Chapter 63 A draw, a tiebreaker between the teachers
"So, who's going to play in the second round?" Kakashi asked, glancing meaningfully at Ishikawa.
Ishikawa's victory was unexpected, especially considering his opponent was Hyuga Neji, who mastered Gentle Fist. However, the fact that he could overcome a stronger opponent through intelligence and tactics showed he had the makings of a ninja!
Well, as expected of a disciple recognized by Kakashi Hatake.
"I'll do it! I'll do it! I never expected Ishikawa to defeat the genius Neji. It seems I now have two targets to chase." Lee shouted excitedly, looking at Tarojiro with burning eyes.
"You think you can catch up with geniuses? You're too naive, Lee." Jiro shouted unhappily and stepped forward first.
Xiao Li was a notorious bottom-of-the-class student in his class, so of course he felt it was his duty to teach him a lesson and let him know that there was an insurmountable mountain between geniuses and bottom-of-the-class students!
"A loser should just stay a loser. If geniuses were so easy to catch up with, there wouldn't be such a thing as geniuses! Do you think you're our big brother Ishikawa? Stop dreaming..." Taro echoed with disdain, not caring about Jiro's participation in the battle.
It's a best-of-three series anyway. The older brother has already won, and the younger brother's defeat is inevitable.
Class 7 is definitely going to win!
"Damn it! Even if I'm the worst student, I'll catch up with Neji and Ishikawa through hard work and sweat. I'll prove to you with my actions that even without ninjutsu and genjutsu, I can still become an excellent ninja." Lee was furious after being mocked by the two.
"That kid seems to have a bit of your spirit, Guy." Kakashi couldn't help but turn around, images of Guy as a child flashing through his mind. "Who knows, he might actually win..."
"Are you acknowledging Lee, Kakashi?" Might Guy was immediately excited and enthusiastic; Lee was his most respected disciple.
Kakashi didn't answer; instead, he stepped forward to stand in front of Rock Lee. "Let's form the seal of opposition!"
"Begin." As the two completed their hand seals, Kakashi gave the order and vanished.
"Leaf Whirlwind..." Almost the instant Kakashi left, Lee unleashed a powerful side kick to take the initiative.
"That's too childish." Jiro casually parried without flinching, but the moment their legs and elbows clashed, Jiro's expression suddenly changed.
The next second, he was kicked away by a brute force, staggering back several steps...
"Such immense strength!" Jiro exclaimed in surprise, his face turning pale as he felt the intense pain in his arm.
This scene caused Ishikawa Taro's pupils to shrink and his expression to change slightly!
Knowing the plot, Ishikawa was even more horrified. Could it be that Lee was already undergoing weight training?
No, it seems he remembered it wrong! It seems that Rock Lee had already caught Might Guy's attention during his time at the Ninja Academy, and by then he had been training in taijutsu for many years.
"As you all said, I may not be a good ninja because I don't know ninjutsu or genjutsu. But because of that, I can put all my energy into taijutsu tenfold or a hundredfold. Today is the day I show the results of my training!" Just then, Lee suddenly spoke with a firm and resolute voice.
The next instant, without giving Jiro a chance to reply, he lunged forward again and delivered a heavy punch.
"A loser is a loser, no matter how hard you try, you can't change reality!" Enraged by Lee's attack, Jiro unleashed chakra to create distance and formed hand seals.
"This... is the insurmountable gap between us." With the hand seals complete, Jiro roared and unleashed his full power, "Water Release: Water Chaos Wave..."
"Damn it, this idiot." Almost the instant Jiro activated his Water Release technique, Ishikawa covered his face, unable to bear watching any longer.
Do you think you're the second Hokage? Using Water Release in a dry place, if Rock Lee can withstand this attack, the outcome is obvious!
As Ishikawa predicted, Jiro's Water Release technique was successfully executed in a waterless area, but the amount of chakra consumed was clearly disproportionate to the amount of water released.
Although the five-meter-wide water column was quite intimidating, it did not harm him at all due to Xiao Li's speed; it only blocked him for a moment and made him swallow a few mouthfuls of water!
On the contrary, Jiro, who had exhausted his chakra, was seized upon by Lee, who relentlessly attacked him until he was bruised and battered and soon surrendered.
This ending was unexpected not only by Jirotaro, but also by the person involved, Lee.
He originally thought that even after years of training in taijutsu, he would still be no match for Jiro, but he never expected that the other party would be so weak after losing his chakra!
In that instant, the deep-seated inferiority complex in Xiao Li's heart quietly crumbled. It was replaced by confidence and fervor for hard work; he realized that hard work truly could help him surpass himself…
"You guys really don't act like ninjas in battle at all!" Kakashi glanced at Jiro and Rock Lee speechlessly, then shook his head and announced the start of the third round.
Compared to the fight between Ishikawa Neji, the fight between the two of them was more like a children's game, too childish!
"I never expected things to turn out this way when victory seemed assured. Jiro, you've disappointed me and my brother so much! It seems that now it's up to me to turn the tide." With Ishikawa speechless, Taro confidently stepped forward to face Tenten.
In response, Ishikawa could only sigh helplessly and secretly pray that the rich woman wouldn't carry too many ninja tools with her.
otherwise……
"A barrage of hidden weapons..."
As fate would have it, after a few exchanges of hand-to-hand combat with Taro, Tenten retreated to create distance, opened the scroll, and activated her money ability.
In an instant, a barrage of gleaming ninja tools rained down on Taro like a storm. After a series of perilous dodges, Taro saw Tenten pull out another scroll and surrendered without a second thought.
He didn't even have time to use his only signature Fire Release technique, making him even less skilled than Jiro...
"I'm sorry, big brother." Taro, his face pale, came to Ishikawa and bowed his head in shame.
It's not that he doesn't want to continue, but the daily attacks are too terrifying! This isn't real combat, making it so dangerous is simply outrageous.
“Best of three, so Kakashi wins the second match, resulting in a tie. Kakashi, how about we call it a day?” Kakashi asked calmly as Taro apologized with shame.
"A draw? How can a duel end so hastily, Kakashi?" Might Guy rejected Kakashi's suggestion without hesitation, then stared intently at Kakashi.
[Oh no! Could it be...?] Kakashi's expression changed the moment he saw Kai's burning gaze, realizing something was wrong.
"Kakashi, since this is a class showdown, let us, as teachers, have the final showdown. Tell me, whether it's a physical combat contest, a 100-meter sprint, or even diving, I can satisfy your every whim."
Seeing Might Guy's enthusiastic and excited roar, Kakashi's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought." Guy's fighting spirit has been ignited by those kids; there's no way he can run now!
So……
