Chapter 523: Killing Intentions Against Kakashi
Huh!
Kakashi took a deep breath, concentrated his Thunder Breathing again and again, and entered the Thunder Breathing Chakra Mode.
A wisp of lightning emerged around Kakashi's body, and the light danced with the rhythm of his breathing, like a dancing lightning snake, strengthening Kakashi's body, making Kakashi's body strength and speed continue to increase.
As his breathing deepened, the lightning on Kakashi's body became more dazzling, and a powerful aura appeared, blowing away the dust and smoke around him.
After noticing the huge changes in Kakashi, Manzuki stopped moving forward, holding the long sword in his hand tightly and began to retreat.
Although Kakashi likes to use the Thunder Breathing Chakra Mode as an auxiliary move of the Wuxiang Sword, the Thunder Breathing Chakra Mode itself is actually a very powerful ability.
Not only can it activate the body and greatly improve physical ability, it can also improve the nature of the thunder attribute chakra changes. Using Thunder Release not only does not require seals, but the power will be even stronger.
However, the chakra problem always forced Kakashi to make trade-offs. He had to carefully use the abilities that could play the greatest role in the battle.
Swoosh! !
Just as Mangetsu was thinking about what kind of move Kakashi was using, Kakashi shot two kunai at Mangetsu at an extremely fast speed, and they were kunai with the nature change of lightning attribute chakra!
Bang!
Mangetsu chopped at the incoming kunai with a knife in one hand and shot water droplets in the shape of a pistol with the other hand to intercept.
"Lightning Release: Pseudo Darkness!"
Kakashi did not make any hand seals, and without warning, he spit out sharp lightning at Mangetsu.
Boom!
Mangetsu did not expect Kakashi's next move to come so quickly. He tried his best to use the water transformation technique to dodge, but was still affected by the lightning.
Due to the nature of lightning, Mangetsu could not maintain a completely watered posture, and the parts affected by lightning were severely damaged.
"There is actually a hidden Lightning Release." Mangetsu felt the pain in his body and his face turned ugly.
He knew that Kakashi mastered Lightning Release, and he had been on guard against it, but he didn't expect Kakashi to be able to perform Lightning Release so quickly. The information he knew about Kakashi didn't have this ability.
Mangetsu didn't have time to think too much. He retreated with difficulty and raised his hand to release ninjutsu.
"Water Release·Water Sleet!"
A large number of water drops like raindrops formed in front of Mangetsu's palm and flew out.
"Thunderbolt Flash·Speed!"
Kakashi was not a person who liked to give his opponent a chance. He immediately used his strongest move except Wuxiang Yidao.
He gathered all his strength, and his body was tense like an arrow about to leave the string.
Boom! !
The thunder and lightning roared, and all the power burst out at the moment when the lightning attribute chakra burst. Kakashi rushed out like a streaking lightning, leaving a charred mark on the ground.
Bang!
Before Manzuki Hozuki could see Kakashi's figure clearly, Kakashi had already come in front of him and put the white fang short blade wrapped with endless lightning on his neck. Manzuki Hozuki could clearly feel the arc of electricity dancing on it.
"Lost..." Manzuki Hozuki's eyes widened. He didn't expect that he would lose so badly in the first round.
Manzuki Hozuki felt very frustrated. He still had many wonderful uses of water transformation techniques and many moves that he hadn't used. How could he lose like this?
But Manzuki Hozuki was a little convinced, because Kakashi's strength and combat ability were very strong, and he was not someone he could defeat at the moment.
"Hatake Kakashi wins!" the referee announced.
"This speed is interesting. If it can be faster and stronger, maybe there is a chance to snatch the first place from Nagato." Hanzo shook his head with some regret.
Judging from Kakashi's performance, he is undoubtedly a super genius, but Kakashi is a few years younger than Nagato, so he has a disadvantage in training time, otherwise the final result of the Youth Martial Arts Tournament would be hard to predict.
Hanzo really wanted a dark horse to appear in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament and take the first place, because then Sosuke's expression would definitely be very interesting.
He thought his disciple was strong enough, so he set his strongest ninjutsu as the first prize, but Cheng Yaojin showed up halfway and took the first place. Hanzo really found it funny when he thought about it.
"Hanzo, why are you laughing suddenly? Is it that your Rain Ninja players are going to appear? I seem to remember that no Rain Ninja entered the elimination round. Am I wrong?" Kakuzu, who was sitting on the left of Mu Yue, asked curiously.
Hanzo's face, which was originally smiling slightly, froze instantly, and then returned to its original expressionless face.
Since Hanzo was going to watch the Youth Martial Arts Tournament as a special guest, many Rain Ninjas participated in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament.
I don't know if it was because their strength was too poor or they were unlucky to meet a strong opponent, but all the Rain Ninjas fell in the preliminaries, and no one advanced to the knockout rounds.
For Hanzo, this was a bit embarrassing.
Because he was against Sosuke, and the Rain Village was against the Ninja Clan, but the Ninja Clan sent Nagato Yahiko and Konan all advanced, while the Rain Ninjas had more ninjas but all fell before the elimination round. In terms of the next generation of talented ninjas, the Rain Village and the Ninja Clan had a big gap.
Hanzo stared at the battlefield where the next battle had not yet started with an indifferent look, hoping that the battle would start and end quickly. If he returned to the Rain Village, he would feel uncomfortable staying in the Six Paths Castle.
Seeing the referee announce the victory or defeat, Kakashi retracted the White Fang Short Blade and walked towards the players' lounge.
When Kakashi walked back to the lounge, many ninjas in the lounge were still recalling Kakashi's thunderous slash in their minds.
"What's going on? I feel that the gap has widened after practicing so hard for so long." Terumi Mei was a little confused.
During the Chunin Exam, she still felt that Kakashi was just so-so. Although he was stronger than her, he was not without a chance of winning.
Now Kakashi, Terumi Mei feels really scary.
Mei Terumi thought from another perspective. If she were replaced, she would not be able to dodge Kakashi's lightning-fast slash.
The only way Mei Terumi could think of was to release the Mist Hidden Technique in advance.
Her Mist Hidden Technique was very high, and most of the detection methods in the ninja world could not break the effect of her Mist Hidden Technique.
"How could this happen?" Mei Terumi was very depressed.
At this moment, she felt like Kakashi scored 75 points in the last exam, while she only scored 70 points.
After working hard for a long time, she scored 80 points, and Kakashi scored 95 points.
Judging from the results, Mei Terumi has made progress, and the progress is not small, but the actual gap between the two is even greater.
"As expected of Kakashi, although he is stronger, he is still so stable." Nohara Lin said with a smile with her hands clasped together.
If Kakashi wanted to solve the opponent as quickly as possible, Kakashi could have used all his strength to defeat Mangetsu Hozuki from the beginning, and it might take less time than Might Guy.
But Kakashi didn't do that. Instead, he chose to find out the information first and then eliminate the enemy in one go.
Nohara Rin felt that Obito needed to learn this from Kakashi.
Based on Nohara Rin's understanding of Obito, when the opponent's strength was weaker than his own, Obito would usually choose the most eye-catching fighting style.
Obito curled his lips, "He only knows how to show off. If you have the ability, cut him twice more."
With Kakashi's chakra, if he cut him twice more, someone would have to carry him into the lounge.
"Hatake Kakashi..., what is his relationship with Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo?" Scorpion's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but glance at Kakashi who was walking over.
Before the elimination round, he didn't care about all the contestants, so naturally he couldn't pay special attention to a strange Konoha ninja.
Now Scorpion carefully analyzed the appearance of Hatake Kakashi, and suddenly found that this young ninja named Hatake Kakashi was very similar to Konoha White Fang.
The person Scorpion hated most in his life was the ninja called Konoha White Fang.
Because it was Konoha White Fang who killed his parents, he lost the warm embrace of his parents.
One of the main motivations for Scorpion to learn puppetry was to kill Konoha White Fang to avenge his parents.
However, fate played tricks on people. After Scorpion mastered puppetry, the news of White Fang's suicide soon spread to the Sand Village, and Scorpion lost his big goal in life.
Scorpion had no revenge to take because his enemy was dead. For this reason, Scorpion was depressed for a long time and felt that life had lost its meaning.
"Child of Konoha White Fang? Well, your father killed my parents, so I will kill you." Scorpion's dormant revenge was burning.
At this moment, he no longer cared about the so-called chakra knife worth tens of millions. If he could avenge his parents, what would a few materials for making puppets mean?
Although the transparent world was closed, Kakashi was very sensitive to the smell of crisis. He suddenly felt a subtle killing intent and subconsciously swept around the lounge.
Because of Kakashi's amazing performance just now, many ninjas in the lounge were looking at Kakashi. Kakashi took note of everyone's expressions, but for a moment he couldn't analyze who had the killing intention towards him.
"No, I can't do it here." Scorpion made a calm expression and suppressed the killing intention in his heart.
There were a large number of young geniuses gathered here, and there were also ninjas from the Ninja Clan. Scorpion was not sure if he could kill Kakashi in this situation.
Kakashi's speed just now was too fast. As long as he failed to kill with one blow, Kakashi could escape at a very fast speed.
When the ninja master Sosuke and the demigod Hanzo attacked together, Scorpion would find it difficult to kill Kakashi and get away unscathed.
He had to find a suitable opportunity, just like he killed the Third Kazekage.
"Who is it, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, or Kumogakure?" Kakashi thought about the ninja who had the killing intention towards him.
According to normal logical thinking, it must be the ninja villages that were fighting with Konoha.
Among the three major ninja villages, Kakashi believes that Kirigakure is the most suspicious, because Kakashi has killed many Kirigakure on the battlefield on the east coast, and it is possible that some of them are relatives and friends of Kirigakure who participated in the competition.
Secondly, Kakashi and his team are more famous in Kirigakure than in other ninja villages. It is not impossible that Kirigakure will find an opportunity to assassinate their own ninja village when they participate in the competition.
Although he knew that someone wanted to kill him, Kakashi was not panicked at all, because his four teammates were around him, and Mu Yue was not far away.
Even if Mizunotsuki Han and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were resurrected, they would not be qualified to kill him.
"Be careful next time, someone may want to attack our Konoha ninjas." Kakashi sat down next to his teammates and wrote this sentence on paper.
Obito's eyes widened when he saw it and wanted to say something. Kakashi raised his finger in front of Obito's mouth and shook his head slightly.
At present, they are in the open and the enemy is in the dark, and they must not expose the fact that they have discovered the enemy's intentions.
Shisui scanned all the contestants without a trace, looking for suspicious ninjas.
Nohara Rin tensed her body, ready to gather chakra to fight at any time.
"We have enough strength here, so there is no need to worry too much." Kakashi wrote another sentence.
Nohara Lin thought about it and it was true. Might Guy and Shisui were both there. Now they were an elite team of five jonin.
The competition was still going on in an orderly manner.
After Kakashi's battle, there was a battle between an Iwagakure ninja and a Kumogakure ninja. The final result was that the Kumogakure ninja narrowly won.
Then it was Shisui's battle. Shisui's opponent was also an Iwagakure ninja.
Shisui won this battle very easily. He easily defeated the Iwagakure ninja by just using the Sharingan illusion.
This made Huang Tu in the audience very sad. Although many Iwagakure advanced to the knockout round, most of them lost in the first round.
Later, Kakashi saw their acquaintance, Asuma, who came to participate in the competition with them.
Kakashi felt that Asuma's position was a bit awkward.
To say that Asuma was weak, he was not really weak. Asuma didn't have much effort to solve his opponent in the first round of the knockout round, but to say that he was strong, Asuma was far away from them.
Although the strength is a bit embarrassing, Kakashi thinks Asuma has a high probability of entering the quarterfinals.
Because Asuma drew a good lot, he won't meet too strong ninjas before the quarterfinals.
Everything depends on the comparison. Asuma is not good compared with them, but compared with most of the contestants, his strength is already quite good.
In addition, Mei Terumi, who was suspected by Kakashi, also advanced to the second round.
In the penultimate battle, Obito burst into the flame breathing chakra mode at the beginning of the battle, and a large-scale fire escape solved the opponent of Rock Village.
The two players in the last game were not ninjas from the Great Ninja Village. One was a ninja from the Grass Ninja Village, and the other was a ninja from the Frost Ninja Village. In the end, the ninja from the Grass Ninja Village was superior and won the game.
This made Kakashi sigh at the unevenness of the world. Some people played Nagato and Might Guy in the first round, and some played Grass Ninja in the second round. Obito's lot was too smooth.
So far, the first round of the elimination round has ended.
Since the players in front are resting when the players behind are fighting, the players behind can also rest when the players in front fight in the second round.
So the intermission was not long, and the second round of battle officially began half an hour later.
I started with the first Nagato again and fought in order.
PS: I was too sleepy today, and I almost fell asleep while typing. It was really outrageous. I almost rolled my face off the keyboard while typing.
It should be the backlash of staying up late last night. I will only update once today. I will write more tomorrow and try to make up for it.
