Iwagakure's squad.
"Did Sakata's traps work? I felt that the rescue squad Konoha sent this time will be good." said Inoue, the captain of Iwagakure's squad.
"Don't worry, Captain. Sakata is a trap expert, and the traps he set up are enough for Konoha's rescue squad to suffer a little." Yamabuki said.
"I hope so."
Inoue looked at the squad beside him, there were as many as ten people, and Sakata, who had left to set traps before, made a total of eleven people.
Right now, they have one important thing to do.
That is, to bring the nearby Konoha captive next to him back to Iwagakure.
"Everyone, hold on, as long as we pass through this forest, we can leave the territory of the Land of Fire, and the people sent by Tsuchikage-sama will take us back to Iwagakure safely. At that time, there is nothing to worry about Konoha's people. " said Inoue.
"Yes, Captain!"
At this moment, a Iwagakure's Shinobi rushed over from behind.
"Captain, I am back."
"Sakata, have you finished setting the traps?" asked Inoue.
"Yeah, the area covered is very large. I believe Konoha's Shinobi will never be able to easily break through. We have enough time to leave here," said Sakata.
"Well done. As long as we bring back this member of Konoha's intelligence squad, Tsuchikage-sama will be able to understand Konoha's current situation. By that time, we can finally know clearly what happened to Konoha who lost their Yondaime Hokage."
"Captain, does Tsuchikage-sama want to attack Konoha again?" Sakata asked curiously.
Inoue glanced at Sakata and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Just do what we're told."
Hearing this, Sakata said: "Yes, I understand."
"Okay, enough resting. Everyone, let's leave!"
Hearing this, Iwagakure's Shinobi got up one after another and ready to leave.
Sakata came to Shiranui Rin's side and helped her up.
"Sakata, what do you doing? I'm the one who should take care of the prisoner." Yamabuki said.
"That, it's because I saw Yamabuki-san is working hard, so I want to help." Sakata diligently said with a smile.
"You brat sure has a good heart, then I'll leave it to you." Yamabuki patted Sakata on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"No problem, don't worry."
Sakata said while patting his chest, trying to assure Yamabuki.
When everyone started moving, Sakata unknowingly walked on the back.
Yamabuki caught up with Inoue and advanced beside him.
Seeing this, Inoue said with some doubts: "Yamabuki, why did you come here? Didn't I tell you to take care of the prisoner?"
"Captain, Sakata said that he wanted to help me take care of the prisoner, so I asked him to do it."
"What!"
Hearing this, Inoue was startled, and stopped quickly and stood on a branch.
"What's wrong?"
Yamabuki also stopped and asked in confusion.
Inoue did not answer, but looked back directly, only to see that Sakata was holding Shiranui Rin and is at the end.
Without saying a word, Inoue threw a kunai!
Sakata showed a terrified expression, and the kunai instantly stabbed into his chest!
"Captain! What are you doing?" Yamabuki asked in confusion.
Inoue's expression became even more ugly.
In the next moment, Sakata turned into smoke with a bang, and even Shiranui Rin also turned into smoke and disappeared.
"What!" Yamabuki exclaimed in shock.
Everyone was equally shocked.
"Sure enough, that Sakata just now was an impostor. Damn, I didn't find any flaws just now. How did he behave exactly like Sakata? Even if he used Transformation Technique to change his appearance, it is impossible to achieve this level." Inoue murmured.
"Captain, what should we do now?" Yamabuki asked.
"Just now, that Sakata should be pretending to follow us while we were leaving, and at the same time, created the shadow clones and changed its appearance into this, and now, his real body should be running with the prisoner. Those who can do such things is definitely not simple. But with the injured prisoner, they can't run far! We will chase after them!"
"Yes!"
The Iwagakure's Shinobi quickly responded and hurriedly turned around to chase.
On the other hand, Kakashi returned to his squad with Shiranui Rin.
That's right, the Sakata just now was Kakashi who changed his appearance!
After Hyuga Kaze cleared the traps before, Kakashi's squad speeded up with all their strength, and soon found Sakata who had set up the traps.
Kakashi didn't say a word and attacked him directly.
Sakata is an expert in traps, but his strength is only at Chunin-level.
In Kakashi's hands, it is simply not enough.
Before Sakata could speak, he was subdued by Kakashi.
After using the normal Sharingan's Genjutsu, Kakashi was able to get information from Sakata easily.
After that, Kakashi changed his appearance into Sakata's, and went deep into the Iwagakushi's squad, and rescued Shiranui Rin.
Seeing Kakashi's return, the three were overjoyed.
"Captain! You succeeded!" Hyuga Kaze joyfully said.
"We have to leave quickly. The clones I left can't deceive them for too long, and I'm afraid they have already discovered it. We must flee as fast as possible now!" Kakashi said.
"Yes!"
The three responded in unison and run back to Konoha.
Not long after they left, information suddenly flashed in Kakashi's mind.
'Has it been discovered? It's faster than expected. It seems that the leader of the other party is not stupid.' Kakashi secretly thought.
Immediately, Kakashi looked at the three people beside him.
'If this continues, I am afraid we will be caught up.'
When he changed into Sakata just now, Kakashi had already seen the strength of the opponent.
There are ten people in total, and there are as many as three Jōnin.
Moreover, the remaining seven are not weak Chunin.
At this scale, Kakashi did not dare to fight them head-on.
But if he didn't leave people to delay for time, the whole squad will be wiped out.
At that time, Iwagakure would obtain the information from Shiranui Rin, and Konoha would be in big trouble.
Soon, Kakashi made a decision.
"Kaze, here."
Kakashi said while throwing Shiranui Rin to Hyuga Kaze.
Hyuga Kaze was taken aback for a moment, but he still catches her.
"Captain?" Hyuga Kaze asked in confusion.
"Kaze, you and Saburo shall go back with Shiranui Rin. Me and Guy will stay to hold the enemy back."
"This..."
Hyuga Kaze hesitated, but Aburame Saburo said directly: "Yes, Captain!"
Immediately after, Aburame Saburo pulled Hyuga Kaze and left.
Hyuga Kaze said puzzledly: "Saburo, how can we leave Captain and Guy?"
"Idiot, Captain's experience is much richer than you. The decision he made is naturally the most suitable for the current situation. If you hesitate at this time, you will only waste time and the losses would be even greater."
"But...they..."
"This is Shinobi!"
Aburame Saburo's words hit Hyuga Kaze like a heavy hammer.
Hyuga Kaze, who had never experienced a war, understood the meaning of these words at this time.
