Chapter 31 Shizune's Shock

When one has sufficient insight, one can perceive the flow of chakra and then attempt to replicate the ninjutsu of other ninjas.

boom!

The blades clashed again, the crisp sound echoing through the courtyard.

Kiyoshi deftly deflected the blade, forcefully jerking it back several steps, forcing Kakashi to retreat.

There are no other tricks, just sheer force to throw bricks.

Kiyoshi activated the cells near his wrist with "Cloud Hidden Stream: Asuka".

Because of the first green attribute, the Lightning Release Genin's adaptability to "Lightning" increased by 20%, which allowed Kiyoshi to gather more Lightning Release chakra in his wrist and then use "Cloud Hidden Style: Asuka".

Outwardly, this manifests as speed driving power, making each strike even more powerful!

Kakashi's short sword made a crisp sound under the immense force, then broke in two, the tip of which flew limply to the ground.

"It's broken."

Kakashi's broken sword remained in a blocking stance, sweat trickling down his face.

Kiyoshi slowly sheathed his sword, noticing as he did so that the blade was slightly curled, realizing it needed maintenance.

"You have mastered the entry: 【Swordsmanship for Friendship (White)】."

[Entry: Friendship Through Swords (White)]

[Requirement: Defeat Kakashi Hatake using swordsmanship.]

Progress: (Completed)

[Effect: When you use swordsmanship, chakra consumption is reduced by 10%.]

The familiar voice from the entry panel rang out.

Kiyoshi felt somewhat comforted.

At least a new entry was obtained.

The knife didn't rot for nothing; a little money spent on maintenance will fix it.

After all, the chances of getting an entry are not many.

"I need to pay for your knife..."

Qing Si asked.

If Kakashi makes him pay, Kiyoshi can only stall for time.

Kakashi shook his head, sheathed the broken sword, and said:

"No need, this was originally a training knife."

"Alright."

Qing Si can only be described as having deep pockets and being very wealthy.

Kakashi has a good father, after all.

Having completed so many tasks, there's no way I'd be short of money.

Kakashi lowered his head, staring at the broken sword fragments on the ground, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing this, Kiyoshi walked closer step by step and gently patted Kakashi on the shoulder.

"Kakashi, do you know why you lost?"

"Because you have the Sharingan, and another factor is that this sword has been trained for too long, it's probably close to breaking."

"..."

Kiyoshi discovered that Kakashi was somewhat sharp-tongued before he turned to the dark side.

"No, it's your mind that's in turmoil. Legend has it that when Lord Sakumo uses his swordsmanship, there's a layer of white light on his blade, but your white light... I didn't see it."

Kakashi's eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn't speak, remaining silent as if he had suppressed all his emotions deep inside.

Kiyoshi looked at him and said:

"I don't mean to rub salt in your wounds, I just want to say that this isn't your fault, and don't let those rumors control you."

If things continue to decline like this, how am I supposed to consistently generate trending keywords?

Kiyoshi just hopes Kakashi can be more proactive in becoming stronger.

The entry for White Fang Sword Technique hasn't been released yet.

There is only one attribute: "Swordsmanship for Friendship," which reduces chakra consumption by 10%.

Kiyoshi was very satisfied with this entry.

Swordsmanship and taijutsu are similar in nature; some techniques require chakra, while others do not.

However, the more powerful a taijutsu or swordsmanship is, the more it relies on chakra. For example, the Eight Gates Formation is a technique where the user releases the "gates" that control and suppress the flow of chakra within the body to generate a large amount of chakra, thereby strengthening the body to unleash taijutsu that exceeds the limits of the normal human body.

With this entry, if Kiyoshi needs 10% of his chakra to slash, while others can only slash ten times, he can slash one more time.

Furthermore, it can be upgraded, but it's unknown how much chakra consumption can be reduced when it reaches its peak.

"Keep it up!"

Kiyoshi said.

Kakashi remained silent, only pursing his lips and nodding slightly.

He knew Kiyoshi was right, but the village's attitude toward his father was truly perplexing to Kakashi.

There was even a sense that the importance of the mission was something that came before the thoughts of their companions.

That's all for today.

Kiyoshi stepped back a few paces and brandished the small katana he had sheathed.

"Next time we practice, you'd better break my knife, just to be fair."

Strictly speaking, this battle cannot be considered a victory for Kiyoshi.

Kakashi's sword broke, and he himself lacked fighting spirit, so he simply conceded defeat.

Once Kakashi goes mad, things will be hard to say.

At this moment, Shizune outside the courtyard was still watching the two of them.

A few strands of his short black hair fell across his face.

"Is Kiyoshi that strong?"

Shizune still remembers the first time she accompanied Lady Tsunade to see Kiyoshi. Kiyoshi was just an ordinary person who didn't know anything.

He was just lucky enough to awaken the Sharingan.

How long has it been? He's already able to fight Kakashi, and it seems he even has the upper hand?

"As expected, the Uchiha clan produces elites."

A silent sigh.

Of course, she silently ruled out a certain perennial bottom-of-the-class student in her mind.

…………

The next day.

The news of Hatake Sakumo has already spread throughout the Ninja Academy.

"Are you alright, Kakashi?"

Rin Nohara immediately went to find Kakashi, wanting to comfort him.

"I'm fine."

Kakashi's deadpan eyes looked even more listless than usual, clearly indicating that he had overheard a lot of condemnation and insults directed at his father on the way.

"Are you really alright...?"

Rin Nohara looked worried, wanting to do something for Kakashi, but not knowing how.

"What are you talking about?"

Obito looked puzzled.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been training with Kiyoshi, Rin Nohara, and Kakashi for a while and had fallen asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow every night, overcoming his habit of dozing off in class during the day, Obito would still be sleeping on his desk at this time.

"Don't you know, Obito?"

Rin Nohara looked at Obito with a puzzled expression.

Obito's information network is so poor.

"I don't know."

Obito shook his head innocently. What was he supposed to know?

"You two talk."

Kakashi got up from the table and walked to Kiyoshi.

"Kiyoshi, are you free to spar today?"

"have."

Kiyoshi nodded.

"Kakashi, Kiyoshi has already agreed to it."

Kurenai Yuhi, who was sitting in the lower left corner, suddenly turned around with wide eyes, her little face puffed out.
