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

Seeing Kakashi charging straight at him, Shigure slashed down from above with his blade in Kakashi's direction.

"Life flows and cycles!!!"

The sound of rain rang out, and the dragon formed by the violent flow suddenly burst forth.

Kakashi also raised the lightning bolt in his hand.

"Rachel!"

The collision of the current and lightning caused a violent upheaval the next second.

The lightning flashed incessantly, and the torrents raged relentlessly.

The frenzied clashes caused a spectacular storm.

boom!

A deafening roar erupted at the edge of Konoha, and almost half of the village's inhabitants jolted to their feet.

"What's going on here?"

However, Shigure and Kakashi were located at the edge of Konoha.

As the blinding light slowly dissipated, the terrifying storm also subsided.

The Third Hokage in the Hokage's office slowly took off his pipe.

"What a...wonderful battle!"

He never expected that Shigure, who had just graduated from the Ninja Academy, would be able to fight Kakashi to this extent.

What a monster brat!

Amidst the dust and smoke, a figure emerged first!

The third generation was slightly taken aback. "Could it be...?"

Chapter 65: Assessment Ends, New Attributes Unlocked

Looking at Shigure emerging from the dust and smoke.

The Third Hokage's heart tightened. Could it be that Kakashi was the one who would ultimately lose?

Just as the Third Hokage was thinking this, Kakashi appeared.

He gently patted the dust off his body.

He had already pulled down his headband to cover his Sharingan, and stared at Shigure for a long time before finally speaking: "Such swordsmanship is truly terrifying!"

"It's actually comparable to my Raikiri!"

Kakashi said, looking at Shigure, whose breathing remained steady.

Shigure seemed completely unaffected by the intense outburst just now.

Doesn't this little brat get tired?

Shigure was fine, of course. He had two Breathing skills in his passive skill bar, and Shigure could use Breathing without any cost.

However, Shigure has now slowly put away Zangetsu, so there's no need to continue.

Even his final move failed to defeat Kakashi, a result that made Shigure realize roughly what his own strength was.

At the same time, they also understood the extent of the power of the breath.

If Kakashi hadn't given him some time, the final attack just now wouldn't have been able to match the Lightning Blade in terms of power.

The final move requires some preparation time; if there is enough time, its power could even surpass that of the Raikiri.

However, in battle, the enemy won't give you much time to prepare your attack.

At this point, someone needs to hold off the enemy for Shigure, and the clones might be able to provide some assistance to Shigure.

I only used swordsmanship just now. If I had added ninjutsu, dealing with Kakashi might not have been too difficult!

But Kakashi probably didn't really go all out either!

After all, he didn't even use Kamui. If he did use Kamui, he would definitely be able to defeat Kakashi.

"Although your swordsmanship is very strong and your combat power is amazing, you still don't meet my requirements!"

Suddenly Kakashi's voice rang out, while Shigure was still pondering his own question.

Looking up at Kakashi, she said, "Even in this state, you still want to fight again."

Seeing that Shigure seemed to have regained his fighting spirit, Kakashi quickly said, "It's not that I don't acknowledge your strength, but that you don't understand what's most important for a ninja!"

The most important thing?

Shigure was exasperated; it seemed Kakashi was about to spout off about teamwork again.

Teamwork is important, but it's not so important that it's indispensable.

But if we're going to talk about this!

Shigure smiled and looked at Kaka, then suddenly!

Kakashi was stunned, because two people suddenly appeared from behind him, one on his left and one on his right.

'Naruto and Sasuke?'

When did they…?

Kakashi paused for a moment, staring at Shigure in front of him. No wonder Shigure had put away his ninja sword.

This was to make himself complacent, thus creating an opportunity for the two to attack.

But Sasuke didn't let the decapitation technique in his heart... Just now, when he was fighting Shigure, Naruto had already rescued Sasuke?

'Is this the plan that Shigure told Naruto about?'

Swish!

The two's sneak attack failed. Although Kakashi had just fought a fierce battle with Shigure, it was easy for him to dodge Naruto and Sasuke's attacks.

Naruto and Sasuke's sneak attack failed, and they quickly jumped to Shigure's side, saying with some self-reproach, "Sorry, Shigure, we didn't succeed!"

Even Sasuke could only remain silent at this moment. Shigure made the opponent relax and created an opportunity for them to attack, but they failed to seize it.

I really feel bad for Shigure.

Shi Yu didn't care and didn't say anything.

Kakashi suddenly landed and jumped onto a wooden stake not far away.

He crouched down and looked at the three of them.

'Shigure is very strong and intelligent. Even though he possesses fighting power comparable to mine, he still knows how to use tactics to make me lower my guard!'

If Naruto and Sasuke had been a little stronger, he might not have been able to dodge their sneak attack.

'Naruto and Sasuke are no slouch either.'

Most importantly, Shiyu actually understands teamwork!

Normally, children Shiyu's age would only think about showing off and wouldn't consider their peers at all.

However, just now Shigure instructed Naruto to save Sasuke and to have the two of them hide so that they could ambush him when he was most relaxed.

It seems there's no need to continue.

"You've passed!"

Sasuke, who was about to make a move, paused for a moment and asked, "What did you say?"

Kakashi jumped down and said, "I said, you've passed!"

"Passed? We haven't defeated you yet, and we also have bells..." Naruto was also puzzled. How could we suddenly pass?

Kakashi looked at the dumbfounded Naruto and smiled: "Did I say that you have to steal the bell to be considered qualified?"

"But didn't you say our mission was to steal your bell?"

"A task is a task, and being qualified is being qualified. Is there any necessary connection between the two?"

Naruto was stunned; this confused him. These two things had no connection?

Sasuke looked up at Kakashi. "Why? Why did we pass?"

Look at yourselves!

"Now that the three of you are working together to deal with me, you should know that the power of a team is terrifying. Even if I am a Jonin, I cannot kill you all when the three of you attack together!"

"Keep fighting! I'll make mistakes too. Your victory is only a matter of time!"

..... ..... .......

Kakashi laughed as he spoke.

"Furthermore, this test demonstrated your teamwork, which was excellent!"

"Meet here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and your ninja career will officially begin!"

With that, Kakashi waved to the three of them, "Alright, goodbye! It's almost noon, let's go eat!"

After saying this, the person disappeared.
