Kakashi looked at the three of them and put away the laziness on his face.
"However, the first level is just to confirm whether you are qualified to become a ninja."
Naruto immediately became alert.
"Is there a second level?"
"Of course."
Kakashi raised his hand, and three Bell dropped from his waist.
Bell is engraved with fine details on the surface, Pattern, which makes a crisp sound when gently struck by the wind.
"The second game Test, actual combat."
Naruto's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is the fight finally going to happen?"
"The three of you deal with me together."
Kakashi tied Bell around his waist and spoke calmly.
"Test The purpose is very simple. To train you how to react on the spot when facing an opponent whose strength far exceeds your own."
Sakura was startled for a moment.
"Strength far exceeds ours?"
"That's right."
Kakashi nodded.
"I will not suppress my strength, nor will I show mercy just because you are newcomers. What you have to do is snatch Bell from me."
Naruto stared at the three Bell and immediately grasped Kunai.
"Then what are you waiting for?"
Sakura hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Naruto, discuss tactics first!"
"What's there to discuss?"
Naruto shook Sakura's hand away.
"The opponent is right in front of you, why don't you just defeat him?"
Sasuke frowned.
"You haven't even figured out the strength of Kakashi, so you're going to attack directly?"
"Then when are you going to wait?"
Naruto grinned.
"Wait until he delivers Bell himself?"
As soon as the words fell, Naruto had already rushed out holding Kunai.
Sakura's face changed.
"Naruto!"
Sasuke's eyes also darkened.
Kakashi stood there, not even opening Forehead Protector. He just raised a hand to block the Kunai stabbed by Naruto.
Bang!
The sound of metal clashing sounded.
Naruto's wrists were numb, but he did not retreat. Instead, he used the momentum to raise his legs and kick Kakashi in the chest.
Kakashi sidestepped and flicked his finger on Naruto's forehead.
Bang!
Naruto flew upside down and broke a branch as thick as a bowl.
"Naruto!"
Sakura exclaimed.
Naruto did a somersault in mid-air and landed firmly without any flinch on his face.
"This is interesting!"
His hands quickly Hand Seals.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Bang bang bang!
A large sheet of white smoke exploded on the training ground, and a dozen Naruto appeared at the same time, waving Kunai and rushing towards Kakashi from all directions.
Kakashi lifted Forehead Protector, revealing the scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan in his left eye.
"There are quite a few."
He whispered something, and then the figure disappeared from the place.
An afterimage passed by.
Before Shadow Clone at the front could turn around, he was kicked away by Kakashi.
Immediately afterwards, the second, third, and fourth Shadow Clone turned into smoke one after another.
The main body of Naruto was mixed among the clones. Taking advantage of the gap between Kakashi's attack, Kunai suddenly rushed in, and Kunai pointed directly at Bell.
But Kakashi seemed to have seen through his movements in advance. He turned his body slightly, avoided the attack, and grabbed Naruto's wrist with his backhand.
"Found it."
Naruto's pupils shrank.
The next moment, he felt like the world was spinning, and his body was thrown directly into the mud by Kakashi.
Boom!
Dust splashes.
Kakashi let go of his hand and took two steps back.
"Too much reliance on Shadow Clone to create chaos, but he did not hide his own aura."
"This level of disguise is meaningless to a true master."
Naruto climbed out of the pit, his face covered with mud.
"Damn it!"
At this moment, Kakashi suddenly stepped back.
He stepped on the tree trunk, used the force to jump up, and rushed deep into the woods in a blink of an eye.
Naruto was stunned.
"He ran away?"
The voice of Kakashi came from far away.
"If you don't even dare to chase, Bell will never be obtained."
Naruto couldn't bear this kind of provocation, so he chased after him.
"Wait! I'll snatch Bell back right away!"
Sakura hurriedly shouted, "Naruto, don't chase alone!"
But the figure of Naruto has disappeared into the woods.
Sasuke looked in the direction Kakashi left with an ugly expression on his face.
"On purpose again."
Sakura asked, "Do you think this is a trap?"
"Of course."
Sasuke pull out Kunai.
"Kakashi clearly had an absolute advantage just now, but suddenly retreated on his own initiative. He was inducing Naruto to pursue him."
"Then what do we do?"
"Follow me."
Sasuke rushed into the woods first.
Sakura gritted his teeth and could only follow closely.
The two followed the footprints left by Naruto for a moment, and soon heard shouts from ahead.
"Let me out!"
"Kakashi-sensei, what are you Ninjutsu?"
Sasuke and Sakura pushed aside the bushes, and the scene in front of them stopped them at the same time.
Naruto was buried in a large piece of soil, with only one head exposed.
Kakashi stood beside him, his palms still in the Hand Seals posture.
"Earth Release, Double Suicide Decapitation Technique."
Kakashi looked at Sasuke and Sakura.
"I thought you would be later."
Naruto was so angry that his face turned red.
"Sasuke, Sakura, dig me out quickly!"
Sakura Just as he was about to pass, there was suddenly nothing under his feet.
"Ah!"
She fell completely into the mire.
The black mud instantly reached the waist and was still swallowing upwards.
"Swamp of the Underworld?"
Kakashi stood not far away, with a hint of joking in his tone.
Sakura held his hands on the clay surface, his face turned pale.
"Help!"
Kakashi raised his hand Hand Seals, and the next moment, Kakashi standing next to Naruto suddenly turned into a puff of smoke.
Bang!
Shadow Clone dissipates.
Naruto was stunned in place.
"What?"
On the other side of the woods, the real Sakura and Sasuke frowned at the same time.
The two of them hid behind a big tree and looked ahead through the branches and leaves.
What fell into Swamp of the Underworld just now was not the body of Sakura, but the clone made by Sasuke.
The real Sakura is next to Sasuke.
She whispered, "Kakashi-sensei has discovered our plan?"
"He knew it from the beginning."
Sasuke stared at Kakashi in the distance.
"Naruto is buried, and that Sakura is just Shadow Clone. Kakashi deliberately left holes, just to let us continue to be exposed."
"What about Naruto?"
Sasuke has no answer.
Naruto was now grabbed by Kakashi's collar and lifted in the air like a chicken.
Kakashi looked at him with a very direct tone.
"You are too reckless."
"I didn't confirm the enemy's position, didn't observe the surrounding environment, and didn't wait for support from my teammates. When I saw me leaving, I chased him into the woods alone."
"You have no sense of teamwork at all."
Naruto gritted his teeth and said, "I just want to grab Bell!"
"So now you are buried in the ground."
Kakashi let go of his hand, and Naruto fell back into the pit.
Behind the tree, Sasuke's eyes kept scanning the surroundings.
"Kakashi's attention is on Naruto."
Sakura asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I'll go out and attract him."
Sasuke's finger presses Kunai.
"You go and save Naruto."
Sakura was stunned.
"But you are alone..."
"I know how strong Kakashi is."
Sasuke looked ahead and spoke in a low tone.
"He used to be Itachi Uchiha's boss."
"Itachi evaluated him. Kakashi is not an ordinary Jonin. His speed, combat experience and Sharingan are enough to suppress most ninjas of the same level."
"Do you understand that you have to take action alone?"
"It is precisely because of understanding that someone needs to attract his full attention."
Sasuke turned to look at Sakura.
"Naruto's combat power is not weak, but he lacks judgment. His Shadow Clone and Chakra power is enough to cause trouble for Kakashi."
"As long as you rescue him, the three of us will have a chance to join forces."
