Chapter 742: Victory in the Void

Bang!

Chojiro tightly gripped Batu's fist with his right hand, while his left hand swiftly struck out with a punch. Even though Batu's Sharingan captured Chojiro's movement, he was still pushed back by Chojiro's sudden heavy punch.

"His Taijutsu has improved so much!"

Batu was shocked.

If it were under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be a problem, but right now, Chojiro had activated the Flame Style Chakra Mode.

However, Batu maintained his composure. Although his Taijutsu ambush failed, the Divine Aura Throwing Kunai he used earlier had left Chojiro with a significant injury.

Additionally, with the Flying Thunder God Kunai embedded in Chojiro's body, the initiative was now in Batu's hands.

"Ten Thousand World Attraction!"

Chojiro applied the force of gravity to the embedded Kunai, pulling them all out.

Under the influence of a large amount of Yang attribute Chakra, Chojiro's injuries rapidly healed, and even the scars disappeared in an instant.

Batu: ???

Batu's face was filled with question marks. Was he an all-powerful warrior? How could he also possess such strong healing abilities?

Whoosh!

Batu immediately activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and teleported next to Chojiro.

"Divine Heavenly Barrier!"

Chojiro calmly continued to activate the Divine Heavenly Barrier.

The powerful repelling force of the Flying Thunder God Kunai caused them to shoot towards the edge of the battlefield and embed themselves in the wall, while Batu dodged the attack by using Hakushin Shinsei.

He pushed his abilities to the limit and quickly reached out towards Chojiro with a palm carrying scorching flames.

Chojiro was prepared, and his arm, condensed with a large amount of Yang attribute Chakra, swiftly struck out at Batu.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the two palms were about to collide.

The anticipated powerful collision did not occur; Chojiro's palm passed through Batu's body as if it were a non-existent phantom.

At the moment of near contact, Batu activated Hakushin Shinsei once again.

"Fire Style: Flame Fist!"

As their bodies completely separated, Batu materialized and fiercely struck Chojiro with a flame-infused fist.

This fire fist was completely different from the previous one, and even before making contact, Chojiro felt a dangerous wave of heat.

To defeat Chojiro in one go, Batu further depleted his already limited Chakra to enhance the power of his Fire Style.

However, Chojiro, having learned his lesson once, had already anticipated Batu's Divine Power. He swiftly turned around to defend himself.

Whoosh!

Batu's body disappeared.

Batu, who had appeared behind Chojiro, revealed a smile.

During their first Taijutsu clash, he had already marked Chojiro with the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"This time, you won't be able to defend against it!"

Batu laughed as he struck out with a fist imbued with intense flames.

Chojiro's prediction of his Divine Power was accurate, but it was impossible for Chojiro to react to his Flying Thunder God Technique.

'Shadow Ball!'

At that moment, a pitch-black energy ball suddenly shot out from Batu's side.

Bang!

Just as Batu's fire fist was about to touch Chojiro, the black energy ball smashed into Batu's body.

The power of the Shadow Ball instantly erupted, blasting both of them away.

However, Chojiro, still in the Yang Breath Chakra Mode, quickly stood up, and his body's Chakra rapidly transformed into Yang attribute Chakra, healing his injuries.

Batu, on the other hand, due to insufficient Chakra, automatically exited the Flame Style Chakra Mode, and even standing up was a struggle.

The Flame Dragon couldn't hold on any longer, causing the Gengar to emerge.

"Damn it, the Third Mizukage is really useless. How did he allow Chojiro to retain so many abilities?"

Batu's face was filled with frustration, but he didn't blame his Flame Dragon; instead, he blamed the Third Mizukage.

Batu knew that even if his fire fist successfully hit Chojiro, it wouldn't guarantee victory.

He had consumed too much Chakra, and Chojiro possessed impressive healing abilities. Who would give up first was truly uncertain.

"The rules of the ring battle also restrict me. If it were a normal fight, I would have already won."

Recalling the battle, Batu's sense of disappointment lessened.

If it weren't for the fact that this was a ring battle, Batu wouldn't have used Taijutsu against Chojiro after the first wave. Instead, he would have directly sucked Chojiro into the Divine Aura Space.

Then, he wouldn't need to do anything; he could just wait seven days and then enter to collect Chojiro's body.

This was the power of his unbeatable Divine Aura Starvation Technique.

On the surface, he lost, but in reality, he won.

"Chojiro wins!"

Seeing that Batu had lost his ability to fight, the referee quickly announced the result of the battle.

Thus, the quarterfinals came to an end, and the winning and advancing contestants were the Third Raikage, Da Yemu-sama, Enma, and Chojiro.

"The climax is here! In the end, a Kage is still a Kage. Among the four finalists, only Chojiro is not a Kage."

The audience in the stands revealed their eager anticipation.

The upcoming battles were of such a high caliber that even if the tickets were priced at ten thousand taels, they would still be worth buying.

"Dai Tu, don't be discouraged. You were truly amazing just now. I felt like you were so close to winning."

After Dai Tu went to meet up with his teammates, Asama was the first to offer words of comfort.

He didn't know how Dai Tu had managed it, but from the audience's perspective, Dai Tu's final clash with Chojiro was a spectacle.

Dai Tu first used his divine aura to dodge the divine heavenly barrier, then he used it again to evade Chojiro's body transformation, and finally, he predicted Chojiro's prediction and used the flying thunder god technique to teleport behind him.

The entire process took less than five seconds, leaving the audience dazzled and amazed.

"It's not that I almost won. If this wasn't a match, I would have already won."

Dai Tu corrected him.

Asama: ...

He should have known better than to offer comfort; Dai Tu didn't seem like someone who needed consoling.

"You're imagining a victory that didn't happen. Losing is losing."

Kakashi bluntly mocked.

Dai Tu had techniques that were less effective on the stage, but did Chojiro really not have any?

After all, Chojiro's teacher was that mysterious and powerful Sosuke.

"Well, I admit I lost this time."

Hearing Kakashi's rebuke, Dai Tu felt a bit annoyed, but he quickly understood the underlying meaning of Kakashi's words and let go of his imagined victory.

"Just keep trying, and you'll improve. Compared to the last time, you've already made great progress."

Haruno Rin said gently.

Dai Tu nodded subconsciously.

He had lost to Chojiro twice, but there was a significant difference in the process.

During their first battle, even with Flame Dragon's help, Dai Tu was dominated by Chojiro throughout.

This time, he managed to fight Chojiro on his own, giving as good as he got and even injuring Chojiro.

"Next time, I'll definitely redeem myself!"

Dai Tu thought to himself.

He needed to work on his Yang Breath cultivation and increase his chakra reserves.

With these two improvements, his combat power would increase significantly.

"Everyone seems fine, shall we go out and have some fun tonight?"

Haruno Rin scanned the group with a smile and asked.

She was mainly addressing Might Guy, as the others had already gone out twice, while Might Guy had missed out due to his training.

"Sure, having some fun is also part of our youth."

Might Guy gave Haruno Rin a thumbs-up and agreed with a bright smile.

Previously, he had refused because he didn't want to leave any regrets, aiming to face the strong opponents in his best condition.

Now that he had mastered the armored color and the battle was over, there was no need to rush anymore.

Since Might Guy had agreed, the others couldn't possibly refuse, and they all consented.

After agreeing to meet at 7 p.m., the group returned to the hotel and went about their own activities.

The participants, like Kakashi, went back to their rooms and fell asleep immediately.

As for Haruno Rin and Asama, who were not participating in the tournament, their plans varied.

Those who preferred rest stayed in their rooms, while the more active ones went to explore places of interest or train at the training grounds.

At 7 p.m., the group gathered after freshening up and headed to the liveliest night market in Six Paths City.

For an hour and a half, they moved as a group, eating, playing, and enjoying themselves.

Later, to better accommodate individual preferences, they split into smaller teams.

The teams were formed based on the previous division, and since Shizune and Might Guy's team only had two members, Might Guy was assigned to their group.

Dai Tu remained with Kakashi and Haruno Rin.

"What a coincidence, Dai Tu, you're here too."

Yubian saw Dai Tu and approached with a smile.

Dai Tu turned to see Yubian, Konan, Chojiro, and an unfamiliar red-haired boy.

"Yeah, good evening."

Dai Tu responded with a smile.

He wasn't truly upset about losing, and he wouldn't deliberately ignore someone just because he had lost to Chojiro in battle.

After exchanging a few words, they realized they had the same destination and decided to travel together temporarily.

"Dai Tu, how's your preparation for the Fire Shadow election going?"

Yubian asked curiously.

During their first encounter, they had hit it off and made a pact to collaborate once they gained strength and fame, contributing to world peace together.

"I am preparing, but it'll probably take a long time to become the Fire Shadow."

Dai Tu scratched his head and said.

Moonlight had just succeeded a few years ago, and normally, Dai Tu wouldn't have a chance to become the Fire Shadow within the next twenty years.

It wasn't a matter of ability anymore; it was simply a matter of timing. If Moonlight didn't abdicate, Dai Tu wouldn't have a way to become the Fire Shadow.

Dai Tu didn't have much of a reaction to this.

After all, that was the almighty Moon Sage, and it would be a blessing for Konoha if he were to become the Hokage.

Even if he were to step down in old age, it would still be very reasonable.

"Come on, with your current momentum, you still have a good chance."

Yibian encouraged him.

The goal of Shinshu has never been to dominate the world, but to achieve world peace. They would be delighted if the leaders of the Five Great Hidden Villages were all pacifists, as it would make world peace much easier.

"Do I know you from somewhere?"

Kakashi took the initiative to ask Scorpion.

He had a vague sense of familiarity with Scorpion, and he noticed that Scorpion paid more attention to him than to others.

Chojiro, seeing this, quietly shifted his attention to Kakashi and Scorpion, in case the two of them erupted into conflict.

He wasn't quite sure what Scorpion's intentions were towards Kakashi.

Chojiro rarely discussed Kakashi or hatred with Scorpion.

Having personally experienced the hatred of losing his parents, Chojiro understood the pain.

So even if Chojiro wanted Scorpion to let go of his resentment towards Kakashi, he had never tried to persuade him.

Only those who have experienced it can understand that feeling, and he didn't want Scorpion to become more anxious because of his advice.

"Yes, I've seen you in a match."

Scorpion replied in a calm voice.

Seeing that Scorpion was able to communicate calmly with Kakashi, Chojiro breathed a sigh of relief and introduced them:

"Scorpion is the director of our Shinshu Chakra Technology Bureau."

"The researcher who developed the Puppet Prosthesis?"

Kakashi's face showed surprise.

The Puppet Prosthesis was no simple matter; its emergence had driven the innovation of ninja tools in the ninja world and was a hallmark invention of the new era.

In terms of practicality, the Puppet Prosthesis also had the credentials to bear this reputation.

The Puppet Prosthesis not only gave disabled ninjas a new lease on life but also brought good news to ordinary disabled people.

"Do you want to be modified? I think you have a good eye for it, and I can help you with a full-body modification for free."

Scorpion raised his eyebrows.

If Kakashi's reproductive function was altered, it would be equivalent to erasing the grandchildren of the White Fang.

Kakashi felt something was amiss and shook his head in refusal, "Thank you, Director Scorpion, for your kindness. I'm very satisfied with my body and have no intention of being modified."

He had indeed heard of people who, in pursuit of greater strength, replaced their healthy limbs with puppet prostheses.

However, Kakashi's pursuit of strength wasn't as pathological, and the current puppet technology wasn't sufficient to enhance his abilities.

"That's a pity. You can come to me if you want to be modified in the future."

Scorpion expressed some regret.

Then, they ate some food at a famous snack stall before parting ways.

"That Scorpion guy seems pretty nice. I remember the Puppet Prosthesis isn't cheap, but he's willing to give you a full-body modification for free."

Dai Tu watched as Chojiro and the others left.

"Maybe."

Kakashi wasn't sure what Scorpion was up to.

He had just used his Transparent World to take a look at Scorpion and discovered that Scorpion had also undergone modifications, and to a very high degree.

In that case, if Scorpion wanted to help him with the modification, it might not be out of ill intent, especially since Scorpion had modified himself as well.

...

On the other side.

Chojiro asked Scorpion to walk a little faster and maintain some distance from Yibian and the others. Then, with a curious expression, he asked Scorpion:

"Scorpion, why do you want to help Kakashi with a full-body modification?"

"What else could it be? Of course, it's to take the opportunity to kill him and get revenge."

A cold smile flashed across Scorpion's face.

"I don't think so."

Chojiro shook his head.

Given Scorpion's personality, if he really wanted to kill Kakashi, he might have taken the chance to sneak attack him just now.

"Tsk, you're acting like you know me so well."

Scorpion felt a bit annoyed, sensing that Chojiro had seen through him.

"Could it be that Chojiro actually has a younger brother who was abandoned at a young age?"

Yibian watched Chojiro and Scorpion from behind, stroking his chin in thought.

The two of them, one tall and one short, both with red hair, gave off a vibe of a rebellious younger brother and a good-natured older brother.

"Who knows? As long as they're happy, that's what matters."

Konan smiled gently.

It was like her relationship with Chojiro and Yibian; the three of them had no blood ties, but their current bond was stronger than family.

"That's true."

Yibian nodded and quickened his pace to catch up with Chojiro, placing his hand on Chojiro's shoulder.

"Chojiro, what else do you want to eat? Today is to celebrate you; you're the protagonist."

"Sukiyaki pot."

"Then let's go! Konan, hurry up, don't fall behind."
