"Damn it!!" Konohamaru frantically shook his head, his fists pumping forward relentlessly, his expression one of utter frustration. But how could Kakashi possibly let him get close?
Damn it, I don't believe I can't hit you!
Konohamaru continued his assault for a while longer, but when he realized he was no match for Kakashi, he finally slumped his shoulders, his hands falling limp at his sides.
Gritting his teeth, he declared, "Hmph! A Jonin is even stronger than I expected."
"But I don't believe that after another round of hard work, I still won't be able to beat you, Kakashi, just you wait. I will challenge you to a one-on-one match. It won't be long before you become my defeated opponent, you just wait!"
Kakashi chuckled, "Alright! I'll give you plenty of time to defeat me, but perhaps before you beat me, you might find a better opponent to challenge."
"You'll only have a chance to challenge me if you defeat him, otherwise, if you can't beat him, you might never surpass me in your entire life, Konohamaru, do you think you can do it?"
Konohamaru's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Who, who is it? Tell me quickly."
Kakashi glanced slyly at Yelan beside him and said, "There, it's him."
Ugh…
Yelan's eyelids twitched at the words, and he thought to himself, Hmph, this Kakashi-sensei is really underestimating me. He's sending some little brat to challenge me? How could he possibly be a match for me? Besides, I can take down Chunin and Jonin, so how could I not handle this brat?
It just so happens that I don't have anything else to do today. I'll teach Naruto a lesson through this brat, so he knows there are always stronger people out there. Then he won't be so arrogant in the future!
Just as Yelan was getting ready to go, Konohamaru looked at Yelan with disdain and said, "Kakashi-sensei, who is this weak-looking person? I've never seen him before. Is he from another village?"
"Or is he from Konohagakure or the Anbu?"
"Forget it, whatever. He doesn't seem as strong as Ebisu-sensei. How can such a weak person be worthy of my challenge? I don't want to fight him. What if I beat him up, or make him cry? Then he'll pester me. I don't want to get into trouble for no reason."
"Hey! You little brat."
Kakashi's face was stern. "What is it, Konohamaru? Don't tell me you're not listening to me? I told you to spar with him, so go and fight him one-on-one. Even if you can't win, you still have to fight. You can't disgrace your grandfather's name, the Third Hokage!"
Konohamaru, hearing this, reluctantly said to Yelan, "Hmph, you pretty boy, I'm Konohamaru, grandson of the Third Hokage! I'm going to be Hokage someday. I'm formally challenging you to a one-on-one fight, and I'm going to beat you. Don't worry, I won't beat you up too badly. I'll stop as soon as you admit defeat. Otherwise, it won't be as simple as just knocking you down."
Hearing Konohamaru's words, Yelan felt a surge of anger. He didn't expect to be looked down upon by a child, and Konohamaru seemed even more arrogant than he'd initially thought.
Yelan let out a cold laugh, raised an eyebrow at Konohamaru, and said, "Alright, brat, I'll give you the chance to challenge me. But let me make something clear first: since you're the one challenging me, shouldn't I get to set the rules?"
