Saiyans in the Naruto world

When Naruto heard what Karot said, he was somewhat impressed by Karot. Even though he could only desperately dodge, Karot was still so stubborn.

"He's arrogant. But he has the right to be arrogant."

Even the usually arrogant Sasuke shared the same thoughts as Naruto at this moment.

"Ah."

Sakura, who had kept quiet all along, shared the same thought as her two companions.

Only Kakuzu, who had spent several years with Carrot, didn't think Carrot was being arrogant; instead, he questioned Kakashi. Because if Kakashi only had that kind of speed, he definitely couldn't hurt Carrot. Hadn't they seen that after all this time, Kakashi still hadn't managed to harm Carrot in the slightest?

"as you wish."

As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, even more lightning energy surged from his body. The ground, unable to withstand the release of this energy, began to crack.

Kakashi swung his sword, unleashing a burst of energy accompanied by lightning. A deafening explosion erupted from the ground – this was the result of Kakashi's ordinary sword swing.

Now, Karot not only has to guard against Kakashi's swordsmanship but also his lightning power.

"This is getting a bit tricky."

Seeing the strength Kakashi displayed, Karot couldn't help but feel a little worried. It would take some time to subdue Kakashi.

Kakashi wouldn't give Karot time to hesitate. He immediately launched his attack, employing the Hatake clan's swordsmanship. Kakashi's approach differed from Hatake Sakumo's. Kakashi believed that speed was the ultimate weapon in martial arts, so his swordsmanship was as swift as the wind and as fast as thunder.

"so fast."

Those present couldn't see the sword in Kakashi's hand at all. They could only see the cracks left by the sword as the two of them passed by.

"As expected of Carrot's brother."

Kakashi's displayed strength shocked even Kakuzu. Even with his power, he was no match for Kakashi.

Kakashi thrust his sword forward, and Karot jumped back, thinking he had escaped Kakashi's attack range. However, unexpectedly, the katana in Kakashi's hand began to lengthen due to the chakra covering it, and Karot sensed the sharpness of the chakra.

Kakashi's face lit up with joy; he had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Chapter 122 begins to unleash its ultimate move.

Kakashi's chakra blade pierced through Karot's body.

"This……"

Everyone was shocked to see Karot pierced through. They hadn't expected Kakashi to be aiming for Karot's life.

Are these really two brothers?

The thought simultaneously surfaced in their minds.

"wrong."

Sasuke, who possessed the Sharingan, only saw Karot being pierced by a blade formed from chakra, but he did not see any blood flowing out.

Kakashi had the same thought; he didn't feel the sensation of stabbing into flesh, it felt like swinging a knife in the air.

"Snapped."

Kakashi felt a light tap on his right shoulder from behind.

"What's going on? How come there are two Carrots?"

They saw two Carrots, one in front and one behind.

As Carrot, who had been stabbed, gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, they realized it wasn't a clone or a substitution jutsu, which was why they looked so shocked.

"so fast."

Only Kakashi and Kakuno, who were present, knew what had happened: Carrot was too fast, too fast for anyone's eyes to react to. He teleported away, but his figure hadn't disappeared yet.

This was Karot's Instant Transmission. Just as Kakashi was about to stab him, Karot seized Kakashi's energy and moved behind him. He hadn't expected Kakashi's sword to extend, and he almost suffered a fatal accident. His image as the older brother would have been tarnished.

After being tapped on the shoulder, Kakashi instinctively sheathed his sword and thrust it backward, but Carrot seemed to have anticipated this move. He took a step back, just out of Kakashi's attack range.

"Boom."

Kakashi's attack on Karot changed from one to two, attacking him from the left and right respectively.

Seeing this, Carlo placed his right hand in front of him, extended his index finger knife, and channeled his energy into his index finger.

Kakashi's attack arrived, and with a clang, Carrot blocked Kakashi's sword technique with his index finger. No matter how dense Kakashi's swordsmanship was, Carrot dealt with it very calmly, and did not fall into a disadvantageous position in the face of two opponents.

Seeing someone block such exquisite swordsmanship with just their fingers for the first time was a huge shock to Naruto and Sasuke. Kakashi's swordsmanship was undeniably formidable; a glance at the battlefield revealed its power. The deep, seemingly bottomless cracks in the ground, stretching endlessly, foreshadowed the destructive force of Kakashi's swordsmanship. Anyone touched by it would certainly meet a bad end.

But seeing Karot block the attack with just one finger made Sasuke tremble uncontrollably. He too longed for such power. Because of their clans, Sasuke and Naruto had exceptional vision. They both knew that such strength was unique in the entire ninja world. Their gazes towards Karot were burning with fervor. Sakura, on the other hand, showed fear in the face of such power. This was understandable; being a commoner, her starting point was far lower than those two overpowered individuals. Faced with power beyond her comprehension, her choice was to dodge and avoid injury.

Karot caught one of Kakashi's katana between his fingers, a ninja version of "Spiritual Finger." Kakashi tried to pull the sword out, but no matter how hard he tried, it was no use; Karot held the sword firmly in his hand.

"Click."

Karot forcefully snapped Kakashi's katana in two. This result surprised even Kakashi.

"Just how much force was that?"

Karot wouldn't give Kakashi any time to react. He teleported forward, appearing right in front of Kakashi, and tapped Kakashi's headband with his finger. "Bang!" Kakashi's clone was instantly destroyed by Karot.

"hiss."

Kakashi gasped, the pain from the clone transferring to his main body, causing him to momentarily freeze; the spot hit was simply too sensitive. Not everyone is like Naruto, having a tailed beast to bear the pressure.

This allowed Kakashi to act even faster. He didn't have much time left, and maintaining this level of chakra was taking a heavy toll on his body.

Kakashi placed his katana in front of him, blade facing upwards, and continuously increased the amount of chakra he channeled into the sword. As he absorbed a large amount of chakra, the blade emitted a dazzling light.

Karot knew Kakashi was about to unleash a powerful attack, and he became interested in it as well. So he stood there and waited.

"Boom, boom."

Kakashi's technique caused a change in the heavens and earth. The once clear sky began to darken, and a dark cloud drifted in, containing the boundless power of nature.

"This this……"

Naruto was so frightened by the scene that he fell to the ground. This was completely beyond his imagination, and even Sasuke, who had been trying to look cool, was now trembling. Sakura and Tazuna were even more terrified.

"Damn, are these two brothers risking their lives? Is it really necessary to go this far?"

If it weren't for the fact that Karot genuinely cared about Kakashi, one might suspect that Karot had done something heinous that made Kakashi hate him so much.

Everyone knows that whenever Kakudo visits a place, he buys two souvenirs, one for Sakumo Hatake and the other for Kakashi. During their conversation, Kakudo frequently mentioned Kakashi, his concern for him evident.

The reason for their relationship is that the two brothers grew up together. Because Sakumo Hatake was frequently away on missions, only the two brothers were left at home. As the older brother, Karot began to fulfill his responsibilities, taking care of his younger brother. However, when they were four years old, the roles reversed, and Kakashi began taking care of Karot. Thus began their love-hate relationship, with Karot always gaining the upper hand, and Kakashi's days of being bullied began. And since Kakashi wasn't one to tattle, it was obvious that Karot enjoyed seeing Kakashi's expression of wanting to fight back but being unable to. Every time Kakashi improved his strength, he would challenge Karot to a sparring match.

This time, it was several years after Karot disappeared. Kakashi resented him for disappearing for so long without sending any news home, making him worry unnecessarily. He knew Karot possessed the Instant Transmission technique, making his return incredibly easy, yet Karot had never used it. Also, there was the matter involving Kakashi and Shizune; Kakashi simply wanted to beat him up. This wasn't Kakashi being petty or holding a grudge for years; he just genuinely wanted to give Karot a good beating.

"boom."

A bolt of lightning descended from the dark clouds, striking Kakashi's katana directly. Kakashi raised the katana above his head. The lightning, as if finding its target, struck again.

Chapter 123: Hard Talk

Dark clouds loomed, signaling a change in the world.

Kakashi channeled lightning that rained down relentlessly, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"Come on."

Sasuke sensed something was wrong. Given the destructive power of the lightning, this place was not safe. Sasuke reminded the others to retreat to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

After saying that, Sasuke left first. Seeing Sasuke's actions, Naruto and Sakura, along with Tazuna, followed Sasuke.

"Try my strongest move, my dear brother."

"Lightning Release: Thunder God's Formation".

As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, lightning poured down from the dark clouds.

"Boom."

Kakashi pointed his katana at Karot, and thousands of bolts of lightning shot towards Karot as if on command.

"Well done, Kakashi."

Karot sincerely praised Kakashi, and Kakashi's improvement in strength greatly pleased Karot. In this dangerous ninja world, strength is always the guarantee of one's safety. As Karot's only two weaknesses, he naturally hoped that Kakashi would become as strong as possible.

This battle was also a test for Kakashi to show Karot that he had been improving all these years. Karot knew Kakashi's intentions the moment he made a move; this was the unspoken understanding between the brothers.

Carrot kept dodging, but the power of lightning seemed to be equipped with radar, relentlessly chasing after Carrot.

"Bravo."

"Is this still considered human strength?"

Sasuke and Naruto stood atop the tree, utterly unable to comprehend the scene. Each explosion caused by the lightning created a deep crater in the ground. If such power were to strike a person, they would likely be reduced to ashes.

Karot knew he couldn't keep hiding, because the lightning had already caught his breath. As long as Karot was alive, the lightning would follow him. The solution was simple: either withstand the lightning with his body or eliminate the lightning's master, Kakashi.

A bolt of lightning the size of a fist shot straight at Carrot. Carrot made his move, abandoning his previous dodging and slapping the lightning with his hand, causing it to change direction.

"boom."

The storm from the explosion tousled Carrot's hair.

"Is this still possible?"

Sasuke saw how easily Kakashi's attack was dealt with by Karot.
