"You won't be saying that when my fist meets your face!" Naruto yelled as he charged at Kakashi.
Hmmm… maybe some of the reports were right after all. Kakashi thought as he swatted the blond's fist away. When Naruto came in with his other fist, Kakashi grabbed onto it and locked the blonds arm in place.
"You know getting angry is the first step towards losing." Kakashi commented in a lazy tone.
Naruto smirked. "And getting close to me was the stupidest move you could make. Boom!"
Kakashi's eyes widened as Naruto exploded and forced the Copy Ninja to use a Kariwimi. He's knows Bunshin Daibakuha? Kakashi questioned. I thought he only knew the Kage Bunshin, someone had to have taught him that.
He didn't get time to think anymore as Naruto jumped onto the tree branch he had landed on. Naruto came at him with kick that Kakashi ducked under. However, his eyes widened as another Naruto tried to knee him in the face. Kakashi was able to block the attack in time, but it still surprised him.
Kakashi jumped off the tree, with Naruto right behind him, coming at him with a knee, punch, elbow combo that Kakashi managed to dodge. Another Naruto came at kakashi from his blind side, attempting to steal the bells, but Kakashi heard the bells jingle when the clone Naruto got a finger on them. He grabbed onto the Naruto behind him, forcing him in front as the other Naruto launched a punch at him.
There was a poof of smoke as Naruto ended up hitting his clone. When the smoke cleared he saw that kakashi was gone. He glanced around wearily as he looked for the one eyed sensei.
"You should never let your opponent get behind you." Naruto's eyes widened as he heard Kakashi's voice behind him. "Konoha Hiden Taijutsu Ogi: Sennin Goroshi (Konoha's hidden Taijutsu: One Thousand Years of Death)!" Kakashi shoved his chakra encased fingers up Naruto's butt, only for Naruto to explode, forcing Kakashi to jump away from the blast, though he still got singed.
Another Bushin Daibakuha? Kakashi thought in surprise. Was I fighting that the whole time, or did he use Kariwimi to replace himself? Looking around he saw that Naruto was not in the clearing. He's a lot better than I expected. He shrugged.
Well, whatever I still have two more genin to test and even with this surprise, I doubt they'll understand the true meaning of this test.
Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke, going off to look for Sakura and Sasuke.
Sasuke found himself seething as he watched the fight that had just gone on. The dobe had done far better than he had thought he would. And what were those techniques? Weapons replication, solid clones, exploding clones! Where was the dobe learning all this! I should be the one with those jutsu, not him!
"Pst. Sasuke."
The raven haired genin stiffened as he turned around and saw Naruto crouched down behind him. How did he get behind me? I didn't even sense him?
"What do you want dobe?" Sasuke hissed, still feeling jealous of the blond's abilities.
Naruto frowned at the attitude his teammate had but shook it off. "Listen, don't you think something's funny with this test?"
"What do you mean?" asked Sasuke, frowning as anger and jealousy was replaced with curiosity.
"I mean, three genin going after a jonin." Naruto said as if it was obvious. "A jonin is an elite ninja; there is no way a genin can ever hope to defeat a ninja of that caliber. I think we should work together."
Sasuke's eyes widened at the suggestion. Work together? With Naruto? He scoffed. "I don't need your help loser! I can do this on my own!"
Naruto's eyes narrowed. "Now listen here teme! This isn't some average jonin we're facing. That man is Hatake Kakashi, an A rank ninja who is said to have copied over a thousand jutsu! There is no way you, I or any one genin can defeat him! Hell, there's no way even three genin together can defeat him. But if we work together then we at least have a shot at getting those bells!"
Could the dobe be right? Sasuke asked himself, frowning a bit as he wondered if Naruto might actually be on to something. If our sensei really is that strong then… He shook his head, what was he thinking? He was an Uchiha, an elite ninja. He could get the bells on his own.
"I don't need your help." Sasuke stood up and glared at his teammate. "I can do this on my own."
Naruto clenched his teeth as he watched his teammate leave. Damn it! Why is he so set on doing this by himself! I know he saw my fight. Surely he can't think he has any chance of winning? Shaking his head Naruto stood up and left in search of his other teammate.
Truthfully he did not have much hope that she would be willing to work with him without Sasuke, but he wanted to at least try and get her to cooperate.
Sakura stared in shock as the fight between Naruto and Kakashi finished. Who knew that Naruto could actually fight like that? What was going on? The blond had always been an idiot, the dead last at the academy, there was no way he could be that good. But there he was using jutsu that she had never even heard of before, much less seen. Could Naruto really be that strong?
OF COURSE NOT! SHANNARO! Inner Sakura shouted. THERE'S NO WAY NARUTO BAKA IS THAT STRONG! IT'S OBVIOUSLY SOME KIND OF TRICK TO GET YOU TO THINK HE'S STRONG AND FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM! SHANNARO!
Yeah, your right! Sakura agreed with her inner self. Well it's not gonna work! My heart belongs only to Sasuke-kun! The pinkette stood up and left to find her crush, maybe if she helped him get a bell she would gain his notice. And then they would start going out, and soon after that they would get married and she would have his babies.
Her delusions set in place Sakura began to carefully walk through the forest, stopping when she heard a twig snap. Sakura looked around and froze when she saw Kakashi standing a little ways away, reading his book.
I don't think he saw me. Sakura thought to herself, she was about to continue when a voice spoke up behind her.
"Psst, Sakura." Turning around she saw Kakashi looking at her. Then he disappeared in a swirl of flower petals and Sakura saw black.
