The two moved even faster. Many people could only stare blankly at the two blurry figures on the field.
"Ah, this... It's impossible to see clearly!"
Someone said with a helpless expression. They were no longer qualified to keep track of this kind of battle.
Because even if they watched, they couldn't make heads or tails of it.
They didn't even know how the two were attacking.
Just like the last time they watched the Outstanding Youth Ranking Tournament, in the later matches, they could only stare blankly and had to go back and buy super slow-motion recordings to watch.
These people accounted for a large portion of the audience, as they were all once ordinary people, not even ninjas.
Even though the Eight Gates Sage Ascension Technique had begun to spread, they hadn't been practicing for long, and their strength was mostly around Genin or Chunin level.
Being able to come to the scene to watch but unable to understand anything made these people feel a sense of frustration.
After all, they had worked so hard to get the tickets.
However, this frustration also transformed into motivation for their training.
After all, if they didn't train seriously, when everyone's strength increased in the future, they might not be able to watch any of the matches and would only be able to watch slow-motion recordings.
How tragic would that be?
Moreover, this was just one manifestation.
As people all over the world cultivated, there would gradually be a widening gap.
People of each strength level would lead lives specific to that level. If they remained as they were now, they might seem as slow as a turtle, as weak as a piece of paper, as clumsy as a monkey in the eyes of others in the future. They'd lose face.
In that case, they might even feel like they didn't belong to the same species as others in the future.
Just thinking about this was terrifying.
To prevent this from happening, many people firmly held onto their determination to cultivate.
Even if they couldn't reach a very high level, they had to be able to interact normally with others!
Some couldn't see the exchange between the two clearly, but naturally, some could.
Those who had reached the Jonin level could see clearly.
Although their movements still appeared somewhat blurry to them, they could at least tell whether the two were using fists or feet.
Those at the elite Jonin level watched with great interest and admiration.
"This taijutsu is impressive! It seems that for the next taijutsu competition, we can invite this little guy, Might Guy."
The head of the Taijutsu Department's eyes were shining. He saw a rising supernova in the Taijutsu Department, a future star.
With the improvement of the system, Hidden Sage Village was also adding more departments.
The former departments were divided and refined into specific departments like the Senjutsu Department, Ninjutsu Department, Genjutsu Department, Taijutsu Department, Special Abilities Department, and so on.
Might Duy was the honorary Taijutsu Master of the Taijutsu Department.
"Kakashi's use of Lightning Release has surpassed so many people. This kid is truly talented."
In the Region of Lightning, A watched Kakashi on the large screen and clicked his tongue in admiration. He was more than familiar with Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Moreover, this mode held special significance for him. He had been paying attention to the inheritance of this mode in the Sage Shinobi Nation.
Seeing Kakashi use it so skillfully and with such a high degree of completion made his eyes light up.
"Hmm, next time we meet, I'll see if I can teach Kakashi the Sage Art: Lightning Release Chakra Mode."
A muttered to himself. His Sage Art: Lightning Release Chakra Mode was becoming more and more complete.
He was confident that in another year or two, this mode would definitely become a technique no weaker than the Eight Gates Formation!
"Kakashi is indeed a good seedling. With focused training, his future achievements won't be any lower than Minato's."
Tobirama spoke, looking at Kakashi with a satisfied gaze.
He still looked to be in his 30s, as if time had stopped on his face and his body, unable to further erode his body.
Now that Tobirama had finished training Minato, he immersed himself in Senjutsu research and was rarely seen.
Just like Orochimaru, who was also immersed in research.
However, Orochimaru researched the human body, the secrets of genes, the secrets of Devil Fruits - the fundamental things.
While Tobirama researched the development of techniques, the application of things.
Although Orochimaru was immersed in research, he still enjoyed life, still savored living. His life was fulfilling, not hurried, but refined.
As for Senju Tobirama, only during the final matches of these major tournaments would one catch a glimpse of him.
"Indeed. However, it ultimately depends on the final abilities of Kakashi's Sharingan. If they aren't abilities with significant potential, then he will still be slightly inferior to Minato."
"After all, Minato's Space-Time Ninjutsu has extremely high growth potential."
Hui spoke, watching the two battling in the arena with interest.
He hadn't activated his Celestial Eye, but even with his suppressed vision, watching Kakashi and Guy's exchange was like watching things in slow motion.
Their duel appeared immature in Hui's eyes, but Hui wasn't looking at the present, but at the future.
He seemed to see that in the future, with a single punch from Guy, an extremely brilliant and glorious light would erupt.
The terrifying fist would form horrifying shockwaves, and with one punch, an entire fleet of spaceships would be instantly destroyed.
He seemed to see that in the future, Kakashi would stand atop the heavens.
With a wave of his hand, the boundless purple lightning would form a sea of thunder. Under the pouring thunder, everything would be instantly annihilated.
Such a scene would definitely happen.
It was just that this time might be a bit far off.
Back to the duel, Kakashi and Guy were still constantly attacking each other.
Guy was using various taijutsu techniques, some inherited from his father, some he was exploring and creating himself, but most were learned from Hui.
As for why Hui would teach him taijutsu, that story began one evening when Might Duy, leading a three-year-old Might Guy, encountered Hui.
As for Kakashi, his entire being now seemed to have transformed into lightning, his body flickering with white light, lightning coursing through him.
In one hand, he wielded a short sword, and in the other, purple lightning surged.
Sword energy crisscrossed, and lightning danced.
Their battle caused significant damage to the entire arena.
Various sword marks and craters of all sizes littered the ground.
At a certain moment, the two clashed in a final collision.
Kakashi stood against a half-collapsed earth wall, the lightning in his hand bursting with intense light.
He raised his hand, and the lightning discharged from it, emitting a series of piercing bird cries.
But these cries merged, eventually forming a unified sound, surprisingly the cry of a phoenix.
Above Kakashi's hand, the lightning had coalesced into a shape, a gigantic white and purple phoenix.
On the other side, far below Kakashi, Guy, enduring the pain in his body, formed a special seal with his hands. Air compressed, combining with Guy's Senjutsu chakra, forming a translucent white dragon head.
"Dragon Fist!"
"Chidori: Phoenix!"
Amidst the roars of the dragon and the cries of the phoenix, the dragon and the phoenix charged fiercely towards each other!
