Chapter 125: Seeing Kakashi Again

Given Kakashi's talent, as long as his old man is resurrected a few times to demonstrate the White Fang Sword Technique, a surge in strength is naturally a matter of course.

Even Uchiha Feiyu became a Jonin-level ninja immediately after mastering the White Fang Sword Technique, so it is only natural for Kakashi to become a Quasi-Kage level, and with his old man by his side, he can even burst into Shadow-level at any time.

With this level of strength, continuing to follow behind Namikaze Minato is naturally a huge waste, so it is normal for him to become a Jonin earlier than in the original story and lead a team alone.

However, the fact that Obito and the others actually became Kakashi's subordinates—Uchiha Feiyu could almost imagine the look on that "idiot's" face.

I remember Uchiha Obito seemed to have awakened his Sharingan under my command back then; Uchiha Feiyu had originally thought he would make rapid progress, but he didn't expect him to still be a Chunin now.

"Obito was only saved at Kannabi Bridge; although Madara Uchiha's lair is likely not in that place, at least during that period, Madara Uchiha or the White Zetsu under him must have been keeping an eye on that area."

But even a Quasi-Kage level powerhouse has no real chance of winning in a head-on battle against ten Jonin working together.

However, the debt of his parents' murder clearly could not just be settled like that; even though many ninjas didn't say much about Uchiha Feiyu taking out Danzō and the Root defecting from Konoha, there was certainly no lack of sympathy.

Kakashi knew very well that with this guy's personality, if he really wanted to kill someone, he wouldn't say a single word to them, but would instead go straight into stealth and slaughter them.

Ever since Obito awakened his Sharingan, his strength has improved a little, but it is only at the Special Jonin level.

But regardless, as a necessary node for logistics and transport, Kannabi Bridge still has a certain degree of importance; once cut off by Konoha, not to mention that repairing such a bridge is time-consuming and laborious, the transport of logistical supplies will also become much more troublesome.

Facing the strong, I am timid and submissive. Facing the weak, I strike with heavy fists!

And he strikes with extreme cruelty and ruthlessness; once he determines that the opponent is no match, he bites down and never lets go, killing them until the blood flows like a river.

"If you wanted to cause trouble for Konoha, you would have gone on a killing spree long ago instead of talking to me!"

Namikaze Minato immediately unleashed his "little sun" warm-man talent, full of boyfriend energy as he spoke to his girlfriend, but Uzumaki Kushina shook her head:

"It's fine, I've already gotten used to the front lines now, and I don't feel that tired."

Chakra and a ninja's age are closely related; generally speaking, the period between 30 and 40 years old is when a ninja's chakra is strongest and most active, and at that time, a ninja's chakra volume can be about one to two times greater than at 18.

If it were a battle between armies of ordinary people, this would be a place that military strategists must fight for; the greatest poison in warfare is the cutting off of food supplies, and once this place is cut off by the opponent, even with a million-strong army, the result is a collapse without a fight.

Kannabi Bridge is a necessary passage for Rock Ninja logistics and can be considered a major traffic artery.

Not to mention...

And Kakashi, who had received the mission and was preparing to destroy Kannabi Bridge, stood on a hillside, looking at the Rock Ninja's layout in the distance, and also frowned.

"So if you want to attract Madara Uchiha's attention in the shortest possible time, taking action at Kannabi Bridge is naturally the best choice."

In this regard, Hatake Sakumo felt that his child was truly a bit shameless, which made him feel ashamed.

Although Kakashi had learned the White Fang Sword Technique and his strength had even reached the Quasi-Kage level, he did not have as many methods as Uchiha Feiyu; he could not use the Camouflage Concealment Technique for stealth, nor the Light-Weight Rock Technique to reduce footsteps and increase speed.

This means that Kakashi can only rely on the White Fang Sword Technique to hack people head-on; he doesn't know any tricks like stealthy sneak attacks at all.

After making his decision, Uchiha Feiyu stopped listening to Konoha's battle strategy and turned around to walk out of the command center.

"Looks like you're still quite worried, huh? How about it? Do you want me to help out?"

"Fine... you understand me quite deeply."

You have to know that a few years ago, Kakashi's chakra volume was only slightly inferior to Uchiha Feiyu's; even though Uchiha Feiyu has been in a growth spurt these past few years, I have also been in a growth spurt! How could I be left behind by so many times in pure chakra?!

"Defeat the Rock Ninja early, and we can return to Konoha sooner... Minato, don't forget the wedding you promised me."

Among the various pieces of dirt on Konoha's Root that Uchiha Feiyu threw out, there was the fact that Danzō assassinated Uchiha Feiyu's parents and staged it as an accident, trying to take the opportunity to control and brainwash Uchiha Feiyu.

"Tsk, why wouldn't you cause trouble for Konoha?"

"How could I forget such a thing? After this battle is over, we'll go back and get married!"

Unfortunately, mere suspicion has no meaning; unable to determine the source of his suddenly erupted power, it cannot be counted as his normal strength, and in any battle, Kakashi will not factor his burst state into his calculations.

Kakashi didn't know if this was his imagination, nor did he know where the strange burst state he possessed every time he encountered danger came from, but as a sharp, genius ninja, Kakashi still had subtle suspicions about the White Fang Short Blade in his hand.

Kakashi spoke without hesitation, which made Uchiha Feiyu smile slightly, and from an angle Kakashi couldn't see, the soul of Hatake Sakumo, wrapped around the White Fang Short Blade, also covered his head, not knowing whether to feel gratified or ashamed.

Kakashi hasn't swapped in a Mangekyo Sharingan yet, and he isn't the "chakra unit of measurement" from the future; it's just because he is young, so his own chakra isn't that much, and he is considered at the bottom among Jonin.

"Fine~~ I'll let you open your eyes today~"

Just after Uchiha Feiyu left, Uzumaki Kushina, who hadn't said much just now, looked around in a daze. Seeing his girlfriend's strange expression, Namikaze Minato hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong, Kushina? Did you discover something?"

After all, Uchiha Feiyu's age is what it is; he is not yet 18 years old, and although his body has largely finished developing, there is clearly still a big gap before his peak period.

Kakashi sighed and looked at the White Fang Short Blade in his hand, vaguely feeling his father's aura.

In terms of personal character, Kakashi was completely led astray by Uchiha Feiyu; although the two didn't spend much time together, it must be said that Uchiha Feiyu's "sober-minded" chicken soup for the soul had too great an impact on Kakashi during his period of confusion.

"I do have some... but unfortunately, they can't keep up with the rhythm of my battles. I understand now why you didn't take me, Obito, and Rin on missions back then; when the gap in strength is too large, ordinary ninjas are indeed a burden to ninjas like you and me."

Kakashi rolled his eyes and complained:

"Of course I want to! If I have a 'thigh' to carry me, why would I still need to work hard?"

The greatest advantage of a high-speed ninja is speed—fight when you want, run when you want. The strongest state is when there is no dead weight; clearly, the current Kakashi has also realized this truth.

On one hand, ninjas fight in small teams, and with rich field combat experience and things like Soldier Pills, the consumption of food and grass is not high to begin with.

As for Might Guy, after opening the Eight Inner Gates, he is also at the Special Jonin level, just not durable for long battles.

But after he estimated the chakra Uchiha Feiyu burst out, he easily calculated that Uchiha Feiyu's chakra was at least 300 times his own; as for how much higher, it was impossible to calculate.

Kakashi's words were categorical; looking at Uchiha Feiyu's performance during the Ninja World War, it can be completely described as:

"Perhaps it's because you've been on the front lines for too long, and your mood is a bit tense. Don't go on missions for the next two days, get some good rest."

With these three together, facing the remaining 30 Chunin and Genin, the result would likely be being hacked into meat paste after taking out a few enemies.

Kakashi gasped immediately, feeling the almost terrifying chakra on Uchiha Feiyu, and was stunned for a moment.

Uchiha Feiyu said with a light laugh, then looked at him:

"Just you alone? No other ninjas... you're a Jonin now, don't tell me you don't even have a subordinate?"

Kakashi's expression was a bit surprised; he looked at Uchiha Feiyu and asked:

"Your behavior is a bit strange... with your personality, would you be willing to work for free on something with no benefits?"

"By the way, what are you doing here? Could it be that you want to find trouble with the Rock Ninja?"

When her nerves were taut, Kushina hadn't really noticed, but after Uchiha Feiyu left, she suddenly relaxed instinctively, only then realizing that her state of mind just now had been wrong.

Uchiha Feiyu glanced at Hatake Sakumo on the White Fang Short Blade, chuckled, and a massive amount of chakra instantly erupted from his body!

"Uh, I don't know why, but just now I felt like something was off, like there was something in my heart, and then suddenly I felt at ease."

Naturally, in a place like this, Iwagakure had also left behind quite a few ninja to stand guard.

That was mainly because at the time, the Rock Ninja had sent an army of ten thousand ninja to surround and attack the Third Raikage, and although they eventually killed the Third Raikage, they suffered heavy losses themselves and truly had no way to station more personnel here.

Uchiha Feiyu rolled his eyes and said indifferently:

In Kakashi's estimation, Uchiha Feiyu's strength was indeed impressive, and he could even be considered a top-tier powerhouse among the Shadow-level, but if one calculated chakra purely, he could only be considered at the bottom of the Shadow-level.

Although later, because Uchiha Feiyu's Sharingan did not evolve, Danzō judged that he had no potential, so the plan was not carried out.

Nara Shikaku, sitting in the subordinate position, felt like he had been fed dog food directly; seeing the two of them acting like they were flaunting their affection and setting up flags, as a subordinate, he could only silently exit the tent.

"However, relying on sudden bursts is not a long-term solution. If you walk a tightrope every day, if there is a mistake one day, it will truly harm others and yourself."

It is different now; the well-staffed Rock Ninja have left a total of ten squads here at Kannabi Bridge, with ten Jonin and thirty Chunin and Genin, forging the entire bridge to be as solid as an iron barrel.

And there is no need to mention Kakashi; because of his father's affairs, his relationship with Uchiha Feiyu was already very good, and their situations were extremely similar.

Even Uchiha Feiyu wiping out Root could, to a certain extent, be considered as having avenged Kakashi, so naturally, he had no hostility toward Uchiha Feiyu.

Kakashi thought about his three subordinate ninja; there was no need to mention Nohara Rin, who had the most ordinary Chunin strength, though she did have a decent grasp of Medical Ninjutsu.

"Just tell me, are you going to help or not?"

However, because of Kakashi's performance during crises, the Konoha commander always overestimated Kakashi's strength, which led to Kakashi feeling that the missions he was executing were becoming increasingly perverted.

Sighing softly, Kakashi turned around, preparing to think of other ways to see if he could mobilize these Rock Ninja and deal with them in batches.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw a familiar figure behind him and was immediately shocked:

"Feiyu!? How did you get here?!"

"Unless I can erupt again, otherwise there is simply no chance of winning!"

Battles between ninja are not like the legion warfare of ordinary people, and the pressure on logistics is nowhere near as terrifying as that of ordinary armies.

In the original Naruto, there were only a few ninja at Kannabi Bridge, and although those stationed were all Jonin and not weak in strength, they were ultimately too thin.

But the shameless Kakashi would definitely live much better and much more easily than Hatake Sakumo in the future; from this perspective, Hatake Sakumo felt a bit of relief.

"So this time, I really am the only one who came to scout the enemy situation; the others are all in the rear."

Looking at the surprised Kakashi before him, Uchiha Feiyu chuckled:

"I came because I wanted to. Actually, you're not bad, Kakashi; you didn't just pull out your blade and hack at me the moment you saw me, a Konoha missing-nin."

"So many ninja... they are not easy to deal with!"

On the other hand, ninja possess Storage Scrolls and Summoning Techniques for transport, and combined with the fact that ninja themselves are swift in action and can easily cross mountains and rivers, they naturally are not like those troops that are helpless once their supply lines are cut.

"Even if I wanted to hack at you, I couldn't beat you... and I don't think you let Konoha down; it should be Konoha that let you down!"

"Feiyu, what exactly is going on with your chakra? Did you eat some kind of heaven-sent treasure or miraculous medicine? No, I should ask you, did you eat heaven-sent treasures and miraculous medicines as meals!!"

"Even if your Sharingan is developed higher and your Uchiha bloodline has undergone Awakening... it shouldn't cause your chakra to skyrocket hundreds of times over!"
