Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

Being plotted!

Kakashi frowned slightly.

This person...

Maybe he even has some idea of ​​his own offensive methods!

There were scattered footsteps coming from behind.

"What on earth are you going to do..."

Kakashi turned around and looked at the man named 'Scorpion'.

The other party must have some ulterior motive if he intercepts me here.

The puppeteer's identity obviously could not be a ninja from Kumogakure.

But apart from the Hidden Cloud Village which is currently at war with Konoha, why would other villages need to attack the Konoha ninjas?

"If I say your father killed my parents during World War II...

"Is this a more reasonable reason?" Scorpion said with a sneer.

Father he...

Kill the parents of the person in front of you?

Kakashi looked stunned.

Hatred has always been the root cause of conflict.

In this case, it is very reasonable for the other party to take action for this.

“That has nothing to do with it though.

“I told you, I’m here for your body…

"I will make you into a human puppet like the two over there, and make you my eternal and immortal work of art!"

Human puppet!

Kakashi narrowed his eyes and subconsciously looked at the two puppets on the other side.

'Human Puppet' is a forbidden technique of the Sand Village, and Chiyo once mentioned this vaguely.

And this person actually...

I saw the other party approaching step by step.

Kakashi's mind sank.

Regardless of whether the other party's purpose is revenge, or the so-called turning himself into a "human puppet".

The hostility between the two is inevitable.

Then there is no possibility that I will just sit there and wait for death...

"It's useless, haven't you noticed yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a tightness in his chest.

The Chakra that was secretly refined suddenly dispersed, and the numbness instantly spread throughout the body...

It was just now!

Kakashi looked down at his ankles.

An arc-shaped line of blood slowly flowed down.

He pulled off his own chain, which looked like a scorpion's tail. It was not only sharp, but also extremely poisonous!

Think about it carefully.

Able to notice the poison on the puppet's blade...

With the same style, there is naturally no need for the other party to "lose one thing while focusing on the other".

All instruments are infused with poison, which is a necessary means.

Fighting against such a person...

A little carelessness may cost you your life!

As soon as this thought came to my mind, the numbness in my body suddenly became stronger.

Until my mind becomes dizzy...

“How stupid!

"Since I am here, I will be able to control the poison in your body."

Looking at the young man who was half-kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily.

Scorpion approached slowly, with a subtle curve at the corner of his mouth.

Ah......

It was worth all my trouble!

With this guy's skills, it's worth going through all this trouble.

Even for the sake of caution.

Fei Liuhu, who was buried on the ground, did not attack immediately in order to prevent the opponent from having the possibility of dodge given his reaction and skills!

With such a weak body, not hiding in the Feiliu Amber was a desperate move.

"Be happy,

"I will make you into a nice collection..."

-----------------

Make it into a collectible?

What a bad taste!

Kakashi raised his head with difficulty, letting the sweat streak across his eyes.

But my body is no longer able to use strength...

The toxicity of the wound is not just a paralyzing effect, it is actually gradually depriving you of your sense of control over your body.

"Whoosh! ——"

Seeing the huge "scorpion tail" roaring towards them.

Kakashi's eyes became even calmer.

The opponent is able to distract himself and manipulate two puppets at the same time, and they cooperate with each other seamlessly.

The sharp long sword, the flexible scorpion tail, and the poison quenched on the weapon...

But the advantage of taking the initiative in advance has obviously been eliminated.

Now that the other party has shown up, there is a high probability that he will not have any other backup plans...

At the moment when my mind was in turmoil, the 'Scorpion Tail' had already landed in front of me!

Kakashi slowly closed his eyes.

"Knock, knock, knock! --"

A cold wind blew past, but the expected attack did not come.

Instead, several continuous crisp sounds reached my ears...

This was followed by a rich tone.

"Akatsuki from the Hidden Rain Village? This is the Hidden Rain Village, we won't tolerate you running wild!"

This voice is...

Kakashi's heart moved and he opened his eyes.

There were several kunai scattered on the ground.

In front, the 'scorpion tail' surrounding the body slowly withdrew, revealing the handsome face protected within.

"who?"

A pair of eyes looked at him coldly.

Be more precise.

It should be behind me...

Kakashi glanced back subconsciously.

It's him?

The man standing behind him, with red hair and a big red beard, was none other than the old man who had asked questions when he went up the mountain earlier!

Throwing the bamboo basket on his back to the ground, the old man walked forward slowly.

"You guys from the Hidden Rain Village, you are not welcome here..."

"Ha! Iwagakure has made many plans to cooperate with Akatsuki.

"But, since you said so."

Scorpion smiled faintly and shrugged nonchalantly, but the next moment a fierce look suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Then I'll just have to deal with you first!"

The huge 'scorpion tail' attacked again.

The target was not himself, but the old man behind him!

"Senior, be careful, the weapon is poisonous!"

It seems that the opponent does not dodge or evade, and acts as if he is going to take the attack with his body.

Kakashi took a deep breath and reminded in a muffled voice.

Once a wound is caused, defeat is almost certain!

however.

The old man looked at him and nodded slightly.

Kakashi naively thought that the other party took his words to heart.

Until I saw the old man raise his right hand and use his arm guard to block the attack...

A bright red bloodstain appeared between his sleeves.

Kakashi's face froze and he stared at the other person blankly.

This old man might be rebellious...

How can you be so ungrateful?

Remind you that you are poisonous.

Still insisting on holding on?

"Oh! Idiot!

"I thought it would take some effort, but I didn't expect that he would come here in a hurry to die."

Scorpion sneered and said, retracting the "scorpion tail" on Fei Liuhu, with a bit of contempt in his eyes.

He was able to recognize his identity as a member of the Akatsuki, yet still had the courage to come up and give it a try.

The most plausible explanation...

The other party will be a difficult character.

However, this response is really disappointing!

It seems that he is an old fool who is "mysteriously confident" in himself?

It’s a pity that this kind of body would be difficult to maintain if made into a puppet.

Looking at the old man's still indifferent expression, Scorpion sneered and shook his head.

The refined poison will not kill people immediately, but it can definitely quickly deprive people of their ability to fight!

It worked quickly, let's see how arrogant you can be...

The arm was still horizontally placed in front, but Scorpion soon noticed it.

A blood-red film appeared on the arm with blood stains.

The black poisonous blood was like a living thing, being discharged from the body strand by strand!

This is......

Scorpion narrowed his eyes slightly, and then curled his lips unconsciously.

That's it!

No wonder the other party relied on his body to withstand the attack.

Should I say I am lucky or unlucky?

"I will come and get that guy's body when the time comes."

After leaving these words behind, the man in red cloud and black robe named 'Scorpion' turned and left...

gone?

Kakashi looked up in surprise.

Just then, the old man turned around and shook his arms, and a pool of black blood fell to the ground along with the deep red chakra film.

“He wouldn’t want to touch me, toxicity doesn’t have much effect on me.

"And this is the Iwagakure territory. If the battle drags on, it will only get worse for him."

As he was talking, the wound on his wrist had healed as before...

Kakashi's pupils shrank.

Such self-healing ability is terrifying!

"Konoha's ninja, you..."

The old man stared at the wound on Kakashi's ankle, then leaned over, frowned, and said in a measured tone:

"I am well versed in the medicinal properties of the herbs in the wilds. Perhaps I can help you remove the poison."

"No... please don't worry about this, Senior."

Kakashi looked suspicious.

Although this old man just saved me, but...

why?

Are you even planning to recuperate from your injuries?

Once you look into it in detail, these things are simply unjustifiable.

The relationship between Iwagakure and Konoha is tense. When the other party sees his Konoha forehead protector, he should not help him anyway...

The possibility of being an accomplice of "Scorpion" cannot be ruled out!

Being wary of anyone you don't know is the most basic quality of a ninja.

Seeing the look in Kakashi's eyes, the old man said in a deep voice:

"I didn't mean any harm."

"No, senpai. What I mean is, senpai, you may need to stay away from me."

Kakashi said with a weird look on his face.

As if sensing the caution in these words, the old man's face darkened and he grabbed the other's arm and hooked it around his shoulder.

This young man in front of me.

You are too wary!

犟！

Regardless of the occasion!

If I really wanted to do something bad to you, what could I do in your current state?

I hate these incompetent yet self-righteous young people the most!

Don't listen to the old man...

The old man snorted coldly.

"If I wanted to harm you, there would be no reason for me to save you for no reason!"

"Senior, I appreciate your kindness, but..."

"Noisy!"

Not wanting to turn around and scold, the old man carried the boy's shoulders and stood up straight.

“Come back to my place, I may be able to help you get rid of this poison.

"You can go wherever you want when the time comes. I'm too lazy... ugh!"

A strong feeling of numbness instantly spread throughout the body, and at the same time the weight on the shoulders disappeared.

The old man staggered and fell to the ground.

Not long after, a figure suddenly appeared on the edge of the cliff.

It's Hatake Kakashi!

"Senior...I have warned you."

Kakashi rubbed his forehead and said helplessly.

It seems that the other party really wants to help me, although I don’t know why...

But at the moment when the smoke and dust were raised during the initial attack, he had already used his thunder clone to replace his original body!

Yes.

Thunder clone!

Use clones to gather intelligence and then come up with countermeasures based on the situation.

This has always been Kakashi's fighting style.

Since there is such a gap and there is an ample amount of chakra, there is naturally no reason not to do so.

So after Lei's clone could no longer be maintained and the memory returned to his mind.

Kakashi quickly climbed up the cliff and saw an old man lying on the ground with a charred face and spewing out thick smoke...

"Senior, where is your residence? I will help you back first."

-----------------

A dilapidated wooden house, a bright bonfire, and two figures, one old and one young, sitting there.

Looking at the old man's somewhat gloomy face.

Kakashi didn't even have to think about it.

It must be because I accidentally tricked myself...

In fact, I can't blame myself for this.

Given the situation at that time, the one who was about to be "set" by him would most likely be the "Red Sand Scorpion".

Glancing at the eyes reflecting the firelight, Kakashi couldn't tell what they were thinking.

Helping others...

Instead, it backfired and ended up making a fool of itself!

But after all, it can be seen that the other party does have good intentions.

So after hesitating for a long time, Kakashi spoke first, breaking the strange atmosphere.

"Ahem, Senior, your chances of winning should be pretty good, why don't you plan to keep him here?"

Not afraid of poison, and that strange chakra can quickly heal injuries on the surface of the body...

With these two points alone, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with the man called 'Scorpion'.

The one in front of me is a ninja, and he is undoubtedly powerful!

The old man shook his head and said slowly:

"Because I'm not sure I can defeat him... Akatsuki's 'Red Sand Scorpion'."
