Naruto: People are in Konoha, the system arrived 20 years earlier Chapter 027

The final exam officially began, and the duel between Hayato and Kakashi was like the collision of two brilliant stars, instantly igniting the passion of the entire examination hall.

The two first engaged in a passionate taijutsu exchange, their movements swift and powerful, back and forth, like an elegant dance. Clearly, they were still in the probing stage and had not yet used their full strength.

After a simple exchange of fists and kicks, Kakashi’s figure flashed, and he quickly pulled out a sharp kunai from his waist, launching another fierce attack at Hayato.

Playing with weapons, who’s afraid of whom?

Hayato was not to be outdone, calmly taking out an equally sharp kunai from his ninja pouch.

Their kunai clashed instantly, and the clanging sound of metal colliding was incessant.

Sparks flew between the crossing kunai, like fireworks blooming in the night sky, brilliant and fleeting, demonstrating their solid basic skills and profound ninjutsu cultivation.

“Let’s end this boring probing,” Hayato said with a faint smile, then quickly retreated, pulling away from Kakashi, preparing to unleash more powerful ninjutsu.

After retreating about ten meters from Kakashi, Hayato quickly formed hand signs and let out a low cry.

“Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!”

Instantly, a huge fireball, about two meters in diameter, spewed out from Hayato’s mouth.

Carrying scorching heat, it was like a burning meteor, streaking across the sky, whistling towards Kakashi.

This scene immediately drew exclamations and admiration from the audience.

They discussed amongst themselves, “Oh my god, is that Fire Style ninjutsu? It’s amazing, truly worthy of being a genius of the Uchiha clan.”

On the other side, facing Hayato’s Great Fireball, Kakashi appeared calm and composed.

After all, this wasn’t the first time he had seen Hayato use this jutsu, and he already had a countermeasure in mind.

As if he had rehearsed it many times in his mind, Kakashi quickly formed hand signs, then spouted a stream of water like a brook from his mouth.

“Water Style: Water Colliding Wave!”

The water column directly hit the center of the Great Fireball, instantly extinguishing the flames in the middle of the fireball and opening a path.

A thin mist also wafted through the scene, as if one were in a wonderland.

This scene once again astonished the audience, who marveled at Kakashi’s strength and wisdom.

In the stands, Obito witnessed this and muttered to himself, “What? So Kakashi has also learned such powerful ninjutsu. In that case, the outcome is truly unpredictable.”

He had originally thought Kakashi was slightly inferior to Hayato, but now it seemed that their strengths were evenly matched, and the outcome was still unknown.

Hiruzen, watching the two agile figures in the arena, couldn’t help but sigh, “Both are exceptionally talented geniuses.”

To have mastered ninjutsu above E-rank at this age, their talent was evident. With careful nurturing, they would surely become important forces in protecting Konoha in the future.

Regardless of how shocked and admiring the people outside the arena were of their battle, the two inside were completely immersed in their fight.

Their eyes were filled with determination and resolve, as if they wanted to utterly defeat each other.

“That move of yours won’t work on me, Hayato,” Kakashi said confidently. He knew Hayato’s strength but was not afraid.

Hayato’s lips curved slightly, and there was no hint of frustration on his face due to the ninjutsu’s failure.

He also understood that if a single Great Fireball could win the match, then the opponent wouldn’t be Kakashi.

He knew that this battle had only just begun, and the real struggle was yet to come.

Seeing that Hayato didn’t respond, Kakashi’s eyes deepened, as if he could see through everything.

“This time, it’s my turn to attack.” Kakashi quickly formed hand signs.

He quickly formed hand signs again and let out a low cry: “Earth Style: Earth Flow River.”

The ground beneath Hayato’s feet became as soft as flowing water, his body swaying with it, losing balance, as if about to fall.

Kakashi seized the opportunity to form hand signs again, unleashing “Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu.”

In the stands, Obito was ecstatic: “Kakashi is going to succeed!”

Although he was also shocked by Kakashi’s strength, he felt honored to see Kakashi win.

Hayato’s excellence had always been like a great mountain pressing down on them.

Now that someone could finally cross this great mountain for them, he was also excited.

If Kakashi could succeed, did that mean that one day, he could too?

“Go, Kakashi!” Rin cheered from the side.

On the other side, Kurenai looked at Hayato with some worry, clutching her skirt, silently praying for him.

Shuichi looked at the battlefield with concern and asked Hiruzen, “Hokage-sama, do we need to stop them?”

The battle between the two had exceeded the scope of the Ninja Academy, and a slight misstep could have disastrous consequences.

However, Hiruzen shook his head, his gaze firmly fixed on Hayato: “That child has not yet lost.”

He saw no panic on Hayato’s face.

And indeed, while Hayato was initially surprised, he quickly adjusted his state, using the Water Walking technique to stabilize himself.

He looked at the flowing land and smiled, “This place has become a conductor too, hasn’t it?” Then he formed hand signs, and indigo-blue electrical arcs flashed in his hands.

Just then, Kakashi suddenly struck, grabbing Hayato’s calf, and confidently shouted, “I win!”

“Not necessarily!” Hayato said calmly.

“Lightning Style: Ground Flash!”

An indigo-blue electrical arc, like a blue snake, burrowed into the ground, hitting Kakashi.

Kakashi’s body trembled, struck by the current, and then shot out from underground, his face slightly pale.

“You’re still far from it, Kakashi!” Kakashi’s entire body was exposed in front of Hayato. Hayato seized the opportunity to close in, raising his hands.

“Eight Extremities: Twenty-Four Forms!”

Instantly, punches rained down on Kakashi like buckshot, each punch containing immense power, knocking Kakashi to the ground, rendering him unable to fight.

This sudden reversal of the battle left the students present dumbfounded.

“What happened? Wasn’t Kakashi at an advantage just now? How did Hayato defeat him in the blink of an eye?” Obito asked in shock.

Rin, with her sharp eyes, noticed, “Hayato seemed to have used another Lightning Style ninjutsu just now, he’s amazing.”

Kurenai looked at the victorious Hayato, a hint of joy first appearing on her face, followed by a flicker of worry.

“It seems the gap in strength between me and Hayato is growing. If this continues, we’ll become people from different worlds. Can I still stand by Hayato’s side?”

It wasn’t just the students watching who were surprised; Shuichi was also very surprised.

He had just been wondering if he needed to stop the battle, but Hayato’s movements were too fast, ending before he could react.

He quickly entered the arena to check on Kakashi’s condition.

Fortunately, Hayato had excellent control; Kakashi had only fainted and was not seriously injured.

After calling a couple of medical personnel to carry Kakashi away, Shuichi announced the final result.

“The winner is Uchiha Hayato!”

After the announcement, the audience spontaneously applauded and cheered.

They did not belittle Kakashi for his defeat; instead, they admired both their strength and talent even more.

They knew that this kind of battle was beyond what they could do now.

But they all looked forward to the day when they too could stand on stage like Hayato and showcase their strength.

Hayato, as number one, continued to increase his prestige.

After a brief commotion, Hiruzen entered the arena, looking at the vibrant young children with a benevolent smile.

“Children, the future of Konoha belongs to you. As long as you continue to work hard and strive forward, you will surely become pillars of Konoha.”

His words encouraged everyone present, strengthening their beliefs and resolve.
