Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

In an empty training ground.

Wooden targets were placed at random locations on the branches, without any reason...

But without exception, the center of the target, a small red circle, had been completely penetrated at the very center.

So much so that you can see the color of the tree trunks behind.

"Swish, swish, swish! ——"

A young figure turned over and jumped up, ejecting several kunai from his sleeves and clasping them tightly between his fingers.

I just saw him dart through the air, swinging his elbows repeatedly at a unique angle.

The flying kunai pierced through the air and collided with each other. After a few crisp sounds, they pierced through the targets installed on the trees one after another...

The young man groaned and landed steadily.

"Itachi, it seems that your shuriken technique has reached perfection!"

A figure walked out from the darkness of the forest. It was Uchiha Shisui.

"No, I'm still far from Brother Shisui, and this is also because Brother Shisui taught me well..."

"Hahaha, you don't have to underestimate yourself, Itachi. Your strength is already good enough, and everything you can do now is all due to your own efforts.

"I think it might not be long before you graduate from Ninja School!"

Shisui patted Itachi's shoulder and spoke earnestly.

It's hard to imagine that the person in front of me is still a five-year-old child. Just this shuriken technique alone is not something that ordinary people can do!

Most importantly, he hasn't used his Sharingan yet.

"Graduating from Ninja School..."

Itachi muttered quietly.

But what does this mean?

Does it mean that I will be sent to the battlefield?

Send that...

My eyes flashed, and I seemed to be back to the scene I saw at that time.

The corpses were piled all over the ground...

Is that the final destination of ninja?

"I can attest to that. Ninja schools are allowed to make exceptions for talented ninjas. With Itachi's abilities, I'm afraid it won't take long."

A lazy voice came from the side.

Itachi looked up.

A young man with silver hair, with his hands folded over his chest, leaned lazily against the tree trunk.

And his eyes were on himself, looking at him carefully.

It's him......

The person I met by chance yesterday, Hatake Kakashi!

The word that should have come out of Kakashi's mouth was "talent", but when it came to his lips, Kakashi changed it to "ability" and "ability".

For a five-year-old boy to have come this far just by relying on his talent, that is too far-fetched...

Not to mention being called a 'genius'.

Kakashi knew that the so-called 'genius' required a lot of hard work behind the scenes.

For a successful flower, people only admire its present brightness...

"Kakashi-senpai!"

Upon seeing this figure, Shisui looked unsurprised and greeted him with a smile.

"You don't have to call me senior. I'm only a few years older than you."

Kakashi shrugged helplessly.

A 'younger generation' like you really puts a lot of pressure on the seniors...

The name 'Instant Body Still Water' is not undeserved.

Looking at the targets scattered randomly, and the kunai that pierced straight through the hearts of all of them.

Kakashi's eyes narrowed slightly.

This shuriken technique is terrifying!

Uchiha...Itachi?

Another genius from the Uchiha clan!

It can accurately hit targets around the body and even in blind spots behind rocks.

It can be seen that this uses the time difference of the kunai flying in the air, so that they can collide with each other, change their trajectories many times in the air, and hit the target in the blind spot...

This requires extremely demanding control of strength and precision!

Perhaps I should say I am ashamed of myself...

Fortunately, life and death on the battlefield are not determined by shuriken alone.

Shurikenjutsu is just the icing on the cake and cannot determine a ninja's actual combat level.

And that's why he came here...

"Itachi, just watch carefully over there, you'll have something to learn today."

"Brother Shisui, are you going to..."

Shisui untied the green mail armor on his upper body and threw it on the ground.

Is this a competition?

Glancing at the two people in the training ground, Itachi silently stepped aside.

The two people in front of me are the seniors who are now in the limelight of Konoha...

......

Looking at Shisui approaching step by step, Kakashi looked serious.

This was the 'competition' that had been agreed to earlier!

Even if his opponent is a junior who is a few years younger than him, Kakashi will never be disrespectful.

He could see a unique temperament in Shisui's eyes.

Beneath his easy-going and elegant appearance lies the arrogance of not wanting to be left behind.

That is the pride of a genius.

Or rather...competitiveness.

Unfortunately, he has it too!

"The art of instantaneous body!"

Shisui misstepped and disappeared on the spot.

Then came three attacks from different directions...

The instant body-flash technique?

Looking at the three Shisui who suddenly appeared in front of him, Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly.

The art of instant body movement still essentially falls under the category of physical skills. It uses high-speed movement that cannot be captured by the naked eye to get close to the enemy and launch an attack.

But the three shadows in front of me cannot be explained...

Is it an illusion? Or a shadow clone?

He knew that Shisui was famous for his teleportation ability, but teleportation ability should be mainly based on 'speed'.

Before the fight, I didn't expect the opponent's 'instant body' to be so special?

To be on the safe side, Kakashi finally decided to deal with it as a shadow clone.

He didn't dodge, but went forward to meet it.

There is nothing wrong with this response.

It can be used as an opportunity to test the opponent's entity and to find out the strengths and weaknesses of their moves.

However, just as Kakashi raised his hand to parry, a shadow quietly appeared under his feet...

Behind you!

And there’s a fourth one, Shisui!

......

"Strange, Kakashi-senpai... doesn't seem as strong as I thought."

Itachi whispered unconsciously as he looked at the two people in the field, his eyes full of confusion.

Konoha's 'Sharingan Kakashi' and 'Instant Body Shisui' are both very famous.

Logically speaking, even if the two sides are not evenly matched, there should be a give and take...

There shouldn't be a situation where there is almost suppression throughout the entire process.

In other words, the famous genius ninja Kakashi Hatake should never be at this level.

But the fact is that he was being beaten back by Shisui and could only passively defend...

Is it just that?

His taijutsu skills are terrible!

Itachi frowned.

It can even be called...stupid!

No, not just taijutsu.

As a bystander, Itachi could clearly see the flaws and irrationality in Kakashi's responses every time.

But these are problems that shouldn't arise...

The only explanation is that 'Sharingan Kakashi' is just a name!

But when I think about it this way, something doesn't seem right?

"You're just a kid with no experience. If it were you, you would probably be knocked down in less than two moves!"

He was so absorbed in watching the fight on the field that he didn't notice someone approaching.

It wasn't until a voice came from the side that Itachi looked over belatedly.

This is a strange woman, tall and beautiful, the type that would be extremely eye-catching even when walking on the street.

Of course Itachi didn't care about it.

I didn't ask silly questions like 'Who are you?'

In Konoha, there were many people who were strangers to him.

"I can't beat Shisui-nii because I know I'm not strong enough, but Hatake Kakashi... I don't think he should be at this level."

Itachi seemed unaware of the mocking tone in the other person's voice, as he continued to stare at the two people fighting.

As a jonin of Konoha, he was beaten by Shisui, who was still a chunin, in terms of physical skills...

There are even many obvious flaws and unnecessary movements.

This doesn't make sense, does it?

If all the jonin of Konoha were as good as the Hatake Kakashi in front of us, it would really be...

Especially when you think about the other party being the best among them.

"Heh! But your Shisui-nii is already cheating!"

Ye Cang curled his lips and sneered.

His eyes were fixed on the two people fighting in the field.

She could see the flaws in Kakashi's movements, and his responses were extremely awkward, which could be said to be fraught with danger.

However, these flaws, from what she understood, were totally inconsistent with Kakashi's skills!
