Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 115 Swordsmanship

At this moment, there were four or five high-ranking members of Konoha in the stands.

However, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was not among them.

At this moment, he was attending a high-level meeting in the village to discuss how to deal with the impending Ninja World War.

Just a few days ago, Danzo sent him some shocking news.

The Third Kazekage of Sunagakure, who is known as the strongest Kazekage in history, seems to have encountered some problem and has not appeared for a long time.

Meanwhile, very bad news came from the border between the Land of Rivers and the Land of Wind. Shinobi from the Hidden Sand Village were frequently crossing the border to conduct espionage activities towards the Hidden Leaf Village.

This left Konoha no choice but to deal with it carefully!

One wrong move could have far-reaching consequences, potentially destroying the hard-won peace we have achieved.

That's why the Chunin Exams were entrusted entirely to Jiraiya.

He himself is stationed at the Hokage Building, fully engaged in dealing with this unexpected situation.

At this moment, Kakashi looked at Uchiha Toshiro opposite him. Then he looked at his own right hand, which was gripping White Fang's hand, and his expression became more solemn than ever before.

His right hand was trembling slightly, uncontrollably. The reason was the opponent's incredibly fast and powerful slash.

Just now, in order to avoid the aftershocks of the explosive tags, I was temporarily put on the defensive. And the opponent took advantage of my opening to launch an attack.

They caught themselves completely off guard!

In the rush, he could only draw the white fang dagger from his back and fight the opponent head-on.

One side had been planning this for a long time, while the other was caught off guard. Coupled with the age difference and the resulting physical disparity between the two sides, the outcome was already decided from the start.

Fortunately, for some reason, the opponent did not press their advantage, giving him time to catch his breath.

Otherwise, if the opponent keeps pressing, it will be difficult to turn the tide and fall into the opponent's offensive rhythm.

In that case, the outcome of this battle can almost be predicted in advance.

At this moment, the reason why Toshiro, who was facing him, did not press his advantage was partly because Kakashi was one of his favorite characters in the anime.

On the other hand, they wanted to see whether Kakashi had actually inherited Sakumo Hatake's White Fang Sword Technique.

He had long admired the renowned White Fang Sword Technique and wanted to take this opportunity to see it for himself.

For this reason, he even took out a small katana that he had hardly used during the Chunin Exams.

Considering that the examiners for this Chunin Exam were Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze, a rule was specifically stipulated that the exams could not result in death or maiming.

In previous exams, he had resolved most of the battles with his bare hands.

Unfortunately, once he started using a weapon like a katana, he couldn't control the situation. If he accidentally caused any casualties, that would be a real problem!

After about ten breaths, seeing that Kakashi on the other side had basically recovered, Toshiro did not hesitate and launched another round of attacks.

This attack is unlike the previous ones, which involved ninjutsu and shuriken.

Without any fancy moves, Toshiro charged at Kakashi Hatake at top speed, ready to fight him with his ninja sword.

Kakashi, who had caught his breath, showed no sign of backing down. Almost as soon as Toshiro began to act, he launched a counterattack against him.

"Clang!"

Another clang of swords clashing rang out in the arena. This was followed by a continuous series of metallic strikes.

As the two men's weapons clashed, sparks would occasionally erupt in the air.

This made the battle between the two even more thrilling and exciting, and also made the audience in the stands hold their breath once again.

It wasn't that they were forgetful; it was just that the two of them were so incredibly skilled in their attack that they found themselves completely engrossed without even realizing it.

At this moment, the two on the field were displaying exquisite and elegant swordsmanship, yet also concealing deadly intent. Each time, they were able to strike first after the opponent's move, launching wave after wave of deadly attacks by exploiting the weaknesses in the opponent's techniques, forcing the opponent to be doubly cautious with each attack.

This is also the secret of the Uchiha clan's swordsmanship. Because of the Sharingan's abnormal dynamic vision, the Uchiha clan members have almost demanding requirements for the details of their moves.

At the same time, due to the characteristics of the Sharingan, it is very easy to find the flaws in the opponent's moves. Therefore, the sword technique that was developed combines elegance, beauty and lethality.

Often, it's no longer just ordinary swordsmanship; it's more like showing off. If it weren't for some of its underlying principles being so perfectly aligned with the Sharingan, he would have considered abandoning this swordsmanship altogether.

If you're going to fight, just fight. Why make it so fancy?

This also made Toshiro complain a lot!

Unlike Toshiro's Uchiha-style swordsmanship, Kakashi's techniques using the White Fang short sword represent the other extreme.

Kakashi's White Fang swordsmanship was far less aesthetically pleasing than Toshiro's; every move and stance appeared simple and unadorned.

The goal is to achieve the shortest attack distance, the most unexpected attack position, and unparalleled precision and speed.

The core of the swordsmanship summarized by Hatake Sakumo can be described in three words: fast, accurate, and ruthless.

By abandoning all unnecessary actions, it launches the most lethal attack at the fastest speed, the most precise angle, and the most unexpected position.

The back-and-forth attacks and defenses between the two were so intense that not only the genin in the stands, but even Minato Namikaze, who was right next to them, was extremely nervous.

He wasn't amazed by their swordsmanship; rather, as the referee, he was simply nervous seeing such intense close combat.

The two were exchanging blows so intensely that Kakashi would often be on the offensive one moment, only to be caught off guard by Toshiro the next, who would then pin him down.

The distance between them was far too close, and at that distance, he had no confidence that he could save them both 100% in the event of an accident.

One wrong move and it could result in serious injury. Death or disability wouldn't be surprising.

These two are the village's future hope, let alone those who are seriously injured or disabled.

Even if it's a minor injury, any long-term effects would still be a loss for the village.
