In the water, Kisame Hoshigaki's figure reappeared. He and his puppet stood in the torrent, like the monarch of this sea of death, with his grinning mouth filled with bloodthirsty pleasure.
"Hey hey hey... welcome to... our hunting grounds!"
The situation was reversed in an instant!
Now, it's Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi's turn to fall into each other's territory!
"Damn it!"
Kakashi and his puppet stood on a footing barely created by Earth Release. The soil under their feet was being rapidly corroded by the purple-red water, making a "sizzling" sound.
The air is filled with suffocating damp heat and the violent smell of Tailed Beast Chakra.
What's even more troublesome is that this body of water greatly limits their movement!
"Father!" Kakashi looked at Hatake Sakumo anxiously.
Hatake Sakumo's expression remained calm, but his eyes became more serious.
[Trouble... The opponent's Chakra capacity is almost unlimited. With that Water Release ninja, in this water area, we will definitely lose the war of attrition.]
[The only way to break the situation is to get rid of the girl quickly.]
Hatake Sakumo's gaze, like an unsheathed sharp blade, locked onto the figure suspended above the water with three tails swinging slowly.
"Kakashi, manufacturing opportunity!"
With a command, Hatake Sakumo's figure disappeared from the spot.
The next second, he was like a god walking on the waves, tapping his toes on the turbulent water, so fast that he could only leave a series of afterimages, almost Rin Nohara!
The high-frequency Chakra Blade in his hand once again lit up the extremely restrained white silk thread!
"Don't even think about it!"
Kisame Hoshigaki and his puppet shouted at the same time, and the two huge Samehada set off huge waves and turned into two thick walls of water, trying to block the advance of Hatake Sakumo.
And Kakashi also moved. He wrapped Lightning Release all over his body and turned into a coat made of thunder and lightning that looked like a hound.
"Lightning Release·Thunder Beast Chasing Fang!"
This form directly increased Kakashi's speed to the extreme. He squatted half-crouched, got on all fours and bypassed the water wall with extreme speed, and rushed straight towards Rin Nohara!
This assessment once again changed from one-on-one to two-on-two!
However, just when Hatake Sakumo was about to cut through the water wall, Kakashi was also about to approach the target.
A sudden change occurred!
Rin Nohara's scarlet beast eyes shrank suddenly when they saw Kakashi coming towards them!
That violent, all-destroying will, at this moment, showed an undetectable wavering.
"Roar..."
She subconsciously raised her Chakra giant claw, trying to crush the thunder beast.
But the giant claw stopped strangely in the middle of its swing.
Rin Nohara still can't bear to hurt Kakashi.
Tsk!
On the other side, Hatake Sakumo's knife has broken through the water wall and appeared in front of Kisame Hoshigaki!
The father and son have a clear division of labor. Kakashi attracts Three-Tails from the front, while Hatake Sakumo attacks the other person from the side.
Outside the venue, everyone held their breath!
However, Rin Nohara's body made a reaction that everyone expected.
She ignored Kakashi's surprise attack and rushed towards Hatake Sakumo.
At the same time, the three tails that emerged directly behind her were like the three strongest shields, blocking her and Hatake Sakumo's blade at a faster speed!
Poof--!!!
The sound of a sharp knife penetrating flesh was heard!
Hatake Sakumo's indestructible high-frequency Chakra Blade was stuck tightly by the three tails emerging from behind Rin Nohara. It only penetrated a little and could no longer move forward!
Hatake Sakumo's pupils shrank suddenly.
He understood.
The opponent wanted to block his knife with his tail and knock him away with his body, so as to avoid the battle with Kakashi!
She doesn't want to hurt Kakashi!
This thought flashed through my mind like lightning, and the movements of Hatake Sakumo's hands subconsciously slowed down by half a minute.
But Rin Nohara seized this opportunity!
"Roar!!!"
She opened her mouth, and a highly concentrated black Chakra ball exuding the aura of destruction was formed instantly!
Small Tailed Beast Bomb!
At such a close distance, Hatake Sakumo cannot avoid it!
At this critical moment!
"Father!"
The figure of Kakashi wearing Lightning Release appeared in front of Hatake Sakumo like a teleport!
The space around Tailed Beast Bomb, which was about to explode, was distorted visible to the naked eye!
Seeing that the twisted space is about to collapse, both father and son will die here!
Suddenly, the already extremely unstable Tailed Beast Bomb collapsed without warning... on its own!
It turned into violent Chakra turbulence and swept away in all directions!
Boom!
Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi were severely shaken by the aftermath, and rolled awkwardly on the water for more than ten meters before regaining their balance.
The instigator, Rin Nohara, also suffered backlash because he forcibly stopped Tailed Beast Bomb. A blood arrow spurted out from his mouth, and the Chakra Cloak on his body became a little darker.
The whole place was dead silent.
Hatake Sakumo looked at the staggering girl not far away, her eyes full of pain and struggle, and then looked at her son next to her who was pale and gasping for air.
At this moment he understood everything.
From letting go of water at the beginning of the battle, to subconsciously protecting Kakashi after going on a rampage, to forcibly stopping Tailed Beast Bomb at the last moment...
This girl, from beginning to end, never thought about actually hurting Kakashi.
This battle is meaningless now.
He slowly raised his right hand.
"We... give in."
The dull voice spread throughout the training ground through the radio.
Kisame Hoshigaki, who was about to pounce again, suddenly froze, his face full of astonishment.
The Public Security Department elites outside the court were in an uproar.
Oops... lost again!
As the broadcast announced the end of the game, the purple-red ocean in the stadium receded like a tide.
The blood Chakra on Rin Nohara also slowly dissipated. Her body went limp and she almost fell down, but was supported by Kisame Hoshigaki in time.
the other side.
Hatake Sakumo walked up to Kakashi and patted him on the shoulder.
"Kakashi." Hatake Sakumo's voice was very soft, "Do you know that "examiner"?"
Kakashi did not answer.
What Senju Chen said to him before echoed over and over in his mind.
Surprise...
Is this... the surprise you were talking about?
But... why?
If she's still alive... why not come back? Why... here?
Countless questions, like wildly growing vines, tightly wrapped around his heart, making him almost unable to breathe.
He slowly turned around and looked at the girl opposite, who was supported by his companion and also cast a complicated look at him.
Is it really... you?
... Lin?
