Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

Kai was resolute and absolutely certain.

"No, I'll treat you after the exam! Let's go out for a barbecue feast, please!"

Kakashi was wearing a mask, so his expression was not visible.

Death Forest Exercise Ground 25.

Kakashi took a few steps and then said, "Aren't you afraid those kids will be hurt?"

Shout it out loud every day.

A figure arrived late.

Chiba felt that he must be laughing right now.

……

"Damn it, that teacher who's always late, I'm going to beat him up with a stick later!"

"Ok."

I walked several steps.

Kakashi waved, his eyes full of smiles: "Sorry, I overslept and only just got here. Hmm, you all seem to be doing well. Have you had breakfast?"

Matt Kai's eyes darted around.

Kai was unusually serious.

"Oh dear, I could have arrived earlier, but I got lost. Anyway, without further ado, let me briefly explain the exam rules."

"Cough, that's right. In my team, there's no need to worry about Li. I know his strength and situation very well. Although Mami's talent is average, his physical skills and kunai throwing are quite good. He's a good support."

"Thank you so much! You truly are my eternal rival. You even moved the time to noon just for me!"

Kakashi's lips twitched, but he didn't explain; he simply picked up the book and continued forward.

but.

Kai didn't hesitate: "I admit defeat!"

"Impossible! I trust my subordinates!"

"Come down, he probably won't be here anytime soon."

Matt Kay was deeply moved.

Kakashi glanced at him sideways.

"Arrive at Death Forest No. 25 at noon."

"Yes, for some reason, that kid seems to be treating Chiba as a potential rival, so I thought I'd let him see Chiba's abilities."

Tian Tian was burning with anger, then looked up and said, "Kazusa, come down. We haven't had breakfast yet, and we need to conserve our energy for the exam later."

However, I also enjoy watching kids rage in a fit of rage, only this time it's him and his teammates.

"Do you see these two bells?"

Kakashi shook the bell, and a clear tinkling sound rang out.

"Only two?"

"Yes, only those who get the bell can become my subordinates, while those who don't get it will have to go back to school for another year and continue to work hard."

Kakashi squinted.

"why is it like this!"

I stare wide-eyed every day.

This……

unacceptable!

She thought the test was just for the teacher to check her abilities, but it turned out to be a rule like this. Everyone worked so hard to graduate from school, but they had to go back just because they failed a test?

Chiba raised his eyes.

Snatching the bell is an old tradition of the Naruto faction.

Out of work to do?

He secretly complained to himself.

"Of course, your team is special. If Chiba is willing to sacrifice himself, then I will allow both of you to pass and only let Chiba return to school."

Kakashi stared at Chiba and shook the bell in his hand.

Although no words were spoken, the meaning was self-evident.

Don't say anything!

Chiba remained silent, watching Tenten and Tsukiko Kazusa.

The two clenched their fists.

After a few seconds, Tenka said angrily, "Don't underestimate me, you bastard! Even though I'm not strong, I won't sacrifice Chiba-kun even if we go back to school!"

"Yes."

Moonlight and Sasa nodded repeatedly, their eyes blazing with anger.

Kakashi adjusted his headband: "I'm sorry, you rejected the only chance to pass. Although you are very ambitious, I will not hold back. By the way, none of my teams have passed so far; they have all gone back to school to repeat their studies."

"Bring it on! We'll worry about the bell distribution and all that later, once we've got our hands on them!"

He said every day.

Kakashi pulled out his Icha Icha Paradise and said calmly, "I'll give you some time to prepare. It will officially begin when I turn the hourglass upside down. Friendly reminder: you'd better be prepared to kill me, or you'll regret it."

"Disperse!"

Chiba raised his hand and waved.

The next moment, the three of them disappeared from the spot and reunited in the distant forest.

"How to do?"

He looked at the two of them every day.

"Just like Kazusa said, we'll talk about who stays and who goes after we get it. Our opponent is the Copy Ninja Kakashi. Even if we hold back, the difference in strength between us is still huge, so we have to cooperate."

Chiba said simply.

"If we cooperate, at least we'll have someone to rely on. I'll listen to Chiba-kun."

Moonlight and Sasa looked at Chiba.

"Me too."

He clutched the bitter knife tightly every day.

It would be a lie to say they weren't nervous when their opponent was a Jonin. They didn't know Chiba's exact strength, but someone who could defeat the Third Hokage's clone who only used taijutsu must be much stronger than them.

"Okay, then I'll take the lead in attacking and provide support every day."

Chiba looked at Kazusa and said, "I know the least about you, but I've heard that your Moonlight family is skilled in assassination, so find an opportunity to make your move yourself."

"Yes!"

The moonlight and gauze nodded gently.

"But still be careful not to stray too far, lest you get isolated and get broken through first."

Tian Tian added.

"Okay, so should we set a trap now?"

"Our skill level is too low, so ordinary traps are meaningless. It mainly depends on the coordination of operations. We can make some tree spike traps for retreat cover."

Chiba explained each point one by one, and Tenten, Tsukiko, and Sa nodded repeatedly, feeling that what he said made perfect sense, and they immediately felt less flustered.

They arranged everything in an orderly manner.

Subsequently.

"I'll launch the first attack once Kakashi-sensei finds me."

"Yes!"

Before long, they had all hidden themselves.

At the same time, Kakashi turned the hourglass upside down and walked into the woods while holding the book.

Although their attention was diverted, a Jonin is still a Jonin, and dealing with a Genin wouldn't significantly affect their combat.

only……

Thinking of Chiba's skills, he couldn't help but become more wary.

That kid is not easy to deal with!

Thank you to '若雨红尘' and '吴人依' for the donations.

Chapter 23 Kakashi: Holding back doesn't seem to work!

"Teacher, why don't they make more traps?"

Maya asked, puzzled.

"Neji, what do you think?"

Kai looked at Neji.

He paid a huge price today mainly for Neji, so he wanted to hear Neji's thoughts.

"It can't be hidden."

Neji said calmly, "As Jonin, your insight is definitely superior to ours."

Xiao Li nodded slightly to the side, looking like he meant it.

Kai smiled and said, "That's right. Analyzing the situation of both sides and then formulating the most suitable plan is a quality that a ninja should have. But Neji, you only mentioned one aspect. Another reason is that they can't waste their energy."
