Defeating Kakashi
(A/N: For YOUR INFORMATION. This fiction has been fully translated on many machine translation sites and you can read it for free. And it is indeed written by Chinese author. You should've read the synopsis)
"After chatting with Asuma, I didn't get many rewards, just a little increase in weapon proficiency..."
Kyoichi played a Kunai in his hands.
Kunai's handling is quite proficient, and even his swordsmanship seems to have improved slightly, but compared to previous rewards from Shisui, Asuma's reward is really not much.
Never mind. It's better than nothing.
He prepared to make some food by himself.
At this moment, a figure swishes into the courtyard.
"Kanda Kyoichi, Third Hokage asked me to inform you that the Jonin exam will be held in the morning in five days. Please be sure to go to the Forest of Death."
"I see, thank you!"
After Kyoichi bowed, the Anbu ninja disappeared directly.
After Anbu Ninja left, he pondered for a long time, and many recent situations flashed through his mind.
"Most of the ninjas have returned. It seems that the front line is completely fine, and the graduation exams may have to start next."
"Jonin exams are also being held at this time, it seems that Konoha is short of Jonin teachers leading the team."
During this time, most of the Konoha ninjas were fighting outside, and there were not many Genin in the village. There was a lot of missions such as catching pets and carrying water and firewood.
In addition, Genins suffered a lot of casualties, and also needed new graduates to replenish.
But, instead of recruiting directly after graduation, Genins had to form a team of four with the teacher who led the team.
Most of them are led by the Chunin, but Konoha also needs Jonin a lot - most of the Jonin lead Clan children.
This is Konoha's unspoken rule.
The Third Hokage does not know yet, but Kyoichi knows very well that after a short period of peace, Konoha will soon fight against Kirigakure and Iwagakure.
In the ten or so years since the start of the Second Ninja World War, Konoha has not had much chance to rest at all, and is now in a state of inadequacy..
No wonder in the follow-up, Kumo directly kidnapped Hyuga Hinata, and the third Hokage and the Hyuga clan chose to endure the humiliation.
However, Kyoichi understood their stance, but did not agree.
Hizashi died unjustly.
The fact that Konoha will come to that day and fall that low is related to the governance strategies of Hiruzen and Danzo.
Since the establishment of the village, the first generation has been the strongest, but that is due to the absolute strength of Senju Hashirama. In fact, the village was still prosperous under the rule of the second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.
The results of it?
As soon as Senju Tobirama died, Konoha had to fight with the other villages constantly, and it continued to decline.
Konoha can't even keep Sannin in the village.
The reason? This can't always be because of Uchiha Clan. Then it is certain that the third Hokage is incompetent.
Kanda Kyoichi was ready to eat, thinking about his next plan while eating.
Being the leader of a team was already within the plan.
Next step...
"In the war with Kiri and Iwa, I want to achieve more merits, but the most important thing is to have more people backing me. If Danzo wants to attack me in the future, I will have the ability to counter it."
Orochimaru's strength and status were sufficient, but in the end, didn't he run away from Danzo? It was because he himself was not clean!
Therefore, no clues can be left behind.
Thinking of this, Kyoichi had a clear understanding of what to do in the follow-up plan, and he was no longer confused.
As for now, exercise and improve yourself.
"There's no class tomorrow, so I will meet Dai and Gai to practice and exchange ideas. If the time is right, we can exchange the Seven Heavens Breathing Method and the Eight Gates."
…
The next day.
In Konoha, new faces wearing ninja uniforms keep appearing.
These are the ninjas who have returned from the front.
Kyoichi didn't care much; he ran and exercised along the way, and there was a shadow clone at home who relentlessly practiced swordsmanship.
His swordsmanship has improved a lot. But it still might not be enough to fight against powerful enemies; at least not as skilled and direct as his other attack methods.
Still have to practice!
"Kanda Senpai, let's have a race!"
Koichi didn't answer.
Gai followed for a while, unable to hold back, and suddenly kicked Kyoichi.
Kyoichi tilted his head to avoid it.
Gai flew over his head, but at this moment, a green shadow came quickly from behind.
"Gai! You... how dare you attack Kanda-sensei!"
Bang!
With a muffled sound, Gai was kicked away and almost hit a stone.
Dai is also here!
Kyoichi's mouth twitched.
Although he had met them once or twice, the antics of this father and son, are still a little difficult to get used to.
However, every time Gai gets hit so hard, he is still fine. No wonder they can practice the eight gates—the ability to carry weights and fight is practiced from childhood.
He ignored the father and son duo, and continued to run forward.
They will catch up anyway.
But after running a few steps, Kyoichi narrowed his eyes to the woods.
Is someone spying?
He felt it for a moment, and understood.
This chakra signature-
Hatake Kakashi!
He kept calm and continued to run forward, as if he didn't perceive Kakashi's presence.
He got closer to the spot , and suddenly, the trees rustled.
The next moment, Kakashi appeared behind Kyoichi, with a kunai on Kyoichi's neck.
"Humph."
Not so much.
He was about to put away his kunai, but in the next moment; Kyoichi in front of him slowly dissipated.
Clone? Impossible!! When?!!
Kakashi's eyes widened. Although he was surprised, he reacted very quickly, jumped away, and performed ninjutsu while he was in the air.
Earth Release!...
He was about to sneak away.
But soon, he discovered that his ninjutsu was ineffective—
There is a layer of chakra on the ground that belongs to someone else, blocking his escape ninjutsu.
Amazing!
Just a moment ago, Kyoichi switched positions with the clone he could not distinguish, and then spread chakra with his feet, so that he could not evacuate.
This is a veteran of the battlefield.
At this time…
Ding!!
"As expected of Hatake Kakashi"
Kyoichi was unable to touch Kakashi.
In the blink of an eye, Kakashi quickly analyzed the scene and made a judgment. This reaction is indeed very strong, and the strength is not weak either. If it was him without system improvement, he would have been defeated by Kakashi at the first meeting.
Now he is not afraid at all!
To Kakashi's surprise, Kyoichi directly held his kunai.
At this time, Kakashi noticed that Kyoichi's hands were all black.
Hardening? Not quite right.
This is another earth ninjutsu! Iron Skin! (A/N: Previously I used Earth Spear. Now I feel like Iron Skin is better. They're both official translations)
He wanted to use the lightning Chakra to crack it on the spot. But Kyoichi's grip instantly became very terrifying; Kakashi couldn't hold the his kunai at all, and the weapon was taken away in an instant.
What a terrifying strength!
Kakashi looked at the Kunai that was taken away, and knew that he was completely defeated at that moment; if the opponent was an enemy, he could directly use the Kunai in his right hand to kill him.
Amazing!
The opponent is only six or seven years older than him, but his strength is not at the same level.
The most unacceptable thing for him was the moment when the kunai was taken away; he even felt that he would not be the opponent of the guy in front of him for another six or seven years. This was a frustration he had never experienced before.
'No!! If I can use Lighning Ninjutsu, and grow for a few more years, I will definitely be able to defeat this guy.'
Kakashi clenched his fists, cheering himself up.
"Kakashi, I said yesterday that you are not his opponent, but you are still here to challenge Kanda Senpai."
After Gai arrived, he laughed at him.
But, he himself also had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and apparently was beaten by Dai.
