Watching the Match
The match between Hatake Kakashi and Sasori of the Red Sands is destined to be a fierce battle.
Therefore, even Uchiha Yue was very much looking forward to seeing how Hatake Kakashi and Sasori of the Red Sands would perform in the match. Soon after, Shikaku Nara brought Hatake Kakashi and Sasori of the Red Sands to the arena, Uchiha Yue went to the stands to watch their match and, incidentally, to find Sasori of the Red Sands's weaknesses in the battle.
However, just as Uchiha Yue stepped into the stands, Kushina Uzumaki appeared beside him, familiarly placing her hand on his shoulder, and said with slight annoyance, "Yue, why didn't you stall for more time when you were fighting Mei Terumi? Do you know that because you defeated Mei Terumi in three minutes, I lost the bet!"
"Uh... Kushina, what are you doing?"
Hearing Kushina Uzumaki's words, Uchiha Yue looked confused and turned to Minato Namikaze, asking, "Minato- kun, did you and Kushina have a bet?"
"That's right, Moon Lord, I should thank you!"
As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Minato Namikaze smiled slightly and said, "Kushina bet that you would defeat Mei Terumi in five minutes, while I bet that you would defeat Mei Terumi in three minutes. So, Yue-kun, you defeated Mei Terumi in three minutes, which allowed me to win against Kushina! Kushina lost the bet, so she'll have to wash my clothes for a month! Hahahaha!"
Seeing Minato Namikaze's hearty laughter, and then turning to look at the furious Kushina Uzumaki, a slight smile crept onto Uchiha Yue's Kakuzu. However, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki had clearly not come to challenge Uchiha Yue to a duel. Kushina Uzumaki then took a deep breath and said to Uchiha Yue, "Tsuki-kun, the match between Kakashi and Sasori of the Red Sands is about to begin. What do you think Kakashi's chances of winning are?"
"About forty percent!"
Analyzing the strengths of Hatake Kakashi and Sasori of the Red Sands, Uchiha Yue didn't hesitate for a moment, saying, "Kakashi and Sasori of the Red Sands are quite strong, but because Sasori of the Red Sands is skilled in using poison, Kakashi's chances of winning are slightly lower. Furthermore, Kakashi excels in close combat, Sasori of the Red Sands's puppets can somewhat counter Kakashi. Therefore, I feel Sasori of the Red Sands has a better chance of winning. Kakashi needs to work even harder to defeat Sasori of the Red Sands!"
Suddenly, Uchiha Yue thought of something and turned to ask Minato Namikaze, "Minato- kun, during your month-long break, did you train Kakashi?"
"Of course, I trained Kakashi with Kushina!"
Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze smiled and nodded confidently, saying, "As long as Kakashi can utilize the results of his training, he should have a 60% chance of winning against Sasori of the Red Sands. Unfortunately, I don't know Sasori of the Red Sands's true strength. If Sasori of the Red Sands is hiding some trump card, then Kakashi will be in danger."
Upon hearing Minato Namikaze announce the start of the match, Shikaku Nara said, "Alright, let's not discuss this here anymore. Let's go watch Kakashi's match!"
"Good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki nodded emphatically in reply. Then, the three of them went to the stands to watch the match between Uchiha Yue Hatake Kakashi and Sasori of the Red Sands. Moreover, not only were Uchiha Yue and the others looking forward to the match between Hatake Kakashi Sasori of the Red Sands, but the spectators in the stands were also eagerly anticipating a perfect performance from Sasori of the Red Sands.
After all, both Hatake Kakashi and Sasori of the Red Sands performed exceptionally well when they advanced. In addition, both Hatake Kakashi and Sasori of the Red Sands are quite famous in the Shinobi World, so the spectators in the stands cheered as soon as the match started, which made the fighting spirit of Hatake Kakashi and Sasori of the Red Sands in the arena even stronger.
However, upon learning that Hatake Kakashi was the son of Konoha's White Fang, Sasori of the Red Sands's eyes flashed with icy killing intent as he looked at Hatake Kakashi. Clearly, Sasori of the Red Sands could never forget the hatred for his parents, and now, facing the descendant of Konoha's Sasori of the Red Sands Konoha's White Fang in the arena, he felt his body burning with fervor, unleashing two hundred percent of his power in the battle.
Hatake Kakashi was equally excited, as he only needed to defeat Sasori of the Red Sands in front of him to advance to the finals.
Immediately afterwards...
The moment Shikaku Nara announced the start of the match, Hatake Kakashi and Sasori of the Red Sands launched their respective attacks.
However, seeing Hatake Kakashi and Sasori of the Red Sands locked in combat on the field, Uchiha Yue suddenly frowned slightly and muttered, "Kakashi, don't fight Sasori of the Red Sands like this!"
"Um?"
As if hearing Uchiha Yue's murmur, Kushina Uzumaki frowned and asked, "Yue, is there a problem with Kakashi dealing with Sasori of the Red Sands like this?"
"The problem is serious; Kakashi has fallen into Sasori of the Red Sands's rhythm!"
Watching Hatake Kakashi intently in the arena, Uchiha Yue, after hearing Kushina Uzumaki's words, said very seriously, "Sasori of the Red Sands, as Puppet Master, can use a small amount of Chakra to control his puppets to attack. However, judging from Hatake Kakashi's fighting style, he's completely trying to engage in a war of attrition with Sasori of the Red Sands! But the Chakra Hatake Clan doesn't have much chakra to begin with. If Kakashi and Sasori of the Red Sands continue this war of attrition, Kakashi will ultimately be the one to lose!"
"And..."
Uchiha Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, "Furthermore, Sasori of the Red Sands is skilled in using poison. If Kakashi fights like this, he could very well be poisoned by Sasori of the Red Sands!"
"Yes, Tsuki-kun is right."
As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Minato Namikaze nodded heavily in agreement with Uchiha Yue's point of view.
And, just as Uchiha Yue had guessed, the moment Uchiha Yue Minato Namikaze arrived, Hatake Kakashi was immediately embroiled in a fierce battle. What worried Uchiha Yue even more was that after only a few rounds of fighting Sasori of the Red Sands, Hatake Kakashi was injured by Sasori's Hatake Kakashi. Undoubtedly, Sasori of the Red Sands had used Sasori of the Red Sands during his attack, so if Hatake Kakashi wasn't dealt with quickly, he could very well die from Sasori of the Red Sands 'Sasori of the Red Sands deadly venom!
Immediately afterwards...
Uchiha Yue noticed that Hatake Kakashi in the arena was moving slower and slower, and a look of pain appeared on his face.
Using his Purple Eye to perceive Hatake Kakashi 'Hatake Kakashi wound, Uchiha Yue noticed black blood flowing from it. His eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed in a slightly panicked voice to Minato Namikaze beside him, "Oh no, Minato- kun! Quickly ask Shikaku- san to stop the match! Kakashi has been poisoned by Sasori of the Red Sands; he needs immediate help!"
