The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

The next moment, a burst of electricity crackled around Kakashi.

"Super speed!"

With the boost from Lightning Release chakra, Kakashi's speed increased dramatically.

It's several minutes faster than usual.

This speed surprised even Kurihachi.

Because Hachi discovered that Kakashi's speed was even greater than his own.

"So fast!"

"As expected of Kakashi Hatake."

"The number one young talent in Konoha."

"It's not comparable to that piece of junk from before."

However, Kurihachi became excited instead.

"If I defeat Kakashi like this, I might be able to directly become the second-best among the younger generation in Kirigakure."

Kurisaki Kohachi gripped the Blade of Destruction tightly in his hand.

"Ding!"

The two ninja swords clashed.

Kurihachi discovered a slight advantage of his own.

That is, the Blade of Destruction in his own hand is far more durable than the ninja sword in Kakashi's hand.

"Then let's fight with knives!"

Kuri-san Xiaoba grinned, revealing his jagged teeth.

A series of metal collision sounds were heard.

Kakashi felt his ninja sword seem to be groaning, and he frowned.

The next moment, a surge of chakra flowed from Kakashi's hand, enveloping the ninja sword.

"Hatake-ryu swordsmanship, first move, Ina Soul, lightning five-hit combo!"

This is the first sword technique that Kakashi developed after combining the Hatake-ryu sword technique with his own Lightning Release.

It is also the only one currently available.

It is not yet mature.

However, Kakashi is fine to fight again, but his ninja sword can no longer hold up.

Therefore, it is imperative to determine a winner as quickly as possible.

It's not mature yet, but it's usable.

Chapter 176 My match with Kakashi Hatake is even

Kakashi's sudden change caught Hachiko off guard.

And it's really strong.

Kakashi transplanted the Sharingan, and then removed it.

This process is like doing a weight training exercise.

More importantly, after confronting his past darkness, Kakashi picked up his family's Hatake-ryu swordsmanship and successfully developed a swordsmanship style that suited him.

Just like Kakashi didn't learn Minato Namikaze's Rasengan technique, but unexpectedly developed his own Chidori.

Li Xian Xiaoba only felt a flash of lightning pass in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, several wounds appeared on his body.

Chestnut Smoke's pupils contracted.

Reverse quickly.

"Fire erupts!"

A burst of flame, like a fire dragon, hurtled towards Kakashi.

Kakashi was forced to retreat.

After Kurihara Kohachi retreated to a safe position.

"Water Release: Water Mist Technique!"

Kurihara Kohachi realized that he couldn't fight Kakashi head-on, so he switched to using what he was good at.

"Assassination techniques."

Start with the water mist technique.

Ninjas without Byakugan are all subject to restraint.

Kakashi remained extremely vigilant.

Kurihara Hachi secretly came up behind Kakashi.

The ninja sword in his hand was thrust towards Kakashi.

Kakashi sensed it just before it hit.

"Ding!"

The two ninja swords clashed once more.

Kurihara Kohachi's attack missed, but it wasn't entirely fruitless.

The cracks on Kakashi's ninja sword grew even larger.

"Without your ninja sword, Kakashi, how can you still use your Hatake-ryu swordsmanship?"

Kurihara Kohachi retreated, looking for another opportunity to approach.

Of those outside, only the Hyuga ninjas could see what was happening inside.

"Very intense!"

"That Kushina Kohachi is very skilled in assassination."

"In a head-on fight, Kakashi has an absolute advantage, but Hachiko doesn't fight head-on."

"The main problem is that Kakashi was at a disadvantage in terms of ninja swordsmanship."

"Kakashi's ninja sword is too weak, it's holding him back."

"It's about to shatter."

"But what Kurihara Kohachi holds is a Great Grade Sword!"

The Hyuga ninja frowned.

Kurihara Hachi kept launching attacks on Kakashi.

at last.

"Ding!"

After another collision, the ninja sword in Kakashi's hand shattered.

This time, instead of retreating after one attack, Kohachi Kurishari launched a second attack.

"Pfft!"

But at the same time.

"Chidori!"

The two attacks hit each other simultaneously.

Both were injured.

Just then, the mist dissipated.

The two exchanged a glance, and as if by unspoken agreement, simultaneously stepped back.

Having progressed to this point, neither side needs to continue fighting.

Kakashi lost his ninja sword and can no longer use the Hatake-ryu sword technique.

Kurihara Hachi's ninja sword was intact, but he knew he no longer had the ability to pursue.

Kakashi's Chidori shot seriously injured Hachiko.

"But this time, it wasn't a loss either."

"Although I benefited from having a ninja sword, Kakashi cannot possess a great grade sword or a Zanpakuto-level ninja sword."

"That's my advantage."

"In this match, Kakashi and I are evenly matched!"

Kurihana Kohachi was looking forward to how everyone would evaluate her after today.

“This time, I should at least rank above Zabuza and Hozuki Mangetsu.”

And as Kurihara Hachi had predicted, things turned out exactly as he had.

For the younger generation of ninjas in Kirigakure, Kakashi seemed to have become a unit of combat power.

We can judge whether someone is a true genius by comparing them to Kakashi.

In this battle, Kurihara Hachi benefited from the advantage of his ninja sword, but on the surface, he was indeed evenly matched with Kakashi, resulting in a 50/50 situation. The people of Kirigakure simply considered it a draw.

In this case, the evaluation of Kohachi Kurishari improved significantly.

Ringo Ameyuri's thoughts were all on whether she was more suited to Lightning Release and whether she should learn it.

I didn't pay much attention to these comparisons.

Kisame Hoshigaki, on the other hand, is already quite detached.

Kisame Hoshigaki no longer cares about comparisons with the younger generation.
