Many people immediately surrounded both sides.
" Kakashi is participating too?"
"And Might Guy."
"The third person is Boss Zhang Yu."
Who will win?
"In terms of speed, it should be Might Guy, right?"
"He's a Taijutsu expert."
" Kakashi isn't weak either."
Where is Boss Zhang Yu?
I've never seen him travel at full speed.
"He must be someone who can get the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha to work for him, so he can't be bad."
The three people are standing on the same line.
Kai was tense all over.
Kakashi also abandoned his usual carefree demeanor.
Zhang Yu, however, stood very casually.
Kai turned and reminded him, " Boss Zhang Yu."
I'll go all out from the start.
Don't be careless!
"Rest assured."
Zhang Yu picked up a pebble from the ground.
"The stone has landed; the game begins."
Kai stared at the pebble in his hand.
Kakashi also lowered his center of gravity.
Zhang Yu casually tossed a pebble into the air.
The pebble rose to its highest point, paused for a moment, and then quickly fell.
Snap!
The moment the pebble hit the ground, Kai's figure had already shot off.
A green afterimage swept across the middle of the street.
A cloud of dust rose from the ground.
Kakashi started almost simultaneously.
A white afterimage followed closely behind Kai.
The two of them, one after the other, rushed across the end of the street in the blink of an eye.
The onlookers only felt a blur before their eyes.
By the time they realized what was happening, Zhang Yu was the only one left on the spot.
"So fast!"
"I can't see it at all!"
" Might Guy is in the lead!"
" Kakashi is right behind us!"
Why isn't Boss Zhang Yu moving yet?
Many people looked at Zhang Yu with suspicion.
Given Guy and Kakashi's speed, a few more seconds of delay will only widen the gap.
Zhang Yu, however, was not in a hurry at all.
Even with the best route, it would take two or three minutes to run from here to the First Hokage Rock at full speed.
He didn't intend to accompany the two of them all the way up.
Zhang Yu raised his head.
His eyes instantly turned scarlet.
Three black Tomoe slowly rotated in his eyes.
The next moment, the space around his right eye began to distort.
Zhang Yu's body was then drawn into the vortex.
From shoulders to legs, the person vanished in an instant.
Passersby on the street all stared wide-eyed.
Where are they?
" Boss Zhang Yu has disappeared!"
What kind of Ninjutsu was that just now?
Space-Time Ninjutsu?
"He's not going straight to Hokage Rock, is he?"
No one could answer that.
The top of the First Hokage Rock.
A spatial vortex appeared out of nowhere.
Zhang Yu emerged from the vortex and landed steadily on the rock top.
A mountain breeze blew past from the side.
The entire Konoha below is laid out before you.
The buildings on the street have shrunk considerably.
Kai and Kakashi were still on their way, not even a shadow of them in sight.
Zhang Yu raised his hands and quickly Hand Seals.
" Wood Release: Four-Sided Table and Chair Technique."
The ground trembled slightly.
Several wooden strips emerged from the cracks in the rock, intertwining with each other.
In the blink of an eye, a square table and three wooden chairs appeared at the top of the Hokage Rock.
The desktop is flat.
The chairs were also arranged neatly.
Zhang Yu walked to the table and sat down.
He took out the system's tea set and arranged the teapot and teacups in order.
Pour hot water into the kettle.
The tea leaves tumbled a few times, and the aroma quickly spread.
Zhang Yu poured himself a cup of tea and leaned back in his chair to wait patiently.
A minute passed.
No one appeared.
Two minutes passed.
Footsteps finally came from afar.
In the third minute, Kai burst out from below the mountain road.
His legs moved rapidly, his whole body like a green light, and the last step landed heavily on the top of the rock.
"I have arrived!"
Kai suddenly stopped.
He put his hands on his hips, took a few deep breaths, and then smiled.
"As expected, I'm number one!"
" Kakashi is still behind!"
Kai looked back at the mountain road.
Kakashi appeared quickly.
The white afterimage leaped over several rocks and landed steadily at the top.
He straightened up, his breathing also somewhat rapid.
Kai immediately gave a thumbs up.
" Kakashi!"
"I won again!"
" Boss Zhang Yu hasn't arrived yet."
"I not only beat you, I beat him too!"
"In a battle of Taijutsu and speed, my youth truly reigns supreme!"
Kakashi did not answer immediately.
He looked up and glanced at the top of the Hokage Rock.
"Not necessarily."
Kai looked confident.
We didn't see him anywhere along the way.
"He can't possibly be faster than me!"
Kakashi casually remarked, "Maybe Boss Zhang Yu has already arrived and even brewed the tea."
Kai laughed heartily, taking it as Kakashi joking.
Kai chuckled a few times and turned to look at the top of the Hokage Rock.
The next second, the smile on his face froze.
Kakashi followed his gaze, and his breath caught in his throat.
Not far away, a wooden table sits atop the rock.
Three wooden chairs were placed on the table.
Zhang Yu sat calmly in one of the chairs, holding a teacup in his hand, slowly sipping his tea.
The teapot on the table was still steaming.
Seeing the two looking over, Zhang Yu put down his teacup, smiled, and waved to them.
"You've finally arrived."
Kai stood there, motionless for a long time.
When he rushed up the Hokage Rock, all his attention was on Kakashi, and he didn't look at the other side at all.
Only now did he realize that Zhang Yu had already arrived.
Not only did they arrive, but they also prepared tables, chairs, and tea.
Kai looked down at his feet, then looked back at the mountain path he had come from.
How is that possible?
We haven't seen you anywhere along the way.
" Boss Zhang Yu, when did you arrive?"
Zhang Yu picked up his teacup.
After the stone landed.
Kai's eyes widened instantly.
"You arrived just as the pebble landed?"
"Almost."
Zhang Yu blew on the tea leaves on the surface of the water to disperse them.
"It did take a little time to brew the tea."
Kai's expression completely crumbled.
He and Kakashi traveled at full speed.
Three streets.
A residential area.
In addition, there's the mountain path leading to the top of Hokage Rock.
It didn't stop even once in between.
In order to win, he even used the speed he usually only used in training.
While they were still halfway there, Zhang Yu was already sitting there making tea.
Kai looked down at his legs.
The soreness from the sprint hasn't gone away yet.
Sweat was streaming down his forehead.
But Zhang Yu sat there, his clothes neat, his breathing steady, and even his hair was perfectly styled.
The difference between the two is far more than just a little.
"We lost."
Kai scratched his head, his face a mixture of shock and helplessness.
"This defeat was too complete."
Kakashi stood to the side, his one exposed eye fixed on Zhang Yu.
Although he guessed that Zhang Yu might have already arrived, he never expected that his casual remark would become a reality.
Tables and chairs.
teapot.
Three teacups.
Zhang Yu had clearly been waiting for some time.
Kakashi slowly exhaled.
" Space-Time Ninjutsu."
"You distorted space when you set out, and arrived here directly."
Zhang Yu nodded.
"I can understand it fairly well."
Kakashi's gaze became even more serious.
He had witnessed the Flying Thunder God.
They also know how difficult Space-Time Ninjutsu is to master.
