From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

Faced with Kakashi's massive, menacing fireball, Sasuke narrowed his eyes, and instead of retreating, he advanced, gathering chakra in his feet and unleashing it in a swift burst, creating a shrill whistling sound as he charged towards the fireball.

There are two types of Body Flicker Techniques left behind by Uchiha Shisui. One is the most common and widely known Body Flicker Technique.

A technique that involves concentrating chakra in the legs and releasing it instantly, allowing the user to move at high speed.

Of course, even with this method, Uchiha Shisui made improvements to allow the user to achieve the greatest effect with the least amount of chakra.

Sasuke is using the first one right now!

Clang!

When Sasuke rushed to within five meters of the fireball, he suddenly drew his sword. A flash of crimson light appeared, and a huge blade of fire burst forth from the blade.

With a loud boom, it sliced ​​the fireball in two, and its momentum continued as it slashed towards Kakashi.

"That's a very powerful Fire Release sword technique."

Kakashi praised him, then leaped away from his spot, simultaneously drawing a 40cm long white short sword from his waist, its surface radiating white chakra light.

Weapon—White Fang!

This is the weapon once used by Kakashi's father. It is a specially made chakra short sword and a memento left to Kakashi. The White Fang Blade was broken by the blade of Hikari, a Jonin from Iwagakure, during the battle at Kannabi Bridge.

After the war, Kakashi collected the remains but never reforged it until he met Sasuke two years ago, at which point he finally reforged the broken sword.

Whoosh!

Kakashi had just dodged the flaming blade when Sasuke stomped his foot, leaving only afterimages in his wake. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Kakashi, his crimson katana whistling as it hurtled towards him with lightning speed.

What a great speed!

Kakashi's eyes flashed with surprise; Sasuke's speed had increased considerably since then.

However, he did not panic. He simply turned his right hand and placed it precisely on Sasuke's blade.

Clang!

With a resounding clang of metal clashing, Kakashi's hand went numb. He had never expected Sasuke to be so physically fit, especially with such immense strength.

"When I was your age, my strength was far inferior to yours, Sasuke."

Even as their swords clashed, Kakashi still had the leisure to offer a compliment.

If you're like me, consuming various high-end nutritional supplements for over four years.

In addition, there are various grueling physical training exercises.

If you also take medicinal baths with various precious herbs every day.

To possess such strength at this age!

Faced with Kakashi's praise, Sasuke remained calm and did not speak, but simply increased the pressure on his blade.

In recent years, Naruto has focused on taijutsu, spending far more time and energy on taijutsu training than Sasuke. Coupled with his own Uzumaki physique, it can be said that Naruto has now surpassed Sasuke in terms of taijutsu alone.

However, Sasuke's physical abilities were only slightly inferior to his, with no significant difference. This was because, in addition to rigorous physical training, Sasuke also engaged in various insane spending sprees to improve his physical condition.

"Looks like I need to get serious."

Feeling the immense force from the blade, Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze curving into crescent moons.

With a flick of his wrist, the short sword in his hand unleashed a burst of white lightning. The dazzling white light almost instantly filled Sasuke's vision; intense light often signifies intense darkness.

In an instant, Sasuke could barely see anything and had temporarily lost his sight.

But even in the face of near-blindness, Sasuke showed no sign of panic. Blindness can reduce a ninja's strength by as much as 90%.

However, for someone like Sasuke who has become accustomed to simulating blindness during training, the impact is indeed there, but at most only about 10%.

With a swift counterattack, Sasuke forced Kakashi back, and then flipped back ten meters away, quickly forming three hand seals.

"Instantaneous Movement Technique!"

In an instant, eight identical clones appeared around Sasuke.

This is the second Body Flicker Technique left behind by Uchiha Shisui, and it is also a Body Flicker Technique created by Uchiha Shisui himself.

According to the book, the Shisui-ryu Instantaneous Body Technique is to instantly create multiple clones with physical forms or afterimages, making it difficult for enemies to distinguish between the real and the fake.

If the enemy mistakes it for a phantom clone, the phantom clone will be instantly transformed into a solid or the original body to kill the enemy!

This is also the origin of Uchiha Shisui's name—Shisui of the Body Flicker.

When Sasuke saw this record, he was confused because the Shisui-ryu Body Flicker Technique had both physical clones and afterimage clones. At first glance, he thought it was a Body Flicker Technique that combined shadow clones.

However, Shadow Clone only requires one hand seal, while Shisui-ryu's Instantaneous Movement Technique requires three hand seals.

What Sasuke found even more difficult to understand was the effect of instantly converting the afterimage clone into the main body or physical clone.

This can already be considered a spacetime technique, turning the clone into a spacetime coordinate similar to the Flying Thunder God kunai.

However, Sasuke knew that Shisui's Body Flicker Technique was definitely not a space-time technique.

After years of careful research, Sasuke finally discovered the secret of this ultimate technique.

This Instantaneous Movement Technique is a combination of the Basic Clone Technique and the Shadow Clone Technique. It simultaneously creates intangible afterimage clones and physical shadow clones to perform high-speed moving slashes.

The shadow clones lure the enemy, confusing their vision to cover the real body's attack, while the main body hides behind the shadow clones and the shadow clones to deliver a fatal blow.

It even incorporates some of Uchiha Shisui's own genjutsu mastery techniques and psychological warfare skills.

In this way, it becomes very difficult for the enemy to distinguish between Shisui's physical form, his true body, and his afterimage; a moment of carelessness can lead to his demise.

It can be described as a kind of old-fashioned, repetitive ninjutsu.

"Uchiha Shisui's Body Flicker Technique?"

Kakashi was no stranger to the name Uchiha Shisui; the two had interacted before when they were in the Anbu and had carried out missions together.

He knew Uchiha Shisui's strength well; he had once estimated what it would be like if he fought Uchiha Shisui.

His chances of winning are at most 50%.

That is, as the saying goes, a 50/50 split.

Chapter 45 Sasuke vs. Kakashi (Part 2)

Faced with the signature skill left behind by his former colleague, with whom he had a 50/50 chance.

Kakashi's expression turned unusually serious as he lifted the headband covering his left eye, revealing the three-tomoe Sharingan hidden within.

Are we getting serious?

Seeing Kakashi begin to reveal his Sharingan, Sasuke thought to himself.

Although Kakashi has already used the Sharingan, Sasuke's eyes are still completely black.

It wasn't that he was arrogant, but rather that he didn't want to use the Sharingan.

Once a normal Sharingan awakens, the number of tomoe (comma-shaped markings) will only increase, not decrease.

He awakened with three tomoe, and when he uses it now, it will also appear as three tomoe.

As is well known, the Second Hokage was the person who studied the Uchiha clan the most deeply. Even many members of the Uchiha clan themselves did not understand the Sharingan as well as the Second Hokage.

The awakening of the Sharingan usually means that the Uchiha clan members are stimulated and can only awaken it. It has little to do with their own strength. The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, personally witnessed such changes countless times.

The Second Hokage would inevitably leave behind some texts about the Uchiha clan for the subsequent Hokage.

Sasuke has only experienced one major shock so far, which was the night his clan was massacred. Apart from that, there has been nothing else.

What Sasuke needs now is the Third Hokage's appreciation, not his fear. If the Third Hokage discovers that he awakens with three tomoe, it will inevitably arouse the Third Hokage's fear, and even Danzo's attention.

Therefore, over the years, he has never revealed the fact that he has awakened the Sharingan. Even Yakumo Kurama only knew that Sasuke had awakened the Sharingan, but did not know how many tomoe his Sharingan had.

Perhaps Yakumo Kurama had already guessed it while Sasuke was in his inner world, but she never mentioned it.

"Kakashi-sensei, watch out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke and his clone unleashed their full power, and with a surge of wind, they appeared in front of Kakashi in a flash.

They surrounded him, moving so fast and in such large numbers that they were like a dark shadow covering his face, a dense, oppressive mass.

'As expected of Shisui's Body Flicker Technique, even my Sharingan couldn't distinguish between the afterimage, the solid body, and the original for a moment.'

Kakashi sighed inwardly, his figure rapidly retreating backward, his short sword almost forming a dense blur of blades, the sounds of clashing swords echoing continuously.

Since we can't tell the difference, then....

Kakashi slashed with his short sword, unleashing a lightning bolt of incredible speed that barely forced Sasuke back before rapidly forming hand seals.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

A waterfall of water suddenly surged up in front of Kakashi, forming a wall of water that blocked Sasuke and his clones. The crimson sword made a strange hissing sound when it encountered the water.

"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!"

Kakashi had just used Water Wall when Sasuke came over, and immediately used Lightning Release: Lightning Release, instantly channeling lightning into the water and shattering Sasuke's clones.

The lightning continued to strike Sasuke's body at an extremely fast speed.

Sasuke only retreated half a meter, twisted the hilt of his sword, and the chakra metal katana in his hand instantly turned from red to white, with bolts of lightning crackling around it.

Kakashi's powerful Lightning Release: Earth Walk was like lightning encountering a lightning rod, involuntarily flowing into the blade, causing the light and lightning to shine brightly!

"Lightning Release: Lightning Return!"

Sasuke leaped into the air, wielding his swords in both hands, gathering fierce lightning. Accompanied by a surging gust of wind, he slashed down with tremendous force, tearing through the air.

A lightning strike in return?

What kind of ninjutsu is this?

It was clearly just directing my lightning technique towards the blade.

Kakashi mentally complained, but despite his internal complaints, Kakashi's actions were swift.

Faced with Sasuke's nonsensical lightning retaliation, Kakashi neither dodged nor yielded, quickly forming several hand seals.

"Rachel!"

Kakashi conjured blue lightning in his hand, the current so strong and the sound so loud that it made a piercing sound like the chirping of a thousand birds!

boom!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
