160 Naruto Mobile Game

"Beautiful! The two skills perfectly wiped out the remaining HP of Kakashi! Deva Path successfully took the first game!"

At this moment, the grand finals are underway.

In the first game, relying on brilliant strategy and the advantage of the ninjas he picked and the BP, Deva Path took the first win.

The score became 0:1, but this did not mean the outcome of this match was already decided. On the contrary, this was truly the beginning of an intense battle.

"The atmosphere at the venue is really tense. Everyone is just a spectator, yet you're all getting infected by it, huh."

Kuroda at the commentary desk suddenly laughed.

"Even so, as spectators, it's useless no matter what you think, because you can't influence the players. Just relax and watch honestly!"

Damn!!

All the spectators were speechless. Who doesn't know that? Did you really have to say it out loud again!

But jokes aside, the atmosphere did relax quite a bit, especially for those supporting the players.

Whether they said it out loud, thought it in their hearts, or exaggeratedly prayed for blessings,

All of these were essentially self-comfort. They absolutely could not influence actual performance. Victory or defeat rested only in the hands of the players themselves.

"OK, the second game is the A-rank ninja field… Oh, the ninja pool is luxurious. Let's take a look at the BP of the two players."

"Hmm? They banned Danzo? That's a bit unexpected. They actually let Sasuke Taka through."

"This isn't too good for Kakashi, because in this round Deva Path picks first… He took him! Deva Path really took Sasuke Taka!"

"How will Kakashi respond?"

Kuroda felt a bit puzzled. These two were already old rivals—who had fought a life-and-death battle in the story—Kakashi shouldn't be careless.

He focused his gaze and saw Kakashi take Shisui.

"Shisui? Kakashi plans to use Shisui to fight Sasuke Taka? Looks like he really has thought this through." Kuroda did not comment too much further.

Aside from Sasuke Taka and Shisui, the other A-rank ninjas were basically regular strong picks, not on the same level as those two invincibility-frame ninjas.

Many spectators could already foresee it—this would be a clash between invincibility frames.

"Battle start!"

The instant he could move, Kakashi immediately controlled Shisui and pressed basic attacks, wanting to go airborne.

If Shisui really took to the air, then aside from Chidori Sharp Spear, Sasuke Taka's second skill wouldn't be able to touch him, so Sasuke Taka rushed straight forward.

Kakashi knew Deva Path would aim precisely and cast a skill. Deva Path knew Kakashi could guess what he was going to do.

Kakashi could also predict that Deva Path could predict what he would do, so he definitely wouldn't casually use Chidori Sharp Spear. Deva Path could also think that Kakashi could predict that he could predict he wouldn't do that.

But if he did the opposite, Deva Path had also thought about it, and Kakashi had surely thought about him thinking about it as well...

After less than a second of psychological warfare, Deva Path's Sasuke Taka didn't move, letting Kakashi's Shisui go airborne.

After Shisui rose, he finished a full string of A attacks. If he didn't use a skill to extend it, he would fall straight down.

Deva Path waited, very patiently.

Kakashi naturally knew this, so the key was which skill to use to extend.

Skill 1, Fire Blade, could be used three times to suppress space, but if Sasuke Taka deliberately mispositioned first, then used Chidori Sharp Spear to hit, the game would blow up.

So should he use skill 2? No! Kakashi said nothing, only kept basic attacking.

"Chidori Sharp Spear!"

Sasuke Taka suddenly raised his hand and split the lightning downward, but in that instant, Shisui's airborne figure blurred and crossed, then reverse-pulled and reappeared.

"Phoenix Flower Technique!"

Shisui sliced downward, creating three clones, then flung several kunai infused with Fire Style.

Explosions bloomed on the ground. Sasuke Taka was within the attack range, because the second segment of Shisui's second skill, throwing kunai, covered the entire mid-range!

"Chidori Blade!"

Sasuke Taka retreated for a split second, then cut forward with an invincible turn, dodging the explosion of the flame-enchanted kunai.

Then he stabbed decisively toward the ground, but at that moment Shisui reversed the first Fire Blade to pull away, then used the second Fire Blade to pull back, slashing down from above.

Sasuke Taka vanished, directly mispositioning and using the three-stage pullback of Chidori Blade.

Yet just as he had barely straightened up, Shisui's third Fire Blade chased down after him.

With a "pop," Sasuke Taka popped a Secret Scroll—Lightning Sword Transformation that could hit airborne Shisui!

But Shisui's reaction didn't hesitate for even a moment—he had already anticipated it. He instantly connected the 10th basic attack after the skill, Body Flicker, and flew away, widening the distance.

At this very moment, the venue fell into complete silence.

Almost every spectator stared wide-eyed at the big screen, and at the countdown above that had only spun for a few seconds.

Just now… what happened? Only a few seconds passed, so why were both sides' skills all on cooldown, and why had they returned to standing on opposite sides like at the very start?

Right then, Kuroda's voice came.

"My god! This truly is a battle of extreme brilliance. Both sides used up their skills, yet neither managed to get the opening hit!"

"Let me explain—strictly speaking, Shisui has 11 basic attacks."

"The first 4 are on the ground, from the 5th to the 9th are in the air, the 10th has a brief cross-shaped rush, and the 11th lands."

"Just now Kakashi slowed down the rhythm of his basic attacks and perfectly timed the 10th invincibility frame to dodge Sasuke Taka's Chidori Sharp Spear!"

"And it's not over!"

"After dodging the opponent's skill, Kakashi counterattacked—but Sasuke Taka said, if you can dodge, I can dodge too! He likewise dodged Kakashi's second skill!"

"Then Kakashi's Shisui probed with the first Fire Blade, and the next two blades chased—but Deva Path's Sasuke Taka used a Secret Scroll to block them."

"To avoid being struck down by Lightning Sword Transformation, Kakashi decisively pulled away, not giving even the slightest chance!"

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

With professional commentary, everyone roughly understood. But there was no time to be amazed, because this battle had only just begun.

Shisui used a Protecting Shuriken, then rushed straight at Sasuke Taka, clearly intending to stick close and spin him with the rotor.

Sasuke Taka had no way out this time—skills and Secret Scrolls were all on cooldown. Dodging it purely by movement was nothing but wishful thinking.

Sasuke Taka began taking hits, Shisui continued steady basic attacks.

Deva Path loosened his phone slightly. His gaze was calm like still water, yet deep within his eyes burned intense fighting spirit.

...

At this time in Amegakure, Konan discovered something that made her expression grow extremely grave.

Among the Six Paths of Pain, aside from Deva Path, the other five left behind in the village all collapsed to the ground, as if all strength had suddenly been drained from their bodies.

Nagato had concentrated all his power!

Kuroda had asked him before, and he said no one's power could surpass Pain's. Even now, he was still certain of this.

Hatake Kakashi was indeed a powerful opponent, calm enough, and at critical moments not only did he not fail, he could even unleash 120% of his strength. That brief instant of mind game just now proved it.

Not only that—Nagato could even feel Hatake Kakashi… feel that overflowing, soaring will coming from his opponent.

Want to win? Who doesn't.

Nagato's lips curled slightly. Indeed, even he could not harbor such a ridiculous thought as winning this match easily.

Sitting not far from him was someone truly formidable—flawless in every respect.

But he… will win!
