At dawn, Naruto yawned and gathered at the designated training ground according to the training rules specified by Kakashi yesterday afternoon.
Because he got up early, Naruto was still a little sleepy, and the collar in front of him was not neatly arranged.
When he came here, someone had already arrived in advance.
"Good morning, Sakura."
While rubbing his sleepy eyes, Naruto said hello to the cherry-colored long-haired girl standing not far away.
"Good morning."
Sakura also said hello to Naruto.
As for Sasuke, who was standing on the other side, meditating and resting under the tree, he was automatically ignored by Naruto.
He also chose a place to sit down.
None of the three were in the mood to talk because they had gotten up early, and because of the battle they were about to face, the three of them were somewhat nervous.
Needless to say, Sasuke and Sakura had to return to the Ninja School to re-study if they failed. For Naruto, who had finally worked hard to graduate from the school, this was an unbearable result.
However, as a guiding jounin, Kakashi has absolute authority in this regard.
Even Sasuke didn't know whether Kakashi's intentions were true or false.
But every year, students are ordered to return to the ninja school to re-study, and Sasuke knows this.
In other words, Kakashi was probably not kidding when he said that if they failed, they would have to go back to school and repeat.
Even after several years of getting along, the relationship between him and Kakashi is considered close, but Sasuke also knows that Kakashi is a person who distinguishes between public and private matters. I will never act in such a serious situation for personal benefit.
Moreover, Sasuke didn't think that his friendship with Kakashi would allow Kakashi to open the door of convenience for him.
The most important thing is that his dignity does not allow him to pass Kakashi's trial in this way.
Otherwise, this would be a discredit to the Uchiha clan.
In this way, the three of them were waiting for Kakashi to arrive at the training location.
While waiting, the morning sun rose, and its red halo shrouded the forest, bringing a sense of peace.
This was obviously past the five o'clock meeting time Kakashi said.
After looking at Sasuke and Sakura who were both calm, Naruto suppressed his inner dissatisfaction and had no choice but to wait patiently.
In this way, time passed by minute by minute. I don't know how long it had passed. Just when Naruto was about to fall asleep with his eyelids chattering, Kakashi came out of the path in the forest, arriving belatedly.
"Good morning everyone."
"It's almost noon now! It's too slow!"
Naruto yelled at Kakashi with a fierce expression.
Sakura also glared at Kakashi accusingly, but in order to maintain the image of a lady, she did not yell like Naruto.
Sasuke said with an expected expression: "I have told you before, this guy's nickname is the Late King, there is no need to come so early!"
"Then why did you come here so early?"
Naruto turned his head and gritted his teeth.
Sasuke shrugged indifferently and replied: "Unlike you waiting there, I am used to practicing in my free time."
He spent the whole morning studying how to use thunder attribute chakra.
Strictly speaking, this is not a pointless wait here.
"Oh, don't you two quarrel? This morning, my friend unfortunately encountered an old lady who fell..."
Kakashi came over to break up the fight.
"Is that friend of yours a granny killer? How come you meet grannies every day?"
Naruto complained harshly.
"In a way, that's pretty much it. Life is always so dramatic."
Kakashi said this, and then took out an alarm clock, which showed the time at eleven o'clock.
He put the alarm clock on a rock, turned around and said to the three of them: "Okay, no more nonsense, I set the alarm clock for twelve o'clock, and then the three of you are going to fight with this Jonin. A practical exercise.”
As he spoke, he took out two more bells from his ninja bag.
"Bell?"
Naruto and Sakura looked a little surprised, not knowing what Kakashi was going to do.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes, as if he knew what Kakashi was going to do.
This is the obvious trap of verbal provocation again.
Sure enough, Kakashi said: "I have two bells here. Your task is to get these two bells from me before twelve o'clock. Only those who get the bells can pass my exam." , to become a true genin."
"But, Kakashi-sensei, you only have two bells in your hand? There are three of us, and two bells are not enough."
Sakura asked.
"Then let's eliminate the other one, for example Naruto..."
"Hey! Why are you excluding me? If you want to exclude me, you have to exclude Sasuke, right?"
Naruto pointed at Sasuke.
"It's hard not to agree with Kakashi-sensei's words."
Sakura agreed with Kakashi's words.
"Well!"
Naruto was like an eggplant beaten by frost, suddenly wilted.
"Okay, let's start the assessment. I'm in a hurry here. Remember, you only have one hour left. You know, there are only two bells here. In other words, the three of you also have to be wary of each other's teammates and opponents. It’s not just me, a Jonin, there will be someone who will fail after all.”
Kakashi said intentionally or unintentionally.
"What a despicable means."
Naruto said angrily.
"There is no way. The world of ninjas is so cruel. Sometimes, the closest companions may become enemies one day. If you forget this, you will not go far on the road of ninjas."
Kakashi stared deeply at Naruto.
Naruto was frightened.
It was said so seriously that he almost believed it.
No matter how you look at it, it's probably just an intimidation trick.
"Hmph, I won't be frightened by your words. I will definitely get the bell from your hand!"
Naruto shouted confidently.
"I'm talking about a simple-minded fool like you...Forget it, then, challenge me with the determination to kill me, no matter what means you use. The exercise starts now!"
When Kakashi finished these words, Sasuke and Sakura immediately disappeared from the place and surrounded the dense woods to hide their traces.
Although he could sense the traces of the two of them through the Sensing Ninjutsu, Kakashi did not do so.
After all, if he used his full strength, it would be too much to bully these genin.
Moreover, he also wanted to see what kind of surprise Sasuke would bring him.
After he left yesterday afternoon, with Sasuke's cautious character, he must have explained something to the two of them, so it was necessary to consider that his verbal trap might fail.
Thinking of this, Kakashi was looking forward to what surprises these three people would bring to him.
However... Looking at Naruto who did not hide his traces, but stayed in place openly, Kakashi couldn't figure out what Sasuke's plan was for a while.
Or, his verbal provocation strategy has been successful. Naruto did not choose to act according to Sasuke's strategy, but made his own decision.
interesting. Kakashi thought to himself.
He couldn't see through Sasuke's arrangement, which proved that the other party had grown not only in strength, but also in mind.
Unfortunately, just as Sasuke knew him well, he also knew the three people who were about to become his subordinates very well.
He knew exactly what each of them was good at and what they were not good at.
In this way, the information will be disclosed to each other. Under such circumstances, Kakashi is looking forward to how far Sasuke and the three can achieve.
"Let's have a showdown, Kakashi-sensei! A man should fight with dignity!"
Naruto folded his arms over his chest and shouted to Kakashi.
"It seems like there's something wrong with your brain."
Even if it was a strategy, such reckless behavior was not advisable in Kakashi's opinion.
Such temptations are meaningless in front of him.
The most important point is that among the three, Naruto is the most easily provoked.
"Asshole! The problem is your hair style!"
After Naruto finished speaking, he rushed straight towards Kakashi and waved his fist.
It was still this unorganized fighting method. To defeat Mizuki, he only relied on the power of the Nine Tails and the fact that there was strength in numbers.
Such Naruto, in Kakashi's opinion, is full of flaws.
Thinking of this, Kakashi lowered his head and looked at the "Intimate Paradise" series of books in his ninja bag, subconsciously wanting to take them out to see the development of the story later.
However, something quickly occurred to him, and Kakashi resisted the temptation of "Intimate Paradise" and resisted the idea of reading any more.
Before he could determine Sasuke's plan, he felt it was better to be careful.
He remembered that on Naruto's personal evaluation, he wrote the words 'the student with the best unexpectedness'.
Because he is an idiot, sometimes his behavior is difficult to judge based on common sense.
After catching Naruto's fist, Kakashi glanced at Naruto briefly and saw that the opponent quickly kicked out his left foot using the caught fist as a fulcrum.
Kakashi jumped up instantly, while Naruto stumbled forward due to excessive exertion and unstable center of gravity.
Not only that, Naruto also felt that his head was stepped on by Kakashi who jumped up. His center of gravity could no longer be stabilized, and he fell directly to the ground and took a big mouthful of dirt.
"Bah! Bah! You bastard!"
After taking a big mouthful of dirt, Naruto had a look of disgust on his face and quickly wiped the dust off his mouth.
"are you talking about me?"
The voice came from behind, making Naruto startled.
Due to his carelessness, he didn't notice how Kakashi moved.
"A ninja must never leave his back to the enemy! Let me teach you how to use taijutsu!"
Before he could turn around, Naruto instantly felt a strong impact, penetrating from the back to his lower abdomen, and then the impact went straight to his head.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
The shrill screams made people feel the heart-rending pain.
Naruto's whole body flew into the air like a cannonball, and then crashed into a small lake not far away, with a burst of bubbles emerging.
Putting down his gesture, Kakashi looked at Naruto who was knocked away by him, showing a very satisfied expression.
He has finally become somewhat proficient in the secrets of Taijutsu passed down from the Hatake family.
As for how Naruto feels, that has nothing to do with him.
Anyway, it is an undisputed fact that jinchūriki is durable.
Just as he was thinking about it, Naruto climbed up from the lake all wet, covering his burning butt with shame, and glared at Kakashi fiercely.
"You bastard... how dare you..."
"It's really amazing. You can climb up so quickly after eating my Thousand-Year Kill from the front."
Kakashi said pretending to be surprised.
"Asshole, you pissed me off! Fuck you!"
Naruto uttered obscenities, and in the lake behind him, the water surface suddenly rippled. More than twenty Narutos leapt out from under the water, and surrounded Kakashi from all directions with the force of a dragnet.
Kakashi didn't take it seriously. Even if he didn't use all his strength, an attack of this level was not a big deal for him.
Only if the three of them join forces can they have a chance of victory.
Kakashi has very good control over this.
No one of the three could be his opponent if they fought against him alone.
"Thunder Escape·Earth Walk!"
Zizzi!
Dense electric light instantly covered the ground.
Naruto's clone, which was all wet, became an excellent conductive tool.
Continuous screams were heard, and all the aggressive clones disappeared.
Naruto's body was also directly hit by lightning. His whole body was shaking, his legs were shaking, and he probably couldn't stand still.
Just when Kakashi was about to finish Naruto off, his ears twitched.
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and countless shurikens and kunai flew out from nowhere.
A formation of shurikens and kunai of this size cannot be launched by one person.
Did you lay the trap in advance yesterday?
Kakashi's figure flickered, and all his shurikens and kunai failed.
Naruto, who had been paralyzed by lightning, also disappeared and used the lake behind him to escape.
However, the attack just now had exposed enough traces.
Looking in a certain direction, Kakashi's figure flashed and gave chase.
The girl with long cherry hair was running through the forest, and she started to move positions with a panicked look on her face.
However, her traces have been exposed, and she is already a qualified bait for Kakashi.
"Sakura, I'm behind!"
It was Sasuke's voice. Sakura turned her head in surprise, and then her pupils shrank.
It was not Sasuke who appeared, but Kakashi who imitated Sasuke's voice. He formed seals with his hands, the leaves in the forest were flying, and a strong mental impact directly entered Sakura's mind.
"Oops, it seems like I went a little too far..."
Looking at Sakura who was foaming at the mouth and unconscious after seeing the terrifying illusion, Kakashi scratched his head in embarrassment.
He originally wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that the only medical ninja in the team would be so vulnerable.
This is really a bit worrying.
Just as he was thinking this, several purple projectiles rolled out of Sakura's pocket.
boom!
The mysterious purple mist instantly swept across the area, making Kakashi's eyes widen in surprise.
Poisonous fog!
Kakashi held his breath and backed away wildly, realizing in an instant that it was a deliberate bait for him to detect.
When he retreated, there was the sound of some mechanism being activated, and tough steel wires appeared from nowhere, tightly binding his body.
After pulling, the wire restraint became stronger and stronger.
"Fire Release·Dragon Fire Technique!"
The fire wave rushed towards Kakashi's body along the steel wire deep in the poisonous mist.
Boom!
The flames exploded, dispersing the poisonous mist, and ignited all the trees in the area, turning them into a sea of fire.
Not only that, a large number of kunai fell from the sky, filled with murderous intent, like a continuous rainstorm.
There was a clanking sound, the sound of the blade splitting the kunai.
Kakashi held the White Fang dagger in his hand, and walked out of the sea of fire with a slightly embarrassed figure. He looked at Sasuke and Naruto who appeared in front of him and blocked his way. Sakura had already disappeared and didn't know where to hide. .
"Interesting, is this your tactic? You deliberately led me here."
"Stop talking nonsense, I want to take revenge on my ass!"
Naruto didn't give Kakashi a chance to talk nonsense and rushed up instantly.
Sasuke also acted accordingly. His moves were more powerful and faster than Naruto's, and the foundation of his moves was also very solid, on the same level as Naruto's.
"Naruto, don't give him a chance to use the sword, otherwise we have no chance of winning!"
Sasuke shouted.
He knew very well what Kakashi was most powerful about.
It's not the Thunder Release Ninjutsu, it's the Sword Technique!
Once the sword is drawn, it means that Kakashi is already serious about them.
Kakashi like this, even if he doesn't use his full strength, is still very scary.
"I know! One move determines the outcome!"
Naruto quickly formed a seal, and more than twenty clones appeared instantly and swarmed him.
Kakashi wanted to move, but found that his steps could not be moved. He looked down and found a formation painted on the ground.
Sasuke in the distance suddenly pressed his hands on the ground, channeling chakra to maintain the formation.
Immobilization magic circle.
It is the most basic sealing magic circle. It is cumbersome to use, but if used in traps, the effect will be very obvious.
However, it was still too tender.
Trying to use a basic sealing technique like the immobilization magic circle to seal his movements is really a fool's errand.
Moreover, only his feet were sealed, and his knife-wielding arm could still be used freely.
"That's it!"
Kakashi raised the White Fang dagger and was about to swing it down.
The twenty or so clones of Naruto who rushed up formed seals on their hands again, surprising Kakashi and making his movements subconsciously.
Looking at Naruto's malicious smile, Kakashi suddenly had an unpleasant premonition in his heart.
"Awaken! The art of harem!"
boom!
After a burst of dazzling smoke, a large white naked body appeared in Kakashi's sight.
The sexy and hot girl with twin tails is surrounding Kakashi.
"Ah, Kakashi-sensei, I hate it, no need to~"
The sweet words made Kakashi unable to swing the White Fang dagger he raised. His whole body was trembling. His mind was probably blank and he was in a state of panic.
Naruto's face was full of joy.
"Succeeded!"
Concentrating all the strength in his body, he rushed in front of Kakashi and punched Kakashi hard in the nose.
Kakashi's body fell back. In the surprised eyes of Naruto and Sasuke, Kakashi turned into dense lightning and went straight towards Naruto.
"Ahhh! Ouch! Ouch!"
Naruto, who was hit by the dense electric light, suddenly twitched all over, danced in very strange postures, and made a very miserable scream.
All the clones that transformed into naked beautiful girls disappeared.
Sasuke patted his forehead and said helplessly: "I see, the one who rushed into the woods to fight with us was the Thunder Release Shadow Clone? That guy Kakashi... was so cautious in dealing with genin."
There is some reluctance, but the gap in my heart is not so unacceptable.
And even though he was a Thunder Shadow clone, the two bells he carried were genuine.
Sasuke walked over and ignored Naruto, who was twitching on the ground and his eyes rolled white. He picked up the two bells that fell on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.
◎
"Hey, you guys are out."
Not far from the lake, Kakashi leaned against the trees, opened "Intimate Paradise" and read. After hearing the footsteps, he closed the book and turned to look at Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura who were walking out of the woods. , said hello with a smile.
"snort!"
Naruto turned his head dissatisfied with Kakashi's greeting and snorted lightly.
Today was really unlucky. He was struck by lightning twice. Naruto felt that all the bones in his body were beginning to weaken and he whined.
"When did you realize those traps of mine?"
Sasuke asked.
Kakashi replied: "It is normal behavior to send a clone to test knowing that you set up a trap to lure me there. To be honest, I never expected that you could defeat that lightning clone. Moreover, using the shadow clone It's not a bad idea to transform into Sakura and trick me. He is indeed the most unexpected ninja!"
After saying that, Kakashi glanced at Naruto.
His thunder clone also has the function of a shadow clone. After the thunder clone disappears, the memory is transferred to his main body's mind.
He originally planned to lose on purpose and hand the bell to Sasuke and the others as long as they could last three minutes.
Unexpectedly, Sasuke and Naruto teamed up to directly defeat his Thunder Release Shadow Clone.
Although the method used is a bit unspeakable, if you lose, you lose. Kakashi cannot argue with this.
On the contrary, he was a little lucky that the past was not his real body, otherwise his reputation in his lifetime might not be preserved.
An improved version of the art of seduction - the art of harem!
Its power is estimated to be able to kill more than a dozen third-generation Hokages in an instant.
It is a super powerful S-level forbidden technique that can ignore the gap in physical strength and achieve a leapfrog counterattack.
Naruto, who was able to develop this forbidden technique, was also a genius in a sense.
Even now, Kakashi feels a fire rising in his stomach, and the aftereffects of the harem technique are still continuing.
It seems that the information passed to the Kingdom of Demons will include a message to be careful about seduction techniques.
Otherwise, a guy who likes to ride in two boats is likely to capsize in the gutter.
Because of this forbidden technique, the power may be directly doubled for a certain group of people.
"Okay, we've got the bell, so let's just say we passed this exercise."
Sasuke said as he took out two bells.
"Yes, yes, but only two people can pass. The remaining one needs to go back to school to re-study. The three of you will discuss who should go back..."
Before Kakashi finished speaking, Sasuke interrupted with a sneer:
"If you use this trick too much, no one will believe it. If you do what you say, the three of us will be sent directly to the ninja school to re-study. So, don't use this old trick in my life." It’s showing off here.”
After saying that, Sasuke stared at Kakashi with burning eyes.
Naruto and Sakura also looked at Kakashi with uneasy expressions.
Unlike Sasuke, they only spent a short time with Kakashi and didn't know much about Kakashi's personality.
"But I think one of you three is here to hold you back..."
Kakashi looked at Sakura intentionally or unintentionally.
In this exercise, Sakura did take the least shots and didn't even appear.
"Who are you talking about? Do you believe that I will let you taste the power of harem magic again?"
Naruto was immediately dissatisfied when he saw Kakashi targeting Sakura.
"This is a fact."
Kakashi was unmoved.
Sasuke grabbed Naruto, glanced at Sakura, who looked a little uneasy, and said to Kakashi: "If Sakura is allowed to go out to fight, she will be the first to be killed. She is a medical ninja. There is no need to put herself in danger. When the situation is unclear, taking risks will cause her to fail. Moreover, without the poison she prepared to weaken part of the power of your thunder clone, my body-holding technique alone will We still can’t fix the thunder clone.”
"..."
Kakashi was not embarrassed at all when Sasuke saw through his thoughts.
He knew it would develop into this situation.
Although the teamwork of the three of them is still very immature, it is already a remarkable act to think that the three of them have achieved this on just the first day of cooperation.
Team collaboration will slowly take shape only after a lot of experience accumulation.
The formation of any team does not happen overnight.
Even the White Fang team led by his father in the past was like this.
Among ordinary teams, there is no such thing as letting medical ninjas fight on the front line.
If Sakura is allowed to appear directly on the battlefield, Kakashi will question Sasuke's leadership ability and whether he is using Sakura as an abandoned child.
This is a very dangerous behavior for a ninja.
This kid... has gradually assumed the responsibility of becoming the leader of the Chuunin team. We can no longer treat him as a ignorant brat. Kakashi looked at Sasuke and said secretly.
"Okay, I admit that I underestimated you. If I had known earlier, I should have made the exercise a little more difficult..." Kakashi sighed, then glanced at Sasuke and the three of them seriously, and said solemnly: "Then, starting from today , I declare that you are my subordinates."
This sentence also means that Sasuke and the other three have been officially recognized by Kakashi and have become real genin.
