Chapter 241

Kakashi and Hyuga Kagami concealed themselves tightly in the shadows, their hearts hammering like drums against their ribs with every beat. Their gazes were as sharp as falcons, locked firmly onto the tense situation ahead without a single trace of laxity. Not far away, a squad of Sunagakure marched in neat, uniform strides, their gear exquisite and gleaming, showcasing their formidable strength. Although they scanned their surroundings with vigilance, they remained completely unaware of the abyss-like, vicious ambush carefully laid by Kumogakure. Meanwhile, the Kumogakure ninja were already primed for action. Dressed in meticulously disguised Iwagakure ninja attire that looked almost authentic enough to deceive anyone, and wearing custom-fitted masks, they crouched like bloodthirsty hunters lying in wait in the dark, quietly awaiting the optimal moment to pounce on their prey like lightning.
