Hatake Tatsuya in Naruto

The Hatake swordsmanship, along with the improved version of the Lightning Style nature transformation on the katana, which both Kakashi and Uchiha Sasuke used in the future is the inheritance of the Hatake Clan.

This forms the basis of Hatake's fighting style.

Kakashi's future development of Raikiri is also heavily inspired by his father's techniques.

However, it differs from Chidori, which concentrates the destructive power of the Lightning Style solely in the hands.

Hatake Sakumo's Lightning Style is more akin to the Lightning Style Chakra Mode passed down from generation to generation by Cloud Shinobi Raikage, which can envelop the entire arm and blade.

The power is more intense, but it also consumes more Chakra.

"Tatsuya, watch out above!"

In the midst of his battle with Chiyo and Hatake, Hatake's attention shifted back to the high rocks behind Tatsuya's head, where a layer of sand clouds had formed. He shouted to alert his brother.

Tatsuya, who was observing the movements of the Sarutobi clan, heard his brother's warning.

With a composed expression, he raised his head and looked at the sand clouds blocking the sun.

"During the war, you will die if you don't pay attention to your surroundings."

The upper Half of the body of Shukaku emerged from the sand dunes, and he spoke indifferently.

The surrounding sand unleashed endless bullet-sized specks of sand, raining down like a storm.

Sand Bullets!

Tatsuya shifted his body slightly, evading Shukaku's attack with the smallest of movements. The expression on the blessing's face changed suddenly.

"What astonishing perception and body flexibility!"

"A sword lacking flexibility cannot become strong."

Tatsuya suddenly drew his katana and unleashed a flat-A backhand strike, creating a flying slash.

Puff--

The Sand body of Shukaku was sliced in half, along with the clout of sand floating above.

However, in the next second, Bunpuku's body also turned into sand and fell alongside the sand in the air.

"Sand Clone."

Tatsuya said calmly.

Immediately afterward, Tatsuya turned his wrist, causing the sword to unleash another sword slash. He instantly hit an eyeball floating in the air, hidden among the flying sand.

The cheating ninjutsu that Gaara and his father would use is the third eye!

"Found it!"

In a dark corner of the battlefield, Bunpuku covered his eyeball.

Although the third eye is damaged, it does not harm the body's eyes.

But the sharp sword just now caused a momentary pain in his spirit.

"Such powerful perception, I've never seen anything like it before. I need to keep a little distance from him; I got too close earlier."

Bunpuku thought to himself.

At this moment, he is 100% sure that Tatsuya is the Konoha Shinobi who tore through his own quicksand waterfall moments ago.

He didn't expect Konoha to have such a powerful swordsman in addition to White Fang. Originally, Bunpuku was a long-range combat ninja, and he was not foolish enough to confront a sword ninja up close.

Thinking of this, Bunpuku emerged from a dark corner of a rock, ready to quickly create distance before Tatsuya could chase after him.

"Um!?"

However, when Bunpuku, who was just about to retreat, looked at Tatsuya again, He was surprised to realize that the opponent was simply smiling at him, and then he turned his head to watch the battle elsewhere.

Tatsuya showed no intention of pursuing him at all.

What's going on?

If Banpaku was also a transmigrator, he seriously doubts whether Tatsuya is the Ninja version of Marine Admiral Kizaru.

Is it appropriate for him to be so openly uncompetitive?

Although the Jinchruki has not acted, other Sand Shinobi won't ignore the living target, Tatsuya.

Several Sand Shinobi swarmed up, surrounding Tatsuya from different directions, and launching a siege on him. The focus of Tatsuya's eyes shifted slightly, and the blade in his hand twisted half a circle, creating an arc in the void.

Puff--

Immediately afterward, the onlookers on the periphery only saw the four Sand Shinobi who had surrounded Tatsuya a second ago, now with their heads separated from their necks.

So strong!

This was the unanimous thought of everyone on the battlefield. It was as if another White Fang had appeared.

Soon after, Bunpuku noticed Tatsuya raising his head slightly and running toward the other side of the battlefield.

The old man's face, full of wrinkles, was taken aback for a moment.

I am standing not far away from you why do you keep looking that way?

Is it because he doesn't want the Kage-level battle to affect his own people, so he chooses to stay away from the main battlefield?

But there was no time to think so much. After all, the Kage-level battle between Sand Shinobi and Tatsuya was in full swing.

Chiyo was already struggling to resist White Fang.

The "Black Knife" can only be stopped by himself.

With this in mind, Bunpuku followed closely while maintaining a distance to avoid close combat with Tatsuya.

However, ten seconds later, it turned out to be completely different from what Bunpuku had predicted.

Tatsuya only ran a few hundred meters, not withdrawing from the central circle of the battlefield at all, and launched another attack.

With the black knife strengthened by the armed color in his hand, Tatsuya transformed into a black and white intersecting fast shadow.

With its penetrating power capable of piercing through anything, he struck like a meteor.

"!?"

Bunpuku's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly bowed his waist and slapped his palms on the ground.

!!!

A wall of sand rose suddenly from the ground.

However, the defense that Bunpuku hastily constructed sand wall didn't possess the same hardness as the previous shield of the Sand.

It can be said that Tatsuya's attack didn't feel any resistance as he penetrated the sand wall and pierced his entire shoulder with the blade.

Bunpuku endured the intense pain and quickly performed hand seals, crushing the stone ground under his feet into the sand.

He immediately transformed into the arm of the guard crane in an attempt to grab his opponent.

Finally, he barely evaded Tatsuya's next killer move.

"It's incredible; he suppressed the Jinchriki!"

A female ninja of the same age next to Sarutobi Shinnosuke exclaimed in astonishment. Her name is Sarutobi Rie, and she often acts with Sarutobi Shinnosuke. Everyone knows their relationship.

Meanwhile, Sarutobi Shinnosuke next to her swallowed his saliva, recalling how he had been manipulated by Danzo a few days ago and insulted Hatake Sakumo.

Now, seeing how these two brothers were fighting fiercely on the battlefield, he couldn't help but feel chills all over. However, this group of Sarutobi ninjas seems to have overlooked a problem.

That's the direction where Tatsuya and Bunpuku are battling.

It seems they are getting closer and closer to them.
