Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

He was like a sharp blade concealed within its edge, seemingly ordinary, but that was only because he had not yet drawn his sword.

"Oh, it's him. Has this little guy grown up so much?"

Tobirama Senju sized up Sakumo Hatake's appearance and laughed from the bottom of his heart:

"When I first saw him at the ninja academy, I had a feeling that this kid had potential and talent..."

"Now he's quite an impressive ninja, that's great, he can be considered a leader among the common people."

Seemingly sensing Aoshui's skepticism, Tobirama Senju explained to himself:

"The Hatake clan was a family that established itself in the ninja world during the Warring States period based on the way of the samurai, but they were later retaliated against by their enemies. After the establishment of Konoha, only Sakumo remained as an orphan."

"They call themselves a ninja clan, but it's just a name."

Aokiji nodded knowingly. As expected of Tobirama Senju, the founder of the Anbu, he possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of ancient ninja information. However, what he uttered was:

"Tobirama, who asked you? My assessment is that since you weren't assigned a teacher in the Hokage lineage back then, your assertion has no weight. Hatake Sakumo was simply a product of pure, untamed talent..."

"Heh, the geniuses who emerged during my reign have no credit to me? How naive!"

Qing Shui shrugged, as if to ask for credit.

“Qingshui-kun, it’s pointless for ninjas like us to spar with most of our peers, and it’s also inconvenient to fight against those older, established ninjas.”

Kakashi and Aokiji nodded, then their gazes fell on Muramasa. They paused for a moment before continuing, "So, I'd like to exchange our training results with you. Please forgive me for bothering you."

"Please give it your all in this sparring session if possible. My father will be there to support us throughout to prevent any accidents from happening."

Qing Shui nodded slightly. Kakashi's considerations were very thorough, and what he said made sense.

At his age, it would be considered an extraordinary genius for his peers to master C-rank ninjutsu, but Kakashi mastered C-rank Earth Release before even enrolling in school, and was promoted to Jonin at the age of twelve.

But as he said, those veteran special jonin and jonin would not be willing to fight a young genius.

After all, there's nothing to talk about if you win, but if you lose, you become a tool for spreading the other person's reputation. Who would want to do that?

His father, however, was pushed too far, rendering his training pointless in actual combat.

But Kakashi didn't understand that for Qing Shui, fighting him didn't mean much.

Kakashi at this age hasn't even developed the Lightning Blade yet, how could he possibly fight against Aokiji?

Aokiji chuckled inwardly, looking at Kakashi's slightly defiant face: "Since Kakashi-kun has considered this so thoroughly, then I agree."

In fact, the person Qing Shui really wanted to fight was Hatake Sakumo, who stood behind Kakashi with a kind face.

This one is a standard Kage-level ninja, which will allow Qing Shui to better verify his own strength and know his own level.

After all, Madara Uchiha was keeping an eye on Aoshizu.

If you don't understand your own capabilities, you might run into serious trouble one day.

Even Qing Shui couldn't predict what kind of tricks this old man would pull.

"Let's defeat Kakashi first, and if we have the chance, we can try our luck against Sakumo Hatake..."

The second watch will be a little later.

I'm writing this during my lunch break, so please wait a moment, dear readers.

Chapter 42 Even geniuses have varying degrees of talent.

Kakashi and Aokiji stood facing each other.

Kakashi wore a black bodysuit with steel arm guards, and his sword sheath was placed behind his back like his father's. He looked like a drawn blade, his sharpness fully revealed.

Sakumo Hatake crossed his arms and looked at Kakashi and Aoki with a flicker in his eyes.

Although he told Kakashi not to worry, Sakumo Hatake was still looking forward to Kakashi's performance, as he was his own son after all.

"Qingshui-kun, I'm going to attack!"

"Come on, Kakashi-kun."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kakashi moved with lightning speed, pushing his speed to the limit in one fluid motion. He held his short sword horizontally in his hand and approached Qing Shui with incredibly subtle movements.

"Truly a combination of samurai and ninja, possessing both the ferocity of a samurai and the speed of a ninja..."

Aozuki sighed inwardly, and when he mentioned Muramasa, his Sharingan behind the black membrane slowly began to rotate.

Kakashi's speed, though incredibly fast, seemed to move in slow motion in Aozumi's eyes, thanks to the combination of Tobirama Senju's motor skills and the Sharingan's power.

Qing Shui casually swung his sword to the right.

The next moment, as if Kakashi had run into it himself, his short sword clashed precisely with the Muramasa, producing a metallic clang.

Kakashi's pupils suddenly dilated!

"A coincidence? How could someone predict my location so accurately!"

Meanwhile, Sakumo Hatake's expression gradually turned serious.

He didn't think it was a coincidence. In close combat like knife fighting, which tests reaction time extremely much, every move must be efficient, otherwise you will lose your rhythm and become very passive and embarrassed.

Qingshui felt the power coming from the short sword and laughed: "Kakashi, I'm a few years older than you, so I have a slight advantage. Please don't take offense."

Having said that, Qingshui pressed the edge of Muramasa's blade firmly against the short sword, increasing the force continuously!

Kakashi immediately felt he could not hold on any longer. Qingshui's power completely overwhelmed him, and the blade seemed to have a sticky quality, tightly binding his short sword and forcing him to compete with Qingshui in strength!

With just one miscalculation, Kakashi was completely at a disadvantage, and the situation seemed to turn into defeat in an instant.

"Uchiha Aokiji's power... something's wrong..."

Sakumo Hatake stared intently at Aoshimi's arm. He knew Kakashi's strength; although he couldn't match him, he wasn't entirely at a disadvantage among special jonin.

But the current situation even made Sakumo Hatake have some doubts: who is stronger, Aozumi or him?

Sweat streamed down Kakashi's face, his arms grew increasingly sore and weak, and he stared intently at Muramasa's alluring blade.

If he tries to dodge, Muramasa will use the momentum of his sword to swiftly strike...

"If this continues, I'll become exhausted, and the competition will be over!"

Kakashi hardened his heart, suddenly released his strength, and met Muramasa's slashing blade with lightning speed, throwing the shuriken hidden in his sleeve, aiming it at Aoshui's throat!

"What a plan."

Qingshui slightly turned his body to dodge the shuriken, while Kakashi quickly distanced himself from Qingshui.

"It's still because the body is too weak... Although a ninja's body has overwhelming power, it is really not right for him to be so afraid of this kind of iron weapon."

"If this weakness can be addressed, safety will be greatly improved, which will be of great benefit to combat."

While Kakashi was easing the soreness in his arms, Aoshui was also reflecting on the battle and absorbing its lessons.

If he had used ninjutsu such as Water Transformation Technique or Lightning Release Chakra Mode to evade ordinary physical attacks, he wouldn't have needed to pay attention to Kakashi's shuriken.

"Water Transformation Technique is a secret technique. As for Lightning Release Chakra Mode, I don't possess Lightning Release chakra properties..."

Qingshui was deep in thought when an electronic voice rang in his mind:

[Sensing Kakashi Hatake's strong desire to defeat the host, binding him as the target!]

Qing Shui's eyes lit up.

Kakashi's competitive spirit seems to be even stronger than he thought.

Compared to Tobirama Senju, who possessed all attributes, this old man knew far too many things, resulting in a more complex set of rewards, and his stimulation of Qing Shui had already reached a threshold.

But Kakashi is different. He is also a genius of all chakra natures, and he is still a young man. Apart from his chakra nature, he doesn't seem to have anything else to offer.

"Kakashi, I think I can't hold back anymore..."

Qingshui's expression changed, and the Muramasa in his hand burst into flames.

Originating from Uchiha Izuna's swordsmanship, although it is an analysis of Senju Tobirama's style, it surprisingly complements Muramasa without any sense of stagnation.

Kakashi's eyes narrowed, alarm bells rang in his mind, and a fierce sense of crisis attacked his subconscious.

"Earth Release: Earth Release Wall!"

The towering earthen wall standing in front of Kakashi gave him a sense of security.

"Wow... that amount of chakra is quite considerable."

Aokiji looked up at the towering earthen wall. As a seven-year-old ninja, this was definitely not something a ninja with a lack of chakra could release.

It can only be said that Kakashi's chakra level has always been Schrödinger's cat.

"But it's no use, Kakashi..."

As Qingshui brandished Muramasa, flames erupted from the blade like a fire dragon, roaring and biting at the earthen wall, melting it with sheer heat!

"Tch, all show and no substance. This brat still learned that bastard's swordsmanship."

Tobirama Senju curled his lip. This kind of ninja swordsmanship was Izuna Uchiha's early fighting style. In their later battles, both of them began to return to simplicity and no longer wasted chakra...

But Kakashi, facing the flames, didn't have the same critical mindset as Tobirama Senju, and stared dumbfounded at the sky filled with fire.

then.

Then, Qing Shui descended from the sky, carrying flames and blade wind, and slashed at him with an expressionless demeanor!

And this moment.

A wave of azure chakra slashing energy shot out from the side and collided with Muramasa at an extremely fast speed!

boom!

Instantly, dust filled the air and enveloped the training ground!

Aoshui squinted at his somewhat numb hands and looked at Hatake Sakumo, who had an apologetic expression on his face.

That slash just now was delivered by him.

No, are you the great swordsman of the One Piece world, or Kurosaki Ichigo?

Hatake Sakumo, did you wander into the wrong movie set, which is why you forced him offline?

Qingshui internally complained, and at this moment, he finally witnessed Hatake Sakumo's fighting style!

Kakashi froze on the ground, staring at Aokiji, whose demeanor remained calm, and finally realized the gap between them…
