Chapter 115 Semifinals
The morning duel ended and Haneda had qualified as a Chunin.
And so are Kakashi and Rin from Team 7.
Sakumo and Minato both chose to have a lunch together to celebrate at noon, and Team 9 and Team 7 separated.
The gathering place for Class 9 was at BBQ Q. There were a lot of people eating at noon, but Shuo Mao had booked a private room in advance so he didn't have to wait for a seat.
Inside the box, Haneda and his friends found a seat and sat down at random.
At this time, the waiter also came over.
"Welcome, what would you like to order?"
"Same old, two roast pork belly combos, plus one B and one C, and iced orange juice for drinks, thank you."
Shuo Mao came and told them what they had discussed before.
After the waiter left, Sakumo smiled and said, "Congratulations on becoming a chunin, Haneda."
Asuma immediately followed up with his congratulations after Sakumo finished speaking:
"Yes, Brother Haneda! Our team nine will rely on Brother Haneda to support us in this Chunin Exam! Just like Team seven also has Kakashi and Rin."
Kurenai congratulated him, "Congratulations. Once the tournament is over, Hokage-sama will give out Chunin vests."
Haneda didn't think there was anything special about being a Chunin.
But when he heard Uncle Sakumo and the others were happy for him, a smile appeared on his face as well.
"Nothing. I have to play against Lin and Kakashi this afternoon. If I lose to Kakashi, I will be breaking my promise. Although that's not a big deal."
Sakumo remembered a ninjutsu that Kakashi had recently developed, which was very powerful, and couldn't help but remind him:
"Kakashi has improved his swordsmanship a lot in the month that he has been training with me alone. He has also recently developed a new technique just like you. Be careful, Haneda, and don't underestimate your enemy."
"New technique? As expected of Kakashi, he is truly gifted." Haneda said with a smile.
He remembered that Kakashi had already developed Raikiri, what would it be this time?
Haneda became curious and looked forward to the afternoon match even more.
"Aren't you afraid of losing?" Shuomao asked with a smile.
"Didn't Uncle Sakumo say that the odds between him and me are 70:30? Besides, I won't lose as I carry the Uchiha name."
Hearing what Haneda said when he defeated Kakashi five years ago, Asuma suddenly became excited and said loudly:
"I also believe that Brother Haneda will never lose!"
"Brother Haneda's unstoppable illusions, powerful lightning techniques, and sharp swordsmanship and physical techniques!"
"No one knows Brother Haneda's strength better than me!!"
Listening to the series of compliments, Haneda felt a little embarrassed.
But luckily, the box was closed except for the door, so no one could see it...
…………
After the dinner, the semi-finals and finals of the individual competition will be held at 2 pm.
There are more big shots coming this time.
Uchiha clan leader Kenji, junior clan leader Fugaku, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kushina, and the representative of the Land of Water, Mei Terumi...
Even the leader of the Root, the famous Anshi Village Danzo of the Ninja World, was sitting quietly in a corner.
That’s right, Danzo is here to observe the naturally evil Uchiha Haneda!
He was growing too fast, which forced Danzo, who inherited the second generation's will, to remain highly cautious!
"The first match will be between Orochimaru's student, Gai, and Sakumo's son, right?"
Danzo closed his left eye slightly and asked in a deep voice.
"It's Might Guy, Hatake Kakashi, and Lord Danzo." said a Root member beside him.
Danzo narrowed his eyes, thinking of Orochimaru's mention of Gai during his research on the Eight Gates.
At that time, Orochimaru said that Gai was already able to open the Injury Gate, the fourth gate of the Eight Gates!
The fourth gate is to enter the Eight Gates Ninjutsu state in the true sense.
Even a genius like Kakashi has to give it his all, right?
Danzo couldn't help but take it seriously.
Under the attention of thousands of people, Haneda, Kakashi, Kai, and Lin walked into the battlefield.
Mei Terumi looked at the two handsome guys, one with black hair and one with white hair, and couldn't help but stare at them:
"Is this Uchiha Haneda? So handsome! Speaking of which, the Uchiha clan is full of handsome guys..."
"Hey~ That Hatake Kakashi is pretty handsome too, wearing a black mask, so cool..."
White Zetsu, who was disguised as a ninja from the Land of Water, looked at Haneda, the chess piece chosen by Madara, and murmured in a low voice:
"Ah, I wonder what it feels like for a handsome Uchiha to poop?"
Bai Zetsu next to him thought: "Hey, it should be the same as that adult, right?"
"That adult? He's been sitting all the time. Will he poop too?"
"Humans all poop... so I guess we can do that too, right?"
…………
Kai looked at the packed spectator seats and couldn't help but look at Haneda and Kakashi, and said excitedly:
"Yoshi! Defeat Kakashi under the watchful eyes of everyone, and then challenge Haneda with a youthful passion!"
"How's it going, Kakashi?"
"Although I can't leave the first use of that move to Haneda, I will definitely defeat you!"
Kakashi glanced at Haneda, who looked away and pretended to be indifferent, and shook his head silently:
"Are you referring to the Eight Gates? Haneda also knows this move. You may not be able to defeat him with just physical skills."
"Let me defeat you first. Youth is about moving forward step by step, right? Haneda!" Kai looked at Haneda with a burning gaze.
Haneda glanced at Kakashi, who had a dark face, and coughed awkwardly a few times and said:
"In fact, it's not impossible to do it in one step..."
Kakashi nodded in agreement: "Haneda is right, Kai, I suggest you challenge him directly!"
Kakashi imitated Kai, gave him a thumbs up and said, "Yoshi! Youth should be achieved in one step!"
The reason he did this was that he found out from Kai what Haneda did back then.
So, Kakashi decided to learn a trick from Haneda.
But Kai is no longer the boy he was five years ago. He said to Kakashi firmly:
"No! Youth is about moving forward step by step! Kakashi!"
"I will only challenge Haneda if I defeat you fairly!"
"This is the promise between Haneda and I, and it is also our youth!!"
Looking at the passionate Akagi, Kakashi turned his gaze to Haneda, the "culprit".
At this time, the jonin who served as the referee had already jumped down from the spectator seats.
He said to Haneda and others:
"The semi-finals are about to begin, with Kakashi Hatake versus Might Guy."
"Uchiha Haneda, Nohara Lin, please leave on your own first."
Before leaving, Haneda glanced at Kakashi and encouraged him:
"Come on, I'll wait for you in the next game."
Lin also said: "Kakashi, you must do your best, Obito is watching you up there too!"
"Huh? What about me? Why is no one encouraging me?" Kai couldn't help but ask.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the field. It was Obito's voice.
"Come on, Watermelon Head! You must beat up that idiot Kakashi!"
Kai heard a familiar voice, showed two rows of bright teeth to Obito, and gave a thumbs up:
"Yoshi, thank you Runtu for your encouragement!"
"Baga! My name is Uchiha Obito! Uchiha Obito!!"
At this time, Haneda reminded: "Kai, be careful, Kakashi has also become much stronger."
"OK!" Kai smiled confidently. Under the guidance of teacher Orochimaru, he also learned some strange ninjutsu.
Although he doesn't know the principle, it works and is easy to use.
After Haneda and Lin left, the referee raised a small red flag and announced the start of the match:
"Hatake Kakashi vs. Might Guy, the ninja battle begins!"
