In the field, the close combat between Chika and Kakashi slowly came to an end.
The speed displayed by the two was elite even among Chunins, not to mention their dazzling swordsmanship.
But in the end, Chika was more skilled. He moved close to Kakashi like the wind, with magatama flowing in his eyes. He quickly noticed Kakashi's weakness. Seizing the opportunity, he held the knife in both hands and slashed at Kakashi's waist.
Kakashi didn't expect him to be so fast, so he could only defend himself hastily, subconsciously blocking with the short knife in front of his chest.
Clang!
After a crisp metallic sound, Kakashi fumbled to block Chika's attack, but he didn't expect his sword to be so powerful. The pain in his right hand made him lose control of the short sword.
Kakashi did not panic even though he lost his weapon. He retreated while taking out a few shurikens from his ninja tool bag and throwing them at Chika to buy himself some time.
At the same time, he quickly formed seals with his hands, as if he wanted to decide the outcome through ninjutsu.
Faced with the flying shuriken, Chika had no intention of dodging. He chose the right moment and slashed the samurai sword in the air, accurately chopping off all the shurikens to the ground.
"Kakashi, you're quick enough to make a hand seal!"
Then he also noticed that Kakashi was forming hand seals and releasing ninjutsu, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.
The speed of his hand seal formation is worthy of Kakashi, who has been single for six years.
Could it be the effect of the book I gave as a gift?
"But ninjutsu requires more than just speed!"
Chika put his hands together, gathered the chakra in his body, and shouted softly: "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
In an instant, a ball of flame burst out of Chika's mouth, forming a fireball and attacking Kakashi.
Kakashi, who was performing hand seals: "?"
Minato and Shisui watching: "."
[Negative emotions from Hatake Kakashi, emotion value +50!]
[Negative emotions from Uchiha Shisui, emotion value +10!]
[Negative emotions from Namikaze Minato, emotion value +10!]
Did you hear what is being said?
They thought Chika said this to compete in the power of ninjutsu, but they didn't expect him to use the simplified seal fire escape in return.
Kakashi looked at the huge fireball coming at him in confusion. The scorching heat even burnt a lot of his white hair.
with a ghost seal.
At this moment, Minato suddenly appeared in front of Kakashi. He stood between the huge fireball and Kakashi, holding a kunai in his hand and slashing at the huge fireball.
The huge fireball was split into two halves and dissipated in the air.
Chika's expression froze.
Although it is a simplified version of the Great Fireball Jutsu and its power is smaller, it is still a ninjutsu after all.
Minato-senpai, you just killed it with just a kunai. Aren't you being too disrespectful to the Uchiha clan's unique family skills?
"Alright, Chika, I now have a rough idea of your strength, so let's stop the sparring here."
Minato said something when he saw that neither of them had any intention of fighting again.
As for the result of the competition, everyone knew it well.
Kakashi knew that he had lost and lost to Chika in all aspects.
Both physical and ninjutsu were defeated one by one, not to mention illusion. With the Sharingan, Kakashi had no need to seek abuse.
But he was not discouraged. His father said that he had not yet been taught the family's ninjutsu. It was said to be called the Thousand Years of Slaughter or something like that. His father was famous in the ninja world for this!
"Minato-senpai, how did you show up?"
At this time, Chika expressed his surprise at the right time.
Minato displayed the kunai in his hand and gave a brief explanation.
"You mean this? This is the Flying Thunder God Technique! I can teleport to a place with the Flying Thunder God mark. Look at this kunai, there is a mark I left on it."
Chika pretended to listen, then showed a longing look and asked: "Minato-senpai, excuse me, can I learn?"
"I'm sorry, this is a forbidden ninjutsu with a difficulty of S, and it cannot be passed on without the permission of the Hokage."
"If you really want to obtain this Flying Thunder God Technique, you can only obtain enough military merits and go to the Hokage to exchange it in person. And you should work hard to complete more tasks!"
Minato shook his head in regret.
Minato could understand Chika's thought. In fact, anyone who had seen the Flying Thunder God Technique wanted to learn this ninjutsu.
However, the Flying Thunder God Technique is difficult to learn. For those without talent, it would be difficult for them to even understand it, let alone get started with it and applying it on the battlefield.
Secondly, if you want to learn this ninjutsu, you need to have enough military merits.
Moreover, Minato also felt that it would be very difficult for Chika to obtain the Flying Thunder God Jutsu from the village. This ninjutsu was originally developed by the Second Hokage to target the Uchiha clan, so there was no reason for the Uchiha clan to learn it.
However, considering that Chika has Kushina's protection, Minato did not speak definitively.
Minato knew his girlfriend very well. If Kushina was really pushed into a corner, it would have been possible for her to steal the Book of Sealing.
"Ah, it's already noon. Shisui, catch some fish for the two senpai's. We'll have grilled fish for lunch today."
Considering that this is the territory of the Uchiha clan, Minato and Kakashi are guests, Chika should at least show some respect as a host, so he gave instructions to Shisui.
As for why we don't treat them to a meal at a restaurant, it's of course because the fish in this river are fresh and pollution-free.
Minato and Kakashi were not picky people and did not care about Chika's money-grubbing nature.
Seeing Shisui going to catch fish, they helped Chika light a fire.
After a while, Shisui came back with seven or eight small fish weighing more than one kilogram.
Skillfully remove the internal organs of the fish and insert a wooden stick.
Everyone sat around the fire.
While waiting for the fish to be cooked, they chatted with each other and the time passed quickly.
As the aroma of grilled fish spread, everyone started to eat.
"Crow Feather, here you go!"
After carefully grilling the fish, Shisui looked at Crow Feather on Chika's shoulder and handed a fish over.
Crow feather first looked at Shisui twice, then he picked up the grilled fish, and then, under Shisui's expectant gaze, he turned around and put the grilled fish to Chika's mouth.
Chika smiled and shook his head, and the crow then ate with relish.
Shisui: "." It was a wrong choice after all.
[Negative emotions from Uchiha Shisui, emotion value +50!]
Kakashi saw this and said, "Chika, your crow is just an ordinary crow, right?"
"Yes." He nodded and asked doubtfully, "What's the problem?"
"You should know the Inuzuka clan. I bought my ninja dog from them."
Of course, Chika knew the Inuzuka clan, who were professional dog breeders. They did not get along well with the Uchiha clan. After all, one liked cats and the other liked dogs. It was already giving their due respect to Konoha that they didn't fight before they even met.
