A Surprise for the Two Women
"It's Lightning Release: Shadow Clone... As expected of 'Copy Ninja' Kakashi!"
Anko couldn't help but be amazed by Kakashi's tactics.
Because she only recently acquired the Thunder Blade Fang and is currently focusing on practicing her dual-sword style, she cannot unleash its full power yet.
If the Rikuto hadn't anticipated the flaws of the Dark Release Technique...
In order to prevent someone from attacking her from behind, she was careless and had no time to dodge.
He had upgraded and improved his [Dark Release] technique, and even carved an invisible talisman on his neck.
[Dark Release] can be activated directly from behind to deal with attacks from blind spots.
We might really suffer a great loss.
"Sizzle..."
A flash of lightning.
Under the incredulous gaze of everyone.
Anko suddenly plunged her twin swords into the ground.
A dazzling burst of lightning erupted from his palm.
It was none other than Kakashi's signature technique— Lightning Blade!
"The legendary Dark Release that can absorb Chakra and Ninjutsu? It actually absorbed all the electricity from the self-destruction of the Lightning Blade and the Lightning Release: Shadow Clone, and even managed to use it for its own benefit..."
Looking at the crackling electricity in Anko's hands, one felt a chill run down their spine at the sight of the Lightning Blade.
Kakashi's lips twitched violently.
Frustrated, he dusted himself off and said, "I think you're more suited to the title of 'Copy Ninja' than I am!"
Isn't that right?
The ultimate technique he had painstakingly developed and honed, Lightning Blade, was stolen from him in the blink of an eye.
This was a significant blow to him.
We can only be thankful that they are not a true enemy.
"Hey, you're not fighting anymore?"
Upon seeing Kakashi in this posture.
Anko, who was in high spirits and preparing to launch an attack with Kakashi's Lightning Blade, was suddenly stunned.
"You've already won!"
Kakashi shrugged.
He pulled down his Forehead Protector, covering the Sharingan in his left eye.
With his hands in his pockets, he turned and walked off the court, lazily replying, "Continuing to play won't achieve anything..."
Today's gathering was originally organized by Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma, and other Konoha Ninjas of his generation to celebrate his departure from the Anbu.
As for what happened after the dinner, it was supposed to be Might Guy challenging him, as he always did.
As a result, Anko, who was becoming somewhat belligerent due to her increased strength, interfered.
In addition, Kurenai Yuhi, Might Guy, Asuma, Genma Shiranui, and others all seemed to be enjoying the spectacle and encouraging the situation.
He was practically dragged here.
The power of Anko.
He has already seen it.
Although battles between ninjas are always full of unpredictable changes.
It's not to say that Anko is guaranteed to win just because she possesses Kekkei Genkai like [Dark Release] that can absorb Ninjutsu and Chakra.
However, it must be admitted that the opponent's current strength makes them a formidable opponent.
Besides, this isn't a true life-or-death battle.
If this continues, it's unlikely to end anytime soon.
That's too much trouble.
"Kakashi..."
Looking at the other person's listless, unmotivated back.
Anko's almond-shaped eyes widened in anger, bordering on madness. "That wretched fellow!"
She removed the Lightning Blade from her hand.
He brandished the Thunder Blade Fang, ready to charge forward.
But a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of Anko.
It demonstrated an incredibly fast Body Flicker Technique.
They stopped her.
"Alright, Anko, that's enough for now..." Kurenai Yuhi smiled brightly. "Today was originally just a class reunion. If you want to challenge Kakashi, there will be plenty of opportunities!"
"Damn, this is so boring..."
Having finally found a worthy opponent, Anko, eager to fight to her heart's content, was indignant and somewhat frustrated.
"Next time I get the chance, I'm definitely going to give Kakashi, that dead-eyed guy, a good beating!"
"..."
Chapter 195 Two Surprising Women [Second Update]
"Hong, I'll cook today. Watch your sister show off her skills!"
"No thanks, I don't want to eat your burnt curry rice!"
"Hey, we're best friends for life, don't you trust me at all?"
"These are two different things..."
"Damn it, watch out for my Hidden Shadow Snake Hands..."
"Anko, stop fooling around..."
Evening.
At Kurenai Yuhi's urging.
Anko was somewhat resentful that she hadn't been able to fight to her heart's content.
I finally gave up on the idea of going to Kakashi's house, putting a few poisonous snakes in his bed, and giving him a good scare.
The two bought groceries at the market and returned to their Yuhi home, chatting and laughing.
Kurenai Yuhi was already used to her best friend Anko shamelessly staying at her house.
Moreover, if Rikuto isn't there.
She also felt that it was more lively for two people with close relationships and good conversational skills to be together.
In particular, the two are now more than just best friends.
They are also "allies" on the same side.
"Huh!?"
"Rikuto!?"
But the door had just been opened.
Then they saw Rikuto sitting on the sofa with a smile, looking at the two of them.
I was both surprised and delighted.
"Sister Kurenai, Sister Anko..."
Rikuto stood up.
Seeing the two excited women, he asked with a smile, "Haven't you missed me for over half a month?"
"It really is you, thank you, Rikuto..."
Anko excitedly pounced on her.
He hugged Rikuto tightly and clung to him.
He couldn't help but take several big bites of that pretty face.
But at least she didn't hoard the Rikuto forever.
She voluntarily gave up her seat to her best friend, Kurenai Yuhi.
"Sister Kurenai..." Rikuto looked at the increasingly beautiful and charming Kurenai Yuhi and opened his arms.
"Rikuto..."
It's definitely my little man.
Although the Kurenai Yuhi is not as exaggerated as the Anko.
But like swallows returning to their nests, she gently embraced Rikuto.
Fangxin was also overjoyed. "Why are you back?"
"There wasn't much left for me to learn from Sister Tsunade anyway..."
He gently embraced the soft body of the Kurenai Yuhi.
He inhaled that familiar, refreshing scent.
Rikuto lightly pecked at the two glistening petals and said with a smile, "Of course you can come back anytime!"
Is that so?
The Kurenai Yuhi and the Anko stand side by side.
Nestled in Rikuto's arms, she wasn't too surprised.
Because of their close interaction with the Rikuto a few days ago.
It was perfectly clear to them that even the legendary Sannin were no match for the Rikuto.
"I watched Sister Anko's battle with Kakashi..."
Rikuto spoke with a smile.
Looking at Anko, he didn't hold back his praise, "I never expected that you, Sister Anko, would actually obtain one of the Seven Swords of Kirigakure, the Thunder Blade Kiba. That sword truly suits you perfectly."
"Huh?"
"Rikuto, did you see it too?"
The two women were astonished.
Unexpectedly, Rikuto had been paying attention to the previous battle the entire time.
"Hehe, those two thunder blades are pretty good, aren't they?"
Anko was overjoyed to receive Rikuto's praise.
Holding Rikuto's arm, he squinted his eyes and said happily, "I mustered up my courage and asked the Third Hokage for that!"
"Hmph, you dare to say that... If it weren't for Rikuto, do you think the Third would have agreed?" Kurenai Yuhi rolled her eyes.
"So what? We have powerful backers now!"
The Anko didn't care at all.
Her man is someone who could easily crush the Hokage.
Can't she be allowed to bully others just this once?
Kurenai Yuhi rolled her eyes and briefly explained to Rikuto the mission that Raiga Kurosuki had been tasked with a few days ago.
"Not only did you encounter Raiga Kurosuki, but you Zabuza?" Rikuto raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
I never expected the Third Hokage to assign such a task.
