Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

Even though they were quite a distance away from Konoha, the sky was still gloomy.

Two figures stood in the narrow canyon, blocking the way ahead.

"Hatake Kakashi, you finally came."

A hoarse voice came, and Kakashi's heart moved.

Orochimaru...

Does he know I'm still alive?

Not only that, these two people didn't even think about escaping, otherwise he would never have caught up with them like this.

It was obvious that he was waiting for me.

trap?

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Kakashi."

Hearing the dull sound coming from the crawling figure, Kakashi knew that Scorpion's real body was hiding inside.

The end of the words suddenly changed to an emphasis.

The metallic scorpion tail can be extended and retracted freely, whistling in the wind, drawing an arc and swinging towards you instantly!

As soon as they met, Kakashi was already on guard, so he took a step back and pushed away the forehead protector.

The Sharingan moved at high speed, and when he saw the gap in the attack, he raised his hand and used Raikiri, aiming at the joint and cutting it directly with a "clang".

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would probably have thought it was the sound of metal weapons colliding.

The broken scorpion tail flipped in the air for a while, then fell heavily to the ground.

This kind of artifact carefully refined by the puppet master can be regarded as a "magic weapon" in the eyes of everyone, but in front of Raikiri today, it is nothing but paper.

But Kakashi knew that this move was just a test...

"Sure enough."

There was a whisper, as if it was expected.

A hole appeared on the top of "Fei Liuhu", and a red-haired figure "floated" out.

——The true form of the scorpion.

Even without relying on the information from his 'memory', Kakashi was able to roughly figure out information about Scorpion based on the experience of their last fight.

His true essence lies in that core...

"I'm not in the habit of keeping people waiting, Orochimaru."

Instead of choosing to attack immediately, the puppet turned his head stiffly and looked around.

"Don't worry, I understand."

He responded indifferently, and Orochimaru glanced over with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Then he turned around, and his body transformed into small snakes that scattered in all directions and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Kakashi's eyes turned cold.

Orochimaru!

I have a feeling that he must know something...

'boom--! ’

Just as he was about to dodge and catch up, as if he had expected it, the broken metal scorpion tail on the "Fei Liuhu" extended and attacked ahead of time.

It blocked the entire canyon in one fell swoop and embedded itself directly into the cliff beside it!

Knowing that he couldn't be hurt, the purpose was just to block his way.

"Hatake Kakashi, I didn't say I could let you go."

A voice came from a distance.

"You will become my immortal work of art..."

The shirtless red-haired puppet, with the mechanism on his chest exposed, floated up on ropes.

He flipped his hand and swung out the scroll, and hundreds of red-clothed puppets appeared, making the sky even gloomier.

"Hundred Machines Exercise"!

This move is the only one that exists in his "memory" and was not used in the last fight.

It is estimated that Scorpion at that time probably had not yet created so many puppets.

A large number of black puppets came one after another, all of them had two cold swords drawn from their sleeves.

"Keng——!"

His weapon is poisoned...

Once it's rubbed, it's over.

Kakashi was secretly alert and stopped using Raikiri. Instead, he twisted his wrist and used the famous sword Kurosawa to chop him down.
