Hearing Yang Jiu's words, Kakashi felt a sense of unprecedented powerlessness.
He, the dignified Kakashi Hatake, Konoha's number one technician, the Copy Ninja, whose name as the "Five-Five-Split" resounded throughout the Ninja World—
was now, in front of this giant wolf, feeling as stifled as a trapped beast.
His full strength had nowhere to be unleashed.
Use Lightning Release?
The opponent was also a master of lightning.
Moreover, the power, speed, and level of control of that lightning were more than a notch above the Lightning Blade he had developed. In the opponent's eyes, his S-rank Ninjutsu was probably like fireworks set off by a child.
Use the Sharingan?
He could indeed capture some trajectories, but what if he did?
His body simply couldn't keep up.
That elusive movement speed was so fast that even his three-tomoe Sharingan could only perceive a blur.
What's more—
Kakashi's gaze swept over the four team members collapsed in the distance.
Hyuga Sosuke was still gasping for air, Inuzuka Hana and Kuro Maru were scorched black all over, and Akimichi Doto, Fu Yamanaka, and the others didn't even have the strength to stand up.
They were all in the opponent's hands.
Along with the dozen or so Konoha Ninja from before.
They were all in the opponent's hands.
How could he fight alone?
Escape?
Cold sweat beaded on Kakashi's forehead.
He couldn't escape.
If the opponent had wanted to kill him, that claw just now would not have tapped his shoulder, but would have pierced straight through his heart.
Silence.
A long silence.
Pakkun lay on his shoulder, not daring to breathe.
Finally—
Kakashi took a deep breath.
He raised his head and looked in the direction where the silvery-white figure had disappeared.
Since he couldn't beat it and couldn't escape.
Then—
He would go and see.
Go and see the giant wolf's base camp.
Go and see exactly how many secrets it was hiding.
Perhaps...
He could find Kurenai Yuhi and the others.
"Fine, I'll go with you!"
Kakashi said in a deep voice.
Yang Jiu smiled. "Not bad. Those who submit to circumstances are wise."
After this, he had a basically clear understanding of his own strength.
Since a powerhouse like Kakashi, who had almost stepped into the Kage level, had no power to fight back in front of him, it could be said that his strength was not bad even among the Kage level.
This was mainly due to his Rumble ability, which was comparable to teleportation and possessed terrifying attack power, along with his terrifying sensory ability.
With these three combined, the Substitution Jutsu and Body Flicker Technique used by Ninjas like Kakashi were effectively useless in front of him.
Not to mention the Clone Jutsu; it was useless.
They couldn't even land an attack on him; it could be said that their full strength was completely suppressed.
Kakashi glanced at him, silent and saying nothing.
Then he patted Pakkun.
Pakkun looked at Yang Jiu fearfully, then with a "poof," turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared.
—
One hour later.
In Wolf Valley, in front of a newly completed building.
Yang Jiu looked at this special building in front of him, which he had bought from the mall for 3,000 points, and felt a dull ache in his heart.
3,000 points.
It was worth a two-tomoe Sharingan.
But it was worth it.
[Name: Sealing Cage]
[Effect: Creatures locked in the cage will have their Chakra completely suppressed, their Taijutsu ability reduced by 80%, and will be unable to use any Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, or Bloodline Limit.]
[Capacity: Can accommodate 50 people]
[Note: Produced by the system, absolute suppression.]
In order to imprison Kakashi and this group of Elite Chunin, he had to painfully buy this cage.
There was no other way; if they were just locked in a cave...
If they were to recover, with so many Elite Chunin, plus a Special Jonin like Kurenai Yuhi who was proficient in Genjutsu, and an elite Jonin like Kakashi...
It was possible they might actually escape, and they might even cause huge damage to the Wolf Clan.
To avoid such a thing from happening, he had to buy a cage specifically designed for powerful Ninjas.
Its function was very singular.
Yang Jiu took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at the five people, including Kakashi, who were being escorted by the Ninja Wolves.
"Go in."
Kakashi looked at the cage, which was emitting a faint, eerie light, and was silent for two seconds.
Then, he stepped inside.
Hyuga Sosuke and the other three looked at each other and had no choice but to follow.
The cage door slowly closed.
The moment the door closed, Kakashi clearly felt—
the Chakra in his body was as if it were being tightly suppressed by something, completely unable to flow.
He tried to weave hand seals.
His fingers couldn't move.
No, he could move, but his Chakra simply wouldn't obey him.
He looked at Hyuga Sosuke.
Hyuga Sosuke shook his head—he couldn't use the Byakugan either.
Akimichi Doto tried the Expansion Jutsu, but there was no reaction.
The five of them looked at each other, their faces full of bitter smiles.
Kakashi sat leaning in the corner of the cage, a complex look flashing in his only visible eye.
This wolf...
What exactly is its background?
To actually possess such a sealing technique, and to appear within the borders of the Land of Fire.
And just at this moment.
The system's notification sound rang in Yang Jiu's mind.
[Ding—mission Accomplished: Capture the Search Team]
[Obtained mission Reward: 1,000 EXP, 1,000 points, Special Item: chakra amplification pill x 20]
The corners of Yang Jiu's mouth curled up slightly.
"This mission is finally complete."
"I thought it was going to fail."
He glanced at the five people in the cage, then at his point balance.
3,000 spent, 1,000 earned back.
A net loss of 2,000.
But—
He looked at the expression of despair on Kakashi's face, and his mood inexplicably improved.
"Stay there for a while."
He ordered the Ninja Wolves to bring the other Ninjas from the cave and lock them in the cage, not giving them a single chance.
Then he turned and returned to the Beast King Hall.
—
"Kakashi, how did you get captured too?"
When Kurenai Yuhi was pushed into the cage and caught sight of Kakashi sitting in the corner, her red eyes were full of disbelief.
The dignified Kakashi Hatake, Konoha's number one technician, was actually locked up here too?
Hearing this, Kakashi's body stiffened visibly.
He silently turned his head away, pretending to study the texture of the cage walls.
But the tips of his ears turned red quietly.
"Sigh—"
Hyuga Sosuke sighed, his tone full of emotion.
"It's mainly because Captain Kakashi was willing to be captured for our safety."
"In that situation at the time, if he hadn't stayed behind to hold off that Wolf King, the four of us wouldn't have been able to escape at all..."
Kakashi's ears turned even redder.
Hyuga Sosuke didn't notice; he turned his head and looked at the small figure huddled beside Kurenai Yuhi.
"Miss Hinata, are you okay?"
Hyuga Hinata raised her head, her small face slightly flushed, and shook her head gently.
"I'm, I'm fine..."
"Mm, that's good."
Hyuga Sosuke breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered his voice and said:
"The Clan Head has already received the news, and I believe they will arrange for people to come and rescue us very soon."
"The Hyuga Clan will not allow their clansmen to be imprisoned."
Hyuga Hinata gave a soft "Mm," lowered her eyes, and didn't know what she was thinking.
Kakashi sat in the corner, listening to this conversation, the temperature on his face rising higher and higher.
He silently buried his face in his knees.
Rescue us?
In his current posture, in this situation—
Where was there any remaining majesty of the "Konoha's Number One Technician"?
Kurenai Yuhi glanced at him, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
The dignified Kakashi also has his day.
Having stayed here for a few days, she was no longer as nervous as when she first arrived. Anyway, she knew these Ninja Wolves wouldn't hurt them, although she didn't know why they were imprisoning them here.
But as long as they were still alive, there was hope, wasn't there?
Besides, there were so many people to talk to now, so it wouldn't be boring at all.
—
Inside the Beast King Hall.
Yang Jiu lay on the stone platform, and with a thought, a pale blue pill appeared in his claw.
[chakra amplification pill x 20: After consumption, it can permanently increase the user's total Chakra.]
"Permanently increase total Chakra, huh..."
He examined the longan-sized pill; fine Chakra patterns on its surface were shimmering.
"I don't know exactly how much it can increase."
Saying this, he threw the pill into his mouth.
Gulp—
The pill entered his stomach, and a warm current instantly dissolved, flowing along his meridians to his limbs and bones.
Yang Jiu closed his eyes and felt it carefully.
A moment later, he opened his eyes, a glimmer of pleasant surprise flashing in his golden pupils.
It increased.
At least five percent.
Don't underestimate this five percent—his current total Chakra had already reached the Jonin level, and five percent of a Jonin's was not a small amount.
Yang Jiu licked his lips, his mind racing.
If a Jonin could increase by five percent after taking it...
Then what if it was given to a Genin?
A normal Genin's Chakra amount could potentially increase by fifty to one hundred percent; taking one pill, breaking through to Chunin directly was not a dream.
He looked at the remaining nineteen pills in the warehouse and remembered the data on the system panel—
Wolf Clan members: 150.
Chunin level: 3 (Great Remnant, Heisha, Scar).
The other 146: All Genin, with thirty-something Elite Genin.
Yang Jiu's eyes became brighter and brighter.
The "Rise of the Wolf Clan" mission—30% of members reaching Chunin level, 10% reaching Special Jonin level.
30% is 45.
Now there are only 3, so 42 are missing.
10% is 15 Special Jonin.
Now there are none.
But if these amplification pills were distributed...
One pill could allow a peak Genin to break through to Chunin.
Nineteen pills would mean nineteen new Chunin.
Plus Great Remnant and the other two, that would be twenty-two Chunin.
Still 23 short of the goal of 45.
The remaining twenty-three could be trained slowly, or more missions could be completed to get rewards.
As for Special Jonin—
Yang Jiu looked at the numbers in the warehouse.
Nineteen pills; give one each to Great Remnant, Heisha, and Scar, and the three of them would likely break through to Special Jonin.
Then there would be three Special Jonin.
Still 12 short of 15.
But it didn't matter.
As long as the number of Chunin went up, Special Jonin could be trained slowly.
Yang Jiu put away the pills, the corners of his mouth slowly curling up.
"These pills..."
He muttered.
"If used well, they can double the strength of the Wolf Clan."
"By then, the Wolf Clan's strength will be stronger than most small Ninja villages."
