Chapter 191: Punishment

"Fight against my shadow clone."

"If you win, I'll grant you one request."

"The opposite also applies."

Kawaki offered rewards and punishments, pointing at the shadow clone beside him that was only allocated a small amount of chakra.

"Teacher, what do we have to promise if we lose?"

Yahiko couldn't even imagine that he could win. He really had a big psychological shadow.

They three had witnessed with their own eyes how Kawaki killed Hanzō.

"Have some spirit. You're only thinking about losing."

Konan was angry at his lack of drive.

Kawaki nodded in agreement. Truly worthy of being the tough one who dared to face Obito alone.

Before he could praise her, he saw Konan put on an ingratiating smile.

"Teacher, I can't take a beating. Go easy on me."

Kawaki was a bit confused for a moment. Who did Konan learn this face - changing from?

"Take this sword strike."

Taking advantage of Kawaki's momentary distraction, a paper sword appeared in Konan's hand.

With a flash, she disappeared from the spot. Kawaki's clone didn't dodge and raised his hand to block.

Bang!!

Konan's paper sword collided with Kawaki's hand, causing a violent explosion.

She had combined the Explosive Tag with her Paper Release[b]Paper Release[/b], which was a bit like the Exploding Blade, Flying Droplets.

This was also thanks to the swordsmanship taught by Kawaki. Otherwise, she wouldn't have much close - combat ability.

The corner of Kawaki's real body's mouth twitched slightly. Konan's surprise attack was quite impressive.

He used a body - flicker technique to leave the spot and watched the battle in the arena.

Yahiko also seized the opportunity at this time and formed Hand Seals with both hands.

A huge water dragon rushed towards Kawaki's clone.

Judging from the size of the water dragon, his chakra had also made great progress compared to last time.

"Your cooperation is quite good."

The clone blocked Konan's explosive attack, but there was also a wound on his arm.

He raised his right foot and kicked at Konan, forcing her back.

Then he used a Lightning Release[b]Lightning Release[/b] to directly smash the water dragon.

Yahiko and Konan were attacking from the left and right.

The clone was not panicked at all. He covered his whole body with lightning - attribute Chakra.

Fighting one against two, he had no pressure at all.

Yahiko and Konan's Taijutsu was okay, but it didn't have much effect on the clone.

He himself was a close - combat fighter. This level of these children was too easy.

"You should have changed the chop to a slice just now."

"Your kick should have been a bit higher."

...

While fighting with the two of them, the clone also pointed out their deficiencies.

When Kawaki taught seriously, he still looked a bit like a teacher.

"At this level, you can't win, though."

Kawaki found the two's flaws and punched and kicked the two young ones away.

"You need to cooperate more tacitly."

After Yahiko and Konan landed, they glanced at each other, and their competitive spirit was also aroused.

Wings rose behind Konan, and Yahiko also further distanced himself from Kawaki.

"It's getting interesting."

The clone smiled and took the initiative to attack.

In Konan's eyes, the clone disappeared from sight in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Yahiko.

"Be careful."

She exclaimed, and a paper spear appeared in her hand.

She forcefully threw it at the clone.

Water Release, Water Formation Wall[b]Water Release, Water Formation Wall[/b]

Yahiko had no time to dodge. In a hurry, he could only erect a defense.

The shadow clone kicked the Water Formation Wall[b]Water Formation Wall[/b] to pieces with one foot, and Konan's spear was already in front of him.

Yahiko dodged and narrowly escaped.

The spear exploded the moment it hit the land, with much more power than the explosion on the sword.

Looking at the huge crater on the ground, with the strength of the shadow clone, it wouldn't be a good idea to take the attack head - on.

After landing and standing firm, a bolt of lightning shot from the shadow clone's palm towards Konan.

She transformed her body into small pieces of paper, and the lightning didn't cause any harm to her.

By the time the pieces of paper gathered again, she was already beside Yahiko.

It seemed that one person couldn't handle Kawaki's shadow clone.

"I'll go up and tie him down. You look for an opportunity."

Yahiko made a decision, took out a Kunai and rushed forward.

Konan flapped her wings and slowly rose into the air.

"Water Release[b]Water Release[/b], Water Blade Slash[b]Water Blade Slash[/b]."

Yahiko's Kunai was wrapped in water - attribute Chakra. He jumped high and attacked the shadow clone from above.

The shadow clone neither dodged nor parried. His right hand glowed brightly, and he punched Yahiko's Kunai.

"Now is the time."

Yahiko roared, and Konan quickly followed up.

The paper on her wings formed countless sharp stabs and attacked Kawaki.

"This is the opening for you."

The corner of the shadow clone's mouth curled up slightly, and the next moment, it disappeared in front of Yahiko.

Konan, who was performing a jutsu in the air, became a target and was kicked directly out of the air by the shadow clone.

"Ah~"

Konan let out a startled cry and crashed towards the ground.

"Konan."

Yahiko roared and rushed towards Konan's figure.

Just as he caught Konan in his arms, the two didn't have time to be happy.

Yahiko felt a huge force on his waist and was sent flying horizontally.

"If you're so gentle with a woman, can you ever go to the battlefield in the future?"

The shadow clone stopped and picked Konan up by the collar.

"Teacher, is Yahiko okay?"

Konan's feet were dangling in the air and flapped for a while.

"A couple of funny guys."

The shadow clone let go of Konan's collar, both amused and annoyed.

They were really naively cute. Maybe it was his own mistake.

Without the painful experiences in the original plot, they still lacked something.

But he kind of liked it this way.

After landing, Konan ran towards Yahiko and lovingly helped him up.

"Yahiko, are you okay?"

"It's fine. The teacher went easy on us."

Yahiko touched his waist, endured the pain and forced a smile at Konan.

Bang!!

The shadow clone disappeared, and Kawaki walked towards the two from outside the field.

"What am I supposed to say about you two?"

"Your strength is okay, but your ability to adapt is lacking."

"If it had been an enemy just now. When you went to save Konan, you both would have died."

Kawaki shook his head. He couldn't say he was satisfied with their performance, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Yahiko saving Konan either.

"I was just worried."

Yahiko scratched his head and awkwardly replied.

"A single kick wouldn't have killed her, but look at you."

"Are you trying to save someone or send yourself to your death?"

Kawaki was frustrated with their failure to live up to expectations. It seemed his plan needed adjustment.

Training behind closed doors in Konoha and lacking actual combat experience was definitely not okay. 

"Teacher, I didn't react in time."

"I didn't hold back a third of my strength in my attack."

Konan also admitted her mistake. She had attacked with all her might just now. Otherwise, she would still have had a chance to dodge the clone's attack.

"It's not a criticism session. It's good that you know your mistake."

"Yahiko, what will you do if you encounter such a situation again?"

Kawaki looked at Yahiko seriously and asked.

"I... I'll still save Konan."

Yahiko's voice faded away at the end. He wasn't lying.

This was the most sincere thought in his heart.

"Haha, good."

"Then punish Konan to carry you back."

Kawaki was both angry and amused. It was very likely that Yahiko was a lost cause.

There were so many lovestruck people around him. Truly, like teacher, like student.

"That's not very appropriate."

Konan blushed shyly and fidgeted with the corner of her dress.

"Teacher..."

Just as Yahiko was about to speak, Kawaki interrupted him directly.

"What, are you not happy about it?"

"Hurry up."

Kawaki roared, scaring Konan into giving Yahiko a princess-style carry.

"Haha, this pose looks good."

Some irresponsible teacher disappeared from the sight of the two.

"Teacher~"

The two young ones were on the verge of tears but didn't dare to shirk.

Konan carried Yahiko and walked step by step towards the Hatake family.

The air seemed to fall silent.
