Hearing the strange ninja say that he wanted to guide him, Nawaki stopped and looked over.
Not just anyone was qualified to teach him. Tsunade was his sister, and Orochimaru was his teacher. So he also wanted to see what this Hatake-clan ninja was capable of.
"This is Jonin Kawaki Hatake, and he's also my good friend."
Tsunade introduced him to her younger brother on her own initiative, well aware of his little thoughts.
"Even Sakumo Hatake isn't his match."
In her words, the poor Sakumo Hatake was used as a human background board to set off Kawaki's strength. It was hardcore (a trendy Chinese word meaning extremely tough or uncompromising).
Hearing what his sister said, Nawaki's eyes lit up, and a sunny and honest smile appeared on his face.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Aniki Kawaki."
The future brother-in-law, Nawaki, was a sensible guy. Kawaki walked slowly towards Nawaki, leaving some face for Sakumo in his words.
It wasn't that Sakumo was too weak; it was just that Kawaki was too strong.
"I was just sparring with Aniki."
"I think your Taijutsu is just so-so. I wonder how good you are at Ninjutsu?"
Kawaki didn't intend to give this little brat any face. If it's bad, it's bad. If he didn't want Nawaki to end up dead, he had to be tough on him.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was already in front of Nawaki. Tsunade's eyes lit up. How fast he is!
Nawaki watched as Kawaki, who had been quite far away from him just now, suddenly appeared in front of him, staring down at him. An overwhelming pressure hit him.
This feeling was completely different from what his teacher, Orochimaru, gave him. Orochimaru was gloomy and oppressive, while Kawaki was like a searing thunderbolt in the sun. His heart couldn't help pounding.
The dissatisfaction in his heart just now was instantly quelled, and his expression became solemn.
"I hope Aniki Kawaki can give me some advice without reservation."
Nawaki bowed politely, and Kawaki took it for granted.
"Use everything you've got. If I move even a bit, I lose."
As Kawaki said this, he didn't even intend to draw his eight-sided Han sword. He folded his arms and looked at Nawaki playfully.
Seeing Kawaki being so overconfident, Tsunade knew that a ninja's strength didn't lie in just taking a hit.
"Kawaki-kun..."
Her voice drifted over, but Kawaki waved his hand and said,
"Don't worry."
Tsunade was interrupted before she could finish speaking and could only watch silently, hoping that she wouldn't have to use her medical skills on Kawaki.
"Aniki Kawaki, then I won't hold back."
Which young man isn't arrogant? Being looked down upon like this, Nawaki got angry. He didn't think he didn't even have the strength to make Kawaki move.
However, reality always bites. There's always someone better out there. There's always someone better, and there's always a greater heaven beyond (an idiom meaning there's always someone more capable).
[Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique]
Nawaki formed hand seals with both hands and spat out a water dragon made of a stream of water, rushing towards Kawaki.
But his Chakra was too small. Compared with the one his second grandfather, Tobirama Senju, cast, this water dragon could only be regarded as a little snake.
Kawaki's expression remained unchanged, still wearing a gentle smile.
Without any obvious movement from him, thunder light flickered on his body. The little snake hit his body and disappeared without causing any ripples, directly evaporating.
"Lightning Strike Armor?"
Tsunade frowned and immediately thought of the secret technique of Kumogakure.
This is a jutsu developed by Kawaki, which uses lightning - attribute Chakra to stimulate all the cells in his body. It can greatly improve both attack and defense capabilities, similar to the Lightning Strike Armor.
However, due to the wild nature of lightning - attribute Chakra, if he didn't have a cheat, it would be impossible for him to maintain it for a long time.
Seeing that his most proud Ninjutsu had no effect at all, Nawaki was unwilling and started to form Hand Seals again.
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet."
After completing the Hand Seals, the head of an earth dragon emerged from the ground beside Nawaki and spat earth balls towards Kawaki.
Upon seeing the incoming earth balls, Kawaki dissipated the lightning on his body and unsheathed his eight - sided Han sword.
With a graceful movement and a carefree look, he sliced the earth balls in half one by one, and they fell beside him.
Tsunade gazed at Kawaki standing there with his sword in hand. As a gentle breeze blew, his silver hair fluttered in the wind, and she was utterly spellbound.
Kawaki's move not only intimidated Nawaki but also showed off his charm to Tsunade. It was truly a win - win move.
"Aniki Kawaki, I want to learn swordsmanship from you."
Nawaki's eyes lit up. This sword was so cool. Since his two most proficient Ninjutsu had no effect, he had no intention of attacking anymore.
"No problem. As long as you agree to a small condition of mine."
Now that Kawaki had achieved his goal, he put away his sword and walked to Nawaki's side. His smile started to look a bit creepy.
The plan to court his future brother - in - law began.
"Ah, what kind of condition?"
Nawaki felt that this handsome big brother in front of him suddenly seemed a bit lecherous.
Tsunade was still watching the two in the field without moving.
"I'll teach you swordsmanship, and you help me pursue your sister."
Kawaki liked to be straightforward. He leaned over and whispered, which left Nawaki stunned.
Are adults always this direct?
"How can I help you?"
Nawaki didn't think his sister was beautiful. She was so strong and her punches hurt so much.
Apart from having fair skin, a nice figure, and a bit of money, what else does she have? Come on, tell me!
As he spoke, he glanced at Tsunade and shivered, saying that he would never like a woman like his sister.
He was still too young and knew too little!
"I'll need your help someday. As long as you agree, the gates of the Hatake clan will always be open to you."
"And I'll give you a sword."
Kawaki understood the psychology of kids well. Which boy didn't have a samurai dream?
"I want one like yours."
It would be an insult to his samurai dream if Nawaki even hesitated for a split second.
"Deal."
Kawaki proudly patted Nawaki on the shoulder. This young lad had potential.
"How much Chakra do you have left?"
After finishing the important business, Kawaki didn't forget the details.
"There's still enough Chakra for a few more uses, but it's useless against you, Aniki."
Nawaki looked so innocent that he even skipped calling Kawaki by his name and just called him Aniki directly.
"Your Chakra Reserves Amount at your age is quite good. But you need to speed up your Hand Seal formation. Your Taijutsu lacks actual combat experience, so its lethality is insufficient."
"And you have to remember, there's no useless Ninjutsu, only useless Ninjas."
Kawaki pointed out Nawaki's shortcomings and gave him a piece of advice.
This kid was indeed the direct descendant of the Senju clan. His Chakra Reserves Amount was probably unmatched by his peers.
I'm wondering. Either Tsunade can't bring herself to be harsh, or Orochimaru's teaching quality has been poor lately.
Such a good young talent only has Genin-level strength now, far inferior to his future nephew, Kakashi.
You know, Kakashi had Jonin-level strength at the age of 12, and this kid is far behind him.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Aniki. I'll work hard."
"My teacher is always busy and hasn't given me any guidance for a long time."
"I'll come to your place tomorrow."
"Bring my sister along."
I've gotta say, this kid is really something. He's even learned to butt in.
"Sure, sure, sure."
Kawaki bared his teeth and gave Nawaki a hard pat on the shoulder, almost knocking him into the ground.
Tsunade watched Kawaki and her younger brother chatting and laughing. It seemed that Nawaki really liked Kawaki.
"Mr. Kawaki, what do you like to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it."
Tsunade put her mind at ease now. She walked over and asked, planning to tell the kitchen to cook some dishes that Kawaki liked.
"Something to go with the wine is fine. I'm not picky."
Kawaki wasn't lying. He could barely tolerate Japanese cuisine, but the wine was a bit of a letdown.
"Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen. Please forgive me if there's any lack of hospitality, Mr. Kawaki."
Tsunade showed the grace of a noble lady and didn't look like the Chakra Enhanced Strength brute at all.
"You go ahead. I'll practice with Aniki for a while longer."
Seeing that his sister seemed to be going on and on, Nawaki quickly cut in, wishing this woman would just go away.
"I'll call you for lunch."
Tsunade gave her younger brother a glare. This ungrateful brat was already calling him Aniki.
After saying that, she turned around and left.
