"I knew this wouldn't be over so easily."
Mirai Uchiha, with his hands in his pockets, walked slowly to the center of the field.
As someone who had graduated long ago, Kakashi Hatake had no need to participate in this graduation exam.
It was most likely that Hiruzen Sarutobi had made this arrangement because he guessed that Kakashi would take first place and wanted to use him to suppress the Uchiha's ambition, sending them a signal.
The Hokage faction's power was far superior to that of the Uchiha.
Now and in the future!
However...
Feeling the power filling his body, the corners of Mirai Uchiha's lips curled up.
Hiruzen Sarutobi would probably be disappointed.
Once Mirai Uchiha was in position, Kakashi Hatake also arrived at the center of the field.
As soon as he appeared, the crowd of spectators immediately erupted.
This orphan from the Hatake clan, who held the title of "Konoha's Number One Genius," was very popular.
"This is going to get interesting, I dare bet that Mirai Uchiha will lose miserably."
"Not to mention, although Mirai Uchiha has some talent, he's nothing compared to Kakashi!"
"Kakashi graduated long ago, and now he's back to participate in the graduation exam, isn't that bullying the weak?"
"Hmph! I'm looking forward to seeing Mirai Uchiha get crushed mercilessly."
"Come on, Kakashi, show Mirai Uchiha that there are differences even among geniuses!"
Kakashi Hatake's appearance tilted the scales completely.
No matter how strong Mirai Uchiha was, he couldn't be a match for Kakashi Hatake.
That was the consolation everyone had in mind.
"Fugaku, I've arranged a fight between Kakashi and Mirai, it won't bother you, right?" asked Hiruzen Sarutobi, looking at Fugaku Uchiha.
"Of course not."
"That boy, Mirai, has become a bit arrogant because of his great talent. It wouldn't hurt him to get a reality check," said Fugaku Uchiha respectfully.
Remembering Mirai Uchiha's arrogant attitude the night before, he couldn't help but want to laugh coldly.
Did he really think he could do whatever he wanted just because he had some talent?
Compared to the village, the power of the Uchiha clan was insignificant.
After being crushed by Kakashi Hatake, Mirai Uchiha would learn that submission and swallowing his pride were the only paths to survival for the Uchiha.
Seeing Fugaku Uchiha's submissive and fearful attitude, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction.
Compared to Tajima Uchiha, Fugaku Uchiha was clearly easier to control.
Perhaps...
It was time for Tajima Uchiha to step down.
In the center of the field.
Kakashi Hatake's eyes were like a stagnant pond, devoid of any emotion.
Although Mirai Uchiha's performance in the previous battles had been good, that was all it was.
Moreover, Mirai Uchiha had just gone through several battles, and although his opponents' strength was average, they must have consumed some of his physical and mental energy.
This wasn't a fair fight from the start.
Of course, Kakashi Hatake had no intention of waiting for Mirai Uchiha to recover to his optimal state.
Since the death of Sakumo Hatake, Kakashi had learned a lesson.
Everything is insignificant in the face of the mission.
In contrast to Kakashi Hatake, Mirai Uchiha's face showed more emotion.
Kakashi's strength was considerable, and it was the perfect opportunity to test the results of his recent training.
"Get ready, the fight begins!"
Seeing that neither of them intended to speak, Oiwa Kimiyama had to give up his favorite part of the provocations and, with some disappointment, announced the start of the battle.
Once the battle began, Kakashi Hatake unsheathed the sword on his back, and his body became a blur as he lunged at Mirai Uchiha.
Mirai Uchiha didn't let his guard down either. He drew the long sword from his waist and engaged in combat with Kakashi Hatake.
"So this is the Hatake clan's sword style?"
As soon as their blades crossed, Mirai Uchiha felt a sharp pressure.
Kakashi Hatake's attacks were cunning and ferocious, each one aimed directly at vital points.
The smallest mistake would likely result in his defeat.
"I told you, Mirai Uchiha is no match for Kakashi."
"He's being completely dominated. Wait and see, it won't be long before he's defeated."
"Kakashi is the real genius. By comparison, Mirai Uchiha is far below him."
Seeing Mirai Uchiha at a disadvantage, the crowd burst into boos and laughter.
The genius of the Uchiha clan?
He was very inferior compared to Kakashi Hatake.
"They're underestimating me..."
Listening to the discussions around him, Mirai Uchiha smiled faintly.
The reputation of the Uchiha clan was truly bad; almost everyone wanted to see him defeated.
Hmph!
How ridiculous.
Channeling his chakra, Mirai Uchiha's eyes instantly turned crimson: the Sharingan.
"The Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha clan?"
Upon seeing Mirai Uchiha's Sharingan, a fluctuation appeared for the first time in Kakashi Hatake's impassive gaze.
The power of the Sharingan was immense, and even the slightest mistake could make him fall into his opponent's genjutsu.
Kakashi could only squint, trying not to look into Mirai Uchiha's eyes.
"I have to end this quickly."
His vast experience allowed Kakashi Hatake to assess the situation immediately.
Under the threat of the Sharingan, the longer the fight dragged on, the more unfavorable it would become for him.
Kakashi's attacks became fiercer, and his speed increased, but the effect was minimal.
After activating the Sharingan, Mirai Uchiha could clearly see the trajectory of Kakashi Hatake's attacks and therefore choose the best way to dodge them.
Coupled with the Uchiha Sword Style he had previously looted from Fugaku Uchiha...
Kakashi's attacks no longer posed any threat to Mirai Uchiha.
The situation reached a deadlock.
Kakashi was like an unrelenting assassin, each attack clean and without flourish.
Mirai Uchiha, on the other hand, was like a dancer, moving through the storm of attacks and, with the help of the Sharingan, elegantly dodging every strike.
Jaa, jaa...
Kakashi Hatake was panting, his chest rising and falling violently.
The high intensity of his attacks had caused a drastic drain on his energy.
If this continued, Mirai Uchiha wouldn't even have to attack him; Kakashi would collapse from exhaustion.
Realizing this, Kakashi Hatake jumped backward.
Behind him, Mirai Uchiha formed seals at lightning speed: "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
A blazing fireball several meters in diameter shot toward Kakashi Hatake, who slammed his hands on the ground: "Earth Style: Earth Wall!"
A wall of earth rose from the ground, protecting Kakashi behind it.
Boom!
The great fireball collided with the earth wall, producing a deafening explosion.
Although the earth wall was shattered by the impact of the fireball, it successfully blocked the attack.
After the flames dissipated, Kakashi Hatake stood up, and a long sword was immediately positioned at his neck.
