The black shadow shuttled through the alleyways and rooftops at an extremely fast speed.
Flowing Cloud and Kakashi chased after him for a while. When they reached a street, they completely lost their target.
"What is that thing?"
"I didn't see clearly." Kakashi replied.
"Hey, where are you guys looking at?" A voice came from the roof.
Kakashi and Flowing Cloud looked in the direction of the voice and saw a youth around ten years old squatting on the roof. He had short white hair that covered his left eye. His skin was dark, and his arms were tattooed with the words " water " and " thunder." He wore a simple gray ninja suit and stared coldly at Kakashi.
"I am Dalui from Hidden Cloud Village. You should be Whitetooth Woodleaf's son, Hatake Kakashi, right?”Dalui asked.
Kakashi nodded. Similar to Darui, his face was cold and his eyes were ice-cold.
Whoosh! Without another word, Darui drew the long blade on his back and charged at Kakashi.
Kakashi pulled out his father's relic, a short blade, and swung it to meet the attack.
Clang! Sparks flew everywhere, and the two of them were in a stalemate.
Liu Yun felt that this was a battle between the two of them. It was probably just a spar. He consciously withdrew from the battle and stood on the roof to watch the battle.
Chi chi! A flash of lightning appeared on Darouy's long blade. Kakashi quickly retracted his blade and kicked out.
Darouy dodged the attack and similarly put away his long blade. He punched and kicked, but Kakashi blocked all of them. He then used his knee to strike straight into Kakashi's abdomen. Bang! It was the clone that was resisting.
Dalui was surprised but did not panic. He lowered his body to avoid the sneak attack from behind and quickly formed a seal with his hands.
"Lightning Evasion-Electric Current."
Lightning flashed in his palm. This was a C-grade ninjutsu technique that used lightning to increase its attack power. It did not consume much chakra, but it was very useful when it came to physical attacks.
It only took one second for him to form a seal and activate the ninjutsu. He was very fast.
Kakashi was caught off guard by the attack, and he barely managed to dodge the palm that was covered in lightning. However, a bloody scar was still left on his cheek, and a trace of blood flowed out.
Covered in electricity, Darouy's hand was as sharp as a blade.
The two of them retreated, and the situation was once again in a stalemate.
Kakashi gritted his teeth. He was extremely furious about his earlier defeat, but he still maintained his calm temperament. He absolutely could not panic at this moment. The more he panicked, the more flaws he would have.
Flowing Cloud, who was standing on the roof, took in the details of the battle and analyzed it. In terms of agility and speed, Kakashi was still a little behind Darui. However, in terms of reaction speed and battle intelligence, Kakashi was far above Darui. If not for his battle intelligence and reaction speed, Kakashi would have already lost.
Kakashi's weakness was similar to Flowing Cloud's intense battle with Kakadu. Both were due to his speed and agility being too weak, causing many ninjutsu to be unable to link up, and thus unable to plan a strategy.
However, Flowing Cloud was facing a Shadow Grade enemy, while Kakashi was facing Hidden Cloud Village's Ninja Darui.
Liu Yun looked at the black shadow that was rushing over not far away and muttered to himself,"The patrol team of Sharen Village is very strong, they were discovered so quickly.”
He shouted at Kakashi and Dalui,"Hey, the patrol team is about to arrive. Do you still want to play such a boring game?”
"This fellow." Kakashi gritted his teeth. He was facing a genius from Hidden Cloud Village, yet he had actually called it a game.
Darouy was very dissatisfied with Liu Yun's words and coldly said,"If you think this is a game, then we can play this game too.”
"Tsk, you're too weak. I'm not interested in such a boring game.”Liu Yun looked at Kakashi and said," We've already violated the rules. If we're caught red-handed, we'll be disqualified from the assessment. Kakashi, if you're not leaving, I'll leave first."”
Whoosh! Liu Yun slipped away first.
It wasn't easy for them to come here, and no one wanted to be disqualified from the assessment. Kakashi also prepared to leave.
Before Kakashi left, Dalui said,""Kakashi, you disappoint me.”
Kakashi ignored him and retreated from Flowing Cloud's direction.
Ever since Kakashi entered the Ninja Academy, he had revealed his outstanding talent. Coupled with his reputation as a genius, Kakashi's name had long since spread throughout the various countries. The higher-ups of the various countries believed that he could surpass Hatake Shuohei and become a pillar of support for Koba.
Darui had been highly appreciated by the third generation of Thunder Shadow since he was a child. He was heavily nurtured and was the right-hand man of the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow. His reputation in Hidden Cloud Village was not any worse than Kakashi's, but his reputation in the entire Ninja Realm was not as good as Kakashi's because he did not have an outstanding father like Hatsuki Shuoshi.
In this era, one's reputation depended on one's father. Flowing Cloud's father had died early. He was a Ten-Thousand-Year Enduring, and his strength was low. Thus, Flowing Cloud did not receive any attention. Even though he had obtained first place in the Ninja School's graduation assessment and performed well in several missions, he only had a certain reputation in Muye. If he wanted to surpass Kakashi in terms of reputation, he would need to perform even more outstandingly.
A patrol team of several Chuunins rushed to the scene. From the footprints on the ground, it could be seen that a fight had just taken place here, but the people had already run away, so there was no way to investigate.
……
The next day, the Chuunin assessment began.
The first round of assessment was still the same as before. For the written assessment, all the students entered a large training ground. There were two large screens erected on the training ground, with the tick and the cross drawn on them.
This written test was hosted by Sharen Village's Shangren Feng Luo. He was the personal guard of the fourth generation Windshade.
There were 20 Chuunin guards in the examination hall to maintain order, and three Jounin guards to suppress the situation. All personnel unrelated to the examination were not allowed to enter.
Norifune, Dai, Okami, Kurohiko, Red Bean, and Ibiki Mori sat on the high platform, looking forward to their students 'performance. Beside them were the special Jounin Hiraoka Yoshikawa of the Thunder Country, Riko Matsue of the Jounin, the Jounin Demon Leech of the Iwajin Village, Naruto of the Water Country, and Maki of the Wind Country. Yinren Village unexpectedly had a student taking part in the assessment this year, and there was even a teacher who was here to guide the students, but no one present recognized this person.
The other Ninja villages did not send Jounin, probably because there were too few students.
Other than the ninjas, many villagers from Sharen Village came to watch. Since there was no need for tickets and they could watch the exciting Chuunin assessment, there were quite a number of people.
Yoshikawa Hiraoka of the Thunder Country smiled and said,""Muye's Flash Wave Feng Shui Sect. I didn't expect him to be so young. Muye has three groups of students this year. It seems that Muye's descendants are still very outstanding.”
"I just want the students to come and practice."”
"Mm, not bad. The Chuunin test is a rare opportunity to train. Your disciple Kakashi is here as well, right? I wonder if he's more outstanding or if my disciple Darui is better.”Yoshikawa laughed, his words full of provocation.
