Crackle!
The sound of electric arcs crackling faintly rang out, like thousands of birds taking flight and chirping.
The Lightning chakra suddenly condensed in Kakashi's hand interrupted Minato's words.
"Minato-sensei, you said that Kiyoshi and I are Jonin, so we are each the captain of our team. The entire team must listen to the captain's instructions. This is the rule."
Having witnessed Kiyoshi's terrifying ninjutsu, Kakashi was a little impatient and emphasized the word "rule."
He wanted to see how his technique compared to the technique developed by Kiyoshi.
Zzzzz…
Kakashi's right hand struggled to control the large amount of Lightning chakra caused by activation, and he used his left hand to press down on his right wrist.
The grass and soil below emitted a burnt smell under the stimulation of the electric arc.
"…Alright."
Seeing Kakashi's determined expression, Minato had no choice but to nod.
He originally wanted Kiyoshi to continue using that technique that could enchant kunai with Lightning Release, but now that Kakashi was so insistent, he could only see what new technique Kakashi had developed first.
Making Kiyoshi and Kakashi both captains was intended to train them.
As long as the two were strong enough, even if they went deep into enemy territory, they would have a chance to stall for time.
That way, when he arrived, he might be able to minimize the losses.
"Take this!"
The chakra in Kakashi's hand was completely condensed, forming a blue electric arc.
Chidori!
Kakashi tried his best to control the chakra in his hand. Even if there were many enemies, using this technique would solve them instantly.
As swift as Minato's nickname "Yellow Flash," it wouldn't be weaker than Kiyoshi's technique.
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!
Kakashi rushed out.
The dust raised caused Rin to subconsciously block her face with her arms.
"I didn't expect him to rush straight over." Mahiru cursed inwardly, calling him a fool.
This white-haired brat was not as calm as the Uchiha just now.
The shadow clones and several comrades all drew back and threw a series of ranged ninja tools such as kunai and shuriken at Kakashi.
The cold light mixed with the cold wind flew towards Kakashi.
Minato put his hand on the ninja tool bag behind his waist, just about to throw a kunai to help Kakashi knock down these obstacles.
However, someone was faster than him.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
The sparks ignited by the collision shone in the air. All the ninja tools thrown by the enemy were blocked by the shuriken thrown by Kiyoshi.
"Uchiha's Manipulated Shuriken Technique!" Inabi exclaimed.
Kiyoshi placed the shuriken between his fingers and threw them all at once, clearly using the Uchiha's technique.
Moreover, using force against force, he only threw eight shuriken, but intercepted dozens of the enemy's ninja tools.
"Damn it!"
Mahiru immediately began to move his main body's position.
Who on earth is that Uchiha?
"Got another trait."
While covering Kakashi, Kiyoshi heard a prompt from the trait panel.
It prompted him that he had acquired two traits [Tool Mastery (Green)] and [Shuriken Master (Green)].
The former gave him better adaptability to various different tools, increasing the power by 10%.
The latter increased the training speed of shuriken-related ninjutsu by 10%.
That is, the training speed of ninjutsu such as Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique is accelerated.
"Better than nothing, I guess." Kiyoshi closed the panel.
Kakashi in front was still rushing forward. Through the ninja tools thrown by Mahiru and others just now, Kakashi had already grasped their positions.
However, due to the speed brought by "Chidori," Kakashi's dynamic vision and body simply couldn't control it well.
Through this point, Mahiru drew his katana and was about to slash at Kakashi from bottom to top.
"Just a little bit more…"
Kakashi widened his eyes and felt pain in his armpit.
The "Chidori" in his hand was difficult to redirect. If this continued, his right half would be cut off.
The next moment.
Kiyoshi turned into a bolt of lightning, leaving a roar behind, and collided past.
"…What!"
Mahiru looked at Kiyoshi who had suddenly appeared. The other party blocked him with a sword.
Mahiru, whose mind was all on Kakashi, couldn't resist Kiyoshi's surprise attack.
Crack!
Cracks appeared on his sword.
He couldn't withstand the force of Kiyoshi's rush and took a few steps back, trying to unload this force.
Unfortunately, Kiyoshi used force again in his wrist, instantly cutting the near-broken katana in two
Splurt!
A line of blood appeared on Mahiru's chest, and a large amount of blood flowed out.
"You… who are you? You are clearly not the Yellow Flash, why are you so fast?" Mahiru asked, enduring the severe pain.
He finally recognized that the blonde youth opposite him was Minato.
But the superiors only said that if they encountered Minato, they could retreat directly, and there would be no punishment for mission failure.
But who is the unfamiliar Uchiha in front of him?
A rising star?
Mahiru lost too much blood, his eyes went black, and he completely lost his voice.
Until his death, he still held doubts in his heart.
Kiyoshi said, "Kakashi, it seems that you can't control this technique yet. Why don't you tell me about this technique, and I'll see if I can improve it."
The lightning on Kiyoshi's body stopped, and he gently flicked the sword in his hand, leaving a line of blood stains on the ground.
The "Chidori" that Kakashi is currently developing belongs to the field of S-rank ninjutsu.
The highest rank of ninjutsu in his arsenal other than the Flying Thunder God Technique is only A-rank.
Of course, such a good thing has to be intervened in.
"…Alright." Kakashi nodded without hesitation.
Kiyoshi's attainments in Lightning Release are indeed no less than his, or rather, greater than him.
Kiyoshi is skilled in ninjutsu and taijutsu, while he is skilled in attack-type ninjutsu.
Covering the whole body with Lightning chakra is much more difficult than covering a single hand.
"Are you okay?"
Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to solve the remaining enemies, looking at Kakashi clutching his wound.
Rin was using medical ninjutsu to help heal Kakashi's wound. And Obito's face was still filled with shock.
Just now, when Kiyoshi and Kakashi were talking, an Iwa ninja had attacked Obito.
Fortunately, Minato rescued Obito in time, so he was not harmed.
Minato shook his head in his heart. Whether it was Kakashi or Obito, they were too immature.
On the contrary, Kiyoshi, who used to be in the same class as them, was much more mature.
The technique developed by Kiyoshi was very practical, and the timing of rescuing Kakashi was also very good.
The others, Inabi and Tekka, although they were both Uchiha like Kiyoshi, should not be able to do such a thing.
Minato said, "Obito, this is the battlefield, don't look around distractedly."
Obito muttered, "I know, Minato-sensei."
It was indeed very embarrassing to lose face like this in front of Rin.
Minato looked at Kakashi and said, "Another thing is… Kakashi, it's best not to use that technique you just used again."
"It seems that the power is concentrated on one point for a surprise attack."
"It is indeed very destructive and fast, but you yourself will not be able to see through the opponent's counterattack due to the excessive speed, so your technique is not complete."
Kakashi was silent.
Minato emphasized again, "If you want to develop a technique, it is best to use a hands-free ninjutsu like Kiyoshi, so that you can ensure safety to the greatest extent."
He could see that Kakashi was absent-minded and didn't listen.
"…Before carrying out the mission separately, I will say one more thing, 'Teamwork is more important than everything' for ninjas."
