But Kakashi now... is really strong.
Asuma used several advanced techniques to dizzy the opponent's attention, and then began to make hand seals frantically.
The Sarutobi clan is best at Fire Release, which can be said to be second only to the Uchiha clan.
Si - Zi - Yin.
"Fire Escape·Ashes Burning!"
A cloud of hot ash spewed out from the mouth, which was a large-scale attack ninjutsu.
The ninjutsu is like volcanic ash that sprays out directly with high temperature, and even explodes after landing.
It is rare to see B-level Fire Release appear in a duel, because ordinary ninjas would not do such a thing in such an occasion.
Those who use S-level ninjutsu to fight each other... are called the Twelve Little Strongmen.
For young ninjas, ninjutsu is not the higher the level, the more powerful it is, but the ability to use it freely is considered mastery.
This is why Asuma is so confident. According to his analysis, it is impossible for the opponent to use Chidori, so...
But Kakashi felt a little...nothing special.
This kid is a bit spirited mentally, his ability is not terrible, but it can be rated as so-so.
After fighting Noah's swordsman vest for so long, Kakashi's vision has become unimaginable.
Of course, even in the past he would not have thought much of this level of ninjutsu attacks.
Never mind. He's my future teammate after all, so I might as well draw my sword.
Clang!
With a shock of the sword's edge, all the dust was swept away, and then the child of Naruto was turned into a gourd with a single stroke.
Looking at Asuma rolling on the ground, Kakashi felt a little happy in his heart. Wait, is the teacher looking at him like this?
Kakashi seemed to understand something and attacked even more fiercely next time.
The fancy knife skills made Asma's older-looking face look even more aged.
He can't even have a child. Is this the strength of a Jonin?
Get up, fall up, fall down.
The stubborn boy was sweating profusely, and not crying was already the limit of his self-esteem.
For the last time, he teleported behind Asuma and nailed him to the tree with another blow of his knife.
"If this is your talent... I am greatly disappointed."
Asuma was indeed hit hard by this battle. He didn't expect that he was so weak.
When I was fighting with the tutor, I obviously played back and forth and all the routine moves were very ninja. Why did Kakashi's painting style change suddenly, not to mention three moves and two moves, but only half moves and one move. In order to win or lose, is this kind of strength really what a young ninja should have?
Maybe I'm really not cut out to be a ninja... This world belongs to geniuses.
Seeing that his development target was about to become autistic because of himself, Kakashi remembered what his teacher said. Now was the time to give the other party a glimmer of hope.
“Do you think this is a talent?”
"Ah."
"That's because you haven't seen my efforts and my understanding of the will of fire."
?
Asuma could understand the effort, but the will of fire? He hadn't learned anything from taking care of his old father.
"But you are very courageous. Not everyone can endure so many failures."
Asuma was obviously very angry at the recognition from the strong man who crushed him, but he also felt a little happy inside. What was going on?
"We'll fight again if we have a chance. I, Kakashi, recognize you."
"Hmph! Do I need you to verify my courage, Asuma-sama? Wait, I will learn another powerful technique to challenge you."
Looking at Asuma's back as he fled in a panic, Kakashi smiled under his mask.
The first sword of Shimokatsuki Kendo!
Chapter 143: You Have to Do Something Bad for Konoha
The Hokage Building at midnight.
Danzo was proudly sharing the progress of his mission with his old friends.
"We have already obtained the intelligence from the Kumogakure Ninjas, and they are still quite wary of Konoha's strength.
Although the 4th Raikage has been pushing for war, there has been some rejection within their village after the great war with Iwagakure.
The former subordinates of the Third Raikage believed that recuperation was the mainstream in the current ninja world, and that launching a war without authorization would put the Hidden Cloud Village in danger. At the very least, that old guy Ohnoki would launch another sneak attack.
I have already asked the spies of the Root to constantly guide and instigate those who do not want to fight. The Hidden Cloud Village is not full of warlike barbarians. There are still ordinary people there."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. He thought his old friend was very familiar with using such tactics in the enemy's lair, so there was no need to worry.
However, the young Fourth Raikage acted even more recklessly than the Third Raikage, and he actually looked for any opportunity to start a war.
It now seems that as long as there are no obvious flaws, there will be no reason for the other side to start a war without authorization.
War~~~It is such a terrifying word.
"I have basically dealt with the aftermath of the Uchiha clan. Some of the Uchiha clan members who were ignorant and those who were excluded have completely become our people.
In the future, intelligence about them will be continuously transmitted to us, but these people do not have much potential and ability to wait until later to clean them up together."
The third generation said that he understood. Although there seemed to be a lot of Sharingan, there were still some clan members and ordinary people who could not awaken.
It is normal for blood successors to use the degree of blood successors to classify the ranks in the blood succession family. One tier, two tiers, three tiers, and the age of awakening will all be counted.
There will always be some people who are disliked by their masters and become frustrated. Moreover, the thinner the bloodline, the closer they are to normal people in terms of thinking.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had no doubt that Danzo could accomplish this.
"How is Uchiha Itachi's observation going?"
A powerful family must be conquered from within in the fastest way, as the intelligence that can be obtained by relying solely on peripheral members is limited.
However, the Uchiha who have obtained three magatama have a unique sense of honor in spirit, and it is very difficult to defeat such a person.
Because Konoha simply cannot provide any bargaining chips that can attract this group to leave the family.
When it comes to forbidden techniques and resources, they have no shortage of them. Having an ancestor called Battlefield Rose, they really have everything they want.
In terms of historical background... The history of Uchiha can be traced back thousands of years ago. It has a clear ideological inheritance and even has its own shrine.
These things can completely concentrate the thoughts of the core ninjas to form an extremely threatening independent force.
It is because of these that the Millennium Ninja Clan has been able to maintain a certain voice.
The information about Uchiha Itachi had actually been placed on their desks for a long time for analysis and research.
A young genius, who has seen the battlefield at the age of 4, with his thoughts not yet formed, the son of the clan leader, and currently an outstanding student in the ninja school.
Sarutobi Hiruzen praised the boy for being able to think from the perspective of the Hokage, and Itachi's thinking since childhood was not bound by the boundaries of the Uchiha clan and the village.
This evaluation is not necessarily a good thing. They already think that this child will be a breakthrough.
In addition to blood factors, the Uchiha atmosphere, the guidance of the Sandaime and others, and the influence of Obito in the original work all contributed to the creation of this twisted soul.
It is abnormal for a child to live among various forces for a long time and receive a large amount of information and still remain normal.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who controls the ninja school, is confident that he can control this chess piece, and under Danzo's pressure, many things can become natural.
Originally, Shisui was their first choice because he was powerful and was the descendant of Kagami.
But this child was taken away by Orochimaru in advance, and now his identity is even more sensitive, making it difficult to take action.
At this time Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Danzo.
"What do you think of Konoha's core area?"
"Have you found out why the enemy summoned the Nine-Tails from there last time?"
……
Danzo is a very smart man. He has worked with Hiruzen for many years and basically he understands what's going on as soon as the other party mentions it.
“You mean…Uchiha land?
It is true that a family that has no regard for Konoha occupies the best location in Konoha, and even a part of the core area, which is so critical, has become its own private land. This is obviously not a good thing for the village.
What can I do for you?
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head. That was not what he meant.
“Now after the war, the Uchiha clan will have new growth, so the current place is a bit small. My suggestion is to expand their neighborhood by a very large part.
However, there is really no space left in the core area of Konoha, and we cannot allow a good family to be divided, so I will consider exchanging a piece of family land near the Nanga Shrine for them.
This would continue to maintain the Uchiha's cohesiveness while also allowing them to be closer to their own shrine.
For Konoha, I will accept it even if there is a little loss."
……
Danzo was impressed by this old friend again.
On the surface, they increased the other party's land holdings, but in fact they drove the other party out of the core area and pretended to be doing it for the other party's good. It was really disgusting.
Is the darkness of my ninja world not dark enough?
"You mean to ask me to find a way to make the Uchiha feel that this is a good thing?"
“Yes, although I have good intentions, I am also afraid that the Uchiha clan may not understand. After all, the situation in the village is quite tense right now.
But I believe that under the Will of Fire, everyone can get what they want, so I'll leave this matter to you."
Danzo showed a sarcastic smile. He really is worthy of being the Hokage. His words are so flawless.
The old friend didn't say a word about how to deal with the large piece of land in the core area after Uchiha moved away.
But never mind, no matter how we divide it, the Shimura family will be indispensable.
Maybe by then they will also bring in several other big ninja clans to share the spoils.
Two evil-hearted people were discussing their plans.
It took a long time before the discussion about Uchiha was completed, and everyone dispersed as they had other things to do.
"Danzo...Don't go too far with what happened to Orochimaru. You need to learn from your mistakes."
"Don't worry about my work. And... haven't you known about the experiment?"
After saying that, Danzo ran away. It was one of the few pleasures he had every day to tease his old friend's emotions while walking.
The eyes of the Sandaime who was stabbed by this remark dimmed. There were indeed things in Konoha that he didn't know about, but they didn't include experiments.
"I'm doing this... for Konoha."
After returning home, I found that my youngest son, who was the most troublesome of me, was still practicing. Wasn’t the ashes he learned last time enough?
He asked the people around him with some surprise what was wrong with the child.
"I see~~Are you unwilling to accept being defeated by Kakashi?"
"Yes, it was said that it was a crushing defeat. We need to practice before challenging again."
The Sandaime was in a much better mood. He was an excellent ninja if he didn’t become depressed after failure.
Asuma is a child who has countless opportunities to try and make mistakes, so he will definitely have the chance to slowly catch up with those geniuses.
And the goal has been the child calm down and put all his energy into cultivation instead of talking back to his old father.
That kind of dangerous will of fire always came from his son's mouth, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel tired when he returned home sometimes. Today, he felt inexplicably relaxed.
Chapter 144 Orochimaru takes action
"If he still needs ninjutsu, set a standard and give him a new one after he reaches it. Now is a critical period for the child's growth."
