Konoha: Otsutsuki from the Earth

Seeing Kakashi's figure being overwhelmed by the continuous explosions, Sakura couldn't help but shouted worriedly: "Kakashi-sensei!"

"I'm fine, Sakura."

Kakashi's body emerged from the ground not far from Sakura. He looked at the direction of the explosion and explained: "The one that just rushed up was just my shadow clone.

"However, Qi Fei gave us a warning: the other party may use our understanding of their intelligence to predict our actions. This is indeed a strategy that the other party will come up with.

"Since the main body is not in the transparent psychic beast, based on the direction in which the explosive flew just now, the other party should be in the sky!"

Kakashi and Sakura looked up subconsciously and saw a strange-looking big bird flapping its wings in the air. Tendo standing on the big bird's forehead was watching them silently with his cold samsara eyes.

"If the true body is in heaven... Shino!"

"give it to me--"

Shino raised his hands and stretched out his arms toward Heaven, and swarms of parasites like dark clouds flew out of his loose sleeves and swarmed towards him from all directions.

Whoa! However, as soon as they approached the Heavenly Dao, the insect swarm was immediately bounced away by a storm, and some of the more fragile parasitic insects were directly broken and fell.

"No...the parasites can't get close to the psychic beast protected by Nagato."

After trying several times and failing, Shino said helplessly.

Hearing Shino's words, Sakura said unwillingly: "In that case, wouldn't we never be able to attack him?"

"Psychic art!"

While Kakashi and the others were discussing how to attack Tiandao, Tiandao formed seals with his hands, and an extremely huge crab was channeled from the belly of the big bird, and it hit the ground heavily from high in the sky.

Boom—The next moment, a big crater was made on the lawn of the training ground, and Kakashi and the others were forced to flee.

"Woof - woof woof!"

The Hell Crab also crushed the cage holding the Cerberus. The originally trapped Cerberus regained its freedom and once again launched a relentless pursuit of Kakashi and the others.

To make matters worse, due to the Hell Crab's indiscriminate attack, the injured Hell Crab split into several equally ferocious individuals, surrounding Kakashi and others.

Phew - not only were the hell dogs and hell crabs chasing them, but Qi Fei would also release some small but powerful thunder guns in the sky from time to time. Kakashi and the others could only flee in embarrassment for a while.

Boom~ Dodging the explosion beside him, Kakashi turned around and looked at Tiandao's figure, and said helplessly: "So this is what it means for us not to retain our strength..."

He formed a seal with both hands, and the Sharingan in his left eye slowly turned into a shuriken shape: "Kamiwei!"

The whirlpool that appeared out of thin air directly twisted the psychic beast at Tiandao's feet, tearing it to pieces in the blink of an eye. Tiandao's body also fell rapidly because there was no support.

When Kakashi planned to further aim the twisted vortex space at the figure of Tiandao, the Cerberus that suddenly rushed out blocked his sight and interrupted his operation.

"What a troublesome thing! Is this what Jiraiya-sama and the others were fighting against back then?"

At the critical moment, Kakashi barely dodged the Cerberus's claws.

Seeing Kakashi successfully knocking Tendo out of the air, Yamato, who had already subdued the Cerberus with Wood Release, decisively formed the seal: "Wooden Release: Four Pillar Prison Technique!"

A thick tree trunk suddenly stretched out from where Tiandao landed, tightly binding Tiandao's body in mid-air and forming a solid cage.

"Huh-huh-"

Wooden Release is a big user of mana, so after Yamato used several large-scale Wooden Release Ninjutsu to control the psychic beast, he weakly shouted to Sakura: "Sakura!"

"I see!"

As early as when Yamato successfully tied up Tiandao, Sakura had already rushed forward, clenched her fists and shouted: "Go to hell!"

Bang! However, the fist failed to hit the soft flesh, but instead hit a panda-shaped psychic beast that suddenly appeared.

"Tsk!" Unexpectedly, the opportunity she finally created failed again, and Sakura smacked her lips unwillingly.

Pulling out the fist embedded in the panda's abdomen, Sakura put her feet on the panda's body, and then jumped away from the panda's position with a flexible backflip.

Boom boom...then the panda's position was once again covered by endless explosions.

After the smoke and dust dispersed, Tiandao, who was waving several chainsaw arms behind his back, appeared in front of everyone again, and raised the barrel of the gun that was condensing golden electric light towards everyone...

Throughout the afternoon, the third training ground was constantly filled with explosions and loud noises, and the noise was sometimes so loud that even the village could clearly feel it.

In the evening, Kakashi and others finished the exercise. Their clothes were torn and their bodies were covered with injuries. They fell to the ground exhausted and allowed Qi Fei, who had no longer changed his voice, to treat them.

"As expected of the leader of the Akatsuki organization, if there is no intelligence support, there should be no chance of winning in the first fight..."

This was Kakashi's heartfelt sigh after seeing most of Pain's abilities.

It was precisely because of this that he felt more and more that it was incredible that Jiraiya and Qi Fei could defeat them.

Sakura, who was sitting on the grass and letting Qi Fei transmit chakra, said in despair: "But we still failed..."

Kakashi smiled and comforted: "Don't be discouraged. Today's exercise is just to experience the opponent's strength. At least we understand the gap between intelligence and reality."

This was also the point that impressed the Beheading Team the most. Even though Qi Fei had fully informed them of Nagato's information, it was still difficult to execute the plan according to the original steps after facing Nagato's overwhelming strength.

Thinking of this, Kakashi turned his gaze to Yamato who was squatting aside, and asked with concern: "Yamato, are you okay?"

In this battle, Yamato's Wood Release was crucial. Many times, he relied on the characteristics of Wood Release to block Qi Fei's attacks.

"Ahem, cough, cough...I, I'm fine, just go back and have a rest..." Yamato replied feebly with sunken eyes and a haggard expression.

Looking at Yamato's dying appearance, Kakashi felt a little guilty. The consequence of relying too much on Mujutsu was that Yamato would prematurely lose his combat effectiveness due to chakra exhaustion.

"And we have to change places tomorrow. There is too much noise from the fighting near the village."

The original plan was to conduct the drill in secret, but once the battle actually started, I couldn't hold back.

Because of this, Kakashi felt that he had to change places, otherwise such a big movement would attract attention sooner or later.

After a while, all the members who had been treated by Qi Fei stood up again full of energy. However, their mental exhaustion made them no longer intend to continue fighting.
