Seeing Kakashi completely recovered, Might Guy flashed a happy smile and said, "Dear friend, I am immensely looking forward to the battle later."
"I won't let you down," Kakashi calmly replied.
At this time, Hiruko's voice echoed into the resting room.
"For the final match, Might Guy versus Hatake Kakashi, contestants please prepare for battle!"
Kakashi and Might Guy exchanged glances, Might Guy gave a shiny white-toothed grin and a thumbs-up to Kakashi.
The corner of Kakashi's mouth, hidden under his mask, curled up, and he too gave a thumbs-up to Might Guy.
As Kakashi and Might Guy walked into the arena, a huge cheer erupted from the crowd.
"Guy, go for it, let the flames of youth burn even more fiercely!" Might Duy stood up and shouted from the stands, offering mental support to Might Guy.
Although Might Guy couldn't clearly hear the sounds from the audience, he knew his father would certainly be cheering for him, so he responded with a brilliant smile towards the stands.
"Guy's Eight Gates combined with Breath of Rock makes his power and speed too strong, surely, Guy will take first place this time," Obito predicted in a bystander's fashion, with no emotional investment.
If Kakashi took first place, it would be even harder for Obito to bear than losing a battle.
Now, Obito kept cheering for Might Guy in his heart, wishing that Might Guy would overwhelm Kakashi under Nohara Rin's watchful eyes.
Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his small beard and smiled, regardless of who wins, this Chunin Examination was quite a successful one, fully showcasing Konoha's strength.
Finally, with everyone's attention focused, Hiruko announced the start of the battle.
"Breath of Rock, Full Concentration Breathing!"
"Eight Gates: Opening Gate, open! Healing Gate, open! Life Gate, open!"
The awaited battle finally began, Might Guy instantly maximized his power, opened three gates in a flash, and pushed his breathing to the utmost limit.
In this moment, an incredibly strong aura erupted from Might Guy, merely the burst of chakra stirred up the air, raising dust from the ground.
"Breath of Thunder, Full Concentration Breathing!"
Faced with Might Guy, Kakashi dared not hold back and immediately entered his limit breathing state, while chakra gathered at his feet, ready to burst forth at immense speed.
Might Guy was overwhelmingly excited, battling Kakashi in such an environment was exactly what he looked forward to.
"Leaf Great Whirlwind!"
Strong chakra burst from Might Guy's leg, turning into a green flash charging towards Kakashi, the extreme speed generating a gust of wind.
Kakashi didn't hesitate for a moment; he immediately transformed the chakra in his leg through nature transformation, stimulating his body, then vanished in a flash of lightning.
Might Guy's battle style is pure violence, the enhancement from the three gates and Full Concentration Breathing was immense, Kakashi didn't want to meet such an attack head-on.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
While dodging, Kakashi seized the opportunity to fling several shuriken infused with lightning attribute chakra at Might Guy.
If they were ordinary shuriken, Might Guy might have used the airflow generated by his taijutsu to counter them, but these ninja tools enhanced with nature transformation were not so easily dealt with, so Might Guy chose to use Soru to evade.
The shuriken didn't hit, but Kakashi wasn't anxious; both of them could be considered speed-type ninjas, extremely fast, now it was just a matter of who would reveal a flaw first.
Kakashi felt quite confident in this, because compared to Might Guy, he had far more tactics, his talent in ninjutsu was not inferior.
Swish!
After dodging Kakashi's attack, Might Guy didn't pause for a moment and immediately launched another attack on Kakashi.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!" Kakashi retreated while summoning a long, thick earth wall to block Might Guy's path.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Immediately, Kakashi formed seals and created a shadow clone, then performed Clone Jutsu together, producing over a dozen non-corporeal illusionary clones.
Non-corporeal illusionary clones are ineffective against Sharingan and Byakugan as they can see right through them, wasting chakra, but Might Guy didn't have special eyes nor mastery of the Transparent World, so they could serve as a distraction.
As Might Guy stood atop the Earth Flow Wall, more than a dozen identical Kakashi figures came into view.
"Leaf Strong Whirlwind!"
Might Guy continued charging towards Kakashi without stopping, he injected a tremendous amount of strength into his leg and kicked out a tornadic kick with immense force, the accompanying strong wind blowing away some of the clones into illusions.
The shadow clone, though using all its power with lightning release chakra enhancement, also dissipated into smoke under this kick.
Just as Might Guy eliminated all the shadow clones before him, Kakashi emerged from the ground with intensely radiant purple lightning in his hand.
To this, Might Guy wasn't too surprised, after all, Kakashi wasn't using this tactic for the first time, he was prepared, gathering chakra in his palm.
"Leaf Hand Blade!"
Might Guy's palm burst with chakra, he swiftly turned, striking out a transparent qi force into the air.
"Purple Lightning!"
And Kakashi's hand erupted in purple light, a mass of lightning rushed towards Might Guy, even Might Guy couldn't evade such a large mass of lightning at that distance.
Boom!
The purple lightning struck Might Guy, forcing him back several steps, even turning his bowl cut into a frizzy mess.
Bam!
Might Guy's hand blade qi force also precisely struck Kakashi, sending Kakashi flying against the Earth Flow Wall.
