Haruki saw a dojo in the Naruto world for the first time.
In his past life, he had been to the Kendo club at university.
The venue was hardly different from what he saw at present.
There was a smooth, specially - made wooden floor. Students wore full - body protective gear and held wooden swords for a match.
Haruki and Kakashi came to the counter.
The young man at the counter sized the two of them up for a moment, reached a conclusion in his mind, and showed a formulaic smile.
"Are you here to enroll your son in the dojo?"
He looked at Haruki and ignored Kakashi, saying, "There are several charging standards for joining our dojo. If you want to become a disciple of the master instructor, you need to pay..."
A thud interrupted his sales pitch.
The three - or four - year - old kid had slammed a samurai sword almost as tall as him onto the counter.
While he was puzzled, Kakashi, expressionless, said as Haruki had taught him, "We're not here to learn Kendo. We're here for an exchange."
The young man was slightly taken aback.
Coming for an exchange is a refined way of saying it. Put bluntly, it's to disrupt the dojo's business.
But he wasn't afraid. Instead, he burst out laughing.
"Kid, this isn't the time to play. Stop fooling around."
The young man reached for the samurai sword but found it wouldn't budge.
His face changed slightly. He secretly exerted more force, but it was still useless.
"You..."
"I'm serious. Please inform someone."
Kakashi raised his eyes and said, looking slightly upwards.
The young man's attitude changed. Although he was just the gatekeeper, he had learned Kendo for several years.
"Wait a moment."
He turned around and left the counter.
A moment later, a middle - aged man appeared.
He glanced at Haruki and then at Kakashi, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Takayuki, your practice in these years has really been in vain. How could you be afraid of a little kid?"
Before his words faded.
Kakashi drew his samurai sword and attacked at an extremely fast speed.
There was a flash of white light. The middle - aged man didn't even see the trajectory of the sword, let alone react.
The next moment, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The cold steel blade was already at his neck.
Takayuki behind him was also stunned on the spot.
But then he was glad. Fortunately, he had been smart and hadn't done anything stupid.
"Do I have the qualification now?"
Kakashi retracted his long sword and asked coldly.
The middle - aged man wiped the sweat off his face and said with a forced smile, "I misjudged. Please come in."
This scene was seen by many people in the dojo. With Takayuki's announcement, it immediately became lively.
Those who could practice in the dojo all loved Kendo and had a certain rank.
Now that a genius teenager had come to challenge them, they all swarmed up.
Kakashi picked up a wooden sword and walked into the arena, asking, "Who wants to come?"
His tone was calm.
But it made the onlookers think of two words: arrogant.
"I'll come!"
A teenager who looked about seventeen or eighteen stepped forward.
Haruki mingled among the crowd unnoticed.
Someone volunteered to be the announcer.
"Kazuya Kanemoto, a fifth - dan in Kendo, is the strongest among the young generation in the dojo."
But Haruki took one look and knew he was no match for Kakashi.
His Kendo skills were decent, but his experience was lacking, and he had almost no Chakra.
In Haruki's view, the samurai in the Naruto world were not just simple samurai; they were more like Taijutsu masters.
They possessed swordsmanship and could use Chakra appropriately, somewhat similar to the Hyuga clan.
After the two on the field bowed to each other, Kakashi rushed forward quickly and made a simple horizontal slash with his long sword.
Kazuya Kanemoto didn't have time to dodge and barely managed to raise his wooden sword.
Instantly, a powerful force gushed out.
The wooden sword in his hand broke, and his body flew up.
One - hit KO!
The dojo fell silent as if someone had hit the mute button.
After a moment, Kazuya Kanemoto struggled to his feet.
He had been a genius since childhood and was the strongest among the young generation, but today he had lost miserably.
"Step down."
A deep voice made Kazuya Kanemoto stop in his tracks.
He turned around, bowed, and shouted, "Teacher."
The person who came was in his early forties, with his muscles tensed, exuding a sense of power.
"It's the grand master, Masahiko Hiraoka, an eighth - dan in Kendo!" someone immediately shouted, "That kid is definitely going to lose!"
Masahiko Hiraoka picked up a wooden sword and walked onto the field.
Kakashi immediately looked solemn. He could tell that Masahiko Hiraoka was a hundred times stronger than the previous kid, and the pressure he felt from him had exceeded that of an ordinary Chunin.
"What's your name? Who's your teacher?"
Masahiko Hiraoka didn't attack immediately. He was very curious about which dojo had produced such a peerless genius at the age of three or four.
"Kakashi."
Kakashi didn't answer the second question. He picked up another wooden sword.
"Two - sword school?"
Masahiko Hiraoka looked at him in surprise. The difficulty of the two - sword school was definitely much higher than that of the one - sword school.
Kakashi said nothing and took up a stance with his two swords.
It was the starting stance of Niten Ichi-ryu.
Masahiko Hiraoka and the people in the dojo were once again confused.
No one had ever seen or heard of such a starting stance.
Could it be a new school?
Masahiko Hiraoka finally got serious. Facing this new and unfamiliar school, his confidence diminished a lot.
Kakashi jumped up. He made a right - slanting slash with his long sword, while his short sword vibrated slightly, and a continuous blue ripple extended from bottom to top.
Chakra?
This chapter isn't finished yet!
Masahiko Hiraoka raised his eyebrows. He quickly swung his samurai sword down. The same blue Chakra wrapped around it. After knocking the short sword away, he blocked the falling long sword.
The huge force slightly startled him.
In terms of Chakra alone, Kakashi was no less than him.
Damn it, where did this monster come from?
Masahiko Hiraoka thought like this, but he didn't dare to slow down his movements.
He readjusted his stance. His samurai sword let out a roar, and its speed was so fast that it formed an arc of blue moonlight.
Kakashi stepped back and made a simple and fast strike with his two swords, blocking the samurai sword.
But after all, he was young.
He didn't know that this strike from Masahiko Hiraoka was Iaido's Flash.
Todoroki!
Kakashi was sent flying backward, but he spun in mid-air and landed on the ground. He staggered a few steps but remained unscathed.
This made the onlookers experience a quick mood - swing.
Their smiles froze.
Kakashi charged forward again and engaged in a fight with Masahiko Hiraoka.
As his Niten Ichi - ryu gradually showed itself, the people present finally confirmed that this was truly a brand - new and unprecedented school.
Haruki frowned slightly.
He was satisfied that Kakashi and Masahiko Hiraoka were evenly matched, but it also exposed Kakashi's weakness: a shortage of Chakra.
It was estimated that he wouldn't be able to go on after this fight.
Haruki thought for a while and came up with an idea.
He planned to find an item that could store Chakra, like a gemstone or something, and give it to Kakashi to wear as a battery.
Speaking of this, he missed the Tailed Beasts a bit.
If he could get a Tailed Beast - branded charger for Kakashi, he wouldn't have to worry too much.
But if Kakashi had a Tailed Beast, wouldn't it be a waste to still play Kendo?
