"Shisui and Kakashi, how are your preparations going?" Mu Yue asked.
"I'm always ready to fight," Shisui replied quickly, a small smile on his face.
"It's okay, we can start fighting." Kakashi nodded calmly. With timely treatment and sufficient rest time, he has fully recovered now.
"That's no problem." Mu Yue said with a smile, and asked Shisui and Kakashi to walk to the battlefield and prepare to start the battle.
Looking at Kakashi's indifferent expression, Mu Yue mourned for Kakashi in her heart for a moment.
Since Shisui had defeated Obito under Kakashi's observation, Kakashi had a general understanding of Shisui's strength and methods.
But this is not actually a good thing for Kakashi. Instead, it will make Kakashi misjudge Shisui's strength.
Because Shisui never likes to kill with one move, he will use as much strength as possible to defeat his opponent. If Shisui used the Sharingan, Obito would have been controlled by Shisui's illusion and lost his way, but Shisui did not use it until the end.
In addition, Shisui's age is very misleading. Kakashi would never have expected that Shisui, who is two years younger than them, is strong enough to hold back in the battle with Obito.
Of course, even if Kakashi did not underestimate Shisui's strength, Kakashi would most likely not be able to beat Shisui. Under normal circumstances, the overall strength of Shisui and Kakashi is similar, but the situation is different when Shisui uses the Sharingan.
According to Konoha's custom of sparring, the two of them made opposing seals against each other.
"If we are the same age, I am indeed not as good as him." Kakashi thought to himself as he looked at Shisui who had a serious face.
Although there is no way to go back two years to fight Shisui, Obito's current strength has surpassed his when he was six years old, and Shisui defeated the current Obito. From an indirect comparison, Shisui is indeed, as Obito said before, more talented than him.
However, Kakashi was still confident about this battle. He felt that Obito's loss was not due to his strength, but because his combat level was too poor. Although he had practiced less in the past two years, he had completed many missions and he had rich combat experience.
"The battle begins!" After the two men got into position, Mu Yue announced the start of the battle.
Kakashi immediately drew out the White Fang short blade behind him and slashed at Shisui.
Clang!
Shisui used breathing techniques to strengthen his physical abilities and quickly took out the short blade Mu Yue gave him, blocking the White Fang short blade that Kakashi was swinging at him.
Kakashi's expression remained unchanged, but his hands moved extremely quickly, and the sharp blade kept slashing at Shisui's vital points.
Kakashi's extremely fast swordsmanship made Shisui feel a lot of pressure, and there were several scratches on his clothes.
Shisui knew that Kakashi's close combat swordsmanship was powerful, so he immediately used the body-flickering technique to create distance and then quickly formed hand seals.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
Shisui opened his mouth and spit out a large amount of flames, which eventually formed a three-meter-large fireball and flew towards Kakashi at a rapid speed.
Faced with the fireball burning with fierce flames, Kakashi did not choose to resist it head-on, but threw a smoke bomb and then dodged.
The moment Kakashi threw the smoke bomb, he immediately threw a large number of shurikens towards the edge of the smoke.
Boom! !
The fireball sank into the smoke and hit the ground, causing an explosion. At the same time, all the shurikens that rapidly pierced the air rushed into the edge of the smoke.
There was no sound of metal colliding, and when the smoke cleared, only some charred earth and shurikens were left, but no sign of Kakashi.
Shisui showed a thoughtful expression, jumped onto a tree, hid on the tree and used Shadow Clone, then observed the movement in the north direction from the tree. Just now, he swung the shuriken towards the south.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Sure enough, Kakashi suddenly appeared behind the big tree where he was observing and threw out a large number of shurikens.
Shisui also swung out his shuriken to knock down the attacking shuriken, and at the same time, through the collision of the shurikens, several shurikens stabbed towards Kakashi at a very strange angle.
Ding ding!
Kakashi dodged some shurikens while knocking others away, but just as he managed to neutralize them, Shisui was already stabbing at him with a kunai in hand.
"Senior Kakashi, the battle is over." Shisui said.
"The battle is indeed over, but I am the winner." Kakashi rushed out from the tree next to him, holding a kunai and pointing it at Shisui's vital points and said.
"You should be more careful about enemies who have disappeared." Kakashi reminded calmly.
"Senior Kakashi, what you said makes sense."
Just when Kakashi thought he had won, Shisui walked out from behind the tree, used the instant body jutsu to immediately come to Kakashi's side, and used a kunai to hold Kakashi back and said.
"It seems that I win after all." Shisui smiled faintly.
"You are indeed very cautious. As a student you are already an excellent student, but you need to be more careful." Kakashi, who was blocked by a kunai, said calmly.
The next moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the ground where Shisui was standing and pulled Shisui into the ground, leaving only his head above.
"If you had been more careful, you might have had a chance of winning, but this time I won." Kakashi appeared next to Shisui and announced his victory.
Obito, who was watching the battle, was already confused by the ever-changing situation and couldn't help but complain:
"Kakashi is really cunning. The two shadow clones are baits."
Might Guy scratched his head, feeling that instead of all that fancy talk it would be better to just give a full-strength kick.
Just when Kakashi thought he had won, something strange happened. Shadow clone Shisui suddenly counterattacked and died together with Kakashi's two shadow clones.
A shuriken on the ground suddenly turned into Shisui, who quickly opened his Sharingan and said:
"Senior Kakashi, you are right. Ninjas should indeed be cautious."
Kakashi subconsciously looked at Shisui and saw Shisui's bloodshot eyes directly.
"Sharingan!" Kakashi's heart was shocked. He didn't expect to see the Uchiha Sharingan, which was famous in the ninja world, on Shisui, a first-year student in the ninja school.
The next moment, Kakashi suddenly found himself restrained by a huge tree that had grown out of nowhere and unable to move.
Kakashi knew the ninjutsu that could control the growth of plants. It was very famous in Konoha and the ninja world. It was the Wood Release used by the Ninja God Senju Hashirama.
But as an Uchiha, Shisui naturally couldn't use Wood Release. Kakashi quickly guessed that he was caught in an illusion. He wanted to break it, but Shisui's series of attacks were too fast. Kakashi soon felt the sharp short blade close to his body.
The illusion ended, and Kakashi saw Shisui who had appeared beside him.
"Thank you, Kakashi-senpai." Shisui smiled calmly.
It was within his expectation that he could beat Kakashi. Although he always heard the teachers at the Ninja School comparing him to Kakashi and saying that he was the second Kakashi, Shisui did not think that he would lose to Kakashi because he was Mu Yue's first disciple.
When Kakashi first used the smoke bomb, Shisui directly opened his Sharingan to capture Kakashi's position, and the subsequent series of attacks were all deliberate baits by Shisui.
At the end of the first wave of confrontation, his victory was already determined.
"There's no question of giving in or not giving in. You won by relying on your hard power." Kakashi said with a complicated expression.
Before today, he had never lost to a ninja his own age, or even to a ninja several years older than him.
Just today, he lost twice, once to Might Guy, who was the same age as him, and once to Uchiha Shisui, who was two years younger than him.
Kakashi was surprised but also felt it was reasonable to lose to Might Guy. After all, Might Guy worked so hard and was recognized by his father.
Kakashi was convinced that he lost the battle to Shisui, as the overall strength displayed by Shisui indeed surpassed his.
"Am I still considered a genius?" Kakashi asked himself.
Two years ago, Kakashi would not laugh when others called him a genius, but he would agree in his heart.
He graduated at the age of five with the highest grade in the ninja school and passed the Chunin exam at the age of six to become a Chunin. If this is not considered a genius, then what is considered a genius?
But can he still be considered a genius now? It is already a new year, and if we don't count by age, he can be considered nine years old.
How much has his strength improved at the age of nine compared to when he was six, and what kind of genius has he done?
No, his hard power has not improved much, but the accumulation of experience shows that he has been improving all the time, and he has not performed any extraordinary deeds. He is just a younger Chunin.
Maybe he could be called a genius in the past, but now he is no longer qualified to be called a genius.
Kakashi thought about when he became like this, and the picture in his mind became clearer as he kept thinking. It was a very deep night, a bloody night. Since that night, no one would respond when Kakashi called out "Come back".
"Kakashi, are you feeling unwell?" Mu Yue asked gently, looking at Kakashi's pale face.
Mu Yue's voice pulled Kakashi out of his memories. When he came back to his senses, he saw Mu Yue's warm smile. Kakashi felt relieved, then shook his head and replied,
"I'm fine. I was just thinking about something."
Mu Yue put her hand on Kakashi's shoulder and said with a smile:
"If you are tired, you can rest more. Training is important, but the body is the capital of training."
Kakashi nodded slightly, then returned to his spot where he was watching the battle to rest.
"Xiao Lin, you see, I told you that Kakashi couldn't win. Shisui can even defeat me, so it shouldn't be a piece of cake for him to defeat Kakashi."
As soon as Kakashi arrived at the viewing area, he saw Obito slandering him.
"It's true that I can't beat Shisui, but it's still easy for me to beat a blind Uchiha like you." Kakashi said bluntly.
After listening to Obito's words, Kakashi's motivation for training doubled. No matter what, at least he couldn't lose to Obito.
"Damn Kakashi, I will have something like the Sharingan sooner or later." Obito retorted when he heard Kakashi's voice.
Kakashi replied to Obito with a chuckle.
Obito immediately realized that what he just said was an admission that he was no match for Kakashi without the Sharingan, and quickly changed his words: "Even without the Sharingan, I can still defeat you."
"Then prove it to me. If you defeat Kai, you really have the ability to defeat me." Kakashi said lightly. Next was the battle between Obito and Might Guy.
"I..." Obito was speechless for a moment. With the speed and strength that Might Guy showed in the morning, Obito really felt a little guilty.
"Okay, you are all very powerful, Obito, it's time for you to prepare for battle." Nohara Rin said with a gentle smile.
