Chapter 521: Excited Sasuke
"Naruto, are you okay?"
Despite everything, Sakura was Naruto's teammate, and was shocked to see him being kicked away harshly. She then ran over with some concern and asked.
However, Naruto did not even glance at Sakura. Instead, he turned towards Kakashi, showed his teeth in a smile, and provocatively said, "A Jonin... Is this all you've got? I stopped caring about this level of attack when I was six years old. So, if you don't want to lose face, I'd prefer Kakashi Sensei to take this more seriously. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to be defeated by a Genin!"
Is this considered arrogant?
A little.
After all, Naruto had lived with 'that person' before that incident, so it's normal for him to pick up some traits.
This is after Jiraiya trained me for three years. Otherwise, Naruto's words would have been even harsher back then.
How to provoke an enemy? He indeed inherited that from 'that person'!
"Wow... So unjust!" Sakura was utterly astonished. But was it okay to provoke Jonin and their teacher like this?
At that moment, Kakashi scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, "Am I being underestimated by my student now? By the way, Sakura and Sasuke, are you planning just to stand there and watch the whole time?"Before Sasuke and Sakura could speak up, Naruto challenged, "When you defeat me, they'll have their chance to step in. But if you can't even handle me, why bother?"
Finally, Kakashi stopped smiling, and his expression turned serious.
"In that case, it's time to let you see the difference between us."
As he spoke, Kakashi immediately pulled out a sharp kunai.
Though his physical martial arts were 'average' in unarmed combat, the Katana techniques of the Hatake family were once renowned in the shinobi world!
Even though Kakashi could not reach his father's level, having a blade made him significantly more dangerous than without.
However, he didn't bring a blade today, so he had to make do with a kunai.
As for using ninjutsu, it seemed too much...
But he soon changed his mind.
Seeing him get serious, Naruto also started making hand signs with a stern face, and then, bang, a thousand Narutos appeared on the field using Shadow Clone Technique.
It was astonishing!
Unlike in the original story, where Naruto learned it through illicit means, this time, it was a technique specially taught to him by Jiraiya during his training.
The enormous chakra of the Uzumaki clan, combined with the Multi Shadow Clone Technique, could cause a qualitative change through quantitative change!
Seeing this, Kakashi couldn't help but give a wry smile. He knew the technique, but his 'meager' chakra could not afford such extravagance.
At this moment, he felt somewhat envious of Naruto.
Regardless of the outcome, Naruto's chakra was far superior to his, which is a talent.
"Kakashi Sensei, be careful!"
"Shadow Clone Technique: Two Thousand Barrage!"
What does it feel like when a thousand people charge at you with a menacing aura?
Most people would be scared stiff!
Even Sasuke and Sakura, wholly sidelined from the battlefield, were dumbfounded.
How could they fight this?
Sasuke calculated in his mind. Assuming one of his Grand Fireball Techniques could take down a hundred of Naruto's clones, then he would need at least ten Grand Fireballs to clear all of Naruto's shadow clones.
But the question was, did he have enough chakra to cast ten Grand Fireballs consecutively?
And these shadow clones weren't just targets standing stupidly in line waiting to be hit.
Thus, Sasuke's expression darkened. When exactly did Naruto become so strong and learn such a technique?
At that moment, Kakashi, overwhelmed by Naruto's human wave tactic, also felt quite miserable.
Although he had kunai in hand, he could easily take down one of Naruto's shadow clones with a casual blow, but the problem was that there were too many of them.
Moreover, these shadow clones of Naruto could also use taijutsu, making them even more troublesome.
He might end up capsizing in the gutter...
Thinking this, before he could destroy all the shadow clones that were approaching him, Kakashi was instantly blown away!
Yes, I'm blown away for real!
"Wooden dummy? Substitution jutsu?"
Naruto blinked, and then from another direction... no, from four directions at once, a searing heatwave came.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!" x4
Kakashi, who had escaped using the substitution jutsu and used the Shadow Clone Technique, then turned around and surrounded the gathered Naruto clones.
When four massive fireballs exploded simultaneously, all of Naruto's shadow clones were wiped out in one fell swoop, and Naruto's forehead immediately broke out in sweat.
The sensation of nearly a thousand shadow clones dying simultaneously was anything but easy.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have doomed themselves.
It was only because it was Naruto, a protagonist with plot armor, that it seemed no big deal.
But forcing Kakashi to use ninjutsu just by himself was something to be proud of.
Yet Naruto was still not satisfied!
He was serious about defeating Kakashi!
So, he suddenly opened his right hand and began to rub furiously!
Because in this life, Naruto had built a rock-solid foundation, gradually increasing his chakra and never missing a day of precise chakra control training, so after learning the Rasengan from Jiraiya, Naruto did not need to create another clone to release it.
Kakashi was surprised when he saw Naruto start to form the Rasengan without saying a word!
He thought, "Did Lord Jiraiya teach him that jutsu too?"
If he didn't show his true capabilities now, he would never be able to hold his head up again.
With that thought, Kakashi shamelessly revealed his Sharingan and released Chidori!
"Sharingan?!"
Sasuke was immediately shocked!
Whether it was the ninjutsu Naruto released from his hand just now or Kakashi revealing the Sharingan and releasing lightning-based ninjutsu, it made him widen his eyes.
And when the Rasengan and Chidori collided, generating tremendous power, he clenched his fists tightly.
Had he fallen so far behind Naruto without realizing it?
It was funny that he was still unaware, still immersed in the joy of having mastered a few ninjutsu.
With the emotional stimulus of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, Sasuke activated the Sharingan by the time of graduation.
This had inadvertently widened the gap between him and Naruto even further!
A look of intense unwillingness appeared on Sasuke's face. Naruto desired to become stronger, and he was no different!
At this rate, not to mention surpassing Itachi, even Naruto, who was once far inferior to him, would leave him far behind!
