Kakashi had hoped Orochimaru and Sasori would leave on their giant eagle, but unexpectedly, Naruto, Sasuke, and Yota launched a preemptive attack.
Naruto and Sasuke were far stronger than in the original story, and Yota, with his exceptional weather-manipulation abilities, might actually be able to stop them.
After Sasuke finished his hand seals, he released dozens of fire crows towards the giant white bird and the giant eagle puppet in the sky.
Simultaneously, Naruto unleashed a powerful gust of wind. The fire crows, boosted by the wind, increased significantly in speed and power.
As Deidara and Sasori prepared to evade the fire crows, a powerful wind pressure restricted their movements, making it extremely difficult to maneuver.
The "Super Hurricane Crow Dance Continuous Bullet" combined jutsu used Sasuke's fire crows for the main attack, Naruto's wind to enhance their power, and Yota's weather control to restrict the enemy.
A series of explosions rang out as the fire crows struck their targets, successfully bringing down both the white bird and the giant eagle puppet.
"So, this bridge has ninja protection. Those forehead protectors are Konoha's,"
Landing safely, Deidara muttered to himself, feeling unlucky.
"Kakashi, you dared to intercept us. Interesting," Orochimaru licked his lips, a dangerous smile spreading across his face.
He had noticed Kakashi but hadn't expected him to attack.
Naruto and the others were clearly Kakashi's subordinates; their actions were clearly authorized by Kakashi.
Kakashi: "…"
Kakashi had no explanation, only thinking, "This is so hard".
The three parties met by the bridge, the atmosphere instantly tense.
"Hmph, you're here to destroy Tazuna's bridge! But too bad, I'm here, Uzumaki Naruto! Your plans are foiled!"
Naruto stepped forward, chest puffed out, head held high.
Hearing Naruto's self-introduction, Orochimaru and Sasori looked at him. They hadn't expected this unremarkable boy to be the Nine-Tails jinchuriki.
"He looks just like the intel described. The Nine-Tails jinchuriki is such a kid. What a gift," Sasori said slowly.
Six years ago, Yusuke single-handedly defeated four Akatsuki members. He then demonstrated overwhelming power in the war against Kumogakure.
Yusuke and the Uchiha clan showed immense strength, even Nagato feared them.
With Yusuke in Konoha, Nagato had devised a plan targeting Konoha last in their tailed beast collection.
The Nine-Tails jinchuriki presenting himself was unexpected for Orochimaru and Sasori.
Kakashi secretly unfurled a scroll, preparing to activate it.
This scroll was for contacting the Hokage; the Anbu used the same scroll to inform the Third Hokage of Obito's attack.
Kakashi and Naruto both had Minato's Flying Thunder God kunai. Contacting Minato would allow him to instantly arrive using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
"Kakashi, what's that in your hand? Mind if I take a look?"
Orochimaru's chilling voice cut through the air. Kakashi found himself unable to move.
"Damn it, genjutsu!"
Kakashi's heart leaped. He mobilized his chakra to break free, but Orochimaru was already before him, releasing numerous frost-covered white snakes from his cloak.
Kakashi, with his exceptional reflexes, evaded the attack, but a snake snatched the scroll.
"That was dangerous. Minato's arrival would have been troublesome,"
As a veteran Konoha rogue ninja, Orochimaru recognized the scroll's purpose.
Seeing the scroll taken, Kakashi's heart sank.
He began analyzing the situation, searching for a counter-strategy.
"Hey, yellow-hair, those two are your enemies too, right? How about we team up?"
Kakashi addressed Deidara, realizing Haku wasn't a ninja. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This yellow-haired boy, capable of holding his own against Orochimaru and Sasori, was undoubtedly strong.
Deidara's mind raced.
He wasn't one to back down, but he knew he couldn't beat both Orochimaru and Sasori. However, against one, he had a chance.
"Fine. I'll handle the gender-bender, you take the shorty!" Deidara reached for his clay pouch, preparing to attack.
"Gender-bender?"
Everyone looked at Orochimaru questioningly. Hiruko, lying on the ground, was clearly the "shorty," leaving Orochimaru as the "gender-bender."
"That brat! Orochimaru, I'll take Kakashi. Don't let Deidara die too easily,"
Sasori's irritated voice echoed. He wanted to turn the sharp-tongued Deidara into a puppet, but the son of his parents' killer was before him; he needed revenge.
Orochimaru said coldly, "Naturally!"
With opponents assigned, Kakashi instructed Naruto, Sasuke, and Yota to protect him and Tazuna. He charged at Sasori with his lightning-charged kunai.
Like Chidori, his speed was greatly enhanced by the Lightning Release.
Kakashi lacked Obito's Sharingan and its dynamic vision.
But high-speed combat adaptability could be trained. The Fourth Raikage and Minato were examples.
Kakashi, though reliant on the Sharingan, adapted to high-speed combat through training.
