Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 47 Still Water: In the end, it was all for naught.

In the arena, the close-quarters battle between Chiga and Kakashi was also coming to an end.

The speed they displayed was elite-level even among Chunin, not to mention their dazzling swordsmanship.

However, Chikashi was ultimately more skilled. He moved as fast as the wind to get close to Kakashi, his eyes flashing with tomoe. He quickly noticed Kakashi's weakness and seized the opportunity. Chikashi held his sword with both hands and slashed horizontally at Kakashi's waist.

Kakashi hadn't expected Chiga to be so fast, so he could only hastily defend himself, instinctively holding his short sword in front of his chest.

Clang!

After a crisp metallic sound, Kakashi awkwardly blocked Chiga's attack, but he didn't expect Chiga's slash to be so powerful. His right hand hurt, and he couldn't hold onto the short sword for a moment.

Kakashi, despite losing his weapon, remained calm. As he retreated, he pulled out several shuriken from his ninja tool pouch and threw them at Chiga, buying himself some time.

At the same time, his hands quickly formed hand seals, seemingly wanting to settle the matter with ninjutsu.

Facing the flying shuriken, Chiga made no attempt to dodge. Seizing the opportunity, he slashed his katana through the air and precisely cut all the shuriken to the ground.

"Kakashi, your hand seals are pretty fast!"

Then, he noticed Kakashi forming hand seals to release a ninjutsu and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

That hand seal speed is truly worthy of Kakashi, who has been single for six years.

Could it be the effect of the book I gave him?

"But ninjutsu isn't just about speed!"

Chika clasped his hands together, gathering chakra within his body, and uttered a soft shout: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Instantly, a ball of flame shot out from Chiga's mouth, forming a fireball that hurtled towards Kakashi.

Kakashi, who was forming hand seals: "?"

The water gate and the still water being observed: "."

[Negative emotions from Kakashi Hatake, emotion value +50!]

[Negative emotions from Uchiha Shisui, emotion value +10!]

[Negative emotions from Minato Namikaze, emotion value +10!]

Do you want to hear what they're saying?

I thought Chiga meant to compare the power of ninjutsu, but I didn't expect Chiga to use a simplified fire jutsu seal instead.

Kakashi stared blankly as the enormous fireball hurtled towards him, the scorching flames even singeing a significant portion of his white hair.

What kind of seal is this?

Just then, Minato suddenly appeared in front of Kakashi, blocking the way between the Fireball Jutsu and Kakashi, and slashing the Fireball Jutsu hard with a kunai in his hand.

The fireball was cleaved in two and dissipated in the air.

Chiga's expression hardened.

Although it's a simplified version of the Great Fireball Technique with fewer markings and less power, it's still a ninjutsu.

Minato-senpai, you just killed him with a kunai like that? Isn't that a bit disrespectful to the Uchiha clan's secret techniques?

"Alright, Chiga, I have a general understanding of your strength. Let's end this sparring here."

Seeing that neither of them intended to make another move, Minato also said something.

As for the outcome of the sparring match, everyone knew perfectly well.

Kakashi knew he had lost, and lost to Chiga in every way.

He was defeated in both taijutsu and ninjutsu, not to mention genjutsu. With the Sharingan, Kakashi had no need to go looking for trouble.

However, he was not discouraged. His father said that he had not yet taught him the family's ninjutsu, which was said to be called something like the Thousand Years of Death. His father was famous in the ninja world because of this!

"Minato-senpai, how did you get here?"

At this moment, Chiga appropriately expressed her surprise.

Minato showed the kunai in his hand and then gave a brief explanation.

"You mean this? This is the Flying Thunder God Technique! I can teleport to places marked with the Flying Thunder God mark. You can see my mark on this kunai."

Chiga pretended to listen, then revealed a longing look in her eyes and asked, "Minato-senpai, if I may be so bold, may I ask if I can learn it?"

"I'm sorry, but this is a forbidden ninjutsu with a difficulty level of S, and it cannot be taught to outsiders without the Hokage's permission."

"If you truly wish to acquire this Flying Thunder God Technique, you must accumulate sufficient battle merits and personally exchange it with the Hokage. Furthermore, you should diligently complete as many missions as possible!"

Minato shook his head, expressing his regret.

Minato could understand Chiga's idea; in fact, anyone who had seen the Flying Thunder God Technique wanted to learn it.

However, the Flying Thunder God Technique is very difficult to learn. For those without talent, it's a problem not only to get started, but also to find the door.

Secondly, you need to have enough battle achievements to learn this ninjutsu.

Furthermore, Minato also felt that it would be very difficult for Chika to obtain the Flying Thunder God Technique from the village. This ninjutsu was originally developed by the Second Hokage to target the Uchiha clan, so there was no reason for the Uchiha clan to learn it.

However, considering that Chiga had Kushina protecting her, Minato didn't make any definitive statements.

Minato knows his girlfriend Kushina quite well. If he really pushes Kushina too far, he might as well steal the Scroll of Seals.

"Oh dear, it's already noon. Shisui, catch some fish for the two seniors. We'll have grilled fish for lunch today."

Since this was already Uchiha clan territory, and Minato and Kakashi were considered guests, Chiga felt he should at least show some hospitality to Shisui, so he gave the order.

As for why we didn't treat everyone to a meal at a restaurant, it's because the fish in this river are fresh, delicious, and pollution-free.

Minato and Kakashi weren't particular about such things, so they didn't pay attention to Chiga's money-grubbing nature.

Seeing Shisui go to catch fish, he helped Chiga start a fire.

Before long, Zhi Shui also returned with seven or eight small fish weighing over a pound each.

Skillfully clean the fish's internal organs and insert a wooden stick.

The group sat around the fire.

While waiting for the fish to cook, we chatted idly, and the time passed quickly.

As the aroma of grilled fish filled the air, everyone began to eat.

"Raven feather, here you go!"

After carefully grilling a fish, Shisui looked at the crow feather on Chiga's shoulder and handed the fish over.

Crow Feather glanced at Shisui twice before taking the grilled fish in its mouth. Then, under Shisui's expectant gaze, it turned and brought the grilled fish to Chiga's mouth.

Chiga smiled and shook his head, and then Yaba began to eat heartily.

Zhi Shui: "." In the end, it was all for naught.

[Negative emotions from Uchiha Shisui, emotion value +50!]

Upon seeing this, Kakashi said, "Chiga, you're just an ordinary crow, aren't you?"

"Yes." Chiga nodded, then asked疑惑地问道, "Is there a problem?"

"You should know about the Inuzuka clan, right? My ninja dog was purchased from their clan."

Chiga certainly knew about the Inuzuka clan; they were professional dog breeders. She and the Uchiha clan didn't get along, since one liked cats and the other liked dogs. It was already a lot of face for Konoha that they started fighting before they even met.

Tomorrow's update will be a little late. A friend is getting married today, and I have to go celebrate with them, so I won't have time to write.

Bridesmaids, here I come!
