Kakashi Almost Blown to Death, Ninja Bear Wants to Use Flying Thunder God?

Kakashi took off.

Kakashi jumped into the Dragon Fire Technique.

Kakashi exploded.

Shadow Clone.

"Yo, what a despicable tactic. Good thing I used a Shadow Clone beforehand."

Kakashi, hiding behind a Big Tree, gasped.

The experience relayed by the Shadow Clone sent shivers down his spine.

"But, a Shadow Clone mixed within Phantom Clones... is that Sasuke's?"

"It really is..."

Swish--

Just then, a Kunai attached with an Explosive Tag attacked.

Kakashi Body Flickered away.

Rumble--

The Explosive Tag detonated with great force.

Returning to the open flat ground again, he actively fell back into the encirclement of Naruto's Phantom Clones.

"Congratulations, you've succeeded in making me serious."

Kakashi put away his dead fish eyes and looked at Naruto's Phantom Clones with admiration.

"Then let me see what's different between Naruto's Phantom Body Flicker and Body Flicker Shisui."

"Perhaps Konoha can produce another Body Flicker Naruto... no, maybe even a Yellow Flash."

Sasuke let out a cold laugh.

He silently retreated.

Kakashi noticed something unusual. Why wasn't Naruto actively attacking?

It was then that he realized he was trapped in a Genjutsu.

"Release!"

This Genjutsu was just the simplest and most basic.

Interferes with the target's vision and hearing.

Moreover, the interference wasn't much, so Kakashi didn't notice it at first.

By the time he did, he was instantly defeated.

While wondering why such a seemingly useless Genjutsu was used.

He heard a sound like raindrops burning in his ears.

So Pink Hair wasn't useless after all.

Her Chakra control Talent was excellent, making her the best candidate for casting subtle, low-level Genjutsu.

All of Naruto's Phantom Clones showed a smile.

"Teacher Kakashi, you should be able to handle this big gift, right?"

Explosive Tags!

They were all Explosive Tags!

Each Phantom Clone had several burning Explosive Tags at its feet.

"So that ninja tool pouch was full of Explosive Tags... Truly... outrageously extravagant!"

Kakashi didn't struggle and immediately raised his hands in surrender.

"You win."

"Yay! (＾-＾)V"

Pink Hair, who was hiding in the shadows, was the first to jump up.

Her tender pink face was flushed, and her eyes kept looking at Naruto beside her.

As if seeking praise.

Sasuke let out a faint smile and also jumped down from the tree.

"Well, this is quite surprising."

"I wouldn't have thought you brats were so rich, using Explosive Tags like they're free."

"Teacher Kakashi, don't be surprised yet. I couldn't stop them from exploding with so many Explosive Tags."

As soon as Naruto finished speaking, Kakashi's smiling face froze.

"You..."

RUMBLE--!!!

"Teacher Kakashi... he's not going to die, is he?"

Pink Hair, terrified by the continuous explosions, hid behind Naruto.

Her voice trembled as she spoke.

Even Sasuke felt a prickle of fear.

"Hmph, if he's dead, then that's all he's capable of. Besides, he's the one who said to fight with the resolve to kill him, so it's not our fault."

"Yes, you did very well."

Kakashi appeared behind Sasuke like a ghost.

He placed a hand on Sasuke's shoulder.

Sasuke's face instantly turned pale.

The three turned around and saw an incredibly disheveled Kakashi.

His White Hair was all messed up and smoking.

If that hadn't been a Shadow Clone just now... he might still be clutching his backside.

"That was a truly exhilarating team collaboration."

"Congratulations, you have passed."

"But then again."

Kakashi narrowed his eyes and let out a strange laugh.

His laughter made Pink Hair and Sasuke's hearts pound with unease.

"There are only two Bells, but there are three of us. You're asking us to make a choice, to eliminate one person, right?"

Kakashi froze. Wasn't that his line?

"So, have you already decided who to eliminate?"

"It's simple, I'll just become the Lead Jonin... instead of you, sensei."

He's not playing by the rules again, is he?

Kakashi looked up at the sky.

"Can we just follow the procedure normally?"

"I know you all know the purpose of this test, but let's play along for a bit, at least go through the motions."

"Otherwise, I'll lose face."

"None of us three will be eliminated."

"Because we are a team!"

Pink Hair suddenly stepped forward, looking at Kakashi with utmost seriousness.

She extended her small hand, determined to hold Naruto and Sasuke's hands.

It seemed like this would better prove they were a united team.

Unfortunately, her little plan failed.

Naruto directly pulled his hand back, causing Pink Hair's grab to miss.

Sasuke did the same.

For a moment, the atmosphere became strangely quiet.

"Congratulations, you've passed again!"

Kakashi narrowed his eyes, smiling playfully.

He then congratulated them again, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

Pink Hair blushed and lowered her head.

"You all did very well."

"Ninjas must be composed and calm, and handle various situations cautiously when carrying out missions."

"In the Ninja World, those who violate rules and iron laws are called trash."

"However, those who disregard their comrades are the most useless trash."

The Sharingan could not only copy ninjutsu, but it could also copy spoken words.

Great, saying the words of a killer in front of the victim's son.

"Since we passed, there should be a reward, right?"

Naruto chimed in.

Pink Hair and Sasuke also stared intently at Kakashi.

Kakashi wasn't surprised. That child truly didn't waste a single opportunity to improve his strength.

"Of course, what do you guys want?"

"Ninjutsu, the Shadow Clone Technique."

Kakashi frowned, "You don't know the Shadow Clone Technique?"

"Of course, that was Sasuke's shadow clone just now, wasn't it?"

Kakashi nodded, "This matter will depend on your performance later."

Then, he said with a smile, "Alright, today's mission ends here. I'm leaving first."

He disappeared with the Body Flicker Technique. After moving a distance away.

"Sasuke's Chakra wasn't enough for him to create so many shadow clones."

"Then it must have been Naruto himself who created shadow clones and transformed into Sasuke's appearance."

"But... his mastery of the Transformation Technique is too high. I couldn't see through it."

"He wants the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique... How did he know about it?"

After thinking for a while, Kakashi found himself completely clueless, unable to figure anything out.

"Forget it. That child clearly wants me to hide something when I report to the Third Hokage."

"Truly... so surprising."

Kakashi couldn't tell when a smile of relief appeared on his face.

"Alright, you passed the assessment. I'm leaving first."

Shikamaru and the others would also be coming today. He needed to go back and prepare.

"Wait, Naruto, can I come too?"

"I... I heard from Ino that everyone will be preparing ingredients... I want to go too."

"Please, we're on the same team."

Pink Hair, who was Savoring the Taste, swallowed and asked shamelessly.

Sasuke, who was about to leave to continue his training, also stopped.

"I'll go too. There are some things I wanted to ask you about."

Naruto didn't refuse either.

"Sure, let's go then."

Before long, they arrived at another training ground.

"Congratulations, you've passed the assessment."

"Mm." x3

"Then, to celebrate, shall we go for barbecue?"

"No thank you, Asuma-sensei. We have things to do, so we'll be going now."

Shikamaru said, spreading his hands, Ino casually said goodbye and walked out.

Choji, on the other hand, was full of energy.

"Barbecue~!"

Asuma heard this and thought Choji would leave with him to eat some barbecue and build rapport.

Unexpectedly, Choji turned and left, running extremely fast.

"So troublesome... Asuma-sensei, see you tomorrow."

Shikamaru said his farewells plainly and chased after them.

"Naruto, let's have barbecue today!"

Sakura and Sasuke's eyes widened.

They watched as a large meatball charged towards Naruto, and they shouted a warning.

Unexpectedly, the one who stopped was their classmate Akimichi Choji!

"Okay, just get the barbecue grill when we get back."

"Great! Then I'll go get the ingredients!"

After speaking, Choji turned into a meatball and scurried away again.

"Darling~"

Ino saw Naruto coming to pick her up and immediately pounced on him happily.

She didn't notice Sasuke and Pink Hair following Naruto at all.

"Really, mind your image, Ino."

Shikamaru walked out with a hint of helplessness.

Huh?

Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura?

Right, they're on the same team as Naruto now.

"Are there new students?"

"I'm going home first. A batch of fresh medicinal plants arrived today, I'll get some more."

He gave Sasuke and Pink Hair a friendly smile before starting to chase Choji.

Sasuke nodded slightly, and Pink Hair also smiled.

"Don't be in such a hurry, Choji. It'll be trouble if you bump into someone."

That lazy running posture meant he was destined not to catch up to Choji.

After chatting for a while, the four of them headed towards the training ground where Hinata was today.

Along the way, Ino teased Pink Hair a few times.

Pink Hair responded with a guilty smile, a heavy sense of guilt rising in her heart.

It's over. I didn't pay much attention to Sasuke today; I was focused entirely on Naruto-kun.

At this moment, in the Hokage's Office.

"You're saying Naruto wants to learn ninjutsu?"

"Yes, his mastery of the Clone Technique is very high, and his combat talent is also high. Hiding shadow clones within phantom clones has a great effect, but what surprised me is that Naruto hasn't mastered the Shadow Clone Technique yet."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was not surprised by this, took a puff of his cigarette.

"I know about this. You did well not to agree directly."

"Let me see your detailed record first."

After carefully reviewing it, Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped his fingers on the desk, lost in thought.

Body Flicker Shisui... it's been almost seven years, hasn't it?

Perhaps he could also learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Has Body Flicker evolved into Flying Thunder God?

He is Minato's child after all. Not only is his talent excellent, but he's also more obedient. I can consider it.
