However, the technique Zhang Yu used was completely different from the Flying Thunder God.
No pre-positioning of the surgical technique is required.
There's no need to touch any markers.
By distorting space, one can disappear from one place and reappear at the target location.
This method of travel is incomparable to ordinary speeds.
Kai finally came to his senses.
He turned to look at Kakashi, his expression turning strange.
" Kakashi."
Did you already know?
Kakashi was taken aback for a moment.
"What do you know?"
"You just said that Boss Zhang Yu arrived a long time ago and even brewed tea."
Kai pointed to the table.
"There really is tea here now."
"The tables and chairs are exactly as you described."
"What a coincidence!"
Kakashi immediately took half a step back to the side.
"I was just saying it offhand."
"Real?"
Kai squinted.
"Did you discuss this with Boss Zhang Yu beforehand?"
How is that possible?
Kakashi took another step back.
"The competition was something you proposed on the spur of the moment."
"You chose the Hokage Rock too."
How can I discuss this in advance?
Kai thought about it seriously.
The venue for the competition was indeed decided by him at the last minute.
Even Kakashi's participation in the competition was something he forcibly dragged into.
Zhang Yu couldn't have known in advance.
Kakashi was absolutely right.
They even guessed correctly what the tea would be brewed.
Kai still felt something was off.
"Then how did you know there was tea here?"
Kakashi raised his hand to cover his forehead.
"Because Boss Zhang Yu never intended to compete with us in terms of running speed."
"Since he was able to arrive early, it's normal for him to sit here and wait."
"I just guessed what I was making the tea from."
Kai was still somewhat skeptical.
"You really didn't all conspire to lie to me?"
"No."
Kakashi answered quickly.
Zhang Yu looked at the two of them and tapped the table with his hand.
How long are you planning to stand there and talk?
The tea is almost cold.
Kai then looked away.
He and Kakashi walked to the table and each pulled out a wooden chair to sit down.
The two looked down at the tea in front of them, then glanced at Zhang Yu seemed relaxed.
Even now, they still think the match was somewhat outrageous.
Kai picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking the warm tea, the heat from the previous sprint subsided considerably.
"Comfortable!"
Kakashi pulled down a corner of his mask, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.
He didn't finish it like Kai did.
After traveling such a long distance, he was indeed thirsty.
The cup of tea was quickly emptied.
Zhang Yu picked up the teapot and refilled the teapot for the two of them.
Kai stared at the rising steam from the cup and suddenly laughed.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
You won this match.
I accept my defeat wholeheartedly.
Kakashi nodded.
"In terms of speed alone, we have no chance of winning."
"To be precise, this is no longer a matter of speed."
Kai put down his teacup.
"Simply traverse space to reach the destination."
"Using this ability in a competition is simply too unfair!"
Zhang Yu glanced at him.
"You set the rules."
"It only comes down to who reaches the top of the First Hokage Rock first."
"It didn't say that Ninjutsu couldn't be used."
Kay was speechless.
Before the match began, he only thought about winning through Taijutsu and speed.
They didn't even consider that Zhang Yu might use Space-Time Ninjutsu.
There are no restrictions.
Zhang Yu's actions were not considered a foul.
Kai quickly accepted the result.
A loss is a loss.
"Young men don't make excuses!"
After he finished speaking, he slammed his hand on the table.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
"You said before that if I lost, I would have to do something for you."
"Speak."
"Whatever it is, I will get it done!"
Zhang Yu picked up the two invitations placed on the table and handed them to Kakashi and Guy respectively.
"Keep this safe first."
Kakashi accepted the invitation.
" Undead Tavern Summer Festival "
"So even when we lose, there are consequences?"
"The invitations were originally for you."
Zhang Yu said, "The stakes for the match are that if Kai wins, he gets a free meal at the tavern for one day."
After hearing this, Kai slapped his thigh in regret.
"I almost got a free day!"
Kakashi glanced at him.
You had no chance of winning from the start.
" Kakashi!"
Kai immediately turned his head.
Youth can end in failure, but it should never end prematurely!
"That's true."
I'll definitely win next time!
"You should first figure out how to catch up with the Space-Time Ninjutsu."
Kai fell silent again.
It would indeed be quite difficult for him to catch up with Space-Time Ninjutsu using only his legs.
Zhang Yu finished his tea and stood up.
"Kai."
"Come with me."
Kai immediately stood up as well.
"Does the task need to be discussed separately?"
"That's right."
"Could it be some kind of secret mission?"
Kai's expression turned serious.
"Rest assured."
No matter how dangerous the mission, I will not back down!
Zhang Yu didn't explain, but led him to the other side of the Hokage Rock.
Kakashi sat at the table, holding a teacup, and looked at the two of them.
He appeared indifferent on the surface, but his ears were already perked up.
Zhang Yu glanced back.
Kakashi immediately looked away and began studying the invitation in his hand.
Zhang Yu then led Kai a few steps further away.
After confirming that Kakashi couldn't hear their conversation, he raised his hand.
Two gold badges appeared in his palm.
Kai looked down.
"What's this?"
" Brotherhood Badge."
Zhang Yu handed the badge to Kai.
Your task is simple.
"I will personally give one of them to Kakashi."
"Make him accept it sincerely."
Kai picked up a badge and examined it several times.
"Just for Kakashi?"
"That's right."
"That's way too easy!"
Kai gripped the badge tightly.
" Kakashi is my lifelong rival, and also my best friend."
"He'll definitely accept it as long as I ask!"
Zhang Yu cautioned, "Don't secretly put it in his pocket."
"We can't force him."
"You can't slip it to him when he's not looking."
"He has to accept it willingly."
Kai straightened his body.
"No problem!"
I will win him over with my youth and sincerity!
Zhang Yu pointed to the back of the badge.
"Once he truly accepts it, his name will automatically appear on the back."
"You've only completed the task if your name appears."
Kai stared at the smooth back of the badge, his fighting spirit intensifying.
"So there's this kind of test."
" Boss Zhang Yu, don't worry!"
"I'll make sure Kakashi accepts it today!"
Zhang Yu nodded.
Kakashi is shrewd and highly vigilant.
If you offer it to them directly, they might not accept it.
It's perfect to have Kai handle this.
Their relationship is what it is.
If Kai keeps pestering him, Kakashi will eventually give in.
Zhang Yu wasn't in a hurry.
The system will automatically provide a notification whether the task has been completed.
The two returned to the table.
Kakashi put down the invitation and looked at them.
"Are you done talking?"
"That's all."
Kai walked up to him, his expression more serious than ever before.
Kakashi sensed something was wrong and instinctively leaned back a little.
"Kai."
What do you want to do?
