Fighting on Stage, Too? / If You Can't Solve It, Then Use My Method!

He felt that his Sharingan more clearly.

This change, as Uchiha Shingen once told him, is one of the changes that occurs when the body's energy is amplified by Yang Release, which simultaneously amplifies the spiritual energy.

The benefits of training his physical energy were previously manifested in an increase in his Chakra limit, but it did not significantly affect his Sharingan.

This upgrade has come at just the right time.

It could fundamentally change his combat abilities.

The Sharingan's basic abilities will improve simultaneously; increased perception, dynamic detection, and Genjutsu abilities will also be enhanced.

Now, he can clearly see Hatake Kakashi's location.

However, being able to see it is one thing; his Wind Release is insufficient to cut through such a thick layer of soil.

He doesn't have enough Chakra to do that; it's too much of a waste.

"You're not the only one who hides his whereabouts, senpai," Uchiha Itachi said, completing a hand seal with one hand.

Suddenly, layers of white mist rose into the arena. The turbulent mist seemed heavy, rushing across the undulating ground like the spring tide melting snow. In the eyes of the audience, the mist rose in a spiral after covering the ground, like wisps of smoke.

Both the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan recognized this technique.

The signature Ninjutsu of Kirigakure is directly named after their village: Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique.

This Ninjutsu, combined with the Silent Killing Technique, contributed to Kirigakure's reputation for forceful assassinations in its early years, making assassination missions a very lucrative business for the Kirigakure.

Until a certain Uchiha Clan copied the entire set of techniques.

This was Kirigakure's biggest loss in the Third Shinobi World War; they leaked a core set of combat tactics, resulting not only in a loss in combat but also in a severe operational loss.

Chapter 51 Fighting on stage too?

The Hiding in Mist Technique is a very cost-effective Ninjutsu.

As an area-of-effect disruption Ninjutsu, it doesn't actually consume that much Chakra.

Furthermore, as a ninja's level increases, their ability to interfere also increases—higher-level ninjas can use more Chakra, thus carrying more Chakra within the mist.

It can also be stacked; when released in groups, if there are enough people, it can completely cover the entire battlefield.

However, this Ninjutsu can only be truly used when one has Chakra at the Chunin level. In the Mist Ninja Army, this Ninjutsu is also Chunin must master.

The Silent Killing Technique, which is used in conjunction with the Hiding in Mist Technique, is a pure Taijutsu that is taught to students at the Kirigakure Ninja Academy.

When the Mist Ninja Army conducts infiltration operations, their common Teuchi is for the Chunin to unleash the Hiding in Mist Technique, while the Genin follow up with Silent Killing Technique.

This technique was countered by the Leaf Village Southern Army, composed of the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan, during the Third Shinobi World War. The reason for the counter was quite simple— the Byakugan Jonin- level ability.

The Hiding in Mist Technique is not very effective against Byakugan of this level. Byakugan of this level can still see Chakra veins even in the mist. While the Three-Tomoe Sharingan cannot see Chakra veins, it can judge Chakra concentration. Therefore, the Hiding in Mist Technique Jonin level is not very useful against the Sharingan, as they can see it when you get close.

However, it must be acknowledged that in peacetime, it's generally Chunin, and most people don't have cheat codes like Sharingan or Byakugan. In that case, the Hiding in Mist Technique would be a powerful weapon, and it would be incredibly useful.

Uchiha Itachi Hatake Kakashi n't see through the Hiding in Mist Technique unleashed by a ninja of Itachi's caliber, even without removing his Sharingan.

Needless to say, Uchiha Shingen's Hiding in Mist Technique was so powerful that few Hyuga Clan could even see it – the Chakra was so saturated that it blinded them.

Upon seeing this familiar Ninjutsu, all the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan turned their heads and looked in unison at Uchiha Shingen's location.

No one expected that he would teach the Hidden Mist Village Murder Technique to Uchiha Itachi. If this technique were passed down as a family heirloom, it could ensure a family's long-lasting prosperity.

Even within a group, there are individuals. Everyone needs to protect each other, and each individual needs to be protected. There are truly not many teachers as generous as Uchiha Shingen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen personally trained the Legendary Sannin, but none of them possessed the Sarutobi Clan's unique Enma Summoning Technique.

"You're so generous," Uchiha Shisui said, clearly pleased.

He even taught Hiding in Mist Technique, which shows that Uchiha Shingen truly acknowledged Uchiha Itachi.

"This technique suits Itachi quite well." Uchiha Shingen didn't say much more.

He's been using Uchiha Itachi's name for so many years, he should at least teach him something practical, otherwise it won't look good for him.

Besides, although Uchiha Itachi's Will of Fire was gradually becoming more like magic, at least he could understand it from his own perspective, so Itachi could teach it with peace of mind.

He had no objection to going outside the magic area.

"Whether it's generous or not is another matter," Uchiha Shingen pointed downwards, "From now on, there's nothing left to watch."

Uchiha Shisui was taken aback, then looked down again.

Hmm, it's very foggy.

Occasionally, flashes of lightning appeared.

That's all.

"It seems... to be like this..." Uchiha Shisui.

Not only was he embarrassed, the whole audience was embarrassed.

Everyone stared at the large cloud of fog below with strange expressions.

What's the point of looking at this?

Although the sounds were still there, they were all coming from Hatake Kakashi.

Suddenly, a person jumped out of the fog and landed in front of the group of Hokage.

It's Tsunade.

However, she looked extremely annoyed.

"Who taught this? Are you crazy?" she shouted. "How am I supposed to control someone using Ninjutsu like this during a sparring match?"

A huge number of eyes immediately focused on Uchiha Shingen.

Uchiha Shingen was already very thick-skinned; he wasn't embarrassed at all.

That's true. If you can gouge out eyes, why can't I use the Hidden Mist Technique?

Are you saying that you, the magistrate, are allowed to set fires, but ordinary people like me aren't allowed to light lamps?

"Lady Tsunade, don't worry, once they've fought to the death, the fog will dissipate," he said loudly.

The expressions on the faces of the Hokage grew even stranger.

This was the first time Itachi had used the Hiding in Mist Technique and the Silent Killing Technique in public since Uchiha Shingen Uchiha Itachi.

Even those few who knew about it never imagined things would turn out this way.

It was as if they hadn't expected Hatake Kakashi to gouge out his eyes.

Tsunade realized that it was Uchiha Shingen who was replying. She moved her lips, but after thinking for a moment, she held back.

"Then there's nothing for me to do. Let that brat be the referee." Tsunade thought it made more and more sense. "I'm leaving now."

After saying that, she ran away without waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen and Namikaze Minato to say anything.

She turned away so decisively that even her two grandfathers didn't have a chance to call her back.

"Sigh..." Senju Hashirama sighed deeply, "This child..."

As he said this, he was actually looking at Uchiha Madara, who was sitting on the other side.

He knew his old friend's personality all too well.

Uchiha Madara wasn't particularly interested in watching sparring matches, because it reminded him of Izuna.

If you absolutely have to watch it, then you must watch the really exciting fight.

Otherwise, he might jump in and beat them both up.

"Hashirama, why are you looking at me like that!?" Uchiha Madara got especially angry when he saw the look in Senju Hashirama's eyes.

What do you mean? Do you think he's a bull?

Do those juniors even deserve to take his punches?

Who do you think you are?

Uchiha Madara stood up, his eyes fixed intently on Hashirama Senju Hashirama.

"If you're bored, we can have a game first."

"Madara, don't complicate things." Senju Tobirama, as Madara's number one critic, immediately chimed in, "You're no longer the head of the Uchiha Clan."

"Did I speak to you?" Uchiha Madara's gaze towards Senju Tobirama was icy.

It's chilly.

It can be used as an air conditioner.

That Tobirama dared to talk to him so casually; he must be asking for a beating.

Within minutes of starting to speak, Uchiha Madara had successfully turned the atmosphere upside down.

Everyone is now afraid that the stadium will become the final stadium.

In this tense moment when no one dared to breathe, Uchiha Shingen's voice rang out again.

"I think they'll decide a winner soon, so let's all wait and see."

Upon hearing this, the Hokage and former Leaf Village Asura all turned their gazes to Uchiha Shingen.

I watched for quite a while.

Just as Uchiha Shingen was beginning to suspect that these people were planning to gang up on him, Uchiha Madara snorted and sat down again.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Uchiha Madara, nothing will happen.

No one acted like they were bored because they couldn't see anything, for fear of provoking Uchiha Madara.

An eerie silence fell over the room.

Only the occasional flashes of blue lightning through the mist indicated that two people were fighting inside.

Chapter 52 Since you can't solve it, then use my method!

Unaware of the tense atmosphere in the stands, Hatake Kakashi was still maneuvering against Uchiha Itachi in the fog.

He had heard of the fame of the Hiding in Mist Technique and the Silent Killing Technique before, but this was the first time he had actually experienced them.

This technique reflects a very real situation.

A truly deadly finishing move is often a fake one; the real finishing move is just for show.

If a basic attack doesn't kill, it's a fake basic attack; everyone relies on basic attacks to kill.

With the combination of the Hiding in Mist Technique and the Silent Killing Technique, one often only needs a Kunai, or even Kunai at all.

This Ninjutsu was invented by Hidden Mist Village, but its most famous user was Uchiha Shingen of Hidden Leaf Village. When the fog cleared, he used the technique to clear the area.

Despite his mana bar being depleted, Hatake Kakashi still used Chidori cautiously.

He still primarily uses Earth Release.

However, the weakness of Earth Release Escape is that the user needs to come out for fresh air. This technique requires holding your breath while infiltrating, which tests one's breath-holding skills.

Every battle between the two sides took place in a series of captures between them.

To deceive the Sharingan, Hatake Kakashi only used Shadow Clone.

Uchiha Itachi's Crow Clone Technique is also quite annoying.

This battle of Clone Technique between the two sides prevented Hatake Kakashi from recklessly using Chidori, forcing him into the realm of small combos that Uchiha Itachi excelled at and that Hatake Kakashi was also familiar with.

This is what's known as "killing with a basic attack."

The Hatake Kakashi looks at Uchiha Itachi now truly reflects that saying.

Like repels like.

Hatake Kakashi, who had just sprouted from the ground, was immediately met with a Shuriken aimed at his face.

These Uchiha Clan thugs can even silence a Shuriken they throw.

Aren't you heartbroken to throw away such expensive Shuriken?

Hatake Kakashi immediately pulled out Kunai -plop-plop.

After a series of blows, Uchiha Itachi stealthily stabbed Hatake Kakashi in the back, right in the kidneys.
