Kakashi Play

Seku felt a surge of joy as he saw Kakashi and Pakkun, familiar faces he recognized.

Knowing that Kakashi was a highly skilled ninja, a Jonin, a lot of money, filled Seku with anticipation, motivating him to take advantage of this opportunity.

"Let me see, with Kakashi's personality, I'm sure he would let me borrow-"

He was about to ask for some cash from Ryo from Kakashi when he was interrupted by yet another warning message that appeared on the screen, demanding his attention.

The message said.

Ding!

[ Warning: As the caretaker of the Gaming Paradise, the host must not borrow money. Instead, let the players naturally contribute a small percentage each time to the host itself before they play any game in the Gaming Paradise. ]

Caught off guard by this unexpected rule, Seku closed his eyes and let out a resigned sigh.

"Nevermind," he muttered, his voice tinged with disappointment.

Kakashi, always observant, noticed Seku's reaction but chose to remain silent, allowing the moment to unfold.

Curiosity sparkled intense red light in Kakashi's eyes as he asked, his voice showing a hint of annoyance mixed with calmness, "Is that tower also a form of Kenjutsu?"

Seku's face showed realization, and a hint of shame colored his expression.

"Oh... I forgot about that aspect. You don't particularly like Kenjutsu because Sakumo-," Seku admitted, his features betraying a certain lack of shame.

However, as soon as he was about to finish saying it, he understood what's going on.

"Well, you're welcome to explore this place, but I have no idea what purpose this building serves."

Seku pointed towards the mysterious tower, and Kakashi followed his gaze, directing his attention to the structure.

Suddenly, Pakkun, always watchful by Kakashi's side, turned his gaze towards Seku, narrowing his eyes with curiosity.

"Why aren't you going in?"

Its voice was lazy but it grumbled like thunder, still Seku chose to ignore it.

Kakashi also fixed his gaze on Seku, waiting for an answer.

In response, Seku casually reached into his pocket and took out a piece of fabric, as if to show that he didn't have enough money to pay the entry fee.

"Look, I have nothing," he said sarcastically.

He conveyed the message that he couldn't afford to enter.

Pakkun sounded surprised as he asked, "Does it cost money?"

Seku's annoyance grew, his expression a mix of frustration and helplessness, his words dripping with sarcasm.

"Yes, didn't I mention it already?"

He snapped, his face contorted with annoyance. Like he wanted to scream out loud, "Stop asking to many fucking questions!"

Sensing the tension rising in Seku, Pakkun wisely chose to remain silent, refraining from making any further comments.

Meanwhile, Kakashi, still gazing at Seku, focused his attention on the enigmatic tower before them. When Seku turned his head, he saw Kakashi's unwavering interest, so Seku couldn't resist speaking up again.

"I understand your caution, but why don't you just go inside and see for yourself? You're frustrating to watch," Seku remarked, his words tinged with exasperation.

On the other hand, usually, Pakkun would have numerous thoughts racing through his mind when witnessing someone react in such a manner towards Kakashi.

However, considering Seku's history as a Senju clan member, who had nearly killed Kakashi earlier, and once been Kakashi's classmate, Pakkun chose to withhold his thoughts, allowing the situation to unfold further.

Seku noticed how Kakashi and Pakkun exchanged silent glances, conveying an unspoken understanding.

It seemed like they had already made a plan to keep Seku safe inside the building. When Pakkun nodded in approval, Seku realized that the plan was set in motion.

Without any hesitation, Kakashi confidently walked through the doorway.

As expected, the imposing Gorilla immediately demanded payment and Kakashi was surprised but immediately offered a lot of Ryo as a payment for going inside.

Seku was not confused about the transaction, but he wasn't sure about the purpose of the building.

He didn't know what kind of game it had that is similar to his past life.

However, he decided to ask Kakashi about it once he came out.

While Seku was thinking about how it might be boring to have only a ninja pug dog as his company, he received an unexpected notification.

Ding!

[ Do you want to watch Kakashi? ]

The message of the system said.

Soon, Pakkun looked at it and then went to Seku.

Seeing the curious gaze of the dog, Seku casually shrugged and said.

"Why not agree and watch Kakashi in combat?"

He said with a relaxed expression.

Meanwhile, inside the tower, Kakashi found himself surrounded by darkness.

Suddenly, a system screen appeared next to him, giving him a choice.

"Two players want to watch.

"Enable Livestream?"

Although Kakashi didn't fully understand the concept of Live Streaming, he knew that both Seku and Pakkun wanted to see what he was doing.

So, he nodded and accepted the option, allowing his actions to be broadcasted in real-time.

Outside, Seku and Pakkun saw a massive screen in front of them.

Ding!

[ … ]

They could only see the back of Kakashi's head, with his gaze fixed ahead.

The camera angle gave them a slightly elevated view of what was happening.

Suddenly, Pakkun noticed a message on the screen and asked Seku about it.

[ First-person or third-person point of view? ]

The system inquired.

Seku wanted to see Kakashi's experiences and initially preferred a first-person view.

However, his desire to feel like he was watching boxing entertainment on Earth better made him choose a third-person perspective instead.

He wanted to see Kakashi's actions from a broader viewpoint.

Shortly after, Seku saw a system screen appear above Kakashi's head, displaying a welcome message.

Ding!

[ Welcome to the Mixed Martial Arts Tower. ]

The system was announced.

Without wasting any time, the system explained the game's rules.

[ Rules of the Game: Avoid getting knocked out within six rounds. ]

When Seku saw the name "Paquito" on Kakashi's opponent, his initial excitement turned into confusion.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "Pacquiao?!"

The mention of the legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao triggered recognition in Seku.

After all, Pacquiao was widely known as one of the greatest boxers in history, with an impressive record of winning eight division titles.

However, the system quickly clarified that the opponent was not Manny Pacquiao but rather a computer-based ultimate boxing champion named Paquito.

Seku could only respond with a resigned, "Oh..." as he absorbed this information.

He continued to watch Kakashi attentively as a message appeared once again above Kakashi's head, indicating that the rules would be sent directly to him.

[ … ]

The game put restrictions on Kakashi.

He couldn't use his Sharingan or other techniques like grabbing or pushing.

Meanwhile, outside, Pakkun, the dog, expressed his worry about Kakashi's strong opponent and sensed the challenge ahead.

Seku, on the other hand, had a lot of ideas about the game but wasn't sure what would happen.

"Mix Martial Arts tower?"

Then, the bell rang, signaling the start of the match.

A pretend referee appeared and made a quick gesture to begin the game.

"Fight!"

Kakashi realized that his opponent was getting closer.

Step- Step- Step-

He knew he had to keep a distance as per the rules. But to his surprise, Paquito, his opponent, crouched down without making any obvious moves.

Before Kakashi could react, Paquito was right in front of him.

Swoosh!

There was a loud impact as the first punch landed, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Bang!

Kakashi's nose was slightly broken, and blood started to flow.

He tried to dodge, but his footwork wasn't good enough, leaving him open to the incoming punches.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Paquito's punches kept coming, confusing Kakashi.

He was used to fighting his friend Might Guy's impressive hand-to-hand combat skills, but this was completely different.

How did he get hit so quickly? .

Why?

A Jonin like him was being punched repeatedly?

Somehow, he felt a little humiliation as he felt like it was first time being unmatched.

The boxing gloves continued to hit his face, and Kakashi had no choice but to protect himself with his own face.

Bang! Bang! Bang!
