'Shiranui Yuuji... won'
'He actually won against Hatake Kakashi!'
In the Hokage building, several higher-ups were stunned.
Especially Minato, who was ready to use the Flying Thunder God to stop Kakashi, was stunned.
For a moment, the entire office was filled with silence.
"I thought that Yuuji would not lose to Kakashi, but I did not expect that he had already grown to this stage..." Minato revealed a bitter smile. His gaze towards the crystal ball was filled with admiration and admiration.
'I miscalculated. I have observed Kakashi for a long time and accepted him as a disciple, but he actually lost to Yuuji just like that? Moreover, it was in such a way that there was no suspense to turn the tables...;'
'Yuuji, what an amazing child. Kakashi, you have met your opponent.'
"Minato, it seems that you don't need to save the fight. The strongest duel of the new generation has ended." Sandaime Hokage took a puff of his pipe and smiled.
'It's too excellent. The descendant of Shiranui's family, with a clean background, parents are the heroes of Konoha, and he is diligent enough to wake up a whole new Blood Succession Boundary. The main point is that his thinking level is impeccable. Now, even the speed of converting talent into strength is so amazing.'
'This kind of child could be regarded as the benchmark of the new generation.'
"Then I will go and separate them now..." Minato was about to move but was stopped by Sandaime Hokage.
"No, Minato, look again."
"What? But now, Yuuji... can kill Kakashi at any time, especially when he was inexplicably provoked and humiliated. What if..."
Sandaime just looked at the crystal ball silently. There was a trace of hesitation in his heart. After all, the life of a super-genius like Kakashi was extremely precious. He stared at Yuuji's face in the crystal ball.
'What will you do?'
'You have the power to live and die. In a situation where your emotions are unstable, Yuuji, what will you do?'
'This is the last observation. If you can pass this step…'
...
"Yuuji... actually defeated Kakashi?"
Outside the training ground.
Genma was stunned. Even though his face was bruised and swollen, his eyes were wide open as he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. He didn't even know how Kakashi lost. The five-year-old super student who graduated and created the legend of Konoha... actually lost to his own kind? And the technique that Yuuji used, he has never seen it before...
Genma looked at Yuuji, who raised Kakashi up high, and his mind was in a trance. Unconsciously, this guy had grown to this step, directly defeating a monster-like genius like Kakashi.
"I have already said that Yuuji-san is the strongest in our generation! He, definitely, will not lose!" Guy clenched his fists.
He was the only one who was full of confidence in Yuuji. After many years of interaction, his mind was full of trust and obedience towards Zetsu.
At this moment, the impact that Yuuji brought to Genma and the others was unprecedented. The legendary Kakashi was defeated by the crane in the past in a duel.
...
In the training ground, Yuuji grabbed Kakashi by the neck and held this guy up with a calm expression.
For a moment, Yuuji really considered giving Kakashi a painful lesson that he would regret for the rest of his life.
"How could this be? How did you do it...?" Kakashi said with difficulty.
Chidori that he had gathered with the last of his Chakra exploded and shattered on the spot.
At this moment, Kakashi was more fragile than ever, and the sense of insecurity in his heart was magnified to the extreme.
Facing Yuuji's cold gaze and feeling the signs of his body burning, Kakashi felt a sense of helplessness and despair that he had not felt for a long time.
How long had it been since he had felt this way?
"You must be very lonely, right?" Yuuji formed a hand seal and said indifferently.
Ever since he lost his father, he vented all of his unwillingness and resentment on himself, not hesitating to freeze himself and treat his companions coldly.
When Kakashi lost his father, he probably felt this way too, right?
"Heh, how boring. Why did you mention that useless man? He was just a laughable loser. He clearly could complete the mission, but in the end, he chose to give up. He was just a piece of trash..."
Pa!
Yuuji slapped him.
A crisp sound was heard.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
"Is this what you want to say? You call the hero of World War II, your beloved father a waste... Kakashi, is this conclusion you came to after losing your father for three years?"
"What do you know? Ninja only needs to complete the mission. He is obviously so powerful, but he directly abandoned me and chose to commit suicide. What is so worthwhile about such a fragile and incompetent guy..."
Pa!
Another slap.
This time, Yuuji directly pressed Kakashi to the ground. In silence, he punched fiercely one after another.
"Kakashi, you have made a mistake. Your father never owes you anything. His choice may not be recognized by everyone, but he has been deeply in love with you from the beginning to the end..."
"If you only know how to respond without hatred… You are not worthy to be your father's son. You are not worthy to bear the name of White Fang."
Yuuji was expressionless, punching and punching. Kakashi's face was swollen and blood splashed.
"What is more terrifying is that you hate your father, but at the same time, you transfer this hatred to your companion."
"Genma has never hurt you. It's just that your strength and ambition don't match, and you forced yourself to do something that seems mature but is actually childish. But you used cold-blooded and heartless way to repay him, just because this fool deceived you..."
"Kakashi, aren't you even more childish and ridiculous like this? What kind of ability is it to only know how to hate yourself and drive your own rationality and behavior?"
"If you really think you can control yourself, then try... hate me!"
Bang!
Yuuji punched hard on the ground next to Kakashi's head.
After a loud noise, a fist print appeared on the ground…
"Hate... you?" Kakashi was confused. His inhuman face was full of numbness. His eyes stared blankly at the sky.
White clouds floated under the blue sky.
At this moment, the arrogance in his heart was torn apart by Yuuji in this way. His talent and strength were not as powerful as he imagined.
"Yes, hatred will always be the theme of this chaotic world. Just thinking about it is a headache... Since you are so at a loss, then give me all your will." Yuuji said lightly. He put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked out of the training ground.
At this moment, Kakashi's empty eyes reflected Yuuji's back.
'Hate... hate?'
'Really, how could such a crazy guy exist in the village, and even said some inexplicable words. With such a guy, it was obviously more troublesome.'
Kakashi lay on the ground.
A certain wonderful seed had been planted, quietly waiting for the moment when it was born.
