Hidden in the bushes they had chosen beforehand, Sasuke watched Naruto’s smooth movements, his fists unconsciously tightening.
“Has this loser really gotten this strong already?” His heart was filled with unwillingness.
I must pass this exercise and become stronger!
He gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
Sakura was also staring in shock.
There are so many Narutos, and they’re all solid clones?
Is this really the same loser?
She shook her head.
Sasuke must be stronger.
Kakashi-sensei will take care of him soon!
After secretly watching for a while, Sakura decided to remain where she was.
Naruto Uzumaki?
With moves like these, even an unfamiliar Chunin would probably be taken out if they weren’t careful.
He’s grown so quickly.
Or are the genin of this generation all this absurdly strong?
Kakashi, who had just destroyed two Shadow Clones, couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.
Before he could finish reflecting, the kunai that had fallen from the hands of the two Naruto clones transformed into Shadow Clones once again and charged toward Kakashi.
“Bang!
Bang!” Two explosions rang out.
It turned out that the Shadow Clones had explosive tags attached to them.
Naruto had the Uchiha to thank for this contribution.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been willing to use such an expensive consumable in his eyes.
They got him!
×2 Sakura exclaimed inwardly, while Sasuke was also startled.
As the smoke cleared, there was nothing left above the blackened ground.
As expected, Shadow Clones.
Naruto, hidden in the shadows, muttered inwardly.
Everyone here is trying to catch each other off guard.
I’d better play it safe for now.
Another Naruto walked out and inspected the scene.
“It’s over!
I blew Kakashi-sensei to pieces!” Naruto cried out, putting on an exaggerated performance.
Before he could even mourn Kakashi, a pair of hands suddenly emerged from the ground and pulled him down.
“Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu!”
Seeing only Naruto’s head sticking out of the ground, Kakashi slowly emerged from beneath the earth, still remaining cautious.
So many Shadow Clones?
An Uzumaki?
He even used explosive tags.
If I hadn’t been careful, I probably would have ended up looking pretty pathetic.
After emerging from the earth, Kakashi said, “Ninja tactics, lesson two: ninjutsu!”
Before he could determine whether Naruto was another clone, a barrage of shuriken and kunai flew toward Kakashi.
Now!
Sasuke jumped onto a tree branch from the bushes and directly used the Uchiha Projectile Technique, firing weapons toward Kakashi.
Then Kakashi was struck directly by the various ninja tools.
“Whoa!
He’s dead!
He’s dead!
Sasuke, you bastard, that was way too much!” Naruto shouted exaggeratedly, his head still sticking out of the ground.
The Kakashi struck by the ninja tools was sent flying into the air.
With a bang, he transformed into a wooden log covered in ninja tools.
“Substitution Technique?” Sasuke froze for a moment, then frantically changed his position.
Damn it, it was a Substitution Technique.
Those shuriken just now exposed my hiding place.
He deliberately left that opening!
Damn it, I fell right into his trap!
Sasuke ran while thinking about how to evade Kakashi’s pursuit, then suddenly changed direction in the middle of the forest.
Seeing Kakashi’s substitution, Sakura realized that Sasuke had fallen into the trap.
She climbed out of her hiding place and hurried off to support Sasuke Uchiha.
“Where is Sasuke?
Could Sensei have…” As she sprinted through the forest and saw that everything had gone quiet, Sakura couldn’t help but let her imagination run wild.
“So that’s where you are!” Kakashi, hiding beneath the shade of the trees, watched Sasuke and Sakura rushing toward him and reached for his ninja pouch.
In the forest, another Kakashi stood in an open clearing with a book in his hand.
Sakura, who was searching everywhere for Sasuke, spotted him.
Safe.
Looks like Sasuke hasn’t been discovered!
Just as Sakura thought this, a voice came from behind her.
“Sakura, behind you!”
“What?”
Sakura abruptly turned around.
The Kakashi who had just been below was standing behind her.
The instant she saw Kakashi, Sakura fell into a genjutsu.
“Sasuke!”
Sakura turned around and saw Sasuke covered in injuries.
“Sakura, come save me!” Sasuke called out to her while struggling to support himself.
Seeing this scene, Sakura’s mind completely broke down, and she fainted on the spot.
Sitting on a tree branch and reading his book, Kakashi couldn’t help thinking, Did I go a little too far?
After thinking about it, he felt that this was something every ninja had to experience, so he didn’t dwell on it.
“Ninja tactics, lesson three: genjutsu!” Kakashi declared.
Elsewhere, Sasuke was eventually found by Kakashi as well.
Of the traps Sasuke had carefully prepared for Kakashi, only one exploded.
All the others remained completely silent.
The Uchiha clan sure is rich.
Kakashi tightened his pocket, which was stuffed full of explosive tags.
While the two were confronting each other, Sasuke noticed Kakashi’s momentary distraction and instantly lunged toward him.
He performed an upside-down kick, sending his right foot straight toward Kakashi’s head while his hand reached for the bell at Kakashi’s waist.
Sasuke’s heart leaped with joy, but before his hand could touch the bell, he was flung away.
What kind of monsters are these?
Sakura is the only one who’s relatively easy to deal with.
I have to stay focused against the other two.
I don’t even have time to read Make-Out Paradise!
Kakashi couldn’t help but marvel inwardly as he looked at Sasuke.
Meanwhile, Sakura slowly regained consciousness while lying on the ground.
The first thing she saw was Naruto standing in front of her, and she instinctively pressed her legs together.
” Naruto, weren’t you captured?
Just now, I saw Sasuke get beaten by Kakashi-sensei.
He was covered in blood!” As though she had remembered something terrifying, Sakura shuddered as she questioned Naruto.
“Ah, that?
That was just my Shadow Clone.
Don’t worry about the details.
Sasuke’s fine!
It must have been an illusion just now.
We should go help Sasuke now.” Naruto spoke as though it were nothing and then led the utterly confused Sakura toward the battlefield where Sasuke and Kakashi were fighting.
In the forest, Kakashi and Sasuke had returned to a standoff.
The two stood on opposite sides, while Sasuke stared intently at Kakashi, trying to find an opening.
“Well, well, there’s no need to be so tense.
I admit, you’re a little different from those two…” Kakashi began, but Sasuke had already started forming hand seals.
Snake, Ram, Monkey, Boar…
Is that a Fireball?
A genin actually knows a jutsu like this?
He shouldn’t have enough chakra for it.
Kakashi’s eyes widened in surprise.
While Kakashi was still shocked, Sasuke completed the Tiger seal.
“Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!”
Taking advantage of Kakashi’s momentary surprise, Sasuke spat a massive fireball toward him.
As the flames dissipated, a large crater appeared before Sasuke.
No one there!
Where is he?
Behind me?
No…
Above me?
Sasuke frantically looked around.
Suddenly, movement came from beneath the ground.
So he’s underneath!
Sasuke realized it, but unfortunately, it was already too late.
A pair of hands emerged from below, grabbed Sasuke by the legs, and began pulling him underground.
