Chapter 22: Qianye vs Kakashi

Danzo continued: "I believe you must have heard of the name of Hatake Kakashi, the copy ninja. Yuhi Kurenai said that your strength has surpassed her teacher. Today, as long as you can hold on for one stick of incense in Kakashi's hands, you will pass the Chunin assessment.

At the same time, if you can show enough strength and then get the recognition of our Konoha high-level and the elite of the Anbu, you can be promoted to the Jonin by exception."

"I know, Danzo." Qianye said solemnly.

"Then everyone, please take your seats." Danzo still had a gloomy face and waved his hand impatiently.

The four members of Konoha F4 sat in the VIP seats. Yuhi Kurenai and Uchiha Itachi, who was wearing Anbu clothes, stood on both sides of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo respectively.

The rest of the Anbu continued to lurk in the surrounding trees.

A huge open space was cleared in the middle of the field, and Qianye and Kakashi stood twenty steps apart.

An Anbu stood between the two and acted as a referee.

"Then let's start." Sarutobi Hiruzen said to the referee.

"Fight..." The referee shouted with a long voice, jumped back, and left the battle circle.

Qianye and Kakashi made tiger seals with their right hands at the same time to show respect to their opponents.

"Begin." The moment the referee's voice fell, Qianye moved, and his hands quickly made seals. Suddenly, his whole body turned into cherry blossom petals and disappeared in front of everyone.

Illusion. Three Absolute Sakura activated!

"Illusion... This kid's strength has grown to this point..." Sarutobi Hiruzen made seals casually, disrupting his own chakra and removing the influence of Qianye's illusion on himself.

Others, except Uchiha Itachi who had the Mangekyō Sharingan, also followed suit and made corresponding movements.

Everyone was shocked by Qianye's attainment in illusion.

Swish, swish, swish...

A flash of knife light flashed, accompanied by the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air.

When most people in the field had not yet completely lifted their illusions, a pure white blade broke through the air, and Qianye's figure also appeared, and the blade pierced directly towards Kakashi's head.

"So fast... Not only the speed, but also the seal... and the strength are all outstanding."

Kakashi was suddenly startled, and the lazy look in his eyes suddenly disappeared. He did not dare to despise him anymore, and immediately drew out the sword behind him to block.

"Shatter it! Mirror Flower Water Moon." Qianye muttered in his heart.

He did not mean to break Kakashi's sword, but deliberately restrained his strength. When everyone in the field focused their attention on the Zanpakutō, he released the Mirror Flower Water Moon.

Then he continued to swing the sword to compete with Kakashi in physical skills.

Jinghua Shuiyue and Kakashi's swords kept colliding, and sparks flew in the air.

"Not only is it an illusionEven the physical skills and instant body skills have reached a very high level. Even among the jonin, he is also a leader. Hong, it seems that you have taught a good student. "On the judges' seat, Sarutobi Hiruzen gently stroked his goatee, commented on him, and said to Yuhi Hong with a calm attitude.

The other two Hokage advisors also showed some appreciation in their eyes.

As for Danzo, his eyes were uncertain, and no one knew what he was thinking.

As for Uchiha Itachi, he was more and more surprised.

With the Mangekyō Sharingan, his eyesight had already surpassed everyone present.

He vaguely saw that Qianye seemed to have been hiding something and had not tried his best.

"You are too kind, Hokage. I just provided some insignificant help. The key to Qianye's current strength is still relying on himself. "Yuhi Kurenai knew her own strengths very well. After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's praise, she hurried to explain.

While the two were talking, Qianye and Kakashi had fought for dozens of rounds, using various ninja tools and instant body techniques, and occasionally performing three-body techniques.

In the eyes of ordinary people, only two afterimages can be seen, constantly colliding in the air, rubbing out sparks.

Finally, when the incense was about to burn out, the two tacitly stopped the physical competition, because Qianye's current physical skills were about the same as Kakashi's, and their control of various opportunities was also on par. They had exchanges with each other, and continuing to compete would not have much effect.

This would only make the incense burn out, and Qianye would win without a fight.

"Senior Kakashi, you are really a copy ninja, so powerful!" Qianye used honorifics. His hands quickly formed seals.

"Same here. Be careful Qianye, the next wave of attacks is coming. "Kakashi's eyes showed a touch of approval, and his sword stabbed directly into the ground. While his hands were quickly forming seals, he sighed in his heart, excluding the blood limit, this is a genius who is not inferior to Uchiha Itachi.

Fire escape. Great fireball technique!

Kakashi took a deep breath, and a huge fireball spurted out of his mouth, like a huge sun, so dazzling.

After forming the seal, Qianye just stood there, letting the fireball swallow him.

"Qianye..." Seeing this, Yuhi Kurenai thought that Qianye did not dodge this attack, and shouted excitedly.

"Don't worry, Qianye's strength is stronger than you think." Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was still calm, and he explained calmly. Although he had been away from the battlefield for a long time, he still had the necessary eyesight.

"It's Lord Hokage. "Hearing this, Yuhi Kurenai also knew that she had lost her composure and hurriedly apologized.

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand indifferently and continued to watch the fight between Qianye and Kakashi.

The flames dissipated, and a shallow pit of moderate size was burned out where Qianye stood. Qianye curled up in the deep pit with wounds all over his body, and had lost consciousness.

"Did it succeed?" Kakashi murmured and walked closer to the shallow pit to check.

Just as he was about to approach, Qianye in the shallow pit suddenly made a bang and turned into smoke and dissipated. It was actually a shadow clone.

Earth escape. The technique of beheading in the heart.

The next moment, with a cry of "ah", Kakashi was dragged into the ground. In less than a second, only his head was left outside.

"Senior Kakashi, it seems that I won this time." Qianye's figure slowly rose from the ground.

"It's hard to say. "Kakashi's voice suddenly sounded behind Qianye, and after he finished speaking, the sword was already on his neck. And the 'Kakashi' who was pulled into the ground by the heart beheading technique turned into smoke and dissipated with a bang.

"How did you see through it, Sharingan?" Qianye did not look back, nor did he show a panic expression, and said lightly.

"Yes." Kakashi did not deny, "From the seal you just made, I saw that you were preparing the Earth Center Beheading Technique and Shadow Clone."

"Although the Earth Center Beheading Technique is suitable for sneak attacks, in a sense, it is also the most suitable technique to avoid frontal ninjutsu attacks."

"You can think of combining the two techniques together, and perform them in such a short time. Qianye, I have to say that you are really amazing."
