The Evil Emperor Arrives

  Although he didn't know if Kakashi was there on purpose or just a coincidence, Shoukokuu didn't bother to pay attention to him. When he saw Kakashi, all he wanted to know was whether his current strength could defeat Kakashi, so he challenged him.

  Shoukokuu knew that Kakashi would definitely accept the challenge and reveal his true strength. "It seems like a good proposal! I'll accept it!"

  Kakashi's eyes widened slightly as he accepted Shoukokuu's challenge. The two of them faced each other, their auras clashing.

  Shoukokuu was the first to make a move, using his Water Release: Dragon Bullet Technique. Kakashi countered with his Fire Release: Dragon Flame Technique. The two techniques collided in mid-air, causing a massive explosion.

  In the midst of the explosion, Shoukokuu suddenly appeared behind Kakashi and swung his sword down at him. However, Kakashi was able to dodge the attack using his Sharingan eye.

  Shoukokuu's eyes widened in surprise as he realized that Kakashi had seen through his technique. He quickly retreated and used his Ice Release: Ice Prison Technique to trap Kakashi in a block of ice.

  However, just as Shoukokuu was about to deliver the finishing blow, Kakashi suddenly appeared behind him and placed a kunai at his throat. "You're too careless," Kakashi said with a smile. "A true ninja never shows their back to the enemy."

  Shoukokuu's eyes widened in shock as he realized that Kakashi had used his Shadow Clone Technique to escape from the ice prison.

  But just as Kakashi was about to deliver the finishing blow, Shoukokuu suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Kakashi. "You're too slow," Shoukokuu said with a smile, placing a black sword at Kakashi's throat.

  Kakashi's eyes widened in shock as he realized that Shoukokuu had also used the Shadow Clone Technique to escape from his attack.
