"...****..." - These were Hayate's last words before dropping out.
He used his last strength, but could not take down 42.
Before he was slashed, 42 covered his entire body with earth protectors.
Jonin can generally use two types of elemental chakra, but Hayate is a Jonin Tokubetsu.
He got this status, due to his exceptional knitting skills.
But like most Jonin Tokubetsu, although they excelled in one particular area, they lacked Jonin's skills as a whole, this was also true for Hayate.
He can only use one type of elemental chakra, and his chakra nature is fire like most shinobi in Konoha.
Using fire chakra on his sword was not very beneficial, so he relied on his pure kenjutsu.
Most of the time it was enough to knock his opponent down, but the shinobi who excelled in defense were his natural counter.
That was why Hayate was defeated by Baki in the original timeline.
Anyway with Hayate down, 42 started picking the next target.
And Eiji, who witnessed this fight, simply did not believe that Hayate was defeated so quickly.
'Dirt! Why is this happening?! Shouldn't this be a normal mass mission? Why is it like this...'
Eiji also experienced true fear for the first time.
He began to doubt if he could face 42, while 42 stared at Kotaru emotionlessly.
"Hmm, looks like you're next ..."
Kotaru, who was usually energetic and confident, completely froze in fear.
42 Retracts his earth protector and begins to walk towards him in a normal tempo because in his eyes his enemies lose the will to fight and he does not need to force himself anymore.
But unbelievable in this hopeless situation, Arina who is usually the most frightened begins to prepare for her attack.
He did not say anything, but his eyes showed pure concentration and he used cloning techniques to summon 4 shadows of him.
He and his shadow rushed towards 42.
"Using such a basic technique is really insulting to your opponent..."
42 looked bored and he covered his arms with the protector of the earth again and with just one swing he hit all the shadows.
Arina was also hit, but she anticipated the attack and let her right arm break to avoid the rest of the attack while using the other hand to grab her shinoby bag.
He used a smoke bomb.
"Hmm, you really underestimated me ..."
With just one swing of him, the entire smoke disappeared.
But 42 does not expect to see himself surrounded by a large number of bombs.
"Basic******* are crazy! You're just gonna kill yourself and your closest friends with this!"
42 who was usually apathetic was a little panicked and he immediately summoned the protector of the earth to cover himself completely.
...
He waited but nothing happened.
The bomb was just useless, not meant to explode!
But this is enough time to throw Kotaru out of range 42 and snatch Hayate.
Arina started running.
42 Is still confused, not believing that he is easily deceived by a novice.
"..."
Arina was still running, when 42 calmed down.
"Hmm, this is completely different from the fights I used to do, but now I will use all of them to kill you once and for all..."
The earth armor covered himself completely again, and he prepared to launch.
'At this rate, everyone will die ... ****! Why doesn't my body listen to me!!!'
Upon seeing Arina's outstanding appearance, even though she was much weaker than him, she began to feel embarrassed.
He wanted to help as well, but his body did not listen to him.
It was his first life and death fight, and even though he was an adult in his last life, his current body did not care about any of it and continued to behave like a child's body.
42 looked towards Arina who was running and aimed her attack at him.
He would shoot out like a bullet, and with the strength of his armor, the damage would be devastating!
'Damn it, this fucking body won't stop me!'
Eiji bit his lips so hard that blood started to flow.
"OOOMM!!!!"
42 Attack like a bullet, but he hits nothing!
"Jo shit, sorry to keep you waiting..."
Eiji dropped Arina and Hayate beside him and held a sword on one of his shoulders.
