"Now, form the Seal of Confrontation!"
Asuma and Kakashi stood on the training ground and formed the Seal of Confrontation.
Asuma couldn't stand Kakashi's smug attitude. He had always considered himself the strongest of the three Genin in Orochimaru Squad, and believed he was the strongest contestant in these Chunin Exams.
But when he heard that his old man had shamelessly brought Kakashi, a Special Jōnin, into the Chunin Exams, he decided to teach Kakashi a lesson.
So what if he was a Special Jōnin?!
Both Teacher Orochimaru and his Hokage father believed his strength had already reached that level. He might not necessarily lose.
Besides, his old man had really gone all out this time and given him something good.
This time, he had to put on a proper show in front of Kurenai Yūhi!
No rush. He would test him first!
Asuma threw three kunai at Kakashi in a triangular formation, then rapidly formed hand seals.
"Wind Release: Beast Wave Slash!"
A broad wave of Wind Blades followed close behind the three kunai.
Kakashi did not draw White Fang. Instead, he twisted sideways, bent low, and leaped over the kunai Asuma had thrown. Maintaining his balance in midair, he formed hand seals as well, finishing the jutsu the instant he landed. He slammed both hands onto the ground, raising an earthen wall marked with a dog's head to block Asuma's attack.
"Chidori!"
Kakashi vaulted over the earthen wall, brilliant lightning blazing in his hand as he charged straight at Asuma.
"Chakra Blade: True One Character!"
Two short chakra blades appeared in Asuma's hands. With Wind Chakra coating them, slender Wind Blades extended along their edges.
Two sharp blades formed from Wind Chakra slashed toward Kakashi.
Asuma intended to use offense as defense!
Wind Chakra against Lightning Chakra—the advantage
