After sleeping groggily for a whole night, when he finally climbed out of bed in the morning, Satoru Hyūga still felt sore all over his body.

 "I didn't expect the aftereffects of Tyrant Mode to be so persistent. Most of my chakra has already recovered, but the muscle injuries still need some time to recuperate."

 Grinning slightly, Satoru Hyūga supported the head of the bed with one hand and kept rubbing his side with the other. If anyone saw him like this, they'd surely wonder if he'd had a fierce "battle" last night and was completely worn out.

 After simply finishing his breakfast, Satoru Hyūga finally felt his body recover a bit. He sighed and said, "I'll slow down the cultivation progress these few days. It's not too late to continue after my body recovers in a few days."

 There were still a few days until the next mission he had agreed on with Shibi Aburame. With nothing to do, Satoru Hyūga came to the street.

 At this moment, the village was bustling with activity. Children could be seen playing and chasing each other on the street. Satoru Hyūga looked at the sky outside the village, his eyes filled with melancholy.

 How long could such peaceful days last? I'm afraid the Third Shinobi World War is not far off.

 If it were before, Satoru Hyūga would definitely not allow himself the slightest bit of slack. War was like the sword of Damocles hanging over his head, constantly weighing him down.

 However, the Tyrant Mode he accidentally developed yesterday gave him a bit of confidence in the face of the unknown future.

 "It's been a long time since I last ate Ichiraku Ramen."

 Stealing some time from a busy schedule was also a kind of fun. Satoru Hyūga smiled.

 Just then, he saw Anko running towards him out of breath not far away.

 "Something's wrong, Satoru! Rin and Kakashi are fighting!"

 The smile on Satoru Hyūga's face instantly froze.

 "That white-haired kid is the son of Lord White Fang, right?"

 "It should be. I heard that he is the most outstanding genius among the new generation in the village. That Uchiha kid has actually held out for so long. She doesn't seem to be an easy one to deal with."

 "Humph, the Uchiha kid and the son of Lord White Fang. This is really exciting…"

 In front of the mission management office, at some point, ninjas had formed a circle and were discussing with sounds of admiration.

 The Tantō sliced through a white semi-arc, clashing with Kunai at a speed barely perceptible to the naked eye.

 The scarlet Sharingan spun rapidly. After blocking a Zangei, Uchiha Rin's expression grew even more solemn.

 Kakashi's sword skills were extremely fierce. Each Zangei aimed directly at her weak points. If it weren't for the assistance of the Sharingan, she might have already been defeated.

 "This guy has actually improved his strength so quickly."

 Uchiha Rin couldn't help but grit her teeth slightly. She had been competing with Kakashi since ninja academy. She never thought that a few years after graduating, the gap between them would actually grow wider.

 "What's wrong with Kakashi? Even if Rin mentioned his father, he doesn't have to be so ruthless, right?"

 Neji Hyūga in the crowd looked anxious. Both of them were his classmates. Suddenly seeing them fight, he didn't know what to do.

「I think I remember your name. It's Uchiha Rin, right? You shouldn't have mentioned that man's name. He was just a good - for - nothing who couldn't even complete a mission.」

「Tch!」 Uchiha Rin was really ticked off by Kakashi's words.

「In terms of strength, I highly respect Lord White Fang. But I never thought that his son would only be good at blowing hot air.」

「Damn it! I said you're not allowed to mention that man's name.」

Unexpectedly, just one sentence from Uchiha Rin made Kakashi fly into a rage. He jumped backward to create some distance and started forming hand seals at an extremely fast speed.

A shrill sound, like thousands of birds screeching, echoed. He held one wrist with the other hand, and lightning crackled on that hand.

「A Lightning Release ninjutsu? I wonder how it compares to my Fire Release.」

Uchiha Rin slightly narrowed her eyes and also started forming hand seals quickly. Fire - Phoenix Claw Creation Technique! A B - rank Fire Release ninjutsu, and currently the most powerful Fire Release ninjutsu she could use.

「It's that technique. Has Kakashi gone nuts?」

「This is too reckless. Isn't this technique still imperfect? Does he want to kill her?」

Some ninjas around recognized Kakashi's move and couldn't help but feel their hearts tighten.

A shrill thunderclap sounded, and Kakashi's body shot forward in a straight line, rushing towards Uchiha Rin at an extremely fast speed.

Uchiha Rin completed the last hand seal. There was no trace of fear on her face, only a strong fighting spirit. Her chakra surged up to her throat, turning into a scorching breath.

Suddenly.

Slap!

A dull sound of flesh hitting flesh rang out. The palm surrounded by lightning stopped one meter in front of Uchiha Rin. The latter slightly parted her lips, and the scorching Fire Release was just about to be spat out any second now.

「So close. I made it in time.」

Satoru Hyūga secretly let out a sigh of relief. Due to the intense movement, the muscles that hadn't fully recovered were pulled, causing a sharp pain, and he couldn't help but grimace slightly.

At this moment, his right hand tightly grabbed Kakashi's wrist, and the other shoulder pressed against his chest, forcefully blocking his attack.

「Satoru, why did you come?」 Uchiha Rin looked astonished.

Then, as if she remembered something, a hint of irritation tinged with anger appeared on her face.

「Hey, do you know how dangerous that was just now? My Fire Release was about to be unleashed any second now.」

Satoru Hyūga endured the pain in his muscles, gritted his teeth slightly and said to Uchiha Rin, 「It would've been a mess if I hadn't come.」

His gaze flicked a glance at Kakashi's right palm, with a hint of shock lingering. Chidori, an A - rank Lightning Release! Had Kakashi already developed this technique? But he probably couldn't fully master it yet.

If he hadn't blocked this move, Uchiha Rin would have really been in danger!

At the same time, Kakashi also turned his gaze towards Satoru Hyūga who had suddenly appeared.

「You noticed the weakness of my Chidori and cunningly blocked my attack with your body. The Byakugan, huh? No wonder you could do such a thing.」

After seeing Satoru Hyūga's eyes, Kakashi showed a thoughtful expression.

「What the hell happened? Why'd you suddenly start fighting?」

Uchiha Rin glanced at Kakashi. "I was just checking at the mission management office to see if there were any suitable missions. I happened to run into this guy. I was going to say hello. I casually mentioned his father during the conversation, and then we just started fighting."

Even now, she still couldn't figure out how she ended up fighting with Kakashi.

Is that so?

Satoru Hyūga nodded thoughtfully. He had thought that given Uchiha Rin's temper, she would be the one to make the first move and provoke, but unexpectedly, it was Kakashi who started it.

"I've already said, don't mention that man in front of me. He's just a useless person who couldn't even complete a mission," Kakashi said coldly, showing no emotion.

"Look at this," Uchiha Rin shrugged helplessly.

Satoru Hyūga couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that Kakashi at this time still hadn't gotten over the pain of that incident.

That's right. From time to time in the village, he had heard that Kakashi didn't get along with his teammates and even fought. It wasn't until later when he got mixed up with Obito that he slowly came out of it.

Suddenly, Kakashi pointed his sword at Satoru Hyūga and said indifferently.

"Since you blocked the attack for her, then you'll be my opponent."

In an instant, the atmosphere that had just eased up around them became tense again. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Satoru Hyūga.

"Satoru..." Anko tightly clenched her palm in worry.

"That bastard Kakashi, does he still consider his teammates?" Neji Hyūga spat loudly. If he didn't know he couldn't beat Kakashi, he probably would have wanted to punch him.

Satoru Hyūga looked extremely helpless. It seemed he was in a difficult situation. The pain in his body still hadn't subsided, and right now, his strength is less than 20% of his normal level.

However, if he didn't agree, Kakashi probably wouldn't let it go so easily. Besides, he also noticed a faint, prying gaze that had been firmly locked on this place.

Since that's the case...

Satoru Hyūga turned around and faced Kakashi directly, showing a serious expression.

"Let's get this straight first, Kakashi. Challenging me comes at a price. Be careful not to get killed by me."
