After about 15 minutes of walking and cresting a hill, Naruto took note of a puddle in the middle of the road. Looking up again at the clear sky and warm sun just to make sure, he again puzzled out what was niggling at the back of his mind. Kakashi sensei didn't seem bothered, then again he never seemed bothered, nose deep in his book. Sakura was a lost cause and Sasuke seemed to be doing his best to ignore the girl.
And then it clicked, 'it hasn't rained in weeks.' Subtly making a clone and switching with it at the tree line just in case, Naruto figured the others had already seen through the illusion and made similar plans.
In the darkness of the tree line as their group and his doppelganger finally passed the puddle, Naruto was ready to admit that maybe his prank senses were letting him down. At least until two men poofed out from the puddle, wrapping Kakashi-sensei in chains and tearing him apart.
Knowing that if he could see through that lame illusion then his sensei for sure was fine, Naruto made ready to jump back into the fray if his clone failed its task.
"Look at that Gozu, their sensei was quick to put down!" The first ninja bearing a horned hitai-ate gloated.
"That just leaves the brats to clean up Meizu!" Lunging forward, the second horned ninja wasn't fully prepared for the previously frozen blonde to charge forward, attempting to tackle and hold Gozu around the waist. "Hahahaha, give it up kid, you're 100 years to early to take me down!"
Seals around his wrist glowing unnoticed to Gozu, the Naruto clone grinned, "It's been a blast! Katsu!" And then there was fire and light.
What Naruto never thought to take into account as he made several hundred feet worth of explosive seals along a scroll and wove it all into a bracelet, was that each tag could and would build upon each other as they were chained together.
So while a normal exploding tag alone may take off a limb or partially singe a more experience and prepared ninja, this more exponentially powerful seal array would only feed back in on itself by a much stronger value.
End result? A ten foot wide and 3 foot crater was instantly dug into the road where Gozu used to exist. Meizu was also almost immediately tossed like a rag doll into the trees, spine snapping where he was tossed first into and then through the first tree that tried to arrest his momentum. When he finally did come to a stop several dozen meters away, he would mercifully already be unconscious. Not that he had any chance of returning to ninja duties ever again between the burns, spinal damage and multiple broken bones.
Back on the street the shock-wave had been enough to toss Sakura and Sasuke both several feet while Kakashi had thought it prudent to shunshin away with Tazuna once he saw Naruto enacting his own plan. Kakashi would have to lecture Naruto on restraint in the future, but privately he was proud that the kid was taking this seriously.
Though, as he walked back onto the road with their very shaken client, he still had to chuckle at the overkill.
Leaping from the trees with a grin on his face Naruto made several clones to go find the other enemy ninja. Holding a thumbs up to Kakashi he was completely proud of himself, "Alright, score one for team 7!" Cackling like a madman, he never saw the punch that tossed him into the ground.
"What the hell was that dobe! You could've killed all of us with that! Of all the stupid, ignorant, useless-" Sakura was building herself up for a long rant before Kakashi stepped in with a hand on her shoulder.
"Mah mah, first before you berate him, Naruto-kun, please explain your reasoning." To Kakashi, this was exactly the type of teachable moment they needed. All of them. He could see the look of astonishment on Sasuke's face, no longer able to hide behind a veil of being above it all.
He hadn't reacted nearly as fast to the threat after all.
Picking himself up with an angry grumble, the now sour Uzumaki looked directly at his sensei, "Well, first I figured that the puddle was a fake, cause you know, it hasn't rained in weeks and any puddle should be gone in this heat. And I figured if I could figure that out, with everyone else being smarter than me then it should have been really obvious to you all. So I figured with my clones I could take out the threat while my teammates could protect the client."
Nodding and secretly still proud of the Uzumaki, Kakashi still had to lecture the boy, and advise all of them. "So do you know where you messed up?"
"Uuuuuh, I didn't expect the explosion to be that big?"
Shaking his head Kakashi motioned to his two teammates, "Did you consider at all that your teammates actually didn't notice the puddle was a trap?" Seeing the boy shake his head Kakashi continued, "Not only did you not communicate with your team about the possible threat, yes, your tactic could have ended with injury to your team and the client. Thankfully that's what I'm here for, to cover for your inexperience, and to help you learn from these mistakes.
" Seeing the boy lose his energy at the admonishment, Kakashi smiled internally, "Your decision making was okay up to a point, but communication is key to teamwork, keep that in mind from now on. You can't assume everyone is smarter than you and will make the same decisions as you."
With that Kakashi turned to their now sweating client, "And you Tazuna, we have much to talk about." Walking a bit away from the others, Kakashi was going to find out why the demon brothers were after a bridge builder from a small country.
