Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 117 Victory

"Yanjiu~ It seems you won't be able to avenge yourself anytime soon!"

He glanced at Shimura Tsubame beside him, whose face had become even more grim after hearing these words.

Sarutobi Shinmura, undeterred by his companion's ashen face, continued, "With your current strength, you won't have a single chance to avenge yourself against Uchiha Toshiro without years of rigorous training!"

"unless……"

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and gestured for the other person to come closer, explaining that he had something very confidential to say that he didn't want more people to know in public.

"Unless what?"

Narrowing his eyes, Shimura Tsubame glanced at the mysterious Sarutobi Shinmura, but he couldn't resist his curiosity and moved closer. He wanted to see what kind of underhanded tricks the other party could come up with!

Seeing that the other party had indeed come closer as he had said, Sarutobi Shinmura was overjoyed.

You, who usually have a stern and domineering demeanor, are now completely under my control.

Within the small group in Sarutobi New Village, Shimura Tsubaki, relying on his strength, has always been somewhat disobedient.

Even after being taught a lesson by Uchiha Toshiro last time, he was never truly convinced of his mistake and had been thinking all these years about how to get revenge and regain his pride.

However, things didn't go as planned. When he faced Uchiha Toshiro again, he not only failed to win the battle, but was defeated by him once again.

This was the perfect time for him to win over people's hearts. Although Sarutobi Shinmura was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he was quite ambitious and had built up his own little circle over the years.

This is the perfect opportunity; it's the perfect time to take care of this guy who doesn't really listen to him. You see, this guy has quite a few underlings behind him.

As for how to deal with Uchiha Toshiro, that's none of his business. He just needs to keep the guy in check for now, and who knows what will happen next...

What if the other party realizes they've been scammed?

What do you mean by lying? I was just giving the other person advice. It's his own fault for being so incompetent. What does that have to do with him?

At this moment, Toshiro, who was in the arena, was unaware that such a drama was unfolding in the stands.

Otherwise, they would definitely be laughing their heads off. These guys are really being too naive! I wonder what they'll think of their actions when the Third Shinobi World War ends...

Having locked onto his opponent, Toshiro slowly raised his katana, the tip pointing directly at Kakashi opposite him.

As the chakra within his body continued to boil, a faint red light slowly appeared on the blade.

As Toshiro gained further control over his chakra, the red light transformed into a blazing flame.

Bright flames and intense heat filled the air around Toshiro, and even Kakashi opposite him could feel it.

This is a relatively high-level application of chakra in the Uchiha-style swordsmanship. Through the nature transformation of fire-style chakra, the slashes are imbued with the high temperature of flames, radiation, and, most importantly, explosive properties.

It's a perfect combination of chakra and swordsmanship!

This sword technique is not only applicable to fire-style chakra nature transformations, but can also be used against wind, lightning, earth, water, and other attributes.

It's just that members of the family generally use the three attributes of fire, wind, and thunder more often.

Seeing that their opponent had begun to gather strength, Kakashi's side was not to be outdone.

As he slowly channeled his chakra into the White Fang short sword in his hand, wisps of electricity began to surge wildly through the air along the blade.

This is the Lightning Release technique his father taught him, a method of application in actual combat that can almost infinitely enhance the power of his thrusting attack.

In the past, although he had practiced a lot, he had never used it in actual combat. Today was a perfect opportunity for him to unleash his full potential without any reservations.

"Hatake Style: Fang"

"Uchiha Style: Sword Leap Flame"

As the two finished charging up, orange-red, scorching heat, and bluish-white hues, accompanied by occasional crackling sounds of electricity, filled the weapons in their hands.

As Kakashi unleashed his White Fang short sword, imbued with almost all of his chakra, the pale blue and orange-red light on the battlefield stung the pupils of all the genin present.

What followed was a huge explosion, and then slowly rising smoke and dust.

"That's way too much!"

Looking at the two players battling it out on the field, the ground was shattered and fragments of stone kept falling.

The young ninjas watching the battle were all dumbfounded...

It's just a swordsmanship contest, there's no need to make it so exaggerated. Even a typical ninjutsu exchange wouldn't be this bad...

Just then, a figure emerged from the scattered dust, revealing its true form.

It was Kakashi Hatake.

Did Kakashi win?

Before those who watched the battle could voice their questions, the question remained unanswered.

Using the roll to dissipate the force, Kakashi forced himself into a defensive stance, half-kneeling, before he could come to a complete stop.

Before he could even prepare himself, a gleaming katana was already pressed against his neck.

"The difference in our physical abilities resulted in an objective difference in the recovery time we needed after dealing with an impact!"

"And this became the key to victory or defeat!"

After saying all this, Toshiro did not continue to make things difficult for the other party, but readily put away his tachi and sheathed it.

He then extended his hand to Kakashi.

Kakashi was clearly stunned when he saw this, and then he followed Toshiro's example and put the White Fang in his hand into the scabbard on his back.

He grabbed Toshiro and used the leverage to stand up.

"The victor... Uchiha Toshiro... Both sides form the reconciliation seal!"

Seeing that neither of them had suffered any major harm, Minato Namikaze breathed a huge sigh of relief.

This is the best possible outcome!

Just now, if he hadn't been the referee constantly reminding himself, he was afraid he might have lost control and ended the assessment prematurely.

Fortunately, what I was worried about didn't happen.

Kakashi looked pale and unsteady on his feet, but he was just exhausted. He would be fine after a good night's rest.

On the other hand, Uchiha Toshiro, on the surface, seemed to still have energy to spare.

He was even able to pull Kakashi up, so there shouldn't be any problems.
