The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

"bingo!"

A wisp of flame appeared in Asuma's mouth.

The next moment, the flames spread rapidly along with the soot.

It swept up all the cigarette ash in an instant.

An eruption, a burning.

Asma stared intently ahead.

Kisame Hoshigaki lay flat on the ground, his breathing somewhat unsteady, looking rather disheveled, as if he had suffered a severe injury.

Asma's face lit up with even greater joy.

"Chance!"

Asuma hesitated for only a moment before gripping his chakra sword tightly again and charging towards Kisame's location, concentrating his chakra on the sword.

"Kisame Hoshigaki, die!"

Asma became excited.

Asuma had already witnessed Kisame Hoshigaki's strength.

She is definitely one of the best among her peers.

Furthermore, he possesses a special ninja sword.

If I could kill such a Hidden Mist ninja, then I could definitely prove myself.

You will gain the approval of everyone.

“Father, elder brother, Kakashi, everyone in Konoha, you all need to see this clearly. I, Asuma, am not just someone you compare me to.”

"I am strong!"

“I am not in anyone else’s shadow.”

"I am who I am!"

"I am Asuma!"

However, just as Asuma was about to rush in front of Kisame Hoshigaki.

Kisame Hoshigaki, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up.

seal.

"Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"

A water sphere appeared next to Asuma, instantly enveloping him.

Asuma's eyes widened, an expression of disbelief on his face, as he struggled desperately.

But how could the water prison technique be so easily broken?

This is a binding water-style ninjutsu that even Kakashi, an elite Jonin, couldn't break free from when trapped in Zabuza's Water Prison Technique in the original story.

Kisame Hoshigaki's current strength is not as great as Zabuza's back then.

But Asuma now is far inferior to Kakashi back then.

Kisame Hoshigaki gripped Kiriichimonji tightly with his other hand and stabbed it at Asuma.

Sudden.

A flash of lightning.

Chapter 34 Everyone thinks I'm weaker than Kakashi

"boom!"

Asuma's body fell down.

Water was scattered all around.

Asuma's hair and clothes were completely soaked, making him look quite disheveled.

"Kakashi Hatake!"

Kisame Hoshigaki frowned slightly as he looked at Kakashi, who had suddenly appeared.

The previous battles were three against three.

A Hidden Mist Anbu ninja versus an ordinary Konoha ninja.

Kisame Hoshigaki versus Asuma Sarutobi.

Zabuza versus Kakashi.

Now that Kakashi has arrived as reinforcements, it means that Zabuza has been defeated in his battle with Kakashi.

"That brat lost."

Kisame Hoshigaki didn't look too good.

Kisame Hoshigaki disliked Zabuza, but when facing Konoha ninjas, Kisame hoped that his own people would win.

Not far away, a Konoha ANBU ninja hidden in the shadows breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Kakashi's appearance.

He sheathed the shuriken he was about to throw and glanced at Asuma.

"Asuma is indeed far inferior to Shinnosuke-sama."

"Back then, Shinnosuke-sama was much stronger at that age."

"And it's not just about strength."

"Asma's judgment of the situation and his mindset are still lacking."

After that, the ANBU ninjas' gaze shifted to Kakashi.

"Kakashi, as expected of the son of Konoha's White Fang."

Konoha Shirogatari is a figure of mixed reputation in Konoha.

For the past few decades, Konoha has been home to many talented and powerful swordsmanship-wielding ninjas.

In that era, the ninja swordsmen of Kirigakure were completely overshadowed by Konoha's White Fang.

The legendary Sannin of Konoha were just juniors.

He even received the Hokage's half-sleeve.

However, after the incident involving the mission and his comrades, Konoha's reputation plummeted.

He went directly from being a hero of the village to a sinner.

He had no choice but to commit suicide to atone for his sins.

The Anbu ninjas were unaware of Konoha's wrongdoings, but they acknowledged Konoha's strength.

"This is a true genius."

"No wonder the Hokage values ​​Kakashi so much."

"However, having abandoned swordsmanship and chosen Lightning Release, can Kakashi reach the level of the White Fang of Konoha back then?"

Kakashi glanced at Asuma.

"Are you okay?"

Kakashi is still in a state of withdrawal due to his father's death.

Asma's condition is very bad.

However, at this moment, Asuma forcibly suppressed his expression of relief at surviving the ordeal and shook his head.

"Kakashi, I'm fine."

There was a sound of rapid footsteps.

Kisame Hoshigaki turned around and saw Zabuza staggering out of the forest.

"Feel sorry."

Upon seeing Kisame Hoshigaki, Zabuza instinctively lowered his head.

In a one-on-one duel, Zabuza not only lost, but also affected Kisame's side. For Zabuza, this was already considered a mission failure.

Zabuza stopped a short distance from Kisame Hoshigaki and looked at Kakashi.

"That guy is very strong."

"Speed, power, skill, and strategy have no weaknesses."

"Especially lightning release."

As a genius of Kirigakure, Zabuza never thought he was weaker than Kakashi.

Kakashi's fame in the ninja world is greater than his actual reputation simply because he was born in Konoha, went to the battlefield at a young age, and had a powerful father.

This battle is my chance to prove myself.

Become famous in one battle.

Like countless predecessors.

For ninjas, becoming famous often boils down to a single battle.

Just like the three legendary Sannin of Konoha.

A three-on-one battle against Hanzo of the Salamander, who holds the title of demigod in the ninja world, as he besieges Amegakure.

He gained the approval of Hanzo the Salamander.

Become famous overnight.

Kakashi already had a reputation in the ninja world.

If I can defeat Kakashi one-on-one, I can become famous by stepping on Kakashi.

However, after actually fighting him, Zabuza realized that there was a reason why so many people respected Kakashi.

Kakashi is very strong.
