The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 284 Open the door

"Konoha's powerful whirlwind!"

"Konoha Bad Iwasho!"

In the open space of the grove, the youthful duel between Kakashi and Kai continued.

But even though Kai used all his strength and his figure was so fast that ordinary people could hardly see it, his attack still could not touch Kakashi at all.

It was obvious that he could hit the target every time if he just moved a little faster, but Kakashi always managed to easily dodge the attacks with the smallest movement.

The distance that seemed within reach was actually as difficult to cross as an insurmountable chasm.

Just like the gap between the two, it didn't seem to have narrowed even a little bit because of Akai's efforts over the past six months...

"It's no use, Kai."

Kakashi calmly analyzed while dodging Kai's fierce attack with ease.
"Your improvement in strength is indeed commendable, and is considered quite good among Genin."

"But even if you use breathing techniques to gain speed and strength beyond your age, you still can't defeat me."

"Because you have a decisive flaw right now, which is that you don't have enough weapons to win the game."

"Your straightforward punches are only effective when you're facing an opponent who is less powerful than you."

"It's impossible for it to work against me who has also mastered the breathing method."

When Akai heard this, his movements stiffened for a moment.

Seeing this, Kakashi didn't hesitate and hit Kai in the stomach with both palms, making him retreat repeatedly.

Under the effect of the soft fist technique, Akai felt his internal organs churning and he had an urge to vomit.

But what hurt him the most was Kakashi's incisive analysis.

In fact, when he was learning breathing techniques with Obito, Shisui and others, he already had similar ideas, but he deliberately did not think about them too much.

In the final analysis, breathing techniques are just a means to improve overall strength, not a move that can directly defeat the enemy.

He cannot change his nature, so he can neither use breathing techniques to strengthen his Fire Style like Obito, nor can he master advanced breathing techniques such as Water Breathing and Storm Breathing like Shisui and Asuma.

His chakra control is also average, making it difficult for him to learn the various techniques that Sensei Hideki taught to other students.

The only things he could boast about were his strong body acquired through hard training and his physical skills that surpassed those of his peers.

But just like this, it is impossible to defeat a genius like Kakashi.

You have to know that the opponent hasn't even used kunai or ninja swords yet, otherwise, no matter how strong and tough he is, he would have been defeated long ago.

Is this the difference between genius and ordinary people?
Even with the careful guidance of Mr. Hideki, he couldn't defeat a genius like Kakashi?

At this time, Akai had not yet started learning the Eight Gates, nor had he experienced his father's heroic death.

Therefore, at this time, he did not develop the indomitable and inextinguishable fighting spirit.

After challenging Kakashi with great confidence, but failing to even touch the corner of his clothes, it was natural for him to feel shaken.

In fact, Kakashi also used the close-range perception skills to dodge Kai's moves. The gap between the two was not as huge as Kai imagined.

If Kakashi really wanted to defeat the thick-skinned and tough Kai, it would take him a lot of effort.

However, in front of a genius like Kakashi, even the slightest hesitation would be torn into a fatal flaw.

At this time, Akai, who was confused, was certainly no match for Kakashi.

As a result, the confrontation became one-sided.

In a short while, Akai fell to the ground, his body covered with bruises.

Kakashi looked down at Kai on the ground, and the light in his eyes seemed to dim a little.

It turned out that everything the man said was wrong.

No matter in the past, present or future, he could not imagine the possibility of losing to Akai.

"Akai, this is the last time I'll play with you."

"You should find an opponent who is more suitable for your level."

After leaving these words, Kakashi took a step and disappeared on the spot.

"Wait... I haven't given up yet..."

Akai gritted his teeth and tried to stand up with his hands.

But under Kakashi's deliberate attack, many of his joints were swollen and weak, and it was difficult for him to stand up. In the end, he could only punch the ground to vent his unwillingness.

"Damn it! I've been training completely according to my father and teacher Hideki's instructions, so why is there still such a big gap between me and Kakashi?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded faintly in the grove:

"That's because you haven't discovered the true power of your body yet, Kai..."

Akai turned his head with difficulty to look for the source of the sound, and saw a handsome young man jumping down from a tree and walking towards him with a smile.

"Hideki-sensei!?"

"How will you be here?"

"You said I haven't yet tapped into my body's true strength. What's going on?"

"Akai, don't worry."

Hideki came to Kai's side and said gently,

"Let me help you with your treatment first, and then we can continue these topics."

After saying that, he stretched out his right hand, and strands of chakra emitting green fluorescence shot out from his fingertips to various parts of Akai's body.

Suture healing.

Ever since Nonou turned to the light, Hideki has been looking for her from time to time to study the mysteries of the human body.

So now his original suture healing technique has become even more effective and has many wonderful uses.

But this time they are not very useful.

I don’t know if it’s because Kai’s body is too strong, or if Kakashi was being careful, but Kai only suffered superficial injuries.

The culprit for the swelling of his joints was simply the chakra that Kakashi injected through his soft fist technique, probably to prevent Kai from pestering him.

In fact, they will dissipate on their own if you just wait for a while. Now with Hideki's catheter-type chakra lines to help clear them, they can recover directly.

However, this also made Hideki feel emotional again.

Close-range perception, soft fists, and this acupuncture-like technique...

He is truly the super genius that everyone has been waiting for.

I actually got so many good things from the Hyuga clan in just one month.

But just like in the original work, Kakashi prefers Sasuke.

In fact, Hideki also favors this kind of talented disciple, and it gives him a greater sense of accomplishment to teach him.

However, if you want to get Kakashi to join the Kame-ryu school, it will probably take some effort.

Just as Hideki was daydreaming, Kai also completely recovered, stood up and asked anxiously:
"Teacher, what about the last question just now... Is there really a hidden power in my body?"

"Of course I'm not saying that to tease you."

Hideki smiled and said,

"In fact, no matter who it is, there is a power hidden in their body that they themselves are not even aware of."

"It's just that I can't bring it out due to my physical limitations."

"And Kai, you have been undergoing all kinds of hard training since you were young, so your potential is naturally far beyond your peers."

"It may be difficult for you to understand just by saying this."

"If you trust me, the teacher, I can let you see the hidden power in your body in advance."

Of course Kai trusted Hideki, and nodded eagerly:
"Teacher Hideki, please let me see."

"Then Kai, relax your body first and don't resist my chakra."

After saying that, Hideki quietly activated the telepathic technique, and then put his hand on Akai's mushroom head.

Then his five fingers shot out several extremely thin chakra threads, which slowly penetrated into the acupuncture points on the top of Akai's head.

Finally, Hideki silently said in his heart:

"Eight Gate Acupuncture Method - Open the gate... Open!"
