Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 114 Fierce Battle

With Toshiro exerting his strength.

The four shuriken in each hand traced graceful arcs as they shot toward their target.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The continuous whooshing sounds indicated that these shuriken carried considerable force.

If you're not careful, you could suffer a huge loss!

It's important to know that the Uchiha clan, besides being renowned for their bloodline limit, fire-style ninjutsu, and genjutsu, is also famous throughout the ninja world for their shuriken-manipulation technique.

Those techniques that can attack blind spots have caused countless people with slightly lower vigilance to pay a bloody price.

However, with the appearance of two clouds of smoke, Toshiro's attack was clearly in vain.

Unexpectedly, Kakashi wasn't just a bait that rushed out; even the figure hiding behind the earth wall was a clone...

Seeing all this, Toshiro didn't seem surprised at all; clearly, none of this had any effect on him.

He had already sensed something when the opponent rushed out and used Earth Release: Earth Wave.

When the opponent used this clone technique, they were clearly prepared for the upcoming earth wave, but they still revealed some flaws.

Such an opening is something Toshiro can't hide from.

Even though he hasn't awakened the Sharingan yet, his eyesight is unmatched by ordinary ninjas.

With just a little concentration, even the slightest changes would not escape his notice.

As for why there was a clone behind that broken earthen wall, Toshiro believed it was mostly used to distract him from his attacks and attention.

That's not surprising!

Just then, a hand suddenly appeared at Toshiro's feet...

"Earth Release: Decapitation Technique of the Heart"

A hand suddenly appeared and grabbed Toshiro's foot.

It turned out to be Kakashi, who, using the earthen wall as cover, used his inner decapitation technique to take down Toshiro in one fell swoop.

Just as they were about to take the next step and drag Toshiro into the ground.

"not good……"

Before Kakashi could even exert his strength, he sensed something was wrong with the grip on his hand and quickly released his grip on Toshiro's ankle, preparing to dive underground once more.

With Kakashi's movements!

All that remained was a wooden stake!

It turns out that Toshiro had already prepared the Substitution Jutsu before Kakashi launched his attack, and was just waiting for Kakashi!

To fight against such a clever person, if you want to find their weakness, you need a good bait. How can they fall for it?

After much thought, Toshiro realized that he could only use himself as bait.

Wisps of blue smoke were slowly rising from the wooden stake used as a decoy, accompanied by:

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

The sound of the detonating tag being ignited!

Toshiro not only prepared a substitute stake in advance, but also attached an explosive tag to the stake, waiting for Kakashi to walk right into his trap.

He never thought that he could easily defeat the future Sixth Hokage by using some tricks.

You should know that this guy is known as "50/50".

Regardless of who the opponent is, whether it's Zabuza Momochi, a Jonin-level ninja, or Pain, who could carry a bag of rice up several floors, or even Madara and Kaguya in the later stages, they are all characters who can fight each other to a standstill.

Although the other party is still young, they should not be underestimated.

Otherwise, it would be quite a sight if the boat capsized!

"boom!"

With a loud explosion, a cloud of smoke billowed out and filled the area.

It blocked most people's view!

This naturally excludes Toshiro, who is closely monitoring the situation on the field.

He had already arrived at a safe location ahead of time and was now intently watching the changes taking place.

"Now... Instantaneous Slash..."

After using the Substitute Technique, he spread his legs slightly, crouched down, and stood ready, keeping a close eye on Toshiro in the arena, as if he had discovered something.

In that instant, chakra surged between his legs, unleashing his fastest speed as he executed a lightning-fast Body Flicker Technique.

He held nothing back, believing that with Minato Namikaze here, nothing unexpected would happen.

Even if it exists, it can be prevented by the other party!

"Clang!"

A metallic clang, like metal clashing against metal, emanated from within the smoke.

"..."

Then came a long silence!

Once the smoke cleared, the scene inside was revealed.

Toshiro was holding a sword in both hands, maintaining a swinging posture, his eyes fixed on his opponent.

On the other side, Kakashi Hatake also leaned forward slightly, pointing his white teeth forward, adopting a confrontational stance.

"call……"

Only then did the audience in the stands finally exhale a sigh of relief!

The battle just now was incredibly fast-paced, with each move leading to the next.

This made the audience members forget how to breathe.

Only when he saw the two men facing off again did he remember to finally let out the breath he had been holding in for so long.

"Those two guys... they're really cunning..."

As Toshiro's teammate, Homura Uchiha shared her opinion: "These two have been deceiving each other from the beginning until now."

In the very last moment, they exchanged a real, hard-fought blow.

That's really true...

It wasn't just Homura Uchiha who was present; almost all the genin watching this battle shared this feeling.

Compared to the two of them, did I really graduate from the same ninja academy as them?

They're on completely different levels!

Even Jiraiya, standing in the stands at this moment, couldn't help but sigh, these kids are all incredibly powerful, one more formidable than the next.

Think about yourself, when I was their age, I was also 'spying'...

No, I should say our source material is better than theirs. This is truly disheartening…

Indeed, before being promoted to Jonin, Jiraiya's performance could be described as that of a complete underachiever.

It was after signing a summoning contract with Mount Myōboku that he was able to surpass many of his peers thanks to Mount Myōboku's Toad Sage Technique.

Now, these two kids in the arena have left their peers far behind.

tsk...

One is from a prestigious family in Konoha, a descendant of the Uchiha clan; the other is the son of the deceased "White Fang of Konoha"...

If I had this kind of strength when I was their age, I doubt Tsunade would have ended up in someone else's arms...
