My Sign-in System in Naruto

"Even I'm being dragged into this."

Kakashi couldn't help but complain internally, but the atmosphere at the scene left him no room to refuse.

When Haru suggested that Uchiha Itachi join in as well, Kakashi's gaze naturally shifted to him.

Although Itachi also referred to Kakashi as "Captain Kakashi," Kakashi felt there was nothing he could teach him.

Whether it was strength, intelligence-gathering abilities, or the mindset of a shinobi, Kakashi believed there was no more perfect ninja at Itachi's age.

However, Kakashi didn't think Itachi would actually participate.

It was just a gut feeling.

But to Kakashi's surprise, Itachi walked over and stood behind him.

In truth, Itachi wasn't particularly interested in this mock battle.

In his eyes, this was just Yako venting her frustration over Kakashi being replaced as captain. She wanted to defeat Haru and make him realize he wasn't fit to lead the team.

For a ninja, such emotions were unnecessary.

Even though Yako had only recently joined the Anbu, it was hard to understand why she felt this way.

But now that things had escalated to this point, with even Kakashi and Tenzo joining in, Itachi found himself somewhat intrigued.

Perhaps he could take advantage of Haru's half-joking invitation to see what Haru was truly capable of.

"Even you…"

Kakashi's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He had thought Itachi would never participate.

"Captain Kakashi," Itachi said, looking at Haru, "since this is a practical training exercise, we should probably come up with a strategy."

It had to be said, Itachi's sudden involvement excited Yako.

Although she didn't consider Itachi as strong as Kakashi, he was still a top-tier genius among the younger generation of the Uchiha clan.

Without exaggeration, Yako believed Itachi was stronger than many elite jonin.

His strength was likely second only to Kakashi and Tenzo.

With such a powerful ally joining them, Haru's defeat was all but guaranteed.

What's more, as the situation grew increasingly unfavorable for Haru, more and more Anbu members began to take notice.

After all, the Hidden Leaf Village was currently in a period of peace.

As the village's Anbu, they received far fewer missions than during wartime.

And now, it happened to be their rest period.

The challenge initiated by Yako naturally attracted a lot of attention.

However, many of the onlookers were also confused by what they were seeing.

"Who is that guy?" one of the observing Anbu members couldn't help but ask his companion.

"Let me check," the other ninja quickly flipped through an intelligence handbook but found no information about Haru.

No photo, no name, not even a record of completed missions.

"Blank…"

"He seems to have been directly appointed as the Anbu captain by the Third Hokage."

Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, an Anbu member who had just arrived spoke up.

His voice immediately drew the attention of the crowd.

Everyone turned to him, eager to hear more.

"That's all I know."

The Anbu member cleared his throat awkwardly, explaining that he had only overheard their conversation on the way.

Apparently, Haru had been parachuted into the position of captain, replacing Kakashi, which had upset Yako and the others, leading to the current situation.

"In the world of shinobi, orders are absolute. How can you challenge a new captain just because you don't like him?"

At that moment, even the captain of another Anbu squad was drawn to the commotion.

After briefly understanding the situation, he immediately criticized Yako for her absurd behavior.

"But… why is Kakashi also…"

However, when he heard that Kakashi hadn't stopped Yako and had instead joined in, his mood became subtle.

"Not just Kakashi, it seems even Tenzo and Uchiha Itachi are involved…"

Someone else in the crowd chimed in.

"What?"

The Anbu captain's eyes widened in shock at this information.

Not only Kakashi, but even Tenzo and Uchiha Itachi…

If you were to pick the most renowned ninjas in the Anbu, Kakashi, Tenzo, and Uchiha Itachi would undoubtedly be at the top of the list.

Kakashi, the Copy Ninja, who could replicate any technique in an instant.

Tenzo, the only one capable of reviving the First Hokage's Wood Release. Beyond knowing he had transferred from Root, little else was known about him. He was shrouded in mystery.

Itachi, the genius of the Uchiha clan's younger generation, who had participated in the Third Great Ninja War at the age of four, became a chunin at eight, and joined the Anbu at eleven.

The three of them standing together was undoubtedly the most elite combination in the Hidden Leaf's Anbu, bar none!

With such a lineup, the Anbu captain couldn't imagine them losing.

In fact, not just him, every Anbu member gathered there was equally convinced.

This Haru guy, who had appeared out of nowhere and didn't know his place, was about to experience the most crushing defeat of his life.

"How tragic…"

The Anbu captain shook his head, casting a pitying glance at Haru. "This guy has no idea what he's gotten himself into."

Even if he only had to face one of Kakashi, Tenzo, or Itachi, Haru wouldn't stand a chance, let alone all three plus four other Anbu members.

This guy…

He had no idea what kind of monsters he was dealing with.

"Wait, is this guy seriously planning to take on Kakashi, Tenzo, Itachi, and four other Anbu members at the same time?!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed, causing everyone to gasp.

Due to various reasons, not everyone had gathered here at the same time.

So many assumed that Haru was facing Kakashi and the others in a series of one-on-one battles.

But to their astonishment, Kakashi made a gesture indicating a group attack.

Aside from Tenzo and Itachi standing on Kakashi's left and right, the remaining ninjas positioned themselves on Haru's sides and behind him.

It was a classic encirclement formation.

"They're actually ganging up on him?!"

The Anbu captains present all gasped. Even as seasoned veterans, they would never entertain such a foolish idea.

However, before they could recover from their shock, Kakashi made another move that left them stunned.

Facing Haru in an encirclement formation, the famous Copy Ninja Kakashi actually adjusted his forehead protector, revealing the Sharingan eye hidden beneath!

In other words, even in a seven-on-one situation, Kakashi was…

Being overly cautious!
