As soon as Mirai Uchiha entered the central tower and handed over the Heaven and Earth scrolls, the ninja teams waiting outside rushed in desperately.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but feel the corner of their mouths twitch.
Damn! Such a strange situation, even if the Chūnin Exams were held for another hundred years, it probably couldn't be repeated.
After passing the test, Mirai Uchiha stepped aside and closed his eyes to rest.
There were still two days left until the end of the test, and they would have to wait patiently here until the time was up.
Two days later.
With the last ninja team handing over their Heaven and Earth scrolls, the Forest of Death trial was concluded.
Immediately after, a gasp of astonishment was heard.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, accompanied by a group of Jōnin, appeared before everyone.
"You have all done a great job."
"The fact that you have made it this far shows that you are all ninjas of great strength."
"However, to become an exceptional ninja, strength is not the only criterion."
"Where the tree leaves dance, one finds flames. The shadow of the fire will illuminate the village, and once more, tree leaves shall sprout anew..."
Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's passionate speech, Mirai Uchiha snorted with disdain internally.
To say those words so righteously in front of everyone, he really didn't know how he could be so shameless.
Just as Mirai Uchiha was about to fall asleep, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally stopped.
He took a drag from his pipe and showed a kind smile: "The final test of this exam will be one-on-one combat."
"Participants will be randomly paired by the computer to decide their opponents."
"Regardless of whether you win or lose, each person will have three opportunities."
"In the end, a panel of judges will decide, based on each person's performance, whether the participant can be promoted to Chūnin."
Hiruzen Sarutobi finished reading the exam rules, and the names on the large central screen began to change rapidly.
The next second, the screen stopped.
"Might Guy VS. Obito Uchiha!"
Seeing his name on the screen, Might Guy shouted excitedly: "Turns out I'm the first one out."
"With so many people watching, I have to give a good performance."
"Youth does not allow for laziness!"
Compared to the energetic Might Guy, Obito Uchiha, with his hands in his pockets and a carefree attitude, walked slowly to the center of the field.
"Guy, although my target isn't you, I lost to you in the graduation exam due to a moment of carelessness. This time, I'll take the opportunity to get my revenge."
"Come on, this great lord will show no mercy."
Seeing Obito Uchiha's confident attitude, those present began to murmur among themselves.
"This guy is also an Uchiha ninja, with that conceited attitude, his strength must be considerable, right?"
"For sure, there are no Uchiha who are easy to mess with, just look at Mirai Uchiha."
"But hadn't I heard that Obito Uchiha was a failure at the Ninja Academy?"
"What? Impossible, right?"
Hearing the others' discussions, Obito Uchiha's eyes filled with fighting spirit.
Hmph!
After today, I'll let everyone know that he, the Obito Uchiha of now, is no longer the loser from before!
"Referee, you may begin."
Seeing that both were ready, the referee blew the whistle in his mouth.
The next second, a green figure flashed by.
"Dancing Leaf Shadow!"
Thump!
Obito Uchiha was kicked in the chin, and his body flew into the air.
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
In the air, Obito Uchiha was hit again by a whip kick, and his body crashed heavily to the ground.
"That guy, Obito..."
Kakashi and Rin Nohara both put a hand to their foreheads at the same time, speechless at Obito Uchiha's performance.
They had seen it clearly: when the referee announced the start of the match, Obito hadn't even taken his hands out of his pockets, so he was defeated in a single blow without even being able to defend himself.
"Second match, Rin Nohara VS. Kurenai Yuhi!"
"Third match, Ebisu VS. Genma Shiranui!"
"..."
"Eleventh match: Kakashi Hatake VS. Mirai Uchiha!"
Seeing the two names on the big screen, everyone present showed expressions of excitement.
If they had to choose two of the strongest recognized competitors in these Chūnin Exams, it would undoubtedly be Mirai Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake.
Moreover, both were recognized as genius ninjas. One was the "First Genius of Konoha," and the other, the young prodigy of the prestigious Uchiha clan.
Kakashi had become famous earlier, but Mirai Uchiha's recent momentum was stronger.
The match between the two of them instantly piqued everyone's interest.
"Who do you think will win this match?"
"Surely Mirai Uchiha. During the second test, even Kakashi admitted he was no match for him."
"But Kakashi's strength is not to be underestimated either, I've heard he was even in the ANBU for a while. Even if Mirai Uchiha wins, it will surely be difficult."
"That's right, either way, this showdown will undoubtedly be very exciting."
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Mirai Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake walked to the center of the field.
Mirai Uchiha looked at Kakashi Hatake and shrugged: "Kakashi, you don't have very good luck."
"No, I should say I have very good luck." Kakashi Hatake gripped his chakra tantō with both hands. "In these Chūnin Exams, the opponent I most wanted to face was you."
"Oh, really?"
Seeing Kakashi Hatake's gaze full of fighting spirit, Mirai Uchiha laughed softly: "Then you'd better take it seriously, I'm not used to holding back."
"Don't worry!"
"I've recently mastered many new ninjutsu, I assure you I'll leave you speechless."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kakashi Hatake's figure disappeared from the spot.
The next instant, a cold flash passed through Mirai Uchiha's body.
Caw! Caw! Caw!
Mirai Uchiha's body turned into dozens of crows that flew in all directions.
"A Crow Clone?"
Kakashi Hatake quickly looked around, and not finding Mirai Uchiha's figure, he jumped, soaring high into the air.
Just as he jumped, two arms emerged from the ground where he had been standing.
"I won't fall for the same trick twice."
"Oh, really?"
Hearing a voice behind him, Kakashi Hatake turned sharply and discovered that Mirai Uchiha had appeared behind him at some point.
Thump!
An elbow strike knocked Kakashi Hatake violently to the ground.
Immediately after, the longsword in Mirai Uchiha's hand was placed on Kakashi Hatake's neck.
"He—he lost, Kakashi lost!"
"What just happened? How did the match end in the blink of an eye?"
"Too fast, you couldn't see either of their movements."
"So this is Mirai Uchiha's strength, even Kakashi Hatake was defeated so easily..."
"Yeah, it seems they're not on the same level as opponents at all. Mirai Uchiha settled the match in just a few seconds."
"Are fights between the strong always like this? I don't understand anything, can someone explain?"
No one expected that a match so eagerly awaited by all would end in such an anticlimactic way.
Mirai Uchiha had directly crushed Kakashi Hatake!
