Looking back now, I realize I was being a bit too naive!
It may indeed be an advantage.
But it's definitely not as bad as I thought.
'Could I be killed in one careless move?'
Qi murmured to himself with a cold expression.
A chilling aura, a sharp, cold blade.
These are truly pearly White Fang!
Just because Kakashi became Jonin at age 12 doesn't mean Kakashi was only a Chunin at age 7 or 8. Don't forget when Hatake Sakumo died!
Having lost the guidance of his father, the White Fang, how much did Kakashi truly grow afterward? That's a big question mark!
Kakashi at this stage!
Only when all the conditions are met will he truly enter the stage of rapid growth!
"But that's what makes it interesting!"
A surge of emotion welled up within Chakra, and the chakra he mobilized caused the temperature around him to drop even further!
"Buzz!"
The ice crystal energy that followed.
In the opposite seat.
Kakashi, who had already regrouped, had a fierce glint in his eyes.
"Boom!"
With a powerful push of his right leg, unleashing Chakra, and amidst a thunderous roar, his figure flashed upwards at incredible speed! (Tianlai Novel Network)
Dagger's Edge!
The power of thunder that burst forth.
Ice Release: Ice Soul Forest!
A figure suddenly appeared, rushing into position.
Qi Fei quickly Hand Seals and let out a deep shout.
"Boom!"
More than a dozen thick, long, and sharp pillars suddenly appeared on the ground, blocking and encircling the path leading up to it.
Kakashi's expression was cold and aloof, his blade flashing wildly.
"Clang!"
Neither avoidance nor retreat.
With overwhelming force, it severed them one by one!
Broken ice crystals.
The burst of water droplets.
And there was the flashing thunder.
"Hehe!"
Qi's expression also appeared slightly ferocious.
It was the latter's pace that pulled away again.
"Smack!"
His hands moved with lightning speed.
A complex imprint was created once again in just a few seconds.
" Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
Although Qi spends most of his time researching and training his Kekkei Genkai, which is the foundation for him to become stronger and establish himself, he also allocates time for training in other areas. As for Taijutsu, it's not worth mentioning, as it's still in its early stages and unlikely to be very effective!
But Wind Release and Water Release.
It serves as the foundation for his Ice Release fusion technique.
It's impossible for Qi not to invest time in cultivation!
The former is relatively rare in Kirigakure; even the Yuki Clan finds it difficult to collect techniques and training experience related to Wind Release. But the latter is different!
Water Release are a specialty of the Mist Ninja!
It's not that I don't know how to use it, but that I didn't use it before!
Aren't you, Kakashi Hatake, very good at splitting ice with your sword!?
Let me see how you're going to cleave through this colossal wave!
A fierce look appeared on Qi's face, accompanied by surging waves of Chakra!
"Boom!"
A sweeping, overwhelming force.
In that covered area.
"!?"
Kakashi's gaze sharpened as he rapidly approached. The figure, forced to stop, flashed his short sword, and Kakashi simultaneously Hand Seals at top speed.
" Earth Release: Earth Style Wall Technique!"
As the technique was completed, he suddenly pressed down on the ground.
"Boom!"
Above the ground, a massive barrier of earth suddenly appeared.
It stands upright in the face of the rolling waves.
"Bang!"
"Splash!"
The massive, surging wave was completely blocked by the earthen barrier, and then split off, flowing to both sides.
The next second.
Kakashi bent low, drew his sword again, and charged forward in a flash.
This speed reached its absolute limit.
"Zzzzzzzzzzzzz!"
Like a thunderous roar.
In the blink of an eye.
That was Kakashi had come directly to the nearest point.
"!?"
The blade's edge points in all directions.
A domineering edge.
A chilling aura wafted towards us.
Each of them saw a different degree of coldness in their faces.
There wasn't time to Hand Seals.
"Buzz!"
Beneath the frozen ice crystals.
The Frost Blade has reappeared.
It looked like a special 'firework halo' that had adhered to it!
"Whoosh!"
He seized the opportunity to strike down with the sharp blade.
" Lightning Flash!"
Kakashi gripped his short sword tightly, a flash of lightning seeming to flicker deep within his eyes at that moment.
An arm swung upwards from the side.
Precise etiquette guidance!
A sharp, radiant light that flows and manifests in the void.
"Clang!"
It is plain and simple, without any fancy features.
It landed right in front of Qi, and at that moment, Qi seemed to feel a sense of dread.
This feeling of being completely locked up and suffocating.
"Not good!"
A mind as clear as a mirror!
This reflected, extremely dangerous, chilling glint.
Qi's pupils suddenly contracted.
This was entirely based on instinct, a head shake to evade the attack.
"Pfft!"
A blade slashing down.
It struck Qi diagonally across the shoulder.
Although it was Qi who struck first, Kakashi's blade was faster, and the spurting blood sent waves of pain through his nerves.
Ling Qi's expression changed slightly.
In pain, he twisted his body with all his might.
"Um!?"
From an angle that Kakashi could never have imagined.
"Bang!"
He kicked Kakashi hard in the abdomen with his left leg, trying to force Kakashi to retreat. However, Kakashi clearly did not intend to delay any longer, his pupils reflecting a cold and sinister light.
"Bang!"
While forcibly adopting a defensive stance to withstand Qi's attack, he took a step forward, intending to force his way towards Qi, who had lost his balance in mid-air. The short sword, once again suspended high, emitted a chilling gleam.
It's as if they want to decide the winner right here!
But Qi was clearly not going to give Kakashi that chance. If one attack failed, Qi still had a backup plan, kicking out with his left leg at the same time.
He quickly Hand Seals with one hand.
Ice Release: Ice Wall Jutsu!
The gathering of white, chilling energy.
At the moment the initiation ceremony is completed.
Between the two, a wall of ice crystals suddenly appeared, separating them completely!
However, Kakashi was clearly determined to settle the score here this time!
"Drink!"
The Chakra that erupted further didn't dodge or detour; it simply blasted straight upwards.
"Bang!"
"Snap!"
A blade in full bloom.
The ice wall was forcefully broken through!
Ice shards that have shattered.
At the moment it hit the sides.
What Kakashi saw was Keina's figure, who had just regained his composure, and hadn't even had time to create distance!
Where the blade strikes!
It's aimed straight at the vital point!
The outcome is already decided.
'Still too young!'
On the high platform, upon witnessing this scene, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shikaku Nara, Ao, and many Jonin, as well as Minato who was closest to them, all expressed similar sentiments!
