Hatake Sakumo Unleashes His Ultimate Move

Kakashi's Chakra blade pierced through Karot's body.

"This..."

Everyone was shocked to see Karot pierced through. They hadn't expected Kakashi to be aiming for Karot's life.

Are these really two brothers?

The thought simultaneously crossed their minds.

"Wrong."

Sasuke, who possessed the Sharingan, only saw Karot Chakra- formed blade, but he did not see any blood flowing out.

Kakashi had the same thought; he didn't feel the sensation of stabbing into flesh, it felt like swinging a knife in the air.

"Smack."

Kakashi felt a light tap on his right shoulder from behind.

"What's going on? How come there are two Karot?"

They saw two Karot, one in front and one behind.

As Karot, who had been stabbed, gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, they realized it wasn't a clone or Substitution Technique, which was why they looked so shocked.

Wow, that's fast!

Only Kakashi and Kakuzu, who were present, knew what had happened. Karot was too fast, too fast for anyone's eyes to react to. He teleported away, and his figure hadn't disappeared yet.

This was Karot's Instantaneous Movement. Just as Kakashi was about to stab him, Karot seized Kakashi's energy and moved behind him. He hadn't expected the sword in Kakashi 'Kakashi hand to extend, and he almost suffered a fatal accident. His image as the older brother would have been tarnished.

After being tapped on the shoulder, Kakashi instinctively sheathed his sword and thrust it backward, but Karot, as if anticipating Kakashi's move, took a step back, just out of Kakashi's attack range.

"Bang!"

Kakashi, who was attacking Karot had two attackers, one on the left and one on the right.

Seeing this, Carlo placed his right hand in front of him, extended his index finger knife, and channeled his energy into his index finger.

Kakashi's attack arrived, and with a "clang," Karot blocked Kakashi's sword technique with his index finger. No matter how dense Kakashi's swordsmanship was, Karot dealt with it very calmly, and did not fall into a disadvantageous position in the face of two opponents.

Seeing someone block such exquisite swordsmanship with just their fingers for the first time was a huge shock to Naruto and Sasuke. Kakashi's swordsmanship was undeniably powerful; a glance at the battlefield revealed its formidable strength. The deep, seemingly bottomless cracks in the ground, stretching endlessly, foreshadowed the destructive power of Kakashi's Hatake Sword Style. Anyone who came into contact with it would certainly suffer a terrible fate.

But seeing Karot block the attack with just one finger made Sasuke tremble uncontrollably. He too longed for such power. Because of their clans, Sasuke and Naruto had exceptional vision. They both knew that such strength was unique in the entire Ninja World. Their gazes towards Karot were burning with fervor. In contrast, Sakura showed fear in the face of such power. This was understandable, as she was a commoner, her starting point far lower than those two overpowered individuals. Faced with power beyond her comprehension, her choice was to dodge and avoid injury.

Karot caught Kakashi's katana between his fingers, Ninja World version of "Finger of Understanding." Kakashi tried to pull the sword out, but no matter how hard he tried, it was no use; Karot held the sword firmly in his hand.

"Click."

Karot forcefully snapped Kakashi's katana in two, a result that surprised even Kakashi.

"Just how much force was that?"

Karot wouldn't give Kakashi any time to react. He teleported forward, appearing right in front of Kakashi, and tapped Kakashi's Forehead Protector with his finger. "Bang!" Kakashi's clone was instantly destroyed by Karot.

"Hiss."

Kakashi gasped, the pain from the clone transferring to his main body, causing Kakashi to momentarily freeze; the spot hit was far too sensitive. Not everyone is like Naruto, with a Tailed Beast to bear the pressure.

This allowed Kakashi to act even faster. He didn't have much time left, and maintaining this level of Chakra was taking a heavy toll on his body.

Kakashi placed his katana in front of him, blade facing upwards, and continuously increased the amount of Chakra he channeled into the sword. As he absorbed a large amount of Chakra Blade emitted a dazzling light.

Karot knew Kakashi was about to unleash a powerful attack, and he became interested in Kakashi as well. So he stood there and waited.

"Boom, boom."

Kakashi's technique caused a change in the heavens and earth. The once clear sky began to darken, and a dark cloud drifted in, containing the boundless power of nature.

"This, this..."

Naruto was so frightened by the scene that he fell to the ground. This was completely beyond his imagination, and even Sasuke, who had been trying to look cool, was now trembling. Sakura and Tazuna were even more terrified.

"Damn, are these two brothers risking their lives? Is it really necessary to go this far?"

If it weren't for the fact that Karot genuinely cared for Kakashi, one might suspect that Karot had done something heinous that made Kakashi hate him so much.

As Kakuzu knows, whenever Karot visits a place, he buys two souvenirs, one for Hatake Sakumo and the other for Kakashi. When the two of them chat, Karot also mentions Kakashi from time to time, his concern for him evident.

The reason for their relationship is that the two brothers grew up together. Because Hatake Sakumo was frequently away on missions, only the two brothers were left at home. As the older brother, Karot began to fulfill his responsibilities, taking care of his younger brother. However, when they were four years old, the roles reversed, and Kakashi began taking care of Karot. Thus began their love-hate relationship, with Karot always gaining the upper hand, and Kakashi being bullied. Since Kakashi wasn't one to tattle, it was obvious that Karot enjoyed seeing Kakashi's expression of wanting to fight back but being unable to. Every time Kakashi improved his strength, he would challenge Karot to a sparring match.

This time, it was several years after Karot disappeared. Kakashi resented him for disappearing for so long without sending any news home, making him worry unnecessarily. He knew Karot had the Instantaneous Movement technique, which would have made returning incredibly easy, yet Karot had never used it. Also, there was the matter involving Kakashi and Shizune. Kakashi simply wanted to beat him up. This wasn't because Kakashi was petty or held a grudge for years; he simply wanted to give Karot a good beating.

"Boom."

A bolt of lightning descended from the dark clouds, striking Kakashi's katana directly. Kakashi raised the katana above his head. As if finding its target, the lightning struck again.
