Chapter 183: Sleight of Hand
In the training ground of the Hatake family, two black shadows kept intertwining with each other, and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard from time to time.
Shiro and Kakashi were fighting in the middle of the field, with Sakumo watching from the sidelines and pointing out their shortcomings.
After Shiro replenished his medicine at the hospital, he came to Sakumo for training. Coincidentally, Kakashi was there too, so the two started fighting, with Sakumo correcting any inappropriate areas.
Of course, it was just a simple competition of skills, otherwise Kakashi would not be Shiro's opponent. After all, the age gap was a bit big, and his current strength and speed were not as good as Shiro's.
But apart from that, there's not much difference between him and Shiro. Thanks to the foundation laid by Sakumo and his excellent talent, Kakashi's swordsmanship is already very good.
He is only one step behind Shiro who has experience, which is quite impressive.
After all, Kakashi at this time in the original work was already a Chunin, so naturally he wouldn't be too bad.
In the field, Shiro tilted his head back slightly, raised his right hand and attacked Kakashi.
Seeing this, Kakashi used his height advantage, leaned down, dodged the knife, and turned around to slash back at the short knife that Shiro had dodged!
And Shiro was not surprised, he was already very familiar with this kind of scene, and it was not the first time the two of them had fought each other.
Therefore, Shiro did not panic at all. He turned the Moye in his left hand horizontally to block Kakashi's short sword. At the same time, he exerted force on his right wrist, and Gan Jiang immediately flew out!
Seeing this, Kakashi immediately pulled back and waited for the Gan Jiang to fly back into Shiro's hand before continuing to rush forward.
He knew very well how difficult Shiro's move would be after Gan Jiang left his hand, and it was only because Shiro was not using the black and white sword that was designed to harm his ninjutsu.
Otherwise, he would definitely lose. After all, even Sakumo could only take that move head-on and couldn't break it at all, let alone him.
Seeing that he still failed, Shiro simply gave up using the Crane Wing Triple Combo and continued fighting with Kakashi.
The disadvantage of the Crane Wing triple combo without the Couple Sword is that once the opponent notices it, they can simply step back and dodge, thus interrupting Shiro's combo.
After all, it is homemade, and there is no attraction between the swords of husband and wife to make it follow.
Therefore, after using it on Kakashi several times, this trick no longer works. After all, Shiro's calculation ability is not terrifying enough to calculate all of Kakashi's actions.
Naturally, once Shiro rushed forward, he would not be able to follow up with the Crane Wing triple combo, after all, Gan Jiang was flying back to the wrong position.
Sakumo, who was watching the battle from the side, looked at the two people fighting and nodded from time to time. Obviously, he was quite satisfied with their performance.
Not to mention Kakashi, it is already amazing that he has such a level at this age.
And Shiro is also very good. He is not specialized in swordsmanship. Although his fighting style is close combat with weapons, in essence, Shiro still relies on ninjutsu.
This is why he arranged a training for Shiro to develop his ninjutsu.
However, Sakumo's realm is much higher than the other two. In his eyes, the two still have many shortcomings that need to be corrected.
At this time, Kakashi and Shiro in the field had no idea what Sakumo was thinking, and the two were fighting intensely.
For Kakashi, he has always wanted to defeat this senior brother who keeps touching his head, and to vent his anger!
Therefore, the fighting spirit is very high.
But Shiro didn't have so many thoughts. He just felt that it would be embarrassing to lose to Kakashi. Therefore, he put all his strength into fighting Kakashi wholeheartedly.
However, he proved a point with practice.
That means Erzhuzi can only say some pretentious nonsense!
It's all bullshit that a powerful ninja can know the other person's intentions the moment they fight. In Shirou's opinion, it's all because of love!
Just like now, Shiro and Kakashi are not weak. Not to mention Shiro, any senior ninja will be defeated if they get close to him.
Kakashi also has the strength of a Chunin, and is a top-notch one at that. Ordinary Chunins are no match for him.
However, they had fought so many times, but they had never felt that way before.
Therefore, that is not the quality of a ninja at all, but love!
However, despite his thoughts, Shilang's hands were moving very steadily.
At this moment, Shiro exerted force suddenly, knocked away Kakashi's short sword, used his right foot as a fulcrum, turned sideways, and kicked Kakashi with his left foot.
However, to Shiro's surprise, the moment he kicked Kakashi, a cloud of white smoke burst out from his body with a "bang"!
"Substitute? No, shadow clone!"
The reason why Shiro identified it as a shadow clone rather than a substitution technique before the white smoke dissipated was because they had an agreement not to use ninjutsu that was not directly related to swordsmanship.
The only thing directly related to swordsmanship is shadow clones, not substitute techniques.
This is not accurate. There is such a move in the Land of Iron, but that is how a katana is used. Kakashi's short sword does not have a similar move.
Therefore, substitution techniques are also within the limits, so naturally, it can only be shadow clones.
However, what surprised Shiro the most was the concealment of Kakashi's hand seals. He didn't even notice when Kakashi made the hand seals or when he changed his body.
However, he didn't have time to think about these things now, because Shiro's spinning kick at Kakashi had a large amplitude, and naturally, the gap was also obvious. Kakashi obviously would not miss this opportunity.
Sure enough, as Shiro expected, Kakashi rushed out from the left, and the short knife in his hand slashed straight at Shiro!
Without any hesitation, Shiro immediately swung the sword in his right hand to block Kakashi's short sword. Although this would make him lose his balance, there was still a chance for him to counterattack.
Rather than losing like this, you might as well give it a try!
Just as Shiro expected, he successfully blocked Kakashi's short sword, but he also lost his balance and fell horizontally in mid-air to the ground!
Kakashi naturally would not miss this good opportunity. Therefore, before he could stabilize his body that was pushed back by Shiro, he exerted force on his wrist and shot the short knife directly towards Shiro.
He knew very well that it was impossible for Shilang to fall down at this height. The moment he landed, Shilang would immediately stand up after finding the fulcrum.
Therefore, the advantage only exists at this moment when Shiro is suspended in the air!
Suddenly, the short knife thrown by Kakashi hit Shiro and a cloud of white smoke burst out!
"Oh no! Shadow clone!" Seeing this, Kakashi's heart tightened, and he immediately observed the situation around him nervously, especially the blind spot behind him!
At the same time, he reached down with his right hand, pulled out a kunai from his ninja tool bag, and held it across his chest.
Although the kunai is not as convenient as the short knife, but since he threw the knife away, it is better than having nothing.
Sakumo, who was standing by, shook his head after seeing this. Kakashi's combat experience was still a little lacking after all, although he reacted very promptly.
However, this was the reaction Shirou wanted.
Therefore, the moment Kakashi turned around to be on guard, Gan Jiang was placed across his neck!
"You lose."
