Chapter 657: Teaching in Konoha, the System Says I

In the blink of an eye, the sky was covered in dark clouds, with lightning flashing and thunder rolling.

"It really is much simpler and more convenient than using Lightning Style to draw down lightning."

Kakashi Hatake withdrew his Lightning Style chakra and couldn't help but swing the blade a couple of times.

"Could this be the legendary Hatake Sword Art?"

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Itachi know it?"

Kakashi Hatake was somewhat surprised.

"I don't know it, I've just heard of it."

Kitazawa replied.

Kakashi Hatake looked at the blade in his hand, memories flashing through his eyes.

It had been a long time since he heard anyone discuss the Hatake Sword Art.

"It's a pity that in the current ninja world, when people mention sword arts, they only think of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist Village."

Kitazawa shook his head and said, "Itachi should know that before the Seven Ninja Swordsmen became famous, the Hatake Sword Art had already shaken the ninja world."

"Itachi're saying so much—do Itachi want to witness the Hatake Sword Art?"

Kakashi Hatake turned his head to look at him and asked.

"If I could witness it, that would naturally be for the best."

Kitazawa coughed lightly and said.

"Then let's have a contest of swordsmanship."

Kakashi Hatake gripped the hilt of the blade and said.

"Go easy on me."

Kitazawa smiled and took out Zangetsu.

He had only learned the Konoha-style sword art; in a pure contest of swordsmanship, he naturally couldn't compare to the Hatake Sword Art.

Kakashi Hatake slowly exhaled.

Holding a blade after such a long time made him feel a power reviving within his body.

Kakashi Hatake flashed forward, the ninja blade in his hand thrusting out violently.

So fast!

Kitazawa's pupils constricted, and Zangetsu immediately blocked in front of him.

*Clang.

Kakashi Hatake retreated as soon as his strike missed.

He turned his right hand, the ninja blade shimmering with white light, and quickly thrust toward Kitazawa's eyes.

Kitazawa subconsciously squinted his eyes.

Truly an assassin-like sword art.

No wonder Sakumo Hatake was able to earn the title "White Fang of the Leaf."

However, he couldn't just admit defeat like this.

Although his swordsmanship couldn't compare, his physical fitness was stronger than Kakashi Hatake's.

Kitazawa leaned backward, avoiding Kakashi Hatake's thrust.

At the same time, the ninja blade in his hand slashed from bottom to top toward Kakashi Hatake.

"Well done!"

Kakashi Hatake became more excited the more they fought.

He felt as if he had returned to his youth, sparring with Obito.

Every time, he had been able to defeat him using the Hatake Sword Art.

The sun began to rise.

The two of them were locked in combat.

The sound of *clang, clang, clang* was rhythmic.

But to Obito, who was watching from afar, it was extremely annoying.

After he arrived at the Hidden Leaf Village with the Hidden Mist Village ninja delegation, he had been forced to attend meetings all day.

He had thought this negotiation would end quickly, but who knew the Hidden Leaf Village would refuse to hand over the Lightning Blade: Kiba at all costs.

By the second day, Obito found an excuse not to attend the negotiations and instead came to the Ninja Academy.

Not long after he arrived, Kitazawa brought the reforged Lightning Blade: Kiba to find Kakashi Hatake.

Only then did Obito understand why the Hidden Leaf Village was unwilling to hand over the Lightning Blade: Kiba.

So it had been given to Kakashi Hatake.

Clearly, because he didn't know the cause and effect, he had developed a slight bias.

Obito subconsciously clenched his fists.

Why did the Hidden Leaf Village still value such a self-deprecating piece of trash so highly?

From childhood to adulthood, Kakashi Hatake had always garnered the most attention.

And him?

He had nothing.

He had finally managed to catch Rin Nohara's eye, but he wasn't the only one.

As a youth, he hadn't thought much of it and had even become friends with Kakashi Hatake.

But in the end, the outcome was beyond his expectations.

Kakashi Hatake had killed Rin Nohara with his own hands using Chidori.

He didn't understand.

Was the Hidden Leaf Village really more important than Rin Nohara?

And why was Minato Namikaze, the fastest in the ninja world, late?

Precisely because of this, he returned to the Hidden Leaf Village immediately after his wounds healed, triggering the Nine-Tails Incident.

He wanted the Hidden Leaf Village to feel his pain; he wanted Minato Namikaze to pay the price.

And while he was at it, he would seize the Nine-Tails, complete the Eye of the Moon Plan, and build a new world with Rin Nohara.

"Well done!"

Kakashi Hatake's voice startled him back to reality.

Obito subconsciously raised his head.

The familiar appearance of Kakashi Hatake entered his vision, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

What are Itachi doing?

This isn't the reaction I want to see from Itachi?

Have Itachi forgotten that Itachi killed Rin?

"Kakashi seems very happy."

A sudden voice sounded by his feet.

"Shut up!"

Obito turned his head and glared fiercely at White Zetsu.

"I have some intelligence here."

White Zetsu wasn't afraid of him at all and said, "The reason Kakashi came to teach is because of Hiruzen Sarutobi's arrangement."

"The reason?"

Obito asked coldly.

He had thought Kakashi Hatake would wallow in his own degradation, but seeing him living so well now, he found it hard to accept.

"The Genius Class."

White Zetsu gave a rough summary of the situation regarding the Genius Class.

"What Genius Class? Just a bunch of brats."

Obito said disdainfully.

If there had been a Genius Class back then, he certainly wouldn't have gotten in, because he had always been a dead last.

But being a dead last didn't stop him from becoming the top powerhouse in the ninja world.

"I also found out another piece of intelligence."

White Zetsu chuckled and said, "Kakashi has taken on a student named Sasuke Uchiha."

"Uchiha?"

Obito's expression immediately stiffened.

What does this mean?

Why pick anyone else as a student—why did it have to be an Uchiha?

Are Itachi trying to have him replace me?

Obito watched Kakashi Hatake fighting with Kitazawa, feeling extremely displeased.
