Furious, Kakashi didn't lose his composure. He knew the truth, just as Denin Village's leader, Kaede, had said: he wasn't as fast. Running would only lead to a more gruesome end!
"Run? Why would I run after killing you?"
Kakashi sneered and swung his sword at Denin Village's leader, Kaede!
"Demonic Fake Lightning Slash!"
This time, as he used the Lightning Slash, Kakashi added the word "Fake" to the technique's name in his mind. He felt that if it wasn't performed using a Hatake Clan secret technique, it couldn't be considered a Lightning Slash, hence the addition of "Fake"!
"Hmph!"
Facing Kakashi's attack, Denin Village's leader, Kaede, merely snorted, not intimidated by Kakashi's aura at all. However, Kaede still chose to dodge!
Whoosh!
Just a flash, and Kaede's figure had already dodged. Seeing this, Kakashi didn't follow up with any subsequent attacks of the Demonic Fake Lightning Slash, stopping his movements. Kaede's speed was simply too fast; his speed with the Demonic Fake Lightning Slash wouldn't allow him to hit the other person!
Unless he used the real Hatake Three Swords, but Kakashi wouldn't rashly use the Hatake Three Swords unless it was a critical moment!
"At this speed, you dare to play with swords against me!"
Kaede, appearing in the distance, looked at Kakashi with disdain and a cold laugh, then drew the Tachi (Long Sword) from behind his back. The blade was more refined and shorter than the one in Kakashi's hand, emitting a bloodthirsty cold light!
"Hurricane Body!"
Then, Kaede made hand seals with both hands and shouted, and gusts of hurricane swirled around his body.
"Wind Style Body Technique!"
Kakashi's heart tightened as he saw this, immediately understanding that the ninjutsu Kaede was using was a type of ninjutsu similar to the Raikage's Lightning Release Armor, or rather, this was the other person's Kekkei Genkai!
Swoosh!
Then, Kaede disappeared with the Tachi in his hand. Kakashi, because he possessed the Sharingan, could barely see the traces of his movements, and even those were blurry, showing how fast he was!
Kakashi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly turned his blade to block behind him!
Clang!
Kaede's attack was just blocked by Kakashi. Lightning flashed, and Kaede's eyes couldn't help but tremble slightly. He didn't expect his attack to be blocked by Kakashi, worthy of being an Anbu member of Konoha!
Kakashi's eyes hardened, and he counterattacked!
"Fake Instant Cut: Double!"
Swoosh!
However, as the blade flashed, Kaede's figure vanished from Kakashi's sight once more!
He immediately reappeared beside Kakashi, continuing to slash at him!
Clang!
But this time was the same. Kaede's attack was blocked by Kakashi. After blocking, Kakashi counterattacked again, but Kaede's speed was too fast, and Kakashi's counterattack was still ineffective!
"After using the bloodline limit, the attack is still at the level of a regular Jonin, but the speed is even faster than an Elite Jonin!"
Kakashi was calmly analyzing Kaede's abilities in his mind while fighting him!
"I can only be on the defensive, and my counterattacks are useless against him. Damn it, I'm screwed!"
After analyzing Kaede's abilities and understanding his own situation, Kakashi couldn't help but curse inwardly again!
"Haha! Good! Good! You're the first to completely block my attacks after I used 'Hurricane Body'!"
"But it's all useless. It's just delaying your death. You won't last long. I'll make you die slowly, in despair!"
While continuously attacking Kakashi, Kaede was also surprised by Kakashi's strength, but he sneered even more. He was confident he could wear Kakashi down to death. Many ninjas stronger than him had been worn down to death by him!
Chh chh chh chh!
Clang clang clang clang!
The fight between the two continued. Kaede's figure seemed to disappear on the battlefield, only appearing as a black shadow each time he attacked Kakashi!
His speed was extremely fast, so fast that the human eye couldn't track Kaede's movements!
However, in this kind of battle, Kakashi could always swing his sword to block Kaede's attacks. Occasionally, he would seize the opportunity to strike back. Kakashi stood there, as if he had become a rock in the waves, unwavering despite the impact of the huge waves!
Pfft!
However, as time passed, Kakashi finally couldn't defend against Kaede's attacks. First, his arm was cut by Kaede's blade, and then within five minutes, Kakashi had more than a dozen wounds of varying sizes on his body. Although they were all just flesh wounds, not fatal, they still left Kakashi covered in blood, looking extremely miserable!
"Haha!"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you all at once!"
"I'll take my time, and slash you to death, one cut at a time!"
While attacking Kakashi, Kaede kept laughing out loud, as if cruelly tormenting his enemy was a very enjoyable experience for him!
"Damn it!"
The pain all over his body had already made Kakashi furious. Hearing Kaede's mocking sneer, the anger in Kakashi's heart grew even greater. However, Kakashi forced himself to calm down. Only by calming down could he have a chance of survival. In this disadvantaged battle, losing his mind to anger would only lead to death!
"It's over!"
"Haha, since you're in so much pain, I'll put you out of your misery!"
"Wind Style: Hurricane Slash!"
Kaede watched Kakashi's disheveled state, his movements becoming sluggish. He couldn't help but laugh heartily, then slashed at Kakashi. A wisp of a hurricane actually condensed on the blade, making the sword's speed even faster and more fierce!
Shik!
An even more powerful and rapid attack immediately slashed towards Kakashi, causing his pupils to widen instantly!
Sometimes, crisis is opportunity. Facing Kaede's incredibly sharp attack, Kakashi was surprisingly calm, his Sharingan rapidly assessing the flaws in Kaede's move!
"Right here!"
In a flash, perhaps just a thousandth of a second, Kakashi saw the flaw in Kaede's move. He gripped the hilt of his Tachi tightly and resolutely unleashed Hatake Three Swords!
After being toyed with for so long, Kakashi finally found a chance to turn the tables!
"Fake Instant Cut: Double!"
