Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the arena; it was Obito's voice.

"Watermelon Head, go for it! You have to beat that idiot Kakashi to a pulp!!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Kai flashed two rows of bright teeth at Obito and gave him a thumbs-up.

"Yo-shi, thanks for the encouragement, Runtu!"

"Baka! My name is Uchiha Obito! Uchiha Obito!!"

At this moment, Haneda reminded him, "Kai, be careful, Kakashi has become much stronger too."

"OK!" Kai smiled confidently. Under Orochimaru's guidance, he had also learned some strange and unusual ninjutsu.

Although he didn't know the underlying principle, as long as it worked and was easy to use, that was enough.

After Haneda and Rin left, the referee raised the small red flag, announcing the start of the match:

"Kakashi Hatake vs. Might Guy, the ninja battle begins!"

…………

Chapter 116 Kakashi vs. Guy

As the flag fell, Kai mercilessly kicked Kakashi horizontally.

"Konoha Tornado!"

"Take this, Kakashi!"

Kakashi dodged with a backflip.

He knew that Guy's forte was taijutsu, so as long as he created distance, he could use shuriken and ninjutsu to deal with him.

Kai kicked the ground hard, kicking up dust. Just then, he suddenly smiled and kicked a stone off the ground, sending it hurtling towards Kakashi.

Hidden by the dust, Kakashi didn't notice it immediately.

He had no choice but to block with a kunai, but Guy had already teleported in front of Kakashi and kicked again.

"Konoha's great whirlwind!"

Kakashi dodged with a substitute, quickly forming hand seals in mid-air, and spewing out clusters of flames resembling balsam flowers from his mouth.

At the same time, Kakashi threw out several shuriken, which merged with the flames and continued to attack Guy.

This is an advanced application of the Fire Release: Balsam Flower Technique – Balsam Flower Claw Red!

Kai's body couldn't possibly withstand a shuriken moving at high speed, especially since the shuriken was also scorched by flames.

He moved quickly to the side, throwing away the shuriken one by one.

Due to inertia, the shuriken that had been flung away fell to the ground.

But Kakashi wasn't going to waste his time. While Guy was dodging the shuriken, he used Lightning Instantaneous Movement to quickly close in on him.

Zizizi! !

Chidori shrieked in Kai's ear, and Kai, without dodging, was hit head-on.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from below Kai and grabbed Kakashi's right hand as he unleashed Chidori.

Previously, Kai's body had turned into a clump of skin and landed on the ground.

"Got you, Kakashi!" Guy exclaimed excitedly.

He grabbed Kakashi, spun him around, and finally flung him into the air, sending him crashing down towards the edge of the battlefield.

The spectators in the stands sighed as they watched Kakashi's impending defeat.

In this atmosphere, Obito immediately cheered:

"Well done, Watermelon Head! That's how you give Kakashi a good beating!!"

Lin looked at Kakashi with concern, thinking that with Gai's strength, Kakashi would likely be injured by this attack.

Haneda frowned, but then suddenly smiled after opening his three-tomoe Sharingan.

At that very moment, Kakashi, who had been flung away, vanished into smoke the instant he hit the wall.

A hand emerged from the ground and grabbed Kai's calf.

"I caught you, Kai."

Kakashi's figure reappeared; it was undoubtedly a shadow clone that had just made the move.

His true form was hidden underground using the Rock Concealment Technique, only appearing when another shadow clone grabbed Kai.

Cautious, steady, and resourceful have always been Kakashi's fighting style.

At this moment, cheers erupted from the stands. Kakashi, holding a kunai to the back of Guy's neck, calmly said:

"Admit defeat, Kai, you are no match for me."

Seeing this, Kai muttered to himself:

"I didn't originally intend to use that move..."

A snake swiftly extended from his right hand, circled around Kakashi's neck in his blind spot, and bit off the kunai.

Suddenly, Kai's aura intensified, and pale green steam appeared on his body, indicating that his chakra was surging!

"Fourth Gate—Injury Gate! Open!!"

Kai, dragging his shadow clone with his right leg, kicked Kakashi with all his might.

The shadow clone was thrown out, its speed too fast for Kakashi to dodge.

Fortunately, the shadow clone disappeared into smoke when it touched Kakashi.

This prevented Kakashi from suffering further harm.

But at that moment, Guy moved again. His speed surpassed even the Body Flicker Technique, and he directly circled behind Kakashi.

"Konoha's powerful whirlwind!"

"Welcome my youth, Kakashi!!"

Seeing this, Kakashi's gaze narrowed slightly.

He quickly formed hand seals, and a wall of earth carved with a dog's head rose from the ground, blocking Kai's heavy kick.

"Originally, I didn't want to reveal some of my methods..."

"Kai, you've gotten a lot stronger too, but unfortunately, like Haneda, I'm even stronger than you!"

Having said that, Kakashi no longer concealed his strength.

He drew the short sword from his back, and the chirping of a thousand birds covered the blade.

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

The light of the Thousand Bird Blade burst forth from the earthen wall; if Kai hadn't dodged quickly, the attack would have pierced his thigh.

But Kakashi's attack was far from over.

The Thousand Bird Blade in his hand transformed into the Thousand Bird Sharp Spear, and with a flash of lightning, the earthen wall was completely cut open.

Even with his surging chakra providing passive protection, Kai was still hit by the sweeping Chidori Sharp Spear.

Instantly, a two-millimeter-deep bloodstain appeared on Kai's chest, and blood splattered out.

"Shall we fight again, Kai? I'm worried I won't be able to stop."

Kakashi flicked his sword, and with a flourish, he tilted the short sword to the ground and slowly walked towards Guy.

"In that case, I'll give it my all!"

"I originally planned to save this move for Haneda!"

Kai crossed his arms and stretched them out forcefully.

"Eight Gates Formation, Fifth Gate, Gate of Closure, Open!!"

After saying that, Kai's aura surged once again.

Once the gate is open, Kai's speed is enough to move the air and shake the ground!

Using the scientific running method Orochimaru taught him, he met Kakashi with a powerful kick.

"This is the strongest attack I can unleash right now, Leaf Village Great Power Whirlwind!"

"Let's make our youth without regrets, Kakashi!!"

The force of this attack caused the air to move, forming an air wave that rushed towards Kakashi.

This scene caused the audience to unconsciously hold their breath.

Even Pakura from Sunagakure couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"Such momentum and strength, Konoha is indeed full of talented people."

"Besides the two prodigies, Uchiha Haneda and Hatake Kakashi, there's also Might Guy."

Ye Cang sighed as he thought of Scorpion, the only prominent young man in the village, leaving the village:

"The younger generation, Sunagakure has truly lost miserably."
