"You know.. compared to Sasuke, isn't he a bit weak?" - Ukon said with a dark expression
"That's because this isn't the real Itachi." - Eiji
"You keep saying that, but-wait .. who is it?" - Ukon
"I told you so." - Eiji shrugged his shoulders: " Anyway, let's keep following them."
After defeating "Itachi", Team Kakashi and Chiyo rush towards Gaara before Akatsuki finishes taking out Shukaku. But it was late, so they decided to camp that night.
Chiyo sits in front of the campfire and thinks about her past, especially her grandson Sasori, when Kakashi comes to her.
"Let's finish our break soon, but before that, I'll be out for a bit." - Kakashi
"Get out a minute, huh?" - Chiyo
Kakashi's expression turned serious and approached and said in a low voice: "For some time now, I feel we are being followed. I want to make sure it's true."
"!" - Chiyo nodded imperceptibly and continued to stare at the bonfire, but she was alert and prepared in case anything happened.
On top of the tree, Eiji was lying on a bed made of summoned snakes, while Ukon was looking at him with envy.
"Can't you make me too?" - Ukon
"No, it is necessary to save my chakra in case something happens." - Eiji
"Then why did you make one for you?" - Ukon
"To protect me from a surprise attack, or do you think this should be a bed?" - Eiji
"You're fucking-" - he stopped because Eiji suddenly woke up with a serious expression.
"It looks like we've been caught." - Eiji removes his snake bed while thinking: 'Is that Neji with his Byakugan? No, Team Kakashi should have only met Team Guy the next day, so he wasn't within range...'
Suddenly a kunai flew towards Eiji, but because he was alert he dodged it.
"I thought Akatsuki was following us but I thought it was" the Lost Hokage "and Orochimaru's henchman." - the figure showed himself and took a combat-ready position.
"So you're Kakashi.. How did you know? I'm sure we're beyond detection range." - Eiji smiled amusedly, but moved the rich kimono with his hand, to reveal his sword.
"Intuition, huh? That's Kakashi for you... I'm honored that the famous Kakashi Hatake wants to fight me, but don't you think your priorities are wrong? Shouldn't you just go after Akatsuki?" - Eiji
"Because I don't know what your plans are or why you're following us, it would be too dangerous to ignore the two of you." - Kakashi
"You want to know why we followed you?" - Eiji took out a scroll and threw it towards Kakashi.
"As you can see, we are with Shiki Ryuu. We will not interfere with your Akatsuki business, we are here just to gather information." - Eiji
"Shiki Ryuu's? While it's true, you two are wanted by Konoha, so I can't just—"
"HIAHAHAHA!!! FINALLY, I CAN HAVE FUN!! I'M TIRED OF JUST WATCHING WAR!!!" - Ukon who has a crazy expression attacks Kakashi while activating his level 1 curse mark.
"NO! UKON STOP!!" - Eiji gritted his teeth.
'This crazy bastard.' - he knows now, that fights are inevitable.
"Huh..I think we did the usual thing right?" - Eiji summoned a small snake and threw it towards Ukon, who had already attacked Kakashi with taijutsu.
'What is he planning?' - Kakashi is wary of the snake and makes sure to stay out of reach.
Ukon stops his attack to catch the snake, but Kakashi will not let such an opportunity go to waste and attacks with Chidori at Ukon and penetrates his chest.
"It's over." - Kakashi looked at Ukon and with his Sharingan, it seemed like Kakashi could peer into Ukon's soul at that moment.
"Huh, I really don't want to do this. Can we keep talking about this, Kakashi?" - when he said Eiji fired a wind bullet from his finger to keep Kakashi away from Ukon.
After Kakashi had to dodge a wind bullet, Ukon saw a hole in his chest area.
"!" - Kakashi knew something was wrong.
Instead of having an expression like one who was about to die, Ukon instead smiled crazily.
And then he saw it, Ukon's chest area looked to be regenerating at an incredible speed!
'This will be a little problematic.' - Kakashi first looked towards Ukon, then towards Eiji who was still just watching.
