Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 23 is not qualified! (Please read it~Please vote~)

There is not much difference between the two of them in terms of physical skills.

Naruto's body was not mature enough, and his height, wingspan, strength, and basic speed were all suppressed by Kakashi.

But he had a knife.

Unlike the short-sword-style ninja sword that compromises for the sake of "concealment" and "mobility", this is a longer katana.

Every inch is stronger.

Make up for all physical weaknesses.

Kakashi realized this.

Naruto's taijutsu ability is very strong!
No wonder Shuimu is no match.
If his body grows a few more years and reaches the strength of an adult, even if he doesn't know ninjutsu, he will be able to become a special jonin, and maybe even a jonin similar to that guy "Might Guy".

You can't defeat him with physical skills alone.

This won't work.
The kunai and the blade rubbed against each other with a sharp and piercing sound.

The kunai, which had already been overwhelmed by the weight, broke after a few slashes, and Naruto chopped it off without mercy.

Kakashi didn't seem to expect the "kunai quality" issue, and held his chest high to take the blow.

In the woods, Haruno Sakura couldn't help but scream.

Uchiha Sasuke's eyes widened.

Defeating the jonin head-on?

Naruto frowned, he had slashed many Hollows and also slashed many people in sparring matches.

The feel is wrong, too dull.

It is a combination of "clone technique" and "substitute technique"!

The spiritual veins spread out before his eyes, with four strands representing Kakashi.

In front of you, below you, on the left, on the right.
Unlike the clones used by Uchiha Sasuke at the beginning, the aura of these four clones is exactly the same, and they have exactly the same spiritual veins.

It is the technique of shadow clones, and each clone is as real as the real thing.

That being the case.

Naruto jumped up, formed hand seals and performed a technique, and two shadow clones appeared.

One on the left, one on the right, fighting against Kakashi's clones on both sides.

The main body holds the knife tightly with both hands, with the tip of the blade pointing downward, and uses the momentum of the falling body to stab hard.

The breath underground had to drill back and struggle out of the soil.

The two clones on the left and right naturally dispersed without waiting for Naruto to attack, saving the use of chakra.

Kakashi, who had just emerged, shook off the dust on his head and stared at Naruto in surprise.

Is this the Uzumaki clan’s perception talent?

He realized instantly that even his own shadow clones had no disruptive effect.

And the two clones that Naruto just released.
It's not an ordinary "clone", but an A-level ninjutsu "Multiple Shadow Clones".

The level of ninjutsu does not refer to "power", but to the learning conditions and difficulty of learning. The higher the ninjutsu in this regard, the higher the level - of course, usually, the more difficult the ninjutsu is to learn, the greater the power will be.

When did Naruto get that jutsu?
Two nights ago.

We were still dividing the classes at the ninja school during the day yesterday.

In other words, it only takes two nights at most to learn a technique with difficulty level "A".

He looked at Naruto.

This is the first time in all these years that I have observed him so carefully.

Did he inherit his teacher's hair and eye color, and his teacher's wife's facial features and eye shape, but in terms of talent, he greedily absorbed all the advantages of both of them?

"You're too strong to look like you just graduated from the ninja school, Naruto." Kakashi said softly.

Naruto raised his sword and grinned, "Kakashi-sensei, I told you I would give you a surprise."

Kakashi raised his hands and clasped them in front of his chest.

"But ninja fighting is more than just physical skills."

He leaped lightly onto the water surface and stood without sinking.

No attack was launched.

He also remembered his mission objective, "guard the bell", rather than taking the initiative to attack.

Naruto glanced at his feet before rushing out.

It turns out that Chakra also has this technique?
There was a sound of water splashing.

Naruto stepped heavily with his feet in succession, creating knee-high splashes of water, but then the splashes became smaller, and after four or five steps he was able to stand on the water silently and walk on the ground like Kakashi.

The two clones also followed.

Kakashi's eyes narrowed.

Have you learned this?
The ability to control chakra is so strong?

Right
In essence, it is not much different from the "instant body technique" he used before.

The blade slashed.

Kakashi responded hastily, twisting his hand and trying to make a simple seal.

My body suddenly felt numb.

Thin golden electric lights flashed across the blade.

"The eleventh of the broken path, with thunder and lightning." He released it without chanting, so the power was not that great.

The damage to the body is minor and the paralysis is fleeting.

But what we need is this moment of racing against time——

A shadow clone took off a bell hanging on Kakashi's waist.

With a clang, it drew an arc and was thrown into Naruto's hands.

"Lightning Release?" Kakashi flicked his wrist, "The school doesn't teach this kind of ninjutsu."

The power is not very great and no seals are seen.

Channeling chakra through weapons.
"That doesn't mean I can't use it." Naruto smiled and shook the bell, not intending to explain.

Kakashi lowered his head and did not ask further questions: "I thought you would take them all."

"It only takes one for each person," Naruto replied.

He waved his hand, the clones dispersed, he stomped the water hard, and jumped back to the shore.

Obviously he doesn't intend to continue participating.

Kakashi shook his head, walked back ashore, and looked at Naruto with a complicated expression.

His back looks exactly like his twelve-year-old self.

He is confident of his bravery and insists on doing things his own way.

Naruto was very happy.

My "brother" will definitely be very happy if I show my excellent side to my "father's disciple".

The two of them posed no threat to Kakashi.

Sasuke was the best among the graduates. He could perform a fire-style ninjutsu and even almost touched the bell, but he was still buried in the ground by Kakashi out of spite.

Sakura was hung on a tree.

They sat down by the wooden stake until the alarm went off.

Except for Naruto who had already got the bell, the remaining two were inevitably a little nervous.

Hatake Kakashi was silent.

After a moment, he spoke amid the increasingly anxious looks of Haruno Sakura and Sasuke: "Naruto, I have to admit that you performed very well today."

"Both in terms of ability and tactics, they are above par."

Naruto was stunned.

The tone didn't sound happy.

Is the next turning point coming?

Sure enough, the "but" came.

"But why don't you continue to participate in the mission?" Kakashi asked him with a hint of "questioning".

Naruto raised the bell, "I have completed the mission objective."

"But your companions have not yet completed the mission." Kakashi said bluntly, "With your help, your teammates will also have a chance to get the bell."

Naruto's burning "joy" since the morning was poured with a bucket of cold water: "Why should I help them?"

"And who are you helping?"

"There are only two bells for three people."

Kakashi shook his head, his tone cold: "I designed it this way on purpose."

"I just hope to select ninjas who can ignore their own interests and prioritize teamwork under such circumstances."

He paused.

"Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke, two people fighting alone."

"Uzumaki Naruto, you have enough ability, but you just sit there and do nothing."

"The individual strength of a ninja is important, but the 'team' is even more important."

"Especially you, Uzumaki Naruto, you could have made this team better."

"My evaluation is that it is unqualified."

Naruto's expression turned completely cold: "Teacher Hatake, you set up a difficult problem for individual competition, but ask the people in the difficult problem to think about cooperation. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"In the mission you set and told me, if I help one person, the other person will be eliminated."

"Instead of thinking about the rationality of your mission, you blame me for not doing better?"

"And there is something to correct."

He dropped the bell and it rolled to Kakashi's feet with a clang.

"Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke and I are not a team yet."

"We were just assigned together by Iruka-sensei after graduation."

"In fact, Haruno Sakura doesn't want to have a teammate like me."

The pink-haired girl's heart skipped a beat and she lowered her head, but she did not deny it.

"Uchiha Sasuke didn't consider me a teammate either."

Uchiha Sasuke had a grim expression.

Naruto stood up, looked Kakashi in the eye, and spoke with force and force: "They don't accept me, but they ask me to accept them?"
