Victory

Chapter 11 Victory

Kakashi was drenched in sweat and panting heavily. Although he looked disheveled, he still held his sword in both hands, wary of Aburame Shiitsu.

In that brief moment, Kakashi used his Body Flicker Technique with all his might to escape the encirclement of Shiatsu Aburame's parasitic insects, but he was already at his limit.

The Body Flicker Technique had taken a toll on Kakashi's ego beyond his expectations, and he was now showing signs of exhaustion all over his body.

This is the terrible consequence of faulty intelligence; thankfully, it was a real combat exercise at the Ninja Academy.

On the battlefield, that would already be a matter of life and death.

"Kakashi-kun underestimates me. I have a lot of control over insects."

Yu Nu Zhiyi said with a smile, demonstrating her control over the parasites.

Of course, it wasn't just shown to Kakashi; there were others as well.

The Third Hokage observed this scene through his telescope and couldn't help but sigh, "A legend is about to emerge from the Aburame clan."

Aburame Shiki's performance elevated the Aburame clan's strength to a whole new level.

It has shown great potential even without using phosphorus-damaged insects. If we were to use them one day, wouldn't it be like dragons soaring into the sky?

The Third Hokage was delighted to see this, tapped his long pipe, and smiled kindly.

On the one hand, this proves that under his leadership, Konoha is thriving, and even small ninja clans like the Aburame clan have made great progress.

On the other hand, Shiki Aburame is Minato Namikaze's teammate from the same period and will be the next head of the Aburame clan.

If Minato Namikaze works hard, the Aburame clan will become his supporters.

Of course, another reason is that the Aburame clan is a mid-level ninja clan with relatively weak power.

Even if someone like Shiatsu Aburame were to emerge, he wouldn't be able to threaten the Third Hokage's rule.

Otherwise, try replacing them with the Uchiha clan. They would either be infused with the Will of Fire by the Third Hokage, or be secretly harmed by Danzo Shimura.

Kakashi didn't refute Aburame Shiatsu's words. Intelligence is an important part of ninja battles, and gathering and deception are normal.

Kakashi gathered the wrong information and made the wrong decision, which led to the current situation, and there's nothing more to say about it.

Kakashi gasped for breath, then, without resting any longer, used the last bit of chakra he had left to desperately squeeze out as much as he could before charging toward Shiatsu Aburame.

Kakashi's decision was correct; continuing to rest would likely have led to a period of fatigue.

Once you enter a period of fatigue, you won't have the energy to muster, and you'll be like a lamb to the slaughter. You might as well take advantage of the little strength you still have and go all out.

Aburame Shiki watched as Kakashi charged toward him, which suited him perfectly.

Yu Nu Zhiyi gathered a group of parasitic insects together, forming a huge swarm.

The next moment, the swarm of parasitic insects went berserk, crashing down on Kakashi like a dark cloud pressing down on a city.

The assimilated parasites are completely under the control of Shiichi Aburame, and this is not just a matter of giving orders like an extension of one's own arm.

It can also stimulate the vitality of parasites, allowing them to unleash powerful energy in a short period of time.

Although it may deplete the life force of the parasite and cause it to die in a short period of time, the parasite's strength during that short period is undeniable.

Kakashi gritted his teeth, desperately squeezing out the last of his chakra, remembering Sakumo Hatake's teachings.

For the past three days, Kakashi has been learning the Slash Wave from Sakumo Hatake, but the Slash Wave is too difficult, and Kakashi has not yet mastered it.

But now Kakashi had no other choice. Fueled by determination and the crisis, he used this move.

"Watch out, I might lose control of the power next."

Kakashi shouted a warning, then held his sword with both hands and unleashed an invisible chakra strike.

A slashing wave shot out, cutting through the swarm of parasitic insects, but the swarm of insects was not disturbed and continued to rush towards Kakashi.

Kakashi was covered in a moment.

Kakashi's slashing wave rapidly approached Shiki Aburame.

Aburame Shiki only became truly serious after seeing the slash wave unleashed by Kakashi.

"Secret Technique: Insect Wall Technique"

Aburame Shiki determined that he could block it, so he activated the life force of the surrounding parasitic insects and used the secret technique, Insect Wall Technique.

At this moment, two ANBU appeared. One of them rescued Kakashi, who was covered in parasitic insects.

The other life was fixed on Aburame Shiki, ready to save him at any moment should he be in danger of dying.

The slashing wave struck the Insect Wall spell, unleashing a powerful impact. The Insect Wall spell trembled slightly but eventually stabilized.

After a brief stalemate, the slashing wave still failed to break through the insect wall technique.

With his hands in his pockets and his entire body covered by his clothes, Aburame Shiki looked very mysterious.

The entire venue was completely silent.

Both Kakashi's slashing wave and Shiatsu Aburame's parasitic insects clearly told the teachers and students of the Ninja Academy that these two guys were absolute monsters.

Whether it's ninjutsu, taijutsu, or combat instincts, they are all in a class of their own, and there's no way they can compete with them.

The deep scratches on the ground and the parasitic insects guarding Aburame Shiki's side all demonstrated their strength.

"Wow, they're amazing. Are they still students at the Ninja Academy?"

"They're almost real ninjas now."

"Kakashi is so cool, even when he's defeated he's still so cool."

After being stunned by the strength of Shiatsu Aburame and Kakashi, the students below immediately started chattering amongst themselves.

Obito Uchiha was dumbfounded; Kakashi was that strong.

Seeing the worried look in Rin's eyes as she looked at Kakashi, Obito gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"I will definitely defeat Kakashi and make Rin look at me with new eyes."

Genma Shiranui and Hayate Gekko sighed:

"Shiichi Aburame is indeed very strong."

Kakashi was not injured because Shiitsu Aburame did not use the parasitic insects to attack him; he simply covered him up.

Therefore, Kakashi was simply exhausted after using up all his chakra.

Kakashi recalled the scene of his slashing wave fighting against the insect wall technique, and felt a little unwilling.

However, Kakashi had already reached his limit by using the Slash Wave, and he wasn't sure if he could use it again next time.

Yoshino Taiga then realized what was happening and announced, "Aburame Shiatsu wins."

Yoshino Taiga recalled Aburame Shiatsu and Kakashi's performance and couldn't help but feel alarmed.

He might not be able to win against Shiatsu Aburame or Kakashi.

Whether it was the ferocious parasitic insects or the slashing waves, both made Yoshino Taiga understand what a true genius was.

Kakashi, seeing Shiatsu Aburame's effortless demeanor, said:

"I'll catch up with you soon, Zhiyi!"

"I will also strive to move forward, Kakashi."

Aburame Shiki answered.

But you might not be able to keep up with my speed.

Although he thought this way in his heart, Shiki Aburame still seriously reviewed his fight with Kakashi and realized his shortcomings.

The parasitic insects were too weak and were powerless against powerful ninjas.

"We need to obtain interstitial cells to enhance the parasites as soon as possible."
