Dog-Headedness Is Instinct

Senju Tobirama's dreams are all tragedies.

That wretched Tobirama deserves only nightmares!

However, they can die a peaceful death.

Although he was a Tobirama, he was still a fellow traveler who had strived for the same dream, and he deserved it.

As for Uchiha Madara, he only wished for someone to die a terrible death!

Cheers suddenly erupted from inside the stadium.

Those were ninjas from the Sarutobi Group.

Uchiha Madara lowered his gaze slightly, looking towards the arena.

Hatake Kakashi, has appeared.

He dressed almost exactly like Hatake Sakumo back then.

He simply didn't carry a short knife on his back.

"Hmm?" Uchiha Madara an eyebrow; he noticed Hatake Kakashi's eyes...

He wasn't the only one to discover this.

For example, Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Shisui also saw it.

"Brother Shingen, Kakashi's eyes?"

"Yeah, he probably wants to challenge Itachi as the 'Son of White Fang'."

This is still plausible. The apparent reason for this battle is to decide whether to Sharingan now or wait until Kakashi dies. If it becomes a battle between Sharingan, regardless of who wins, there will be rumors that Hatake Kakashi actually coveted the power of the Sharingan.

This is very much against Hatake Kakashi's ideas and is also detrimental to the Sarutobi Group.

"However, doing this will weaken Hatake Kakashi, won't it?" Uchiha Shisui said.

The Kakashi he knew was already ingrained as the "hero of the Sharingan" rather than the "son of White Fang."

In reality, aside from the unique eye techniques of the Mangekyō Sharingan, the Sharingan's enhancement to Kakashi is no longer significant, and using the Mangekyo Sharingan would turn him into a one-hit wonder.

"No, he will become stronger," Uchiha Shingen said.

Hatake Kakashi used to rely on the Sharingan's insight to ensure the execution of the Chidori ninjutsu, but he was only 12 years old at the time, and his physical development had not yet caught up. He was inherently deficient and needed external assistance.

Now, that's no longer necessary.

Without the burden of the Sharingan, Hatake Kakashi was able to unleash his original power.

Most importantly, he won't need to change his fighting style because he lacks the Sharingan.

Hatake Sakumo was known throughout the Ninja World for his swordsmanship, particularly his Earth Release techniques, Body Flicker Technique, and exceptionally fast swordsmanship.

Hatake Kakashi, uses Earth Release and Chidori as the core of his tactics.

Chidori is essentially a fast sword, and it is also a combination of Lightning Release and Body Flicker Technique.

Hatake Kakashi down, has always been a White Fang; only lower-ranking ninjas would care how many ninjutsu he has copied.

The main purpose of this was actually to allow him to simultaneously cultivate all the chakra natures, making him a master of them all, and giving him a wider range of tactical options.

And the most criticized aspect is physical strength, or chakra reserves...

Without the burden of maintaining the Mangekyō Sharingan for over a decade, Hatake Kakashi's chakra was at least greater than that of his teacher Namikaze Minato.

"This is probably Kakashi's true strength," Uchiha Shingen concluded. "Looks like we'll have a tough fight ahead."

"Shingen that you mention it, I'm actually starting to look forward to it," Uchiha Shisui said with a smile.

A sparring match between ninjas from the same village is only truly interesting when the opponents are evenly matched.

Uchiha Shisui was genuinely worried that something bad might happen to Hatake Kakashi.

Uchiha Shisui swore that before Uchiha Shingen taught Uchiha Itachi, his adorable little brother was relatively normal in terms of skill level.

The current Uchiha Itachi has been so distorted by Uchiha Shingen that Shisui wouldn't recognize him at all.

Since Hatake Kakashi is also capable, then that's fine.

"Oh, Itachi's here too!"

Suddenly, someone shouted from the Uchiha Clan family's table.

In an instant, dozens, even hundreds, of Sharingan turned to look at the other side.

Uchiha Itachi, also dressed in military attire, appeared from another entrance.

He did bring out a short knife.

"Isn't this the kind of outfit you liked back then?" Uchiha Shisui was a little jealous. "You were always slacking off at first, why is he copying you instead of me?"

"Are you getting carried away?" Uchiha Shingen glanced at him. "Besides, what's the point of carrying this thing? I don't know what Itachi was thinking."

Hatake Kakashi never repaired his sword after it broke.

Once you have a certain amount of chakra, unless it's something like the Six Paths Tools, combat-type ninja tools are really not as useful as ninjutsu.

After creating the Sage Art: Majestic Attire, Uchiha Shingen never bought another sword.

That's a waste of money.

At this moment, Uchiha Itachi and Hatake Kakashi had moved to within an arm's length of each other.

"Kakashi- senpai, did you remove your Sharingan?" Uchiha Itachi looked at his opponent. "That was the right choice. As expected of you, senpai."

"Itachi, you'd better not underestimate me," Hatake Kakashi said. "Today, just show me your strength."

Chapter Forty-Eight: Dog Head is an Instinct

Looking at Uchiha Itachi so close at hand, Hatake Kakashi felt...

This feels good.

It's like a person who has been carrying a heavy load to their limit suddenly having their burden removed.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time.

The fact that he was able to develop the Chidori technique during the Chunin stage was not only due to his excellent understanding of ninjutsu theory and chakra, but also because of his abundant chakra reserves.

Hatake Kakashi actually had significantly more chakra than the average person from a young age.

Chidori is a ninjutsu that consumes a lot of chakra.

His left eye has returned to normal, and he can finally see people with both eyes again. It feels much better than he expected.

Maintaining a one-eyed state for many years has allowed him to fully develop his dynamic vision, and he is also very good at using his limited field of vision to avoid blind spots.

His body was incredibly rich in chakra with just a little refinement, and it all stayed safely within him instead of constantly having to support his Sharingan, which made him very comfortable.

After so many years, he can finally free up most of his chakra.

"Kakashi- senpai, please don't be so impatient." Uchiha Itachi sensed Hatake Kakashi's fighting spirit and felt that he was being underestimated.

This ignited his passion.

Before us stands a 12-year-old who became a Jonin, a record that has remained unbroken in Hidden Leaf Village's history since the formal implementation of the Konoha Ninja Ranking System.

While there are political factors involved, Hatake Kakashi's excellence is beyond question.

Political factors also apply to certain individuals.

The two stared at each other, with Uchiha Itachi not activating his Sharingan at this moment.

He needs to use his chakra wisely. The Sharingan with three Tomoe has a considerable chakra consumption. Facing an evenly matched opponent, he cannot afford to waste a single bit of chakra.

Because he had already decided that he wanted to win.

Although this might deprive his father of the opportunity to propose to Shingen Lord Hokage that Hokage be a potential Hokage candidate, but...

If I don't let Shingen- hyun lose this opportunity, Shingen- hyun will definitely make me pay.

Uchiha Itachi looked towards the stands and saw the pairs of Red Eye and Byakugan eyes, a happy smile spreading across his face.

How could these people not push Shingen to become Hokage? Well, Shingen has been playing the ostrich on this point, yet he's quite content, thinking it's effective. It's actually quite amusing.

Hatake Kakashi followed Uchiha Itachi's gaze and looked in the same direction.

Naturally, he ended up facing off against a whole bunch of Sharingan.

Looking at the audience seats that resembled a bat's nest, Hatake Kakashi's expression stiffened. Fortunately, he was wearing a mask, so others couldn't see his face directly.

Having composed himself, Hatake Kakashi's decision.

Although it was only a formality, the village did indeed arrange for referees.

And this referee...

"You two are such troublesome brats!"

As he said these words, the referee finally entered the field, immediately emitting a strong smell of alcohol.

"Wow! It's Lady Tsunade!"

"Ah! Lady Tsunade is looking at me! I'm going to die!"

The atmosphere in the stadium instantly surged.

A woman in a green long coat walked into the arena, seemingly unfazed by the noise from the audience.

After all, she has directly or indirectly supported too many people.

But if it weren't for this incident, she would be happily drinking in a pub right now.

Then go to the casino and have a gamble.

Uncle Wu Zu has already gone back, and she didn't try to stop him. The term Impure World Reincarnation world as a desecration of the dead, and this isn't just a moral criticism; it's also true in reality. This isn't resurrection, but Wu Zu using the dead as weapons. Uncle Wuzu's return is a good thing.

My great-uncle and second great-uncle are still alive, and I've been spending a lot of time with them lately.

With their encouragement, Tsunade's mood was somewhat different from before; however, mood is mood, and hobbies are hobbies.

It's impossible for her to stop drinking and gambling.

"You two, remember this is a friendly spar, don't cause me any trouble," she said to Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi.

"Yes, Lady Tsunade." Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi were both very respectful in front of this proper princess of Leaf Village.

"Okay, then you can begin." Tsunade said, and walked to the side.

However, she had already started keeping an eye on the two of them.

Her fear of blood didn't stop her from keeping a close eye on people.

As long as she doesn't see blood, she's still a seasoned Kage Level.

When in doubt, you might as well smash the ground; that will only separate people.

Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi exchanged another glance, then turned around and walked to a relatively polite distance.

Uchiha Itachi drew his short sword.

Hatake Kakashi was still empty-handed.

The noise in the audience gradually subsided, and the audience's attention returned to the two contestants.

Then everyone noticed that the two of them seemed to be staring at each other.

He stared at it for a long time.

It's fortunate that today's audience consisted entirely of ninjas; otherwise, if it were the audience for the Chunin Ninja Exams, someone on stage would have already started complaining.

But it would be a big mistake to think that ninjas never complain.

Sitting amidst a group of dolls, Uchiha Madara grew increasingly dissatisfied as he looked at Uchiha Itachi in the arena.

You coward! Go for it!

"Sasuke," he suddenly said, "Tell your older brother to hurry up."

"Huh?" Uchiha Sasuke, who was wondering if this was some kind of back-and-forth deduction process between experts, was interrupted. Realizing that his hot-tempered ancestor was dissatisfied with his older brother, he decided to make amends. "Grandpa Madara, there's a saying that goes, 'A good ninja can tell what the other is thinking just by looking at them.' My brothers must be doing a deduction."

"Then guess what I'm thinking right now when I see you?" Uchiha Madara Uchiha Sasuke a death stare.

Uchiha Sasuke seemed to have a hallucination that his secretly hidden "return pen" had been discovered.

Wow! How scary!
