Ten Water Dragon Bullets howled down, slamming heavily into the ground, water splashing and surging outwards, gradually reaching the feet of the clones.
Kakashi had already disappeared from his original position. The ten Narutos in the front row, along with Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, immediately began to reposition. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura stood back-to-back in the center, while the ten Narutos formed a circle, guarding the surroundings.
Suddenly, a hand appeared beneath Sakura's feet, pulling her into the ground, leaving only her head exposed. It was Earth Release: Headhunter Technique!
Kakashi took the opportunity to jump out, hearing Sakura shout "Sasuke!" but the voice that came out was Naruto's. Then, he gave Kakashi a big smile before dissolving into smoke.
'Sasuke' and 'Naruto' immediately pounced on Kakashi, trying to interfere with his movements.
The ten Narutos on the outside turned around, one of them reverting to Sasuke's appearance, quickly forming hand seals—Snake, Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger. Sasuke's cheeks puffed out:
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Shadow clone?" Kakashi was surprised. Did they use the Transformation Technique to replace Sakura while I was distracted by the Water Dragon Bullet?
How did he know my target was Sakura? No, if all three standing together are shadow clones, then no matter which one I attack, the result is the same!
Kakashi instantly understood the intentions of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. His hands moved at an indiscernible speed, forming hand seals, pushing his single-for-over-twenty-years hand speed to the extreme:
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
Kakashi slammed his hands on the ground, using them as a fulcrum to perform a beautiful aerial split, kicking away the pouncing 'Sasuke' and 'Naruto'. At the same time, a four-to-five-meter-high earth wall rose from the ground, blocking the incoming fireball. The dog head carved on the wall was charred black.
Naruto seized the opportunity to form hand seals—Dragon, Ox, Rabbit. A large amount of water spewed from Naruto's mouth:
"Water Release: Water Disturbance!"
Sakura next to Naruto released the Transformation Technique and threw six Shuriken, sealing off Kakashi's space to dodge on both the left and right sides.
At the same time, Naruto dispelled one shadow clone. As the shadow clone disappeared, the clone on the other side of the earth wall received the message and immediately gave Sasuke a hand signal.
Kakashi ran up the earth wall, only to see two Kunai shooting straight down from above. It was Sasuke's Shuriken throwing technique!
Kakashi took out his own Kunai, deflecting the attack, and ran to the top of the earth wall without slowing down, looking down at the three from a high vantage point.
The Kunai failed to work. Sakura's six Shuriken were embedded in the earth wall, and Naruto's Water Disturbance flowed down after hitting the earth wall, briefly raising the water level.
Sasuke had also bypassed the earth wall and arrived next to Naruto. They had discussed it beforehand, trying to keep the three of them together, otherwise, they would easily be defeated individually.
Kakashi clapped his hands on top of the earth wall and said, "A very impressive team collaboration. First, Naruto's ten shadow clones feigned attacks to distract me.
Then, the ten shadow clones used Water Dragon Bullet in a carpet-bombing style, and when I lost sight of you, you used the Transformation Technique to replace the main body with the shadow clones, using the shadow clones as bait.
After I attacked, you attacked from both sides, with Naruto and Sakura sealing off my escape routes on the left and right, and continuing to harass me with shadow clones.
It also seems that you have flexibly used the characteristic of shadow clones being able to transmit memories, pointing out the direction of attack to Sasuke, who was in a blind spot.
I am impressed with you, but Naruto, your Chakra should be greatly depleted, right? Do you want to just give up?"
Indeed, it was a great consumption. Twenty shadow clones, ten oversized Water Dragon Bullets in a waterless environment, and one Water Disturbance. The Transformation Technique could be ignored. If it were Kakashi, it would almost empty him.
Naruto cooperated and dispelled several shadow clones within Kakashi's field of vision, panting and saying, "It is indeed quite a consumption, but why do you think the three of us would obediently stand here and listen to you finish your words..."
Kakashi suddenly did a side flip, jumping off the earth wall, looking at a golden chain probing out from the wall with lingering fear.
"...finish?" After Kakashi jumped up, Naruto's second half of the sentence reached Kakashi's ears.
"You even learned this?" Kakashi looked along the chain, only to see the chain extending from behind Naruto, hanging down against his thigh, using the shallow water on the ground to hide it, quietly winding up around the earth wall. So that Water Disturbance had this use!
"I remember this technique not being used like this, right?" Kakashi was stunned. His teacher's Adamantine Sealing Chains were so mighty, they were like gods blocking the killing of gods, and Buddhas blocking the killing of Buddhas. How could his son use this technique so sneakily... cough, so flexibly?
"Mind your own business!?" The golden chains turned into fragments and dissipated. Naruto was really starting to pant now. Nonsense, if I had my mom's domineering aura, I would directly slap you in the face with four chains. Why would I waste my breath with you?
Seeing that Naruto was not in good condition, Sasuke pulled out a Kunai and stood in front of Naruto's right side, and Sakura followed suit and stood in front of his left side.
Kakashi looked at their movements with satisfaction and said, "Well, as ninjas, your application of ninjutsu is very good, but I want to teach you another lesson in ninja tactical skills, and that is—genjutsu!"
"Crap!" Naruto was in a trance, and saw a huge tail gently tapping him. Naruto immediately came back to his senses and said, "Thank you, big fox!"
"Tch, you can be hit by such a simple genjutsu, what a disgrace!" Nine Tails mocked.
Naruto didn't argue much. He opened his eyes and saw that Sakura had already formed a hand seal and released the genjutsu on her own. Sakura Bro is awesome, her level of dispelling genjutsu is quite good.
Just as he was about to help Sasuke dispel the genjutsu, he saw Sasuke's eyes suddenly widen and turn red, with a tomoe in each eye slowly rotating.
Naruto was stunned. Brother, you're cheating! And it's a last-minute cheat, that's too much!
Kakashi was also stunned. Could it be that Itachi's younger brother is also a genius?
Sasuke felt his own changes, looked at his hands, clenched his fists hard again, showed a Clear Skies Sasuke smile, and said softly, "With this kind of power, I should be able to defeat Naruto, right?"
Naruto was not well at all. I treat you as a brother, but as soon as you cheat, you want to come and beat me?
Sakura's eyes were almost popping red hearts from Sasuke's smile. 'So handsome, so handsome, so handsome...'
Fortunately, Kakashi was reliable and didn't forget that this was an exercise. He raised his hand slightly and pretended to be disdainful: "Sharingan? I have it too. I wonder if you, as an Uchiha, can compare to me, an outsider?"
"Don't look down on people!" Sasuke couldn't bear this grievance, and rushed up with red eyes.
Too shameless, using Sharingan against us little kids, and playing psychological tactics. Naruto had no choice but to rush up and throw a sentence to Sakura, "Cover me."
Kakashi was not ashamed and continued, "In addition to ninjutsu and genjutsu, ninja tactical skills also include..."
Kakashi disappeared in place, kicked Sasuke in the chest, and added pretentiously, "...Taijutsu!"
Naruto grabbed Sasuke, who was flying backwards, and successfully held his hand.
Sakura seized the opportunity to throw the Kunai in her hand, trying to buy time for Naruto and Sasuke to adjust their condition—she didn't see Kakashi's movements at all just now!
