"Kakashi, let's practice, I've learned some swordsmanship recently."

After taking a few steps, Kiyoshi turned his head and said to Kakashi.

Encountering Orochimaru and Tsunade was purely accidental.

He hadn't forgotten the purpose of his visit today, which was to see if he could get a skill.

Konoha White Fang was known throughout the ninja world for his short sword, and Minato Namikaze himself said that even the Sannin admired him.

This more or less shows that Sakumo Hatake has strength.

His swordsmanship is likely not simple either.

As for whether the swordsmanship used by Sakumo Hatake was created by him or a secret swordsmanship passed down through the Hatake generations, it is not known.

"Okay."

Kakashi hesitated for a while and nodded in agreement.

His brain is now like mush.

Practicing swordsmanship is a good way to get rid of these distracting thoughts.

He stopped and hurried to another place, saying he was going to get a short sword.

"I have one."

Kiyoshi drew the small katana behind him.

"Not using a wooden one?"

"No need."

Kiyoshi shook his head.

Practice weapons made of wood have a completely different feel from iron ones.

Once you get used to one, you have to spend time re-adapting to the other, so it's better to use a small katana from the beginning.

Kakashi is a genius and won't really hurt himself.

And he has the Sharingan, so he's not so easy to hurt, and he won't hurt Kakashi.

"Alright."

Seeing Kiyoshi's request, Kakashi climbed through another window and took out a short sword.

Kiyoshi glanced at it casually, the knife was white, with a slight metallic texture in its smoothness, he didn't know what metal it was.

This is definitely not a weapon he can afford.

Even the small katana in his hand is second-hand, and a very small one at that.

It's not that Kiyoshi doesn't want to buy a bigger one, but every inch more will cost an inch more.

Kiyoshi's financial resources don't support him squandering like that.

"Let's begin."

Kakashi and Kiyoshi went to a relatively open area in the courtyard.

"Okay."

Kiyoshi nodded.

As soon as the words fell.

Kakashi had already drawn his sword and rushed up.

The blade cut through the air, bringing a sharp wind.

Kiyoshi's eyes narrowed, and he quickly raised his hand and swung his sword to block.

Although this sword was fast, the training and skills he had gained during this period had greatly improved his physical fitness, enough to withstand it.

Clang clang clang!

The sound of short swords clashing echoed in the courtyard, and occasionally a faint light flashed between the blades, instantly extinguished in the swing.

Kiyoshi frowned, Kakashi's swordsmanship was indeed good.

Compared to his immature swordsmanship, Kakashi pressed forward step by step, his movements precise and swift, without any unnecessary gaps.

"Even if I don't get a skill, it's good to be able to find and fix my weaknesses."

Kiyoshi thought to himself.

His stamina is better than Kakashi's, even if his movements take more time and effort than Kakashi's, the Nightmoon clan's talent and the skill bonus can allow him to last for a while with his endurance.

It just so happens that he can find out which aspects he is lacking in.

……

Inside the house.

"That guy, he didn't even say hello to me..."

Shizune secretly watched Kiyoshi leave.

Last time, she was curious and kept staring at Kiyoshi, and he found out.

This experience left a deep impression on Shizune.

"He's becoming more and more like it."

Shizune muttered to herself.

In just the past few days, Shizune could feel that Kiyoshi had grown taller.

Carrying a small katana on his back, he happened to cover the Uchiha clan's flame fan crest.

This is getting closer and closer to the dark-skinned Cloud ninja she imagined.

The only difference is that Kiyoshi's skin is not so dark and his lips are not so thick.

"What are you distracted by?"

Tsunade's words brought Shizune back to her senses.

"I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade."

"You go out too, the rest is just for us."

Tsunade's expression gradually became serious.

She looked at Shizune.

The less you know about this matter, the safer, if a ninja knows too much unnecessary information, it will be harmful to themselves.

"Yes... Lady Tsunade."

Shizune hurriedly packed these sealed scrolls in her bag, then lowered her head and went out.

"Hehe, so young."

Orochimaru opened his mouth, his mouth opening and closing at an exaggerated angle, and spat out a scroll covered in mucus from his throat.

"Orochimaru, don't be disgusting like a snake!"

Tsunade said with disgust.

"Alright, Sakumo, let's get down to business."

……

Outside the courtyard, Shizune hurried out.

She was planning to stroll around nearby when suddenly a crisp sound of blades colliding caught her attention.

"What are Kiyoshi and Kakashi doing?"

She raised her eyes and looked, through the wooden fence of the courtyard, she could see Kiyoshi and Kakashi's figures not far away.

"Kakashi's father is the legendary White Fang, and also the unique White Fang of Konoha, Kiyoshi is actually comparing swordsmanship with Kakashi?"

Shizune was surprised.

She and Kiyoshi are also in the same class.

However, Shizune is usually very low-key.

Ever since her uncle Kato Dan died, Lady Tsunade has kept her by her side.

She remembers that Kiyoshi doesn't seem to have had any sparring with Kakashi, the only time was when he won against Obito, the dead last.

Shizune became interested and walked towards the two.

A few minutes later.

Kiyoshi had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

His stamina is not bad.

If it were a wooden sword, he wouldn't feel so tired now.

But the small katana in his hand is a real sword made of iron, and its weight is not light.

"Kakashi, your swordsmanship is good, then I have to get serious too."

Kiyoshi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his left eye already had a touch of scarlet, red as if dripping blood.

A tomoe slowly circled and rotated.

Kakashi's movements instantly slowed down a lot in Kiyoshi's eyes.

Like a nimble bird jumping into a viscous solution, every flap of its wings brings resistance, slowing down its actions.

The moment the Sharingan opened, Kakashi's movements paused, and he thought:

"Sharingan."

There are also a few Uchiha in the other classes, but only Kiyoshi has opened his eyes.

Only a minority of ninjas in the Uchiha clan can awaken the Sharingan.

This is the first time Kakashi has faced an Uchiha with the Sharingan.

He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, wanting to win with speed.

Clang clang clang!

The swords in their hands kept colliding.

Kakashi raised an eyebrow, his gaze gradually becoming serious.

After a few rounds of confrontation, Kiyoshi gradually transitioned from passive defense to active offense.

The following confrontation became completely different.

Every time Kakashi drew his sword, it seemed to be accurately predicted by Kiyoshi, and the previously effortless rhythm was gradually disrupted.

"Clang!"

Kiyoshi took advantage of Kakashi's brief opening to counterattack with a sword, the blade brushed past Kakashi's short sword, bringing a crisp metallic hum.

Kakashi took a step back, his hand holding the sword tightened slightly, his expression no longer relaxed:

"I see, the Sharingan can not only see through the enemy's movements, but even elevate one's own reaction to another level..."

"That's right, this is the power of the Sharingan."

Kiyoshi nodded.

Once the Sharingan is opened, the user's insight will be amplified.
