The Land of Swamps, in a certain forest.
Kakashi looked at the people in front of him and said, "The Sealed Shrine should be right ahead. It is already six o'clock in the afternoon. Soon, the night will fall. At that time, the so-called Ghost Army will become more active. Under normal circumstances, we should wait until dawn before acting, but we are running out of time, so we must complete the mission as soon as possible."
"Kakashi-sensei, don't worry! No matter how powerful the so-called Ghost Army is, we can definitely defeat them," Naruto said confidently.
"Naruto, you should wait until Kakashi-sensei finished speaking!" Sakura said helplessly.
"This... Hahaha."
Naruto gave a polite but awkward smile.
"These Ghost Army's strengths are equivalent to the Genin's, but their number is very large. It can be said that they are almost unlimited. Once we are surrounded by them, it will become very troublesome. But we only need to persist for half an hour. Our reinforcements will come by then, so half an hour is the time we want to buy."
"Kakashi-sensei, what are we going to do?" Neji asked.
Kakashi did not answer directly, but drew something on the ground with kunai.
"This is the location of the Sealed Shrine. What we have to do is to break through the blockade of the Ghost Army and send Shion to the entrance of the Sealed Shrine. Then, you guys will confront the enemy at the door, and you mustn't let the Ghost Army enter the Sealed Shrine. Oh, and I will escort Shion into the Sealed Shrine."
"You?" Shion said with some surprise at this time.
"Yeah, me. I heard that you foresaw the fate of Naruto's death. If so, I will deal with it."
"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto said anxiously.
He is not willing to let Kakashi replace him to be in danger.
"Don't worry, Naruto, I have my own measure. That Mōryō is not my opponent at all."
"Hmph, what an arrogant words." Shion coldly snorted and said.
"Shion-sama." Taruho with Shion's face on the side whispered.
This is the critical moment, not the time for conflict.
"Well, let's stop talking about that. Next, prepare to advance. Lee, your Strong Fist is the best suited and has the strongest melee combat ability, so you are responsible for opening the path ahead."
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei!" Lee answered.
"Sasuke, you will be with Lee to open the path ahead and use the most lethal Lightning Release."
"Yes!"
"Neji, your Byakugan has an all-round perspective. At the same time, you also have long-range attacks such as Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm, so you will be responsible for cleaning up the enemies that the others have missed."
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei!" Neji said respectfully.
"Sakura, you are in charge of treatment. Once someone is injured, heal them quickly. Otherwise, with so many enemies here, they will be killed."
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei! I understand!"
"Huh? Kakashi-sensei, what about me?" Naruto asked anxiously.
Kakashi smiled upon seeing this and said: "Naruto, your mission is the most important, using Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to clear all the enemies behind us."
"Yosh! I guaranteed to complete this mission!"
Everyone in Konoha arranged the content of the mission one after another, and the next thing was waiting for the start.
Shion looked at this scene with some surprise.
Sasuke and the others have also been with Shion for a while, so Shion knew that the personalities of these people can be said to be very different.
Moreover, the relationship between these people is also very complicated and unpredictable, but what is certain is that it is hard for them to be united.
Especially Neji and Sasuke, although they seem okay on the surface, they are actually competing secretly.
Because this time, the captain is Neji, not Sasuke.
This made Sasuke feel like he was worse than Neji.
This is something the proud Sasuke cannot tolerate.
Therefore, during the mission, Sasuke was showing off his abilities.
Although the overall situation was important when the mission is underway, and nothing went wrong, this kind of dissatisfaction was still clearly visible.
But at this time, these five people seemed to be obedient to the silver-white haired stranger who had just appeared in front of them, and did not have any opinions about being ordered.
Shion knew very well that the strengths of these five people were not weak.
So, how powerful is this person in front of them to make them admire so much?
Moreover, the most important point is that she can't seem to see his fate at all.
Even the previous prophecy about Naruto seems to have become blurred.
'Could it be that fate can really be changed?'
Shion was a little confused.
At this moment, Kakashi walked to the front of Taruho and said: "Are you Taruho?"
Seeing this, Taruho was taken aback, and said quickly: "Yeah, it is me."
"This time, you don't have to participate in this operation."
"Why?" Taruho asked confusedly.
"Although I admire your determination and will to protect Shion, this mission is very dangerous. I will be blunt, your combat power will not be of any use and may even slow down our progress. So, I am sorry."
"This..." Taruho didn't know what to say for a while.
If it is for other reasons, Taruho can still stick to his own ideas, but when he heard of this reason, Taruho simply does not know how to respond.
Yes, his strength is not enough. If he insists on following them, not only will he not help at all, but he will also drag them.
'But should I just give up my wish to protect Shion-sama?'
Taruho is really unwilling.
"Taruho, he is right. Don't be foolish anymore."
"But..."
"No, or do you want your incompetence to impede us?" Shion scolded angrily, then turned around, not looking at the face that looked exactly as hers.
How to say, cursing her own face feels really strange.
Taruho bit his lower lip and said, "I understand, Shion-sama."
Although Taruho knew that Shion was doing it for a good intention, but at this time, he was deeply annoyed by his own incompetence.
"Okay, let's go!" Kakashi said.
Immediately, Kakashi pulled Shion over and carried her on his back.
"Hey, you should be a little gentler," Shion said dissatisfiedly.
"Sorry," Kakashi said lightly.
When Shion saw Kakashi's indifferent dead fish eye, she instantly lost her words.
'This guy is really weird,' Shion murmured in her heart.
At this moment, everyone jumped forward and left the place one after another.
Taruho watched everyone leave and muttered: "Shion-sama, everything will go well. Everyone of Konoha, everything depends on you."
The Sealed Shrine!
Outside the shrine entrance was densely packed with the Ghost Army.
When Kakashi saw these Ghost Army, he was speechless.
'Aren't these terracotta warriors?'
