Chapter 46 - Victory

"This is really troublesome. Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique!"

The wind blade cut through one of the Water Fang Bullets. As the other one came flying, Seisuke didn't plan to resist it head - on. "Blaze Ascent Fence!"

A wall of fire rose up, blocking the Water Fang Bullet. Just then, Kakashi charged out with his sword.

Seisuke immediately took out a kunai, and the two clashed.

Their battle left many people stunned. No one expected that these two young Konoha ninjas would have such strength. Were they really genin?

Was this the power of Konoha's ninjas?

Yotsuki felt rather complicated. She never thought that Seisuke's strength would be so great. If he had used this power when they fought, she wouldn't have stood a chance. But how could he use so many ninjutsu without hand - seals?

She noticed that whenever it came to Fire Release, Seisuke never formed hand - seals. Could he also be a Kekkei Genkai ninja?

For a moment, she couldn't figure it out.

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched the two fighting below with satisfaction. These two could be considered the future of Konoha. Seisuke was Orochimaru's disciple, which meant he was a direct descendant of the Hokage. If trained well in the future, even if he couldn't become the Hokage, he would at least reach the Kage - level.

And Kakashi, this child's talent was no less than that of his father!

If he grew up normally, it was very likely that he would become the next White Fang of Konoha.

Down below, Seisuke and Kakashi were evenly matched in taijutsu. Although Seisuke's swordsmanship was inferior to Kakashi's, he was no slouch in taijutsu. At the same time, snakes would emerge from his body to attack Kakashi, keeping him on his guard.

Clang!

The two separated. Seisuke threw away the kunai with a notch in his hand and said, "Kakashi, as expected of you. Your strength is formidable, but I won't lose to you."

As he spoke, flames ignited on his right foot!

"Come on!"

Kakashi took a breath. His chakra consumption had exceeded his expectations, but it was enough to defeat Seisuke.

Seisuke leaped high into the air and kicked towards Kakashi with great force!

"Take this, Lariat Kick!!!"

The flames on his leg grew more intense, like a falling fireball. It was extremely fast and impossible to dodge. Kakashi narrowed his eyes, clapped his hands together, and said, "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall Technique!"

A wall of earth rose up, but Seisuke kicked it to pieces. In the cloud of dust, a sharp blade was placed against Seisuke's neck. "Don't move. You lose!"

"No, you lose!"

Seisuke said with a smile. His body turned into flames, and he slapped Kakashi's chest with his palm. Kakashi flew out and hit the wall. Before he could catch his breath, he spun around to dodge an attack.

Boom!

Seisuke's foot kicked the wall beside him, creating a large dent.

Kakashi seized the opportunity and punched Seisuke in the chest, making him stagger backwards.

Seisuke covered his chest. He hadn't elementalized, so he took the blow directly.

This guy was several times more difficult to deal with than the Cloud Ninja jonin last time!

The main reason was that Seisuke didn't dare to use the "Ultra Bomb" (assuming this is a made - up powerful move in this context). He was afraid of killing Kakashi. Otherwise, this battle would have ended long ago.

"Again!"

Seisuke didn't give Kakashi a chance to think about tactics. He wouldn't either. This guy was really smart. Given more time, he might end up losing, and he didn't want that.

All - out attack!

This was the only way that suited him.

"Water Release: Water Turbulence!"

"Sun Flame!"

The battle between Seisuke and Kakashi continued, and they were still evenly matched.

"Damn it. Is Kakashi this powerful when he has enough chakra?"

He didn't expect that Kakashi, with an abundant supply of chakra, could be this good at fighting. His swordsmanship, ninjutsu, and taijutsu were all flawless. Growing up like this, becoming the next White Fang of Konoha was a certainty.

As expected of someone who could become the Sixth Hokage in the future.

However, I won't lose either!

I just need to... increase the firepower!

"Hah! Fire Fist!"

With a low shout, he threw a punch, and a huge flaming fist flew straight towards Kakashi.

"Earth Release: Multiple Earth Flow Walls!"

One earth wall after another rose up, barely blocking the Fire Fist.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

A group of Seisukes charged out. One of them was completely engulfed in flames. Seeing this, Kakashi was shocked. He had seen this move before. Its destructive power was terrifying. Was this guy going to use this move against him?

Many of the shadow clones were in the same state. Kakashi wanted to use Water Release but didn't have enough time. Did he have to face it head - on?

While weighing the pros and cons in his mind, the shadow clones exploded, turning into balls of fire that blocked his vision.

Seisuke rushed out from among them, stretching out his hands, but was grabbed by Kakashi, who had reacted.

"Got you!" Kakashi said.

"No, I got you." Seisuke tightly grasped Kakashi with both hands. Then, several snakes crawled out from his sleeves and bit Kakashi's wrists.

"Ugh!"

Kakashi shuddered. The venom began to spread throughout his body along with his blood, affecting him to some extent. It was impossible for him to let go now. The big snakes had bound him, ending this battle.

"The winner! Asakawa Seisuke!"

Kakashi lost his mobility, so the winner was naturally Seisuke.

"Yosh!!! Well done, Seisuke! Hahaha!" The first one to shout was Obito, acting as if he had won the battle himself.

Minato and Rin looked at him helplessly from the side.

Since Kakashi had been poisoned by the snake, his skin started to turn blue. The referee said to Seisuke, "Since you've won, please detoxify him."

Seisuke said sheepishly, "Well, I haven't learned how yet."

Referee: "..."

Kakashi: "..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed the space between his eyebrows and said, "Orochimaru, go and take care of it. Teach him how to detoxify by the way. Otherwise, something might go wrong in the future."

Before he learned how to detoxify, it was better to stop him from using poisonous snakes in the village. Sooner or later, it would cause trouble.

Orochimaru nodded, came to Kakashi's side, and said to Seisuke, "Watch carefully how to detoxify."

"Yes."

Seisuke watched intently as Orochimaru detoxified Kakashi. First, he identified which snake had bitten Kakashi, then found another snake and let it bite Kakashi again. Soon, Kakashi recovered.

Ah...

This was too hard to learn...

"Among these snakes, some snake venoms can neutralize the toxins of other poisonous snakes. They are natural enemies of each other. When you go back, make a note of the natural enemies of those snakes. Understand?" Orochimaru said.

"Yes." Seisuke nodded. It seemed that he would get a "Compendium of Poisonous Snakes" when he got back.

Kakashi stood up, feeling dizzy. Seisuke helped him back to the spectator seats. "You're strong, Seisuke."

"Not bad. I didn't expect you to be so good."

"Not as good as you."

"Haha, of course."

"..." I was just being modest. Oh well.

Seisuke looked towards the Sunagakure side. Yotsuki felt his gaze, snorted, and turned her head away... As for the date... it was still ten years away. In ten years, she would definitely make this guy look at her in a new light!

Moreover, who knew if he would even survive until then!
