"Damn it."
Black Zetsu's face turned black.
Kakashi was charging towards them.
That's just asking for trouble.
Rumble--!
Countless Wood Release emanated from the ground.
The giant vines and tree roots blocked Kakashi's view.
Kakashi wandered among the tree roots.
It shows off its impressive skills.
Swish--!
They avoided the opponent's main attack.
"Wood Release? Who is this guy?"
Kakashi thought to himself.
Wood Release: This is a technique exclusive to Konoha.
I have no idea where this guy got it from.
I thought of the boy who emerged from Orochimaru's experiment; he was a byproduct of researching Hashirama Cells to regenerate severed limbs.
He is also someone who can use the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.
The opponent wasn't that strong.
However, Kakashi wasn't worried.
This is no longer the old era.
While Wood Release is still worth studying, it is no longer the only power worth learning.
Because everyone knows that Goenji ushered in a new era with his Fire Release, and his research philosophy on Ninjutsu was also instilled into the Ninja Alliance.
Now, the Ninja Alliance University, the Five Great Ninja Villages including Konoha, and even the entire Shinobi World have been influenced by this concept and are no longer fixated on Kekkei Genkai.
Instead, they fully develop their own talents.
Whether it's Wind Release, Fire Release, or Ice Release, or even secret techniques, there's no limit to how many methods you can use.
For example, Lord Orochimaru has made tremendous progress over the years based on this philosophy, Lord Jiraiya is no longer a match for him.
Jiraiya's research abilities were not as strong as Orochimaru's.
Sizzle--!
The Sharingan spun wildly, tracking Black Zetsu's figure and the trajectory of his Ninjutsu attack.
Lightning Release Chakra stimulates the body's cells, rapidly activating the body.
The speed increased dramatically.
Over the years, Kakashi's Lightning Release has improved, and as a well-rounded genius, he has also conducted numerous experiments related to lightning.
They even learned a great deal of knowledge developed by the alliance labs.
Swish--!
The sudden increase in speed caught Black Zetsu off guard.
The pupils contract.
Damn it, how can he be so strong? This isn't Goenji, it's just White Fang's son!
"Wood Release: Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees"
He Black Zetsu thousand years of cultivation, and although he wasn't skilled in combat, he wasn't a useless person either.
Countless tree roots rose from the ground.
Even more intense.
More dense.
If you have trypophobia, you'd be scared to death.
This was achieved by Black Zetsu stealing some of the Alliance's research findings.
This can be considered a major advancement in the last thousand years.
"Oh, so Black Zetsu can study too? What was it doing for the past thousand years? It's such a pity. If Orochimaru had been given a thousand years, or if there were geniuses like Madara Uchiha or Hashirama Senju, even if Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki were resurrected, he would still die."
Goenji was taken aback by Black Zetsu's performance.
It differs greatly from the portrayal in the original Hokage.
It's clear that Black Zetsu can be learned.
Now it seems his thousand years of experience have been wasted; perhaps some history was erased to prepare for Kaguya.
But it was just unlucky to run into him.
Otherwise, he would have some glorious feat of ambushing Madara Uchiha no matter what.
"Kakashi has improved quite a bit too; his Lightning Release has improved significantly!"
Finally, there's Kakashi's progress, which is quite significant.
Watching Kakashi use Lightning Release to gradually force out Black Zetsu's power, Goenji nodded in satisfaction.
Kakashi is a year younger than me; a genius is a genius.
Kakashi is not wasting his talent now.
As times change, people have gradually emerged from indifference and ruthlessness.
Gradually, feelings developed.
However, compared to him, there's still a gap.
Suddenly.
What was discovered at Goenji?
Looking into Kakashi's eyes, a Mangekyo Sharingan rose from them.
"Are you planning a quick and decisive victory?"
They probably also wanted to test out some new Ninjutsu.
Really.
When Kakashi's Mangekyo Sharingan power is activated.
Goenji's eyes widened in surprise.
A snake tore through the void, its mouth wide open.
Everything it passed through crumbled and collapsed.
It was swallowed by the giant snake.
Even the Asura Realm of Goenji was swallowed up.
Black Zetsu's Wood Release was naturally even more ineffective.
That's absolutely terrible.
Under the power of devouring the void, everything in its path vanished.
Includes space.
"What kind of ability is this... Obito's Sharingan..."
Black Zetsu saw Kakashi's eyes, then saw this ability, and thought of Obito 'Jiayu Mirror.
Obito's Jiayu Mirror is a power that can defend against all attacks.
This ability might just be the power of Obito's other eye.
A force that can destroy all defenses.
This is the only possible speculation about Black Zetsu.
Otherwise, he couldn't figure out how Kakashi could use such powerful Ninjutsu.
Whoosh--!
A tree root rose from beneath Black Zetsu's feet, sending him flying.
It dodged the attack high up.
He realized that the opponent's attack was only in a straight line, and that he could avoid the attack by simply avoiding the straight line.
Moreover, the opponent's abilities.
It's not fast either.
As long as you pay attention, there will be absolutely no problem.
The spatial boundary of the Asura Realm.
A hole was created by the giant void serpent gnawing at it.
Black Zetsu's eyes lit up when he saw this.
Then it rushed towards the hole.
He wanted to escape; once he left this space, he could do so using his Mayfly Technique.
They will definitely be able to escape their attack.
"You're quite clever, but Kakashi won't give you the chance!"
Goenji chuckled, dismissing the matter with disdain.
At that speed, Black Zetsu would have no chance of escaping Kakashi's tactics.
Kakashi is a genius.
In addition to the progress made in recent years.
The skills of a ninja are extremely important.
Ninjas are not known for their offensive prowess, but for their tactics.
Sometimes, Ninjutsu is incredibly powerful.
However, it is not the decisive technique.
As long as the second move can kill someone.
Sizzle--!
Lightning Release: One Thousand Years of Death!
Kakashi appeared behind Black Zetsu using some kind of Lightning Release.
The dagger crackled with lightning as it stabbed directly at the target.
"No..."
As expected, Black Zetsu was eliminated.
The lightning burned his body to ashes.
Kakashi put away his Sharingan and his short sword, then looked at Goenji.
Task completed.
"Ahhh~"
Just then, among the village's young ninjas...
Suddenly they all covered their heads and made sounds of pain.
After a while, they were all completely bewildered.
"It seems that the restrictions on their minds were lifted after they died!"
Goenji nodded. After checking and confirming that Black Zetsu was dead, he put away the Asura Realm.
Kakashi's Mangekyo Sharingan ability.
That's pretty impressive.
It could destroy the Asura Realm he had cultivated for many years.
It is a very pure linear attack.
Even he, there is no Ninjutsu that can defend against it.
All we can do is avoid it.
That's without a doubt.
Whether it's Radiant Flame Strike or other Ninjutsu, it's no match for this kind of attack.
They all have no choice but to be eliminated.
"There's a village outside the Mountain Grave. Send someone over to clean it up."
[After two days on the train, I'm completely exhausted. It's finally over! I'm never taking the train again!]
