Chapter – 846 Ready to Die!?

Back to the Arena

Unlike the Uchihas in the stands, Fugaku–standing in the protection of the Rib-cage Susano'o–wasn't happy, rather he appeared to be displeased, extremely displeased.

He had been prepared to reveal the fact that he had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan in the Hokage election, but there is a certain order of things, and he did not want to reveal it in such a situation where he is pushed to the corner and left with no choice but to use the power of Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Damn it!" Fugaku gnashed his teeth in anger.

In his vision, the fight against Kakashi was supposed to be the stage he would use to showcase the strength and majesty of the Uchiha Clan, and he planned to defeat Kakashi without having to resort to Mangekyou Sharingan, then as the winner, he would reveal the existence of his Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, his plans were thwarted by Kakashi. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he felt. He even cursed himself for getting caught by Kakashi's rhythm in the battle.

'The Flying Raijin Kunai spread through the arena were a trap from the start, he wanted me to think that he would use only that Jutsu, and I was fooled! Damn, it!'

Kakashi's plan was quite similar to Kuroto's. Kuroto used himself as the bait to attract Shisui's attention, and the poison he slowly dispersed in the arena was the real weapon, similarly, Kakashi used the advantage brought by the 'Flying Raijin' to attract Fugaku's attention and he hid underground using Earth Style Jutsu biding his time for the perfect opportunity to make an attack.

'He knew that because of the reputation of Flying Riajin, I would pay special attention to it, so he planned to use a less dangerous and less versatile Jutsu to make the real attack while using the more dangerous and more versatile Jutsu to distract me.'

But it's a pity. Unlike Kuroto, Kakashi did not have complete knowledge of his opponent's abilities. Otherwise, he might have succeeded.

By the time, Fugaku finished analyzing Kakashi's tactic, Kakashi also got up from the ground and looked at his opponent solemnly.

After the initial shock, Kakashi regained his composure.

'So, it seems the Uchiha Clan has three Mangekyou Sharingan awakeners' he thought, and muttered, "All the more reason I can not lose this match!"

Kakashi shoulders the trust and responsibility of continuing the will of fire and carrying forward the legacy of former Hokage, if he were to lose here, not only him but even the people–Sandaime Hokage, Sannin Jiraiya and Tsunade, as well as his friends and companions–who support him, will lose.

Given the current precarious situation of the Shinobi World, a good Hokage is needed to unite and protect the village. Kakashi isn't sure whether the Uchiha Patriarch is up to the mark. The arrogance and lonely nature of Uchiha will definitely create a distance between them and the rest of the village.

If Uchiha Fugaku were to become the Godaime Hokage, there is a strong possibility that another catastrophe will break out in Konoha, and there is no guarantee that the village will be able to recover this time.

'Konoha can not be handed over to Uchiha Fugaku!' such a thought appeared in his mind, as Kakashi's expression became resolute. 

By now, the paralysis effect on Fugaku's body has disappeared, and he could move normally. He looked at Kakashi standing opposite to him, and spoke in a cold tone, "Kakashi… it seems I underestimated you. But not anymore…"

After speaking these words, Fugaku took a step forward and slowly approached Kakashi step by step.

With each step, the form of Fugaku's Susano'o evolved and the pressure it exerted on Kakashi increased. Within a few seconds, it transformed from the initial rib-cage stage to the half-body stage with bones, muscle and armour.

Facing the pressure exerted by the Half-Body Susano'o as Fugaku approached him, Kakashi breathed heavily.

It wasn't just Kakashi, but almost all the people in the stands were breathing heavily, their hearts were beating rapidly and they were looking at the red phantom of chakra as if facing death.

Many were also reminded of Homusubi's Susano'o since the color and appearance of Fugaku's Susano'o matched with Homusubi's. Kakashi thought the same for a moment.

However, there were a few differences. The most important detail that differentiated the two was the absence of Kusanagi no Tsurugi and Yata no Kagami in Fugaku's Susano'o.

As if seeing through Kakashi's fear and nervousness, Fugaku grinned, "In front of these eyes, anything you do is meaningless!"

Feeling the pressure radiating from Fugaku's Susano'o, Kakashi took a deep breath as his eyes regained focus.

ZiZizizizizzizi

Suddenly, lightning flashed on his right arm, and it soon spread through his body. Under the stimulation of lightning chakra, the cell activity in Kakashi's body increased. Although the effect wasn't as good as the 'Lightning Chakra Armor' used by Yondaime Raikage, it wasn't far off.

…

On Kuroto's side

Looking at lightning crackling all around Kakashi's body, Kuroto narrowed his eyes with a thoughtful look, 'Kakashi's affinity with the Lightning Chakra Nature is really exaggerated. Perhaps I can use his cells to create the Lightning Chakra Clone.'

The development and cultivation of Earth Chakra Nature are almost complete, so Kuroto has to focus on the next clone. Lightning Clone is the next, and he has to work on it as soon as possible.

Over the years, Kakashi has shown an extremely high affinity for the Lightning Chakra, not to mention the purple lightning–a Single Chakra Nature Transformation–he creates after the fourth great shinobi war. If Kuroto didn't guess incorrectly, then the strength of Kakashi's purple lightning should be as good as Darui's Black Lightning.

Taking everything into account, Kakashi's cells are a very good option for the Lightning Chakra Clone,

As Kuroto was thinking about future prospects, the situation on the battlefield changed.

…

After pushing the Lightning Chakra to the limit, Kakashi did not hold back and used another outrageous Jutsu.

'Eight Inner Gates Formation!'

'The Gate of Opening: Open!'

'The Gate of Healing: Open!'

'The Gate of Life: Open!'

'The Gate of Pain: Open!'

One after another, Kakashi opened four gates as a terrifying chakra burst out of his body.

…

As everything unfolded before his eyes, Jiraiya clenched his fist tightly.

He could see Kakashi's resolve, at this time, Kakashi is prepared to die.

Having lost his Sharingan, Kakashi's vision is unable to keep up with speed when he uses LIghtining to coat his body. There is a strong possibility that he might die because of using that Jutsu.

What's more, on top of coating his body with lightning, Kakashi also used the Eight Inner Gates Formation and opened four gates!

If his vision could barely keep up with his speed with lightning coat, now, with the speed boost provided by the Eight Inner Gates, there is no way he would be able to see! What's more troublesome is that he lacks an eye!

And even if he can get past these problems, there is another issue.

"Will his body be able to handle such pressure?" muttered Tsunade with a worried expression.

Using Lightning stimulation places a huge toll on the body, and using Eight Inner Gates on top of that is definitely not something a normal person can bear. It wouldn't be surprising if Kakashi's body starts to destroy from within!

…

Terrifying lightning zapped around Kakashi, cutting winds swirled around him and a huge burst of chakra was wrapped around him, giving him the look of the god of lightning.

Facing such a Kakashi, even Fugaku felt a little dread in his heart.

Just when Fugaku thought that this would be the end.

Kakashi grinned at him as he spoke, "Since I am already here, then I might as well use every last ounce of my strength before I die!"

'The Gate of Limit: Open!'

Suddenly, the pressure exerted by Kakashi increased. At the same time, blood leaked from his nostrils.

"He is willing to die just to stop me!?"

If Fugaku felt a little dread earlier, then now he was filled with anger, "You bastard! Are you even willing to sacrifice your life just to stop the Uchiha Clan from becoming the Hokage? Why?! Why can't Uchiha become Hokage?! Why?!?!!!!!!!"
