Kakashi thought for a moment, and he couldn't understand his own thoughts.
In the end, he could only say, "Maybe I just don't want to see too many people sacrifice themselves."
After thinking it over, this was all Kakashi could come up with.
According to written power levels, Hiruko had four types of Kekkei Genkai, and since he declared war on the Great Ninja Villages, his strength must be incredibly strong.
Under such circumstances, Kakashi's willingness to sacrifice himself for the safety of the ninja world made sense.
"You're not Hokage. The safety of the ninja world isn't something you should worry about."
Sakumo was very dissatisfied with Kakashi's decision.
"Father's right."
Kakashi understood his father's thoughts and also felt that his actions were foolish, so he didn't argue with Sakumo.
"Even if you want to sacrifice yourself, you should get married and have at least one or two kids first."
"...."
Kakashi completely didn't want to speak anymore.
Being urged to marry in front of so many people made him feel extremely awkward.
Instinctively, he looked towards Rin.
"Idiot, what are you looking at?"
When Kakashi's gaze shifted, Obito, like a wild cat protecting its food, fluffed up his fur and shielded Rin behind him.
"Uh, I'm looking at a handsome guy."
Obito didn't expect Kakashi to say that, and was about to respond but instantly stuttered.
"Even if you say I'm handsome, I still—"
"I think you misunderstood."
Kakashi interrupted Obito and pointed to Asuma, who was in the same direction as Obito, saying, "I'm talking about Asuma."
Asuma: Huh?
"You bastard, Kakashi, you're messing with me again."
"Heh, you brought it upon yourself. Can't blame me for that."
"."
Rin, who was protected behind Obito, saw the two bickering like they did when they were kids and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh quietly.
[After waiting for a long time, Hiruko finally got the chance for Kakashi to arrive.]
[As soon as they met, he couldn't wait to remove his pants, not, and started absorbing Kakashi.]
[During the absorption, as expected, he fell into Tsunade's trap, and Kakashi's Mangekyo and Tsunade's techniques sent him to another dimension.]
Obito: That's my Sharingan!
[Thankfully, when Naruto saved Kakashi, Hiruko also got saved along with him, which ended Kakashi's one-for-one plan.]
[After being saved, he immediately dropped to the ground, gasping for breath, constantly thanking Naruto.]
[It turns out all his earlier scheming was just a façade. With such tricks, where did he get the courage to start the Fourth Great Ninja War?]
[After the thanks, realizing he failed to absorb Kakashi, he immediately began his useless rampage. Right there, he stripped off his clothes and changed his appearance.]
[He wrapped himself in mummy bandages and removed his mask, revealing his huge, cracked mouth.]
[Usually, when a villain gets ugly, death isn't far away.]
[He summoned his subordinates to hold off the arriving ninja reinforcements and used his Lightning Style to perform a knock-off version of Kirin, sending lightning to control the battlefield.]
[At the same time, he used his Absorption ability from the Dark Release, instantly destroying all of Naruto's shadow clones and Rasengan.
On the screen, Hiruko unleashed full force, and a massive dark-colored shield emerged from his body.
As soon as this shield appeared, it began to expand outward. Wherever it passed, Naruto's shadow clones, who were forming Rasengan, were instantly turned to smoke.
"Hiruko's power seems pretty impressive."
He instantly wiped out hundreds or even thousands of Naruto's shadow clones. The power was indeed remarkable.
The more Orochimaru watched the screen, the more he became interested in Hiruko's "Chimera Technique."
It was possible that this technique could be the key to the bloodline clone project he was working on.
Jiraiya: "By the way, when we fought Hiruko, why was it just us from Konoha and Sand? Why weren't there people from Cloud, Mist, or Stone?"
The same question was asked by the small Jiraiya in Tobirama's office.
"Is it strange? After all, Hiruko is a rogue ninja from Konoha. Of course, it's up to us to deal with him," said Senju Hashirama vaguely.
To avoid confusion, Senju Tobirama added:
"For rogue ninjas like him, they often have knowledge of their own village's information. In order to prevent these secrets from being known by other ninja villages, a tacit rule was established. The rule is that whoever's rogue ninja it is, that village is responsible for handling it.
Even if something unexpected happens, and another village kills a rogue ninja from a different village, when the other village asks for the rogue's body, it's generally handed over, not kept, to prevent information from being extracted from the corpse."
"This kind of behavior looks like provocation from the perspective of other villages. Unless they want to find an excuse to start a war, no one would act like this."
"I see, the other three great ninja villages in the screen probably didn't want Konoha to misunderstand, so they didn't intervene, right?"
"Yeah, actually, there's another possibility. They might want to see Konoha and Hiruko both suffer, so they can sit back and reap the benefits."
"I understand now."
[Hiruko's powerful strength left a strong impression on Naruto. In the subsequent battle, the two fought fiercely.]
[Until our brother Kakashi activated his passive: it's always a 50/50 fight.]
[Once Kakashi's passive kicked in, he was relentless, stalling Hiruko for a moment. Naruto instantly disappeared into the clouds and used a move from the sky called: "The Movie-Style Undisciplined Serpent Wind Release Rasengan."]
[According to the setting, while this move is powerful, it's still just wind release.]
[Hiruko, with his advanced bloodline limit, didn't even flinch, but somehow, his Reincarnation Jutsu couldn't pull in the attack and was instead sent back to its original form, which was just absurd.]
[At this moment, Kakashi stepped in and supported Hiruko.]
[When a person is about to die, they speak kindly.]
[The dying Hiruko said he had never learned that phrase and told Kakashi, "I just wanted to use your Sharingan to achieve immortality. What did I do wrong?"]
[To translate: what Kakashi lost was his life, but what Hiruko lost was his happiness.]
Obito: "I'll say it again, that Sharingan is mine!"
[Afterward, a bunch of nonsense was spoken to clear things up, and Hiruko died in Kakashi's tender embrace.]
"Hiruko's death seems a bit rushed."
The last villain they thought died too hastily was Sasori from the Akatsuki organization.
"Is this considered the victory of the protagonist's halo? The Dark Release can't absorb Wind Style? That's a bit too ridiculous."
"If we really need an explanation, it can actually be explained."
At this point, Jiraiya cleared his throat before continuing, "As everyone knows, the Rasengan Shuriken is a powerful ninjutsu that can directly attack human cells. The Dark Release, on the other hand, can only absorb regular attack chakra. A ninjutsu like Rasengan Shuriken, which targets human cells, can't be absorbed by it. That makes sense."
Once Jiraiya finished speaking, Orochimaru added, "Also, the Dark Release can't absorb a large amount of chakra in a short time. The chakra used by the Rasengan Shuriken is not only vast but also violent. It's actually reasonable that Hiruko couldn't absorb it all at once."
With Jiraiya and Orochimaru's forced explanation, Hiruko's death didn't seem too absurd after all.
As long as it makes sense, that's all that matters.
