Chapter 39: Konoha Jonin are Ridiculously Strong? Actually the World's Strongest?
"You guys are Kakashi's students, right? Is your Kakashi-sensei doing well?"
After Might Guy told Rock Lee about the punishment, he looked up at Uchiha Sasuke and the others.
"You know Kakashi?" Uchiha Sasuke was a bit surprised; he really didn't expect Kakashi to know such a strange thick-browed watermelon head.
"What do you mean 'know'!" At this, Guy smiled slightly and explained, "Others call us eternal rivals!"
"..."
"You're lying!"
Hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke fell silent, while Naruto and Sakura shouted in disbelief. How could this be possible?
That... although she wore a mask and her appearance couldn't be seen clearly, Kakashi, who was technically a beautiful girl, how could she have this kind of relationship with the thick-browed big watermelon head in front of them!
Actions speak louder than words. Seeing that they didn't believe him, Guy had to prove it with practical action.
In an instant, he appeared behind Uchiha Sasuke and the others using the Body Flicker Technique.
"Huh?!!"
In the next second, the pupils of Uchiha Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura dilated instantly, and they turned their heads with shocked expressions toward the person who had suddenly appeared behind them.
This... they didn't see it at all!
He was just in front of them, and their eyes hadn't left him at all, so how did he appear behind them in an instant?
He seems even faster than Kakashi?
Realizing this, Uchiha Sasuke was completely shocked. This guy who looked like a joke was actually this strong?
"By the way, the record is 50 wins and 49 losses." Guy grinned, revealing white, even teeth, and chuckled, "Let me make it clear, I'm stronger than Kakashi!"
"Stronger than Kakashi-sensei?"
The three members of Team 7 were shocked once again. How was this possible?
"How about it? Guy-sensei is amazing, right!" Rock Lee couldn't help but feel proud seeing that they were completely intimidated by Guy-sensei.
"This guy..." Uchiha Sasuke suddenly thought of what Kakashi had said before—that among the Konoha Jonin who could fight that man, besides her, there was one more, but that person was already leading another class.
Could it be this guy?
"Hey, Guy, don't scare my cute students to tears!"
At this moment, Kakashi slowly walked out from the shadows. Although facing Guy was a hassle, she had to face him sooner or later.
"Ka, Kakashi!" Guy turned his head upon hearing the voice. Seeing the person, he suddenly became inexplicably nervous. "Uh, Rock Lee, the registration time is almost over. Let's go register quickly!"
Once Guy regained his composure, he hurriedly pulled Rock Lee and left first.
"That's it for now. See you next time, Kakashi!"
"..." Kakashi watched Guy's hurried departure, feeling somewhat speechless. She had even prepared herself mentally before coming out, but the guy just ran away.
"Eh?"
Sakura watched Guy and the other leave in a hurry and also realized, "Right, the registration time is indeed almost up. There are only about ten minutes left!"
With ten minutes left, there was no rush. What Uchiha Sasuke cared about was that guy just now. "That guy is your eternal rival?"
"Well, pretty much!" Kakashi didn't deny it, though she was a bit embarrassed.
"He said he's stronger than you, Kakashi-sensei. He must be lying, right?" Uzumaki Naruto asked hurriedly after snapping out of it. He didn't believe such a thing at all!
Because the Hokage was the strongest person he had heard of, but Kakashi was the strongest he had seen!
How could that thick-browed watermelon head who came out of nowhere be stronger than Kakashi-sensei!
"He wasn't lying about that. Not only is he stronger than me, but he's also stronger than all known powerhouses in the world! No one can defeat him head-on, not even the Five Kage!"
Kakashi nodded and then explained. Those Ōtsutsuki didn't count as known powerhouses, and she emphasized "head-on confrontation," so she wasn't technically wrong.
"What?!!"
Now, the three youngsters were completely shocked. Didn't that mean the thick-browed watermelon head was the world's strongest?
That's impossible!
How could that be?
That guy is clearly just a joke!
"Hey, hey, that's fake, right? Kakashi-sensei, you're teasing us, aren't you?" Uzumaki Naruto still found it hard to believe.
"I'm not. Don't let Guy's appearance fool you; he really is strong. No one can head-on block a kick at his full power."
Kakashi recalled the scene where a kick almost brought the series to its finale. It was also hard to associate that with the comedic character when he first appeared!
50 wins and 49 losses.
Uchiha Sasuke stared intently at Kakashi. That guy said his duel record with Kakashi was 50 wins and 49 losses, and Kakashi said that guy was the world's strongest.
But Kakashi was able to take 49 victories in duels against that guy.
Doesn't that mean Kakashi is the second strongest in the world?
Is... is this for real?
Uchiha Sasuke was very shaken because he always believed in his heart that the traitor who slaughtered the clan was the strongest.
Because the Uchiha were the strongest clan in the world.
But now someone was saying the world's strongest was some comedic guy he'd never heard of?
Konoha Jonin are ridiculously strong!
Then why, on the night the Uchiha Clan was wiped out, did Konoha not notice anything?
If Konoha had sent even one Jonin, the Uchiha Clan wouldn't have been wiped out, right?
Dammit! What on earth is going on!
Did Konoha intentionally sit by and watch the Uchiha Clan be destroyed?
Uchiha Sasuke's mind was in total disarray... Right, Kakashi must be bragging!
They are eternal rivals, so it's normal to hype each other up!
"World's strongest" is all fake!
Soon, Uchiha Sasuke found a reasonable excuse to comfort himself.
"Um, the registration time is almost up." After the shock, Sakura remembered and hurriedly reminded them.
"World's strongest" was too far away for them; right now, they were just little Genin who needed to participate in the Chunin Exams!
"Right, right, right, let's go register quickly." Uzumaki Naruto snapped out of it and became anxious as well.
"Well then, good luck, after all, you are my cute students!" Kakashi raised her hands and patted Sakura and Naruto's shoulders, signaling them to go.
"Oh!" Naruto shouted excitedly with his fist raised! Then he ran forward, with Sakura following closely behind.
Uchiha Sasuke didn't move but stared at Kakashi. "What you just said was fake, right?"
Although he had already decided it was fake, he still wanted to confirm it from Kakashi's mouth.
Seeing Sasuke's serious look, Kakashi suddenly smiled. "Well, strictly speaking, it's fake."
True, strictly speaking, Guy wasn't the strongest.
"Heh!" Seeing this, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly didn't know whether to believe her or not. This Kakashi really was full of lies!
Then, he ignored Kakashi, turned around, and chased after Naruto and Sakura.
