Stop Humiliating the White Fang Short Blade, Kakashi

Kakashi shattered the last boulder with the Lightning Ball in his hand.

A sharp wind blade suddenly sliced toward him!

Kakashi snatched his hand back. The wind blade split the Lightning Ball apart and nearly took off four of his fingers, fingerless glove and all!

The Wind Cutter Technique?

Wind Release countered Lightning Release. Uchiha Ling had changed tactics.

Kakashi looked up at Uchiha Ling atop the Earth-Style Wall. Wind Release was not a form of Ninjutsu Stone Ninja used often.

The atmosphere shifted in an instant.

Uchiha Ling stopped imitating the Stone Ninja's Combined Ninjutsu and began treating Kakashi as a serious opponent.

As several wind blades slashed at him from different angles, Kakashi jumped back and formed Hand Seals.

"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"

Fire Release countered Wind Release. The Flame Bullet disrupted the airflow and broke through Uchiha Ling's technique.

Uchiha Ling gave Kakashi no chance to catch his breath before using Water Release.

"Water Release: Water Fang Bullet!"

Two crescent-fanged jets of swirling, pressurized water burst from beneath the Earth-Style Wall and arced through the air. One Water Fang Bullet struck the Flame Bullet; the other hurtled toward Kakashi.

Kakashi hurriedly formed Hand Seals and raised an Earth-Style Wall.

At this point, Kakashi was already carving a dog's head into his Earth-Style Wall.

The thick wall stopped the Water Fang Bullet.

Water washed over the dog's head. It looked remarkably lifelike, with some fearsome fangs.

Behind a tree trunk in the woods, Minato Namikaze shook his head when he saw Uchiha Ling form Hand Seals and use Lightning Release.

Kakashi was already quite strong. He had mastered Lightning, Earth, and Fire-Nature Chakra. If he had mastered Wind Release Chakra as well, he might have been able to counter Uchiha Ling's Lightning Release.
