Naruto: Multiverse Character Templates

After Obito fell unconscious, the medical ninja at the side of the field quickly stepped forward to treat him.

In less than three minutes, he woke up.

When he realized what had happened, his face flushed red. He wished he could faint again so he would not have to face Rin.

Fortunately, no one thought it was his fault for losing to Guy.

After all, the result would have been the same no matter who fought him.

On the contrary, awakening the one-tomoe Sharingan at his age made many people think he was a genius among geniuses.

Especially Fugaku.

He believed that whether in ninjutsu or resources, the Uchiha clan should increase its investment in him.

"Third round, second match. Kakashi versus Shizune!"

After Guy and Obito left the field, Minato announced the next match.

When Shizune heard her name, she could not help shaking her head.

Barring anything unexpected, this was probably as far as she could go.

"You are a medical ninja. It is normal that you cannot beat Kakashi."

Kurenai comforted her and said, "It is enough as long as you can become a chunin."

"Do not betray your youth!"

Guy said, his teeth flashing.

The two of them entered the field.

Kakashi recalled the previous battles.

Aside from medical ninjutsu, what Shizune was best at was taijutsu, or more specifically, the Konoha Six Styles.

But she had only learned three of the Konoha Six Styles.

He had learned six, second only to Guy.

Thinking this, Kakashi stepped forward and closed in.

He did not use the swordsmanship he was best at. He only used taijutsu to fight Shizune.

Although Shizune tried very hard to endure, it did not take long before she was defeated.

"After medical ninja learn the Konoha Six Styles, it can be considered making up for their final weakness."

Hiruzen commented.

Shinku and the others nodded in agreement.

Although medical ninja had a great role, they needed teammates to protect them in battle.

At certain times, they could instead become a burden.

If medical ninja had combat ability of their own, that would be perfect.

Even if they could not compare to combat ninja, as long as they could protect themselves, they could greatly reduce the pressure on their teammates.

"Third round, third match. Asuma versus Rin Nohara!"

Minato quickly announced the next pair of fighters.

This battle was similar to the previous one.

Only Kakashi was replaced by Asuma.

As for Rin and Shizune, their strength was almost the same.

They had the same medical ninjutsu and the same Konoha Six Styles.

In the end, Asuma won.

Rin was very calm about it.

This was the expected result.

And once again, she was a medical ninja, so it was normal for her to lose.

"Third round, fourth match. Kurenai Yuhi versus Anko Mitarashi!"

Minato announced loudly.

"It is finally my turn!"

Anko placed her hands on her hips and said, "I will definitely enter the fourth round!"

Before participating in the Chunin Exam, her goal had been first place.

But after watching Kakashi and Guy fight, she became much more clear-headed, so she changed her goal to entering the fourth round.

"That depends on your ability."

Kurenai smiled and said.

"Although you are older than me, your strength may not be stronger than mine."

Anko snorted softly and said.

The two looked at each other, and both could sense the tension between them.

Very soon, they entered the field and stood facing each other.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Anko formed hand seals with both hands, and chakra surged out, turning into a large fireball.

Like Asuma and Obito, she specialized in Fire Release.

Aside from that, she also specialized in Orochimaru's snake-related ninjutsu.

Although Nawaki did not know snake-related ninjutsu, at Natsuki's suggestion, Orochimaru had taken some time to teach Anko.

Anko also showed considerable talent in snake-related ninjutsu.

After all, in the original timeline, she had learned it quite well.

From this point of view, Orochimaru was still quite pleased.

Because his three students, Natsuki, Nawaki, and Nonō, had not inherited his snake-related ninjutsu.

Rankyaku!

Kurenai kicked out.

As the fireball split in two, she formed hand seals.

Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique!

Invisible mental waves spread outward.

Anko had long been prepared.

She closed her eyes in an instant and dodged to the left.

Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique did not achieve its intended effect.

Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!

Anko raised her right arm.

Her right arm suddenly turned into nine snakes that rushed toward Kurenai.

Kami-e!

Kurenai had only learned four of the Konoha Six Styles.

Only Shigan and Tekkai remained unlearned.

Using the airflow produced by the nine snakes, Kurenai shifted and moved, beginning to evade them.

Seeing this, Anko formed hand seals again.

Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!

She suddenly took a deep breath.

In an instant, a straight line of fire surged out.

Its speed was very fast, like a fire dragon crashing toward Kurenai.

Geppo!

Kurenai's body rose, and she arrived in midair.

Seeing this, Anko instead smiled.

Many Hidden Shadow Snake Hands!

Dense snakes surged out and flew toward Kurenai.

She was now in midair, surrounded by snakes from every direction with nowhere to escape.

Just as Anko thought she was about to win, Kurenai avoided all the snakes along an extremely strange route.

"What is going on?"

Anko could not help freezing.

The corners of Kurenai's mouth lifted slightly.

This was the Observation Haki Natsuki had taught her.

Without another word, she seized the chance and formed hand seals.

Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death!

A tree immediately appeared behind Anko.

Vines stretched out and bound her.

Anko secretly thought things were bad. She returned to herself and quickly tried to release the genjutsu.

But it was already too late.

Kurenai appeared above her and punched down, sending her flying.

Before Anko could get up, a kunai was already pressed against her neck.

"Winner, Kurenai Yuhi!"

Minato announced the result.

Anko opened her mouth, then immediately looked dispirited.

She had been full of confidence, yet she had not even entered the fourth round.

But she had already done her best.

It was not that she was weak. It was that Kurenai and the others were too strong.

Anko then thought of Nawaki's words.

It seemed she really had been a little too full of herself.

"Did Kurenai use some kind of taijutsu just now?"

Rin asked curiously.

"It was not taijutsu. It was a sensing ninjutsu."

Shizune smiled and said, "This is something Natsuki-sensei taught us, but I have not learned it yet. It is called Observation Haki."

"It sounds like it is the same type as Armament Haki."

Asuma said thoughtfully.

"It can be used together with Armament Haki."

Shizune explained, "Its effect is to sense the surroundings and predict the target's movements and attacks."

Obito widened his eyes and asked, "Isn't that the Sharingan?"

"It is indeed somewhat similar."

Shizune froze for a moment and said.

At that moment, Minato's voice rang out, interrupting their conversation.

"The third round has ended. The ninja entering the fourth round are Might Guy, Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai Yuhi."

Minato continued, "There will now be a fifteen-minute break."

"Mikoto."

Natsuki asked, "Who do you think will win?"

Mikoto subconsciously raised her head to look at him.

She had now entered an overheated state. The blush on her face had spread to her ears, and her skin looked rather pink.

"Wh. What?"

Mikoto shook her head and asked.

"I am asking who you think will take first place in the end."

Natsuki leaned closer, smelled her faint fragrance, bit her ear lightly, and said.

Mikoto barely recovered some clarity and spoke.

"Why?"

Natsuki kissed her neck.

"He. He is your student."

Mikoto's voice trembled slightly as she said this.

"Then why did you not say Kurenai?"

Natsuki asked with a smile, "She is also my student."

"I. I feel Guy's strength is greater."

Mikoto's eyes were full of moisture, and her whole body gave off a trace of charm.

But her own aura was very gentle, and mixed together, it created a different kind of feeling.

Natsuki swallowed.

He now hoped the Chunin Exam would end sooner.

In fact, Mikoto was thinking the same thing.

She felt that if this continued, she would definitely catch a fever.

The fifteen-minute break passed while Mikoto suffered through it.

"Fourth round, first match. Kakashi versus Kurenai Yuhi!"

Minato walked onto the field and announced the draw results.

"Your luck is about the same as mine. It is not very good."

When Shizune heard this, she complained.

"After entering the fourth round, there is no opponent who is easy to fight."

Kurenai shook her head and said.

"That is true."

Asuma sighed and said.

Kurenai's opponent was Kakashi.

Naturally, his opponent could only be Guy.

When he thought of Guy's earlier performance, he felt a headache.

"I will just do my best."

Kurenai was very open-minded.

In any case, since she had entered the fourth round, her promotion to chunin was basically guaranteed.

In fact, entering the fourth round had already exceeded her expectations.

Only Kakashi said nothing with a calm expression before entering the field.

Seeing this, Kurenai also walked to face him.

Kakashi took out the Blade of Lightning Fang.

Judging from Kurenai's previous performance, it would be difficult to defeat her with taijutsu alone.

The battle began, and Kakashi suddenly swung his blade. The blade of the Lightning Fang lit up, and a bolt of lightning descended from the sky.

Because Lightning Release chakra crystal had been added to it, and because it was reforged from the Thunderswords, Kiba, it had the effect of calling lightning.

Kurenai's gaze sharpened. She activated Observation Haki and quickly dodged.

But before she landed, Kakashi had already crossed several meters and arrived near her.

The Blade of Lightning Fang brought a flash of white light as it attacked her.

Its speed was almost like lightning.

Fortunately, Kurenai had Observation Haki and barely sensed the path of the Blade of Lightning Fang.

At the critical moment, she retreated and used Geppo.

After reaching midair, she kicked with force.

Rankyaku!

A vacuum slash flew out like a flash of blade light.

Rankyaku!

Kakashi's expression did not change as he also kicked.

As the two slashes collided, he tightened his grip on the Blade of Lightning Fang.

Brilliant lightning surged from the blade, then spread outward and enveloped Kurenai.

Kurenai had no choice but to dodge again.

Kakashi reached her once more.

Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death!

Kurenai looked at him, gritted her teeth, and formed hand seals.

But Kakashi gave her no chance. His wrist flicked, and the Blade of Lightning Fang moved to its limit.

Kurenai only felt her vision blur, filled entirely with flashes of blade light and sword shadows.

In the end, the Blade of Lightning Fang stopped in front of her neck.

Kurenai could not help sighing.

Observation Haki was not omnipotent.

Its effect depended on the user's strength.

Facing Kakashi's Hatake swordsmanship, which was known for speed, Observation Haki was powerless.

Moreover, even if Kurenai could sense the path of the Blade of Lightning Fang, her strength was not enough to block or counterattack.

"Fourth round, second match. Asuma versus Might Guy!"

Minato immediately announced the next match.

When Asuma heard this, he shook his head and walked onto the field.

He was still very aware of himself.

"Being able to reach the fourth round is already quite good."

Hiruzen had the same thoughts as him.

He did not think Asuma would win just because Asuma was his son.

Fugaku, Shinku, and the others could also see Guy's strength.

After hearing Hiruzen's words, none of them answered.

After all, no matter how open-minded Hiruzen was, Asuma was still his son.

Saying too much could easily offend him.

Although Hiruzen had already retired, his influence was still there.

The current Hokage was also his student.

"Konoha Whirlwind!"

Guy opened with a kick.

Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!

Asuma immediately spat out high-temperature ash.

Guy quickly stopped and dodged to the left.

A sound of breaking wind rang out.

Asuma flicked both hands, and four kunai flew out.

"Rankyaku!"

After avoiding the high-temperature ash, Guy directly kicked and cut apart the four kunai. The remaining force continued toward Asuma.

Asuma took out two chakra blades.

Flying Swallow!

The two chakra blades crossed and shattered the vacuum slash produced by Rankyaku.

Rankyaku!

Asuma returned the favor and kicked at Guy.

"Tekkai: Wheel!"

Guy charged straight forward.

With Tekkai, he forcibly endured Rankyaku.

At the same time, his whole body crashed toward Asuma like a mountain.

Flying Swallow!

Asuma subconsciously crossed his two blades.

But the terrifying force still sent him flying backward.

"Konoha Strong Whirlwind!"

Guy pressed the advantage, flashed forward, and delivered a spinning back kick.

Asuma completely fainted.

"Winner, Might Guy!"

Minato announced.

No one was surprised by this result.

Very soon, they revealed looks of expectation.

Because next was the final battle of the Chunin Exam's individual matches, which would also be the strongest battle.

"Fifth round, Might Guy versus Kakashi!"

Minato announced loudly.

Although he was Kakashi's teacher, he did not dare guarantee that Kakashi would definitely win.

"This battle will determine the strongest member of Konoha's new generation."

Hiruzen said with a smile, "I wonder who it will be."

Fugaku and the others were also unsure who would win this battle.

"Kakashi!"

Guy revealed a brilliant smile. "This battle will definitely be filled with youth!"

"Skip the time-wasting probes and use your Eight Gates directly."

Kakashi gripped the Blade of Lightning Fang and said.

"Eight Gates!"

Guy froze for a moment, then shouted.

A large amount of chakra surged out of his body.

"Gate of Opening, open! Gate of Healing, open! Gate of Life, open!"

Guy opened three gates in one breath.

In an instant, green chakra surrounded him, as if draping him in a cloak of chakra.

Kakashi's breathing stopped for a moment, and he felt unprecedented pressure.

"Reverse Lotus!"

Guy's body disappeared from where he stood.

More accurately, because his speed was too fast, it looked as if he had teleported.

Kakashi immediately activated Kami-e.

Through the changes in the airflow, he locked onto Guy's position.

The Blade of Lightning Fang in his hand flew out as if it had disappeared.

"Armament Haki!"

As soon as Guy clashed with him, he felt a sharp sting.

Without hesitation, he added a layer of defense to himself.

The two immediately became locked in close combat.

"Damn it!"

Obito widened his eyes.

He discovered that his Sharingan could not clearly see Guy's movements, and it also could not clearly see Kakashi's movements.

This gave him a strong sense of frustration.

"These two are really too strong!"

Shizune could not help sighing.

"My Observation Haki can no longer capture their movements."

Kurenai said in surprise.

Asuma could not help twitching the corner of his mouth.

He knew there was a gap between himself, Kakashi, and Guy, but he had not expected it to be this large.

"Hahaha!"

Guy laughed loudly and said, "This is the clash of youth!"

Kakashi took a deep breath.

Dealing with Guy, who had opened three gates and also knew the Konoha Six Styles and Armament Haki, was very difficult for him.

Fortunately, his Hatake swordsmanship was equally fast.

Together with the support of the Konoha Six Styles, it allowed him to fight evenly with Guy.

But this was not his full strength.

"It is time to end this, Guy."

Kakashi raised his hand.

In an instant, lightning spread out, and the piercing sound of birds chirping rang out.

The next second, his entire body was covered in lightning, as if he were wearing a suit of armor.

This was a variation of Lightning Release: Chidori, Chidori Current, with both attack and defense.

In the original timeline, Chidori Current was created by Sasuke.

Kakashi was able to learn it because Natsuki had taught him.

And because of the support of the Blade of Lightning Fang, the power of his Chidori Current rose another level.

"As expected of my lifelong rival! My youth must rise to another level!"

Guy shouted, "Gate of Pain, open! Gate of Limit, open!"

After opening five gates, terrifying chakra erupted like the sea.

With him as the center, air waves rolled and dust surged outward.

Kakashi's expression changed drastically when he saw this.

"Rankyaku!"

Guy kicked out.

The vacuum slash that originally looked like blade light now expanded wildly.

All of the chakra detonated at once.

A huge vacuum dragon crashed toward Kakashi.

Kakashi counterattacked in an instant.

Dazzling lightning erupted from his body, and countless arcs of lightning gathered together, blocking in front of him.

At the same time, the Blade of Lightning Fang in his hand also swung out rapidly.

The lightning and the vacuum dragon collided.

Countless waves of air swirled.

"Armament Haki! Tekkai: Wheel!"

Guy roared, and his whole body spun with a stream of chakra.

He arrived in front of Kakashi.

Kakashi subconsciously swung his blade, but it was useless. He could not break through Guy's defense at all.

He was sent flying backward.

The lightning on his body blocked much of the impact, but it was still not very useful.

Kakashi landed on the ground and only felt as if his whole body had fallen apart. He could not move.
