Secret Ninjutsu Art

Sasuke watched this scene from afar, frowning slightly. He looked down on Kakashi, thinking that for a Jonin to be so easily approached by Naruto, he was clearly being fooled. He lacked both the reaction and ability, only activating his ninjutsu after Naruto had already made his move. In Sasuke's eyes, such a Jonin was utterly incompetent.

Just as Naruto was about to grab the bells, Kakashi chuckled, and in that instant, he vanished!

Naruto grabbed at empty air!

When Naruto landed, Kakashi was standing steadily behind him.

What?!

This development shocked not only Naruto but Sasuke as well. Even he hadn't been able to detect what ninjutsu Kakashi had used to move so quickly, instantly appearing behind Naruto.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes. It seemed Kakashi wasn't as pathetic as he'd thought.

Kakashi rapidly formed hand seals, ending with the "Tiger" seal behind Naruto.

Sasuke watched in astonishment.

"That seal! Fire Release?!"

"Kakashi's going a bit too far, isn't he? It's just a test. If that jutsu hits at this range, Naruto is sure to die!"

But what happened next stunned everyone.

Kakashi squatted behind Naruto, thrusting his hands forward, his fingers directly targeting Naruto's vital area!

Sakura's forehead was instantly covered in black lines. This guy…

Naruto twitched all over, then turned his head to look at Kakashi with an awkward expression.

Kakashi seized the opportunity and gave him a final push!

"Secret Ninjutsu Art! Thousand Years of Death!!!"

Naruto screamed, soaring into the sky before splashing down into a nearby stream.

Kakashi didn't even glance at Naruto, simply picking up his book and continuing to read Make-Out Paradise.

Sasuke reached for the pouch containing his Kunai, about to open it, but Naruto suddenly burst from the water, throwing two shuriken at Kakashi.

But just as the shuriken were about to hit Kakashi, he merely pierced them through the center with two fingers, and they slowly came to a halt.

Seeing this, Sasuke stopped reaching for his Kunai.

"The gap is too big…"

As soon as Naruto was ashore, he used Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, and the outcome was predictable.

Naruto hugged Kakashi and threw a punch, but the Kakashi being held by the other Narutos suddenly transformed into Naruto himself!

Naruto had essentially punched himself in the face!

With Naruto's intelligence, he naturally couldn't figure out that Kakashi had used the Transformation Technique, switching his own body with Naruto's Shadow Clone. Naruto then argued with his clones about which one was real and which was fake.

The real Kakashi had long since run off to a tree branch to read Make-Out Paradise.

Naruto fought for a long time before suddenly realizing something and dispelling the Shadow Clone Jutsu. But when he did, he discovered that he was the only one around. The real Kakashi was long gone!

Naruto felt a bit discouraged because this Kakashi-sensei was just too difficult to deal with.

Naruto looked around, and a gust of wind carried the sound of bells to his ears.

Naruto looked to the side and was delighted to see a bell hanging on a nearby branch, identical to the ones Kakashi had!

Naruto was overjoyed.

"This must have fallen off Kakashi-sensei when he was reading just now!!"

Naruto excitedly ran towards the tree.
