Because the opponent was not simple, Kakashi concentrated his breath to the extreme to enhance his abilities, then drew the White Fang Short Blade and slashed towards Uzumaki Naruto.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Seeing both of them making a move, Naruto began as well, directly using the massive Chakra in his body to instantly create over eighty Shadow Clones.
Boom boom boom!!
One after another, clouds of white smoke flashed, and Kakashi and Obito were instantly surrounded by numerous Shadow Clones.
At first, Kakashi thought these were just illusions to confuse them, but upon engagement, he realized they were all solid clones.
"What terrifying Chakra!" Kakashi's expression became serious. Naruto, having split into so many Shadow Clones at once, remained unperturbed.
Kakashi pushed aside all distractions and focused entirely on the battle, fighting against Naruto's incoming Shadow Clones.
Obito, on the side, was also shocked by Naruto's overwhelming clone tactic; it was the first time he had seen someone use Shadow Clones in this way.
Generally, ninjas use Shadow Clones for gathering intelligence, and even when used in combat, they are usually employed flexibly; rarely does anyone rely purely on Shadow Clones.
Nohara Rin watched this scene with a slight gape, not expecting a ninja they met on the road to possess such power.
"Orochinagi!"
Obito focused his breath, then condensed a large amount of Chakra in his palm, transforming it all into Fire Attribute Chakra with the aid of Breath of Flame, and let it burst out in one breath.
Whoosh whoosh!!!
The fierce flames instantly engulfed more than half of Naruto's Shadow Clones around him, leaving charred marks on the ground.
"Quick Slash: Double Strike!"
Blue lightning appeared on Kakashi's feet, and under the activation of Lightning Attribute Chakra, he ran at high speed, swinging his blade, also clearing a large number of Naruto's Shadow Clones.
Their performance slightly surprised Uzumaki Naruto. Although he wasn't keen on getting involved, just being able to quickly eliminate so many of his Shadow Clones was quite an accomplishment, considering Obito and the others looked to be about the same age as Konohamaru.
"Quite capable, huh." Naruto twisted his wrist, showing a mischievous grin on his face.
Although Naruto liked Kakashi as a teacher, Kakashi wasn't short of his own misdeeds.
"Blame your father for this." Naruto murmured, instantly bursting his Chakra again to create over a hundred more clones before charging forward himself.
Seeing Naruto split into another heap of Shadow Clones, beads of sweat appeared on Kakashi's forehead. He realized that the three of them might not be able to defeat Uzumaki Naruto.
"We need to make a bigger noise so that Teacher Mokgetsu knows about the situation here." Kakashi quickly pondered a strategy.
They had Mokgetsu's Flying Thunder God Kunai on them; if Mokgetsu knew something was wrong, he could come immediately. Although Uzumaki Naruto seemed powerful, Kakashi did not believe he could defeat Mokgetsu.
Because Uzumaki Naruto's display was too extravagant, Kakashi instantly entered the state of Transparent World, making everything around him transparent in his eyes, greatly increasing his strength and insight.
Though Kakashi could know where the attacks were coming from, Naruto's Shadow Clones were too numerous, and their strength was not weak, plus Naruto's main body causing trouble, soon Kakashi took a punch to the face.
Nohara Rin wanted to use Water Release to help Kakashi out of trouble, but Naruto interrupted her Water Release with a Rasengan.
Seeing Kakashi in a disadvantageous position, Obito could no longer care about the consumption and directly entered Breath of Flame Chakra Mode.
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bomb!"
Orochinagi was powerful, but its range was limited, so Obito opted for the wider Fire Dragon Flame Bomb.
With Chakra continuously depleting from Obito's body, intense orange-red flames were expelled from his mouth, rapidly forming a small sea of fire, burning numerous Naruto Shadow Clones to ashes.
Then, Obito directed the orange-red flames to attack all the Uzumaki Narutos from three different directions.
Because they were solid clones, even with his Sharingan, he could not see through the clones to find Naruto's original body.
Kakashi let out a breath of relief. Compared to his Lightning Release, Obito's Fire Release was more impressive and attention-grabbing. Such fierce flames, if maintained for a little while, were enough to draw attention.
"Water Release: Water Wave Hand!"
But just then, someone suddenly unleashed a Water Release, and the torrent of water, as fierce as the sea, surged in, instantly extinguishing the flames spewed by Obito.
Kakashi, who had just relaxed, grew serious again; it turned out the enemy was not alone but had accomplices.
Looking over, Kakashi saw a ninja slowly approaching them, wearing a black combat uniform and a Konoha Chunin waistcoat, with a Konoha headband on.
Kakashi felt they might have unknowingly stumbled into a massive conspiracy against Konoha.
