Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

The Hokage campaign is different from the Chunin Exams, here, even if the Hokage Candidates restrain themselves, the environment around them will still be affected, and if the stadium is destroyed because of their carelessness, they will be held responsible and will have to pay for the repairs and maintenance.

So, Having learnt their lesson in the previous match, the sealing class did not dare to be careless this time and activated the Four-Purple Black Formation at the start of the match.

As soon as the Four-Purple Flame Formation was activated, Jiraiya–the referee–explained the rules, and then gave the signal to start the match.

…

In the Arena

As soon as the match started, Kakashi immediately took out dozens of Kunai marked with Flying Raijin and threw them in all directions.

Standing opposite Kakashi, Fugaku did not stop him, and he was not surprised by Kakashi’s move.

Rather, this was within the scope of his predictions and he patiently stood with his Sharingan activated as he memorized the position of all the Flying Raijin Kunai. Even if all the Kunai are not marked with the Flying Raijin, by recording their position, he won’t be taken by surprise that easily.

As candidates who were meant to fight in the First Stage of the Godaime Hokage elections, both sides studied each other before the battle, so they can anticipate the tactics that their opponent might adopt in the battle.

Having made the preparations, Kakashi took out one more Kunai from his Shinboi Bag, and as he took his battle stance, he reminded Fugaku, “I am going to make my move, be careful Fugaku-san.”

Fugaku snorted coldly, “Less talking more fighting.” He didn’t need Kakashi to remind him, he can perfectly capture Kakashi’s movements with his Sharingan.

Whoosh!

Kakashi’s body sank, and he disappeared with a silver flash.

Soon, the sound of metal clanking could be heard as sparks flew all over the battlefield.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

…

Seeing Kakashi relentlessly attacking Fugaku, Jiraiya looked a little worried.

Fugaku’s performance so far is somewhat similar to Kuroto’s from the previous game. Although he is a bit passive up until now, Fugaku has effortlessly resisted Kakashi’s relentless attacks with minimal and critical movement.

Looking at such a scene, Jiraiya couldn’t help but wonder, ‘The insight provided by the three-tomoe Sharingan… can it reach such a level?’

Noting Jiraiya’s worried expression, Tsunade said from the side, “Have some confidence in Kakashi, he is Minato’s disciple after all.”

Jiraiya shook his head, “It’s not that I don’t have confidence in Kakashi’s skills.” And added after a pause, “I just feel a little uneasy… as if… as if things would not go the way we have planned.”

“Don’t tell me you were intimidated by Fugaku’s abilities.” Tsunade raised her eyebrows in surprise, then she tried to calm Jiraiya’s nerves, “Well, even if he is skilled, he has been the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan for over a decade now, that means he has been away from the front lines for so long, he must have lost that touch. On the other hand, Kakashi… is been on constant edge, sharpening himself. It will go down exactly as we have planned.”

“I hope that you are right Tsunade.” Nodded Jiraiya with a sigh as he continued to observe the battle between the two candidates.

In regards to Fugaku’s talent and close-quarter combat abilities, Jiraiya never once doubted them. All dojutsu users are good at Taijutsu and Kenjutsu, even if they don’t train too much, not to mention Fugaku is the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan with years of experience, his skills are definitely top-notch.

But Fugaku’s close-quarter combat skills did not worry Jiraiya, because Kakashi is no slouch either, he has what it takes to best Fugaku but Jiraiya can’t help but get worried thinking of the degree of insight displayed by Fugaku.

…

After completing a series of attacks to no avail, Kakashi disappeared and reappeared at a distance, panting lightly while looking intently at Fugaku.

On the other hand, Fugaku–with calm breathing–looked unaffected, and grinned slightly as Kakashi retreated, “So that was the extent of Flying Raijin you have mastered up until now… I must say, compared to Yondaime, you are not up to the mark yet.”

Kakashi sighed lightly as his expression became solemn. He did not expect that his attacks wouldn’t even tire Fugaku.

Kakashi expected that even if he wouldn’t able to defeat Fugaku in the first round of attacks, he would at least be able to force Fugaku to expose one or two flaws and use that to weaken his combat effectiveness.

However, things did not go as he wanted. Not only his plan failed, but he also wasted a lot of Chakra in vain.

“It appears that the burden of ‘Flying Raijin’ is not small. The anterior muscles of your left thigh and the biceps branchii of your right arm has started to spasm. Your body has yet to adapt to such high-speed spatial travel. You seemed to be overwhelmed because of the continuous use of Flying Raijin.” Said Fugaku accurately pointing out what Kakashi was trying to ignore.

Kakashi’s face darkened upon hearing the older Uchiha’s words.

The fact that Fugaku can accurately notice the state of his muscles under his shinobi gear from such a distance surprised Kakashi.

Before Kakashi could think too much, Fugaku put the Kunai back in his Shinobi bag, then started to weave the hand signs, and spurted out, ‘Fire Style: Majestic Fireball Jutsu!’

BOOM!

Instantly, a sea of fire capable of turning the entire arena into ashes surged towards Kakashi.

Different from Fugaku’s expectations, this time, Kakashi did not use Flying Raijin to avoid the sea of fire, rather, he weaved the hand signs, and slapped the ground, ‘Earth Style: Multi Mud Wall!’

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Instantly, a series of mud walls rose from the ground, blocking the sea of fire to move any further.

In the face of the Majestic Fire Ball, although the mud walls looked small, however, they did not falter, and stood upright, stopping the fire to attack Kakashi.

Fugaku’s eyes turned as he paid attention to his surroundings as two Kunai appeared in his hands. There is a strong possibility that Kakashi might use Flying Raijin using the cover provided by the two Jutsu and take him by surprise. No, rather than it being a ‘strong possibility’ Fugaku seemed certain that Kakashi would do so.

But there was no silver flash around him… Just when Fugaku thought that Kakashi might have missed this opportunity, suddenly, the ground beneath him cracked.

Crack!

And the figure of Kakashi jumped out from the crack in the ground.

“Wha–?!” Fugaku was caught off guard.

But of course, he is not so weak that he would be defeated by such a small mistake. The insight of his Sharingan allowed him to react in the nick of time, and using the Kunai in his right hand, Fugaku stabbed Kakashi.

However, Kunai pierced Kakashi something that Fugaku hadn’t expected to happen. Rather than blood lightning came out of Kakashi’s body and attacked Fugaku.

‘A Lightning Clone!? Then where is the real Hatake Kakashi?’ thought Fugaku as he tried to resist the paralysis caused by the lightning.

He did not have to wait as another sound of crack reached his ears.

Crack!

The ground behind him cracked and Kakashi’s figure jumped out of it with a Kunai in his hand. He was going straight for Fugaku’s back, attempting to deliver the finishing blow to the paralyzed Fugaku.

As Kakashi’s figure approached Fugaku’s back, the audience held their breath in nervousness and excitement.

A satisfied smile appeared on Sandaime’s wrinkled face. He is quite certain that the person standing in the arena is the real Fugaku, not a clone.

‘We won!’ Jiraiya and Tsunade thought in excitement.

Sasuke looked fearful, ‘No! Tou-san!’

Even Kakashi in the field looked elated as he approached Fugaku’s back, ‘It’s done!’

Everyone had the same thought, ‘Kakashi is the winner.’

But Kuroto didn’t think so… especially not when he saw the changing pattern in Fugaku’s eyes.

The next moment, something that no one had expected happened. A roar that shook everyone’s soul resounded through the battlefield.

ROAR!
