"Doton: Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu!"
Kakashi Hatake's sudden attack caught Sasuke Uchiha off guard.
It was clear that Uchiha Sasuke was about to be dragged underground by Kakashi.
"Sasuke, get out of the way!"
Naruto Uzumaki suddenly leaped down from the sky, holding a kunai infused with Fūton chakra, and slammed it into Sasuke Uchiha's foot.
Fūton: Shinkūjin!
Personally instructed by Danzō Shimura, he infused Fūton chakra into a kunai, transforming it into an incredibly sharp sword, its power comparable to the Chidori Blade.
Bang!
Kakashi dared not take Naruto's attack head-on, so he had to abandon his attack, burst out of the ground, and quickly retreat to create distance between himself and the two.
"Are you alright?" Naruto asked as Kakashi stepped back.
"It's a good thing you arrived in time; otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been in his hands."
Sasuke Uchiha nodded, even though his 'father' had been teaching him ninjutsu.
But he was just a recent graduate of the ninja academy, and his combat experience was far inferior to that of Kakashi Hatake.
"Next, I'll cover you, and you find a chance to steal his bell."
Naruto Uzumaki took out several shuriken and infused them with Wind Release chakra.
Fūton: Shuriken no Jutsu.
This was also one of Shimura Danzō's signature techniques. It had the same nature as the Fūton: Shinkūjin. When the shuriken was imbued with Wind Release chakra, its power would be multiplied, and it could easily cut through rocks and iron.
"Actually, I can cover for you," Sasuke Uchiha said, hesitating slightly. "My Fire Release is better suited for providing cover."
"Do you have enough chakra?"
Naruto glanced at Sasuke and asked a thoughtless question.
Uchiha Sasuke was speechless.
Since he had not activated his Sharingan, his chakra level was no different from that of an ordinary ninja. Given his young age, it was estimated that he had less than one chakra.
"You cover me!"
Having understood this, Sasuke Uchiha did not say anything more.
Naruto Uzumaki smiled slightly and launched a shuriken infused with Wind Release chakra at high speed toward Kakashi Hatake.
Meanwhile, Sasuke Uchiha, holding a kunai, waited on the sidelines for an opportunity to attack.
"It is indeed a very strong Wind Release technique. However, a ninja's battle is not just about ninjutsu. The importance of taijutsu cannot be ignored."
While dodging Naruto Uzumaki's attacks, Kakashi Hatake did not forget to give the two some pointers.
"Hehe, Kakashi-sensei is right," Naruto chuckled. "But how will you deal with it when I use this technique?"
It was really unreliable to think that just two or three Wind Release: Shuriken could defeat an elite jōnin.
After all, Kakashi Hatake was not a sitting duck.
After Naruto finished speaking, he formed hand seals again.
Then, wisps of white smoke rose up all around.
"Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
Bang bang bang!
In just a moment, all that came into view was Naruto Uzumaki.
A rough count revealed that there were over a thousand of them, and each of these shadow clones held two shuriken, infused with Fūton chakra.
You should know that Danzō Shimura went to great lengths to win over Naruto Uzumaki.
Furthermore, taking advantage of his unusually large chakra reserves, they even lent him the Scroll of Seals.
Kakashi Hatake was speechless.
Seeing that Naruto Uzumaki still had enough energy to infuse each shuriken with Fūton chakra after using the Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, he was amazed.
He was genuinely envious!
This amount of chakra was exactly what he had always dreamed of.
Despite his renowned reputation, Kakashi Hatake had copied thousands of ninjutsu techniques using the Sharingan.
However, the number of ninjutsu he used in each battle could be counted on one hand.
It was not that he did not want to show off; it was just that he did not have enough chakra.
"Kakashi-sensei, this next move is a ninjutsu I created myself, so be careful!"
Naruto Uzumaki reminded Kakashi to avoid him dying from his next attack.
"Then let the teacher see your abilities!"
Kakashi Hatake dared not be any more presumptuous and lifted the headband covering his eyes to reveal his hidden Sharingan.
"Fūton: Senbin Shuriken Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
As Naruto Uzumaki uttered a long string of names, thousands of shadow clones simultaneously threw their shuriken at Kakashi Hatake.
Moreover, he used the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique the instant he threw it.
The already overwhelming number of shuriken increased several times over.
Nearly ten thousand shuriken, infused with Fūton chakra, attacked simultaneously from all directions, causing Kakashi's Sharingan in his left eye to spin wildly.
He tried to find even the slightest gap among the shuriken so that he could use his physical skills to dodge the dense barrage of attacks.
However, even with the Sharingan's keen perception, not a single flaw could be found.
There was no other reason than that there were simply too many shuriken, plus the enchantment effect of Wind Release chakra.
Even if you were not hit head-on by a shuriken, you would still be cut by chakra.
"Doton: Yomi Numa!"
"Suiton: Suijinheki!"
Left with no other choice, Kakashi Hatake had to use all his chakra for defense.
First, stone walls carved with dog heads rose up from the four directions: front, back, left, and right. Then, circular water walls enveloped him completely.
Whoosh whoosh!
Boom boom boom!
Ding ding ding!
Immediately, a series of piercing shrieks rang out, followed by Naruto Uzumaki's attack, which crashed against the earthen wall with a deafening roar.
Finally, there was the metallic clang of shuriken striking shuriken.
Faced with an endless barrage of Wind Release: Shuriken, the earth-flowing rock wall shattered in less than ten seconds.
The multi-layered water barrier, which served as the last line of defense, lasted only two and a half seconds.
Then, one after another, shuriken broke through the defense and spun rapidly toward Kakashi.
"The number has decreased significantly—only a few hundred left," Kakashi Hatake thought as his Sharingan spun rapidly while he dodged and weaved. "As long as I dodge these last few shuriken, I'll make sure they pass the test."
"This year's students are really too difficult to manage."
With that thought in mind, Kakashi's movements became even more agile, and he managed to dodge all of the hundreds of shuriken.
When only one shuriken remained and flew toward him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It was finally over!
This survival exercise was really exhausting.
"Naruto, Sasuke, I acknowledge your strength..."
Kakashi Hatake dodged the last shuriken by tilting his head and spoke.
However, before he could finish speaking, the shuriken suddenly transformed into the appearance of Uchiha Sasuke.
He held a kunai in his hand and thrust it straight at Kakashi Hatake's Sharingan!
...
Smash that Powerstone!
