Naruto: My Sign In System Is Too Overpowered

Chapter 17: C16: Team 7’s First Cooperation



(T/N: A bit more in detailed actions from the author huh?)

Kakashi had fought hundreds of Naruto's clones by now.

With each strike, kick, and dodge, he took down another shadow clone, dispersing them into clouds of white smoke.

At first, it seemed effortless.

His movements were smooth, precise, and elegant—the kind of skill expected from an elite Jonin.

But even for someone of his level…

1000 clones were not easy to deal with.

His breathing had grown heavier.

His stance, slightly tenser.

If this kept up, even he would start feeling the strain.

---

Hidden within the trees, Sasuke watched the battle unfold.

He narrowed his eyes, analyzing every movement Kakashi made.

'Let Naruto keep attacking… Kakashi will get tired.'

Once the Jonin's stamina dropped enough—

That's when he would strike.

'I'll snatch the bell in one swift move.'

That was the plan.

Or at least, it was.

Until—

"Sasuke, that's not gonna work."

A voice cut through his thoughts.

His eyes widened.

He turned his head instantly—

And there, standing right beside him on the tree branch—

Was Naruto.

Sasuke tensed.

"You—when did you get here?!"

Naruto just smirked.

"Sasuke, you don't know the real purpose of this test, do you?"

Sasuke frowned. "What do you mean?"

Naruto leaned forward slightly, lowering his voice.

"This test isn't about the bells. That's just a distraction."

Sasuke's brows furrowed.

Naruto continued, "The real goal is teamwork."

Sasuke stiffened.

"The only way to pass is if we all work together."

The realization hit him.

And before he could even respond—

Another Naruto clone was already explaining the same thing to Sakura.

---

Sakura's eyes widened as she processed the information.

"This… this makes sense!"

Naruto grinned. "So, let's work together."

Sakura took a deep breath, nodding.

"Alright. Let's do it."

Sasuke, still skeptical, hesitated for a moment.

Then—he exhaled sharply.

"…Fine."

"But if we're doing this, we do it properly."

Naruto's grin widened.

"That's the spirit."

Team 7 had formed their first real plan.

---

Back at the clearing, Kakashi delivered another powerful kick, sending three more Naruto clones flying.

BOOM!

They exploded into white smoke.

Now, only one Naruto remained.

Kakashi, breathing slightly heavier than before, straightened.

"Huuh… huuh…"

He exhaled.

"Shadow Clones are powerful, Naruto… but they share the same weakness as the original."

"If your physical strength is weak, your clones are weak too."

Naruto took a step back, fake fear in his eyes.

"N-No way…"

He spun around and bolted toward the forest.

Kakashi's lips curled into an amused smirk.

"Trying to escape?"

SHUNK!

Body Flicker Technique.

Kakashi vanished—

And reappeared right behind Naruto.

His hands formed a familiar gesture.

Index and middle fingers extended.

"The Ultimate Taijutsu Secret—"

Naruto's whole body froze.

"THOUSAND YEARS OF DEATH!!"

WHOOSH!

Kakashi's fingers stabbed forward—

And pierced straight through Naruto's backside!

"HNNNNNGGGHHHHH—"

Naruto trembled violently, his eyes bulging out.

And then—

BOOM!

He vanished into smoke.

Kakashi blinked.

"…A clone?"

Suddenly—

Something glinted on the ground.

His eyes flickered down.

Kunai.

Embedded in the dirt, marked with a strange symbol.

Flying Thunder God.

SHUNK!

The moment he realized it—

Naruto had already teleported behind him.

"Kakashi-sensei—"

His voice echoed with mischief.

"Time for payback."

"THOUSAND YEARS OF DEATH!!!"

"NANI—?!"

Kakashi's face paled.

The speed—too fast.

He barely managed to lean forward, avoiding the worst of the impact.

But—

Naruto's fingers still hit.

Poke!

"…Hhkkk—"

Kakashi shuddered.

A cold chill ran down his spine.

Then—

POOF!

His body exploded into smoke.

A wooden log fell in his place.

"…Substitution Jutsu?"

Naruto clicked his tongue.

"Damn, he escaped."

---

A voice echoed from behind.

"Hi~, Kakashi-sensei! I've been waiting for you."

Kakashi spun around.

There, perched on a tree branch, was Sakura.

She grinned.

And in her hand—

Was a kunai, slicing through a thin rope.

SNAP!

A trap activated.

FWIP!

A barrage of kunai rained down toward Kakashi.

"Tch—"

Kakashi twisted mid-air, dodging the blades with expert precision.

His hand flashed—deflecting kunai with his own.

CLANG! CLANG!

But—

That wasn't the real attack.

Because the moment he landed—

Sasuke appeared.

Hands in a Tiger Seal.

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!!"

FWOOOOSH!

A massive fireball roared toward Kakashi.

His eyes widened.

But before he could react—

Naruto teleported again.

Right above him.

Kunai in hand.

A grin on his face.

"Checkmate."

---

Kakashi barely dodged—

But in that split second—

Naruto grabbed a bell.

It jingled softly in his palm.

Sasuke grabbed the other.

The battle froze.

Silence fell.

Kakashi exhaled deeply.

Then—he chuckled.

"…I see."

His visible eye curved.

"You guys figured it out."

Naruto twirled the bell between his fingers.

"Well, yeah. We're not that dumb."

Kakashi smiled.

"Alright, then."

"You pass."

Sakura lit up.

"WE DID IT!!"

Sasuke crossed his arms, smirking slightly.

Naruto grinned.

This was only the beginning.
