Qingyu vs. Kakashi: Who Is the Strongest Genius? (Parts One, Two, and Three)

"I understand, Lord Madara. I will definitely take a good look at Young Master Qingyu's figure."

White Zetsu smiled.

Then White Zetsu began to recount the scene that Madara Uchiha hadn't had time to witness.

That is, the battle between Qingyu and Tekka.

"Good."

Madara Uchiha.

Hearing Madara's tone change from gloomy to cheerful, White Zetsu quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, Young Master Qingyu is truly amazing! He can even shatter the Uchiha Clan's Fire Release with a single punch. That power is exactly the same as Lord Madara's back then."

"No."

Madara Uchiha suddenly interrupted White Zetsu.

"It's different from what I was like back then."

White Zetsu was taken aback for a moment, waiting for his explanation.

"I didn't have the Three-Tomoe Sharingan at that time."

Madara Uchiha.

"When Qingyu was this age, I was still skipping stones with Hashirama on the riverbank."

"Qingyu has now awakened the Three-Tomoe and can wield 'Strength of a Hundred' to this extent. He has inherited both the Senju's physical body and the Uchiha's eyes. The two bloodlines not only do not repel each other, but they are also perfectly integrated into him."

"Such a perfect fusion cannot be found anywhere else in the thousand-year history of the Senju and Uchiha."

Madara Uchiha.

He seemed a little uncomfortable.

It's like Izuna being injected with Senju Tobirama's evil bloodline; although he's excellent, he's also repulsive.

But then Madara Uchiha changed his mind.

In a way, isn't this a union Hashirama?

Thinking about it this way, Madara Uchiha felt a little better.

It's just that their bloodlines are somewhat distant, and Qingyu is more like his younger brother Izuna.

"Lord Madara is right."

White Zetsu silent for a moment, swallowing back the exaggerated compliments.

Because he discovered that Madara Uchiha was better at blowing Qingyu than he was.

Yes, humans are indeed very knowledgeable.

The subsequent exams continued intensely.

The second match was against Might Guy, whose opponent was a Chunin Wind Release. However, against Might Guy's powerful Taijutsu, the opponent couldn't even find an opening to Hand Seals.

Finally, after a series of spinning kicks, his opponent was sent flying out of bounds. Might Guy, fist pumping and shouting "Youth!", charged toward the waiting area.

Influenced by Qingyu's internal struggle, Rin Nohara and the others are stronger than in the original story, thus they successfully passed the battle.

Shizune, on the other hand, was lucky enough to get a bye, so she also advanced.

Soon, after the break, the big screen started scrolling again.

As names began scrolling across the big screen, the spots for the second round were finally determined.

--

Round 2, Match 1: Qingyu vs. Sarutobi Asuma. In the waiting area, Sarutobi Asuma's eyes widened when he saw the name on the big screen.

I wish opening my eyes was just an illusion----

Asuma reached out to steady the lollipop, took a deep breath, and stood up from the bench.

"I've never beaten Qingyu before, how am I supposed to win this time?"

Sarutobi Asuma found it all very abstract.

He flexed his wrists, walked up to Qingyu, stopped, and looked up.

"Do you remember when we fought in the Training Ground last time? You cleaved my wind blade in two with a single strike. After that, I went back and practiced my Wind Release techniques extra, making my wind blade even sharper than before."

"Yeah."

Qingyu nodded.

"That's good."

Sarutobi Asuma shook his head at Qingyu's completely relaxed expression and took the lead in walking towards the center of the arena.

It's Asuma.

Utatane Koharu in the tsunomoto room, watched as Sarutobi Asuma emerged from below.

"He can't beat Qingyu."

Sarutobi Hiruzen his head.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew perfectly well what kind of rebellious son he had.

Whether it's talent or the Will of Fire, she's completely inferior to Qingyu.

If Sarutobi Asuma were half as good as Qingyu, he wouldn't be so worried.

Even so, the battle between Qingyu and Sarutobi Asuma still attracted a lot of attention.

No matter what, Sarutobi Asuma was the "son of the Hokage".

This identity naturally attracts others.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen was so powerful, so his son Sarutobi Asuma shouldn't be too far behind.

Feeling the gazes directed at him from others, Sarutobi Asuma felt an immense increase in pressure.

"Um?"

He suddenly looked up and saw his mother Biwako Sarutobi, in the audience.

"It's over."

Sarutobi Asuma thought to himself.

He only hoped that Qingyu would give way to him later, so that he wouldn't lose so miserably.

Sarutobi Asuma then took a deep breath and gripped the Chakra Blade in his hand.

"Start!"

The Nara Shikaku echoed through the arena.

Buzz.

The moment Qingyu drew Muramasa, Wind Release Chakra was already infused into the blade.

A visible wind blade extended from the blade, several times longer than the Chakra Blade in Sarutobi Asuma's hand.

Sarutobi Asuma's lips twitched.

Last time at the Training Ground, Qingyu's wind blades had already caused him a great deal of trouble.

After returning, he practiced compression techniques extra, increasing the length of his wind blades by a third compared to the last time, hoping to avenge his previous defeat.

As it turned out, Qingyu's was longer than his.

In terms of strengths and weaknesses, losing to Qingyu made Sarutobi Asuma feel quite bad.

What kind of monster is this?

Is there no limit to the talent for Ninjutsu?

Sarutobi Asuma gritted his teeth and channeled more Chakra into his Chakra Blade, causing the wind blades swirling around it to suddenly contract.

"Wind Release: Wind Swallow Cut!"

He pushed off with his feet and charged towards Qingyu.

Qingyu swung his sword to meet the attack.

Muramasa and the Chakra Blade collided in mid-air, the two wind blades cutting each other.

Sarutobi Asuma could feel that the edges of his wind blade were suppressed by the wind pressure of Qingyu the moment they collided.

He decisively changed tactics, stomping his feet hard on the ground and sliding sideways, running counter-clockwise around Qingyu.

"Wind Release: Wind Release: Thousand Faces Wind!"

He spewed out a dense barrage of wind blades from his mouth.

Tiny wind blades scattered in the air, enveloping Qingyu from different angles.

This is a newly mastered Wind Release Ninjutsu, specifically designed to block an opponent's escape route.

Qingyu drew a semicircle in front of Muramasa, and the Wind Release Chakra flowing on the sword created an arc-shaped wind wall in the air.

Dozens of tiny wind blades struck the wind wall and were all deflected, leaving fine cuts on the ground.

Sarutobi Asuma felt even heavier upon seeing this.

Wind Release: Thousand Faces Wind is the most flexible Wind Release Ninjutsu he currently possesses. Dozens of wind blades attack simultaneously from different angles, making it difficult to block them all, no matter how fast they are.

But Qingyu only needed one strike to create a wall of wind in front of him, neutralizing all the attacks.

"Isn't Qingyu Uchiha and Senju? How come he's so skilled with Wind Release?"

The ninjas in the audience were filled with curiosity.

The Uchiha Clan excels in Fire Release, while the Senju Clan boasts top-tier Water Release ninjas like Senju Tobirama.

Therefore, Qingyu's inheritance should be either Water Release or Fire Release.

But none of them expected that Qingyu's Wind Release was so powerful, even stronger than the Hokage's son.

"Geniuses, of course, cannot be judged by ordinary standards."

One of the ninjas shook his head.

What he was really looking forward to was whether Qingyu and Kakashi would have a battle.

Off the field.

Sarutobi Asuma knew he couldn't drag this out for too long; his Chakra reserves were no match for Qingyu's. So he gathered most of his Wind Release Chakra and unleashed a slash.

A massive wind blade flew out.

Qingyu swung his sword to meet the attack.

Boom!

The two wind blades collided head-on.

The shockwave spread outward from the center of impact, sending dust billowing across the arena.

Dust flew over the high walls, and the blast of air made it hard for people in the front rows of the audience to open their eyes, so they raised their hands to shield their faces.

Sarutobi Asuma stared wide-eyed as his wind blade was cleaved in two by Qingyu's wind blade.

Qingyu's wind blades continued their momentum, grazing Asuma's shoulder and leaving a deep gash in the wall behind him.

"I lost."

Sarutobi Asuma chose to concede defeat.

"Last time we sparred on the Training Ground, I could hold my own for a few rounds. This time, you dominated me from start to finish. What's with this rate of improvement? Is one day of your progress equivalent to a year for others?"

Qingyu sheathed Muramasa and shook his head.

Keep up the good work, Asuma.

"Qingyu wins!"

As Nara Shikaku announced this in a loud voice, applause erupted from the audience once again.

Rin Nohara stood beside her, her brown eyes reflecting the image of the black-haired boy, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

Obito glanced at Rin Nohara, then at Qingyu, pouted, and kicked a pebble hard.

The next match continued.

The second match of the second round was between Hyuga Ginka and a ninja from the Akimichi Clan.

Hyuga Ginka activated her Byakugan and unleashed the Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms with Cloud Style, sealing all of her opponent's pressure points. Before the Akimichi Clan's Expansion Jutsu could be fully activated, the opponent collapsed to the ground.

Nara Shikaku raised his right hand, announcing that Hyuga Ginka had won.

In the third match, it was Kakashi's turn. His opponent was Inuzuka Fuji ninja from the Inuzuka Clan, accompanied by his gray and white Ninja Dog, Gray-White Maru.

"Kakashi, I won't hold back!"

Inuzuka Fuji Hand Seals and, together with Gray-White Maru, unleashed his Beast Human Clone. The two greyish-white figures attacked Kakashi from both sides.

Kakashi stood still, his short, silver-white hair swaying slightly in the wind from his claws.

He formed a hand Hand Seals with one hand, and a dazzling burst of lightning suddenly lit up his right palm.

After the lightning gathered in his palm, it spread like a spider web.

Chidori Stream!

"You've mastered it."

Qingyu stroked her chin.

He had mentioned this possibility to Kakashi before, and to his surprise, Kakashi actually completed the development in a very short time.

Sizzle!

The electric current instantly spread along the contact surface to Inuzuka Fuji's entire body, causing his limbs to convulse violently. He fell to the ground upside down, unable to move.

Gray-White Maru was also hit by Kakashi's backhand strike, and with a whimper, it collapsed beside its master.

"Hatake Kakashi wins the fourth match!"

The Nara Shikaku rang out again.

In the audience, Hatake Sakumo crossed his arms and smiled as he watched his son walk off the field.

The fourth match was between Might Guy and Obito Uchiha.

Obito stood on one side of the field, his eyes behind his goggles fixed on the thick-browed man in the green bodysuit opposite him, a nonchalant expression on his face.

"Obito, don't underestimate Guy."

Qingyu's voice came from the waiting area.

Obito glanced back at Qingyu, then looked at Rin Nohara smiling at him from the sidelines, and his competitive spirit surged up again.

"I know, I won't hold back."

Obito raised his chin and Hand Seals.

On the sidelines, a middle-aged man wearing the same green bodysuit and sporting a thick beard was leaning on the railing, cupping his hands around his mouth and shouting loudly into the court, "Kai, let them see your youthful passion!"

Might Guy turned his head to look in his father Might Duy's direction, gave him a thumbs up, and revealed a set of gleaming White Fang.

"Father, I will!"

Obito watched the father and son interacting so obliviously, and his lips twitched.

This father and son duo are oddities in Konoha. Might Duy is said to be Eternal Genin, often called "Konoha's bottom-ranked kid."

"Kai, you go first, I'll let you have it."

Obito cracked his knuckles, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

Despite being born into a wealthy and powerful family, he still felt a certain pride in Might Guy, a commoner.

Might Guy shook his head upon hearing this.

"Obito, please use your full strength, because I will do the same."

He bent down and untied two heavy bags from his calves.

The moment the two weighted bags hit the ground, a dull thud resounded, sending dust flying.

Bang!

Obito's eyes widened.

What is this thing?

"You—you've been wearing this thing all the time?"

Obito was surprised.

Might Guy nodded, saying matter-of-factly, "Yes, this is the cultivation of youth."

Obito couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Might Guy always carried this weighted bag with him while walking.

How can there be such a hardworking ninja!

His mind was buzzing, and he involuntarily recalled what Qingyu had just said.

If ten times the effort isn't enough, try a hundred times; if a hundred times isn't enough, try two hundred times.

At the time, he thought it was just Qingyu saying something nice on the spur of the moment, and that no one could actually do that.

But isn't Might Guy a living example right now?

He wears this thing every day during training, walking, and even while sleeping.

This perseverance, this almost abnormal self-discipline, is simply terrifying.

A fine layer of sweat appeared on Obito's forehead.

He took a deep breath, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards the sidelines.

Rin Nohara was standing there, her hands clasped in front of her chest.

She's looking at herself!

Obito clenched his fist.

We cannot lose.

We absolutely cannot lose.

Even if Might Guy becomes faster without the weights, so what? He still has Fire Release and the Sharingan —no, he hasn't awakened the Sharingan yet.

Obito's lips twitched slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Bring it on!"

Obito Hand Seals, and his chest swelled.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A fireball erupted from his mouth, surging and crashing towards Might Guy.

Might Guy's body slumped slightly.

Whoosh!

His figure disappeared.

After being unloaded, Might Guy's speed increased several times, and his body became incredibly light.

His body transformed into a green afterimage, bypassing the side of the fireball, and then, like a bullet, he charged towards Obito.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

Might Guy's right leg swept out horizontally.

Obito felt a gust of wind rush towards him.

He didn't even have time to Hand Seals; he could only subconsciously cross his arms in front of his chest.

Bang!

The kick struck Obito's arm with a dull thud.

Obito was kicked so hard that he slid backward for more than ten meters, his foot leaving two deep furrows in the ground.

The sharp pain in his arm made Obito grimace. Before he could even regain his footing, another whooshing sound came from above.

Might Guy was already directly above him, his body spinning half a circle in the air, his other leg slashing down with the force of a mountain crashing down.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

Boom!

The kick cleaved a crack in the enemy's face, sending fragments of stone flying.

Obito, disregarding his disheveled state, quickly rolled away, the pebbles grazing his cheeks and leaving several small bloody scratches.

He couldn't even see Might Guy's movements, let alone counterattack.

"Obito!"

Might Guy roared and charged straight at him.

Obito's hands quickly formed Hand Seals. This time, he had learned his lesson and didn't use a large-scale Ninjutsu like the Great Fireball, which required a lot of energy to build up. Instead, he used the "Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Fire Jutsu," which had a faster power-up.

He spat out seven or eight small fireballs.

Although not very skilled, Obito still put a lot of effort into improving his Ninjutsu so that he could one day defeat Qingyu.

Unfortunately, the rate at which these fireballs increased was still too slow in Might Guy's eyes.

His body swayed continuously in the air, weaving through the gaps between the fireballs, his right leg slamming into Obito's chest with a gust of wind.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

Obito felt as if he had been struck in the chest by a wildly charging bull.

His body flew high into the air, tumbling several times before crashing heavily to the edge of the field.

"Might Guy wins Game 4!"

Waiting area for examinees.

"Lin, I didn't do well just now. I'm sure I can do better next time."

Obito adjusted his goggles, walked quickly to Rin Nohara's side, and forced a smile.

"Obito has already tried his best, he'll definitely win next time."

Rin Nohara's voice was as soft as ever.

Then Rin Nohara turned back and continued talking to Qingyu, her voice much lowered. Obito could only vaguely hear the words "Medical Ninjutsu" and "sealing".

Obito stood to the side, silent for a few seconds.

"Obito, I believe that resentment will definitely be able to overcome this next year."

Might Guy patted Obito shoulder.

"Hmph, I just made a mistake this time."

The servant Obito to save face.

"Kai, your expression is quite good."

After chatting with Rin Nohara for a while, Qingyu looked at Might Guy.

Might Guy turned his head and saw Qingyu walking towards him.

His eyes lit up immediately, and he gave a thumbs-up, revealing his signature set of White Fang.

"It's all thanks to Qingyu and the others' daily training!"

Might Guy's voice was full of gratitude. He paused and then asked, "However, Qingyu, do you think I, Qiu, am capable of fighting you?"

Qingyu looked at Might Guy's expectant face and thought for a moment.

"If the grievances can be resolved through the Fivefold Conflict, perhaps there will be a chance."

Might Guy Kea was at the level to master four arts, but he was still very close to mastering the fifth.

Once Five Gates are opened, the speed will experience a qualitative leap.

In the original work, after Rock Lee unleashed his Five Arts, he completely overwhelmed Gaara in terms of power. If Gaara hadn't possessed the power of the Tailed Beast, he would have been defeated by Rock Lee long ago.

The current Kakashi does not have the Sharingan, and his dynamic vision cannot keep up with the rate at which the Five Arts are improving, so he would have a very difficult time against Might Guy.

"The Five Arts?"

Might Guy never imagined that only by mastering the Five Arts would he have a chance to fight Qingyu.

How strong is Qingyu?

Moreover, Might Guy is not yet able to perform the Five Arts.

Forcing Ren Wuqi to undergo surgery will have long-term health consequences.

One must allow the body to adapt to the load of the fourth art before one can begin the fifth art.

"I will definitely do my best."

[Collectible Trait Detected: Flame of Youth]

[D-Rank Trait: Flame of Youth]

[Effect: Reduces stamina recovery by 30%.]

[Crafting: Running 50 kilometers with a heavy load will lower the level of your higher-level trait.]

Fifty kilometers? That's not much.

97

Qingyu observed the special qualities that emerged.

A ninja's mission would likely cover a distance far exceeding this.

Of course, the simplest way is to break it down into several runs, ten kilometers each day, which will be completed quickly.

"I think it's very unfair."

Qingyu nodded.

Given Might Guy's talent, it was only a matter of time before he began to master the Five Arts.

Qingyu was very curious about what would happen if Might Guy really met the conditions for unlocking the Death Gate.

What qualities can he collect?

After all, to master the art of death, one must have a strong physical body.

The match then continued.

"Next match: Rin Nohara vs. Yamanaka Hei."

Nara Shikaku.

Rin Nohara stood up from the waiting area, took a deep breath, and Earth Flow.

As she passed Qingyu, she paused for a moment.

"Lin, keep going!"

Qingyu nodded at her.

Rin Nohara turned her head, her dark eyes meeting Qingyu's gaze.

"Um.

She nodded slightly, a blush rising to her cheeks, and then strode towards the field.

The outcome of the match was largely predictable.

The ninjas of the Yamanaka Clan were already quite strong in direct combat, and under Qingyu's influence, Rin Nohara's Genjutsu and Taijutsu were much stronger than in the original work.

She first used the "Hell Viewing Technique" to disrupt Yamanaka Hei's senses, then struck him on the back of the neck with a hand chop, thus ending the battle.

"Rin Nohara wins."

The Nara Shikaku stature test results have been announced.

Rin Nohara stepped down from the field and gave Qingyu a small victory sign.

Qingyu smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

In the following matches, Shizune Lucky Avenger drew a bye and advanced directly.

Yūhi Kurenai easily defeated a commoner Genin using Genjutsu.

Hyuga Ginka narrowly defeated an Aburame Clan ninja after a fierce battle.

The competition then moved to the third round.

This is usually the final round.

Because you will have very few ninjas left.

When the big screen started scrolling again, everyone's eyes were once again focused on the names that were flashing.

After a moment, the screen stopped.

A moment of silence fell over the waiting area between Hatake Kakashi and Qingyu.

Then came a hushed gasp.

This means it's a battle of geniuses.

This battle also drew the attention of the audience, who had been somewhat distracted.

Both Qingyu and Kakashi have very prestigious reputations.

So, Qingyu and Kakashi, who is the strongest genius?

Even ordinary people are very interested in the duel between the two actors.

"Finally, we're getting to the main topic."

Madara Uchiha on his hand.

He must have thoroughly enjoyed watching Qingyu fight Sarutobi Asuma.

However, Sarutobi Asuma was too strong, and he lost in just a few moves, completely failing to showcase Qingyu's prowess.

According to information about White Zetsu, Kakashi is White Fang Lingzi.

Madara Uchiha had also heard of Hatake Sakumo, but he hoped that Kakashi could hold out against Qingyu for a little longer.
