The blind swordsman selling pots in Konoha

The battle was over, but the four people watching the show were lost in thought.

Everyone has their own thoughts, and the four people's concerns are completely different.

For example, Hong, who was gathering chakra into her palms at the moment, seemed to want to try to condense the chakra into a weapon.

But she gave up after only one try.

It's really far away from success.

Kai and Asuma frowned and didn't know what they were thinking.

Kakashi turned his attention to the crown of another tree, where there was also a person.

"I'm afraid what happened today will be a huge blow to Sasuke, right? And twice in a row."

Asuma followed Kakashi's gaze and said.

Kakashi rubbed his eyebrows, seeming to have a headache.

"I'll go over and take a look, you guys go back first."

Kakashi was about to leave when there was a sudden rustling in the tree canopy over there, and then Sasuke jumped down, taking three steps and two steps, and landed in front of Shaz.

Kakashi's eyes narrowed, and he quickly appeared and jumped into the field.

At this time, Shaz had just withdrawn his sword. He had been careless once, and he didn't want to do it again.

Shaz was not surprised by the appearance of Kakashi and Sasuke, but Sasuke's eyes surprised Shaz.

"Great eyes." Shaz praised, "What's the matter? If it's because of what this guy did before, I can apologize to you. It was my negligence."

The fat fox lying on the ground rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"No need." Sasuke shook his head: "I had been attacking him before, and then... awakening these eyes consumed too much chakra."

Shaz was stunned for a moment and looked down at Fatty.

Fatty turned his head...but Shaz didn't apologize, or even say a nice word.

What Shaz was thinking was: He'd been beaten, and if this was an apology, wouldn't Fatty's beating be in vain?

So for the sake of Fatty, Shaz chose not to apologize!

"Are you here to show me your new eyes? They are indeed beautiful."

Sasuke shook his head again.

"No, I'm here to... challenge you with this new power!"

Shaz was a little surprised, and Kakashi was also surprised.

The word challenge is usually used when the weak versus the strong.

"You are stronger, Sasuke." Shaz smiled slightly: "I mean you are stronger inside."

Sasuke frowned, as if he didn't understand.

"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked.

"I mean your heart." Shaz put away the knife: "Acknowledging and accepting that you are still weak now is a sign of inner strength, and in the long run, inner strength is more valuable than physical strength."

Kakashi glanced at Shaz in surprise, and suddenly showed a look of relief.

Sasuke was still frowning. He couldn't quite understand this now. On the contrary, Shaz's action of sheathing the knife made him feel blocked.

"Are you trying to say that you don't want to accept my challenge?" Sasuke asked.

"No." Shaz shook his head: "Just not now."

Sasuke was even more confused: "Why?"

"Because you are not familiar with your new eyes yet, and your new eyes... will become blind if you use them too often."

Sasuke: ! ! !

"What do you know! How do you know it? Did... that man tell you?"

At first, Sasuke was so excited that he even wanted to attack Shaz.

But after talking about it, he calmed down. In response to Shaz's evaluation of him just now, his heart became stronger.

"I have my intelligence source and it has nothing to do with anyone. Don't worry about that."

Shaz smiled kindly.

"If you want to challenge me, you might as well go back and familiarize yourself with the ability of the Mangekyō Sharingan, but try not to use the pupil technique indiscriminately, otherwise you will really go blind."

"It's best...cancel it now...Of course, the eyes are your own. If you insist on maintaining the kaleidoscope state, you are free to do so."

Sasuke and Kakashi frowned at the same time, but it was obvious that they were thinking about completely different issues.

Sasuke hesitated and deactivated the Mangekyo.

I didn't feel anything before, but as soon as it was relieved, my eyes suddenly felt dry and uncomfortable.

"Don't rub it, just wait for it to recover on its own, or... you can also buy some eye drops or medicine for improving eyesight," Shaz suggested.

Sasuke nodded, closing his eyes and slowly waiting for it to recover.

Although he had more questions in his mind, he didn't want to ask now, at least until they were alone.

On the contrary, Kakashi on the side took a step forward after seeing them finish talking.

"You just said that the source of your information did not come from anyone, which means that all the information was obtained by yourself?" Kakashi asked.

Shaz nodded.

"You also know how to predict things, right?"

Shaz nodded again: "Not only can it be done, but it's much stronger than that big toad."

Kakashi suddenly understood, and everything made sense.

"Then your eyes..."

Shaz nodded again.

"As you can imagine, I was too young when I awakened this ability. It was at the time when I didn't know what the world was and how playful I was."

“I suddenly got a new toy and saw so many interesting things, so naturally I was greedy and wanted to see more.”

"The result...backfired."

Shaz shrugged, signaling that was it.

Sasuke's heart moved and he opened his mouth, but held it back.

The fat raccoon on the ground also raised his head and looked at Shaz with a complicated expression.

But Kakashi frowned.

"Then why did you deliberately make us think that your eyes were blinded before? Why did you suddenly tell us the truth now?" Kakashi asked.

Shaz suddenly opened his hands and spun around.

"As you can see, my strength has made a qualitative leap."

"You also know that I am a timid person. I will tell the truth as much as I have strength."

How much truth you tell is directly proportional to your strength. This is the first time Kakashi has heard this statement.

But when I thought that it was Shaz who said this, everything seemed so reasonable and reasonable, and it was impossible to find anything wrong with it.

It was both unreasonable and expected. It was indeed the most absurd thing that Shaz could say.

"In other words, do you think you are strong enough now?"

Kakashi narrowed his eyes and stared at Shaz, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It's not that strong. It's just that I have the confidence to be evenly matched with the ninjas of Konoha...except for the first, second and fourth generations who were reincarnated and resurrected by the dirty land."

Kakashi's eyes twitched.

You have completely missed the third generation Hokage who is still alive. Is the third generation Hokage so unpopular in your heart?

Just when Kakashi was speechless, Shaz suddenly smiled strangely.

"By the way, to be on the safe side, you, the unstable factor, must also be excluded." Shaz said.

"Oh why?"

Kakashi is confused, is he stronger than the Third Generation? Then why don’t I know?

"Because you have the same eyes as Sasuke, and... your abilities are very troublesome for me."

When Sasuke heard this, he immediately opened his eyes and met Kakashi's eyes.
