Chapter 29: Kozuki vs Kakashi

Kakashi vs Kozuki, the last duel!!!

The proctors voice fell, and the audience immediately burst into thunderous cheers. They waited for a long time, just for this exciting moment.

Both of them have huge expectations on there backs.

On one side is the genius of Konoha, the genius who broke all the previous records from early graduation to becoming a Chunin at 6, Hatake Kakashi.

On the other side is Konoha's rising genius Kozuki Shiro who defeated Hokage's Son with just a single move.

The popularity of this duel has firmly attracted everyone's attention. There eyes were fixed on two genius Ninja's, watching.

In the stands

Shizune and Kurenai sat side by side. They watched Kozuki's back nervously, their hearts beating, as if they were on the scene.

Shizune's teeth danced with her hands and screamed loudly cheering for Kozuki heartily.

She believes that Kozuki will definitely definitely win.

Kurenai clasped her hands tightly, her eyes staring at Kozuki. She kept praying for Kozuki in her heart, hoping that he could win. When her eyes moved to Kozuki's side face, her face turned red, shy and cute.

Both of them cheered for Kozuki in there own way hoping that he could soar to the sky.

On the other side of Stand

Jiraya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Minato and Sakumo stood together looking at the scene below.

"Aren't you nervous, Sakumo Senpai?"

Minato asked White Fang as he, the teacher himself was pretty nervous but his father had the same calm expression.

"I kow how much effort Kakashi put for this exam the result doesn't matter he did his best that's what is important"

White Fang wasn't nervous for Kakashi as he already knew the result of this match.

He has trained Kakashi this whole month So he knows his strength very well but he could see nothing even close to that speed and strength of Kozuki.

Minato was young so he couldn't find much from his words.

But Tsunade and other's had plenty of experience to understand his words.

"Even Sakumo isn't sure for his Son's win" thought Jiraya as he looked at Kozuki a bit surprised.

"My Money..."

Tsunade screamed in her heart as she could easily conclude from his tone that the chance's of Kakashi win weren't much.

"He-he show me what secret you have"

Orochimaru with his same unique laugh looked at Kozuki below eye's full of greed.

____________

Kakashi stood infront of Kozuki, eyes like electricity, staring at him.

This is the first time they have really fought each other. Kakashi once wanted to have a fight with Kozuki but he saw his fight with the Spy and his confidence was shaken.

In this months time, he has been immersed in deep training all the time, constantly enhancing his strength.

He doesn't care for the Chunin title since he already is, but his goal has always been to defeat Kozuki.

"Do you remember what I said at the start of the exam that don't hold back so take out your sword"

Kakashi put a fighting stance as blue lightning appeared around his legs dancing wildly.

"Oh lightning" Kozuki was a bit surprised but didn't care much replied to Kakashi's earlier statement.

"I don't think it's needed..."

Kozuki wasn't being arrogant but even his causal slash could cut the fighting arena in half.

"Start" the Proctor said loudly as the whole audience immediately became silent looking at the two fully focused.

Whoosh...

Kakashi disappeared from his place as he was already in front of him his legs moving towards his neck.

Wow...

The whole audience was surprised by Kakashi's speed that was invisible to the naked eye.

"Using lightning to increase the speed and power a simple but effective method"

Sarutobi sitting at the highest place nodded in acknowledgement as even if it was simple for a child it was still difficult.

Kozuki looked at the leg a few centimeters away from his neck and just tilted his head back escaping the blow.

Kakashi didn't give up as his legs shrouded in thunder kept attacking Kozuki who easily reading his movements dodged them perfectly as they roamed in the entire field appearing everywhere from time to time.

"Do you only know to dogde..."

Kakashi was a bit annoyed looking at him dodging his attacks and provoked him.

"You can't afford my attack Kakashi"

Kozuki wasn't angry at his words and said the fact which sounded arrogant to Kakashi.

Another leg attack moved towards Kozuki head but he didn't dogde his attack this time and brought his hand forward.

Kakashi sneered seeing him trying to catch his legs as he knew his thunder leg would paralyze him for sure.

Boom...

Kozuki caught Kakashi leg as fierce wind pressure spread around from the impact.

"What"

Kakashi saw him catch his legs and totally fine was surprised.

"This weak thunder can't affect me Kakashi"

said Kozuki holding his legs as he threw him in front as Kakashi flew away before stopping a few meter far.

"Did he coat his hands with Chakra"

Tsunade was a bit confused as she saw him catching his leg but she couldn't sense his Chakra at all.

"No, he just used his bare hands"

Sakumo beside spoke a bit shocked by the scene.

Tsunade, Jiraya and Minato were shocked listening to his words how much strong of a body was required to do so.

Orochimaru was having a hard time controlling himself and not to catch Kozuki for his experiment.

"Kakashi just give up I don't want to hurt you" said Kozuki looking at the panting Kakashi in front due to consumption of Chakra.

"I have trained so hard how can I give up"

Kakashi wasn't discouraged by his words as he still had a hole card.

Kakashi made seals as he put his around his mouth.

Fire Style! Great Fireball.

A huge and wide fireball sprouted out from his mouth roaring towards Kozuki.

"It's useless"

looking at the fire,Kozuki shook his head and decided to end this farce.

He immediately disappeared from his place appearing behind Kakashi who looked all exhausted.

Kozuki put his hands on his shoulder and said

"It's over..."

The whole venue was silent looking at the scene in front and they couldn't believe that the genius Kakashi lost.

"Even Kakashi..." Sarutobi couldn't believe that Kakashi lost and Kozuki didn't even used his sword.

Danzo beside was already thinking of absorbing Kozuki in the roots.

"Give up Kakashi"

Kozuki looked at Kakashi who sat on the ground in front with his back facing him.

Kakashi turned his head and his eyes suddenly showed a cunning look.

"It's not over yet"

Kakashi turned into mud falling down.

"Mud Clone" said Kozuki as he immediately turned around but he heard a birds chirping sound.

"I Win.... Chidori"

Shouted Kakashi as the Chidori moved towards Kozuki Shoulder quickly.

Boom...

The ground under broke as cobweb like cracks spread everywhere from the impact as dust covered the whole area.

"What was that Jutsu"

Tsunade who had given up on her money when suddenly saw Kakashi turning the tides and using that noisy flashy jutsu became happy and couldn't help but asking.

"It's the Jutsu he developed Chidori, it's power is on par with A Rank Jutsu"

Sakumo explained making the people around unbelievable that a child could even develop his own Jutsu.

"You better win, Kid!"

Tsunade looked at the dust that covered the fighting arena and couldn't help but praying for Kakashi's win.

"Hey who won..."

The whole venue was chaotic looking forward to the result.
