Naruto: What do you mean you're from the Head-Touching Village?

heavy rain.

Kakashi sat on the swing in the park with his head down, his eyes vacant. Rain fell on him, sliding down his hair and onto his face, but he seemed completely oblivious to it.

Kakashi only looked up once when a figure walked past him, but it was just a glance before he looked down again.

"Why are you here?"

Qiu Rishun leaned against the swing stand, holding an umbrella.

"I heard you were in a bad mood, so I came to see you. After all, I promised Lord White Fang that I would take good care of you."

When Kakashi heard the keyword "Snow Fang," his mouth opened slightly as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't utter a sound.

If it were before, Kakashi would have said something like, "Who needs you to take care of them!" when he heard Shun say this.

But now, Kakashi didn't refute anything. He simply looked up at the sky, letting the raindrops fall on his face, and after a long while, he finally spoke:

"If one day, an accident occurs during a mission, forcing you to choose between protecting your comrades and completing the mission, which would you choose?"

After his father's death, Kakashi had been pondering this question. He had assumed that Shun Akihito would also be lost in thought when faced with it, but Shun immediately replied after listening:

"I have no choice, and I wouldn't make that choice, because I can do both protecting my comrades and completing the mission at the same time."

Upon hearing Akira Shun's answer, Kakashi became anxious, his speech quickening considerably: "What if? You have to choose one!"

Seeing Kakashi's anxious state, Akira Shun knew that he had achieved his goal.

He never considered talking Kakashi, and he knew that Kakashi at this time was completely incapable of listening to any kind of talk.

In the original work, Kakashi only had an effect when Obito's talk-no-jutsu worked during the "Battle of Kannabi Bridge" when Rin Nohara was kidnapped. However, it only had an effect, and the final change came after Obito gave him his eyes.

Kakashi, at this point, has not experienced anything yet. The so-called conflict between comrades and missions is still just a thought in Kakashi's mind. Before experiencing a real choice event, Kakashi will absolutely not be able to understand it!

Then let's use the simplest method: ignite Kakashi's emotions and let them explode!

Releasing the emotions that have been suppressed inside is at least much better than what's happening now.

Therefore, when faced with Kakashi's question, Shun Akihime simply looked at him calmly.

There are no "ifs".

Kakashi suddenly turned his head and looked at Shun Akihito. Seeing Shun answer the question that had troubled him for so long in such a calm tone, for some reason, he just felt annoyed.

"That's just a ridiculous argument!"

After roaring, Kakashi quickly stood up and raised his fist to smash it towards Shun's face!

However, Akihi Shun easily dodged the attack by simply turning his head to the side.

Seeing that his attack had been dodged, Akira Shun's eyes were still full of mockery. Kakashi's face turned even redder, and he kept attacking Akira Shun with punch after punch. However, all his attacks were easily dodged by Akira Shun. Finally, Akira Shun jumped back and quickly widened the distance between the two.

Seeing this, Kakashi didn't say anything, but silently drew his White Fang Blade from his waist.

"Fine, then I'll fight you."

When Qiu Rishun saw this scene, he knew he had succeeded. He smiled and threw the umbrella aside, and the rain poured down on him. In just a few breaths, the torrential rain soaked him completely.

He took out a scroll, and with a "bang," a chakra dagger exactly like the White Fang Blade appeared in Akihi Shun's hand.

The moment Kakashi saw the White Fang Blade, his pupils contracted, and he stared at Shun Akihi in disbelief.

"How did you get that knife?"

"Oh, you mean this? After you used the White Fang Sword Technique last time, I wanted to learn it too, so I got a similar chakra blade."

This is a lie.

Actually, this thing was a gift after I won the [Kakashi Hatake (Young)] lottery; it's a genuine product.

However, Kakashi became even angrier after hearing this.

What does it mean to "want to learn and just go for it"?

Am I really that easy to learn in swordsmanship?

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Kakashi had already vanished from the spot, but this time was different from the last.

Last time, Shun Akihi stood still, waiting for Kakashi's attack. This time, Shun Akihi followed Kakashi's Shunpo!

It's even faster than Kakashi's Shunpo!

While Kakashi was still searching for Shun Akihito, Shun Akihito appeared behind Kakashi and slashed at him with his sword!

Kakashi didn't react until he heard the sound of the short sword cutting through the air. He quickly held the White Fang Blade behind him and barely managed to block the attack. However, his defense was too hasty, and even though he blocked the attack, the powerful force of Autumn Shun caused him to lose his balance.

Autumn Shun followed up with a kick, sending Kakashi flying more than ten meters away!

Kakashi did a 360-degree spin in the air before landing on the ground. He had just stood up, supporting himself on the dirt, when Akatsuki Shun was already in front of him, swinging his White Fang Blade once again!

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

The continuous clanging of metal echoed throughout the park.

The White Fang Blade is a chakra short sword. The correct way to use it is to attach chakra to it. However, at this moment, neither Shun Akihito nor Kakashi used chakra. They were purely competing with their swordsmanship!

However, after only 20 or so exchanges between the two, Kakashi discovered something very frustrating.

Although I'm very reluctant to admit it, Akiga Shun's White Fang Sword Technique is stronger than his!

How is that possible!

He was taught by the founder of the White Fang Sword Technique from a young age!

How come this guy can become so proficient after only one battle!

Kakashi knew that this couldn't go on any longer. If it came down to a simple swordsmanship contest, he would never be able to defeat Akihi Shun!

Seizing an opening in Autumn's attack, Kakashi quickly used Body Flicker Technique to escape the area.

After creating a safe distance, Kakashi wanted to use ninjutsu directly, just like during the last combat test. He also wanted to show Shun that he was working hard and had learned new ninjutsu!

He's a genius too!

Unfortunately, this time Akiga Shun is not going to give Kakashi another chance to use ninjutsu.

Just as Kakashi was gathering his chakra and preparing to form hand seals, he suddenly heard a "buzzing" sound in his ear.

The sounds were dense and numerous, as if thousands of sounds were superimposed at the same time, and even a sharper, more explosive sound appeared!

It's almost like...

Birdsong!
