"Hiruzen, has Sōkyū Hatake... awakened his chakra nature transformation?" Danzo stared at Sōkyū Hatake in the arena in disbelief.
As far as he remembered, only one situation could produce a scene like this.
It was the extremely rare awakening of chakra nature transformation!
After all, for an ordinary person, training their chakra to undergo nature transformation was already pretty damn impressive.
But in this ninja world, there was something else that few people had ever seen-or even knew about.
That was chakra nature awakening!
Once this awakening occurred, a scene much like Sōkyū Hatake's current state would appear, with elemental chakra enveloping the entire body!
And once awakened, that chakra nature would become effortless to use. In other words, it would be completely mastered.
"It is indeed a chakra nature awakening. At a time like this, we'd better not disturb him," Hiruzen Sarutobi said after some thought.
"Then now..." Danzo looked at Sōkyū Hatake with some reluctance. After all, if they stopped now, Sōkyū Hatake could be considered to have lost.
For Danzo, that would mean losing his wager with Hiruzen Sarutobi, which was hardly a good thing.
"That's our only option. Surround this area and clear everyone else out," Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered the Anbu ninja.
He had thought today would be a sure thing, only for so many unexpected developments to arise.
A chakra nature awakening? Those one-in-ten-thousand odds meant Sōkyū Hatake was certain to shine brilliantly in the future.

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched Sōkyū Hatake, who was still surrounded by lightning, a gleam flashing through his eyes.
Fortunately, he had long since brought a talent of this caliber under his control!
"The match is now suspended. I declare the winner to be..."
Bzzzt!
Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was about to make his announcement, the lightning around Sōkyū Hatake
