These rocks were of different sizes. The smallest was as thick as several people hugging, and the largest was even comparable to a small mountain. They collided with each other in the air, splashing countless gravel and dust, forming a rock storm that covered the sky. The Konoha team members below had to do their best.

Kai agreed with Kakashi's escape and gave the team the order to flee. Xuanjian and Leitong exchanged a quick glance and nodded, then together with Kosuke, took advantage of the chaos caused by the rockfall to dodge swiftly and retreat to a safe area.

Facing the fierce rockfall, Kakashi calmly formed a seal: "Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!" Instantly, a huge earth wall inlaid with a strange dog head pattern rose from the ground, like a solid shield, blocking the rolling rocks one by one, protecting the team members below from harm. Smoke and dust rose up, blurring the vision, but also gave the Prajna group and the masked people an illusion that the Konoha team had been destroyed in this sudden disaster.

However, when the smoke gradually dissipated, revealing the intact figures of the Konoha ninjas, the smiles of the masked men froze instantly.

Kai gave orders again: "You, continue to retreat." Xuanjian, Lei Tong, Gu Jie and others did not hesitate at all, and quickly followed the order and retreated to a safe distance.

At this time, Uchiha Itachi turned his gaze to Kakashi who was standing beside him: "I heard that Captain, in order to complete the mission, you are willing to sacrifice even your companions?"

Kakashi tilted his head slightly when he heard this, and then answered firmly: "I will never let my companions die in front of me. Someone once entrusted me with this belief and a Sharingan."

The Prajna clan found that the Konoha team was intact and used Ninjutsu again with their subordinates: Earth escape - rock collapse, and then there was another earthquake and rocks rolled down towards them.

Kakashi said to Kai: "You should run away too"

Kai: "We are still on a mission, how can we escape?"

After Kai finished speaking, he resolutely opened the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu: the fifth gate - Open, his whole body was wrapped in green chakra light, like a violent beast, and then he jumped down the rocks and rushed towards the cliff.

Itachi looked at Kai's figure and said in surprise: Just using physical skills...

Kakashi: I'll sigh later.

Kakashi and Itachi tacitly avoided the rocks that directly hit them and each used their special skills.

Kai rushed out from the smoke and knocked down several ninjas from the Forest Kingdom like a green beast.

The smoke cleared, and Kakashi and Kai rushed out. Kakashi's Chidori flashed with dazzling lightning, and accurately hit a Forest Country ninja;

Itachi used the clone jutsu to cleverly set a trap and successfully intercepted the masked man who was trying to escape.

Itachi fired six shurikens in succession, accurately knocking down the two companions of the masked leader, Hannya, leaving Hannya alone and helpless. Kakashi's Chidori was even more merciless, piercing Hannya's heart and killing him. As the mask fell off, a beautiful face was revealed, and Kakashi took out the crucial scroll from her chest.

As Kai defeated the last Forest Country Ninja, the battle ended, and Kaka slowly walked over and handed it to Kai.

Kakashi said to Kai coldly: "Your mission has been completed. Now you can return to the village with peace of mind."

Kai took the scroll, his eyes wandering between the scroll and Kakashi, his eyes flashing with complex emotions - there is relief after completing the mission, but also helplessness and reflection on the war. Just as he was about to speak, an ominous premonition suddenly surged into his heart.

At this moment, a cold figure broke into their sight - Uchiha Itachi, the long sword in his hand was ruthlessly piercing the chest of a Forest Country ninja, even though the opponent was powerless to resist and the fire of life was extinguished. This scene pierced Kai's heart like ice.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Kai couldn't help but exclaimed, his voice full of disbelief and anger. Itachi didn't respond immediately, but calmly drew out his long sword, letting the blood slowly drip along the blade, leaving mottled marks on the dry sand.

"This is the mission we have accepted and a mission that must be completed." Itachi's voice revealed unquestionable determination.

Kai turned to look at Kakashi, his eyes full of help and confusion: "That's not possible... Stop it, Kakashi!" He tried to get an answer from Kakashi, hoping that Captain Kakashi could stop this senseless killing.

However, Kakashi just tilted his head slightly, and his expression under the mask could not be seen, but his tone was as cold as a devil: "How can you call out the name of the Anbu who is on a mission?"

Itachi completed the final cleanup work and after confirming that no enemy was spared, he reported to Kakashi: "Captain, there is no problem, all enemies have been eliminated." There was no trace of emotion in his tone, everything was just a routine.

Kai stood there, sweat and cold sweat intertwined, making him feel unprecedented powerlessness and confusion. His former companion Kakashi had already fallen into darkness. There is no absolute justice or evil in war, only positions and choices. The wind and sand suddenly rose, and the whistling sound seemed to tell the vicissitudes and ruthlessness of this land.
