Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

"We'll be out of the Mist for a while longer."

Seeing the increasingly thin fog ahead, Kakashi said thoughtfully.

The Hidden Mist Village is filled with natural mist, and the mist becomes thinner as it gets closer to the outside.

Obviously, this is a sign of getting out of the Hidden Mist soon.

It would indeed be relatively troublesome if we didn't go through the main gate, Kakashi thought.

After all, this wasn't like Konoha, where there was little difference between going through the main gate and climbing over the wall.

The only accessible entrance to the Hidden Mist Village is the main gate...

I felt a cool sensation at the back of my neck.

As if he suddenly realized something, Kakashi added in a low voice.

"Yeah, Ye Cang... sis."

After enduring endless nagging along the way, Kakashi finally compromised.

He never thought that someone would care so much about a title!

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and call out this awkward title...

The Ye Cang in front of him is probably the first person!

"Call me 'sister'~, Kakashi. I might be happier this way..."

That’s enough!

Am I here to amuse you?

Kakashi curled the corners of his mouth and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

It was hard to imagine why on earth Minato-sensei wanted this person to follow him back to Konoha.

Just as he was about to retort, Kakashi narrowed his eyes and noticed something strange.

The mist seemed...

It got thicker again?

This is not good!

The direction of the two people did not deviate from the beginning to the end, so the possibility of going back to Kirigakure was extremely low.

Unless someone secretly acted and induced the two people to go in the wrong direction.

But the Sharingan, which can see through illusions, is not just for show.

So......

"Sister Yecang, the fog seems to have become even heavier."

The expected teasing response did not come.

Kakashi stopped abruptly and glanced at the empty space next to him.

With an idea in his mind, he silently drew out the kunai.

There is a dangerous smell in the air...

Ordinary mist cannot block the Sharingan, Kakashi is well aware of this.

Someone is coming...

"This is the Mist Hiding Technique, it's just a little trick, but for someone like you who relies on your eyes,

"It will be particularly useful."

A deep voice came.

It can be heard that there is a hint of childishness in the words, which is obviously the effect of deliberately lowering the voice. It can be seen that the person who comes is actually not very old.

"who?"

"The one who took your life!"

Along with this roar, a faint cold light quickly approached in the fog!

‘Keng——’

Kakashi was quick-witted and quick-handed. He raised his hand slightly and held the kunai steadily in front of him.

A cold wind suddenly blew up from between the two men, blowing away the thick fog that obscured their vision.

At the same time, a strange face wrapped in bandages and with fierce eyes appeared in the field of vision...

Kakashi's eyes narrowed.

His memory was not bad to begin with, not to mention that he had already taken note of it.

This face...

It was undoubtedly the one I saw earlier on the list of people who would be participating in the next Chunin Exam in Kirigakure...

It's him!

Feeling the force on his wrist working against his own, Kakashi did not dare to be negligent.

He knew that the other person was two years younger than him, but his strength was just as strong as his own!

He wasn't even given the qualification of a Genin, what a waste!

Just as the thought flashed through his mind, the two kunai that were stuck on his wrists made a clang and separated at the touch.

The figure also disappeared in the fog...

Hidden in the invisible!

Kakashi's breath sank and he looked around warily.

The opponent has almost taken the upper hand in the field created by the 'Mist Hiding Technique'.

It is not difficult to understand that after the attack failed, he retreated at the cost of his life.

If I were in his place, I would also choose to avoid direct combat as much as possible, and hide in the dark, ready to strike.

Try to kill with one hit!

If Kakashi could think of this, how could Zabuza, who used this as a means to defeat his enemy, not know this?

This is a smart strategy that works!

It's also due to the nature of a killer!

And it was obvious that Kakashi was really helpless about this.

I was restrained...

After all, he was walking in this fog, and he had been carelessly showing his Sharingan.

It would be strange if the visitor came unprepared!

Just as Kakashi thought.

Zabuza made hand seals and stood not far away in the fog with his eyes closed.

This thick fog pervaded his perception.

There is no need for eyes to provide vision, Kakashi's existence is as eye-catching as a lighthouse guiding ships on the moonlit sea!

He flipped his hands, and several shurikens were pinched between his fingers...

This is a troublesome character!

Most people would have been beheaded by that previous attack, but he reacted extremely quickly and blocked it.

As expected, it's the Sharingan Kakashi!

This ability is really outstanding.

"Momochi Zabuza, huh? I know you..."

A bland voice came from a distance, which sounded more like the tone of casual chatting between friends.

Hearing this, Zabuza slowly opened his eyes and stared at the figure in the fog.

With a cold snort, the several shurikens between his fingers bounced away instantly.

"I've heard a lot about Konoha's Sharingan Kakashi...

"I am a nobody, and I feel honored to be remembered by you."

'Whoosh—'

There was a sharp murderous intent hidden in the dull voice!

Kakashi was never one to be distracted by speaking when facing an enemy.

He parried several incoming shurikens and said seriously:

"No, it won't be long before you are no longer a 'nobody'."

This is not a compliment.

Kakashi could tell just from this brief fight.

The opponent's strength should at least be able to rank among Konoha's special jonin!

Kakashi held his breath and concentrated, his eyes becoming increasingly calm.

The field of vision is limited to a few feet around the body. Compared with normal days, it is even more difficult to respond to the enemy's attack...

If we don't break this passive situation, we will just let the other party do whatever they want.

But if we delay any further, the situation will only get worse!

Several thoughts flashed through my mind...

"Kakashi, how about you lend me your life so that I can get rid of this 'nobody' identity?"

"You can't kill me, Zabuza. There's no point in continuing the stalemate between you and me."

Kakashi slowly closed his eyes.

on the left!

A sharp sound approached, but Kakashi remained calm and blocked all the incoming shurikens.

"No, you may have misunderstood something, Kakashi. All I have to do is stop you."

indeed.

If we delay any further, once the Kirigakure Anbu finds their way here, the situation will naturally become much more difficult.

but......

Kakashi closed his eyes and smiled, looking relaxed and as if he didn't care at all.

Are you willing to drag it on?
