Chapter 69 : Combo

After the night passes, the same also happens with the time who flies by where he does all of his writing exam with a breeze like he usually does.

Continued with the practical exam who he was really excellent at with his physical powers either speed, strength or resilience.

Kai also surprised his teacher with his chakra practices exam where he was able to do just fine even though he only recently activated his chakra a few months ago.

All of that greatness comes not without a cost, because the amount of things that he did in the past a few months makes him having not much time to sleep.

Because of how hard new jutsu he needs to learn and the fact that he also needs to learn a few years worth of chakra practice so he can catch up with the rest of his classmates.

Even though he had some skill to help him greatly in his recovery it still made him feels overwhelmed.

He was currently sitting on the bench after finishing his semi finals match, trying to rest his brain that feels really hot so he can be more prepared for his final match that he is going to face.

"Here Kai."

"Thank Kanna."

Drinking the drink that was given to him from Kanna, Kai feels the freshness it brought to his mind and body the moment it was entering his body.

"Do you like it?"

"It was your favorite lime tea, I personally make it myself"

"Yes, I feel like all my tension has disappeared."

While enjoying the tea Kai leans on his back while thinking about something that he realizes is probably going to help him in his training in the future if he learns it sooner.

What he realizes when he was training in the past few months is his physical power was not being balanced by his mental resilience.

Even though from the outside he looks fine but actually his mind is really exhausted from the strain that he suffered in the past a few months from all the things that he needs to do and it is getting heavier in his brain.

He was thinking when this exam was over he was going to decrease his training momentarily and try to learn how to meditate so he can ease his mental strain and reinforce his mental resilience.

Looking to his left Kai sees his friends who seem not in the good mood because facing Neji too early in the competition made him unable to enter the semi finals like usual but only able to enter the quarter finals because of the randomness.

But even though he knew the match was random, Kai feels like he and Neji were exceptional because he realizes he and Neji were never meant to meet until the final by someone who controls the 'randomness'.

*Tik Tik

After getting Toka's attention, Kai sends hidden messages to ask the news about something that he previously asked that needs Toka help.

'Toka, have you already started the research?'

'I've already started searching in my family library, it's quite hard to find the specific toxic that you need.'

'You can take your time, I'm only going to need it in a few months. As long as it is close enough to desire effect and it does not work instantly it's okay.'

'Thanks for wanting to help me, Toka.'

Feeling Kanna might start noticing Kai ends his conversation where he continues enjoying his lime tea and talks to his friend to ease the tension in his mind while waiting for the final match to come.

Sure enough without waiting for too long the final match finally arrived, rising from his seat Kai walked to the field with strong resolve in his heart to win this year's competition.

After arriving in the center of the field Kai looked to Neji who was standing opposite him, the one who already become his opponent in finals for the past few years.

Someone that he needs to overcome to make him able to continue flying higher and be a lot stronger.

"Might Kai…"

"Hyuga Neji…"

"Give your opponent a sign of confrontation."

Putting his hand in the position Kai increases the adrenaline in his body to the maximum and steals his resolve.

He needs to make sure he utilizes his advantage and not falling to his opponent's tempo anymore.

The moment the match started Kai threw all the kunai in his arsenal and instantly dash to Neji at his fastest speed.

He sees Neji who seems not expecting all-in combat from the start already forming the hand seal, Kai with his eagle eyes already knows what jutsu Neji is going to perform recalling from his memory.

Kai channeled his chakra to his feet to make his right foot stick to the ground, with the momentum he had his right foot become anchor which made his entire body propelled to the right where he instantly released his chakra from keep channeling to his feet.

It makes him change the direction to where he was running without sacrificing too much speed from a sudden turn.

He heard many sounds of his kunai hitting wood from the direction where Neji was before standing and in front of him actual Neji was standing after using substitute jutsu.

'Leaf rising wind'

Right in front of him Neji who had a shocked expression on his face because of the kick that already waiting for him, raising him to the sky.

'Shadow of dancing leaf'

Kai moves really fast to Neji who's in the air that makes everyone think he was teleporting, Neji who didn't realize he was already in the air with him can't do much in his awkward position.

'Leaf Great Whirlwind.'

Kai delivered a barrage of kicks that made Neji spin and getting higher into the air, he made full use of his speed, reflex and his eyes to make sure there was no gap in his combo.

He continues the combo with his fastest speed until he feels he is losing the momentum where he finishes the combo with a heel drop kick that makes Neji thrown to the ground with extreme speed.

Kai lands on the ground with both feet and hands on the ground, where his vision gets darker but he tries to hold on and try to stand on both of his feet.

He can't hear clearly enough but the field seems to fall silent before finally he hears faintly the referee announce his winning followed by the thunderous spectators cheers.

Kai, who uses all the adrenaline in his body falls into the ground. His brain defense mechanism seems to be activated, which makes his brain force to shut down.
