"Kakashi, are you trying to stop me?"
Genya looked at Kakashi, his eyes flashing with black flames, but there was also a coldness in them.
If that's the case, then don't blame him for taking action.
"Although I know I can't stop you, I still want to try. This is my mission, and I must complete it!"
Kakashi's eyes gleamed with determination.
He had a strange feeling deep down, like he knew the assassin in front of him.
"Heh, a mission? You really want to work for the Sarutobi clan? What did they give you in return?" Genya's voice was hoarse but still chilling.
"So you really are targeting the Sarutobi clan!" Kakashi looked at the assassin, trying to buy time. "There's no reward. This is the duty of a ninja. Since I've accepted this mission, I will do my best to complete it!"
He was thinking about his next move.
"I'm targeting the Sarutobi clan, but that doesn't mean I won't kill others!"
Genya spoke slowly, not paying any attention to Kakashi's thoughts. Though Kakashi was known for being evenly matched with others, stopping him from killing those few people was nearly impossible!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
At that moment, a ninja shot a signal into the sky!
It wasn't just one signal; it was a series of them!
It meant they had encountered a terrifying presence and couldn't handle it, requesting backup!
Being able to withstand hundreds of exploding tags without getting injured was beyond what they could deal with!
"Hehe. Seeking help? But they've already been caught up, so it will be a while before they arrive!" Genya's eyes flashed coldly, and he spoke each word clearly. "If you act as bait, you must be prepared to die!"
With that said, Genya charged toward one of the Jonin!
"Although I don't know why you have a grudge with the Sarutobi clan, as long as I'm here, I won't allow you to kill them!" Kakashi stepped forward to block him.
The two kunai clashed, and Kakashi was immediately sent flying!
He quickly reached out with one hand, and a Jonin attempting to escape was pulled toward Genya by the force of Universal Pull.
As the Jonin approached him, Genya formed a hand seal!
A large fireball technique!
He aimed to blast the Jonin away!
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" But just as the fireball was launched, Kakashi's own fireball shot toward it!
The two fireballs collided, neutralizing most of the attack!
When the fireball landed on the Jonin, it only caused him some minor injuries!
But his life was spared!
"True to your name as the Copy Ninja, very impressive!" Genya squinted, recognizing Kakashi had already prepared as he began forming his hand seals.
This was also one of the Sharingan's abilities!
"Thanks for the compliment. I'm just borrowing my friend's power," Kakashi nodded, showing no signs of lowering his guard against Genya.
Of course, he was speaking the truth—he was using Obito's Sharingan.
It was thanks to the Sharingan that he earned the title of Copy Ninja Kakashi, and his evenly matched combat ability was also due to that eye!
"Hehe, Kakashi, it seems my eyes are quite useful, copying my techniques with my Sharingan!"
Suddenly, Genya got a mischievous idea.
He wanted to trick Kakashi and see if he would fall for it!
But this could also briefly disturb Kakashi's mind.
"You're Obito? No... that's impossible!" Kakashi was briefly thrown off by Genya's words, but he quickly shook his head. "Obito is dead. He died!"
He had already been struck by a massive rock, hitting half of his body and his face!
How could he possibly survive?
"Hehe, dead? Did you actually see me die?" Genya continued to taunt. "You've changed now. You've forgotten the promise we made. You killed Rin with your own hands!"
Genya's words were constantly attacking their fragile hearts!
Kakashi's mind began to falter.
Taking advantage of Kakashi's distraction, Genya spoke again, "Also, you can copy jutsu, right? Can you copy this one?"
As he finished speaking,
He slammed his hand onto the ground.
A series of earth spikes shot up from the ground. The ninja who had just escaped danger never expected the spikes to attack. By the time they tried to avoid them, it was too late!
They were pierced by the earth spikes!
"No, you're definitely not Obito. Obito is dead. You just know some things!" Kakashi shook his head, looking at a dead ninja. His expression gradually became resolute. "Who are you really?"
"Hehe, guess!" Genya laughed this time. He laughed with joy. "Your logic is impressive. You recovered so quickly, so let me tell you a secret. Although I'm not Obito, your friend is indeed still alive, and he hates you to the core!"
"Because when you killed Rin, he was watching from not far away, seeing you kill your own comrade with your own hands!"
Genya laughed even harder.
"Impossible. Don't try to mess with my mind. Back then, I had no choice. Obito will understand!" Kakashi's expression became firm. Because of his distraction earlier, they had lost one ninja.
He turned to the remaining ninjas and said, "You all need to escape. If you can, go to Shisui. He has the strength to protect you!"
Kakashi knew that both he and Hyuga Hiashi had been attacked. They urgently needed help. Shisui was the safest place!
Shisui had Mangekyō Sharingan he could rely on as his trump card. No one could confidently say they could defeat him.
"Haha, this is boring. It's time to end this!"
With those words, black flames spread from his eyes, rapidly extending toward the remaining people, including Kakashi.
Because Genya's mental energy was sufficient, the flames quickly covered everyone in the blink of an eye!
"Do you really have Sharingan?" Kakashi, who possessed the Sharingan, furrowed his brows. He hadn't seen the man in front of him form any hand seals for that fire!
Moreover, this assassin always used black flames to cover himself when he appeared, as if there were some hidden secret within his eyes!
It resembled a Sharingan genjutsu!
"I can't waste time with you. Let's end this with one final blow!" Under the cover of the black flames, Kakashi felt a strong sense of danger.
He could feel his chakra rapidly depleting. The only option now was to end the fight quickly!
The Third Hokage wouldn't be able to arrive in time, and with these black flames draining chakra, dragging out the fight would be unfavorable for them!
Kakashi bent his legs and began gathering power.
One hand sank below his abdomen, and chakra rapidly gathered toward his hand. Streams of electricity surged and gathered in his palm!
Almost half of his chakra focused into one point!
At this moment, Kakashi held a thunderous, destructive Raikiri in his hand!
The electricity in his palm kept crackling!
"I know you can reflect ninjutsu, but let's see if you can reflect this move!" Kakashi's eyes flashed with determination. This was the strongest technique he had developed.
He even had the confidence to break through Genya's absolute defense that could reflect ninjutsu!
"No, I won't use absolute defense this time!" Genya looked at Kakashi charging up, a smile forming on his lips. "Aren't you known as the Copy Ninja Kakashi? Well, I can copy ninjutsu too!"
"I wonder if the ninjutsu I copied will be stronger than the one you cast!"
Genya slowly raised one of his hands, as if performing the Universal Pull!
However, at this moment—
A surge of lightning appeared in the palm of Genya's hand, and the lightning kept growing stronger and more intense!
It was even simpler and easier than when Kakashi used his Raikiri!
"How... how is this possible?" Kakashi stared at the lightning chakra gathering in Genya's palm, his eyes trembling!
