Kakashi collapsed as the black flames of Amaterasu burnt him, Fugaku sighed. He is not proud of the way he won this fight. He was pushed to this extent and barely won this fight. It’s too embarrassing.
“Haah... haah...” Taking deep breaths, Fugaku braced himself as he closed his eyes tiredly and dispersed the Susano’o.
The stinging pain he was feeling in his eyes–as if thousands of needles were being poked in his eyes–reminded him that he has overdone it.
The thought of using this opportunity to kill Kakashi did cross his mind, however, his rationality quickly dismissed the idea. It’s not that Kakashi can not be killed, but he must not be the one to do it, and not here in front of the entire village.
After he ascends to the position of Konoha’s Godaime Hokage, the life and death of Hatake Kakashi will be in his hands. He will think about what to do with the young man at that time.
In fact, as long as Kakashi is willing to accept his defeat and serve him in future, Fugaku would be willing to forgive him, after all, Kakashi is an important asset for the village with his Flying Raijin. Fugaku definitely doesn’t want to dispose of such an asset.
With such a thought in his mind, Fugaku extinguished the ever-burning black flames spread through the arena, and Kakashi’s painful screams finally died down as he lost consciousness.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Immediately as the black flames were extinguished, the Four Violet Flame Formation was removed and Tsunade, Jiraiya as well as others came to his side and hurriedly gave him emergency medical treatment.
Fugaku did not intervene with them and stood silently.

Looking at the injured and unconscious figure of Kakashi, Sandaime muttered with a bitter expression, “This is troublesome.”
Kakashi did not win against Fugaku, now the arrangements they have made in advance are completely useless.
But Hiruzen can’t blame Kakashi, after all the young man had done everything he could.
Even if Hiruzen was in Kakashi’s place, the result wouldn’t have been any different.
Thinking of the problem he has before him, Hiruzen sighed, “Sigh... it seems we really underestimated Fugaku.”
The Uchiha are extremely happy because of the victory of their Patriarch.
And now that Fugaku has defeated Kakashi, they don’t have any competition. Hyuga Kuroto is nothing to be worried about.

At this moment, an Anbu appeared beside Hiruzen and informed him, “Hokage-sama, the damage to the colosseum is quite substantial, it will take some time to complete the repairment work.”
Hiruzen nodded with a relieved breath, “I understand.”
Sandaime Hokage has one thought at this moment, ‘No... Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Kuroto can not be allowed to fight!’
He is not certain whether Hyuga Kuroto will be able to defeat Uchiha Fugaku... and even if he was certain, he wouldn’t take such a big risk this late in the game.
‘Things have to be changed... a different approach is required here.’ Thought Hiruzen as he looked around the Colosseum.
Dozens of shinobi were tirelessly working to repair the damage. Looking at such a scene, Hiruzen instructed the Anbu, “Notify everyone that the colosseum is seriously damaged, so the next stage will have to be postponed until the repairs are completed.”
“As you command!” the Anbu nodded and disappeared.
Soon, the information reached everyone in the stands.
Although a few people had their doubts, most of the audience accepted the decision.
Because the Colosseum is indeed damaged. If another such battle were to occur, there is a strong possibility that the Colosseum would completely collapse, and that would be extremely dangerous.
