"Shikaku-sensei, what should we do next? We don't know where these people came from but their strength is really powerful." Uchiha Houten said.
"Houten, don't worry, I have already asked the village for help, so there will be reinforcements coming soon." Shikaku said with a smile.
"Really? That's great!" Uchiha Houten joyfully said.
"Speaking of which, this reinforcement is someone that Jūgo and Karin very familiar with." Shikaku said, looking at the two people who were silent.
Karin and Jūgo were stunned when they heard this, and they were a little puzzled.
Karin then said: "Someone that I and Jūgo very familiar with? Is there anyone like that in Konoha? Naruto has left Konoha with Jiraiya-sama for almost two years, and no one knows where Kakashi-nii went to. ..."
It seems that a certain possibility appeared in Karin's and Jūgo's mind. At this moment, they showed happy expression.
At this time, the reinforcements coming over naturally cannot be Naruto. Although they didn't know how strong Naruto is after training for these two years, they know that he certainly does not have the strength to solve their current predicament. Then, there is only one person left in Karin's and Jūgo's mind!
"Is it Kakashi-nii?" Karin asked in surprise.
Shikaku smiled and nodded, "Yes, it is Kakashi."
"Really? That's great!" Karin said joyfully, and at the same time, she looked at Shigeo and said, "Jūgo! Kakashi-nii is back!"
" Yeah! Kakashi-nii is finally back!"
The two have never left Kakashi for so long since they followed Kakashi back to Konoha. Even if Kakashi went out before, it was never as long as this time.
Moreover, usually Kakashi will write a letter to them from time to time when he left, but this time, he didn't send anything.
It's like Kakashi suddenly disappeared from this world.
Had it not been for Kakashi's strength and that these two had enough confidence in Kakashi, they would really think that Kakashi is in trouble.
"Ah! What a mess!"
Karin suddenly shouted, making the other three people looked at her strangely.
Shikaku asked: "What's wrong?"
Karin then said with a weeping expression: "When Kakashi-nii left back then, he told us that he hoped that after he came back, we would all become Jonin, but right now, me and Jūgo are still Chunin.
After hearing this, Jūgo also remember about this matter, and felt a little uneasy.
"Yeah! I almost forget about it! We let Kakashi-nii down." Jūgo said as his expression also changed.
Seeing this, Shikaku was taken aback and immediately said with a smile: "Do not worry, Kakashi will not blame you. After all, he said that he will be back after three years. So it's not your fault as this is still two years."
"That's true, but for us to not complete the goal given by Kakashi-nii, I still feel a little unwilling." Karin muttered.
"Don't worry, none of your generation have become a Jōnin, so Kakashi won't blame you. Besides, becoming a Jōnin not only needs strength, it also needs accumulation of completing missions. Although your strength is almost enough, your mission accumulation is still not enough," Shikaku said.
It is true that there is a Chunin Exam for promotion to become a Chunin, but there is no Jōnin exam for the promotion to become a Jōnin.
On one hand, because Chunin is already the main strength component of a village, holding the Jōnin Exam will inevitably lead to death to a lot of Chunin.
No Shinobi Village would be happy to see such unnecessary casualties.
On the other hand, the transition from Chunin to Jōnin is not only a matter of strength, but also an issue of experience.
Naruto in the original work has become the strongest person after fighting Kaguya, but he didn't directly become a Jōnin. It is because he still didn't have enough experience to become a Jōnin.
It can be seen that the gap between Jōnin and Chunin is mainly not in strength, but in experience.
Of course, to accumulate the experience to become a Jōnin, the mission taken needs the strength of a Jōnin to complete.
Therefore, there is no fear that Chunin without strength will become a Jōnin.
Although Shikaku's explanation is true, Karin and Jūgo still feel a little worried.
Shikaku felt a little helpless when he saw this. Kakashi's position in these two's minds are too high, that's why this situation happens.
In this regard, Shikaku can only express envy.
After all, it is a happy thing to get such admiration from the younger generation.
'Then why, as your instructor, I don't see you being so caring about what I say!'
Shikaku couldn't help but silently complain in his heart.
Karin and Jūgo are caught in the emotions of expectation and fear, and cannot calm themselves. At this moment, Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura are already on their way to the Land of Flowers.
Suddenly, Kakashi stopped and said, "The Land of Flowers is in front of us."
Sasuke and Sakura also stopped when they heard this.
Seeing the scenery in front of her, Sakura exclaimed: "Wow! So beautiful! The name is really fitting, at first glance, there are flowers all over the place!"
The Land of Flowers is called this is because the environment here is very suitable for flower planting, so there are countless flowers blooming all year round, decorating this country.
And this kind of beautiful scenery, for most women, is irresistible.
"It is indeed a very beautiful country," Kakashi exclaimed.
When Kakashi traveled back then, he also came to this country. He was also surprised by the country's appearance when he saw it for the first time.
If it weren't for things that need to be done, Kakashi really wanted to live in this country.
Well, as for Sasuke, he didn't feel much even after seeing the beautiful scenery.
"Okay, let's go. Shikaku-senpai is still waiting for us."
"Yes! Kakashi-sensei." Sasuke and Sakura said in unison.
Just when the three of them were about to enter the Land of Flowers, Kakashi heard something and immediately said, "Be careful! There is an enemy attack!"
Sasuke and Sakura immediately increased their vigilance upon hearing this, and formed a d-shaped formation with Kakashi!
"Oh? Very good perception, it seems that this time is not a normal trash."
A low voice sounded, and then eight Shinobi suddenly appeared, surrounding Team Kakashi.
"Who are you?" Kakashi said while frowning.
'The three of us have not entered the Land of Flowers, and yet, we have been ambushed. Just how bad is the situation in the Land of Flowers?'
"Who am I? You don't need to know, because soon, you will become a dead person! Hahaha! "
The person who spoke is a middle-aged Shinobi, with a strong body and an arrogant appearance.
Hearing this, Sasuke said with disdain: "Just with you guys?"
"Little brat, you sure are very arrogant. Let me show you how I sent you all to hell! Everyone, attack!" The middle-aged shinobi shout.
Upon seeing this, Kakashi knew that it would be impossible to avoid the battle.
"Sasuke, Sakura, leave that man to me, as for the rest, you can do whatever you want!"
"Yes! Kakashi-sensei!"
As soon as the voice fell, the three of them scattered in an instant!
