Naruto: What do you mean you're from the Head-Touching Village?

"Don't lose."

Before Autumn Shun entered the arena, Kakashi said this.

Autumn Sun turned away, looking at Kakashi with a puzzled expression: "Would you lose to bread?"

Kakashi did not answer Akihito Shun, but lowered his head instead.

When Akira Shun entered the arena, the entire stadium erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

There's no way around it, Akira Shun's performance these past two days has been just too outstanding. He tied for first place in the written test with Kakashi and speed-cleared the Forest of Death in one day.

These two achievements, taken individually, would be outstanding on any one person, but now they have appeared on the same person!

After entering the arena, Akira Shun calmly summoned the White Fang Blade. Unlike Akira Shun's composure, the gatekeeper Iron was already feeling immense pressure.

Soon, both of them were ready, and the battle officially began!

The moment the battle began, Shoumon Tetsuo immediately fired several shuriken at Akihi Shun.

Faced with a shuriken that lacked any throwing skill, Akihi Shun was even too lazy to flick it back.

Raising the White Fang Blade, he carefully observed the movement trajectory of the shuriken. Then, the sound of air being cut rang out beside Akihi Shun, and the White Fang Blade in his hand was so powerful that only afterimages could be seen.

When the afterimage ended, the shuriken fell to the ground.

After doing all this, before the goalkeeper could even react, they prepared for the next attack.

Akira Shun had already teleported to the side of the gatekeeper, and slashed at the gatekeeper with the White Fang Blade in his hand!

Shumen Tetsuo was also quite strong and reacted quickly, trying to dodge to the side. However, Akihi Shun suddenly withdrew his sword and instead delivered a side kick, hitting Shumen Tetsuo in the abdomen. The powerful impact immediately sent Shumen Tetsuo flying, making his entire body fly backward!

"Bang!"

The gatekeeper's body slammed against the wall, creating spiderweb-like cracks, before collapsing to the ground.

The gatekeeper, who had fallen to the ground, coughed up a mouthful of blood, but he did not give up. He tried to support himself on the ground and stand up.

However, at this moment, Akira Shun had already appeared before him again, and the shadow enveloped Morimon Tetsuo's body. Just looking at Akira Shun's calm eyes, Morimon Tetsuo felt a strong fear sweep over his entire body.

"I give up!"

Before Akira could even raise his sword, Morimichi Tetsuo had already conceded defeat, ending the match with no suspense whatsoever.

The entire battle between the two lasted less than half a minute, with most of the time spent on Akihi Shunzan's shuriken.

However, this is also the fastest victory record to date!

"That's too powerful..."

"Is this what autumn fleeting moments are like?"

"Luckily, I didn't draw this guy in the preliminaries. Hehe, as long as I perform well in the official tournament, I can become a Chunin."

"You've been matched with this guy, do you really think you still have a chance to shine?"

"..."

Discussions continued in the audience.

"Is this... the White Fang Sword Technique?"

The Third Kazekage narrowed his eyes as he watched Akihi Shun's retreating figure.

White Fang Sword Technique, shouldn't that be something that brat Kakashi knows?

How could Akatsuki Shun know this? The disciple of Konoha's White Fang?

"Yes, this is the swordsmanship of Konoha's White Fang. I didn't expect that Akiga Shun had already mastered it so well."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with a smile.

"Haha, no wonder those two were able to finish so quickly in the Death Forest. Two White Fang Sword Techniques are not something those brats can handle."

The Third Kazekage didn't say much.

It's alright, let that old bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi be smug for a while longer. When it's her turn to appear, let's see if you can still laugh!

.......

Autumn instantly returned to the audience seats.

Kakashi opened his eyes, glanced at Shun Akihito, didn't say anything, and lowered his head again to continue pretending to be aloof.

Soon, it was Kakashi's turn to appear.

"Next match: Kakashi Hatake vs. Sunamura Maru!"

Like Akihi Shun, it was a battle between Konoha Village and Sunagakure Village.

As soon as he entered the arena, Kakashi instantly drew his White Fang Blade, not wanting to give his opponent any chance to retaliate.

As soon as the battle began, Kakashi rushed in, intending to end the fight with a single strike and break Shun Akihito's record.

However, things didn't go as Kakashi expected. Because Akihito Shun had used the White Fang Sword Technique before, everyone could see that the White Fang Sword Technique was a high-speed combat style.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Sunamura Maru began to avoid battle.

He kept dodging, using various long-range earth-style techniques to kite Kakashi, and occasionally throwing a couple of kunai at Kakashi to annoy him.

After dodging the kunai once again, Kakashi finally couldn't take it anymore.

One powerful dragon fire spell ended the battle decisively.

The final battle lasted 40 seconds.

It lasted 10 seconds longer than the autumn instant.

After that, Akihi Shun didn't hear any familiar names in the battles, nor did he witness any particularly exciting fights, so he stopped paying attention.

Until the final battle, a familiar name reached Akihi Shun's ears, causing him to open his eyes.

"Next match: Karura vs. Hitake Yoto!"

Karura!

The underlying logic of Masako is Gaara's most loving mother.

For some reason, Akira Shun was still a genin, and her strength was practically a one-dimensional attack among genin.

With precise sand control and absolute defense, Hitake Yoto was defeated without any chance to resist.

Not only did Akira Shun watch the entire match, but even Kakashi watched it.

Immediately after the battle with Garura ended, a lottery was held to determine the winners of the official match a month later.

Akira Shun thought he would draw Karura, but in reality, it was...

Kakashi.

At this moment, Kakashi's expression was very serious. To him, Karura was another formidable rival besides Shun Akihito.

It deserves serious attention!

The following month will be given them time to prepare for the official competition.

For the first twenty days or so, Kakashi would go out to train as soon as it was light.

For the past twenty-odd days, Akira Shun hadn't even seen Kakashi, despite the two being assigned to the same room.

It wasn't until a week before the official match that Akira Shun saw Kakashi, who had returned from training and was exhausted, at night. Akira chuckled and asked, "Have you figured out how to deal with the Absolute Defense?"

Kakashi hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I've thought it through, but it'll be very troublesome."

Looking at Kakashi, Shun Akihito suddenly had a strange idea.

In the original work, Kakashi taught Sasuke Chidori in order to counter Gaara's absolute defense.

Now that Kakashi doesn't know Chidori, why doesn't he teach Kakashi Chidori to deal with Gaara's mother?

In that case, when Kakashi teaches Sasuke how to deal with Gaara, wouldn't that be considered a kind of inheritance?

As for the difficulty of teaching, Akira Shun didn't care at all.

Firstly, Kakashi's talent was already quite good. Secondly, after being taught a lesson by Chidori, Kakashi trained even more intensely. His physical attributes, reaction speed, and other aspects had all reached the perfect level to use Chidori. Now, it can be said that he is only one step away from mastering it.

"Kakashi, shall we learn Chidori?"
