“Both sides, form the confrontation seal!”
After the confrontation seal was formed, Chiba Kawa immediately launched an attack.
Trying to match combat IQ with Kakashi was practically courting death; only by keeping the rhythm in his own hands did he have a chance of winning.
Dragon — Ox — Rabbit!
“No way…”
“Is he weaving hand signs?”
When Chiba Kawa wove hand signs to prepare a Ninjutsu.
The crowd let out whispers of disbelief.
Chiba Kawa could already use Ninjutsu now?
Was he even human?
You must know that normal Genin only needed to be proficient in the Three Basic Techniques.
You were just a newly enrolled student, and yet you could already use Ninjutsu to attack—were we even living in the same world?
So this must be fake!
Chiba Kawa did not disappoint the crowd.
“Water Release: Water Colliding Wave!”
The stream of water spat out by Chiba Kawa formed a huge wave right in front, and then rushed towards Kakashi.
Asuma broke out in a cold sweat.
Chiba Kawa shouldn’t have heard what he said about beating him up just now!
No, he must become stronger!
When he got back, he would make the old man teach him Ninjutsu!
“It seems I must first block the Water Colliding Wave.”
Watching Chiba Kawa rush over along with the Water Colliding Wave, Kakashi immediately thought of a countermeasure, but his heart ached a bit—his Chakra was limited.
“Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!”
As Kakashi quickly wove hand signs, the dog-head wall instantly rose up.
Seeing that Kakashi also successfully released a Ninjutsu, everyone was speechless.
Neither of them was human; hurry up and graduate to contribute to Konoha Village, and stop crushing ordinary people like them.
The poorly mastered Water Colliding Wave finally crashed into the shoddy Earth Style Wall, sending shattered rocks flying instantly.
Above the ruins, Chiba Kawa and Kakashi exchanged a glance, throwing a punch simultaneously as if sharing a telepathic connection!
Boom!
The immense force coming from the right arm caused Kakashi’s entire body to tremble involuntarily.
So heavy!
Chiba Kawa grinned.
You fell for it!
Comparing taijutsu with him, did you think you were Uchiha?
Can you dance too?
The Senju Clan, which had fought the Uchiha Clan for a thousand years, didn’t just talk about understanding each other and love; they themselves possessed an extremely powerful bloodline.
The inherited physical energy, as the name implied, meant a formidable physique, immense strength, a tough body, coupled with their vitality—they were truly blessed by nature when it came to taijutsu!
Kakashi wanted to create some distance.
After clashing in taijutsu with this guy just a few times, his arms had completely lost all sensation; continuing like this left no hope of winning at all.
However, did his exhausted hands still have a chance?
Just as Kakashi was doubting himself, Chiba Kawa’s punch made him lose his balance and crash to the ground.
“I won!”
Chiba Kawa took out a Kunai and aimed it at Kakashi.
Achievement unlocked: Defeated Hatake Fifty-Fifty!
“No, you haven’t won!”
Kakashi’s calm voice came from behind.
Chiba Kawa abruptly spun around, only to find another Kakashi holding a Kunai aimed right at his kidneys.
Damn Kakashi, where are you aiming!
There was also a hole in the ground not far away.
He must have used Earth Release during the Earth Style Wall to hide underground, and then emerged for a fatal strike when his opponent lowered their guard!
Is this what a Ninja is?
It’s utterly underhanded!
“Eh?
Wait, the one behind me is the Shadow Clone, so the final result is mutual destruction?”
Chiba Kawa knew that Kakashi had the habit of using a Shadow Clone to probe others before coming out to blindside them, so he had been guarding against it all along.
And when he hit Kakashi with so much force, a mere Shadow Clone should have long since vanished.
That conjecture had long been thrown to the back of his mind after punch upon punch.
He hadn’t expected the reality of the situation to be the exact opposite.
“Hm, a draw.”
Kakashi dispelled the Shadow Clone, crossed his arms with slightly trembling hands, looking extremely aloof.
For someone who could so confidently clash in taijutsu with him, if he himself had used a Shadow Clone to fight, it would have been far too arrogant and an extremely irrational behavior.
And indeed, if he had done that, he might have already lost.
“Chiba Kawa and Hatake Kakashi, it’s a draw!”
Morino Daixiong announced the result with lingering fear.
If these two little brats polished their skills a bit more, they would have Chunin-level combat power.
As a retired Chunin, his body had long rusted; if these two kids hadn’t held back, he didn’t even know if he could have stopped them.
Asuma and the others all had deep, gloomy expressions.
With Chiba Kawa being so powerful, how on earth could they ever contend with him!
Kurenai and the others had somewhat of a change in perspective regarding this little yellow-haired white-boy Chiba Kawa.
So he was a genius!
Well, it was normal for geniuses to be a bit eccentric; she had heard that Lord Jiraiya among the Sannin was also like that.
“You’re so strong, how can you have such a boring and superficial dream?”
Kakashi was well aware that his own stats couldn’t match the other party’s; this draw was purely due to his higher combat IQ.
Such a powerful Chiba Kawa must have trained extremely hard usually, so how could he have such a dream?
“If I don’t look for girls, am I supposed to play Ninja games with you?”
Chiba Kawa glanced sideways at Kakashi, then added:
“A repressed guy like you who doesn’t plan ahead early on will just spend the rest of your life with dirty books.”
“You!
Unreasonable!”
Kakashi felt that he had no common language with this guy!
Meanwhile,
After looking away from the crystal ball, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled kindly, then routinely lamented the will of fire.
“A genius has also emerged from Teacher’s clan, and there’s also Kakashi.
When the leaves dance, the fire is ever-living.”
Bang!
The Third did not turn back.
The people who could open the Hokage Office without knocking could be counted on one hand, and at this time of day, there was only one person.
“Hiruzen, give me one of those two kids.
If they join Root, I will train them into even stronger Ninjas!”
Danzo Shimura said excitedly, not caring at all that mouthfuls of spit were inadvertently spraying onto the Third.
But the Third cared, so his hair stood on end with anger as he said,
“Danzo, they are both newly sprouted buds of Konoha, not roots!
It is impossible for me to hand either of them over to you!”
The Third’s tone was extremely resolute.
Who the fuck do you think Kakashi’s dad is?
Have you asked whether others’ blades are sharp?
Chiba Kawa was even more troublesome.
The Senju had only given up their surname, they weren’t dead yet, and Tsunade was still around.
Not to mention the political impact.
If you move against the Senju, are you going to move against the Hyuga and the Sarutobi next?
You’ve rebelled against the heavens!
Do you think you’re the Hokage!
“Hiruzen!”
Danzo’s hair stood on end with rage, his usual gloomy aura seemingly burned away to nothing as his single eye glared at the Third with full of anger.
He was the Hokage’s advisor, why couldn’t he get even a single genius!
“Danzo, I am the Hokage!
Don’t even think about having any designs on those two!”
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly stood up and slammed the desk as he said.
Hearing these words, Danzo looked as if all strength had drained from his entire body.
The majestic advisor to the Hokage instantly turned into a middle-aged old man who had failed in both his career and love life.
“Hiruzen, you will regret this!”
Bang!
