"Onii-chan, you are really strong." Yukimi says as she looks at Kakashi with worship.
Yamato was feeling awkward now. After all, he was easily defeated by Samezawa. But Kakashi defeat Samezawa in just two minutes, and he also only use one Ninjutsu. The gap between them is really huge.
However, Yamato is not discouraged. After all, Kakashi is four years older than him. It is normal for him to be weaker.
Kakashi smiled and said: "I will let you deal with this person."
Yamato nodded, in order to prevent Samezawa escaping, Yamato tied him with his Wood Release. However, looking at Samezawa's condition, it is estimated that he will not get up for a while. Although the power of Chidori Nagashi is not as good as original Chidori, it is not that far behind.
What's more, Samezawa is Water Release user shinobi, and his resistance to Lightning Release is very low. So he must have taken a lot of damage from this.
Kakashi and the others did not notice that when the Samezawa was paralyzed, a small snake sneaked into the soil from the sleeves of Samezawa and disappeared.
"Kinoe, are you going back to Konoha?" Kakashi suddenly asked.
Right now, the Iburi clan is killed, and Orochimaru has not appeared. He just sent a subordinate here, so Yamato's mission is obviously over, and Yamato also has no reason to stay here anymore. But there is still Yukimi who is all alone now.
After all, Yukimi is definitely not able to return to Konoha with him, because Yukimi is one of Orochimaru's subordinate, even if Orochimaru has abandoned her, the fact still won't changed.
Konoha will not allow such a person to live in the village. Therefore, Yukimi can't follow Yamato back to Konoha.
"I will go back too!" Yamato then said.
Kakashi was not surprised by this and said: "Then I will wait for you outside, you should hurry."
"Okay."
Seeing Yamato's consent, Kakashi went outside to wait. He knew that Yamato had something to say to Yukimi, so he didn't bother them.
Kakashi walked out of the cave, stood at the door of the cave and sighed softly.
The story has changed subtly, but it seems to have returned to its original track.
If there is a change, Kakashi can't help it. After all, it's impossible for him to be exactly the same as the original Kakashi. If the plot does change, Kakashi can only face it.
Sure enough, only when there is an absolute Strength, that he can calmly face any unknown fear.
Just as Kakashi was thinking about this, there was a loud cry from the cave.
"Yukimi! What happened to you?"
The voice is full of panic and helplessness.
Kakashi hearing this quickly get back into the cave.
The distance is not far, so Kakashi quickly arrive at that location.
He saw that the Yukimi was screaming in pain, and Yamato is now looking anxiously at Yukimi, he doesn't know what happened.
Samezawa that are bound by one side seems to have lost his life.
Seeing Kakashi, Yamato looks like he found a savior, and quickly asked: "Kakashi-senpai, can you please look at what happens to Yukimi?"
Kakashi didn't answer, but he quickly moves toward Yukimi and look at the back of her neck.
It really is a Cursed Seal!
Seeing Kakashi's action, Yamato is somewhat puzzled.
"Kakashi-senpai?"
"Kinoe, Yukimi has a Cursed Seal from Orochimaru inside her body."
"What do you mean?" asked Yamato inexplicably.
"Orochimaru's Cursed Seal. The integration of it will be very painful. If she could hold on, she will have a chance to get a terrifying Strength, but nine of the ten people will not survive."
"What? Yukimi got that kind of thing inside her body?" Yamato said urgently.
Kakashi doesn't say anything. Yamato is shocked, is it not possible to help her? Can he only just look at his companion dying when she was being experimented?
No! He won't let her die!
Yamato roars in his heart, he won't that situation happen!
Kakashi quietly looked at Yamato, Yukimi life or death is now based on Yamato's efforts, and Kakashi does not want to say anything at this time, as to avoid unnecessary changes.
If the original work, Yukimi is not dead, so he avoids saying anything.
Yukimi whose still screaming suddenly stops and lie quietly on the ground.
"Yukimi!"
Yamato cried in horror and ran to the side of Yukimi.
"Tenzo…" Yukimi saw him coming and want to say something, but she didn't have the strength to say anymore.
Yukimi's body then gradually became blurred, and then turned into a white smoke, slowly drifting upwards.
"Noooo!"
Yamato couldn't accept everything in front of him, and his Chakra start to rumble.
That's right! Wood Release is said to be a life-giving Ninjutsu, and it can definitely save Yukimi!
Yamato thought of this, so he starts to form hand seals.
"Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall!"
The giant wood appeared again, but this time it was not for Attack, but for guarding!
The wood quickly rose from the ground and continually chased the white smoke that was about to fly away, but the wood can't catch it.
"Dammit!"
Yamato did not give up, his chakra output increase more sharply, and sweat start to drip on Yamato's face. At this moment, the people of the Iburi clan who had passed away turn into white smoke and flew into the wooden wall that Yamato made.
Kakashi couldn't help but open his Sharingan to observe it!
"This is?" Kakashi was puzzled. There was a strange energy in the white smoke, but Kakashi didn't know what it was, but it was kind of familiar.
That's right! It is the power of soul!
The energy of this is very similar to the power of the soul that Kakashi saw when his soul is merging.
Thinking about this, Kakashi then close his Sharingan.
No wonder Yukimi can be resurrected. The Iburi clan member infused all their soul power into Yukimi's body, so that it can reshape the flesh and become the last hope of the Iburi family to survive.
The white smoke wrapped all the Wood that Yamato make, and also wrapped itself into Yukimi's white smoke, and finally it turned into a big tree with golden light, and Yukimi was reborn from the big tree.
Yamato excitedly shouted: "Yukimi!"
Yukimi open her eyes after hearing Yamato's voice and reveals a smile.
Kakashi also smiled. Fortunately, it was a happy ending.
In the woods, three people are standing near the front of the cave. Kakashi then said: "Yukimi, Kinoe, I will go back to the village first, I will not tell anything about happened here. You two can take care of it yourself."
"Thank you Kakashi-senpai."
"Thank you Kakashi nii-san. I will now walk on my own path."
"I believe you can do it. Oh yes Yukimi, come over here. I need tell you something."
Even if it's strange, Yukimi still come closer to Kakashi.
Yamato is very curious about what those two are saying, but Kakashi obviously did not intend to let Yamato hear it. So Yamato could not hear anything.
"I understand Kakashi nii-san."
"Good. Then I will leave now."
Kakashi left after he finishes, and soon he disappeared from this place.
In fact, what Kakashi said to Yukimi is that if she doesn't has any place to go, it is better to go to Ochagakure and find their leader, Ryuga. If she says that she is Kakashi's friend, Ryuga will take care of her.
Of course, Kakashi didn't say that Ryuga is his subordinate, and just tell her that Ryuga was his friend. Kakashi doesn't want any unnecessary trouble after all.
He only hopes that this can help her a little.
The scenery in front of him starts to change, and Kakashi once again set foot on the way back to Konoha.
