"That stupid Naruto never learns his lesson, no matter how many lifetimes go by!"
Sasuke, hiding in the shadows, pounded his chest in frustration and sighed. Kakashi also looked at Naruto, rolling his eyes as if he were looking at a lunatic.
"Hey, is there something wrong with your head?"
"Ah, it's your hairstyle that's the problem, Kakashi-sensei!"
As he said that, Naruto took out a kunai from the strap of his shinobi leg protector, twirled it a few times, and held it in a reverse grip, looking eager to fight right away.
Kakashi sighed helplessly.
"One of the key aspects for a ninja is Taijutsu."
Naruto watched Kakashi warily. Was he going to fight him with Taijutsu? Well, what a coincidence. After years of arduous training, Taijutsu was actually his forte.
Just as he was looking smug, Kakashi reached into his backpack and took out *Make Out Paradise*.
What the...?
"What are you doing with that book during a fight, Kakashi-sensei?"
"Oh, don't worry about it. I don't need both hands to deal with you!"
In fact, Naruto was quite powerful. Kakashi had felt it during their previous encounters. But the problem with this kid was that he was too impulsive! He decided to use a bit of reverse psychology to see if the kid could still stay calm in this situation.
Sure enough, Naruto got impulsive. His attacks were completely chaotic, lacking the calmness he had shown before.
Once a ninja loses their cool, they can't win a battle that they could have otherwise.
None of Naruto's rapid attacks hit the vital spots. He was clearly flustered, and Kakashi could have taken him down with just a flick of his finger.
Seizing the right moment, Kakashi dashed behind Naruto in a flash. Naruto instinctively shivered.
"A ninja should never turn their back on the enemy, you big idiot!"
He formed the [Tora Seal] with his hands, which is the Tiger Seal, his eyes flashing with a cold light. He crouched down, using the strength in his legs to unleash the Konoha Taijutsu Ultimate Art - One Thousand Years of Death.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Naruto's face turned as white as a sheet. The powerful impact sent him flying into the nearby river.
These two complete idiots!
Sasuke covered his face in the forest, feeling extremely disappointed. He felt that all his years of hard - training had been for nothing. He had trained day and night, hoping that Naruto would soon be able to stand on his own. But the reality gave him a heavy blow, leaving him dazed.
The cold water in the river helped Naruto cool off his hot - headedness. So, Kakashi was an elite Jonin. No wonder he was so extraordinary. Compared to Kakashi, Mizuki was like dust on the ground while Kakashi was like a star in the sky.
He regretted his impulsive behavior just now.
Sasuke must have seen everything. He must be angry with him for being so reckless. He didn't even want to swim out of the river when he thought about the training Sasuke might have waiting for him when they got home.
No! It was not too late yet! He had to think carefully about how to turn the tables.
Kakashi-sensei had clearly held back during the attack. Otherwise, with his unfathomable strength, it would have been easy for him to defeat Naruto.
Then, while fighting Naruto with a book in hand, Kakashi might even have a bit of contempt in his heart. This was Naruto's glimmer of hope.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Naruto created six shadow clones underwater. Through telepathy, the clones immediately understood Naruto's plan.
Two clones served as the base underwater, and the other two stepped on them to form hand seals and concentrate their chakra.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Shot!"
By taking advantage of the unique natural advantage of the river water, using Water Release jutsu in the stream could double its power.
Two water dragons intertwined and merged into one, swallowing the remaining two clones. Then, as the river surface churned violently, Kakashi sensed that Naruto was using a powerful ninjutsu.
"How is this possible! He's just a Genin. How can he have so much chakra?"
The water dragon leaped out of the water, identified Kakashi standing below, and coiled its body to attack him.
Once the massive water dragon emerged from the water, it lost its agility. As Kakashi dodged, it was difficult for the water dragon to maintain its form and was on the verge of collapsing.
"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"
Two Narutos jumped out from the head of the water dragon and accelerated in succession, charging straight at Kakashi like a yellow cannonball.
The speed was so fast that Kakashi barely managed to dodge by sidestepping, but his copy of *Make Out Paradise* was shattered by the Gale Palm.
Kakashi looked at his beloved book in ruins and was heartbroken on the spot.
"Hey, Teacher Kakashi! Being too cocky will land you in hot water!"
"First the Shadow Clone Jutsu, then Water Release and Wind Release. You know quite a few ninjutsu!"
Not only did Naruto know many ninjutsu, but his chakra reserves were also far greater than the average person's, which allowed him to master these jutsu so proficiently.
"Well, it's because I have an excellent teacher who keeps pushing me day and night. I don't even dare to rest for a single second!"
Sasuke frowned slightly in the forest. Why did it seem like Naruto was subtly complaining about his strictness?
Maybe he was just overthinking it when he saw that innocent face!
"An excellent teacher, eh? Guess I gotta turn up the heat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto didn't even see Kakashi move, yet he suddenly appeared right in front of him! With a step forward and a swinging punch, perhaps driven by a bit of personal grudge, Kakashi aimed straight at Naruto's face.
He wanted to avenge his beloved book! No, he wanted to train his student properly!
Naruto didn't have time to dodge and could only defend with his arms. Still, he was sent flying dozens of meters away by the powerful blow. Kakashi didn't stop there. He leaped forward and landed several stabbing punches, leaving Naruto dazed and floating in mid - air.
So strong!
Kakashi's figure flashed again and appeared right in front of Naruto. He raised his foot high and aimed a heel kick at Naruto, but Naruto grabbed his ankle with both hands.
Those hands that clamped down on him were like two huge vice - grips, and Kakashi couldn't break free for a moment.
Naruto seized this opportunity. In mid - air, he clamped Kakashi's waist with his legs, flipped him upside down, and spun rapidly towards the ground.
"Thud!"
After a cloud of dust settled, Kakashi landed on the ground on his head, his legs splaying out limply like noodles.
Naruto gasped for breath and showed a victorious smile when he saw Kakashi in such a sorry state.
"Teacher Kakashi, I won!"
He looked at the bells beside Kakashi's body and was about to step forward to grab them when suddenly a rope tightly bound his ankle. With a violent tug, his body flew around as if he were a bungee - jumping person.
He was hanging upside down from a big tree, and all the blood in his body rushed to his head.
"What a super big idiot!"
