Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

Of course, in the eyes of those who are familiar with Kakashi and Zabuza, or in the eyes of some people with sharp eyes, this is a battle without suspense.

"How could he possibly win? He lost to that guy a month ago." In Kurosawa's mind, Zabuza would come up in a few minutes at most to watch the fight with him.

Zabuza did not try to guess what the audience was thinking. He was never the type of person who would deliberately cater to other people's expectations.

Looking at Kakashi's calm and composed appearance, Zabuza couldn't help but think back to a month ago.

Facing a strong enemy like Akutami Hideyuki, Kakashi and his team truly never gave up, and everyone fought to their limit.

Kakashi didn't even have the strength to run, but he still chose to step forward to help his teammates and swung a sword that he still couldn't understand.

I really don't understand Zabuza at all. He looks like he needs to exert all his strength to even walk. He exudes a sense of weakness inside and out. But it was this weak Kakashi who killed Akutami Hideyuki in one blow.

Zabuza felt that he might never be able to understand Kakashi's power, because he really couldn't imagine who he would swing his sword for.

"The competition between people starts before they are born. If you were born in Kirigakure, you would probably look similar to me now." Zabuza said.

He was still a little unwilling to admit defeat, but what he was unwilling to admit was not strength, but the village.

Zabuza has been in Konoha for a month, and during this month he has fully felt the difference between Konoha and Kirigakure.

To graduate from Konoha's Ninja School, you don't need to kill your classmates, and the atmosphere between ninjas is not so cold and bloody.

Growing up with your companions in such an environment will naturally build good relationships and you will also have the desire to protect your companions.

Hiruko next to him felt a little empathy for Zabuza's words, but it was not because of the ninja village, but because of the gap in talent between people, which is also determined at birth. For example, it is basically impossible to have the Sharingan if you are not born in the Uchiha family.

"There are no ifs in the world. It seems that the previous blow did not completely cut off the resentment in your heart." Kakashi replied calmly. His expression did not change because of Zabuza's words.

In Kakashi's opinion, this assumption doesn't make much sense because he doesn't even know what the environment of Kirigakure is like.

Kakashi admitted that the environment can affect people, but this is not absolute. Take Obito for example. Although he was born in Uchiha, his personality is completely different from that of ordinary Uchiha in every aspect.

"If you think Kirigakure is not good and is not as good as Konoha, then you should work hard to change it instead of imagining that I will become Kirigakure," Kakashi said.

After studying the history of the ninja world, Kakashi realized a truth: where one is born is determined by fate and cannot be changed, but they can choose what to do in their life.

For example, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, although they were born in rival families, they eventually chose to join forces to create Konoha.

Tobirama Senju is a member of the great ninja clan, but in order to strengthen the strength of the ninja village, he can weaken the ninja clan and allow more civilian ninjas to appear.

"That kind of thing can't be done just by talking about it." Zabuza sneered. Kakashi said it easily, but the blood mist was a policy decided by the Mizukage.

"Then do you think it's easy to kill a Jonin?" Kakashi said calmly.

It is difficult to change, but there will never be any chance of success if you don't try. If Kakashi had lay down because of pain and lack of physical strength, he would not have been able to enter the transparent world and kill Akutami Hideyuki with that sword.

Zabuza was speechless. The person who was killed was his instructor, so he naturally knew how difficult it was.

"The battle begins!" Beiluhu adjusted his emotions slightly and then shouted quickly.

"Kirigakure no Jutsu!"

In order to prevent himself from being killed instantly by Kakashi, Zabuza immediately retreated and formed hand seals to create thick fog on the ground, while using the instant body technique to quickly change position.

But to Zabuza's surprise, Kakashi did not move, turning his series of position changes and dodging into a battle of wits and courage with the air.

"What does that guy want to do?" Zabuza frowned and guessed Kakashi's tactics in his mind.

This was completely different from what he had imagined. He had imagined the battle scene to be Kakashi rushing towards him at high speed, but the reality was that Kakashi was walking slowly without even drawing his sword.

In fact, Zabuza's initial guess was not wrong. Kakashi had wanted to kill Zabuza instantly with a flash.

But after a conversation, Kakashi gave up this idea. He wanted to completely defeat Zabuza and use his newly developed Thunder Flash.

Kakashi pushed his Thunder Breathing to its limit, greatly increasing his body's strength and speed. At the same time, he gathered a large amount of chakra in his legs and right hand, ready to explode at any time.

Kakashi tried hard to enter that clear and transparent world. He made many attempts in the past month, but all failed.

This time he failed as he expected, but Kakashi keenly noticed that although he failed this time, it was different from the previous times. He could vaguely feel something.

Kakashi felt a little relieved. After a month of hard training, he finally made some progress. As expected, he still had to fight.

Unable to figure out Kakashi's thoughts, Zabuza created a water clone and let it attack Kakashi, while his main body waited for Kakashi to reveal a flaw.

To intensify the feeling, Kakashi tried closing his eyes.

Seeing this, the water clone rushed forward.

Swish!

Kakashi drew his sword and slashed at an extremely fast speed, and instantly the water clone split into two and collapsed into a stream of water.

Zabuza, who was just about to rush forward, broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. He really couldn't understand Kakashi's operation. He killed him in such a fast speed even with his eyes closed.

Just when Zabuza was thinking about new tactics, Kakashi moved again, this time he was heading towards Zabuza.

Kakashi transformed all of the chakra he had gathered into lightning attribute chakra, and a dazzling yellow flash enveloped Kakashi's legs and right hand.

Yellow lightning passed from Kakashi's arm to the White Fang short blade in his hand. Under the effect of chakra, the short blade extended a lightning blade and turned into a katana style.

"Thunder Flash!"

Zizzi! !

boom!

At this moment, the lightning on Kakashi's body became more dazzling, and even the thick white fog could not cover its light. The audience could clearly see the yellow light exploding from the white fog, accompanied by the roar of thunder and lightning.

Zabuza didn't know how Kakashi discovered him. The moment lightning exploded on Kakashi's body, he wanted to dodge, but as soon as this thought appeared in his mind and his body had not had time to put it into action, his eyes were suddenly filled with yellow lightning.

Kakashi had already reached him and swung out his lightning blade.

"So beautiful." Looking at the dazzling lightning strike, this thought suddenly appeared in Zabuza's mind.

Boom! !

With a loud bang, the white mist on the field quickly faded and dissipated, and the audience could finally see the scene inside clearly.

Kakashi stood in front of Zabuza, holding a sharp blade wrapped in lightning chakra in his hand, with a calm expression on his face, as if he had done something very ordinary.

Zabuza faced Kakashi with the hilt of the sword in his hand, dozens of broken iron pieces of the sword blade under him, and a large pool of blood and charred marks on his chest.

What shocked the audience the most was that there was a long, narrow, charred slash mark next to Zabuza. Some people estimated that it was at least six meters long.

The next moment, Zabuza couldn't control the blood flowing from his mouth and fell to the ground.

"What kind of technique did Kakashi practice? I remember he didn't fight like this before?" Asuma widened his eyes as he looked at the marks left by Kakashi's sword.

He thought that Kakashi's swordsmanship was good in the past, but it was just slightly better than physical skills, which was completely different from now.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his mustache and nodded. The Kakashi in front of him was even more dazzling than White Fang of the same age. Although their styles were somewhat similar, Kakashi had already found a path that suited him better.

Hoshigaki Kisame in the lounge looked solemn. He felt a huge threat from Kakashi.

Hoshigaki Kisame calmed down and looked at Might Guy. The semi-finals would be coming soon, and he had to defeat Might Guy first before he could meet Kakashi in the finals.

"As expected of my best friend, I can feel your passionate youth!" Might Guy clenched his fists, tears of emotion welled up in his eyes, and his desire to fight Kakashi grew stronger.

"Kakashi is such a pretentious guy!" Obito felt that Kakashi was doing it on purpose. He had a more energy-saving move but he insisted on using the strongest one, wasting his energy and chakra meaninglessly.

The thought that Nohara Rin might still be looking at Kakashi and Obito with shining eyes in the audience made him feel even more uncomfortable, and he vowed to beat Kakashi up in the semi-finals.

"Are you underestimating me? You're holding back again." Zabuza, lying on the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood and said.

Although he was seriously injured, Zabuza knew that he was just affected by Kakashi's attack. Kakashi slightly deflected the direction of the attack and did not strike directly at him.

It was because Zabuza did not take the direct blow that he understood more deeply how powerful Kakashi was. Only a part of his strength was enough to break his new weapon and injure him at the same time.

If all this power were poured towards him, I'm afraid even Tsunade, known as the Medical Saint, wouldn't be able to be saved.

"I just feel that you will never be able to defeat me in your current state." Kakashi replied as he sheathed the White Fang short blade.

"You haven't understood what true strength is."

Zabuza was silent. He looked up at the blue sky. Kakashi was indeed qualified to say this now, because Kakashi only used a part of his slashing power to beat him without the strength to fight again, and he had no chance to counterattack.

"One day, I will stand in front of you again and defeat you." Zabuza said suddenly.

He is a person who never gives up. Even if Kakashi says he can't do it, he insists on doing it. No matter whether it is to change Kirigakure or to find true strength, he will do it. The worst thing in life is death. Because of Kirigakure's mission, he has passed through the gate of death twice, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Come on if you can," Kakashi said calmly.

"Hatake Kakashi wins!"

After seeing that Zabuza was just talking and not moving, Hiruhu quickly announced the end of the battle.

Soon a medical ninja rushed down and took the injured Zabuza away.

Lying on the stretcher, Zabuza had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He had suffered a lot of shocks during this trip to Konoha, but what made him most regretful at the moment was the battle with Kakashi just now.

He was defeated without even having to fight, and he felt that Kakashi would not like this kind of fight, so he felt regretful.

The last game of the second round ended and the venue entered the intermission time.

Although players can rest while other players are fighting, the pace of ninja fighting is too fast. It's okay in the first round because there are many people, but there are only four games in the second round, so they can't rest for long.

"Kakashi, what combat wisdom do you have? You could have solved it with less effort..." As soon as Kakashi entered the lounge, Obito started talking about the battle Kakashi had just fought.

"Isn't it possible to take revenge for the Death Forest?" Kakashi interrupted.

Obito had nothing to say. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with being ruthless when there was a personal grudge.

There were only four people in the lounge at the moment. Kakashi, Obito, and Might Guy were resting and chatting, while Kisame was sitting in the corner with his eyes closed, waiting for the exam to begin.

The audience ate snacks and discussed the strength of the remaining four contestants.

Up to now, it can be said that none of the four candidates are weak. Each candidate's performance is extremely strong. Hoshigaki Kisame can turn the battlefield into a water field, and Might Guy has exaggerated physical skills.

It's just that Naruto's technology hasn't reached that level yet. If there were online live broadcasts, after a short break, there would be hundreds or thousands of posts on the Internet tearing up the combat power.

"Hoshigaki Kisame vs. Might Guy! Candidates please enter the venue quickly." Oyari shouted after the break.

Might Guy smiled brightly and walked into the battle arena first, while Kisame opened his eyes and followed.

All the audience looked at the center of the venue attentively. This battle was very important for the joint Chunin Exam.

If Might Guy wins, it will mean Konoha's complete victory, and the next step will be the Konoha Ninja Civil War in the final.

If Hoshigaki Kisame wins, then even if Kirigakure loses in the finals, its basic face will be saved. After all, they are in the finals together and there is no problem in saying they are at the same level.

The audience in Konoha was cheering for Might Guy, and the Kirigakure ninjas were silently praying for Kisame in their hearts, hoping that Kisame could win the battle.

"You still remember me? This time I'm in top form and I won't lose again." Kisame smiled, revealing his shark-like sharp teeth.

Might Guy scratched his head while looking at Kisame's face. He seemed to vaguely hear Oyaku calling out the word "Hashigaki". Combined with his previous memory of a similar conversation, Might Guy figured out the name of his opponent.

"Hoshigaki Kamon, I will win again this time!" Might Guy said confidently.

Kisame looked at Might Guy with a puzzled look on his face. How come he didn't know who Hoshigaki Kamon was?

Kisame was convinced by Might Guy. It was bad enough that he didn't remember the name that Death Forest reported, but the referee had called his name three times today, one of which was just now. How could he have called it wrong?

"Are you doing this on purpose to provoke me so that I'll make a mistake?" Kisame thought he had figured out the reason why Might Guy did this.

He didn't expect that Might Guy, who had thick eyebrows, big eyes and strong limbs, would use provocation before the battle. This changed the image of Might Guy in Kisame's mind.

"The battle begins!" Beiluhu announced on time.

"Eight Gates of Ninjutsu: Open, open! Rest Gate, open! Life Gate, open!" Might Guy opened three gates in an instant, and the chakra in his body surged.

"Rock Breathing, full concentration!" At the same time, Might Guy changed his breathing and concentrated his breathing to greatly enhance his physical abilities.

Having fought with Kisame once, he knew Kisame's approximate strength, so he went all out without any test.

"Water Release·Exploding Water Wave!"

Knowing that Might Guy's physical skills were powerful, Kisame didn't dare to hesitate at all. As soon as Higurashi finished speaking, he quickly retreated and then formed hand seals and spit out a large amount of water towards Might Guy.

Might Guy jumped up to avoid the huge water flow, and then the whole place turned into a big pond, and Might Guy could only fight by stepping on the water.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

After using the Water Explosion Wave, Kisame immediately formed hand seals and used offensive water jutsu to condense a thick water dragon and smashed it towards Might Guy.

"Konoha's powerful whirlwind!"

Might Guy gathered his strength in his feet and kicked out a whirlwind kick with heavy force. With just one kick, he shattered the water dragon bomb, and the water splashed in all directions.

Might Guy, who is only about 1.3 meters tall, looks very small in front of the thick water dragon bullet. However, despite the huge size difference, Might Guy kicked the water dragon into pieces with one kick.

At this moment, the immense power of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu plus Rock Breathing was demonstrated to the fullest. Many ninjas watching the battle gasped when they saw this scene. This was a real head-on collision of physical skills and ninjutsu.

"Kai!" The old father Might Guy watched Might Guy kick the water dragon bullet into pieces and shouted Might Guy's name loudly. Might Guy's training from morning till night was not in vain, it was for this moment.

Shiranui Genma and Ebisu looked at each other and felt that the class division might have cost them a lot of luck. It was really great to have such a big guy in the team, which made them feel safer when doing the mission.

Even though he had fought with Might Guy once, Kisame's eyelids twitched violently when he saw Might Guy's powerful physical skills again.
