Early the next morning, Naruto and Sasuke arrived at the training ground, obediently skipping breakfast.
In those stories I read before, everyone always ate breakfast and got there late; they really didn’t treat Kakashi like a person.
Who could be sure that Kakashi was actually late and not just observing from the shadows?
To be safe, Naruto decided to play his part well first.
At this moment, Naruto was sitting on the ground pretending to doze off, but in reality, he was in the Sealing Space making breakfast for the fox.
This was a tacit understanding between the human and the fox.
Eating in the Sealing Space was useless for Naruto, but he enjoyed the feeling of eating with the fox.
Moreover, the fox could always come up with something new every time it ate, which he never got tired of watching.
Sakura was sitting to the side reading a book about medical Ninjutsu, while Sasuke stood with his arms crossed, lost in thought.
Of course, it was also possible he was just acting cool.
As for Kakashi, he was currently hiding in the bushes, peeping at the three of them.
With Naruto’s secret reminder, the others also knew Kakashi had already arrived, but they didn’t understand why he wouldn’t come out.
They waited like this until ten o’clock, when Kakashi finally feigned a late arrival.
“Yo, everyone, good morning.”
However, when faced with Kakashi’s greeting, everyone just stared at him intently, with no one speaking.
“Ahem, because a black cat walked in front of me, so…”
‘So what did you do to that black cat?’ the three of them thought to themselves.
“Um, well, okay, the alarm is set for twelve o’clock.” Kakashi awkwardly took out a black alarm clock, placed it on a tree stump, pressed the switch, and then took out two bells.
“Today’s lesson is: before twelve o’clock, snatch the bells from my hands.
Those without bells will not get lunch, and will have to be tied to the tree stump over there and watch me eat my bento.”
‘So that’s why you told us not to eat, huh.’ Sasuke and Sakura looked at Kakashi speechless.
“Wait a second, Teacher, why are there only two bells?” Sakura asked after glancing at the number of bells.
“Good question.
Having only two bells means that one person will definitely be tied to the tree stump, and that person will be considered to have failed the mission, lost their qualification, and be sent back to the academy.
At least one person, or at most everyone might have to go back.
Oh right, using shuriken is also fine.
If you don’t hold the determination to kill me, you won’t be able to snatch the bells.” Kakashi looked at the three of them with a serious expression.
“Understood.” The three said in unison.
“Mm, plenty of spirit.
I’m starting to like you guys.
Well then, after I say start, it officially begins.”
Kakashi hung the bells on his waist, looked at the calm and collected trio in front of him, and spoke.
Following Kakashi’s command, the three of them vanished from the spot instantly.
“A so-called Ninja must be able to hide their own presence well…
Hm?” Just as Kakashi sensed Sasuke and Sakura’s presence, he suddenly discovered a massive lump of Chakra appearing in front of him, an amount so vast it made even him envious.
“Let’s have a fair and square showdown!” Naruto said loudly to Kakashi, arms crossed.
“Huh?” Kakashi tilted his head, looking at Naruto with some confusion.
“I’m telling you, is there something wrong with you?”
“The one with the problem is your hairstyle!”
Saying this, Naruto charged straight at Kakashi, though he kept his speed relatively slow.
Watching Naruto’s slow movements, Kakashi didn’t make any move, which left Naruto a bit confused.
Logically speaking, Kakashi should have taken out his “Make-Out Tactics” book, but he wasn’t doing anything, which made him inevitably feel a hint of vigilance.
Naruto actually forgot one point: when he was learning swordsmanship from Gekkō Hayate, Kakashi was present.
However, the fox hadn’t evolved its sensory abilities at that time, which led Naruto to overlook this.
So, he actually had a certain concept of Naruto’s strength.
At this moment, Naruto had already reached Kakashi, throwing a punch that was easily blocked by Kakashi.
Immediately following with a roundhouse kick, Kakashi crouched to dodge.
Naruto threw another straight punch, and Kakashi vanished right before his eyes.
Naruto immediately activated the fox’s sensory ability, and then he sensed a fluctuation of Chakra behind him.
“Hooked,” Naruto thought to himself, but then he felt something was wrong because the temperature behind him suddenly rose.
“Damn it, still exposed.” Naruto cursed unwillingly, his hands quickly forming seals.
“Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.”
A massive fireball instantly flew towards Naruto’s back.
Naruto also turned around instantly and slammed his hands on the ground.
“Water Release: Water Formation Wall.”
The collision of water and fire produced a large amount of mist, instantly covering the center of the battlefield.
“The little guy has quite a lot of bad intentions, doesn’t he.”
Kakashi’s voice rang out from within the mist.
“Likewise.”
Naruto replied through gritted teeth, then split into several Shadow Clones to surround himself while he crouched down and began fumbling with his legs and arms.
The reason he was so angry, besides the failed operation, was that the chili oil, pepper powder, lime powder, and various other underhanded tools he had spent all night preparing were now all wasted.
Especially the lime powder; that stuff had cost him a significant amount of his savings to buy.
Thinking about it made his heart ache to death, so he decided to stop pretending; he was going to beat Kakashi up to vent his anger.
Very quickly, the four weights were removed, totaling eight hundred catties.
He had asked the Third Hokage to get them for him when he was ten; after all, he was quite poor, and weighted gear was rather expensive.
Kakashi didn’t intend to attack at this moment; his original intention was to get a good understanding of his students’ strength, so he didn’t take any action regarding Naruto removing his weights. Follow the newest chapters on novelping dot com.
However, just because he didn’t take action didn’t mean the others wouldn’t.
Several shuriken flew at him from different directions.
He used a Kunai to knock them down one by one, but before he could make any other move, a long blade shimmering with lightning had already arrived in front of him.
Watching Sasuke raise the blade to slash at him, Kakashi’s pupils constricted sharply.
“Such fast speed,” Kakashi remarked internally, dodging to the side at the same time.
But he was ultimately a split second too slow, and the lightning-natured Chakra attached to the blade scorched a patch of his flak jacket black.
“This kid, has he actually already mastered nature transformation and shape transformation?”
“Shanaroo!”
A loud shout came from above Kakashi’s head, and a fist shimmering with a metallic luster slammed down towards him.
Kakashi dodged this blow by a hair’s breadth, but before he could take any action, the fist struck the ground directly beneath his feet.
The ground instantly cracked, causing his body to sway, and he hurriedly retreated.
A pit over two meters in diameter appeared where he had originally been standing, and a pink-haired girl appeared in the hole.
“What terrifying power.” Kakashi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear; if he had been hit by that just now, he would have broken at least a few ribs.
“Teacher is indeed very strong.” Sakura stood up and tapped her fists together, emitting a metallic clanging sound.
Kakashi could clearly see that Sakura was wearing a pair of gauntlets on her hands, with earth-natured Chakra flowing over them.
“Now that’s more like a Jonin.” Sasuke sheathed his blade and stood in place, staring straight at Kakashi.
“Jeez, I wanted to catch you off guard, didn’t expect you to see through it, Teacher.” Naruto held his long blade and slowly walked to stand between the two.
“I’m telling you guys, isn’t this a bit excessive?” Kakashi looked at the three, each equipped with a piece of gear, and all of them high-end items infused with Chakra metal, and couldn’t help but twitch his eyelids.
“Can’t help it.
After all, you are a Jonin; if we don’t go all out, we can’t threaten you.” Sakura stuck out her tongue playfully and assumed an offensive stance.
“I don’t want to go without lunch; I am super hungry right now.” Naruto spun his blade, covering it with wind-natured Chakra.
“Before killing that man, I cannot stop moving forward.” Sasuke assumed the opening stance of Thunder Breathing, lightning surging around his body.
“Is it necessary to be this serious?” Kakashi spread his hands helplessly.
“It is!” ×3
“Sigh, seeing you all like this, I have to get serious for the first time in a while.” Saying this, Kakashi pulled up his headband, revealing that spinning three-tomoe Sharingan.
Seeing this, Sasuke’s pupils just constricted, and he didn’t say anything.
Kakashi saw that his little trick didn’t work, so he didn’t waste words and waved at the three little ones.
“Come on, second round, start.”
