Lin Yu stood at a height, facing the wind. His originally gentle face now revealed a hint of sternness. He spoke, "What? Didn't you just say I wasn't as strong as you? My greatest pleasure is to fulfill wishes. I'll let you beat me up and then prove you have the strength to graduate early!"
Kakashi's face instantly flushed red. How could a ninja his father mentioned every day be weak? He was just a little unconvinced earlier, feeling that he was also so outstanding, yet his father never praised him!
Kakashi forced a calm demeanor and said, "Alright! I'd like to see what kind of strength a ninja praised by my father possesses!"
"As you wish!"
Lin Yu turned his head, three black tomoe appearing in his eyes. He said softly, "Come on, let me see the strength of the Hatake clan's genius, Hatake Kakashi!" Is it really possible to be evenly matched with anyone!
"This... is the Sharingan!" Seeing Lin Yu's pupils turn blood red, Kakashi quickly took out a kunai from his ninja pouch, somersaulted backward several times, and created distance between himself and Lin Yu.
"Don't worry, I won't use genjutsu on a child!" Lin Yu winked at Kakashi, signaling him to relax.
"Damn it! Don't underestimate me!"
Kakashi swiftly pulled out several shuriken from his back and threw them at Lin Yu, disappearing from his original spot in a flash.
"Oh? You've already learned the Body Flicker Technique? As expected of Sakumo-san's son."
Lin Yu's Sharingan spun in his eyes. He tilted his head slightly to dodge a shuriken, then reached out and caught another, throwing it back towards the shuriken that had already flown behind him. The two shuriken collided, creating a spark. Both shuriken then shot towards an empty spot nearby at a tricky angle.
"How is this possible! How did he know I was hiding here using the Transformation Jutsu! It must be a coincidence!"
Kakashi, who had transformed into a rock using the Transformation Jutsu, quickly dispelled the transformation and rolled to the left, dodging the shuriken.
Lin Yu shook his head and sighed, "It seems you still don't know what the Sharingan is! Be serious, otherwise, you might... die!"
The last word Lin Yu spoke was still lingering in the air, but he had already vanished from Kakashi's sight.
Kakashi was greatly alarmed, thinking: So fast! Damn it! Which side is it?
Kakashi's dark pupils frantically scanned his surroundings, trying to predict which direction Lin Yu would attack from. He shuffled backward slightly, attempting to find a more advantageous defensive position.
*Clang!*
It was from the left! Kakashi swung his kunai to the left. The expected sound of clashing weapons did not come. Kakashi's pupils contracted. How was this possible!
Lin Yu's figure appeared beside Kakashi, and he pinched Kakashi's kunai between two fingers, preventing him from retracting it no matter how hard he tried. He said dismissively, "Your awareness is decent, but your movements are too slow."
Lin Yu applied slight force with his fingers, and with a *ding*, the kunai was pinched in half and fell to the ground. His cold voice followed, "You're not calm enough against an enemy. If this were the battlefield, that moment of hesitation would have cost you your life!"
"Damn it!" Kakashi snapped back to his senses, performing several backflips to create distance, his face filled with anger. His hands rapidly formed hand seals: Snake - Ram - Monkey - Boar - Horse - Tiger.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Kakashi tilted his head back, placed his right hand in front of him, and condensed chakra in his throat. He exhaled through his masked mouth, and a ball of yellow flame lunged towards Lin Yu. It had considerable force, though it was a bit small.
Lin Yu felt a bit dizzy. Why always the Great Fireball Jutsu? This jutsu never seemed to injure anyone, let alone defeat an enemy. Couldn't they come up with something new?
Lin Yu stood there, lost in thought. The ninjutsu of Konoha seemed too limited. Should he learn the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu early and summon Tobirama Senju back to invent more ninjutsu?
That was a possibility. Lin Yu stroked his chin, completely ignoring the Great Fireball approaching him, as if it were just a small spark.
Soon, from Kakashi's perspective, the Great Fireball Jutsu enveloped Lin Yu without any obstruction. Kakashi's heart grew anxious: Damn it! Why is this foolish teacher so careless, actually taking my ninjutsu head-on while standing still!
Kakashi began to panic, unsure of what to do. He could only think wildly: Water should extinguish fire, right? I hope it's not too late.
"Water Style: Water Wave!"
Kakashi spat out a stream of water towards Lin Yu. Fire and water mixed, creating a grating "sizzle" sound. A wisp of white smoke slowly rose from Lin Yu's position.
Kakashi suddenly had a feeling that he had just roasted Lin Yu...
"Hiss! This Water Style is the perfect finishing touch. Just finished a sauna and then took a dip in the hot springs. So comfortable!"
Lin Yu's voice, as if he had just had a massage, came from the smoke, making Kakashi's face twitch: Listen to this person! It's like he's implying that I, Kakashi, am involved in that kind of business!
"Hey, are you alright? Do you need me to get you some pants?"
Kakashi looked at Lin Yu emerging from the smoke with his clothes tattered and couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude, saying sarcastically.
Lin Yu pulled off a scorched piece of his vest, revealing fair skin underneath, completely unblemished, not even a mark.
This time, Lin Yu had not used any ninjutsu to defend. He had purely taken the hit with his physical body. That's right, after four years of hard work, Lin Yu's Sage Body had been upgraded to an advanced Sage Body, fully comparable to the physique of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. He was only one step away from a perfect Sage Body.
This was also the confidence Lin Yu had to fight Madara Uchiha. Although he couldn't use Sage Mode yet, Madara Uchiha didn't have the Rinnegan either. His eyes were still stored with Nagato.
"Not bad. Although you're not even a genin, the power of your ninjutsu is comparable to that of Uchiha Tenichi, that dullard."
Lin Yu looked at Kakashi with some praise. He was indeed a genius who wanted to graduate early at the age of five. He could already skillfully use the Body Flicker Technique and C-rank ninjutsu. No wonder he didn't want to stay in the Ninja Academy playing house. If it were me... never mind, I, Uzumaki Lin Yu, haven't even been to school.
It was only then that Kakashi saw the skin beneath Lin Yu's torn clothes was as smooth as jade, without a single mark, and he exclaimed in shock, "What... what kind of body is this? I couldn't inflict any damage on you."
Lin Yu didn't answer Kakashi. He tugged at his tattered vest; at least it wasn't completely ruined and could still cover him a bit!
"Now it's my turn to make a move, Hatake Kakashi, prepare to die!"
"You... wait, how can you, a teacher, bully a student!" Kakashi's look of panic flashed and then vanished. To stubbornly persist despite knowing he was outmatched was called Obito; I, Kakashi, would never be like that!
"Didn't you decide to graduate? Then why should I hold back?"
"W-wait a moment, I can reconsider."
"It's too late! Eat this! Ultimate Taijutsu Secret Art - Thousand Years of Death!"
