#115 - Art on your fingertips
"Let's use some simple ninjutsu."
Kiyoshi said, taking out a ninja sword from the sealing scroll.
Powerful ninjutsu would damage the nearby buildings, and this area is a prosperous area, so compensation would be an astronomical figure.
Kakashi nodded and slowly drew the short sword from his back.
Since it is a simple ninjutsu, it is best to use some auxiliary ninjutsu.
Such as 'Body Flicker Technique' and 'Substitution Technique'.
Kakashi nodded slowly, and then instantly extracted chakra from the soles of his feet, and the whole person rushed towards Kiyoshi like an arrow from a string.
Bang!
The two knives collided violently in the air, and the sound of metal colliding exploded in the sky above the rooftop, sparks flying everywhere.
"Your knife is too long."
Kakashi said lightly.
The knife Kiyoshi used was more than twice the length of the short knife in his hand.
"I like to use longer weapons."
Kiyoshi smiled slightly, and his wrist suddenly exerted force, and the ninja sword turned into a cold light and swept out.
He did not use "Chakra Flow · Fire Style", but simply used this ninja sword.
The advantage of a long knife is that it covers a wide range. Although it consumes more energy, Kiyoshi can support it with his physical talent and constantly exercised body.
If other ninjas of the same period were to imitate Kiyoshi's battle, they would be panting after a few swings.
Perhaps because Kakashi was focused on developing lightning ninjutsu, he neglected his swordsmanship, and gradually began to be suppressed by Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi's normal vision can also see Kakashi's movements clearly.
"The speed of growth is so fast."
Kakashi was secretly startled, and his fish eyes widened a bit.
He had communicated with Kiyoshi about swordsmanship before, but Kiyoshi was not as strong as he is now.
Kakashi felt that Kiyoshi's speed and capture ability had become much faster, and he could quickly see through his movements.
Crack!
A trace of electric arc emerged.
But it was not from Kiyoshi, but from Kakashi.
While developing new techniques, Kakashi also learned some lightning ninjutsu and knew how to activate his body in the most basic way.
The blades of the two constantly intersected in the air, sparks flew, and the light of the swords was as continuous as flowing water.
Minato Namikaze arrived with Kurenai Yuhi, Rin Nohara, Asuma Sarutobi, Obito, and others, and witnessed the two's swift offensive.
"As expected of Sakumo-senpai's son."
Minato Namikaze sighed first, and then focused his attention on Kiyoshi.
Whether it is athletic ability or reflexes, it can be seen that Kiyoshi is very talented.
Rin Nohara and Kurenai Yuhi were both watching Kakashi and Kiyoshi.
Obito and Asuma Sarutobi were secretly wondering how they would resist Kiyoshi's speed if they were in that position.
Before long, Kiyoshi caught a trace of Kakashi's flaw, and with an upward pick, knocked his short knife away.
"Kakashi, you have become unfamiliar with many of the things that Sakumo-sama taught you."
Kiyoshi stopped continuing to swing the ninja sword.
Kakashi only used lightning to activate a little bit of his body.
For example, "Chakra Flow" and some other techniques were not used.
The White Fang's short knife emits a white light.
Of course, whether Kakashi now can do that is another question.
"I have become a little unfamiliar with it."
Kakashi shook his head, secretly thinking that he was too focused on lightning ninjutsu and neglected swordsmanship.
He bent down to pick up the short knife, but there was no look of loss on his face.
Winning and losing are normal. He had wins and losses when he sparred with Kiyoshi in swordsmanship before.
This is not a real life-and-death duel, and both of them have banned their proficient ninjutsu.
"You have comprehended the term: [Art on the Fingertips (White)]"
[Term: Art on the Fingertips (White)]
[Achievement Requirement: Faster hand speed than the current Kakashi.]
[Progress: (Completed).]
[Effect: Your hand gestures for forming seals are like works of art, with their own appreciation value, and increase your hand speed by 10% on the original basis.]
[Note: You can continue to advance in the future.]
Listening to the term system's prompt, Kiyoshi closed it.
It is estimated that Kakashi's talent in forming seals gave him this term.
Improving the speed of forming seals is not bad.
For example, with the "Water Style · Water Dragon Bullet Technique" that has forty-four seals, with this term, Kiyoshi can form one or two seals faster than the enemy.
The time for one seal may be a matter of life and death.
Moreover, this is a percentage. Kiyoshi's own seal formation speed is already very fast, and now it is faster, it is estimated that he is among the fastest seal formation ninjas among the Chunin.
"Teacher Minato, why are you here?"
Kakashi asked, looking at the people who came up.
"It's nothing, just came up to take a look."
Minato Namikaze said.
Kakashi nodded, and then went down from here.
Kiyoshi also followed, and when he passed Rin Nohara, Kiyoshi's right eye was twitching.
Kakashi is indeed going astray, so he will help correct Kakashi.
It's just that in the process, Rin needs to pay a little fee.
This is essentially an equal exchange.
…………
The next day.
The group gathered at the village entrance, checked their supplies, and embarked on the road to the Land of Demons.
Most ninjas use their feet to travel, because the outside of Konoha is full of rugged mountain roads, and only ninjas can step on the tree trunks and constantly shuttle.
The Land of Demons is in an extremely remote location, and many ninjas do not even know where this place is.
Because it was the first time to perform a long-range mission, both Minato Namikaze and Yuki Minazuki were very careful.
This is not just a simple mission within the Land of Fire. To reach the Land of Demons, you also need to cross the borders of several countries.
Especially in today's increasingly tense situation and constant friction in the ninja world.
It is very likely to encounter attacks from some rogue ninjas and wandering ninjas, and even malicious attacks from other ninja villages.
Each village will have a list of geniuses from other villages. If they meet, they will try to kill the genius in the cradle.
Or take advantage of the fact that ninjas with bloodline limits do not have the protection of the village, and directly **** the bloodline limit holders abroad, in order to increase such a bloodline limit for their own forces.
Kiyoshi and his party were lucky and did not encounter any danger along the way.
Only Rin Nohara's expression was not quite right, and she kept talking to Kakashi.
Kakashi seemed to be stimulated by Kiyoshi, and did not pay much attention to Rin Nohara. Not only did he not give up practicing lightning ninjutsu, but he also honed his swordsmanship.
Except for the time to hurry, Kakashi was doing these things.
The result was that Kakashi was even busier.
"It's getting dark, let's rest here for now."
Minato Namikaze glanced at the sky, the golden dusk.
After a day of rushing, continuing to rush at night will be dangerous.
"Obito, quickly put down your pot."
Minato Namikaze glanced at Obito.
When performing daily tasks, ninjas carry soldier pills and some basic dry food.
But when there are no enemies, you can also make a fire to cook and make some instant food.
This will relieve the ninja's mental fatigue, and constant tasks will accumulate psychological pressure on the ninja.
