Chapter 103 Reaching Elite Jonin Level Combat Power [Fifth Update, Please Subscribe]

This short sword was made by someone he had afterward. His father's original short sword had been broken during the battle of Kannabi Bridge. He deliberately broke the short sword to attract attention and buy time for Chidori to activate.

He then reforged a sword, adding chakra metal to the blade so that chakra could be channeled into it; this was the true way to use the Hatake sword technique.

A silver blade flashed across the surface.

After more than a month of rehabilitation training, Kakashi Hatake has regained his original swordsmanship. Although he hadn't practiced much for many years, he had practiced very hard back then.

The blade's edge struck Kitahara Kaede directly, but in the next instant, it passed right through Kitahara Kaede's body.

"Fake? But this sensation can't be fake." Kakashi Hatake immediately realized the difference in this Phantom Body Flicker Technique. It felt as if it had struck his body, but it definitely hadn't.

But before he could react, a dense swarm of twenty or thirty Kitahara Kaede attacked him.

Kakashi Hatake quickly swung his chakra dagger and slashed out repeatedly.

Both sides moved at extremely high speeds, almost creating afterimages.

"So fast!" Sasuke Uchiha exclaimed in shock.

In his eyes, the Sharingan with its one tomoe spun rapidly, trying to catch the movements of the two people in the arena.

However, both of them were among the best Jonin. Even though neither of them were ninjas who were proficient in taijutsu, their speed was already extremely fast due to their inherent strength.

During the Chunin Exams, the speed that Rock Lee needed to achieve by opening four gates was just normal speed for the two of them, not even a trump card.

However, he gradually noticed something was wrong. The two of them were frequently changing their moves, often switching moves halfway through an attack.

In particular, Kakashi Hatake often turns around to parry another Phantom Flicker just as he is about to strike Kitahara Kaede with a Phantom Flicker.

"What kind of clone technique is this? Body Flicker Technique?" Uchiha Sasuke couldn't tell at all, and could only barely make out some of the two people's movements.

However, after watching for a while, he realized that what the two were doing was not a contest of physical skills at all, but a contest of eye power.

Let's see who can see through the other's tricks first.

However, by this point in the fight, he had already realized that Kakashi Hatake was at a disadvantage and on the defensive. The contest between eye techniques and bloodline limits, to put it bluntly, is about who has stronger perception. Both are at the three-tomoe level, and Kakashi Hatake is completely suppressed.

This isn't a matter of one eye being inferior to two; it's simply that Kitahara Kaede's three-tomoe eye power completely suppressed Hatake Kakashi's three-tomoe eye power.

Unless he can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan called Kamui mentioned in Kitahara Kaede's diary, his eye power may not experience a rapid increase in a short period of time.

In this duel, it seems that neither side used a lot of ninjutsu, but the consumption of chakra by the Sharingan alone is enormous. Kakashi Hatake has started to sweat on his forehead by now, and his stamina and chakra are obviously decreasing.

Meanwhile, Kitahara Kaede, who was opposite him, remained completely at ease.

Seeing this, Sasuke Uchiha thought to himself, "As expected of the Uchiha clan, Kakashi is an elite Jonin, and even has a Sharingan, but he is just a commoner. How can he compare to the Uchiha clan?"

Sasuke Uchiha still firmly believes in the supremacy of the Uchiha clan. He is indeed no match for Kakashi Hatake now, but if Kaede Kitahara can overpower Kakashi, then it means that the Uchiha clan can overpower Kakashi.

Kakashi Hatake is a symbolic ninja of Konoha, which is of great significance, leaving much room for imagination.

Although only Uchiha Sasuke thought this way, he was still very excited.

Kitahara Kaede himself was equally excited. Hatake Kakashi's swordsmanship was undoubtedly at an extremely high level. Although it was far inferior to his father's, it was still far superior to the likes of Gekko Hayate.

In such a battle, especially one that tests one's eye power, Kitahara Kaede was giving it his all.

In terms of combat experience, if it's just a contest of this level of physical skill, the two sides are not much different.

Kakashi Hatake's extensive experience is mainly based on a series of techniques and tactics centered around the Sharingan, while his swordsmanship hasn't been used in actual combat for many years.

At the beginning, Kitahara Kaede was slightly at a disadvantage, but soon they were evenly matched. Then he completely dominated Kakashi Hatake, and later he even let Kakashi Hatake fight freely. In this process, he completely copied Kakashi Hatake's swordsmanship.

Another trump card has been added.

Of course, this is only the basics of mastering the Hatake sword technique. How far he can progress depends on himself, and he has to do it secretly so that no one knows.

The Hatake sword technique, even the legendary Sannin had to avoid its edge in the hands of Hatake Sakumo, and even Orochimaru couldn't defeat it in the hands of Hatake Kakashi. There is no invincible martial art, only invincible individuals.

Kakashi Hatake felt that the person in front of him was too abnormal, and his learning speed was too fast.

Of course he knew that Kitahara Kaede had the Sharingan, and most likely he had secretly awakened it, but his progress in taijutsu was still astonishingly fast. So this is how fast people with the Sharingan learn and progress?

It's not just that you can directly copy moves when learning them; it also gives you a speed boost when it comes to gaining experience.

What others might not grasp in ten tries, a genius can master in three. But Kitahara Kaede, with his Sharingan, can grasp it in one try and even apply it to other situations. The combination of two bloodlines has unknowingly made Kitahara Kaede the kind of prodigy he used to admire the most.

With that in mind, Kakashi Hatake quickly formed hand seals.

"Chidori!"

Kakashi Hatake also conjured Chidori, but instead of launching an attack immediately, he transformed it into a sky full of lightning.

"Chidori Stream!"

Under the influence of the Chidori Stream, Kitahara Kaede's phantom teleportations vanished from their original positions.

Kitahara Kaede was a little dumbfounded. Wasn't this Chidori Ryu?

Kakashi Hatake knows the Chidori Stream?

Is this reasonable?

Kitahara Kaede had absolutely no recollection of Kakashi Hatake ever using Chidori Stream.

But as the inventor of Chidori, it seems reasonable that he would upgrade it to Raikiri, Shiden, and other techniques, and then develop Chidori Stream. ...What a load of rubbish!

It's already rare for Kakashi Hatake to use a sword, let alone unexpectedly unleash the Chidori Stream.

For Kakashi Hatake, Chidori Stream was not difficult at all. It's just that he hadn't thought about developing in that direction before. He knew too many ninjutsu, so he didn't put in much effort to master Chidori.

However, after seeing in Kitahara Kaede's diary the future development of different forms of Chidori by Uchiha Sasuke, he quickly developed the Chidori Stream, Chidori Sharp Spear, and other different forms of Chidori that he had seen before.

"But since that's the case, I'll do it too." Kitahara Kaede immediately formed hand seals and also unleashed Chidori.

Compared to Kakashi Hatake's Chidori, Kitahara Kaede's Chidori is significantly larger.

The two charged toward each other at extremely high speed.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar and a terrifying explosion, the two figures collided.

In that instant, their Chidori clashes with astonishing force.

Uchiha Sasuke felt the light of lightning was blinding. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that Kitahara Kaede's kunai had appeared at Hatake Kakashi's neck, and Hatake Kakashi's short sword was pressed against Kitahara Kaede's abdomen.

"You flatter me, Kakashi-senpai." Kitahara Kaede put away his kunai, his eyes filled with surprise.

Kakashi Hatake, as a Konoha technician, is indeed extraordinary. In the previous exchange, he was superior to Kakashi Hatake in both physical ability and chakra reserves, but Kakashi Hatake seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack and managed to take him down with him.

Kakashi Hatake sheathed his short sword, thinking to himself, "What kind of monster is this? He surpasses me in both physical attributes and chakra reserves. If it weren't for his combat experience, or rather, the fact that combat experience is a clear weakness for top-tier fighters, I would have been the one to lose today."

After awakening the bloodline of the Uchiha clan, is the growth really that amazing?

Kakashi Hatake was filled with doubt and suspicion, but Kitahara Kaede had far too many secrets about him.

"With your strength, even ordinary elite Jonin wouldn't be your match. What you lack is just some combat experience. Once you make up for that, there aren't many people in the world who can reliably defeat you," Kakashi Hatake said.

"Kakashi-senpai, you flatter me." Kitahara Kaede patted the arcs of electricity off his body and then said with a smile.

His words carried a mixture of pride and emotion.

Who would have thought that someone like him, a mere Chunin cannon fodder who thought his life was already set, would have such a day?

And this is just the beginning. As he has had the diary system for longer, his strength will inevitably grow stronger.

However, what bothered him was that the system's lottery draws didn't always yield good items.

For example, the prizes I've won in the lottery over the past month have been quite different.

One thousand explosive tags, one pound of chakra metal!

While this could be worth a considerable amount of money, it wasn't what Kitahara Kaede truly desired—something that could directly elevate his power ceiling.

"My strength is still far from sufficient." Kitahara Kaede was not flattered by Hatake Kakashi's words, because he knew very well what kind of world this was.

If elite Jonin can be considered strong, they have only just entered a certain threshold and are considered strong for a certain period of time.

In the later stages of the game, when Kage-level characters are as common as dogs and even Super Kage-level characters are not uncommon, what does this level of strength amount to?

Seeing Kitahara Kaede say this, Hatake Kakashi didn't say anything more, but simply reminded him, "You're going back to the village tomorrow, remember to pack your things."

"Understood." Kitahara Kaede nodded.
