Starting from traveling through Naruto, who says archers are weak

Tsunade quickly adjusted her mood. Now was not the time to think about other things.

Through the communication with Kakashi just now.

She guessed that if Hiruko wanted to seize the blood limit, she had to use a special ceremony.

And this special ceremony Tsunade had heard of before, it seemed that it required a specific light to complete.

Turning the calendar, it was two days before the golden ring solar eclipse.

That meant they only had two days to solve this incident.

The preparations for the ritual were completed quickly, and Tsunade scribbled on the back of Kakashi's hand.

After a check, it was confirmed that the ritual had taken effect.

Kakashi said goodbye to Tsunade and came to the hero cemetery of Konoha.

This time he should be in danger, at least he had to say goodbye to them properly.

This stay lasted for more than two hours, and it felt like it was about time. Kakashi walked back.

He happened to meet Shikamaru who came to pay tribute.

"Shikamaru, are you here to see Asuma again?"

Shikamaru nodded with Asuma's relic lighter in his hand.

"Where is Kakashi-sensei? Are you here to pay respects at the cemetery in the middle of the night?"

Kakashi didn't say anything and walked to Shikamaru's side.

"Shikamaru, I want to ask you something."

Shikamaru was very confused when he heard this. Why didn't Kakashi go to the people in Team 7 for something?

Why ask him something?

Then Kakashi revealed the plan of this operation to Shikamaru.

"So, Shikamaru, you must stop Naruto and July."

"This is the best way for now."

Shikamaru scratched his hair in annoyance and looked at Kakashi helplessly.

"Teacher Kakashi, Naruto's words are easy to fool."

"But as for July, to be honest, I have no way to deal with her."

"I am inferior to her in both force and wisdom."

Kakashi also understood the difficulty of this matter, but this was the only way.

Kakashi left, leaving Shikamaru alone in the same place, thinking.

From an emotional point of view, he didn't want Kakashi to choose this move.

This is different from playing shogi. On the chessboard, Shikamaru can sacrifice most of the chess pieces without hesitation.

To ensure his victory, but not in reality.

He recalled the question about "Jade" that Asuma had told him before his death.

The current situation is indeed as Kakashi said, it has reached a point where it is a last resort.

Thinking of this, Shikamaru gradually strengthened his determination.

It was night time, and Kakashi gave up his resistance to the puppet mark.

He walked slowly out of the village step by step, and his strange appearance quickly attracted the attention of the two great gate gods of Konoha.

He asked Kakashi what he was doing out of the village so late, but what he waited for was a set of silky physical combos from Kakashi.

Both of them fell into a coma, and with the soft light of the moon, Kakashi's figure gradually disappeared.

Shikamaru, who followed behind, watched Kakashi leave, put his mood in order and turned to walk towards the Hokage Building.

But what Shikamaru didn't notice was that there was a figure standing in the shadow of the wall outside the village.

A cold light reflected by the lens flashed by, and this person was July who was returning to the village after patrolling.

She noticed from a distance that something was wrong with Kakashi, and his body was shaking as if he had drunk alcohol.

But in such a tense period, how could Kakashi get himself drunk without considering the priorities?

So she hid in the shadow outside the door and observed quietly.

As she expected, the strange Kakashi quickly dealt with the two people who blocked the way, Izumo.

Then he walked deep into the forest, and then she found Shikamaru following him.

Something must have happened in the meantime.

July quickly caught up with Kakashi, wanting to see what he was going to do.

In this way, he ran away and she chased him, and he couldn't get away even if he had wings.

The next morning, Shikamaru, who racked his brains to think of a solution, went to find Naruto first.

Tell him that Kakashi was recently sent to perform a confidential mission, so he is not in the village for the time being.

If there is anything, go to Yamato or Hokage.

This is also what I discussed with Tsunade last night, first stabilize Naruto, who is the easiest to fool.

Then Shikamaru took out the Hokage's warrant and came to the door of July's house.

But no matter how he knocked on the door, there was no movement inside.

Could it be that he was not at home? Shikamaru hurried to find the ninja who patrolled and guarded with July last night.

Ask them about the situation last night, hoping that his worries are unnecessary.

However, Murphy's Law tells us that the more you don't want something to happen, the more it will happen.

The team members who were on guard together told Shikamaru the approximate time for July to return to the village.

Recalling the time when Kakashi left the village last night, it was just right.

Things have exceeded Shikamaru's expectations, and he ran to the Hokage building without stopping.

Say to TsunadeAfter understanding the situation, Tsunade immediately sent out the Anbu to search for July in the village.

An hour passed, and the Anbu sent out kept coming back to report the news.

No one found July.

It seems that the most worried thing has happened. July may have run into Kakashi when she returned to the village.

And found Kakashi's abnormality, and then followed Kakashi all the way.

Without further ado, Tsunade asked Shikamaru to gather people immediately to chase July who was following Kakashi.

Shikamaru received the order and notified all the classmates except Naruto and Sai.

The people gathered at the entrance of the village did not know the content of this mission.

After Xiao Li raised questions, Shikamaru could only helplessly tell them the whole story.

Xiao Li, who has a high empathy ability, said that he could understand July's approach with Inuzuka Kiba.

"Hokage-sama doesn't want to go this far, but this is the only way."

"This is also the embodiment of Kakashi-sensei's Will of Fire."

"So we must not let July ruin this plan."

"Okay, now the reason has been made clear to you, if any of you want to quit."

"Then do it now, otherwise we will set off quickly."

Ningji crossed his arms and glanced at Xiao Li coldly.

"Shikamaru is the captain of this operation, I listen to him."

Shino, who has always been a transparent person, also stood up at this time.

"In fact, the most fundamental purpose is to protect the village, so I joined."

"If you want to ask why, because it is the order of Hokage-sama."

With someone taking the lead, the opinions of the remaining people quickly reached a consensus.

In order to protect the village and the most important people, each of them has the awareness of sacrifice.

This time it was Kakashi, and next time it might be them.

Since everyone agrees, there is no need to waste time.

Kiba Akamaru leads the way, and the others follow.

But after everyone left, another person appeared at the entrance of the village.

He looked carefully and found that it was Sai. After thinking for a while, he ran back to the village quickly, not knowing what to do.

At this time, at the border of Fenghuo, a group of people were walking in the curved canyon.

Judging from their attire, they were ninjas from Sand Village. In the middle of the team, there was a sedan chair carried by four people.

The figure inside was looming.
