"What the heck! We took him down that easily? Kakashi-sensei wasn't as amazing as the rumors said."
Seeing Kakashi bound tightly by steel wire and unable to move an inch, Naruto stopped bothering to hide and stepped out, shouting loudly.
"It shouldn't be that simple, right? Kakashi-sensei is a Jonin, after all." Haruno Sakura stepped out as well and carefully observed Kakashi. Hesitantly, she said, "It might be a Substitution Technique or a Shadow Clone or something."
Kakashi-sensei was a genius ninja said to have become a Jonin at twelve, while they had only just graduated from the Ninja Academy at twelve. Even if Sakura believed their coordination had been flawless, there was no way they could have defeated him so easily.
