Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

The sudden roar took away Kakashi's hearing in an instant, leaving only a continuous buzzing in his ears...

Rapidly passing through the field of vision are the lush forests on both sides.

As the wilderness at the edge of Kirigakure, it is not difficult to understand why there is such a scenery.

But Kakashi's eyes were unfocused, and everything he saw became a meaningless and incomplete image.

The only clear picture remains in my mind.

It was the moment when his feet left the ground that a look of surprise appeared in Ye Cang's eyes, and then the slender figure tumbled backwards almost at the same time as him.

In a trance, Kakashi realized that his body should have stopped.

The buzzing sound in my ears gradually became a sharp monosyllable, and the remaining images in my eyes began to dissipate...

The first thing to recover is the body's perception.

To be more precise, it should be the feeling on the cheek.

The thick raindrops slid across my face, feeling incredibly cold, followed by a burning pain in my body and a numbness that almost penetrated into my bones...

Kakashi groaned and opened his eyes, breathing carefully through his lips.

The chaos in my senses subsided.

Only then did he realize that he was sitting with his head down, leaning against a big tree, and the surroundings were deathly silent, without any sound at all.

The only sound left was the increasingly intense heartbeat.

"Rustle, rustle—"

The rustling sound of footsteps floated into my ears, seeming slow and heavy, as if they were unable to bear the weight and could only drag their steps on the ground.

Kakashi's heart skipped a beat, and he knew who it would be without even having to think.

She...can still move!

Kakashi raised his head with difficulty, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the figure.

Then his eyes trembled, and a hint of horror emerged.

Ye Cang was almost covered in blood.

The black tights were torn into holes of varying sizes, like a piece of tattered cloth barely hanging on the body.

There were still a few scattered brilliant sparks, as if they were nourished by fireworks and reborn from the fire.

Blood oozed from the waist, chest, ribs, thighs and other parts, dyeing the cloth into a gorgeous red like plum stains.

Especially the exposed skin, which was all covered with a layer of blood.

However, even so, the opponent still walked towards this side with a bloody kunai...

Kakashi had no idea how she was able to do this.

But she knew very well that her current condition was not much better than hers.

Perhaps it was due to the energy waves from the fight between the two. Although he had perfect control over Chidori, he was not harmed by it.

But the gust of air from the exchange was enough to blow him away.

At this moment, Kakashi was blocked by the big tree behind him and had to endure the recoil force of his chest.

I simply couldn't muster any strength at all, even trying to move a finger was in vain.

Kakashi watched Ye Cang, holding a bloody kunai, getting closer and closer, feeling unwilling but unable to do anything about it.

It surprised me that......

I'm actually going to die here.

Lin, Obito, I think we will meet soon...

Minato-sensei, I'm sorry.

I didn't even complete the mission this time...

Father, I...

The light suddenly dimmed.

Kakashi raised his head and looked at the bleeding figure in front of him. For a moment, even his heart seemed to skip a beat.

With such injuries, he still managed to remain calm and even move...

He couldn't help but be curious about Sunagakure's execution ability.

Ye Cang stretched out his hand to hold the tree trunk and slowly lowered his body.

Then he knelt and sat on Kakashi's thighs, putting his hands on his shoulders.

The blood from the kunai stuck to his neck, leaving a bloody mark.

Compared to the messy blood-stained body, Kakashi found that the other person's cheeks were still clean and white, no different from before, except that it was extremely abnormally pale, and there was unconcealable fatigue in his eyes.

Kakashi looked at her quietly and was suddenly stunned. He didn't know why the woman in front of him suddenly laughed.

"You are an excellent ninja, and that is why I should eliminate you as a 'threat'.

"This is how a ninja should be. They exist by relying on the ninja village and fight endlessly for the benefit of the village. This is how a ninja should exist...

"If ninjas don't exist for this purpose, they will be stripped of their identity as 'ninjas'..."

Ye Cang said this with a smile, and there was a hint of sadness in his words.

The churning feeling of recoil in my lungs has gradually begun to subside.

But for some reason, Kakashi still felt an inexplicable stuffiness in his chest.

His intuition told him that there must be something that didn't make sense in what the other person said.

Ye Cang lowered his eyes slightly and murmured: "You know what? Once we lose our identity as ninjas, we are not even the walking dead..."

"No, that's not right. It shouldn't be like this..."

"Don't talk!"

Kakashi was about to say this when he was interrupted by a snort.

Ye Cang glared at him fiercely, then pursed his lips and said:

"I know, I know it's wrong, you don't need to teach me."

These words seemed to be a sign of submission, but one could not hear the tone of submission in them.

“Perhaps only at the last moment of life can a person truly see himself clearly.”

"I actually regretted everything I had done. Looking back, I realized that I had accomplished nothing and was left with a bad past..."

Kakashi was speechless for a moment, feeling that the woman in front of him was extremely pessimistic.

Where is the arrogant and proud look from before?

"Let's get out of here first, we still..."

"Hatake Kakashi."

Ye Cang suddenly grabbed Kakashi's shoulders and stared straight into his eyes. The heat in his eyes was difficult to look at for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I lied to you about one thing..."

What's up......

Seeing the other person's serious expression, Kakashi asked subconsciously.

Ye Cang slightly raised his lips.

"I actually..."

Kakashi's eyes were fixed on the two delicate lips.

But the next moment his eyes became fierce.

The sharpness of his senses had long been restored. As the piercing whistling sound fell into his ears, Kakashi suddenly turned his body to the side and fell to the side.

Ye Cang, who had his hands on his shoulders, also leaned to the side because of this.

The woman in his sight now had her eyes closed and was unconscious.

She was already at the end of her strength, and Kakashi was not surprised by this.

But the three shurikens that pierced the tree trunk told him that the current crisis did not allow him to slack off!

Should have expected this!

Kakashi secretly hated it.

The noise he made when he fought with Ye Cang before was definitely quite loud.

Especially since this is in Kirigakure, under the influence of Ye Cang's Shokutun, an area with clear vision is enough to attract attention.

Even if the small fish that had ambushed us earlier failed to find us, such a big noise should have alerted others.

Although he was blown away by the previous gust of air, he was some distance away from the center of the previous battle.

But it doesn't take too much time to find this place.

Kakashi supported himself with one hand and stood up quickly, enduring the pain.

The physical fatigue still exists, but facing the enemy has aroused a certain sense of excitement, which is subconsciously ignored by the brain.

Two figures appeared in front of him, one on the left and one on the right.

The person who came was undoubtedly a ninja from Kirigakure.

But the other person was wearing a strange white mask on his face...

The Anbu of Kirigakure!
