Clang!
At the critical moment, Tobitake Tonbo turned with a Kunai in hand and blocked Kakashi's Kunai.
Sparks flew from the clash of weapons.
Wind Release: Breakthrough.
Forming a seal with one hand, he sent a hurricane blasting toward Kakashi during that brief instant of contact.
"Impressive. You actually evaded my perception."
Tobitake Tonbo blew him away and laughed.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Kakashi spun through the air, quickly stabilizing himself. Facing Tobitake Tonbo, he panted heavily.
"Ever since our last battle, I've been researching how to evade your perception.
"I didn't expect that I still wouldn't defeat you this time."
He truly had not expected it. As an ANBU captain, his perfect assassination attempt had failed just like that.
"But let's use this final move to decide the victor."
Kakashi formed hand seals, and a crackling sound came from his hand.
Electric current surged from his palm.
His Sharingan slowly spun, capturing Tobitake Tonbo's every movement.
"Mm-hm, hehe. Since I was bored, I happened to develop a Lightning Release ninjutsu too.
"It hasn't been tested in real combat yet, so let's try it in this battle."
Seeing his lightning, Tobitake Tonbo grinned and formed hand seals with both hands.
Then he placed his left hand over his right, aimed his right palm at Kakashi, and rapidly circulated chakra through his body.
In the air, vast amounts of static electricity gathered around the jutsu's core in his palm, gradually taking shape.
"Lightning Cutter."
"Hiryū Gekizoku Shinten Raihō."
Screech!
Crackle!
The cry of a thousand birds,
and the beam fired from Tobitake Tonbo's palm.
From Guy's perspective, Kakashi used Lightning Cutter to slice through Tobitake Tonbo's ninjutsu.
Crackle, crackle, crackle!
Screeeech!
Lightning Cutter cut through the beam.
The conical Lightning Cutter flared outward.
They clashed.
In the end, they canceled each other out.
