I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

He thrust his sword into the bushes.

In an instant, Kakashi behind him turned into a piece of wood in the white smoke, which was then split into ten pieces.

A figure darted out of the bushes.

Chapter 64 Severing Thunder Technique VS Picking Up Form - Life Flow

The Third Hokage, who was watching the battle through the crystal ball, was surprised at the sight, but also smiled. As expected of Kakashi.

In such a short instant, he was still able to use the Substitution Technique.

Shigure's swordsmanship was indeed terrifying; his thrust was as fast as lightning.

But it looks incredibly gentle, like a babbling brook flowing through a summer forest.

But its power is completely different!

boom! !

A stream shot straight past.

Not only were the bushes destroyed instantly, but a long trail was also left on the ground.

A mark that ran for more than ten meters appeared.

Kakashi, who had dodged the attack with a scramble, stood up and looked back at the marks on the ground, feeling a wave of fear wash over him.

If I hadn't dodged in time, I probably would already have a bloody hole in my body.

'Is this kid... planning to kill me?'

While Kakashi paused, Shigure showed no sign of stopping.

This battle was incredibly enjoyable for Shigure.

carefree.

It's an unprecedentedly exhilarating experience; you don't have to worry about defeating your enemies, you just need to unleash your full power in your sword strike.

Strictly speaking, this was Shigure's first all-out battle.

"Third Form - Ryu Ryu Dance!"

After Shigure's attack, he immediately received the next sword strike.

Hearing Shigure's voice from 557, Kakashi's expression wasn't very good. This kid had been like that from the beginning until now.

The attacks continued, the attacks continued.

They don't even give themselves a moment to catch their breath.

Doesn't he get tired?

From the moment Shigure began to formally display his swordsmanship, the power of his swordplay completely stunned Kakashi.

Even for ninjas specializing in escape techniques, the power of ninjutsu is probably only this great!

Shigure incorporated this into his swordsmanship, releasing these attacks without needing to form hand seals.

The continuous attacks pose a significant challenge to one's stamina, chakra reserves, and control over nature transformation.

But Shiyu had absolutely no problems.

this moment.

Shigure's figure, accompanied by a sudden surge of water from who-knows-where, rushed towards them at high speed.

It felt as if I was stepping on a stream, the sound of rushing water filling the air the instant it started.

Shigure's sword reappeared before Kakashi's eyes, its sharp blade rapidly hurtling towards his face.

hide!

It's too late!

The moment Shigure set off, Kakashi had already begun forming hand seals.

When the blade cut through the air.

Kakashi also completed the hand seals.

"Escape~Earth flow wall!"

Instantly, an earthen wall rose up in front of Kakashi.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

A deafening roar erupted instantly as Shigure slashed at the earthen wall with his sword. The earthen wall, infused with chakra, was no joke in terms of its hardness.

Even Shigure's slash couldn't completely cleave it, and besides, this sword move wasn't about power, but about speed.

0.1 Swish!

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from behind the earthen wall on the right. Kakashi had actually taken the initiative to attack.

Shigure swung his sword towards Kakashi, his strike swift and powerful, accompanied by a faint flow of water.

Kakashi was hit before he could dodge.

And the next second.

boom!

Kakashi exploded into a cloud of white smoke.

'Shadow clones?'

Suddenly, a series of crackling and thunderous sounds rang out behind Shigure.

Shi Yu suddenly turned around.

Kakashi, who had already pulled up his headband behind him, revealed his Sharingan and stared intently at Shigure.

"Shigure!"

"You're an amazing brat! I never expected you to push me to this point so far, especially since we just started our studies!"

"And you're only using swordsmanship, but your swordsmanship can no longer be defined solely by swordsmanship!"

Strictly speaking, it should be classified as a type of ninjutsu!

Kakashi spoke, but a smile appeared on his face beneath the mask.

Kakashi was very happy to have such an outstanding ninja as Shigure among his juniors.

But as happy as he was, it would be too embarrassing for Kakashi Hatake to be defeated by a kid.

Therefore! We cannot lose.

"But a ninja's battles cannot go far if they rely solely on taijutsu!"

"This technique of mine is the most powerful ninjutsu I have ever used; it has even severed lightning before..."

At that moment, Shigure interrupted Kakashi, shouting, "Lightning Blade!"

I didn't expect Shigure to even know about Raikiri. That makes things easier. "Confident? Can you block my Raikiri?"

Shigure held the sword finger with her left hand and gently stroked the blade of Zangetsu.

"Who knows! You'll only know if you try!"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi chuckled softly. Daring to try meant that Shigure must have even more powerful moves up his sleeve!

"Then let's give it a try!"

Kakashi was really looking forward to seeing what other amazing swordsmanship Shigure would have up his sleeve!

Shigure, who was holding a sword in one hand and whose chakra began to surge, suddenly unleashed his power.

An astonishing amount of chakra was passively unleashed.

"This is the final move of the Breathing Technique!"

"The Pick-Up Type!!!"

Suddenly, Shigure's body began to spin, and a dragon seemed to emerge where the blade had passed.

The sound of the flowing water grows stronger with each rotation of the stream as the raindrops fall.

From a small stream, it transforms into a rushing river.

Boom boom boom! !

In the blink of an eye, the roaring sound of the Moon Slash had already begun to rumble loudly.

Kakashi originally wanted to wait for Shigure to unleash his full power, but now it seems that the more times Shigure spins, the stronger the attack will be.

We can't wait any longer. If we continue to wait, we'll inevitably be the ones who lose.

"Shigure! I'm here!"

Kakashi charged straight at him with his Lightning Blade.

At that moment, Shigure also suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed across the Zangetsu Blade he was holding in his hands.

The dragon, which had suddenly begun to rage and spin, opened its mouth as if to roar!
