Zhang Yu stopped and turned around to look.
Might Guy had already leaped into the air.
The green bodysuit stood out on the street.
His body spun rapidly, and his right leg swept powerfully toward Kakashi.
Kakashi raised his arms to block in front of him.
Bang!
The sound of a collision rang out.
Two shallow marks were left on the ground beneath Kakashi's feet.
The kick sent him flying back seven or eight meters until he crashed into a wooden stake and came to a stop.
Nearby passersby took a few steps back.
A shop owner quickly protected the shelves in front of the door.
"It's starting again."
What are they competing in this time?
"Have no idea."
"Yesterday seemed to be a competition to see who could run around Konoha handstand the fastest."
The day before yesterday, we were having a competition to see who could do more push-ups with one hand.
Aren't these two people tired every day?
"Mainly because Might Guy isn't tired."
Kakashi lowered his arms and shook his slightly numb wrists.
"Kai."
That's all for today.
"I still haven't written my mission report."
Might Guy landed back on the ground, assuming a stance to continue his attack.
" Kakashi!"
"You're trying to escape the battles of youth again!"
This is not an escape.
"I really have something to do."
No excuse can stop me from pursuing my youth!
Kai bent his knees slightly, preparing to charge forward again.
Just then, a hand landed on his shoulder.
The movements were very gentle.
Kai's body froze instantly.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He had been staring at Kakashi the whole time.
He was fully aware of the sounds, breaths, and footsteps around him.
But he didn't even notice someone coming up behind him.
If instead of a hand, a Kunai landed on your shoulder...
Kai suddenly turned his head.
Upon seeing who it was, he exclaimed in surprise.
" Boss Zhang Yu!"
Zhang Yu's hand was still on his shoulder.
There are so many people on the street.
"Aren't you two afraid of breaking things if you start fighting?"
Kai took a step back.
When he looked at Zhang Yu again, his gaze had changed.
She could approach him silently from behind and touch his shoulder without him noticing.
This kind of speed and breath control is something that ordinary ninjas absolutely cannot achieve.
Kai's surprise quickly turned into excitement.
Their fighting spirit also rose.
"Really!"
My feeling was right!
" Boss Zhang Yu, you are a true powerhouse!"
Kakashi leaned against the wooden stake, raising his hand to cover his forehead.
He knows Kai too well.
Just by looking at Kai's expression, you can guess what's going to happen next.
Zhang Yu withdrew his hand.
What are you trying to say?
Kai jumped back two steps.
He straightened up, flashed a bright white smile, and gave Zhang Yu a thumbs-up.
" Boss Zhang Yu!"
"Let's have a youthful competition!"
His voice echoed through the streets once again.
Passersby who were about to leave stopped in their tracks.
All eyes were on Zhang Yu.
Kakashi sighed helplessly.
"Really."
He walked back from beside the wooden stake.
"Kai, Boss Zhang Yu has his own things to do."
Not everyone has time to play along with your nonsense.
This is no joke!
Kai immediately retorted.
"This is a clash of youthful strength between two powerful individuals!"
Kakashi looked at Zhang Yu.
You don't need to pay attention to him.
"If you refuse him once, he'll go find someone else a little while later."
Who said I was going to refuse?
Zhang Yu interrupted him.
Kakashi stopped moving.
"What?"
Zhang Yu looked at Kai.
"The game is fine."
"You decide on the content."
There was a moment of silence.
Kakashi glanced at Zhang Yu, then at Kai.
He originally wanted to help Zhang Yu out of that predicament.
To my surprise, Zhang Yu agreed immediately.
Kai's eyes lit up completely.
Are you really willing?
"Certainly."
"Very good!"
Kai clenched his fists and jumped up on the spot in excitement.
This is what true youth is all about!
" Kakashi, did you see that?"
" Boss Zhang Yu accepted my challenge without any hesitation!"
Kai turned and pointed at Kakashi.
"Look at you again!"
You always look so listless!
"Even the flame of youth is almost extinguished!"
Kakashi's eyelid twitched.
"Wasn't it me you just challenged?"
"It's a three-person game now!"
Kai grabbed Kakashi's arm.
You must participate too!
Kakashi tried to pull it back twice, but couldn't.
Why should I participate?
"Because you are my lifelong rival!"
"That's not a reason."
" Kakashi!"
"Let go."
"Unless you agree!"
Kakashi and he were locked in a standoff for a few seconds.
Passersby on the street had already begun to gather and watch.
If this continues, it will only attract more people.
Kakashi could only sigh.
"OK."
"I'll participate."
Kai immediately let go of him.
"That's more like it!"
"The dormant youth has finally awakened!"
Kakashi flexed his wrists.
"Hurry up and decide what to compete in."
"I really do have mission reports."
Kai looked up at the Hokage Rock in the distance.
Several enormous Hokage heads stand above the village.
The First Hokage Rock is located at the highest point and is the most prominent.
"Let's compete on speed!"
Kai raised his hand and pointed to the First Hokage Rock.
"Start from here."
"Whoever reaches the top of the First Hokage Rock first wins!"
Kakashi followed his hand and looked over.
The distance to Hokage Rock from our current position isn't short.
The journey involves crossing several streets and then climbing up the mountainside.
This isn't just about speed.
They also need to compete in physical strength, Chakra control, and route selection.
"Can."
Kakashi nodded.
"The rules are simple."
Zhang Yu had no objections.
"Then it's settled."
He raised his hand, and two Summer Festival invitations appeared in his palm.
Guy and Kakashi both looked over at the same time.
"This is an invitation to the Undead Tavern Summer Festival."
Zhang Yu waved the invitation card.
"It was originally intended as a gift for you."
"But since we're going to have a competition, let's add a little bet."
Kay immediately asked, "What's the stake?"
"If you win, both invitations are yours."
Zhang Yu said, "In addition, you can also get a free meal at the Undead Tavern for one day."
"Everything, including food and drinks, is free that day."
Kakashi wasn't in much spirits at first.
Upon hearing that it was a free day, the one eye that was sticking out immediately became more serious.
The drinks and food at the Undead Tavern are not cheap.
A free day is certainly an attractive offer.
Kai clenched his fist on the spot.
"One day free!"
"I'll take this bet!"
What if I lose?
Zhang Yu put away one invitation, keeping only one in his hand.
You have to promise me one thing.
Kai did not ask for specific details.
"No problem!"
"A young man is not afraid of any gamble!"
Kakashi glanced at him.
You'd better find out what it is first.
"Unnecessary!"
Kai assumed a starting stance.
Because I won't lose!
Seeing this, Kakashi didn't bother to continue trying to persuade him.
He walked to Kai's side and leaned forward slightly.
Passersby on the street, seeing that the three were about to have a competition, quickly made way for them.
