Chapter 64: Chapter – 62 Raid
Time: Around Midnight.
Location: Valley where the secret Warehouse of Cloud Village is located.
...…wheh...….
A cool breeze blew past, causing the two Cloud ninjas in the sentry post to unconsciously tighten their clothes.
One of them suddenly asked, "Hey, did you hear something?"
Another person listened for a while, then shook his head negatively, "Isn't it just the sound of insects and birds? What else did you hear?"
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed into the sentry post and dashed towards the two cloud ninjas.
"Who?"
Two cloud ninjas didn't even have the opportunity of subconscious defense before they fell under the cold light of the blade.
Taking a step forward the shadow checked the breath and pulse of the two of them. After confirming that the two were now dead, he slowly stood up and cast his eyes towards the secret warehouse located at the innermost part of this valley.
The shining moonlight fell on the black shadow, revealing his face.
This person is not someone else but Hyuga Kuroto who is responsible for attracting enemy attention and leading them away to generate a suitable opportunity for Kakashi.
After sneaking into the valley, Kuroto found that Cloud village had arranged a very tight defense for guarding against enemy attacks. Even when quite far away from the warehouse, there are already so many ninjas spread around here.
From such strict security, Kuroto can guess that Cloud Village must have stocked a lot of supplies here.
However, after a moment of careful observation with the Tenseigan, he couldn't stay calm anymore.
The number of ninjas guarding the warehouse is more than 150, and that's just those in the bright, if those guarding from the shadows are included than at the very least more than 200 enemy shinobi are present here.
This situation is far beyond Kuroto's expectations.
Initially, Team-11 expected about 50 to 80 enemy shinobi and planned their tactics accordingly, however, the current situation is obviously not what they expected.
Suddenly, there was a noise from the other end.
The noise was mixed with shouts and fighting sounds, it made the entire silent valley extremely noisy!
Kuroto looked in the direction while murmuring, "That should be Guy's direction, was he discovered so soon?"
The battle plan deployed by Team-11 is very simple.
Firstly, Kuroto, Shisui, and Guy will infiltrate into the valley from three different directions, while assassinating any of the enemy shinobi they encounter along the way, once they are spotted, they would immediately retreat while leading some guards away, to decrease the enemy number guarding the warehouse.
Then, Kakashi who is responsible for the final assault will charge straight into the warehouse and destroy it completely.
Finally, the four-member of the Team-11 who completed their part of the task will meet at the retreat point and return together to the Konoha Village.
However, the premise of this battleplan succeeding is that the enemy number should be around 80 at maximum. With the current enemy count, it's obviously not possible. So, an ominous premonition surged in Kuroto's heart.
As Kuroto prepared himself, the noise on that end finally faded away.
'Since Guy was exposed then he must have acted according to the plan, leading away a part of Clouds forces.' – thought Kuroto.
But Guy's exposure also made the Cloud ninja extremely alert and aware of the enemy attack. As a result of which teams of ninjas spread out and searched the entire valley inch by inch.
Seeing that enemy ninjas were about to approach at his location, Kuroto no longer hid and immediately threw several dozen kunai tied with detonation paper in their direction one-after-another.
Boom… boom… boom…
There was a series of violent explosions.
Under the cover of darkness and the rising smoke from the explosion, Kuroto unsheathed his sword and rushed towards the panicked ninjas.
"Who is it!?"
"Where…?"
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!!"
"Be careful! It's an enemy attack!!"
The sword light flickered, and like a reaper, Kuroto reaped these ninjas, in the blink of an eye four ninjas were already dead.
"Wind Release: Breakthrough!"
However, before he can take any more actions, one of the chunin leaders reacted immediately and using a Wind Release ninjutsu cleared away the smoke and dust.
Without the cover of smoke, Kuroto's figure appeared in front of the whole crowd of Cloud shinobi.
Another Chunin leader immediately shouted as soon as he saw Kuroto, "It's Konoha Anbu, everyone, be careful!"
This group of Cloud search forces consists of Chunin and Genin ninja, so along with sending a signal to the base camp deep in the valley, the surrounded Kuroto.
According to the plan, Kuroto should retreat right at this moment.
However, considering that the number of enemy ninjas is far beyond what they imagined, he had to stay and attract more attention. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Kakashi to get close to the warehouse.
…
In another direction, Shisui also took the initiative to launch the surprise attack.
He started with the Body Flicker Technique, and in just a few moments, solved a four-person squad of Cloud shinobi, after which he rushed deeper into the valley.
Along the way, he didn't entangle with the enemy much but did kill off the individuals he could without letting the enemy discover himself, but as soon as he was about to approach the warehouse, a group of Cloud ninjas with a Jonin as their leader detected him.
With the fierce assault of Kuroto and Shisui, the entire valley was noisier. Explosions, roars, wailing and crying for help, one after another all the sounds mixed together.
Kakashi, who was hiding in the dark, was paying attention to all this, but he had to be patient as it wasn't yet time for him to assault.
Before long, Kuroto and Shisui choose to withdraw from the valley.
However, the enemy ninjas were obviously not kind enough to let the two of them get away so easily. So, two chasing units followed the two; to chase and kill them respectively.
"Guy drew eight people, Kuroto drew away 16, while Shisui drew away 12 ninjas…"
Kakashi while hidden in the dark silently counted the number of enemies led away by the teammates as he observed the changes in the guarding formation after the attack.
Counting the total number, the three members of Team-11 killed and led away, there are still more than 100 enemy ninjas here. But Kakashi can't blame them, this is already a very good result.
As for the problem of the enemy number being much higher?
Kakashi has no fear of it.
On the contrary, this increased his determination to destroy the warehouse, because such a strong defense just implies that that the supplies stored must be really important for the Cloud Village.
Taking a deep breath, he muttered, "It's now!"
Ox – Rabbit – Monkey – Dragon – Rat – Bird – Ox – Snake – Dog – Tiger – Monkey
As Kakashi completed this hand sign printing, suddenly, a sharp and piercing sound reminiscent of many birds chirping echoed throughout the valley!
Accompanied by the sound of birds chirping, Kakashi, dashed forward into the valley…
…
On Kuroto's side, as he was moving through the trees, the sound of Kakashi's unique Jutsu 'Chidori' echoed throughout the valley, indicating that Kakashi has launched the final assault.
While still jumping from tree to tree, he glanced at the Cloud ninjas chasing behind him. There were sixteen of them divided into four squads. Among these 16, there were 2 at least Jonin Class from their Chakra Volume, and five were Chunin while the rest being Genin class.
'I have to eliminate these people before reaching the retreat point!' – thought Kuroto.
Having made up his mind, he stopped at a clearing, and slowly pulled the Kusanagi Sword out of the sheathe on his waist.
Clouds chasing ninjas immediately spread around, surrounding him. The leader of one of the squads smiled and said while looking at the Kuroto's young figure, "Just a kid, but look at the courage, dared to sneak in here!"

Chapter 65: Chapter – 63 Trance and Rescue
"Damn you kid…!"
As the chest was already cut open and blood was spurting out, Cloud Village's Jonin ninja became weaker and weaker. Eventually, his body fell to the ground with no signs of life left.
Kuroto staggered a few steps, then sat on the ground, panting heavily.
The corpses of 16 Cloud Shinobi fell around him, the entire forest area was in a mess, clearly indicating the signs of a fierce battle that occurred not long ago.
After resting up a bit, Kuroto examined his body, and finally took a breath of relief.
Although he had many wounds, out of which only one was serious, the rest were only small pierces, cuts, and burns. The injury on his left shoulder was slightly serious, but that didn't hinder him from holding the sword in his right hand.
"I guess I am alive thanks to you huh?" Kuroto murmured as he sheathed the Kusanagi sword.
This time, Kuroto was able to wipe out the entire unit of 16 Cloud ninja at the cost of an injured left shoulder and only some cuts and burns, the credit definitely goes to the Kusanagi Sword and the Paralysis poison he compounded.
One of the enemy Jonin didn't know about his Kusanagi Sword and tried to block his slash with just a simple Kunai, obviously, the Kunai couldn't resist and was divided like butter under a hot knife by his Tenseigan Chakra infused Sword slash.
As a result, one Jonin ninja died without any resistance in the face of Kuroto's attack, this not only decreased the strength of the enemy side but also weakened their morale which helped Kuroto finish off the rest of the bunch.
After simply bandaging up the wound, Kuroto didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately rushed towards the retreat point. After all, they are still in the enemy territory, every second of stay here will only bring danger to them.
It didn't take long for him to arrive at the retreat point that Team-11 agreed upon.
Guy and Shisui who arrived earlier, saw Kuroto arrive and greeted him, "Finally here Kuroto! How did it go on your side?"
Kuroto said, "It took a little bit of effort to eliminate the enemies."
Shisui nodded, "Well, I noticed before, Kuroto-San drew most enemy ninja away from the warehouse."
Kuroto also glanced at Shisui and Guy, while asking casually, "How did it go on your end?"
Both Guy and Shisui talked about the situation they faced separately.
Since Guy was discovered earlier so he could only lead away 8 enemy ninjas which were only Chunin and Genin class, so after a fierce battle Guy eliminated them all.
Among the 12 enemy ninjas that Shisui led away, although there was 1 Jonin, he was under Shisui's genjutsu from the very beginning. So, by the time he successfully broke through the effect of the genjutsu, the other ninjas were already lying in the pool of their own blood, which is to say Shisui had already killed them, and without any support from his teammates, the Jonin was obviously not Shisui's opponent, therefore not long after he fell under Shisui's blade.
After hearing the description from both Guy and Shisui, Kuroto frowned, "So, if we combine the total number of ninjas we eliminated, it only reaches up to 80 people?"
More importantly, among them, only 3 of them were Jonin class, while the vast majority were Chunin class or cannon fodder class that are only useful for consuming enemy chakra.
Listening to Kuroto's deductions, Guy was more worried about Kakashi, "Yes, so I am worried about Kakashi, how will he be able to deal against more than 100 enemy ninjas?"
Shisui also stood silent.
The current situation is very clear, even if Kakashi is very strong, but there is absolutely no way he could survive against more than a hundred cloud ninjas. Even if he somehow manages to destroy the warehouse, retreat would be impossible for him.
Guy looked in the direction of the warehouse and said firmly, "We have to go and help him!"
Shisui also wanted to say something but he didn't know what to say.
Currently, all three members of Team-11 are not only injured but they also don't have much chakra volume after a series of battles. They can't even be sure to safely escape to the Land of Fire from Cloud Village's follow-up pursuit.
In such a situation going back to the warehouse is simply a death wish.
Seeing the worry in Guy and Shisui's eyes, Kuroto also looked towards the valley with slight hesitation…
'I made a promise to him, I can't let it end here!' – was the only thought going on in his mind.
At the Valley.
Taking a glance at the burning warehouse beside him, Kakashi squatted halfway in a pool of blood, with a relieved smile on his face.
"Finally completed the task."
"No other companion will have to die for me."
...…. whoosh…. whoosh…. whoosh...…
At this time, more and more cloud shinobi rushed towards the burning warehouse with the body flicker technique, surrounding Kakashi from all sides.
The head ninja of Cloud village spoke with a murderous look on his face, "Konoha ninja, speak your name!"
Although the head ninja was very angered and wanted nothing more than to crush the brat under his feet, he still had to admire the kid's determination, so, to show his respect to the kid he asked the kid's name before Killing him.
Kakashi tried raising his head to look at the person, but because of the excessive blood loss, his vision was getting blurry, he could only vaguely perceive the swaying firelight and the shadowy figure of the ninjas around him.
At this moment he suddenly fell into a daze, this was a familiar feeling!
"I seem to have felt this before…"
"Yeah, now I remember, it was during the battle of the Kannabi Bridge, back then also I was surrounded by so many enemy ninjas…
"Unfortunately, Minato-Sensei is no longer alive. No one will come to rescue me this time…"
"I am sorry Father!"
"I am sorry Minato-Sensei, I couldn't protect your son…"
"Obito…! Rin…! We are finally going to meet again."
"Hehe, it seems to be a good ending…"
Slowly but steadily Kakashi felt the strength in his body fading away bit by bit, his thoughts drifted further and further, as if he was already past the shackles of the body.
Seeing the tranced and lifeless look of the Kid, the head ninja shook his head while sighing, then regaining the same cold look in his eyes he signaled the chunin beside him to behead the Kid.
The cloud Chunin immediately drew a kunai and walked towards the kid's direction.
But after walking in front of the kid, this cloud chunin didn't make the killing move for a while.
The head ninja urged impatiently, "What's the hold-up? Finish him quickly, we have to also chase after the rest of his teammates!"
The secret warehouse has already been destroyed. If he doesn't chase after and successfully kill the Konoha ninjas responsible for this, then even if he is a qualified head ninja of the cloud village, he wouldn't escape Raikage-sama's anger!
The cloud chunin stared at the weird-shaped eye in Kakashi's left eye socket and said while stumbling, "B-but, his eye…"
However, before anyone could understand the Chunin's words, a figure wearing an eagle-faced mask suddenly flashed by, instantly beheading the chunin who was standing in front of Kakashi, and then two more figures appeared on Kakashi's side, one with a dog-faced and the other with a cat-faced mask.
Waving the sword to get the blood off of it, Eagle who was now standing in front of the kid said lightly, "Dog, carry Kitsune on your back and leave!"
Dog hesitated but seeing that the Kitsune's consciousness was already blurry and he couldn't retreat alone, so, he carried the Kitsune on his back and said to Eagle and Cat, "After dropping Kitsune to a safe place, I will come back soon!"
Cat smiles and shook his head, "No, you make sure to take him back to the village, I and Eagle-San can handle it here."
"But…" – Dog wanted to interject.
However, Eagle shouted with annoyance, "Get the hell out of here already before I change my mind!"
