Chapter 587: Witness
— A shadow clone? Su Xiao quickly landed and looked around. In his perception, the three-headed dog was clearly a living being, but the moment the blade of his sword chopped off three heads, he felt something strange.
*Ar-r-r!*
A roar came from under his feet, and the dog's head tore through the ground, wanting to bite off Su Xiao's leg.
— Earth Element: Earth Core Shift, " Kakashi slapped the ground nearby, and an earthen pillar began to rise very quickly under one of Su Xiao's feet.
It appeared too suddenly and began to grow at an incredible rate, causing Su Xiao's position to become unstable.
The dog's head closed with a loud crack, but only managed to bite the hard energy shield.
The dragon flash immediately spun in Su Xiao's hands...
*Z-z-z-z-z~*
Kakashi, seeing this, immediately rushed forward with lightning bolts in his hand.
Su Xiao formed a 150 mana energy shield in front of him and struck the ground to his left.
Most of the sword's blade sank into the ground and there was a muffled groan.
Su Xiao immediately gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands and twisted it. Qing Gang Yin's energy was already raging on the surface of the Dragon Flash blade, and a moment later, two screams rang out from the ground.
More than a dozen spikes quickly formed on the sword's blade and flew out in all directions, and the voice underground abruptly stopped.
Pulling the bloody sword out of the ground, Su Xiao looked at Kakashi in front of him.
At this moment, Kakashi was about a meter away from him, but his palms were pressed against the energy shield.
After removing that shield, Su Xiao immediately slashed at Kakashi with his sword.
But just like Guy, Kakashi's physique certainly wasn't weak — he quickly jumped back to avoid the blow.
The long blade slid across the tip of Kakashi's nose, and the Qing Gang Yin energy burned his nose with intense pain.
Kakashi's expression wasn't very pretty. He decided to get close to Su Xiao in order to save Tsume Inuzuki, but not only did he fail to do so, but he was now forced to dodge his attacks as well.
Kakashi wasn't strong enough, but he could still dodge Su Xiao's attacks. Tsume Inuzuki, on the other hand, was only thinking of revenge and didn't think at all that Su Xiao might be stronger than her.
In the end, she realized too late that her enemy was much stronger than her.
Tsume Inuzuki had paid the price for her recklessness and died in the ground under Su Xiao's feet, unable to even injure him, and now it was Kakashi's turn.
He kept retreating and trying to dodge Su Xiao's attacks. With each step he took, he was getting more and more covered in cold sweat.
*Ding-ding-ding...*
Dragon Flash once again collided with Kakashi's kunai, and with each such collision, Kakashi's kunai was left with obvious grooves, but he managed to block ten of Su Xiao's attacks, which surprised him greatly.
— Then let's speed up, " and Su Xiao's speed suddenly doubled, reaching a blinding level, causing the pressure on Kakashi to increase dramatically.
Within seconds, Kakashi's green vest was cut into pieces, and jagged sword marks appeared on his chest.
After leaving a few more serious wounds on Kakashi's body, Su Xiao felt that something was wrong. Kakashi was clearly in a bad situation, but that was basically it.
This was very different from what happened last time.
Su Xiao looked closely at Kakashi and suddenly found that the blood vessels on his face were very swollen, and the flow of chakra in his body was extremely fast, as if he had removed all the restrictions from his body.
— This... The gate? Su Xiao finally understood why Kakashi could fight him for so long.
Kakashi had already opened the second gate out of eight, which was the limit of his ability.
Considering the relationship between Kakashi and Guy, Su Xiao wasn't surprised that he was able to open the second gate.
But even though he had opened the second gate, Kakashi's melee abilities were still inferior to Su Xiao's.
Su Xiao immediately moved to the side and the sword was placed over his head, then it came down in the blink of an eye.
Kakashi subconsciously pushed his kunai forward to block this attack.
With a loud clang the kunai was sliced open and the long blade slashed across Kakashi.
*Pouf*
Blood fell to the ground. The blade first pierced through his cheek, then began to go down sharply and stopped only on the lower part of his stomach.
From his position, Su Xiao could even see his beating heart.
Qing Gang Yin's energy immediately spread through Kakashi's body...
Of course, Su Xiao wouldn't miss this opportunity and decided to finish him off.
But at this moment, a strong sense of danger enveloped him all over.
*BOOM!*
The remaining piece of kunai in Kakashi's hand suddenly exploded, and the flames along with the pieces of kunai hit Su Xiao. Although he managed to put up a shield at the last moment, a part of the kunai and the main force of the explosion sent him flying away.
When the dust settled, Kakashi saw that Su Xiao's hand was bleeding — a solid piece of kunai was sticking out right in his hand.
Kakashi himself lost one of his arms, and half of his face was covered in burns..
If Su Xiao hadn't managed to put up the shield at the last second, he would have been seriously injured, if not killed.
Kakashi had wrapped the explosive talisman around the hilt of his kunai beforehand. After Su Xiao seriously injured him, he realized that he already had one foot in the grave, so he activated the explosive talisman without a doubt.
And this explosive talisman wasn't ordinary. It was designed by the second Hokage, and it was about five times more powerful than normal explosive talismans. In Konoha, few Jounins could obtain such talismans.
— Ha~... Kakashi spat out a mouthful of blood. "Let's go to hell together," Kakashi looked at Su Xiao and a smile appeared on his bloodied face.
Su Xiao's pupils narrowed as he felt a strange aura beneath him.
Kakashi's remaining hand pressed down on the ground and started shooting lightning bolts into the ground. This technique of his was still under development. It consumed a huge amount of chakra, and if he had his sharingan, he wouldn't be able to use this ninjutsu in battle.
— Kakashi! a hoarse cry came from the distance, and Kakashi, who was about to die with his enemy, stopped when he heard that familiar voice, because that voice belonged to Naruto.
*A CLANG!*
The blade of the sword flashed and Kakashi froze.
Su Xiao looked at the ground under his feet. Since Kakashi's ninjutsu wasn't as fast as his sword could be, he ended up winning this fight.
Kakashi's body hit the ground with a thud, and his head rolled to the side.
He died instantly.
Without any notification, a pale gold treasure chest appeared beside his body.
Su Xiao stepped forward and picked up the chest, then put it away and pulled out the kunai fragment from his hand.
Naruto froze in place. His pupils were dilated, as if he couldn't believe the scene.
— Kakashi ... Sensei?
