Repeat the Course?
15: Chapter 15: Eliminated!
Repeat the Course?
How is this guy so strong?
Is this the power of a Jonin?
Sakura felt helpless and could only throw a left punch, but she didn’t expect Kakashi to catch it once again.
Is he playing rock-paper-scissors with me?
Sakura thought to herself.
“How about that?
You’re out of options now, aren’t you?” Kakashi felt a bit disappointed.
He hadn’t expected that even the strongest, Sakura, would only reach this limit; in the end, she was just a Genin…
He crossed his hands, firmly pinning Sakura’s hands together, and pulled a rope from who knows where to tie the girl’s hands together.
However, at this moment, Sakura wasn’t panicked at all; a smug, faint smile appeared on the corners of her lips.
It was exactly as she had planned beforehand.
“Sensei, my real body is over here.” At this moment, another pink-haired girl suddenly appeared behind Kakashi.
Almost at the same time, the bound Sakura Shadow Clone, having exhausted its Chakra, turned into a puff of white smoke with a poof.
“What?” Kakashi raised an eyebrow; he clearly hadn’t anticipated this.
Meanwhile, Sakura leaped forward, stretching out her arm; her target was naturally the bell at Kakashi’s waist.
In the blink of an eye, it looked like she was about to succeed.
“Lightning Release, Earth Flash!” Kakashi didn’t have time to think; he summoned a thin, long streak of blue lightning.
The lightning was so fast that Sakura couldn’t dodge in time.
It looked like a centipede with hundreds of tiny legs, darting toward the soles of Sakura’s feet.
“Ah, numb!
Numb!
Numb!
Numb!
Numb!!!” Sakura’s feet instantly felt a wave of numbness.
It was a sensation she had only experienced in her previous life when playing on her phone while it was plugged into a charging cable.
She hadn’t expected Kakashi to actually use Lightning Release, though it was clearly only at twenty percent power; otherwise, it wouldn’t just be a simple case of feeling “numb.” She would probably have been roasted!
Just thinking about it was scary.
“Sensei, you really don’t play fair, actually using Lightning Release!” Sakura said this, but a somewhat arrogant thought welled up in her heart.
She really wanted to see Kakashi’s Chidori.
While complaining about Kakashi, Sakura took the opportunity to move her legs.
Fortunately, they could still move; it seemed Kakashi hadn’t used lethal force.
“Show me your true strength.
If you don’t have the resolve to kill me, you won’t be able to snatch the bells.” Kakashi looked at Sakura before him, his expression becoming serious.
Sakura slowly stood up, her emerald eyes carrying a hint of coldness.
Let’s decide the outcome with this move; the remaining Chakra she had was only enough for this one strike.
The girl took a deep breath, and all the Chakra in her body surged in one direction; her green pupils became increasingly determined.
“Rat, Ox, Rabbit, Rooster, Xin, Boar…” In an instant, a large amount of water spray swirled around Sakura.
The water spun at an extremely high speed, like a rapidly rotating tornado, tightly enveloping the girl.
It had an air of grace, like a startled swan or a swimming dragon.
Following that, under Sakura’s control, the water spray scattered in five directions.
It slowly condensed into five high-speed rotating Water Whips.
The rotation speed of the Water Whips was so great that the naked eye could no longer see the blue water spray inside.
In a flash, five massive streams of fluid, imbued with terrifying power, swept toward Kakashi.
“What terrifying power.
Just how much more about this girl is there that I don’t know!” Kakashi thought to himself; it seemed he would have to bring out his own signature skills.
Otherwise, he would really die.
Kakashi slowly lifted his headband, his red Sharingan carrying a chilling aura.
Three comma-shaped black markings set against the deep crimson pupil—this was the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan.
It was the first time Sakura had seen it, and she felt a bit stunned.
Kakashi unhurriedly raised his right hand.
Blue light erupted from his palm, and a ball of Lightning Release Chakra spun at high speed, emitting a piercing thunderous sound.
Crackle, crackle—it sounded as if thousands of birds were screaming in pain.
This was the Chidori, a Ninjutsu that could cut through lightning, hence it was also known as the Lightning Blade.
“Then let’s see who is stronger.” Sakura bit her lip lightly and increased the force in her hands: “Water Release, Five-Horned Whip Kill!!” The girl controlled the five Water Whips to converge in the same direction, while Kakashi, wielding the Chidori in his hand, slashed directly at it; he wanted to cut through the girl’s Water Release.
For a moment, the water spray and lightning intertwined, emitting a deafening sound.
Suddenly, a flash of white light passed before Sakura’s eyes.
The girl felt everything go black, and her body collapsed to the ground as she exhausted her last bit of Chakra.
She had done her best.
Kakashi looked at the sleeping girl before him and slowly retracted the Lightning Release Chakra from his palm.
He had never expected that such an excellent Ninja as Sakura Haruno would appear in his squad.
If that Water Release ultimate move just now had been used against an ordinary Jonin, the outcome would have been hard to say.
Truly, the new generation surpasses the old, Kakashi sighed with emotion.
…
When she woke up again, Sakura found that she, Sasuke, and Naruto were all firmly tied to wooden posts.
The girl sighed; as expected, she had lost.
Although she had anticipated this outcome, when it actually arrived, Sakura still found it hard to accept.
Kakashi was truly terrifyingly strong.
Even after she used that move, she still couldn’t harm him in the slightest.
Looking at Sasuke and Naruto beside her, they were also covered in bruises; it seemed they had also lost quite miserably.
Kakashi stood in front of the three of them with a smug look, shaking the bells in his hand: “How about that?
None of you completed today’s training.” “Tch, Kakashi-sensei is bullying the weak.
If you have the guts, let us down and let’s fight for another three hundred rounds.” Naruto was very unconvinced.
The boy had even used the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu just now, and hundreds of Naruto clones had swarmed him, yet they still couldn’t beat one of Kakashi’s clones.
In the end, the boy was finished off by Kakashi with a Thousand Years of Death.
Even now, Naruto’s rear was still throbbing with pain…
“So, since none of you completed my assessment, I have decided to send you back to the Ninja Academy to repeat the course,” Kakashi said with a grave expression.
“What?!
Repeat the course?” The three of them exclaimed in shock in unison.
“Yes, this training was also my entrance assessment for you to join my squad!
Those who don’t pass have no qualifications to be my future comrades, nor are they worthy of being members of Team 7.” “Therefore, I have decided to send you back to the drawing board!” Kakashi looked at the three of them out of the corner of his eye, a faint, casual smile curling on his lips.
“No, Sensei!
I don’t want to go back and repeat the course; that feeling is too agonizing.” Naruto shuddered at the thought of studying; repeating the course was simply a nightmare for him.
“You don’t have to repeat the course, but one of you three must leave my squad, because you are all just too weak.
I don’t want to drag three dead weights around with me in the future.” Kakashi continued to act.
Sakura saw through Kakashi’s clumsy acting.
The girl connected it to the plot from the original work and immediately knew what kind of shenanigans Kakashi was pulling.
“Choose one person to be eliminated?” Even Sasuke, who was beside her, was fooled by Kakashi.
“That’s right, eliminated!” Kakashi said seriously.
