Kakashi representing the Hokage Faction, and Fugaku carrying the hopes of the Uchiha Clan, both sides realize that they carry the hopes and burdens of the people supporting them.

Therefore, neither of the two has the option of losing this fight.

This is why, Kakashi is willing to risk his life in order to defeat Fugaku and stop the Uchiha Clan from ascending to the role of Hokage. Seeing Kakashi’s determination to die just to stop the Uchiha Clan from ascending, rather than being afraid, Fugaku was furious. He felt that Kakashi was treating him as the enemy of Konoha from whom the village must be protected at all costs, even if he has to sacrifice his life!

He has been used to restraining his emotions, however, at this time, Fugaku couldn’t control himself and roared in anger, “Why?!”

To Fugaku, this isn’t fair. The Uchiha Clan is one of the founding Clans and has always worked hard to protect the village, yet they are always treated as if they are the enemy.

Despite being one of the two founding Clans, Uchiha has been restricted in Konoha, and excluded from the village’s political circle.

No matter how many achievements the Uchiha shinobi make, they are never properly rewarded for their work.

Even now, when the Uchiha Clan is so strong, the village still refuses to recognize them for their effort!

Fugaku can’t accept this! Intense killing intent was welling up in his heart, since Kakashi was willing to sacrifice his life, Fugaku decided to completely destroy Kakashi.

Along with Kakashi, he decided to destroy all the restraints and shackles imposed on the Uchiha Clan!

Feeling Fugaku’s killing intent, Kakashi knew that there is no room to back down, and urged all his strength.

Stands

As the atmosphere of the arena became solemn, the cheers died down and the audience held their breath. Everyone could feel that the moment of decision has come, both Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Fugaku have gotten extremely serious.

Just when the crowd was waiting for both candidates to make their move, something unexpected happened.

For some reason that most of the crowd couldn’t understand, Kakashi suddenly closed his only eye.

Naruto asked with a puzzled expression, “Why did Nii-chan close his eyes? At this rate, he won’t be able to see anything!”

Sasuke answered with a proud smile, “It’s because he is afraid of my Chichiue’s Genjutsu!”

Neji nodded, “That does make sense.”

However, Shinichi shook his head. Given how violent the chakra around Kakashi is, he doesn’t need to be afraid of some normal Genjutsu. Unless it’s something as extreme as Itachi’s Tsukuyomi, or Shisui’s Kotoamatsukami, normal Ocular Genjutsu won’t work on Kakashi.

Kakashi had completely different reasons behind closing his only remaining eye.

Shizune asked the same question as Naruto.

Tsunade answered solemnly, “Kakashi’s visual senses cannot keep up with his speed.”

“Doesn’t that make it all the more reason for him not to close his eyes?” asked Shizune, more confused.

Jiraiya shook his head, and explained, “The amount of information a single eye will be able to capture is not enough, and it will create a problem for him, so instead of relying on the half-assed visual sense, it is better to completely discard them and focus all the attention on the perception of chakra and killing intent.”

“Huh? Can he actually do that?” Shizune was taken aback.

“He seems to know what he is doing.” Muttered Tsunade, and added, “He really is Yellow Flash’s disciple and White Fang’s son. If he is given more time to grow, there is no doubt he will surpass both of them together.”

Shizune gulped, ‘Those are some big names.’ And asked, “Tsunade-sama, do you think Kakashi-san can win?”

Tsunade sighed, “If he knew about Fugaku having the Mangekyou Sharingan in advance, he would have definitely prepared a counter strategy… but now… it’s hard to say.”

The reason it’s hard to say is that they don’t know the abilities of Fugaku’s Mangekyou Sharingan.

Back to the Arena

As the momentum of both sides reached their peak, both sides issued their attacks.

Kakashi was faster. As if the God of storms, wrapped in thunder and lightning he dashed towards Fugaku’s Susano’o.

Although Kakashi is extremely fast, Fugaku could capture his figure with his Mangekyou Sharingan and decided to fight speed with speed.

He closed his eye, and as he opened it again a burst of chakra broke out.

‘Amaterasu!’

Instantly, a black flame appeared on Kakashi’s body.

Kakashi’s figure was drowned in the black flames. The lightning and winds surrounding his body couldn’t put up a fight against black flames and were quickly swallowed.

Whoosh!

Feeling the danger, Kakashi did not dare to resist the black flames and immediately used Flying Raijin to avoid them.

As Kakashi disappeared, the flames shot everywhere in the arena, it even reached the Four Violet Flame Formation and started to burn the enchantment, creating holes in it.

While the Enchantment Squad tried to deal with the holes in the Four Violet Flame Formation, the disappeared Kakashi appeared behind Fugaku and rushed toward the man.

Still wrapped in thunder and lightning, as he rushed towards Fugaku, he quickly gained momentum and used that to land a solid blow on the red Susano’o from behind.

Boom!

Crack!

A thundering impact resounded in the arena as cracks appeared on Susano’o, the ground beneath his feet wasn’t any lucky either as it shattered inch by inch.

Fugaku staggered forward and barely stabilized himself to prevent his fall.

Looking at the degree of damage, Fugaku couldn’t help but take a cold breath.

Although he knows that the defense of Susano’o is not unbreakable, he never considered Kakashi to have the ability to break that defense.

Tsunade sighed in disappointment. She was thinking that if she had taught her signature move to Kakashi, perhaps he would have completely destroyed Fugaku’s Susano’o with that single attack.

Alas, there is no helping it now. Still though as long as, Kakashi keeps holding himself, breaking through Fugaku’s Susano’o is not impossible for him, the only problem is, ‘Kakashi’s body won’t be able to hold it for that long.’

But of course, they have a solution.

At this stage in the battle, Tsunade no longer cared about being found out and directly started to transfer the potent Yang chakra to Kakashi through the small slug hidden in his body.

The Chakra transferred by Tsunade reenergized Kakashi to some extent as he tried to make the second attack.

Although the black fire spreading through the arena was making his soul palpate, he gritted his teeth to curb the fear and continued the offensive.
