Kangetsu gave a cold smile and thought, Iwagakure's unique Earth Style from the Five Kage Era? Well, I don't think it'll exist in the future!
With that thought, chakra appeared around his hands. Kangetsu possessed three chakra natures: wind, lightning, and fire! The blue-green glow appearing on his blade showed that he was using wind nature transformation!
Kangetsu watched as the strongest man in the Ishikura Clan charged straight at him, roaring, "Die, you Uchiha brat! Go back to hell and repent for what you did to my Ishikura Clan!"
But Kangetsu only smiled coldly, his eyes flashing with icy killing intent as he snapped, "I just crawled out of hell, and I wasn't too happy with the place!"
As he spoke, his killing intent erupted!
Then the chakra beneath Kangetsu's feet exploded like a bomb, propelling him toward the older man from the Ishikura Clan. He was already swinging the Black Blade in his hand, its blue-green edge slicing through the air toward the man's neck!
The older man gripped his heavy sword with both hands and brought it down at Kangetsu. Though the black sword was enormously heavy, his Earth Style had made it light, allowing him to swing it with great speed!
Excitement flickered in Kangetsu's eyes as he shouted, "Hell? I've spent enough time there. You can go in my place!"
His shout ended, his words faded, and silence fell. His hand was already trembling, but his heart pounded!
A streak of crimson appeared. A thin cut had opened in the web of Kangetsu's hand!
Meanwhile, blood flowed from the mouth of the older Ishikura man before him!
The black sword in the man's hands had still been cleaved in two by Kangetsu's Black Blade!
An edge formed from wind-nature chakra was far sharper than an ordinary blade!
No matter how enormous and heavy that black sword was, it had still been sliced cleanly in two by that keen edge!
But the tremendous impact had also left fine cuts in the web of Kangetsu's hand!
Holding the sword's hilt in his right hand, Kangetsu raised his left and licked the blood from the web of his hand. The Sharingan in his eyes grew even redder, and an even stronger killing intent rose within them!
Kangetsu shouted, "Old man, those Explosive Tags I hit you with earlier didn't feel too good, did they? You may be a Jonin, but now you can only muster the strength of an elite Chunin-and an injured elite Chunin at that! Heh!"
"Even if I'm going to die, even if I only have the strength of an elite Chunin now, that's enough to kill you! Die!"
With that, the older man hurled the black sword in his hands at Kangetsu, then swung his fists straight at him!
Kangetsu's scarlet Sharingan tracked the black sword's trajectory.
With a cold smirk, he put away his Black Blade, then rapidly formed Hand Seals as he watched the black sword the older man had thrown!
With a bang, Kangetsu appeared off to the side, while the black sword struck a log instead!
The Substitution Technique was an extremely practical ninjutsu. In the Warring States Period, before this technique had even appeared, it could truly be called a divine art!
