"Unwise?"
Hearing the words of the Twelve Guardian Ninja's member before him, Kakashi coldly raised his eyes.
"The one who is unwise is you, a member of the Twelve Guardian Ninja!"
"I did not leave Konoha. On the contrary, all Ninja of the Five Great Ninja Villages are now united under the banner of the Soul King-sama."
"Therefore, this purge of the Daimyo is also part of Soul King-sama's plan, a direct order issued by the Hokage-sama!"
"If you have any sense left, you'd better not stand in my way!"
As he spoke, Kakashi raised the White Fang in his hand: "Otherwise, this White Fang in my hand shows no mercy!"
"The Hokage's order?" Hearing Kakashi's words, the Twelve Guardian Ninja's member was shocked again: "Aren't you still locked in a life-and-death struggle with the Kirigakure's Ninja?"
The information Twelve Guardian Ninja's member had was severely outdated.
In his mind, the current Great Ninja War should still be ongoing.
This further cemented his confidence in his decision to become a Twelve Guardian Ninja … isn't it great to get paid every day, eat and drink without worry?
Therefore, he completely rejected the idea of any Hokage-sent orders.
"Hahahaha, Kakashi, if you're going to lie, at least make it convincing!" The Twelve Guardian Ninja's member laughed heartily: "How could Hokage-sama possibly turn his blade against the Daimyo?"
"What about supporting such a large Konoha Village? He's not going to sustain it anymore?"
"And with Konoha's current state? Hmph!" The Twelve Guardian Ninja's member snorted disdainfully.
"Konoha has already sunk to the point of resurrecting the dead to fight battles. Where would they have the capability to deal with the Daimyo?"
"Enough, Kakashi, I don't want to listen to anymore of your lies, you little brat!"
"Die!" Drawing a kunai, the Twelve Guardian Ninja's member charged at Kakashi.
Seeing this, the look in Kakashi's eyes grew even colder!
"So you choose death!"
Holding the White Fang short blade, Kakashi rushed forward.
Under the effects of Lightning Attribute Chakra enhancing his body, Kakashi moved like a nimble electric duck.
Circling around the Twelve Guardian Ninja's member, Kakashi engaged in swift hit-and-run tactics, making his opponent seem like a clumsy fool.
Years of living in comfort and ease had long since caused this Twelve Guardian Ninja's member to lose his former reflexes and combat prowess!
"This... impossible! How could this be?"
After a series of exchanges, the Twelve Guardian Ninja's member, who had just been conversing with Kakashi moments before, clutched his neck, blood gushing out, and fell to the ground.
Kakashi coldly stepped over the fallen Twelve Guardian Ninja's member.
However, while rare gems exist in this world, they are not plentiful.
Soon enough, Kakashi encountered a real obstacle.
They were the rather renowned Lightning Release Four-man Squad of the Twelve Guardian Ninja!
"Person of Konoha, stop!"
Looking at Kakashi, Seito shouted loudly.
He belonged to the faction protecting the Hokage, meaning he was close to the Hokage, but witnessing Kakashi's actions now left him deeply puzzled.
"Why is Konoha moving against the Daimyo?" Seito asked.
"Why? There is no why. Asking why every time will only be your downfall!"
Kakashi grew impatient: "Either get out of the way, or die. If the Daimyo escapes, you cannot afford the responsibility!"
"You bastard!" Kakashi's insolent tone greatly angered Nauma.
It seemed they had no choice but to teach Kakashi a lesson.
"Let's use our ultimate move directly, eliminate him, then go find Hokage-sama!!"
Nauma proposed.
"Agreed!"
"No problem!"
Hearing Nauma's words, the Lightning Release Four-man Squad made their decision.
Facing Kakashi, the four quickly formed hand seals with both hands, beginning to gather Chakra for their most famous ultimate technique. No matter how strong the enemy before them might be, Lightning Release: Limelight would strike, resolving everything!
"Oh?"
Sensing the gathering Chakra in the air, Kakashi also understood their intentions.
"Lightning Release: Limelight? An interesting Jutsu. Under normal circumstances, I might have wanted to witness it for reference. But now, forget it."
As he spoke, Kakashi prepared to strike.
But at that moment, another cold voice rang out.
"Sever him."
Swish!
A flash of lightning streaked by, transforming into a sharp blade of light that instantly sliced across the waists of the Lightning Release Four-man Squad.
After the lightning flash passed, the expressions of the Four-man Squad instantly froze.
Then, under the pull of gravity, a red line of blood appeared at their waists.
Subsequently, their severed upper bodies slowly slid downwards!
Thud, thud, thud, thud!
The upper bodies of the four men fell to the ground.
"Aaaaarrrggghhhhhh!"
Since ancient times, being cut in half at the waist has been considered one of the most terrifying punishments.
Now, instantly bisected, the four men wailed in agony.
Seeing this, Sakumo also realized his earlier rashness… killing should be a clean affair, not drawn-out torture.
Therefore, he swung his blade four more times.
With four vertical slashes, the four blade lights directly split the men's skulls open.
With that, their brains directly cleaved, and the four instantly lost their lives!
"Fire Release: Fire Bullet!"
A fireball shot out, cremating the bodies.
Watching his father's seamless process of killing and body disposal, Kakashi was also rendered speechless.
"Captain, why did you intervene?"
