Chapter 324: Kitazawa's First Battle as a Jonin

"Kabuto Yakushi, Itachi go first."

Kakashi Hatake whispered, then flicked his hands, throwing out a large number of shuriken.

"It's not that easy!"

The leader of the Hidden Stone Village ninja squad sneered and ordered, "Keep them all here!"

Earth Style: Rock Fist!

His hands were covered in rock, and after clenching his fists, he smashed them out.

The shuriken hit the rock fists and bounced outward one after another.

Seeing this, Kakashi Hatake drew his short blade and slashed at his wrist.

The Hidden Stone Village ninja squad leader felt a shock in his heart.

The speed of the short blade was astonishingly fast, hitting his wrist in the blink of an eye.

Although there was a layer of rock, he still vaguely felt a stinging pain.

"Itachi are no nameless person."

The Hidden Stone Village ninja squad leader was alert in his heart, but his reaction was not slow.

Earth Style: Earth-Style Wall!

He retreated and performed hand seals.

Kakashi Hatake had just prepared to pursue when his body suddenly trembled.

The flat ground rose rapidly, forming a huge stone pillar that lifted him into mid-air.

Kakashi Hatake frowned and directly revealed his Sharingan.

"Are Itachi a ninja of the Uchiha clan?"

A look of surprise appeared subconsciously on the face of the Hidden Stone Village ninja squad leader.

The Uchiha clan had a legend of being invincible in one-on-one combat.

But on the other hand, it also showed the importance of Kabuto Yakushi.

"No, that's not right, Itachi only have one Sharingan; Itachi are the Copy Ninja, Kakashi Hatake!"

The Hidden Stone Village ninja squad leader suddenly realized and said.

Kakashi Hatake's fame was simply too great.

Coupled with his obvious characteristics, he was not hard to identify.

The Hidden Stone Village ninja squad leader immediately became serious.

Facing Kakashi Hatake, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Kakashi Hatake subconsciously glanced at Kitazawa and Kabuto Yakushi, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Kabuto Yakushi was dealing with three Chunin alone; although he was at a disadvantage, he looked safe for the moment.

Kitazawa was the one who shocked him the most; fighting two Jonin alone, he actually held off the offensive.

Kakashi Hatake then realized that he hadn't lied; his strength was not just "not bad," it was simply formidable.

But he didn't have time to think too much before he threw himself into the battle.

He had to deal with the Hidden Stone Village ninja squad leader first before he could help Kitazawa and Kabuto Yakushi.

Time moved back half a minute.

After Kakashi Hatake took the initiative to attack, Kitazawa and Kabuto Yakushi were immediately surrounded.

The remaining five Hidden Stone Village ninjas consciously divided the battlefield.

Kitazawa was blocked by two Jonin, one in front and one behind.

Kabuto Yakushi was facing three Chunin, because he looked very young and didn't pose such a big threat.

In fact, it was naturally so.

The current Kabuto Yakushi had not undergone Orochimaru's guidance, and his combat strength could only be said to be okay, at a Chunin level.

Earth Style: Earth Dragon Gun!

The young Jonin performed hand seals and took the lead in attacking.

A large amount of rock turned into long spears, stabbing toward Kitazawa.

The middle-aged Jonin behind Kitazawa drew his samurai sword with an expressionless face and slashed at his head with extreme speed.

Leaf Body Flicker Jutsu!

Kitazawa's body turned into leaves filling the sky and disappeared from the spot.

Both Jonin's attacks landed on empty space.

"Careful!"

The young Jonin gave a warning, then defended back-to-back with the middle-aged Jonin.

Wind Style: Shuriken!

Two rotating shuriken sped toward them.

"Over there! Itachi go!"

The middle-aged Jonin turned his wrist, and his samurai sword instantly met the shuriken.

Chakra surged out, forming dense blade light in the air.

The two rotating shuriken stopped instantly.

Body Flicker Jutsu!

The young Jonin immediately arrived in front of Kitazawa.

Earth Style: Rock Fist!

A cruel smile appeared on his face as he swung his fist.

Just at this moment, a feather drifted down before his eyes.

Caught off guard, the young Jonin appeared slightly dazed.

Not good!

It's genjutsu!

Since when?

The young Jonin's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a second Kitazawa not far away.

Clearly, during the gap when he escaped using the Leaf Body Flicker Jutsu, he had used the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

The young Jonin's thoughts raced, and he quickly performed hand seals, trying to break free from the influence of the genjutsu, but it was already too late.

Rasengan!

Kitazawa, who had long been prepared, smashed it toward his heart without hesitation.

The young Jonin's clothes shattered instantly, followed by his flesh.

He exited the genjutsu and screamed.

Kitazawa didn't dare to stop at all; while smashing the Rasengan with his right hand, his left hand held a shuriken and slashed across the young Jonin's neck.

Fresh blood sprayed out.

The young Jonin closed his eyes in unwillingness.

He thought Kitazawa was good at Wind Style, but didn't expect his genjutsu to be not bad either.

Insufficient intelligence left him forever plunged into darkness.

"What?"

The middle-aged Jonin finally changed color.

From blocking the Wind Style: Shuriken to the young Jonin's death, the time elapsed was less than three seconds.

Well done!

Seeing this, Kabuto Yakushi breathed a sigh of relief.

When he was surrounded earlier, he really had a feeling he would die here.

But he didn't expect the situation to turn around; Kitazawa's strength far exceeded his imagination.

With the young Jonin dead, their pressure would be reduced a lot.

"How is it possible?"

The Hidden Stone Village ninja squad leader widened his eyes.

Although the young Jonin's strength wasn't particularly strong, he was still a Jonin.

Killed in seconds at the start?

This is simply seeing a ghost!

Kakashi Hatake's fame was well-known, so he could understand that.

But where did this elite Jonin Kitazawa pop out from?

"Is that a Rasengan?"

Kakashi Hatake was even more surprised than the Hidden Stone Village ninja squad leader.

The Rasengan was the ninjutsu of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who was his teacher.

How could Kitazawa know the Rasengan?

But now in the middle of battle, he could only suppress the questions in his heart.

The battle continued.

The middle-aged Jonin regained his composure and immediately performed hand seals.

The next second, two shadow clones appeared.

The middle-aged Jonin kicked off his feet, his body turning into an afterimage.

He held his samurai sword with both hands, and brilliant blade light appeared instantly.

Wind Style: Shuriken!

Kitazawa reacted quickly, and a rotating shuriken was thrown out.

But just at this moment, the middle-aged Jonin's two shadow clones took action.

First, an earth wall appeared to block Kitazawa's Wind Style: Shuriken, and then the ground rose, lifting him into mid-air.

And this position was the most suitable for the middle-aged Jonin's main body to perform.

Several blade lights covered the sky, sealing off Kitazawa's surroundings.

Kitazawa didn't dodge, but directly turned into a puff of smoke.

"How is it a shadow clone?"

The middle-aged Jonin was stunned.

Because Kitazawa used the Rasengan to kill the young Jonin, he subconsciously thought that was the main body.

But the real main body was the Kitazawa who had just used the Nirvana Innate Jutsu.

"Not good!"

The middle-aged Jonin quickly withdrew his sword and turned to look.

Eight Inner Gates, First Gate!
