Chapter 146: An Eye for an Eye!
The moment Kakashi Hatake engaged with Naraku Uehara, he immediately found Uehara's weakness: "This guy's swordsmanship is terrible… this is an opportunity!"
Kakashi Hatake brandished his kunai, intending to take advantage of the opening Uehara exposed while swinging his sword, and move in to subdue Naraku Uehara with a single move.
However, Naraku Uehara abruptly stabbed the purple broadsword into the ground, and his hands began to fly through seals, releasing a defensive barrier, "Secret Technique! Spirit's Refuge!"
This barrier directly protected Naraku Uehara.
Even though Kakashi and Might Guy tried their best to attack, they were blocked outside the barrier,只能helplessly watching Uehara continue to form hand seals within it.
Two seconds later, the barrier collapsed.
Two seconds later, Naraku Uehara's hand seals were complete.
"Lightning Release: Maelstrom of Heavenly Thunder Prison!"
Following a chillingly cold shout, a thundercloud storm formed above Naraku Uehara's head. Bolts of lightning snaked within it, striking towards Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy!
Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy's speed was even faster!
Compared to the other ninjas Uehara had encountered, their combat instincts drove them to easily evade the first lightning strike.
However, Kakashi Hatake was even a bit bewildered.
What was with this Naraku Uehara fellow's Lightning Release ninjutsu? He remembered that this Lightning Release ninjutsu didn't use these hand seals, did it?
As a ninja who had personally witnessed Naraku Uehara's Lightning Release ninjutsu, Kakashi clearly remembered those messy hand gestures.
Unfortunately, there was no time to think about this now. Kakashi Hatake hurriedly taught Might Guy how to defend against such a rapid-fire Lightning Release: "Guy, don't stay in one position for more than 0.5 seconds!"
"Understood!"
Might Guy nodded quickly.
Many ninjas, caught off guard, would be hit by the second lightning bolt after dodging the first. Once hit by one bolt, there was no escaping the countless remaining ones.
Therefore, every single lightning strike had to be dodged!
Soon, the Lightning Prison Maelstrom that Naraku Uehara had released with only a few hundred chakra points ended. He had only intended to use it to probe Kakashi and Might Guy.
"Dynamic Entry!"
Might Guy, taking advantage of his high speed, stomped and shattered a section of the concrete ground, launching a flying kick towards Naraku Uehara!
Naraku Uehara raised his arms in front of him, activating his Spiked Defense. An orange, grid-like defensive shield appeared around him.
Clearly, against a taijutsu ninja, this was the most suitable move.
However, the next moment, Might Guy abruptly twisted his body, brushing past Naraku Uehara, having forcibly interrupted his own attack.
Might Guy landed on the ground and said in a deep voice, "I was watching your battle with Lee just now. This move reflects our taijutsu attacks, right?"
"Hmm?"
Naraku Uehara's expression changed. He abruptly turned to look at Kakashi Hatake on the other side. Under the cover of Might Guy's feint, Kakashi had already completed his hand seals!
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A blazing fireball rushed towards Uehara. Especially since Kakashi was very close to Naraku Uehara, this fireball was almost impossible to dodge, and there wasn't even enough time to form seals to block it.
Naraku Uehara gritted his teeth, abruptly brought his palms together, and shouted in a low voice, "Water Release: Raging Wave's Howl!"
A huge wave shot up into the sky!
In an instant, the Great Fireball Technique was submerged by the wave!
"Earth Release: Mud Wall!"
The wave, with considerable force left, crushed towards Kakashi Hatake, but was blocked by the Mud Wall technique he had prepared in advance.
A layer of sweat slowly seeped out on Kakashi Hatake's nose. He couldn't help but feel shocked, "The last time I encountered this Uehara fellow, he could use a powerful Water Release ninjutsu just by forming a seal with his eyes… Now he only needs one hand seal to complete it?"
Fortunately, he still had a teammate.
After the exchange of ninjutsu between Naraku Uehara and Kakashi Hatake ended, Might Guy's taijutsu attack arrived again!
And when Might Guy's taijutsu couldn't succeed, Kakashi Hatake would use Guy's cover to release ninjutsu.
The coordination between the two was simply seamless.
"Then there's no other way."
Naraku Uehara abruptly raised his hand, quickly formed seals, looked towards Might Guy, and shouted in a low voice, "Event Horizon!"
Five bizarrely shaped pillars shot up from the ground!
A spatial cage quickly formed around Might Guy, relying on the five pillars, trapping him inside and rendering him immobile!
The duration of this cage was set by Naraku Uehara to 20 seconds.
This amount of time was enough for him to defeat Kakashi first!
Naraku Uehara himself then flash-stepped behind Kakashi, about to slam a fist into his body!
Crack…
A piece of rock shattered into pieces.
This Kakashi Hatake fellow was actually always prepared with a Substitution Jutsu.
Naraku Uehara's figure flickered and reappeared behind Kakashi. Just as he was about to continue his attack, Kakashi Hatake turned around and stabbed at him with a kunai!
Naraku Uehara didn't want to activate the invincibility of Divine Judgment's Moment to defend against this kunai, because he still had to save his invincibility skill for Might Guy in the Sixth, Seventh, or even Eighth Gate state.
Blood splattered from Uehara's body!
However, his recovery ability was very strong, so this bit of injury was nothing.
Just as Kakashi Hatake thought he had succeeded, Naraku Uehara grabbed his hair and delivered a knee strike to his face!
Crackle!
A jolt of lightning entered Naraku Uehara's body.
At some unknown point, Kakashi Hatake had actually condensed a lightning clone. These genius ninjas were always so insidious when using various clones. This time, even Naraku Uehara was caught off guard and suffered a small loss.
"You genius ninjas always have some strange tactics."
Naraku Uehara frowned, inexplicably thinking of how Itachi Uchiha had tricked Obito Uchiha, and now it was his turn to be tricked by Kakashi.
How could he tolerate this?
Naraku Uehara quickly formed hand seals. A small hurricane appeared beside him. This hurricane instantly began to expand, and in a flash, it covered the entire high platform!
"Wind Release: Hurricane's Howl!"
This was still not enough!
Naraku Uehara abruptly spread his hands, and a wave rolled out from under his feet. The surging wave flowed into the hurricane.
The hurricane, carrying the wave, instantly sucked Kakashi Hatake in!
This hurricane-wave moved in a straight line across the competition field, instantly destroying a large number of buildings below. Everything in its path was completely obliterated!
Naraku Uehara watched as Kakashi Hatake's figure drifted back and forth in the hurricane-wave, seemingly having lost all ability to resist. He felt a sense of relief.
However, the next moment, Kakashi Hatake uncovered the Sharingan under his mask. The three tomoe on it spun wildly and transformed into a Mangekyo. He actually began to slowly suck the hurricane-wave into some mysterious, unknown space!

"You're really persistent, Kakashi…"
Naraku Uehara sighed. This Kakashi Hatake fellow always gave his enemies a little surprise when he was on the verge of his limit.
"Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah…"
Kakashi Hatake landed on the ground, panting heavily. To prevent the hurricane-wave from destroying the arena, he had almost exhausted all the chakra in his body.
He had even rarely used the ability of this Sharingan.
This was worth mentioning. Back when Kakashi Hatake met Uehara's version of Obito Uchiha, he had received a hint about the Sharingan's problems. Kakashi Hatake had obediently researched it and finally unlocked this absorption ability.
"There's almost no chakra left in my body…"
Kakashi Hatake knelt on one knee, supporting himself on the ground as he looked at Naraku Uehara, who still looked full of energy.
At times like this, Kakashi would envy his enemy's chakra reserves.
Cards shot rapidly towards Kakashi!
"Kamui!"
Kakashi Hatake, pushed to his limit, overdrafted the chakra in his body, trying to absorb the cards shooting towards him.
"Kakashi, are you ever going to stop?"
However, at this moment, Naraku Uehara appeared in a flash step and punched Kakashi on the head, knocking him unconscious on the ground.
Side Mission: Defeat Kakashi Hatake (1/1). Mission completed. Reward: One Hidden Legacy Quest.
Hidden Legacy Quest: An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. To seize power is just that. Say a correct name.
Kakashi Hatake was indeed worthy of being Team Seven's teacher; his reward was truly generous.
But this terrible catchphrase…
Naraku Uehara frowned and said coldly, "Murong Fu of Gusu… forget it, Sylas the Unshackled."
Mission complete.
Hero Legacy unlocked.
Petricite Burst: A new type of chakra weapon. Its existence consumes 3 chakra points per second. Whenever Petricite Burst touches or binds an enemy, it can absorb the enemy's chakra for one's own use.
Hijack: Extends a Petricite Chain towards an enemy, stealing the enemy's ultimate ninjutsu for one's own use. Use this ultimate ninjutsu once without cost. Skill cooldown: 40 seconds.
This was a huge gain!
Although the number of skills was reduced to two due to the Hero Legacy's attack method, these two skills were undoubtedly very powerful.
Petricite Burst could steal an enemy's chakra, and Hijack could steal an enemy's ultimate ninjutsu, and even use it once for free.
Naraku Uehara's gaze slowly turned towards Might Guy. He waved his hand to dismiss the Event Horizon cage and said with some excitement, "Next up is Might Guy!"
"Lord Naraku Uehara (Beiyuan Nailuo), could you release Kakashi first?"
Might Guy pointed at the unconscious Kakashi Hatake beside Naraku Uehara and said in a deep voice, "If not, our battle might very well endanger him…"
Naraku Uehara: "..."
Was his good-person image too deeply ingrained?
Why did even Might Guy think he was easy to talk to?
Naraku Uehara sighed and kicked Kakashi Hatake towards Might Guy, "Sorry, Guy, I was forced into this…"
"Yes, I understand."
Might Guy handed Kakashi Hatake to an Anbu, then turned to look at Naraku Uehara, "Ever since I heard Lee, Tenten, and Neji's evaluation of you, I've actually wanted to have a battle with you. But I never thought it would be under these circumstances…"
"I didn't think so either."
Naraku Uehara's face showed a hint of sorrow.
Might Guy fiercely clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, "We must always know why we fight. At least, I want to know your intentions…"
"I only want Konoha to agree to all the protocols in that treaty of alliance!"
Naraku Uehara's expression was exceptionally firm, as if he would do anything for the interests of Amegakure.
"Then there's no other way…"
Might Guy shook his head. He abruptly stomped his foot, shattering the stone slab beneath him, his voice serious, "Then please give me your guidance. This is the secret move I was saving to defeat Kakashi… Eight Gates Released Formation, Seventh Gate, Gate of Shock, Open!"
Might Guy directly opened the Seventh Gate!
The surging blue chakra instantly created a wave of air!
How strong was Might Guy in the Seventh Gate state? At the very least, fighting Kisame Hoshigaki would be no problem for him!
The corner of Naraku Uehara's mouth couldn't help but twitch, "This is your secret move to defeat Kakashi… You were trying to kill him!"
