I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

At that moment, Shigure, who was rapidly approaching him, swung her sword at him with unstoppable momentum.

The black blade was adorned with eerie blue patterns, accompanied by an incredibly sharp whistling sound.

Clang!

Sparks flew.

Kakashi gripped the kunai with both hands, and his arms throbbed with pain from the impact.

'Such strength! This kid is not only skilled in swordsmanship, but his strength is definitely not to be underestimated either!'

'This feels like I'm fighting that guy Kai!'

Moreover, the 'Kai' in front of us is a 'Kai' who is proficient in swordsmanship, which is quite bad.

The sword strike nearly forced Kakashi to retreat due to its power.

But Kakashi persevered.

But Shiyu smiled.

'As expected of Hatake Uchihachi, I won't hold back then!'

Hold the knife with both hands!

At that moment, a blue light seemed to bloom in Shigure's eyes.

His entire face seemed to have suddenly transformed into a demon in the night, and Kakashi couldn't help but tremble slightly when he saw Shigure like this.

Swish~ Swish~ Swish!

Shigure, gripping the swords with both hands, seemed to have suddenly gone berserk.

Zangetsu frantically swung his black sword, creating a series of afterimages that attacked Kakashi from all directions.

"Such a fast and crazy attack!"

Sasuke stared at the battle ahead, unable to see Shigure's movements clearly.

However, he knew very well that if he were facing such an attack, he would not be able to withstand it.

'This guy... was nothing special in the ninja academy, but after leaving, he turned into a monster! Damn it... was he just putting on an act all along?!'

'He made me the so-called number one, the so-called genius, but he, lurking in the shadows, is the truly terrifying one!'

Sasuke believed this was Shigure's scheme, to make him attract everyone's attention while he hid himself.

click!

Click! ! ! !

Suddenly, a strange sound rang out.

Naruto and Sasuke looked in Kakashi's direction.

Kakashi managed to block Shigure's continuous, frenzied slashes, but he couldn't hold out for long.

At this moment, the broken half of the kunai in the air is slowly rotating.

It landed on a nearby tree trunk and slammed into it.

Kakashi leaped out of the forest and landed on a clearing near the river.

Stay away from Naruto and Sasuke.

Hua Hua Hua...

Shigure dragged Zangetsu along, slowly walking towards Kakashi step by step.

The sharp blade kept rubbing against the gravel on the ground, sparks flying everywhere.

Kakashi watched Shigure approach and let out a soft breath.

"I never expected that you, at such a young age, would have honed your physique to this level. At the same time, your swordsmanship... is indeed very strong!"

"You have surpassed me in swordsmanship!"

Shigure didn't pay much attention to Kakashi's words.

However, Sasuke and Naruto were quite surprised.

He made the Jonin instructor admit that he was inferior to Shigure in swordsmanship.

Although swordsmanship is not the mainstream skill for ninjas, there is one ability that a genin can surpass that of a jonin.

This is already quite incredible.

"I'm going to get serious from now on, and I won't just fight you with swordsmanship anymore!"

"Your self-created swordsmanship is indeed very strong!"

Kakashi didn't want his lifelong reputation to be ruined today. If he were defeated by a newly graduated genin kid, how could he ever face Konoha again?

I'm sure Kai will laugh at me every day.

"Teacher! I haven't used my self-created sword technique yet!"

"But if the teacher wants to see it, I'll show it to the teacher right now!" Shi Yu smiled.

Ok?

Kakashi was stunned for a moment. Wasn't Shigure's continuous sword attacks just now his own sword technique?

Each strike was precisely aimed at the weak points of his defense, leading Kakashi to believe that the whirlwind-like attacks were Shigure's swordsmanship!

Isn’t it?

"Teacher, watch out!"

Suddenly, Shi Yu's voice rang out.

Kakashi suddenly looked up, in an instant!

Suddenly, it felt as if a drop of water had fallen onto the surface of a lake, shattering the tranquility of his heart in an instant.

Breathing!

boom!

Shi Yu suddenly took a heavy step and rushed straight towards him.

The speed remains as rapid as ever.

Kakashi reacted immediately and threw a shuriken in an attempt to stop Shigure's attack.

However, the speed of the rain did not decrease but increased.

"The First Form - Face Slash!"

The sound of rain began.

A stream suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The moment Shigure's Zangetsu slashed through, the astonishing stream converged to form an incomparably wide stream slash wave.

It swept towards Kakashi.

Kakashi's shuriken was instantly deflected.

If Kakashi hadn't jumped up the next second, he probably would have been sliced ​​in two by the sweeping Stream Slash.

A bead of cold sweat rolled down Kakashi's cheek as a giant tree behind him collapsed with a crash.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out.

Kakashi quickly turned around and caught a glimpse of Shigure out of the corner of his eye.

He had already appeared beside Kakashi.

Shigure lowered his body, gripping the sword with both hands, then suddenly raised his eyes and locked onto Kakashi.

"Fourth Form - Tide of Strike!!"

The moment the words were spoken, the black sword appeared in Kakashi's eyes.

The stream meanders!

The black blade seemed to flow swiftly through the trajectory formed by the current, rushing towards him with lightning speed.

Swish swish!

The moment the two figures crossed paths, the swirling energy surrounding Kakashi exploded instantly!

At the same time, Kakashi's body was suddenly split into ten pieces...

Naruto gasped sharply. Now, instead of marveling at Shigure's power, he realized that Shigure had... killed his teacher?

Just as Naruto was about to speak.

Shi Yu turned around and sped up, a slight smile playing on her lips.

He swung his sword again, aiming at the distance.

"Seventh Form - Shizuku Ripple Thrust!"

At that moment, Shigure's extremely fast thrust flashed out like a ray of light.
