Chapter 23: Fighting Asuma

As all the remaining teams gathered, the time of the second exam finally came to an end.

Soon, the door of the hall opened as Sarutobi wearing the hokage robe strode in.

Behind him were famous names that had spread throughout the Ninja World.

"That's Lady Tsunade" said Shizune excitedly pointing towards a blonde hair Lady with massive weapons in front.

Shizune dream was to be a Medical Ninja and so she idolized Tsunade.

"Jiraya, White Fang, Tsunade, Minato" recited Kozuki these names in his heart as he saw all those famous characters in his memory stood behind Sarutobi.

"First of all Congratulations on making it so far" arriving at the stage Sarutobi started his speech looking at the contestants below who stood in rows as he talked a lot about sacrifices and ninja world rules and finally came to the main point.

"Whose name will appear on the screen will fight here as we will finalize last 12 contestants for the 3rd exam a month later" said Sarutobi as he moved away from the stage and everyone looked at the screen.

Soon, two names appeared on the screen.

Kozuki vs Asuma!

"It's your match Kozuki" said Kurenai to Kozuki excitedly who stood beside her.

"It's good so I can get over with it quickly" said Kozuki as he was a bit tired staying in the wild for so many days and wanted to go home.

Kurenai hearing his words looked at Asuma with pity in her eyes as she knew he was about to be destroyed.

Asuma on the other hand was pumped up as he wanted to wash the shame that Kozuki inflicted on him years ago.

"Today I'll prove it to Kurenai that I'm the best" thought Asuma fired up as he moved towards the fighting arena.

"Who do you think will win Tsunade?" asked Jiraya standing at the terrace above looking at the fighting stage below.

"Isn't it obvious, Old Man's son" said Tsunade without any hesitation.

"Yeah, I think this time you might win this bet" nodded Jiraya as he had high expectations from Old Man's Son.

"I don't think so..."said Orochimaru hoarsely looking at Kozuki who stood below with interesting eyes.

"Hey Orochimaru, do you want to bet!" Tsunade saw Orochimaru disagree and immediately wanted to place a bet as she believed that she would win this time.

"You always lose..."said Orochimaru laughing as the relationship between the three at this time was still somewhat good.

At this time, Tsunade did have fear of blood but she didn't leave the village yet as she knew war maybe here anytime and even if she couldn't fight she could help with guiding the Medical Ninja.

"Look it's starting" said Jiraya pointing towards the stage as the fight was about to start.

_____________

"Hey Kakashi do you think Asuma would win" asked Obito looking at Kakashi who stood beside his Dad.

"No" said Kakashi without any hesitation as he knew Asuma would lose for sure.

"Oh is he the one that you mentioned, the one who was stronger then you during the Academy" asked White Fang looking at Kozuki.

"What!" Minato, Obito and Rin beside were surprised by his words as they never knew of this matter.

"Yes Dad" nodded Kakashi in response not affected by his Sensei and teammates response.

"If he was stronger then you why didn't he graduate?" asked Minato as he couldn't understand why Kozuki would do this.

"I don't know" answered Kakashi after some hesitation and finally didn't tell what Kozuki said to him that time.

"Kozuki Shiro..." said Minato in a low voice remembering his name.

Today I'll prove to Kurenai that I'm the best" Asuma arrived in front of Kozuki and said his thoughts provoking him.

"Whatever...just start so that I can go home" said Kozuki a bit impatient and didn't wanted to argue with him.

"Bastard" Asuma immediately got angry thinking Kozuki looked down him and looked at the Proctor impatiently.

"Start" said the Proctor as the fight began.

"You'll pay for your arrogance" shouted Asuma as he threw several Kunai towards him.

Xiu... Xiu...

Kozuki who wanted to deflect them with his sword suddenly noticed something wrong and he immediately jumped up in the air and the Kunai exploded suddenly.

Boom...

"Good tactics" thought Kozuki looking at the explosion below but suddenly he heard a wind breaking sounds and a wind slash moved towards him.

"Wind Style" Kozuki was surprised looking at the slash in front but didn't care much as he dodged it easily in the air and fell down from the air.

"This..."Kozuki was speechless as he looked at the ground below and saw it all covered with Exploding Tags.

"I win" said Asuma smiling as he looked at Kozuki who was about to land and immediately made a seal.

Boom...

The exploding Paper detonated as the ground broke and dust covered the whole area.

"As expected of teacher's son" said Jiraya looking at the smoke below as he knew Asuma had won.

"Humph didn't I say he would win" snorted Tsunade as she looked at Orochimaru proudly.

Orochimaru didn't say anything as he knew the guy who could resist his momentum easily would never be this ordinary.

"Will he be alright?" asked Shizune a bit looking at the dust that covered everything.

"Don't worry haven't you seen his strength before, there's no way he would lose" assured Kurenai as she had full trust in Kozuki.

"That's what you get for looking down on me" said Asuma arrogantly as he knew Kozuki could never defend that explosion.

Soon, the dust started to clear away and a vague figure could be seen standing in the dust and soon the whole dusted drifted away revealing the figure in front.

"Damn! How's this possible" Asuma like he has seen a ghost had a horrifying expression looking at the unbelievable sight in front.

Kozuki stood there unharmed not even a piece of his rob was damaged.

"He-he, what do you have to say now" said Orochimaru laughing to both stunned Tsunade and Jiraya who couldn't think how that kid survived.

"I don't believe this" shouted Asuma who got mad from the shock and immediately folded several seals.

"Wind Sty....You..."

Asuma stopped suddenly as a hand covered his face and he saw Kozuki stood in front looking at him indifferently.

Bang...

Asuma's back head hit the ground as the impact destroyed the surface and Kozuki removed his hand from Asuma's face revealing the passed out Asuma in the pit.

Sarutobi was shocked at the sight in front as even he didn't catch the sight of Kozuki appearing in front of his son.

"Winner Kozuki Shiro" the Proctor announced the result after being stunned for a moment as Kozuki left the fighting arena with a mysterious air around him.
