Space-Time Ninjutsu Is So Powerful, Yet You're Playing Ji Mao Taijutsu?!

Kakashi's hands flew as he completed the hand seals in the blink of an eye.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Naruto immediately felt the temperature around him soar. Then he saw Kakashi spit out a fireball roughly two meters in diameter.

But honestly...

He was quite curious whether ninjas who used Fire Release techniques all had exceptionally bad breath.

"Naruto!"

Seeing Naruto standing there in a daze, Kakashi hurriedly warned him, once again marveling inwardly at how carefree this kid was.

The attack was practically in his face...

And he still had time to space out!?

When Naruto came back to his senses, firelight reflected in his pupils. Facing this kind of supernatural power for the first time, he still felt nervous on instinct.

Seeing that Naruto still was not making a move, Kakashi was already prepared to use the Body Flicker Technique to save the kid at any moment.

But he figured it probably would not be a problem...

Even if the fireball hit Naruto, he would be alive and kicking again in a few minutes.

Naruto waved both hands, and in the next second, the Purple Light Cocoon appeared before him again.

The fireball howled as it passed through the cocoon. Then purple light suddenly flashed across Kakashi's face, along with the Great Fireball that appeared in an instant...

He really wanted to curse.

Why did you throw it so close for no reason!?

Fortunately, Kakashi reacted quickly. He leaned back, and the fireball grazed his scalp as it flew past.

If he had been a second slower, Kakashi's hair would have been done for.

"Not bad!"

Kakashi's tone was calm, but Naruto could hear the excitement in it.

That transfer technique had been executed beautifully.

And as far as he knew...

There was currently no similar method anywhere in the ninja world.

"Uncle! Keep going!"

"Give me something stronger!"

After successfully transferring the Great Fireball, Naruto's face was full of excitement. He desperately wanted to see whether he could transfer other ninjutsu as well.

Just now, he had seen that Kakashi had not dodged the Great Fireball as easily as before.

Naruto instantly realized just how formidable the Space Gate transfer technique was.

And it was not simply a transfer technique. He could even transfer Tailed Beast Balls, or even Truth-Seeking Orbs.

As long as it was an attack with a trajectory, he could use a Space Gate to transfer it.

That really meant...

Hitting me meant hitting yourself.

Naruto was as happy as a child who had just received a new toy.

Seeing him like this, Kakashi did not know whether he should be glad that the kid had finally shifted his attention away from taijutsu, or glad that the kid would not become some reckless brute in the future.

You were a Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki with Chakra like the sea...

Why the Ji Mao were you playing taijutsu with your enemies!

Besides, Kakashi also wanted to see where the limits of Naruto's technique lay.

"Alright."

He nodded and began forming hand seals where he stood.

When Naruto saw Fifty-Fifty forming seals for so long, he immediately understood what technique he was about to use...

Forty-four hand seals...

There really were not many ninjutsu in the ninja world that required that many seals.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

As Kakashi formed the seals, the water from the river began to slowly gather around them. In the blink of an eye, a water dragon over twenty meters long appeared above Kakashi's head.

With its ferocious jaws wide open, it charged straight at Naruto.

Its momentum was immense, and its sense of oppression overwhelming.

Naruto stared at the water dragon's size and felt that something was off...

The Space Gate was at most two meters tall and around a meter wide... It did not seem like it could fit such a big thing, did it?

Though puzzled, his hands did not stop moving. He first threw out a Space Gate in front of himself.

To prevent himself from being unable to transfer the water dragon, Naruto deliberately placed another one behind him. Once that was done, he leaned backward and fell into the Purple Light Cocoon, vanishing from where he stood.

Sizzle—

At the moment the water dragon collided with the Space Gate, its enormous size prevented it from entering completely.

But driven by its powerful momentum, the water dragon wore away at its own body as water splashed everywhere.

When the cocoon closed, the water dragon that emerged from the cocoon by the river was only one-fifth of its original size.

There was no need to look. Its power was definitely far weaker than before.

This attack looked rather fierce, so Naruto did not open a Space Gate directly beside Kakashi.

If something really happened...

Wouldn't he be without a jonin squad leader in the future?

Still, the effect of the transferred ninjutsu was indeed somewhat unsatisfactory.

"It seems that techniques with overly broad ranges are weakened after being transferred..."

At some point, Kakashi had lifted his eye cover. Staring with his Sharingan, he spoke.

Naruto did not take his words to heart.

After all, most ninjutsu in the ninja world followed the rule that the smaller the technique, the greater its power.

Well... Susanoo and the Great Buddha were exceptions.

To a certain extent, the Space Gate could already be considered capable of both offense and defense. What was there to be dissatisfied about?

Besides, he had plenty more cheats on him.

"Naruto, use it once more."

Kakashi clenched his right hand, and Naruto guessed that he was about to use his signature technique—Chidori.

Naruto nodded and threw out another Space Gate beside him.

Chirp, chirp, chirp—

At the same time, electricity flickered in Kakashi's hand, while a chorus of chirping sounds rang out around them. It was so noisy that Naruto's head began to ache.

He covered his ears with both hands and watched as Kakashi, trailing blue light, charged into the Space Gate before appearing ten meters away.

"Not bad. It can also be used to assist teammates in attacking."

Kakashi dispelled Chidori, lowered his eye cover, and spoke with some emotion.
