Chapter 8: Chapter 8: The Tragic Gekko Hayate
In the Ninja Academy training ground, a spot was cleared. This was where Ten'en and Gekko Hayate would spar.
"Ten'en, and Gekko Hayate, sparring is fine, but stop before you seriously hurt each other," the ninja instructor said to the two. This was just a student spar. Minor injuries were acceptable, but serious injuries were not.
Ninjas dealt with blood, but they were still only students. This was also Konoha's policy; the young sprouts were always the most important. If it were in Kirigakure, it would probably be very tragic. One could say that among the Great Nations, Konoha was a very peaceful ninja village.
"Understood, Teacher." Ten'en and Gekko Hayate nodded, then both directly charged at each other.
"Bang." Ten'en and Gekko Hayate's fists collided. Ten'en's body didn't budge, while Gekko Hayate's body retreated a short distance.
"Hmph." Gekko Hayate's figure flashed, appearing above Ten'en. His right leg chopped down like a giant axe. Fierce winds continuously blew, making Ten'en's clothes flap. It was clear that Gekko Hayate's taijutsu was quite good.
For Gekko Hayate, at such a young age, to stand out from the Ninja Academy was quite impressive. Don't let the fact that Gekko Hayate only reached Special Jonin in the end fool you; he became a Chunin at the age of thirteen. Of course, at present, Gekko Hayate was just a little brat.
Seeing this powerful attack, Ten'en didn't dodge. He put his hands up, directly blocking Gekko Hayate's attack. "So, Hayate, let me show you my true strength." Ten'en, with a hint of a sinister smile, forcefully flipped. Gekko Hayate was actually lifted up. Then Ten'en kicked off with both legs, and his entire body soared into the air. His right leg whipped out like a whip.
"Not good." Gekko Hayate wanted to block, but Ten'en's attack caught him off guard, and his entire body was sent flying backward. In a short period of time, their taijutsu clash was like a confrontation between two Genin.
"So amazing! Gekko Hayate's strength was already known to be strong, but I never expected Ten'en to be so powerful." "That's right, the powerful Gekko Hayate was actually suppressed. In the past few rounds of attacks, Ten'en clearly held the advantage." "This time, will Ten'en win?" "But why is he only unleashing his strength now? Is it for the upcoming graduation? Is Ten'en graduating early?" "Possibly. Ten'en might really be graduating early, that's why he's unleashing his current strength."
"He's actually that amazing." Anko snorted. The ninja academy instructor also nodded with satisfaction. It was very gratifying to see outstanding students in his class.
"Not good." At this moment, the ninja instructor saw Ten'en directly take out a kunai, transform it into a beam of light, and shoot it towards Gekko Hayate. As a Chunin, the instructor was too late to intervene. Someone's going to die. This was the ninja instructor's thought. Other ninja students also exclaimed in shock. Although Gekko Hayate's reputation in the ninja academy wasn't good, a death here was something the students, who hadn't seen much blood, couldn't accept.
Ten'en looked at the kunai embedded in Gekko Hayate's body and didn't relax, because with a "bang," Gekko Hayate's body directly turned into a pile of wood. Substitution Jutsu.
"Phew." The ninja instructor, who was about to intervene, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no one died. Their duel truly resembled a duel between two Genin.
Ten'en held the kunai, vigilantly observing his surroundings. A faint laugh came from above his head. "Ten'en, I'm up here." Gekko Hayate descended from high in the air. Six kunai appeared in his hands, and he shot them directly at Ten'en.
"Useless." Ten'en held a kunai in his right hand, parrying left and right. The kunai were directly knocked away by Ten'en. This caused Gekko Hayate's expression to change slightly. Such a situation still couldn't make Ten'en move.
Gekko Hayate didn't know that the gap between them was already huge. The current Gekko Hayate's strength was, at most, close to that of a Genin, but Ten'en already possessed the strength of an elite Genin. Such an ability could even contend with an ordinary Chunin. This was still Ten'en not using any offensive ninjutsu.
Otherwise, the battle would have ended even more quickly. Of course, if Ten'en really used offensive ninjutsu, Gekko Hayate would probably be even more likely to die. The current Ten'en was only using basic ninjutsu and taijutsu.
"Gekko Hayate, let's end this battle." Ten'en braced his hands on the ground, and his entire body suddenly disappeared from Gekko Hayate's sight as the latter descended. The students nearby were also stunned.
How did Ten'en suddenly disappear? The ninja instructor looked up at the space above Gekko Hayate. Ten'en's speed was so fast that these ninja students couldn't even capture his figure. "This taijutsu ability can even compare with mine," the ninja instructor thought inwardly.
"Where is he, where is he?" Gekko Hayate continuously looked around, but still couldn't find Ten'en's figure. A faint voice reached Gekko Hayate's ears.
"I'm above you." Ten'en's figure appeared in front of Gekko Hayate, and his right leg chopped directly downwards.
"Bang." Ten'en's strength directly impacted Gekko Hayate's body. Gekko Hayate hit the ground heavily like a cannonball. A wisp of dust kicked up.
"Cough, cough." Gekko Hayate coughed, his entire body slumped to the ground, having lost the ability to fight. Ten'en quietly landed beside Anko.
"You're amazing, Ten'en. From now on, I feel like I can just walk around swaggering," Anko said excitedly.
"Alright, this battle is over." The ninja instructor hastily said, "Ten'en pulled his punch at the end. Hayate, you just need to rest for a while."
"Oh, so you're all here," a childish loli's voice drifted over. Gekko Hayate's eyes flashed as he saw this person. He recognized this loli: Uzuki Yugao.
"Big Brother Ten'en, are you alright?" What made Gekko Hayate want to vomit blood was that Uzuki Yugao immediately rushed to Ten'en's side and asked with concern.
"Of course I'm fine, Yugao." Ten'en stroked Uzuki Yugao's small head.
"Pfft." Gekko Hayate was hit.
"Sigh, Hayate, what's wrong? Never mind, I'll take you to the hospital." The ninja instructor shook his head.
Alright, our tragic student, Gekko Hayate, exited the stage.
