Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

"Disperse!"

Kakashi raised his hand, and the instant it fell, he gave the order.

[Whoosh—]

In an instant.

The three disappeared from the spot.

Kakashi, however, stood motionless.

[He even pulled out that book, "Little Imperial Uncle," from his ninja tool pouch.]

There was no cover around them; they were just standing there openly.

This undoubtedly further agitated Sasuke's nerves.

When you are weak, your anger may even seem somewhat endearing to the strong.

【"good."】

"As ninjas, concealing your presence and aura is the most basic thing. It seems you weren't just wasting your time at the ninja academy."

Kakashi kept his eyes straight ahead.

[“It seems they took my words to heart and have already surveyed the terrain?”]

Kakashi glanced out of the corner of his eye at the direction where the three were hiding.

[The three of them split up to avoid being discovered, and then the others would also move from hiding to being in the open.]

And at this moment.

All three were hiding in the locations they had agreed upon beforehand.

They then communicated via steel wire.

In reality, the curriculum at the ninja academy covers a wide range of topics. If you study diligently and learn everything, you can indeed become a qualified ninja.

[For example, right now, the three of them are using wartime communication methods taught at the ninja academy.]

[Similar to Morse code.]

Alternatively, one could read lips directly.

【Do you all know your missions now?】

【"Uh... okay, I'll do as you say."】

【"Hmph! Don't drag me down!"】

These words immediately made the veins on Sakura's forehead bulge.

[“Why has this guy become so annoying?”]

Sasuke, of course, wouldn't care about her thoughts.

He took a deep breath and began to compose himself.

Kakashi has provoked us time and time again, so we must make him pay the price!

[Whoosh—]

[The plan begins.]

Sakura took a deep breath and then took out several kunai from her ninja tool pouch.

After aiming carefully, throw the kunai.

Sakura trusts Naruto more than Sasuke.

[Since Naruto showed no intention of intervening at the moment, she didn't say anything more, also wanting to show off her abilities as much as possible.]

[Whoosh whoosh whoosh—]

Kakashi devoted part of his attention to reading, but the majority of his focus remained on the movements of the three.

【"oh?"】

"Didn't you make a direct move?"

[It seems like they're giving Sasuke and Sakura a chance to shine.]

"Alright... I'm also looking forward to personally testing your growth."

[Faced with kunai seemingly attacking from all directions.]

Kakashi nodded secretly.

[He glanced at the spot where Sakura had been standing.]

[Their attack objective is too obvious; it's highly likely a feint.]

"But after revealing their position, they quickly retreated, constantly launching attacks from all sides to disrupt my senses... Very good."

[“This tactic was probably devised by Sasuke.”]

[No surprises.]

These shuriken and kunai can't hurt Kakashi.

He didn't even need to look up; he easily dodged all the attacks.

Seeing this, Sasuke, who had been hiding in the shadows, narrowed his eyes slightly.

[With Naruto and Sakura feigning an attack, he seizes the opportunity and delivers a fatal blow!]

Kakashi immediately noticed the intense emotional fluctuation.

Kakashi shook his head. If things continued like this, Sasuke would never be able to surpass that man.

Kakashi's impression of Itachi Uchiha was undeniably profound.

However.

Just as Kakashi leaped up to dodge Naruto's kunai attack.

[A sudden change occurred.]

[Boom! B ...

Kakashi: "..."

【You really didn't hold back at all?】

[He glanced in the direction Naruto was.]

"You timed it perfectly."

The smoke and dust kicked up by the detonation tags dissipated.

Kakashi remained standing in the same spot.

He was still holding that book, "The Little Imperial Uncle," in his hands.

[Whoosh whoosh whoosh—]

Just then, three kunai, each strapped with an explosive tag, attacked from three directions.

Kakashi leaped up and dodged.

[Boom!]

[The detonation tag explodes.]

Just then, several shuriken shot towards the direction Kakashi was about to fall.

【at the same time.】

Sakura rushed out.

Naruto followed closely behind, appearing from another direction.

Sasuke also rushed out, his hands quickly forming hand seals.

【Om—】

【Um?!】

Kakashi was taken aback.

[Sasuke's seal isn't this one.]

[Illusion?]

When?

Kakashi's senses failed him at that moment, and his chakra experienced a brief disruption.

【Naruto? Or Sakura?】

[It happened in the blink of an eye.]

[When Kakashi regains his senses.]

Naruto fired another kunai with an explosive tag attached.

The target was aimed directly at his face.

However, Kakashi is not that useless.

[It's confirmed, it's definitely Sasuke's plan.]

He chuckled inwardly, increasingly finding Sasuke to be a reflection of his younger self.

[Click—]

Without warning, Kakashi's figure froze in mid-air.

【Om—】

In the sunlight, several steel wires reflected the sunlight.

【Now is the time!】

[Printed!]

Sasuke bit down hard on the wire.

【Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!】

【boom--】

In an instant, the originally slow fire escaping technique, mediated by the steel wire, increased in speed dramatically.

The flames shot straight up the steel wire like a fire dragon.

[Kakashi, entangled in steel wire, now faces not only Sasuke's Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique, but also the impending explosion of the detonating tags.]

[Not far away, Sakura looked serious, and her delicate little hands were now covered in black gloves.]

She ran quickly towards Kakashi.

[Boom!]

【boom--!!】

[The moment the detonation tag exploded.]

[Among C-rank ninjutsu, the Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique, in terms of both speed and power, has arrived at this moment.]

"We did it!"

Sasuke's lips curled slightly.

[Jonin?]

That's all there is to it!

【Bang--】

However, at that very moment...

A loud explosion rang out from the center of the two powerful attacks.

"Good tactics, simple and effective."

"But you seem to be underestimating the difficulty of becoming a Jonin."

Sasuke's pupils constricted sharply, and he froze on the spot.

【at the same time.】

Naruto and Sakura have disappeared.

This action... clearly indicates that an unexpected event was anticipated.

But Sasuke had no time to think about it.

The noise behind him made him realize how naive he had been.

On the battlefield, the enemy won't waste words with you.

[In the short time it took Kakashi to speak, his head was already on the ground.]

【hateful!!!】

However, just as Sasuke was unwilling to accept this, believing that Kakashi was only good at hiding,

Kakashi's voice came from behind again.

At the same time, an extremely strong sense of unease welled up in my heart.

Sasuke's immediate thought wasn't to retaliate, but to run away.

["Ninja Battle Tips, Part 1: Taijutsu."]

"Let me teach you... A ninja should not expose their back to the enemy, nor should they be overconfident, thinking of a one-hit kill. That is often the culprit behind defeat and death."

Seeing this, Sakura, who was hiding in the shadows, suddenly narrowed her eyes.

【That mark...】

Naruto frowned, sensing that something about the seal was off.

"Tiger Mark as starter? As finisher?"

Although Naruto didn't know what Kakashi was up to, his intuition told him that Sasuke was going to pay a heavy price.

[A blinding light suddenly flashed in Kakashi's eyes, and his expression revealed barely concealed excitement.]
