Teacher Kakashi, Let's Do the Bell-Stealing Exercise Again

"Really? I knew you were still kind-hearted, Naruto!" Sakura didn't catch the hidden meaning behind his words and immediately beamed with joy.

She also wanted to use this mission as an opportunity to try her best to help Naruto return to his former personality.

As his comrade, she wouldn't hesitate to use some special methods if necessary.

Don't get the wrong idea, you lot!

A glimmer of relief flickered in Kakashi's eyes, and he spoke up, "Then it's decided! Let's go, Naruto!"

However.

"No rush..." Naruto waved his hand slightly, a hint of playfulness appearing in his eyes as he stared at Kakashi, the corners of his mouth curling upward. "Kakashi-sensei, do you remember the original team entrance exam?!"

"Hm?!" Kakashi looked confused, not understanding what he meant.

"The bell test?" Sakura mused thoughtfully.

As the words fell, in an instant.

"Hiss--" Cold sweat beaded on Kakashi's forehead, and his face twitched violently. "Naruto, you don't mean you want to spar with me again..."

"As expected of Kakashi-sensei, you catch on so quickly!" Naruto couldn't help but give a thumbs-up.

Kakashi's face turned darker than the bottom of a pot, his pupils dilating. "Naruto, are you trying to break me?!"

Are you kidding? Playing a bell-snatching game with a Naruto who has mastered the Flying Thunder God.

Isn't that like an author trying to go one-on-one with Mike Tyson?!

Moreover, Kakashi couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine whenever Naruto said things like that...

Seeing this, Naruto smiled slightly. "If you don't want to play, then I'm not going..."

"..."

In the end, Kakashi succumbed to Naruto's overwhelming tyranny.

At the Konoha training ground, the wind whistled sharply.

Whoosh--

The autumn breeze swept across the earth, making Kakashi's mask flap loudly; it seemed even the wind couldn't suppress its curiosity, wanting to catch a glimpse of the face beneath.

However, Kakashi was single-minded at this moment.

His gaze was locked firmly on Naruto and Sakura opposite him, and he said helplessly, "Children, go easy on me."

As he finished speaking, Kakashi slowly lifted his forehead protector.

That left eye slowly opened.

Swish-- A scarlet light flashed like lightning, carrying terrifying ocular power. The three-tomoe Sharingan, the Kamui Tears, was revealed.

"Starting with the Sharingan right away, it seems Kakashi-sensei is getting serious!" Sakura couldn't help but exclaim, then looked toward Naruto.

She found that he remained calm and composed, without the slightest change, as if everything were under his control.

Only then did she remember that Naruto's strength had long since completely surpassed Kakashi's!

But Sakura also had a sense of pride, knowing she couldn't be a burden.

She immediately raised both fists and shouted, "Naruto! I'll provide cover!"

As the words fell, the next instant.

Bang--!

Sakura's legs stomped hard, the ground shattered instantly, and her body shot toward Kakashi like a cannonball.

In the blink of an eye, she was upon him!

Whoosh-- Sakura's right fist was now covered in a layer of blue chakra, carrying the momentum to crush everything as she smashed it toward Kakashi!

"Strength of a Hundred Fist!"

In the three years since she became Tsunade's apprentice, Sakura had been reborn; she was no longer the person she once was!

"A lethal move right from the start..." Kakashi looked helpless.

But despite his words.

Kakashi's hands moved in a blur of seals, and he slammed them onto the ground.

"Earth Style: Earth Wall!"

The next moment.

Rumble--

The earth in front of Kakashi trembled violently, as if disturbed by a giant beast, and a massive earthen wall carved with dog heads rose abruptly, standing before him.

Seeing this, Sakura shouted angrily.

"Don't underestimate me!"

As she spoke, Sakura's aura intensified.

Her fist collided fiercely with the dog head on the earthen wall like a meteorite.

The next moment.

Rumble--

The dog head was shattered instantly by the terrifying, monstrous strength, and the Earth Style Wall shook violently, spiderweb-like cracks spreading across it until it was on the verge of collapse in the blink of an eye!

"Smash for me!" Sakura shouted again, her voice imposing and mighty.

In the end, monstrous strength proved superior.

Boom--

The earthen wall crumbled completely, turning into a pile of debris and kicking up a cloud of dust, the thick fog making it impossible to see the environment within.

But Sakura was utterly fearless; she shook her fists, driving them downward with a gust of wind!

However, the very next instant.

Hum--

Sakura's body suddenly stiffened, her fists frozen in mid-air.

Because, at this moment.

A kunai was pressed against her back, and simultaneously, Kakashi's voice drifted from behind like a ghost.

"Sakura, rushing in blindly without knowing the enemy's situation isn't very wise, you know..."

The scene shifted.

Kakashi was now standing behind Sakura, his right hand holding the kunai against her spine.

In an instant, the outcome seemed decided.

However, no sooner had Kakashi's voice faded.

Suddenly.

"Swish--" A pebble radiating strange space-time fluctuations tore through the air, silently shooting to his side.

"Oh no, it's the Flying Thunder God!" Kakashi's heart jolted, and he exclaimed in shock.

As a student of the Fourth Hokage, he was more than familiar with the Flying Thunder God mark!

Back when he was promoted to Jonin, Minato had even gifted him a kunai.

And right now.

On the stone that had flown to his side, there was a perfect replica of his teacher's Flying Thunder God mark!

Sure enough, the next instant.

Whoosh--

An incredibly dazzling black-gold light erupted from the stone, and terrifying space-time power permeated the entire field as Naruto's figure appeared instantly beside Kakashi.

The moment he appeared, Naruto's palm reached toward Kakashi's waist.

That was where the bells were placed.

My body can't react in time! Kakashi's Sharingan spun like a high-speed windmill; his consciousness barely kept up, but his body couldn't match Naruto's movements at all!

Kakashi finally understood why other great nations had feared his teacher so much.

When you don't even have the chance to react before losing your life, how could you not be afraid?!

But this was only to be expected.

After all, as an S-rank space-time ninjutsu, slaughtering anyone below Kage-level was as easy as killing a chicken...

Even among the peerless powerhouses, no one could catch up, save for those at the Six Paths level!

This was the absolute confidence of the ninja world's fastest speed!

Then, Naruto's hand was about to touch the bells.

Suddenly, the next moment.

Bang--

Kakashi's body exploded like a bomb, turning into a puff of smoke that filled the area.

At the same time.

Boom--

The ground behind Naruto tore open as if ripped apart by a giant beast, and Kakashi's figure leaped out from within, his hands whistling through the air as he lunged at Naruto.

That's right, the moment Sakura shattered the earthen wall.

Kakashi had seized the opportunity to form a Shadow Clone to subdue Sakura.

Meanwhile, his real body had sneakily submerged into the ground, guarding against Naruto the entire time!

And now, the moment had arrived!

"I win," Kakashi whispered with a smile.

However.

"Kakashi-sensei, how dare you play with Shadow Clones in front of me?!" Naruto stood with his back to Kakashi, a playful smirk curling the corner of his lips.

As the words fell.

Naruto's body suddenly burst apart, transforming into a puff of smoke.

"What?!" Kakashi was instantly stunned, his entire body freezing in place.

He clearly hadn't seen Naruto weave any hand signs just now!

Unfortunately, before he could even recover his senses.

"Whoosh—!" A brand-new stone, marked with the seal of the Sword of Shinobi Love, tore through the void like a meteor, shooting toward Kakashi's back at blinding speed.

This time, he was still unable to react in time.

Whoosh—

An incredibly dazzling black-gold light erupted from the Sword of Shinobi Love seal, and Naruto's true form instantly emerged alongside it.

The moment he appeared.

Naruto slammed his hands together and crouched down.

With an expression of absolute madness on his face, he let out a thunderous roar.

"Flying Thunder God: Thousand Years of Death!"

As the words fell.

BOOM—

Naruto thrust his hands forward with terrifying force, striking toward Kakashi's rear at an unimaginable speed.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"

[Konoha Ultimate Taijutsu Thousand Years of Death has hit Kakashi, Villain Points +93!]

Chrysanthemums withered, scars covered the ground...
