Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard...
Boom!
An arm directly pierced through the earth wall, and at an extremely close distance, struck the Rock ninja.
His eyes widened, disbelievingly looking at the cold-faced Kakashi, his mouth opening and closing, fresh blood trickling down the corner of his mouth, but he couldn't manage to utter a complete sentence.
How is this possible?
Why is a Leaf Village brat so fast?
And his destructive power is so terrifying?
The lightning in Kakashi's hand dissipated, revealing a palm that was red, with some burn wounds.
"Damn brat!!"
At this moment, the other two Rock ninjas reacted and, taking advantage of the dissipation of Kakashi's Chidori, suddenly launched a sneak attack.
Kakashi's sudden outburst exceeded their expectations, but now they wanted to avenge their dead companion.
Exhausted, Kakashi was unable to react in time.
Suddenly.
A figure, slower than the two Rock ninjas, arrived first, surpassing them by starting later.
Wearing a faint smile, he said calmly, "You're pretty good, Kakashi."
Under the shocked gazes of the remaining two Rock ninjas, Qifeng directly snapped their throats, leaving them with no ability to resist.
Thud—
Two corpses fell to the ground.
Kakashi took a deep look at Qifeng, not saying anything, but he was actually shocked by Qifeng's speed.
Swish swish—
Obito and Nohara Rin flashed and appeared beside them.
Obito looked at the corpses on the ground with a face full of surprise, while Nohara Rin immediately began to treat Kakashi's injured palm.
"What... is this?" Obito murmured.
He was also seeing Kakashi's Chidori for the first time.
"It's a nature transformation of lightning chakra. This should be a ninjutsu that Kakashi developed himself, right? However, his mastery of chakra nature transformation isn't very proficient, so he'll hurt himself. Also, because the speed of the Lightning Release is too fast, it's a great test for your eyes, Kakashi. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be these two Rock ninjas who died; all four would be dead.
But being able to develop such a ninjutsu is already quite remarkable. If he can skillfully master and perform it, it should be considered an A-rank ninjutsu. Very impressive," Qifeng explained.
He had personally witnessed Kakashi's first Chidori achievement.
"A-rank ninjutsu?!" Obito looked shocked.
He had only just reached the level of Chunin and hadn't even awakened his Sharingan. Kakashi had already been promoted to Jonin, and now he had even developed an A-rank ninjutsu.
He felt a blow to his confidence.
"It's still a big difference from Master Hiruzen's Super S-rank forbidden technique," Kakashi said slowly, rubbing his wrist that Nohara Rin had treated.
Qifeng smiled and shook his head. "It's different."
Hiruzen was borrowing the power of thunderclouds, which was very different from Kakashi, who relied on pure Lightning Release chakra and nature transformation.
In terms of difficulty alone, the Chidori developed by Kakashi was more difficult.
Kakashi thought for a moment and finally asked, "Master Hiruzen, the speed of the Chidori is too fast. Even if I make some predictions, it's still too difficult. How can I overcome this shortcoming?"
"In your current state, you can't overcome it at all. To be honest, although you developed this technique, the most suitable person for it isn't you."
"Then who is it?" Kakashi was stunned.
"The Uchiha," Qifeng said bluntly, "Only the dynamic vision of the Uchiha's Sharingan can perfectly compensate for the only flaw in this technique."
Kakashi: "......"
He glanced at Obito next to him, his mood complicated.
"Eh? Then aren't I an Uchiha?" Obito reacted.
"You don't have the Sharingan," Kakashi coldly poured cold water on him.
"Damn Kak..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qifeng directly interrupted, "There's a situation! Be careful and protect yourselves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, they saw a monstrous wave rising in the dense forest, sweeping towards them.
Chapter 182: Qifeng's Backhand
Such a Water Release ninjutsu!
In a place like the Grass Country, which is full of dense vegetation.
How is that possible?
Kakashi and the others were stunned as they watched the approaching torrent, because there was no room to dodge.
Qifeng waved his hand, and a mass of iron sand rose from the ground, forming a sphere to protect the four of them.
Boom!
The huge wave crashed against the iron ball, making a huge roar. Under Qifeng's control, the iron ball trembled, but it still held on well.
"Hoo—"
Obito breathed a long sigh of relief, patting his chest with some lingering fear.
But Qifeng didn't show a relaxed expression. He glanced at them and handed Kakashi a Flying Thunder God kunai made by Minato, saying:
"This is no longer an enemy you can touch. Take this kunai and leave without looking back. Go and tell Lord Orochimaru about the situation here."
Kakashi took the kunai in a daze.
What's going on?
