Chapter 172
The outskirts of Konoha.
The two figures were in a tense confrontation.
One of the figures was bathed in a blue chakra the color of water, this was the Sanbi Chakra Mode, the Biju chakra gathered in Rin's hand, forming a chakra scalpel.
Klang! Klang!
Rin's opponent was Kakashi.
Kakashi's figure was shrouded in the lightning attribute chakra, as he relentlessly swung the White Fang Blade, colliding with Rin's chakra scalpel.
Click!
After several collisions, when Rin sharply swung the chakra scalpel, suppressing the White Fang Blade, a stream of chakra gushed out from behind her, forming a large tail, rushing towards Kakashi.
Kakashi's expression changed, he stiffened abruptly and pushed away Rin's chakra scalpel with difficulty, then immediately stepped back, at the same time cutting off the chakra's tail with White Fang's Blade.
"Ah ... ah...»
After successfully breaking the distance, Kakashi sighed heavily.
On the other side, sweat stood out on Rin's forehead, her chest was heaving visibly, and the control of the Sanbi chakra was carrying a huge burden for her.
This friendly match ended in a draw.
In several previous encounters, Kakashi had managed to suppress the Sanbi Rin chakra.
But now, Rin was already fighting Kakashi on equal terms and even putting a lot of pressure on him. In this encounter, Rin obviously had the initiative.
Nearby.
Yeruashi was standing at the edge of the clearing, and on the opposite side of it, two wooden pegs were stuck into the ground, on which were fanciful patterns, this was the seal of Hiraishin Yeruashi.
Yeruashi stared intently at the pegs, sensing the seals and navigating them through space, then his chakra began to move.
Phew!
His figure instantly appeared above one of the stakes.
But although he is Erase successfully transported...the other things were still there.
After falling on the peg, Yeruashi immediately felt a chill all over his body, without hesitation or hesitation, he instantly went back, leaving a series of afterimages, and quickly put on his things that had not yet fallen to the ground.
His reaction and the traffic was almost perfect, because the same thing had happened many times before.
Just move the body and move with the clothes...these are two completely different things. Even after spending almost a month of the outside world's time training in the fivefold time acceleration state, he can still barely transfer clothes when using Hiraishin, about once out of ten.
"Almost...»
Erase whispered thoughtfully.
Although his talent for space-type ninjutsu was slightly higher than Kakashi's, it still couldn't be considered very high. Yeruashi takes about a second to perceive the desired seal and activate Hiraishin, with such a delay, the combat use of this technique does not make any sense.
The power of Hiraishin lies precisely in the absence of the need to fold the seals, and a second delay is enough to use the bunshin twice.
But it doesn't matter, because Yeruashi is learning this technique not for use in battle, but for long-distance travel, so this delay doesn't bother him in any way.
The main focus should be on the perception of seals at long distances.
Due to the fact that Yeruashi's talent for spatial ninjutsu is slightly higher than Kakashi's, he can perceive seals at longer distances, but the farther away the seal is, the more blurry it is and requires more time to focus.
According to Yeruashi's rough estimate, if he leaves the Hiraishin seal in Rouran and tries to move to it from Konoha, it will take from ten to thirty seconds to fix the position of the seal and apply the technique.
That's enough.
Once training is complete, a figure of Erase blurred, quickly arrived to the place of training of Rin and Kakashi, he immediately interrupted their friendly: "it's Time to relax.»
After the sparring was over, Yeruashi looked at Kakashi, who was clearly more battered than Rin, and smiled, " Now you can't even beat Rin, brother.»
Their previous encounters had mostly ended with Kakashi winning, but as Rin became more adept at controlling Biju's chakra, the situation began to gradually change, until eventually, Kakashi was overpowered in a direct encounter.
Kakashi normalized his rapid breathing, took a deep breath, and said, " If this is a life-and-death struggle, I can still come out victorious»
Rin's combat experience is very poor.
If they fought on the edge of life and death, regardless of any injuries, Kakashi was still confident that he would be able to injure Rin and gain the upper hand, but this was only the way to fight against the enemy.
Rin dispelled the Sanbi chakra and smiled brightly, seemingly not caring at all about the outcome of the sparring: "Kakashi, as always, is very strong, I only borrow Isobu's strength.»
"Come on, it's dinner time.»
Erase smiled and went in the direction of Konoha.
Rin and Kakashi followed him.
Just as they left, about a hundred meters away from the training area, a masked figure jumped down from a tree.
He looked after the departing Yeruashi and after a few seconds moved in the other direction, quickly entering Konoha from the other side and going underground.
The Base Of The Root.
"Lord Danzo.»
The Shinobi who had been following Yeruashi arrived at the Root base and knelt down in front of Danzo, beginning the report in an emotionless voice: "Erase Hatake, Hatake Kakashi and Jinchuuriki of SANBI continue to train at the same place. No oddities were noticed, but Jinchuriki's control over Biju's power is growing unusually fast, apparently, her combat power is already higher than Kakashi's.»
Danzo strolled around the room with a calm face, listening to his subordinate's report.
The rapid growth of Jinchuriki Sanbi's power was bad news...Erase getting harder and harder to deal with.
If the power of Jinchuriki Sanbi continues to grow, then in the future, she can become a huge threat and a powerful supporter of Yeruashi.
We can't wait any longer!
A chill flickered in the depths of Danzo's eyes.
Hiruzen still did not agree with his plan for the control of Erase only ordered the ANBU to keep an eye on this threat. According to Danzo, this indecisive behavior of Hiruzen, sooner or later will lead to serious consequences.
"Do you strive for balance? But you won't be able to balance the Yeruashi, it's too difficult a task, Hiruzen...»
Danzo made a decision.
We need to act.
Until then, until the turn of Eroiche to take control and turn it into your tool, it will immediately surpass Kerosene.
He will completely suppress Hiruzen and Minato, taking a dominant position among the upper layers of Konoha!
Then he will gradually take all of Konoha under his control and re-start the war, starting to implement his plan to unite the world of Shinobi!
