44: Chapter 44 Shadow Clone! An Impatient AttackTwo figures, one in orange and one in silver, one scurried away in terror, howling and screaming, the other brandishing a paper stick with murderous intent, quickly disappearing into the depths of the woods at the edge of the training ground, leaving only the ever-receding roars and screams.
Only after the two figures had completely disappeared did a silver head cautiously peek out from a patch of dense grass at the edge of the training ground.
The real Kakashi Hatake patted his chest with lingering fear and took a long, deep breath of the relatively "fresh" air.
He stared in the direction where the two men had disappeared, a few drops of cold sweat beading on his forehead.
'Although the Shadow Clone Technique successfully lured away the most troublesome Naruto Uzumaki, achieving the tactical objective.'
Kakashi shuddered as he recalled the lingering, hellish sensation he felt when the Shadow Clone Technique was finally dispelled.'But that Shadow Clone.it's probably ruined now.'
The psychological trauma is too severe; coming back will only pollute my mental state.
He secretly made up his mind: 'Yes, I must tell it to wait until I'm properly "lying down" in the ICU at Konoha Hospital before taking it off!'
Furthermore, we must apply to the Third Hokage for the highest level of workers' compensation and damages for emotional distress!This was a heroic act of sacrificing oneself for the education of Konoha's next generation!
Forcibly suppressing the chill in his heart, Kakashi turned his gaze to the other two directions of the training ground—the hiding places of Sakura and Sasuke.
We must finish this quickly.
Kakashi's expression turned serious.'I have a feeling that if this drags on any longer, and that 'troublemaker' returns, this exercise will escalate into an uncontrollable disaster…'
On the other side, Sakura and Sasuke stood at the edge of their hiding place, looking in the direction where Naruto and "Kakashi" had disappeared, their faces full of question marks.
"This.is the survival exercise.over ahead of schedule?"
Sakura asked blankly, her tone carrying a hint of unreal absurdity.
Sasuke frowned and remained silent.
Chase after them?
Are you kidding me!
In that state, Kakashi's rage level was clearly off the charts.If you chased after him, you might be mistaken for Naruto's accomplice and killed along with him!
He could only silently light a candle for that loser in his heart: 'Good luck, you idiot loser.'
Just then!
In the center of the open space, beside the wooden post where the alarm clock stood, space slightly distorted, and a figure appeared silently like a ghost.It was Kakashi Hatake!
The two silver bells at his waist gleamed with an alluring yet cold light in the sunlight.
Sasuke's pupils contracted sharply: 'That was just a shadow clone!'
He instantly understood Kakashi's tactical intention—to use shadow clones to distract Naruto and eliminate the biggest variable and interference!
Although the memories and feelings from when the shadow clone dissipates will return to the original body, Sasuke felt that this was probably the best-case scenario, considering what happened to that shadow clone.
The survival drill is not over yet!
Without the slightest hesitation!
A cold glint flashed in Sasuke's eyes, and his fighting spirit instantly surged to its peak!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
The kunai and shuriken that had been prepared were unleashed like a torrential rain!
With tricky angles and bizarre trajectories, they collided and changed direction, forming a deadly metal net that almost covered all of Kakashi's vital points!
The Uchiha clan's exquisite throwing skills, passed down through generations, are on full display at this moment!
"Amazing!"
Seeing Sasuke's amazing move from a short distance away, Sakura instantly forgot the absurdity of what had just happened and cheered for Sasuke in her heart!
But then she couldn't help but worry: 'But.is Kakashi-sensei really okay?'
From the blackboard eraser to that.well.I have to say, this Jonin teacher seems.a bit unreliable?
Faced with this tricky attack that would have killed an ordinary ninja, Kakashi didn't move an inch, still intently reading "Make-Out Paradise".
Bang!
After a puff of white smoke, only a piece of the substitute wood, riddled with thorns, remained on the spot.
"really..."
Sasuke thought to himself, "If I miss my first strike, I won't linger in the fight!"
His figure moved through the forest like a ghost, quickly retreating from his original position and changing locations!Without the slightest hesitation.
'I can't count on Naruto, that idiot, or Sakura.I'll have to rely on myself.'
His eyes were cold; we had to be careful and ensure that nothing went wrong!
Sakura's heart clenched as she watched Sasuke's revelation and subsequent rapid disappearance.
'Oh no!Sasuke's been exposed!What if Kakashi, in his rage, takes it out on Sasuke?'
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became.With a determined effort, she left the bushes where she was hiding and cautiously chased after Sasuke in the direction he had disappeared, hoping to reunite with him.
She hadn't run far when, out of the corner of her eye, Sakura suddenly caught a glimpse of familiar silver hair and a mask behind a large tree not far ahead!
'Kakashi-sensei?'
Sakura was startled and immediately stopped, holding her breath as she hid behind a nearby bush.Her heart pounded: 'That was close!I almost got discovered!'
However, just as she breathed a sigh of relief—
"Hello."
A lazy yet familiar voice seemed to be whispering in my ear!
Sakura's hair stood on end!
He turned his head stiffly, inch by inch.
Suddenly, Kakashi Hatake appeared, like a ghost, standing half a step behind her!
The exposed dead fish eye was staring at her calmly.
"ah!"
Sakura screamed in fright and instinctively tried to back away, but suddenly felt a wave of dizziness wash over her!
"Illusion Technique: The Technique of Seeing Naraku".
Kakashi's calm voice was like a final judgment.
Sakura felt the scene before her eyes instantly distort and blur, as if her consciousness was sinking into a murky swamp.
Kakashi looked at Sakura, who collapsed and lost consciousness instantly, without any change in his expression, as if he had only done something insignificant.
————————
Sasuke on the other side, clearlyHe heard Sakura's piercing scream before she fainted.His heart sank.
'Class 7.I'm the only one left!'
This thought was like a bucket of cold water being poured on him, but it was instantly ignited by an even stronger fighting spirit!
We must seize this opportunity!
Naruto, that idiot, was lured away, and Sakura was eliminated.This is the moment for Sasuke to show his true strength!
In a flash, a simple yet highly targeted plan took shape in Sasuke's mind!
Without further hesitation, he moved like a ghost through the woods at the edge of the training ground, his fingers flying as he quickly set up several trigger traps cleverly combined with steel wire and kunai.
Just as expected!
Just as he was getting ready, he felt Kakashi's undisguised presence behind him.
Sasuke's eyes flashed with a cold light!Without any warning, he lashed out with both hands in a lightning-fast motion!
Whoosh!Whoosh!
Two streaks of dark light tore through the air, heading straight for Kakashi's face!They were two shuriken thrown at tricky angles!
