Chapter 24: 24 End Of Second Exam
As soon as Kozuki left the stage, medical ninja arrived as he carried the fainted Asuma out for treatment.
"Amazing he defeated him with just one move" Obito was surprised looking at Asuma who was being carried out.
"Kakashi, your friend is really interesting" said White Fang as could see that Kozuki was a bit unusual.
"That speed, that strength" the more White Fang thought about it the more he couldn't believe that a child of such young age could have such strength.
Kakashi didn't say anything but his heart was shaken and he asked himself if it was him could he respond to that speed.
Suddenly, Kakashi didn't have much confidence for his fight with Kozuki.
"I'm more and more curious about you" thought Orochimaru looking at Kozuki with greed as he with his fighting experience could easily see that Kozuki didn't use Chakra.
Whether it was his super speed or strength both were due to his strong body.
Gulp...
"If I can get his body..."Orochimaru swallowed his saliva at the thought of Obtaining such a strong body.
"How can a child have such a strong body" Tsunade felt that the medical Jutsu she had learned was wrong for the first time.
A child no matter hard he trains he couldn't make his body so strong, Tsunade couldn't bring herself to believe what she saw but that was a fact.
While Tsunade or other famous Jonin were surprised by his strength, Sarutobi felt like he was the one who got beaten rather then his son.
Hokage Son getting defeated in one move, it was the biggest Joke ever.
Sarutobi already had a headache thinking of that mysterious person who caused that devastation in the forest earlier.
"Looks like I need to reassess Kozuki" Sarutobi was a bit angry as he thought even if Kozuki was strong, for his sake he should have made the fight look a bit difficult.
After the first month of monitoring Kozuki and finding nothing suspicious, Sarutobi removed the surveillance over Kozuki but now he had a thought of it once again.
________________
"It seems I have caused trouble for myself" thought Kozuki moving towards the watching stand as he could sense those curious gazes towards him.
During his fight when the explosion enveloped him completely, if he hadn't used his Haoshoku Haki to create a pressure around him offsetting the explosion, he would have been seriously injured at least.
This was a reminder for Kozuki to not to underestimate the enemy so after the explosion, he got a bit serious taking Asuma down easily which revealed a part of his strength.
While thinking of this Kozuki arrived beside Kurenai and Shizune who greeted him happily congratulating him for his win.
Soon, an earth style ninja remade the damaged stage as rest of fights began.
Both Kurenai and Shizune were unlucky as their opponent's were Kakashi and Guy.
They did try there best but in the end they still couldn't beat the 50-50 Kakashi and Konoha Blue Beast Guy.
"Don't be sad you did your best" Kozuki couldn't look at there depressed faces and cheered them up.
"But we wanted to get promoted together" said Kurenai a bit sad at her lost her hands clenched into a fist.
"Don't worry you can try next year" encouraged Kozuki as he rubbed both of little girl's heads as he could only blame their luck for meeting those abnormal guys.
Who were Kakashi and Guy, no one knew them better then Kozuki.
Kakashi except for his clean defeat in the hands of Itachi always made problems for his opponents.
Whether it was Zabuza, Kakuzu or Obito later in the war and even with Kaguya he could put a Fight using a full body Susano.
That's why Kozuki called him 50-50 for being able to fight any opponent.
There's nothing to say much about Guy who almost Kicked Six Paths Madara the Dancing King to death nearly saving the Ninja World.
So, Kozuki could only mourn for there luck and encourage them for the next year.
Soon all the fights came to an end as Sarutobi came on the stage once again as he congratulated the passing candidates and the opponents that will face each other a month letter were decided.
"Kozuki Vs Kakashi"
Seeing the name on the screen every one had anticipation in their heart.
One is the greatest Genius and other is a dark horse who defeated the Hokage son with a single move.
"Wow' Kozuki you'll fight Kakashi" said Kurenai as she was looking forward to there fight.
She had always believed that Kozuki was better then Kakashi but could never prove it, but now she believes a month later everything will be revealed.
"This is a fight worth looking forward to" said Jiraya as he couldn't wait to know who was better between Kakashi and Kozuki.
"He-He there's no need to guess the result is obvious" laughed Orochimaru as he knew the strongest genius might fall a month later.
"Kakashi" both White Fang and Minato looked at Kakashi a bit worried as they could see Kozuki wasn't simple.
Kakashi didn't care for there concerned faces as he himself didn't knew how to describe his mood himself.
His heart was beating hard, he didn't know whether it was from fear or excitement but he knew that he had to fight him and win to prove himself the best.
"Father I want you to train me" said Kakashi looking at his father with determination as he had a Jutsu in his mind and his father could help him with it.
Kozuki on the other hand didn't care much as he knew the result of the fight was already decided so he quickly left the forest and went back home and immediately slept on the warm bed after taking a shower.
