Hidden Otsutsuki.

"Okay, down to business. Where are you?"

"It's right in front of you." Kakashi looked at the confused Shiba with some amusement, and pointed to the two forks full of various chakras.

"I'm not blind! Of course I can see two roads. I mean, what do you want me to smell?" Shiba turned around on the spot angrily, and shouted at Kakashi speechlessly.

"Huh? Isn't it right here... eh?" Kakashi raised his forehead, revealing his scarlet Sharingan, looking at the two roads...but he didn't see the previous scene.

"Chakra, it's gone." Siba replied with a dignified expression.He knew that Kakashi wouldn't make such a joke, and now was not the time for it.

Then it can only be...something happened.

"Well, it is indeed gone." Kakashi nodded thoughtfully, propped his chin with one hand, and looked back at the three Inokacho.

"Kakashi, what's the situation now?" Lu Jiu looked at the surrounding environment, except for traces of ninjutsu and various pits, there were no other clues.

"It seems that the remaining Chakra has been absorbed..." Kakashi didn't know how to explain it, so he could only come up with an answer that might be the closest to the truth.

"Lu Jiu, the small hole here doesn't look like it was punched out." Ding Zuo gnawed on potato chips, while pointing to the two pits on the side of the battlefield in a daze.

"Isn't it just two pits? The method of the earth escape ninja shouldn't be strange?" Hai Yi glanced at it from a distance, and then denied Ding Zuo's discovery.

"No, the location of those two pits is very remote, but they are close to the intersection of two roads... Could it be that this is the person who absorbed Chakra?" Kakashi preconceived, still taking the absorption of Chakra as the main line, and directly expressed his speculation.

"A person who absorbs Chakra... an earthen ninja?" Lu Jiu glanced at Kakashi, and there was an imperceptible trace of vigilance in his eyes.

"Yes……"

"Why can't it dissipate naturally?" Ding Zuo said naively, sat down on the ground, took out a bag of potato chips from his bag, patted and opened it, and gnawed on it.

"Impossible! Natural dissipation will not be so fast and so thorough!"

"Maybe... it will be the dispelling ability caused by the wind attribute chakra?"

"This... this is also... no, this is impossible! It is also Chakra, how can it be possible to dispel such a solid multi-attribute Chakra?"

"Kakashi? Why are you... not normal today? This kind of reasoning is really not your style. Now there is obviously no clue to prove that Chakra has been absorbed." Although Lu Jiu did not deny this hypothesis, Kakashi's almost stubborn point of view is indeed different from usual.

In terms of IQ, Kakashi can actually be evenly matched with Lu Jiu.

But at this moment... In this place, all he could think about were the two teammates he had lost, and only the scenes from that year remained in his eyes.

Earth escape ninja... The first possibility that came to mind was naturally the ninja from Iwain.

Everyone is a master of earth escape, making these holes is a matter of flicking.It's just that they don't need to come here...

Absorb Chakra... I haven't heard of anyone who has the ability to absorb Chakra.

"I... I don't have it..." Kakashi scratched his hair embarrassingly, his eyes could only look down, staring at Shiba at his feet, he didn't smile awkwardly, and he didn't smile either.

"You, did you think of something..." Haiyi stared at Kakashi's eyes, and slowly formed two seals with his hands.

"Wait a minute, let him speak for himself." Lu Jiu noticed Haiyi's gesture, and this was clearly a special method used against hostile spies...forcibly extracting relevant memories. "It's not that serious."

"it is good."

"You... oh, trouble."

Kakashi sat down slowly on the spot, brought Shibara over, and put it on his lap. Regardless of its desperate resistance, he slowly stroked it, covered his forehead, and covered the Sharingan that did not belong to him.

"Tell me." The three Inokadie families have nothing to do with the big family in Konoha Center, and the three current patriarchs don't know what happened back then.

"Ah."

His eyes were gradually blurred, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised...

"The three of us... graduated at the same time, and were later assigned to the same team."

"The three of you... Could it be you, Rin Nohara, and Obito Uchiha?"

"Hmm... That crane tail, I couldn't learn anything back then..." Thinking of the past, all Kakashi left was nostalgia and regret.

Only in that period did he experience real superiority and real happiness.

……

"Then...what happened?" After talking for more than 20 minutes, Kakashi didn't say anything important...it was just an irrelevant reminiscence.

As if...he was deliberately avoiding that matter.

"Later, I killed both of them."　
"what?"

"For the sake of one life, I made a promise to another life... and in the end, I ended that promise with my own hands."

All the longing in his eyes disappeared, leaving only a strong self-blame that couldn't be resolved.

"Kakashi...you..." The three of them still didn't understand much, and Ding Zuo was chewing potato chips in the distance, nodding and shaking his head for a while, not knowing what to say.

After a long time, it was Lu Jiu who spoke first: "Did Yan Yin do it?"

"..."

"Is it these traces that remind you of the past?"

"..."

"Are you afraid that Yan Yin will hurt your students?"

"If it is really Yan Yin, I will kill him with my own hands!"

"Kakashi... don't get excited. Our goal is Orochimaru, and it has nothing to do with Iwagakushi." Lujiu analyzed Kakashi's heart little by little, and finally touched the innermost knot.

"What if Iwagakure just wants to seize this opportunity, and just...do it while we're not paying attention?" Kakashi held back and didn't say anything, his eyes seemed a little aggrieved.

Stubborn like a child.

"So, you're still worried about Yu Ling and the others?" Hai Yi shot, Kakashi's mental state is really not conducive to the mission, if he doesn't calm down, it is estimated that this is another team that died prematurely.

"Well, it should be." After hesitating for a while, Kakashi nodded.

"Then you want to repeat the same mistakes? Maybe you can leave alone, and then regret it after what happened?" Haiyi's words made Kakashi's heart tense, and he stared at Hai, as if he was looking at a freak.

Of course, this sentence also attracted Lu Jiu and Ding Zuo to look sideways, and Ding Zuo even started winking.

"Haiyi, isn't that a blow to him too much by saying that?"

"He's too obsessed, and it's impossible not to try to overdo it. Only when he is encouraged to a certain extent can he wake up." Hai Yi sighed in his heart, and he himself didn't want to say such a thing.

"Okay, then you'd better be careful, after all, he's a villager, so don't use the way you deal with spies to mess with him."

"Repeat the same mistakes? No... no! Impossible, I..."

Haiyi stared at Kakashi for a moment, apparently dissatisfied with such a reaction.

"It seems that Kakashi has some resistance in his heart... no, the main thing is fear!"

"You're afraid."

"NO, I have not."

"You're scared!" Haiyi raised his voice, and slapped the obedient Kakashi.

"No, no, no... I'm not afraid..." The rounded eyes slowly retracted, Kakashi raised his head slightly, looked straight into Yamanaka Kaiichi's eyes, and did not dodge any more.

"Is this enough?"

"You're scared!" Hai Yi raised his voice again, shouting in a voice that was almost a roar.

"I didn't!" Kakashi finally raised his head, puffed out his chest, and shouted confidently, the battle-tested hostility was released from his body, and there was even a trace of hatred in his single eyes looking at Haiyi.

"Then do you still want to stand by and watch? Or do you mean to wait for others to rescue you?" Haiyi winked at Lu Jiu, and the two cooperated and walked towards Kakashi, each standing on one side.

"Well...the look in this look seems to be trying to sing red and white faces...don't worry about it, let's talk first." Lu Jiu accidentally forgot the secret signal between the two...

"Don't forget, our mission is to support and protect the safety of other team members!"

"Okay, there's no need to act. I just figured it out. It's useless to be entangled here. It's best to seize the opportunity and kill Yan Yin. I order you in the name of the captain, set off immediately! Well, Xiba, come here and help me smell..."

Kakashi suddenly returned to normal...

"Kakashi, you..."

"I saw the look in your eyes just now, and then I realized it. I accidentally led myself into the pit before, that matter... don't talk about it, please everyone." Kakashi squinted his dead fish eyes, chuckled, and walked away with his back to the two of them, not forgetting to hold Shiba by his hand.

"You...wasting our minds..." Hai Yi managed to recover from the shock, turned around and waved, took out a handful of potato chips from the bag, and stuffed them into his mouth without looking at them.

"Kakashi, what do you want me to smell..." The question was asked a long time ago, but Kakashi ignored it.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you go back, it's none of your business." Before he finished speaking, he punched Xiba on the back without any explanation, and knocked him back to the habitat of the ethnic group.

"..."

"Okay, then let's move on!" Kakashi unexpectedly resurrected with full blood...

"Well, Kakashi, where are we going?"

"Hmm... good question. I observed it just now, and a group of teams with weak Chakra reactions but strong negative emotions came this way." Kakashi pointed to the direction on the left hand side, and described the situation he perceived.

"Chakra is weak... it shouldn't be Captain Jiuxinnai's team. Negative emotions...'root' is without emotion, so it can only be Yu Ling's team." After a thousand times of thinking in a second, Lu Jiu came up with the answer directly.

"That's right! Just go this way!"

"What...you already knew?"

"It's not very early... two or three minutes ago." Kakashi chuckled, as if he had forgotten all the previous gaffes, and took a step forward under the astonished gaze of the three faces.

"what!"

step into the pit...
