Chapter 323: First Blood Lost (4K4)

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?
At this moment, the confused Kakashi entered a state of philosophical three questions.

A brand new world, a brand new environment, and a super war where people are asked to fill in the gaps before they have time to think.

Kakashi felt that everything was unreal, and immediately suspected that he was under an illusion.

This is the standard answer of all ninjas. Whether it was Tobirama Senju in the beginning or Sakumo Hatake later, after entering such a world, they all thought that they were under an illusion.

Of course, later on, because of that incredibly realistic experience, they all believed that the ‘other world’ they were in was real.

It can only be said that the mental network system is so powerful that it can be called the Infinite Tsukuyomi plus version in a sense, and Cricket Infinite Tsukuyomi is a mini version of the mental network world.

Kakashi was also unable to escape this law. After trying all his means, he found that he could not dispel the illusion. All his senses were extremely real. As an unlucky guy who had personally experienced Uchiha Itachi’s Tsukuyomi, he could also be sure that this was completely different from the sense of Tsukuyomi.

“So, I really became another person named Kakashi like me, but from another world? Moreover, the planet, the universe, the empire, the God Emperor, chaos…”

“Are you kidding me? Are these all true? There are such things in this world, such a world, such a terrifying existence?”

Kakashi’s head was buzzing, and a large amount of memories belonging to this identity flooded into his mind, making him feel as if he had obtained a chaos debuff, and he fell into an extreme confusion.

After all, he was just a native of the ninja world, and suddenly entering the super battlefield of the interstellar empire was really too subversive of his worldview.

Kakashi now is like a person who originally lived in a medieval society. He was dissatisfied with the cruel and ruthless nobles, and then he gathered a group of people to revolt and overthrow the corrupt and backward rule of the nobles. However, when they reached the outside of the nobles’ castle, the castle suddenly stood up and turned into a Titan hundreds of meters high, and used absolutely ruthless crushing to tell him that his rebellion was just an ignorant and stupid act, and it was also a devastating blow to his worldview.

This is how Kakashi feels now. He feels everything is so magical and so unreal.

Compared with the current experience, everything that happened before has become insignificant. The so-called Ninja World War is nothing more than a village war compared to the fleet wars that I saw in the universe in my memory.

Just from what we know from memory, in the cosmic war that Kakashi in this world witnessed, hundreds of millions of lives disappeared into the cold universe.

And on this planet called Cadia, the Imperial Army alone now has more than one billion troops in the army, and the Imperial Army is still continuously reinforcing this world.

Moreover, this is because Kakashi is just an ordinary soldier. He doesn’t know much about many things. He only knows the general idea and nothing else. He just goes with the flow.

Even the current situation of the war was unclear. All they knew was that the order from above was to defend Cadia to the death and not let the Chaos forces break through this world that served as the Empire’s outpost.

After sorting out the relevant memories in his mind, Kakashi had only one feeling, that is, ‘I don’t know who I am, I don’t know where I am, I just know that I am going to kill.’

Of course, this is just an abstract understanding. In fact, Kakashi knows that he cannot escape. If he is like a free boy named Allen, he must start fighting now, because he cannot survive without fighting.

Then, following the memories inherited from this body, Kakashi tried to attack with the gun in his hand, and then he felt the huge bang and recoil of the semi-automatic rifle. The strong smell of gunpowder invaded his nasal cavity, intertwining with the various unpleasant smells around him, making Kakashi’s originally hazy mind become much clearer as if he had suddenly taken a puff of cigarette.

So true.

Yes, it is all too true.

It was so real that Kakashi felt deeply frightened, and he couldn’t help but wonder why his soul suddenly traveled to the body of Kakashi in another human empire.

What exactly happened in the meantime?

Kakashi couldn’t understand and couldn’t figure it out. After all, as a native of the ninja world, he had not been bombarded with online novels on Earth. He couldn’t understand the concept of “time travel”, let alone “soul travel”.

This made Kakashi very confused and frightened. His experience and vision as Konoha’s number one technician seemed so pale and powerless at this moment, because he found that in terms of vision and knowledge, the frightened imperial Kakashi who was reborn from his body far surpassed him.

In the Warring States Period, a country bumpkin from an island country entered the Ukrainian-Russian battlefield and saw a bunch of drones rushing towards him – this is probably how Kakashi felt, and if you magnify his senses N times, that is what he is experiencing at this moment.

Especially when Kakashi looked at the sky, which had turned dark red mixed with sulfur orange due to the invasion of war and chaos power, and looked at the various artillery shells, missiles and flying vehicles flying in the sky, and saw the battle line stretching to the horizon in the distance, hundreds of meters high, with a terrifying mecha with a huge church on its head and an energy shield on its head, advancing under the protection of a large number of smaller mechas, and many vehicles called Leman Russ tanks advancing and firing, and the terrifying explosions and roars never stopped. There were constant bombings and explosions in visible and invisible places, and wars were constantly occurring. He no longer knew how to describe his feelings at this moment.

In this situation, Kakashi couldn’t even see where the enemy was, because the enemy on the opposite side was also constantly bombarding with the same level of attacks, and all kinds of energy and shells were coming. The area that Kakashi could see in front of him was covered with endless smoke and dust, as if a large sandstorm covered the battlefield, and only some huge shadows could be vaguely seen.

In addition, a great fear derived from biological instinct surged into his heart, and every cell in his body was warning him that there was something extremely terrifying in the area covered by smoke.

Kakashi knew that it was a force called Chaos, a force led by the leader of the enemy in this war, the Chaos Warmaster named Abaddon the Great Plunderer.

These include fallen humans who have defected to Chaos, monsters from Chaos, human armies that have betrayed the Imperium, and super warriors called Chaos Astartes.

The so-called Astartes, also known as Space Marines, are beings known as the Emperor’s angels. They are the best selected from humans and have undergone nineteen human body transformations to become super warriors who surpass mortals.

These super soldiers have reaction speed, survivability, strength and steel-like will far beyond that of ordinary people. They have the terrifying power to destroy an entire mortal army on their own. They are also the “angels” that the Empire trusts and relies on the most.

However, the erosion of Chaos is everywhere, and even the Astartes with extraordinary physique and strong will can be corrupted by Chaos, thus falling and betraying the Empire. There are many Astartes who have betrayed the Empire on the Chaos side, and these guys are called Chaos Astartes. Those guys are the nightmare of mortal armies, because only the Emperor’s Angels who are also Astartes can fight against them.

Now, Kakashi had some relevant information in his memory. He knew that in this horrific battlefield that stretched across most of the planet, there were many Emperor Angels fighting against the blasphemous Chaos Astartes, and those battles were not something a mortal like him could participate in.

Damn it, Kakashi is just a mortal in this kind of battlefield!
After all, he was an elite jonin of Konoha and the best technician of Konoha. This found Kakashi ridiculous. After all, if the Ninja World War broke out again, he would definitely be the general of Konoha, responsible for commanding Konoha’s army and leading a large number of Konoha ninjas to fight.

Compared to these ninjas, the “mortals” in the ninja world should be ordinary people.

However, Kakashi knew that even though he retained his chakra and could use his strength as a ninja, it was actually nothing on this battlefield. His survival rate was just slightly higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

Because, compared to those Astartes who have superhuman physique and super powerful equipment, he is definitely a super fragile person wearing ordinary naval equipment of the Empire. After encountering the Chaos Astartes, he may be taken down by the opponent’s individual grenade launcher.

and so……

“Try to survive! In a battlefield like this, all I can do is protect myself…”

Muttering these words in a low voice, Kakashi started his ‘dirty’ fighting style. After carefully giving the opponent a blind shot, he hid in the trench and refused to come out, aiming to survive.

There were constant shouts and yells of curses all around, and from time to time one could see some unlucky souls with their heads exploded, or even their upper bodies exploded. They were all hit by the opponent’s ammunition, and many of these ammunition were just stray bullets. On this interstellar empire-level battlefield, although many weapons could not even be automated and still used live ammunition, which seemed quite backward, their power was not small at all. For mortals, even if they wore helmets and bulletproof vests, it was actually the same as not wearing any. They would be seriously injured if they were grazed, and die instantly if they were touched.

Kakashi saw that the Uncle Kumogakure Fuuhei who had called him a new recruit before turned into a corpse with the body above the chest missing. The burning energy swept past, making the missing part disappear instantly, and the ‘wound’ on the chest was also healed instantly, emitting a meaty aroma.

Such smell and sight made Kakashi, who had participated in the Ninja World War, feel extremely uncomfortable. What made his scalp tingle was that the soldiers around him were not surprised by it all. They all accepted it with numbness and continued to stick to their posts, acting like a filler.

“Aren’t these people afraid?”

Kakashi had this thought, and soon he understood why.

Because soon he saw a man shouting with a passionate voice, boosting morale. He knew from his original body’s memory that this was a profession called “Political Commissar”, who was responsible for inspiring the soldiers under his charge with faith and honor, and the words he said most often were “For the Emperor” and “God-Emperor Above”.

The Emperor and God-Emperor here actually refer to the supreme ruler of the Human Empire, who sits permanently on the Golden Throne. He is the ruler of the Human Empire and the only true God believed in by the state religion. He is the eternal guardian and supreme leader of the Empire.

Under the glory of the Emperor, the Human Empire stood tall in this cold galaxy for thousand years after thousand years, and finally held out for tens of thousands of years. Life is the Emperor’s currency. As a soldier of the Empire, one must offer eternal loyalty to the Emperor and use one’s life to defeat all enemies for the great God-Emperor!
Well, the above thoughts are what Kakashi thinks, and these thoughts are exactly the thoughts of the owner of the body he occupies, a guy who, like most of the people in the Empire, fanatically believes in the Emperor, and longs to die with honor and eventually return to the Golden Throne.

Of course, I thought so, but unfortunately I was too timid and was scared to death.

Kakashi felt that this unlucky guy with the same name as himself was probably destined to never return to the Golden Throne.

Then, just as Kakashi was thinking this, suddenly, a burst of excited screams rang out, followed by excited and evil laughter.

Then I saw several big guys over two meters and five feet tall wearing power armor covered with blasphemous chaos runes and emitting an ominous purple aura.

They were Chaos Astartes, or rather a type of Chaos Astartes. These guys fell from the sky like cannonballs and landed directly in the trenches of the Imperial Army.

Then, after a brief moment of astonishment and silence, someone shouted in fear, “It’s the Chaos Astartes! It’s the blasphemous betrayers!” Then, the sounds of various guns and artillery fire rang out, attacking the purple-painted Chaos Astartes.

All kinds of firepower were poured over.

However, these attacks that could easily tear apart a mortal’s body were completely ineffective against the Chaos Astartes. The power armor on them could easily block ordinary attacks, and they were even blessed with the power of Chaos.

Those chaotic forces are like some kind of conceptual weapons, which infinitely weaken the power of various long-range attacks, making all kinds of artillery attacks ineffective when hitting them.

On the contrary, such attacks seemed to make these Chaos Astartes enjoy some kind of indescribable bliss, and some of them even uttered comfortable moans, followed by excited laughter.

Then, these guys picked up their weapons, a huge gun with a muzzle that looked like a twisted human head. When the trigger was pulled, a huge noise erupted from it, forming a horrifying shock wave.

In an instant, the Imperial soldiers near these Chaos Astartes began bleeding from all their orifices, their heads exploded and they died, and they endured extreme pain before their death. Although only a short period of time had passed, in their subjective feeling, it felt like a very long time had passed.

The reason why he knew this is because Kakashi was suffering from this kind of pain right now.

It was as if his head was torn apart, his blood vessels were cut, his muscles were torn apart wildly, his eyes turned blood red, and the nerve pain was amplified many times. The extreme pain pulled at his senses and made him feel that his body was out of control and he could only feel extreme pain.

Under such damage, Kakashi even recalled the fear of being dominated by Uchiha Itachi – when he was controlled by Uchiha Itachi’s Tsukuyomi, he was unable to move and could only endure the pain of constant attacks from the enemy.

In comparison, Uchiha Itachi even seemed very gentle, because the pain that this master of illusion in the ninja world brought to Kakashi with his Mangekyō was nothing more than repeated stabbings, but what Kakashi was enduring now was the pain of being ravaged to the extreme.

So, in this extreme pain, Kakashi gave up his first blood in this hellish world, which directly proved one thing – in this horrible world, if you just think about paddling to save your life, you will only die in great pain.
