People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

Sasuke used the Lightning Release chakra within his body to stimulate his body, forcibly breaking free from Shikamaru's Shadow Imitation Technique, and quickly formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

Sasuke spat out a giant fire dragon from his mouth, attacking Kiba and Akamaru.

The moment Kiba and Akamaru's Fang-To-Fang technique touched Sasuke's Fire Dragon, the Fire Dragon exploded violently, and the force of the impact sent Kiba and Akamaru flying.

Akamaru reverted to his dog form, and the scorching heat burned off most of his fur.

Chapter 294 Sasuke vs. Kakashi

"Akamaru!"

Seeing that the flames on Akamaru's body were still spreading, Kiba disregarded his own injuries and rushed to Akamaru's side to extinguish the flames.

Sasuke's actions show that he really wanted to kill them.

Ino, who had initially wanted to chat and reminisce with Sasuke, was now frozen in place.

Shikamaru frowned, pondering a plan for retreat and escape, intending to first calm Sasuke down with words.

"We were once comrades in the Ninja Academy, there's no need to go to such lengths, is there?"

Sasuke sneered, "Comrades? When the Uchiha clan of Konoha was wiped out, all of you ninja clans were involved. Now you're talking to me about comrades?"

"But that matter is in the past, isn't it? Your Uchiha clan has already left Konoha, and now you're representing the Village of Blazing Sun to participate in the Chunin Exams in Konoha. Going too far might not be a good idea."

In Shikamaru's view, since the Kagerou Village participated in Konoha's Chunin Exams, it meant that they wanted to cooperate with Konoha.

Shikamaru attempted to use the village of Kagerou to intimidate Sasuke, hoping to persuade him to quit.

"Don't try to intimidate me with our village. It was Konoha that invited us here, and the rules of this exam were also set by Konoha. Even if I kill you, you can only blame Konoha!"

Sasuke picked up the katana from the ground, slightly lowered his body, and lightning crackled all over his body.

"Everyone, split up and run! I'll hold him off!"

Shikamaru planned to use the Shadow Imitation Technique to restrain Sasuke, buying time for the others to escape.

Choji, however, was unwilling to leave and asked Shikamaru, "What about you?"

"Don't worry about me, I have a way to get back safely!"

Shikamaru's shadow swiftly reached out to grab Sasuke's shadow.

"Ha, you think sacrificing yourself will save everyone else? How naive!"

"Breathing of Thunder? Fifth Form: Heat Realm Thunder!"

Sasuke swung his blade, and a bolt of lightning, radiating intense heat, struck Shikamaru.

The flash of lightning dispelled Shikamaru's shadow.

Faced with this lightning, Shikamaru was completely helpless. The light of the lightning suppressed the shadow, and no matter how Shikamaru had a strategy to deal with the enemy, it would be completely useless against Sasuke's strength.

"Escape? Earth flow wall!"

At the critical moment, a wall of earth suddenly rose from the ground in front of Shikamaru.

Four dog heads are also carved on the earthen wall.

"Phew, thank goodness I made it in time."

Kakashi and Guy appeared above the earthen wall.

Sasuke coldly watched Kakashi and Guy arrive suddenly and said sarcastically, "Konoha really is a village that breaks its promises. They actually broke the rules on their own initiative."

"Uchiha Sasuke, this is just a test, there's no need to kill me!"

Sasuke sneered, "Your presence here means you've been monitoring me from the beginning. So why didn't you stop me when I killed those three guys from Kusagakure?"

Kakashi and Guy were speechless, choked by Sasuke's words.

"The purpose of this exam is to collect scrolls, not to kill people. Shikamaru, Shino, give me your scrolls."

Shikamaru and Shino each handed their team's scroll to Kakashi.

Kakashi tossed the scroll to Sasuke.

However, Sasuke unleashed a slash, severing both scrolls in two.

"You think I'm not capable enough to get the scroll, is that it?"

Kakashi frowned and said, "You know that's not what I meant. In this battle, they are no match for you, so they gave you the scroll and admitted defeat."

"I will get what I want myself. Everyone in this exam signed a death consent form. Why should people from Konoha be given special treatment?"

"Uchiha Sasuke, what exactly do you want?"

"It's simple. Since you want to protect them, then you should take their place."

Kai asked in a low voice, "Kakashi, what should we do? He looks like he's going to attack us."

“Our intervention has already broken the exam rules. It wouldn’t be good if we took further action. So, Kai, you take them away first, and I’ll deal with him.”

Kakashi was also in a dilemma, but for now he could only keep Sasuke calm and let Guy take them away first.

Kakashi looked at Sasuke and said, "I'll stay and take their place."

Guy left with the six of them, and Sasuke did not stop them.

"Kakashi Hatake, you with the Sharingan, I've heard of you before. The Sharingan belongs to our Uchiha clan. As a Konoha ninja, you are not worthy of possessing it."

"This Sharingan was entrusted to me by my best friend, and has nothing to do with your Uchiha clan."

"Irrelevant... Although I don't know which guy entrusted the Sharingan to you, that person must regret entrusting the Sharingan to the Konoha ninja who wiped out the Uchiha clan."

Kakashi was caught in a dilemma; Sasuke had already activated his three-tomoe Sharingan and locked onto him, making this battle seem inevitable.

"It's time to return your Sharingan to us. Thunder Breathing? First Form? Thunderclap Flash!"

Sasuke used a lightning-fast sword draw slash to strike Kakashi's neck.

Kakashi's pupils suddenly contracted.

Compared to the speed seen through the crystal ball, you only realize how fast Sasuke is when you actually face him.

Ordinary eyes couldn't even see Sasuke's movements clearly.

With his extensive experience, Kakashi took a small step back, narrowly dodging Sasuke's slash.

Kakashi, not daring to be careless, moved the headband covering his left eye upwards, revealing his Sharingan.

However, Sasuke's next attack was already underway.

Thanks to the Sharingan's excellent dynamic vision, Kakashi was able to barely make out the trajectory.

Kakashi used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge.

Sasuke's attack landed on the tree trunk.

The tree was instantly split in two.

Kakashi's original plan was to get rid of Sasuke's entanglement after Guy and the others left.

However, given Sasuke's speed and strength, it was impossible for him to escape Sasuke's grasp.

Even a slight mishap could result in injury.

Kakashi now has no choice but to fight.

Kakashi formed hand seals, but had to stop halfway through.

Because Sasuke's attack came again.

"Breathing of Thunder? Fourth Form: Far Thunder!"

After Sasuke's body erupted with lightning, he charged forward at lightning speed, closing in on Kakashi in the distance before unleashing a high-speed slash with his blade.

Sasuke, who successfully hit Kakashi, showed no smile.

Because the feel of hitting with the katana wasn't right.

Kakashi's body turned into a puddle of mud.

"Earth Substitute? When did you form the hand seals?"

Sasuke suddenly remembered a small action Kakashi made when he moved his headband to his forehead.

"I see. So you were already using ninjutsu back then. As expected of Kakashi Hatake, the Konoha technician."

Kakashi's forehead was covered in cold sweat; at this speed, there wasn't even time to form hand seals.

Illusion techniques had no effect on Sasuke, who possessed the Sharingan.

In terms of taijutsu, Kakashi didn't think he could even touch Sasuke.

It seemed like everything was going against Kakashi.

Chapter 295 The Tower

Even with sweat dripping into his eyes, Kakashi, hiding in the shadows, didn't dare to blink.

Sasuke might launch his attack in the blink of an eye.

Sasuke's strength is largely due to his extremely fast speed.

The most important thing now is how to reduce Sasuke's speed.

"Thunder Breathing? Fifth Form? Heat Realm Thunder!"

Sasuke unleashed a barrage of intensely hot lightning, successfully forcing Kakashi to retreat.

However, Kakashi's hand seals were also completed.

"Water escape? Water formation wall!"

Kakashi created a vertical wall of water from bottom to top to protect himself.

Sasuke retorted sarcastically, "Using Water Release to block my lightning? Are you underestimating me, or are you just a piece of trash?"

"Thunder Breathing? Second Form? Inari Soul!"

The instant he activated his breathing technique, he unleashed a lightning-shaped five-hit combo at Kakashi.
