Modern Uchiha Have Great Faith in Shingen

Because Uchiha Sasuke is also a technician-type Uchiha Clan, the same type as his brother Uchiha Itachi.

However, the Chakra might not be that much.

As for Uchiha Yosuke, it can only be said that he lived up to his father's reputation; he certainly has the potential to become a well-rounded, all-around player like Uchiha Madara or Uchiha Shingen, and it's quite obvious.

On the field, the battle between Uchiha Itachi and Hatake Kakashi is becoming increasingly intense.

Uchiha Itachi was a master-level rhythmic genius; his exceptional observation skills allowed him to always use the most suitable Ninjutsu at the best time.

This is exactly the same as in the original timeline. In the original timeline, Uchiha Itachi possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan and mastered multiple killing techniques. However, for various reasons, he used his killing techniques very cautiously, either only when he had no other choice, or only after confirming that the opponent did not know or could not deal with the technique.

For example, conventional techniques couldn't defeat Kakashi quickly, but after Kakashi claimed that the Sharingan could counter the Sharingan, Uchiha Itachi immediately realized that Kakashi had no idea about the Mangekyō Sharingan and ended the battle with Tsukuyomi.

After Orochimaru's Eight Branches Technique was repeatedly decapitated, his true form was revealed, and he claimed that physical attacks were ineffective against him. Uchiha Itachi thus confirmed that Orochimaru had not recognized the Totsuka Blade, and immediately attacked his true form with the Totsuka Blade to seal him.

The fight against Sasuke was a prime example.

That defeat was perfectly reasonable. If Uchiha Obito hadn't reminded him, Uchiha Sasuke himself. The only reason he would have realized it was because Obito had been Amaterasu by Uchiha Obito first.

But in this timeline, Uchiha Itachi doesn't know these things yet.

Hatake Kakashi, on the other hand, was quite well-prepared. He chose the most correct method to deal with Uchiha Itachi at this stage: using Shadow Clone that the Sharingan cannot distinguish to lure the enemy, and then launching a sustained attack centered on large-scale and mid-to-long-range Ninjutsu battles.

As time went on, the Jonin the stands began to lose control of their expressions.

Is that Kakashi?

He actually has that much Chakra!?

In the arena, the Earth Release roared and surged like a river, its sheer thickness providing unparalleled defensive capabilities. Furthermore, Hatake Kakashi's ghostly movement using Earth Release techniques drew everyone's attention.

The Hokage all nodded in agreement.

[Sakumo, your son has truly inherited your talent...]

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of that man again.

Hatake Sakumo's death was the biggest mistake of his term.

Everyone misjudged that man.

Hatake Sakumo, just like Rain Village Hanzo his youth, was a samurai disguised as a ninja!

At this moment, they all seemed to have overlooked Uchiha Itachi.

This is not their fault. Chakra fully utilized the principle that Hatake Kakashi is awesome, completely countering Uchiha Itachi was unable to use the same methods, from a tactical perspective.

For the leaders of the Sarutobi Group, their thoughts were quite simple: if they had known Hatake Kakashi would be this powerful after removing his Sharingan, would the Uchiha Clan have even bothered to bring it up?

Meanwhile, a sense of oppression spread among the Uchiha Clan's audience.

Both Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Shisui were prepared—they absolutely could not let that troublemaker cause any trouble.

Since Uchiha Madara said he would take it himself if he lost, he truly meant what he said.

A man who keeps his word will not speak carelessly.

This kind of person uses the truth to show off!

At this moment, even without looking up, Uchiha Itachi could feel the gazes of his clansmen in the stands.

That was disappointment!

He had considered the possibility of an evenly matched contest, and how he could possibly win with difficulty, but he never imagined that he would be so severely suppressed.

Hatake Kakashi is indeed a man with very few weaknesses.

But that's no excuse for his terrible performance!

This sparring match doesn't just represent him alone, nor does it concern just one Mangekyō Sharingan!

A sense of shame he had never felt before overwhelmed Uchiha Itachi.

He felt that his Will of Fire had become dim and lifeless! The Will of Fire was weeping!

How can he protect the village after being beaten like this? How can he uphold the Will of Fire?!

Driven by intense shame, Uchiha Itachi's mental strength began to swell.

Chapter 50 The contemporary Uchiha Clan is very Shingen.

The fluctuations in Uchiha Itachi's spiritual power would not be observed by anyone.

Even the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan can't see this thing.

They are not like Kaguya Otsutsuki. Kaguya Otsutsuki could see at a glance that Naruto and Sasuke had Indra and Ashura's Chakra hidden in them, and she could also see the "Yang Power" that Hagoromo Otsutsuki gave to the two of them.

If the Hyuga Clan Byakugan had that kind of Byakugan ability, the Hokage Building wouldn't have let them remain marginalized.

Such Byakugan is not just a weapon, but a national treasure.

They deserve at least some plump and round treatment.

If the Hyuga Clan members can't see it, then the Uchiha Clan members will be the same.

To be honest, no one expected Hatake Kakashi to perform like this. All other things being equal, the amount of Chakra a ninja has a significant impact on their abilities, and Hatake Kakashi is now a textbook example of this.

Therefore, people were not actually disappointed with Uchiha Itachi.

Hatake Kakashi is a prime example of a technically skilled player, but his Chakra is lacking, which forces him to be very careful when using Ninjutsu, affecting both his stamina and the effectiveness of his tactics.

Once this restriction is removed, it's quite normal for the strength to undergo a fundamental change.

No one expected the changes to be so drastic.

Because of the Hyuga Clan, everyone has now discovered that Hatake Kakashi has actually removed his Sharingan.

In other words, Kakashi now possesses the amount of Chakra he should have originally had.

Turns out this guy is a Chakra hog!

Uchiha Itachi was a very traditional Uchiha Clan, with maxed-out skills. His main problem, like Kakashi's, was that he had poor endurance.

Originally, Uchiha Itachi had better chakra endurance than Hatake Kakashi, since his Chakra consumption was controllable.

Hatake Kakashi can remove his eyes and unleash a burst of blue energy, but Uchiha Itachi can't. Whether he uses the Sharingan or not, his Chakra level is the same, and it's impossible for him not to use it, as the core of his tactics is the Sharingan.

One changed, the other didn't, so it's normal that things turned out this way.

Everyone was disappointed, but that wasn't directed at Uchiha Itachi.

"Brother Shingen, if Kakashi doesn't transplant Obito's eyes back, with his current strength, the village will have gained another Kage Level expert." Uchiha Shisui observed Hatake Kakashi's performance and praised him highly, "No wonder he's White Fang's son."

"That's right, he's the most outstanding person of this generation in the Sarutobi Clan faction," said Uchiha Shingen.

How could someone who Sixth Hokage be weak?

In addition to their excellent Chakra control, skilled ninjas are usually quick-witted, bold, and decisive.

In this generation of Konoha Ninja, skill is king, and Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi represent the highest level.

Originally, Hatake Kakashi was supposed to be like his teacher Namikaze Minato, only having one signature move, while Uchiha Itachi was the one with a wide variety of Ninjutsu.

In reality, Hatake Kakashi, while Uchiha Itachi is relatively specialized.

Most importantly, Uchiha Itachi didn't have S-rank Ninjutsu, but Hatake Kakashi did.

Uchiha Itachi didn't even have an A-rank ninjutsu. In terms of Ninjutsu reserves, he was a normal Jonin. This is because he wasn't the kind of battlefield cleaner who pursued large-scale destruction. He pursued small combos and targeted people directly.

At the A-rank and S-rank levels, the difficulty of Ninjutsu is no longer the sole criterion for judgment. Ninjutsu at this level is usually manifested as forbidden techniques and ultimate techniques.

If Ninjutsu meets either the "forbidden technique" or "super high level" criteria, it becomes an A-rank Ninjutsu. Once it becomes an A-rank Ninjutsu, it can be called an "ultimate technique," which is S-rank.

If a Ninjutsu possesses characteristics of both S-rank and A-rank Ninjutsu, it will be prioritized as an S-rank Ninjutsu. For example, Chiyo Sand Village's One's Own Life Reincarnation, which is simply a forbidden technique, would be A-rank. However, once it possesses the characteristics of an "ultimate technique," it becomes S-rank.

These types of Ninjutsu usually affect the truth of heaven and earth; the Impure World Reincarnation is also such a technique.

Chidori is also an S-rank character.

As an S-rank Ninjutsu that focuses on lethality rather than mystery, Chidori is both powerful and easy to use.

When Hatake Kakashi was ANBU, it was upgraded, and after he used this thing to cut off the lightning in nature, it got the name Lightning Cutter.

This is a Ninjutsu that can interfere with natural phenomena as long as the output is sufficient.

The current Uchiha Itachi is lacking this.

But...

In the stands, Uchiha Shingen rested his chin on one hand and even crossed his legs.

He wanted Uchiha Itachi to win, and he had reason to believe it.

Aside from a weakness in Chakra, Uchiha Itachi was all about height.

When teaching Uchiha Itachi Ninjutsu, he fully considered Uchiha Itachi's weaknesses.

He never considered Uchiha Itachi as a weakling.

This time, he didn't expect that Hatake Kakashi would gouge out his eyes and turn back into the Son of White Fang.

But it's alright.

Although he was always engrossed in collecting Ninjutsu, it was for research purposes, to understand the principles of Ninjutsu. He understood very early on that the strength and variety of Ninjutsu were not the only factors for victory.

Otherwise, the Ninjutsu that laid the foundation for the ninja era wouldn't have been the most basic Three Body Techniques.

On the field, the roaring earth dragon was suddenly cleaved in two.

Uchiha Itachi leaped out, his short sword pointing at the Chidori ahead.

"Wind Release?" Uchiha Shisui in surprise, "When did you learn that?"

"It's been over a year," Uchiha Shingen said. "If you don't master at least three of the Five Elements, how are you going to survive in the world?"

"Then it'll be just like back then," Uchiha Shisui said thoughtfully. "That's a pretty good combination."

"Of course." Uchiha Shingen looked at the arena. "Our family's best techniques are Fire Release Wind Release. Even our family heirloom fan is a Wind Release attack."

In Uchiha Shingen's view, one must learn Wind Release to be a member of the Uchiha Clan.

Although he primarily used Fire Release and Water Release techniques, that doesn't mean he didn't use Wind Release.

Aside from the use of Medium Clone, most Fire Release are high-energy-consuming, and all Water Release are high-energy-consuming, but Wind Release are mainly low-energy-consuming and have good versatility.

Combined with the Sharingan's Chakra perception, it's the king of cost-effectiveness at close to medium range.

Wind Release energy coiled around Uchiha Itachi's short sword in a perfectly coordinated manner, concentrating its power on the blade.

Any attack that covers the entire area will suffer from the problem of power dispersion, Hatake Kakashi's large-scale Earth Release is no exception.

The crimson color in Uchiha Itachi's eyes seemed to intensify even further.

Hatake Kakashi stopped his attack. He was unaware that Uchiha Itachi also possessed wind nature, something he had never seen Uchiha Itachi use before.

"Itachi, you've been hiding your strength." Hatake Kakashi looked at the sword, its flickering blue light reminding him of his father.

Back then, when White Fang used a short sword, the blade would also emit a white gleam.

The so-called White Fang Short Sword is actually quite ordinary; it's just a regular Chakra weapon. The white light comes from Hatake Sakumo's Chakra, but Hatake Kakashi doesn't know the specific reason why.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that it wasn't a manifestation of teleportation techniques.

[He saw through the weakness in the Chakra with his Sharingan; truly worthy of the Uchiha Clan.]

Hatake Kakashi thought to himself as he looked up at the audience.

It's no secret that Uchiha Itachi learned Genjutsu and Body Flicker Technique from Uchiha Shisui in his early years, and is now learning ninjutsu and Sharingan Chakra perception from Shingen Uchiha Shingen.

None of the disciples of the White Ghost in Leaf Village are simple.

Leaving aside the kids who participated in the Chunin Ninja Exams, the other two who studied under Uchiha Shingen were already shining stars in the Leaf Village Ninja Army. Uchiha Itachi was a bit older, and there was also Mitarashi Anko.

Mitarashi Anko was also in the Jonin Council. Although she wasn't as amazing as Uchiha Itachi, she was still an excellent member of the Jonin Council, and she was very skilled in Snake Ninjutsu.

Both White Ghost and White Fang have "white" in their names, but Hatake Kakashi has to admit that White Ghost's reputation far surpasses that of White Fang.

White Fang is a fearsome figure at the mission level, but he is still limited by his own strength. White Ghost, on the other hand, wreaked havoc on the entire world and is a monster who can destroy an army single-handedly.

Oh, now that assessment is about to change; it's now one person destroying a village.

Hatake Kakashi glanced at Uchiha Itachi ahead, but he didn't meet Sharingan. He hadn't even looked at Uchiha Itachi's short sword before, since the blade could reflect the Sharingan.

"Let's continue," Hatake Kakashi said in a deep voice, disappearing into Earth Release once more.

Uchiha Itachi remained silent.
