Whoosh...
A kunai gleaming with cold light shot swiftly toward Kakashi's back. Sasuke had even deliberately shifted the angle slightly, avoiding the vital areas on Kakashi's back.
"This is the price for looking down on the Uchiha Clan!"
Seeing that the kunai was about to strike, the smile on Sasuke's lips fully spread.
But at that moment, Kakashi suddenly turned around and reached for Sasuke's hand gripping the kunai!
"You!?"
Kakashi's reaction caught Sasuke off guard!
The Three Tomoe Sharingan in his eyes had actually caught Kakashi's movement the instant he turned around, but his body could not keep up with his eyes' perception, leaving him no time to respond.
In almost an instant, Kakashi seized the arm Sasuke had thrust at him and viciously slammed him onto the ground!
Bang...
In an instant, Sasuke crashed to the ground in a sorry state, letting out a low, muffled groan.
Dazed from being slammed to the ground, Sasuke shook his head and tried to get back up immediately. Yet the moment he rose, he staggered and fell again.
Looking at Sasuke on the ground, Kakashi mused to himself, Tch, this kid isn't simple!
From their exchange just now, he had discovered that Sasuke's fundamentals were already no worse than his own at eleven. What he lacked was combat experience and a tactical system suited to himself.
When Kakashi became a Jonin at twelve, the Fourth Hokage had taught him the importance of a tactical system tailored to himself. Thus, he developed Chidori and worked out a tactical system centered on Lightning Release, greatly enhancing his lethality on the battlefield.
Sasuke's current problem was that he knew a little ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, but they could not form effective combinations with one another. He had no style of his own.
"D-Damn it!"
