Towards noon, two figures jumped one after the other, jumping between the branches and trunks, and rushed towards the depths of the Konoha Forest.

The leader was Kakashi, with a grim face, a numb expression, and a look in his eyes as if he was dead.

After the loss of his father, his friend, and his love, Kakashi lost his master and mother, and under the repeated blows, he almost collapsed.

Kai was worried about Kakashi in this state and forced him out to compete.

If it was usual, this kind of meaningless competition, Kakashi would definitely refuse, but now he also wanted to divert his attention.

"Hoo ......"

Kai let out a big breath and stood still on the shore of the big lake, his legs half-sunk into the wet dirt, he turned his head to look at Kakashi, who had just arrived at him, and a big smile appeared on his face, "38-38, Kakashi, now we're tied again." ”

Kakashi didn't speak, just gasped for air.

Comparing his foot strength with a physical idiot like Kai, he couldn't afford to relax for half a minute, his body was already on the verge of the limit, the sweat in his pores kept flowing out, and his clothes were wet.

Kakashi looked at the sparkling, quiet and tranquil surface of the lake, and suddenly felt better, as if something heavy in his heart had been metabolized with sweat.

… It would be nice if the village was like this lake, and it would have been so peaceful.

Kakashi thought like this,

Then, he was stumbled by the rushing waves.

"Wind? No, it's ninjutsu! ”

Kakashi came to his senses and immediately took a battle stance, leaping to his feet and jumping onto the trunk of a tree to hide his figure.

Kai landed beside Kakashi and pressed his shoulder, "Don't be nervous, Kakashi, it's not an enemy, someone might be practicing ninjutsu." ”

Hearing Kai say this, Kakashi also sensed that something was wrong, if the previous wave was an attack, the power was a little too small.

Just as he was about to find out who was practicing ninjutsu, he caught a glimpse of Kai's clothes out of the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help but pause.

Kai's clothes were also soaked, but the reason for this was clearly not the lake water.

Kai noticed Kakashi's gaze, and the tacit understanding between the two made him guess what Kakashi was thinking at once, and grinned, "I didn't expect you to be able to dodge, and the waves were unpleasant." ”

Kakashi didn't reply, and jumped towards the lake without looking back.

Losing to Kai in the competition was nothing, but what had just happened made him a little embarrassed, and Kakashi now wanted to find someone who practiced ninjutsu as soon as possible and take a small revenge to save face.

Kakashi wasn't the kind of person to be cautious, but now he wanted to bask in that vindictive mood.

As for whether he can succeed, Kakashi has no doubt that judging from the ninjutsu just now, the opponent's strength is not very strong, at most he is a medium ninja.

"Kakashi, wait for me."

Kai strode after the meteor.

The person who unleashed the ninjutsu was not far from them, and the two of them soon saw each other's appearances.

Kakashi stopped, his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Orochimaru, it's him." ”

"Oh, it's Orochimaru-sama." Kai was puzzled, "That ninjutsu was released by him?" How could it be, obviously the power is so small. ”

Kai's question is also Kakashi's, but what if there is a doubt, even Kai won't be so nervous as to jump out and ask directly.

That's the 'Three Ninjas', the big men in the village.

Kai's question came and went quickly, and he sighed with emotion, "It's a pity that if it's Orochimaru-sama, then there is no way, your revenge can't be avenged, let's go." ”

Kakashi pressed Kai, who wanted to leave, "Let's stay here and see." ”

"It's not good."

"We don't hide our tracks, we just look here, and if we find out, we say it's accidental."

"That'...... All right. ”

While the two were talking, Orochimaru's ninjutsu didn't stop for a moment, and Kakashi, who was observant, soon found the clue.

"His ninjutsu is a good standard for performance."

"Standards? I don't see that. Kai's eyes widened, "I just see that it's not very powerful, and it seems that Shinobi can also use it." ”

"You don't understand, Orochimaru is showing off his skills."

Kakashi glanced at Kai, who looked puzzled, and explained, "It consumes the least amount of chakra, but it fully exerts the power of ninjutsu, which requires extremely strong ninjutsu understanding and chakra control ability. ”

As he spoke, Kakashi's gaze returned to Orochimaru, who was performing ninjutsu.

He can also do this level of show skills, but that is only limited to the familiar ninjutsu, Orochimaru can perform so many and so quickly, the name of the 'three ninjas' is really not false.

"Oh, that's right." Kai looked confused.

Gunkenryu is known for being fast and ruthless, and is not good at Chakra's delicate control, and Kai barely knows ninjutsu, lacking understanding of what Kakashi is saying.

He touched his head, "It's not pretty, let's go." ”

"It's fine."

Kakashi nodded, the improvement of ninjutsu comprehension and chakra's control ability did not happen overnight, and just watching it would have no effect.

At this time, Orochimaru suddenly stopped showing off his skills, and instead used spiritism to take out a sword from the snake's mouth.

Kakashi could see at a glance that this was a rare and good sword, and the quality was even better than the one he had inherited from his family, and he couldn't help but pause.

"Wait, we'll see."

……

"This sword is called the Grass Pheasant Sword?"

The lamp god gently wiped the saliva from the sword and said, "Not bad name, good sword." ”

"But you don't seem to be happy with it." Orochimaru spoke, "You hold it, but you're thinking about another sword. ”

"Is it so obvious?"

The lamp god nodded, acknowledging what Orochimaru said, "In the last world, my host was a swordsman, and I also followed him to contact the sword weapon for a long time, and now that I see the new sword, there will inevitably be comparisons in my heart." ”

"His sword, good?"

Orochimaru is very interested in another world, the former host of the lamp god, and when he has a topic, he wants to find out as much information as possible.

Instead of answering this question directly, the lamp god asked rhetorically, "In the ninja world, what are the weapons of ninjas?" ”

Without waiting for Orochimaru to answer, he said to himself again,

"Senben, kunai, shuriken, short sword...... There are many, many types of ninja weapons. ”

"But in the last world, those ghost hunters, there were only swords."

"They are going to hunt down demons with swords that are far stronger than them."

"Many times, when the sword breaks, it means death."

"You say, is such a sword strong?"

After a brief silence, Orochimaru nodded. A weapon that intersects lives is naturally strong, and it must also be strong.

"So, don't underestimate the swordsmanship I'm going to show next."

The lamp god looked at the unprosperous lake and stood with his sword in his hand, "The last world is the world of swordsmen, they don't have fancy and dazzling ninjutsu, they don't have a variety of ninjutsu, and some of them are just swordsmanship that has developed to the pinnacle." ”

"Actually, I've been worried before, your body is so weak, whether the power of swordsmanship can be unleashed."

"Be prepared for serious injury."
