Team 7 disbanded

With several bangs, a few more of Naruto's shadow clones were destroyed.

Within moments, all of Naruto's shadow clones had vanished, leaving only the real Naruto standing there with a kunai in hand.

Kakashi showed him no mercy. He went straight up to him and kicked him into the woods.

Has Sasuke Uchiha changed positions? A glance out of the corner of Kakashi's eye told him Sasuke was no longer where he had been.

After Naruto suffered, Sakura Haruno's turn soon came. Kakashi's genjutsu scared her straight into unconsciousness.

At this point, Sakura Haruno was only there to make up the numbers.

In the woods, Kakashi and Sasuke first engaged in a fairly lengthy tracking contest. Then Kakashi found Sasuke due to his lack of experience, and only then did their battle truly begin.

They clashed with sharp kunai in hand, sparks flying before their figures sprang apart.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

They both formed hand seals at incredible speed. Kakashi finished first, with Sasuke only slightly behind him.

Two fireballs several meters across collided in the woods, instantly triggering a massive explosion. Flames scattered in every direction, setting the forest alight.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" Sasuke formed hand seals again, opened his mouth, and unleashed a violent gale.

Fueled by the wind, the raging flames instantly spread toward Kakashi.

"You really aren't an ordinary kid. Looks like you're quite proficient in both Wind Release and Fire Release." Kakashi calmly began forming hand seals for Water Release.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Kakashi pulled down his mask and spat out a massive ball of water, extinguishing the flames surging toward him.

Huge amounts of steam rose, instantly shrouding the entire woodland in mist.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"

Bullet after bullet of wind-nature chakra tore through the mist toward Kakashi.
