章 65: Chapter 65 Kakashi's Challenge Again

In the evening, the children who had finished school did not go home, but in groups of three and two, walked towards the back mountain together.

Kakashi's challenge is a rare event in their dull study life.

"Have you heard? Kakashi passed the graduation application during the day!"

"Wow! So he is officially a Shinobi now?"

"It's simply not important, okay? The important thing is that early graduation in the first year of enrollment has completely refreshed the Academy's record!"

"What a monster. It is estimated that no one can break this record in the future!"

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Obito and the others felt it was somewhat unreal.

The classmates who they went to school together with yesterday have already graduated today!

"Is this a genius? That guy Kakashi..." Obito's mood is rare a little low. He has to admit that being in the same class with this kind of monster is too shocking!

"Don't be too discouraged." Shūnen patted him on the shoulder and said enlighteningly, "Look at me, I've awakened my Sharingan but even after training all this time, I still can't even see Sōseki's back. Haha!"

The corners of Obito's mouth twitched weakly, 'If it's useless even if the Sharingan is awakened, then I'm even more desperate!'

Guy was very excited, "I wonder who will win this battle?"

Obito said without hesitation, "Of course it is Sōseki-senpai..."

However, this time around, there were different opinions.

"It's really hard to tell this time! Don't you know, Hatake Kakashi has already learned A-Rank Ninjutsu!"

Seeing someone next to him say this, Obito was somewhat helpless "I am his classmate, so I know this better than you. And, Kakashi told me that he actually had learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique before the last battle!"

The person next to him was taken aback for a moment, and then exclaimed, "That's amazing! Hatake-san has actually learned such a powerful Ninjutsu even before entering the Academy?"

Obito was a little dumbfounded, "I mean, even if he learned A-Rank Ninjutsu, he still lost to Sōseki-senpai!"

The person waved his hand indifferently, "That's because Hatake-san is too careless before. If he used that technique in advance, the result would definitely not be like this!"

Seeing the other party's expression of "You don't understand Kakashi at all", Obito didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

In the distance, Sōseki was already waiting quietly.

Asuma, who is next to him, asked, "Sōseki, how many seconds do you plan to end the battle this time?"

Sōseki shook his head solemnly and said, "You think too highly of me. This time, it might be a tough fight!"

Asuma showed contemptuous look upon hearing this, 'You told me the same every time we spar, and then...' Asuma doesn't want to remember it anymore!

Seeing Asuma's face is full of doubts, Sōseki had no choice but to say, "Don't you understand his beliefs? He graduated early and challenged me. He wanted to prove himself and prove that he is different from White Fang-sama! He, who fights with this belief, will not be so easily fooled by Genjutsu!"

Hearing Sōseki mentioning "White Fang", Asuma felt a little regretful, "White Fang-sama is indeed too weak, it's a pity that I used to admire him."

Soseki was noncommittal about Asuma's "weak" evaluation, but looked forward calmly, "He is here."

Unlike the previous Kakashi, this time, he carried a short sword on his back.

'A relic of the White Fang?' Sōseki knew clearly in his heart.

In the eyes of the others, the biggest change in Kakashi should be that he has become colder, like a piece of ice, giving people a feeling that strangers should not be near him.

"Sōseki-senpai, it seems I'm bothering again." Looking at Sōseki, Kakashi's dead eyes seemed to have a bit of color.

"Don't worry, fighting against a genius like you is also a kind of improvement for me!" Sōseki smiled gently as always.

Without too much talking, after forming the "Seal of Confrontation", Kakashi directly pulled out the short sword behind him.

Then, he dashes forward.

Body Flicker Technique!

The chakra gathered on Kakashi's feet makes him move at a high speed like a gust of wind, and the distance between the two quickly drew closer.

Sōseki began to form hand seal in the moment Kakashi moved, and his hands were dancing so fast that only afterimages could be seen by everyone.

Genjutsu: Mist Servant Technique!

Kakashi took a step back but then break away from the Genjutsu.

"It's a hit!" Asuma on the side was overjoyed at first, but at the next moment, he saw Kakashi moving at a high speed again.

'Sure enough!' Sōseki is not too surprised when he saw this. The current Kakashi should be the moment when he has the strongest conviction. It is not so easy to defeat such opponent with Genjutsu.

Thinking of this, Sōseki's right fist suddenly clenched.

The distance between the two is not too far, and even if there is a delay in the middle, it is enough for Kakashi, who used Body Flicker Technique, to get close.

"This is Hatake Clan's swordsmanship!" Kakashi's eyes were firm, and he violently slashed down with the short sword in both hands.

'Is the fluctuation of Lightning Release chakra similar to Shinobi's Ninjutsu swordsmanship?' Looking at the blue light flashing past Kakashi's sword, Sōseki greeted it with a fist.

Click!

An arm was thrown into the air, but at the next moment, Sōseki, whose arm was cut off, turned into a block of wood.

'Body Replacement Technique...' Kakashi looked around vigilantly, but suddenly realized that the sunlight above was partially blocked, 'No, it's Transformation Technique!'

The severed arm turned into Sōseki's appearance and he smashed down with a punch.

Kakashi didn't have time to dodge, so he hurriedly blocked it with his sword.

Ding~ Boom!

Under the violent strike from Sōseki's attack, even the sword's blade was slightly bent.

At the next moment, Kakashi flew out like a cannonball.

"Damn, my combat experience is still too little!" Kakashi noticed his own shortcomings, but he was also powerless about it. After all, experience could not be made up by pure talent.

Furthermore, he couldn't help but thinking too much.

Sōseki jumped and fell from mid-air, and Kakashi quickly ducked to the side.

Boom!

Seeing that a big hole was formed on the ground by Sōseki's punch, Kakashi couldn't calm down his closed heart, 'He can't continue using such power with his punch, right?'

'It's really hard difficult to win with simple Taijutsu!' Sōseki sighed and grabbed a handful of shuriken from his ninja bag.

Kakashi's pupils shrank slightly, as he obviously knew that Sōseki's throwing technique was also extremely powerful.

In the next moment, more than a dozen shuriken shot down from the sky like a rain of flowers.

Kakashi dodged it one after another, but before he could relax, the shuriken that fell to the ground was pulled by the Chakra Threads and flew towards him.

What shocked him even more was that Sōseki controlled the Chakra Threads with only his left hand. As for his right hand, he formed a fist, and rushed towards Kakashi when he is distracted.

"Is it possible to do this? Since senpai can do it, then..." Kakashi formed hand seals on his hands, and his left hand suddenly bursts out with an extremely dazzling lightning, and then, with his right hand, he took off the short sword in his mouth, "I can do it too!"

(A/N: During the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Minato mentioned that White Fang committed suicide five years ago, when Kakashi was 12 years old, so White Fang committed suicide when Kakashi was 7 years old. But I want to make one point here. With the participation of protagonist in the event, the situation can be changed.

For example, Danzo was humiliated and decided to spread the rumors more violently. Another example, White Fang knew that Kakashi had made an "excellent" friend like Sōseki, and understood his own values, so he felt that he could die with peace of mind. These are all possible factors, and I have also made some forshadowing for several places, which I think can be explained.

And why did I let the Butterfly Effect advance this event by two years, mainly because I am ready to skip to graduation after writing the battle. So, it is impossible to write about White Fang committing suicide two years later, and then timeskip for two years again to graduation. Some readers may say, then you don't have to write it, but the problem is that this plot happens to be a more important part of Sōseki's attack on Kakashi, and there is no way to skip it and not write it.

Therefore, all of readers who feel that this is unacceptable can abandon the book by yourself.)
