Chapter 844 Fugaku vs Kakashi
The Hokage campaign is different from the Chunin Exams, here, even if the Hokage Candidates restrain themselves, the environment around them will still be affected, and if the stadium is destroyed because of their carelessness, they will be held responsible and will have to pay for the repairs and maintenance.
So, Having learnt their lesson in the previous match, the sealing class did not dare to be careless this time and activated the Four-Purple Black Formation at the start of the match.
As soon as the Four-Purple Flame Formation was activated, Jiraiya–the referee–explained the rules, and then gave the signal to start the match.
…
In the Arena
As soon as the match started, Kakashi immediately took out dozens of Kunai marked with Flying Raijin and threw them in all directions.
Standing opposite Kakashi, Fugaku did not stop him, and he was not surprised by Kakashi’s move.
Rather, this was within the scope of his predictions and he patiently stood with his Sharingan activated as he memorized the position of all the Flying Raijin Kunai. Even if all the Kunai are not marked with the Flying Raijin, by recording their position, he won’t be taken by surprise that easily.
As candidates who were meant to fight in the First Stage of the Godaime Hokage elections, both sides studied each other before the battle, so they can anticipate the tactics that their opponent might adopt in the battle.
