Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

Currently, the only ninja capable of opening the Eighth Gate, the Gate of Death, is Guy's father, Dai.

Kai once heard Dai say that opening the Gate of Death would increase chakra by at least several dozen times compared to the Seventh Gate, a power that was probably beyond human control.

Kakashi calmed himself down, then grasped the paper roll and, with a slight exertion, the entire roll turned to dust.

Once you let go, it will drift away with the wind.

[Chapter 249. Chapter 242 The Epic Enhancement of the Konoha Collapse Plan (Part 3)]

Kakashi strolled leisurely to the Ninja Academy. When he pushed open the door to the classroom where the information session was being held, he found it empty except for Naruto, Sasuke, and Karin.

"Teacher, you're way too slow!"

Karin felt as if she had been granted a pardon upon seeing Kakashi and ran to the classroom door.

Just now, as the instructor ninjas took away their students one by one, only the three of them remained in the classroom. Naruto and Sasuke had cold faces the whole time and spoke in a monologue style, making her extremely embarrassed. Fortunately, Kakashi finally arrived.

"Sorry, I encountered a black cat blocking my way on the road, so I'm late."

Kakashi explained with a squinting smile.

However, even Karin was speechless; what a lame excuse.

Sasuke and Naruto continued to stare at each other, essentially ignoring Kakashi.

Kakashi glanced at the three of them and sighed inwardly, thinking that the next few months would probably be difficult to get along with.

In retrospect, it's probably because the Uchiha clan, under the leadership of Fugaku and Itachi, has completely compromised with the Third Hokage in recent years, and has finally regained the Third Hokage's trust and favor.

After the Uchiha incident, the Third Hokage's reputation was damaged, and even the Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans, who had always been staunch supporters of the Hokage lineage, no longer supported him as strongly as before.

So the main reason is that the Third Hokage doesn't have many capable people now, which is why he is making good use of the Uchiha clan again.

As for Kakashi, he was suspected by the Third Hokage in some previous incidents, but he has been very well-behaved in recent years.

He was both a disciple of the Fourth Hokage and a good friend of Itachi. It is estimated that the Third Hokage made him serve as the Jonin instructor for Naruto, Sasuke, and Karin for this reason.

"Come on, follow me." Kakashi gestured for the three of them to follow.

The three followed Kakashi to the training ground closest to the Ninja Academy.

"Let's start with a self-introduction, like what you like, what you dislike, and your future dreams." Kakashi stood in the open space in the center of the training ground and continued, "I'll start with myself. My name is Hatake Kakashi. I don't want to tell you what I like or dislike. I hope my dream will come true soon. As for my interests, I have many, but I won't go into detail."

"Doesn't that mean you haven't said anything at all?" Karin complained. "My turn. My name is Namikaze Karin. I like yakitori and pork cutlet rice, I hate dumplings, and my motto is 'A woman's belief can penetrate rock.'"

As for my dream... I want to become the strongest female ninja in the ninja world. My interest is mature, gentle, and handsome men, preferably like my father.

Although Minato Namikaze was already seriously injured and unconscious before Karin was born, she learned a lot about Minato from Uzumaki Shiki, so her impression of Minato was that of a perfect man.

Karin initially had a good impression of Sasuke, but after seeing Sasuke and Naruto arguing, she felt that they were both childish and lost interest.

"Alright, next one." Kakashi nodded and looked at Naruto and Sasuke.

"I'll do it!" Naruto, unlike Sasuke, couldn't hold back any longer and volunteered, "My name is Namikaze Naruto. I love ramen, and my mom's cooking. I also like—"

Naruto paused, glanced at Sasuke beside him, and then continued, "You annoying guy! Your hobby is getting stronger. My dream is to become a great Hokage like the Third Hokage and my father, to gain everyone's recognition, and to make some people look at me with new eyes."

'It seems Naruto and Karin's growth is progressing normally,' Kakashi thought to himself.

Since the Fourth Hokage went into a coma, Naruto and Karin's upbringing has been primarily taken care of by the Third Hokage.

In retrospect, the three generations have taken decent care of them, except...

At this moment, Sasuke, seeing Naruto staring blankly at him, glared at him, then glanced at Kakashi and said in a low voice:

"I have nothing I like, and nothing I dislike. My dream is to revive my clan and make those traitors pay the price!"

'It seems the Uchiha incident has greatly affected Sasuke. No wonder Itachi asked me to take good care of him.' Kakashi thought to himself. Sasuke seems to be the stubborn type, not easy to handle, especially since Naruto seems to have quite a conflict with him. This group might not be easy to manage.

Kakashi said seriously, "Alright, that concludes the self-introductions. Next, I need to test your strength and teamwork to see if you are qualified to become genin."

"Kakashi, I want to see if you are as strong as Itachi said, and whether you are qualified to be my teacher."

Sasuke stood up, staring intently at Kakashi. He often heard Itachi mention Kakashi, praising him highly. Since he wanted to revitalize the clan, he naturally had to become strong, not only surpassing his brother Itachi but also everyone else. Naturally, he couldn't train with a weakling.

While Itachi and Fugaku were busy, Sasuke would train with the Jonin of his clan. Although he was no match for the Jonin, he was able to hold his own against them before being defeated thanks to his Sharingan with two tomoe. So he wanted to see just how strong Kakashi really was.

"Provocation won't work on me." Kakashi chuckled, then his eyes suddenly turned serious. "But don't worry, I probably won't hold back."

"I won't lose to Sasuke either!" Naruto, standing up excitedly, also exclaimed.

Karin's lips twitched as she looked at the two innocent victims in front of her.

Kakashi is one of the strongest ninjas of this generation in Konoha. The only one stronger than him is Nawaki, who has awakened Wood Release. Why do these two have to provoke Kakashi? They'll only drag her down with them later.

At this moment, Kakashi took two steps back, then took out two bells from his pocket, held them in his hand and shook them gently a couple of times. "If you can snatch the bells from my hand, you will pass the test."

"Only two bells?" Karin asked.

“Yes, that means that anyone who doesn’t manage to grab the bell is disqualified and will lose their qualification to become a ninja, having to return to the Ninja Academy,” Kakashi explained, then added, “This is a tradition of Team 7.”

"This is a scheme to make us fight amongst ourselves, isn't it?"

Karin couldn't help but complain.

“It doesn’t matter if the strategy is old or not, what matters is that it works. Those who don’t meet the requirements will really be sent back to the Ninja Academy, and that’s no joke,” Kakashi confirmed, turning his gaze to Naruto and Sasuke.

Karin saw that Naruto and Sasuke both had stubborn and unyielding expressions on their faces, and she understood what Kakashi meant.

"You have ten minutes to prepare and discuss the battle plan."

As he spoke, Kakashi reached into the ninja tool pouch behind him.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Karin immediately retreated, because all's fair in war, and no one knew whether Kakashi was just pretending to give them time to prepare before launching a sneak attack. He hadn't even said when the assessment would start.

The three of them were taken aback when Kakashi pulled out a book with a red cover and little figures drawn on it from behind his back.

"Teacher, don't you need to prepare?" Karin asked subconsciously.

Kakashi stood there lazily, his eyes fixed intently on the 'Icha Icha Paradise Collector's Edition' in his hand, and casually said, "I don't need it, you guys get ready."

Because Rin forbade him from reading these 'random' things, Kakashi really gave up reading Jiraiya's books for a long time. However, he would still take them out and glance at them occasionally when he had free time. He had bought this new collector's edition a month ago, but he still hadn't finished reading it.

The three of them went into the nearby woods, and Karin whispered, "What should we do? Should we coordinate? You've all heard about Kakashi-sensei's strength. We'd better come up with a battle plan, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if we all failed!"

"I have no problem with it." Naruto would naturally give his sister face, but as he said this, his gaze remained fixed on Sasuke.

"Hmph, it's just a temporary cooperation." Sasuke snorted. Although he was arrogant, he knew that with Naruto and Karin's strength, they would never hold him back, so he didn't refuse.

“Of course it’s temporary.” Naruto wasn’t to be outdone: “Let’s defeat Kakashi-sensei first and snatch the bell from him.”

When Naruto said this, Sasuke and Karin were both stunned and stared at him.

"What's wrong with me? Why are you looking at me like that?" Naruto asked, confused.

Karin: "It's nothing, let's quickly discuss the battle plan."

Sasuke: "Hmm."

The two of them simply ignored Naruto.

At this moment, Kakashi was focusing most of his energy on Icha Icha Paradise, but he was still paying attention to the movements of the three. He was somewhat surprised to see that they did not have any disagreements and were actually preparing to cooperate.

"It seems I'll have to wait until next time."

Kakashi was somewhat helpless; the strength of the three of them had already surpassed that of an average Chunin.

Although Karin is the weakest, she is very intelligent and calm.

Sasuke, under Itachi's careful guidance, became very proficient in using the Sharingan. It was only because his body had not fully matured that his chakra reserves were somewhat lower than those of a typical Jonin; otherwise, his overall strength would not have been much weaker than that of a Jonin.

As for Naruto, after being trained by the Third Hokage and with the Nine-Tails' chakra sealed within him, no one knows how strong he would be if he unleashed his full power.

Appointing him as a Jonin instructor might not be without the intention of using the Sharingan to keep an eye on Naruto.

After all, Kakashi is the ninja who, apart from a few Uchiha, is the most proficient in using the Sharingan, surpassing many Jonin of the Uchiha clan.

"Kakashi-sensei, let's have a showdown!"

Just as Kakashi was pondering this, Naruto suddenly appeared not far in front of him, looking like he was about to attack from the front.

"Accept!"

Naruto took out four shuriken and threw them at Kakashi.

Whoosh whoosh!

Kakashi stood still, took out two kunai and threw them, hitting the shuriken that had thrown Naruto in mid-air and causing it to deflect.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

The four shuriken changed direction at the same time and flew past Kakashi's side.

Upon closer inspection, Kakashi's feet were still standing in the same spot. This was the Uchiha-style ninja tool throwing technique he learned from Itachi, but it could only be learned after activating the Sharingan, and only after mastering it could this technique be used without activating the Sharingan.

"Behold my Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

Naruto shouted and simultaneously formed hand seals with both hands.

Kakashi's pupils contracted. The Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique was an extremely difficult A-rank ninjutsu created by the Third Hokage, inspired by the Shadow Clone Technique developed by the Second Hokage. Kakashi had seen the Fourth Hokage use it in battle before, and its power was astonishing.

The Fourth Hokage once split a single shuriken into tens of thousands of shuriken shadow clones, a technique combining ninja tools and ninjutsu.

Creating shadow clones of this substance is more difficult than creating ordinary shadow clones. No prior preparation is required, and each shadow clone is a physical entity, so each shuriken possesses extremely high lethality.

"Naruto has even mastered this level of ninjutsu..." Kakashi finally became serious.

However, the next second, Naruto created more than thirty shadow clones and then threw four shuriken at the same time.

Hundreds of shuriken were simultaneously launched at Kakashi.

Whoosh whoosh!

"So that's how it is..." Kakashi was stunned for a moment, somewhat amused and exasperated. Without slowing down, he formed hand seals and slammed his hands onto the ground.

'Tudun·Tu Liubi! '

A massive earthen wall rose from the ground, blocking Kakashi's path, with a dog's head clearly visible on it.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

A series of crisp sounds rang out, and all the kunai were blocked by the earthen wall.

"Kakashi-sensei, don't even think about running away!"
