"I wonder what it's like to hit Kakashi-sensei's head." Uzumaki Naruto had a mischievous grin on his face.
Last night, he saw Yamato hit Kakashi's head with a blissful expression, so he wanted to try it too.
In the middle of crafting a battle plan, Kakashi suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Kakashi rubbed the back of his head, curiously glancing around, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
"Who's going first?" Mokgetsu asked, looking at Yamato and Uzumaki Naruto.
"I'm the captain, let me go first." Yamato immediately stepped forward, looking as if no one else could do it.
"It's not right to let the captain go first, let me do it." Uzumaki Naruto said, rubbing his hands eagerly.
Although the two were conversing with Mokgetsu, they would occasionally glance at Kakashi, which made Kakashi a bit puzzled as to why they were both focused on him.
Constantly under their gaze, Kakashi drew the White Fang Short Blade, using its snow-white blade to examine himself, but found nothing unusual.
"Since Yamato spoke first, let him go ahead." Mokgetsu thought for a moment and answered.
On the first day, Kakashi and the others had already experienced Uzumaki Naruto's formidable Chakra, so he thought it better to let Yamato, who possessed Wood Release, go first this time.
Yamato smiled slightly, stepping in front of Kakashi and the others, forming the Seal of Opposition.
Kakashi and his team nodded to each other and formed the Seal of Opposition together.
"Begin the battle!" Seeing both sides were ready, Mokgetsu shouted.
As soon as Mokgetsu finished speaking, Kakashi and Obito immediately focused their breathing to enhance their physical abilities.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu."
Obito swiftly formed seals, concentrating his Chakra in his throat, and then transformed it into Fire Attribute Chakra in one breath, spewing out a massive fireball towards Yamato.
Swoosh swoosh!!
Nohara Rin, in Breath of Water state, started running, throwing several shuriken at Yamato.
"Wood Release: Wood Block Wall!"
Calmly, Yamato formed seals on the spot, and under the influence of Wood Release Chakra, rows of wooden pillars rapidly grew from the ground, bending to form an arch, protecting Yamato within.
Boom!!
The massive fireball collided with the wooden arch, exploding violently as the flames spread out in all directions.
To Obito's surprise, his Great Fireball didn't manage to break the wooden arch.
Though the wooden arch bore severe scorch marks, it wasn't breached by the explosion of the Great Fireball, and Nohara Rin's shuriken were all blocked by Yamato's wooden arch.
"Wood Release wood is different from ordinary trees, don't be careless." Kakashi gripped the White Fang Short Blade tightly, reminding them.
Although Mokgetsu easily defeated Yamato, making Yamato's Wood Release seem insignificant in battle, that was fighting Mokgetsu. Kakashi wouldn't underestimate this bloodline limit that only appeared with the God of Ninjas.
Under normal circumstances, Kakashi would launch a swift assault using Breath of Thunder, under the cover of Obito's Great Fireball, but this time, facing a Wood Release Ninja he hadn't fought before, Kakashi chose to gather intelligence first.
"Wood Release: Thorn Killing Jutsu!"
Yamato's figure suddenly dashed from behind the wooden wall, forming seals rapidly as he ran.
Thorn-like wood emerged from the ground, reaching out to grab the three of them.
Seeing this, Obito focused his breathing again, entering Breath of Flame Chakra Mode, confident that his ultimate flame could burn through a few pieces of wood.
Considering it was training, going a bit overboard wasn't an issue. In a real battle, Obito wouldn't rush to use his trump card.
"Fire Release: Flame Fist!"
Obito concentrated a large amount of Chakra on his fist, and due to being in Breath of Flame Chakra Mode, the Chakra instantly transformed into raging flames.
The fire on Obito's fist fluctuated in intensity, not due to lack of control, but because he was compressing the flames on his fist.
As Obito compressed the flames to the extreme, the wooden strips created by Yamato's Wood Release were about to touch Obito's body.
Boom!!
Obito fiercely punched out with his blazing red flaming fist. The wooden rods approaching Obito broke instantly under the combined force and high temperature of the flame fist.
"What kind of ninjutsu is this? Wouldn't the flames hurt oneself?" Yamato couldn't quite understand Obito's Flame Fist.
According to general ninja theory, Fire Release Nin-Taijutsu is not ninja-like.
"One Flash!"
Bright lightning sparkled from Kakashi's feet and palms. With the support of Lightning Attribute Chakra rejuvenating his body and Breathing Technique, his physical abilities surged. One sprint, one slash, and he cut through all the wooden rods on his and Nohara Rin's side.
Thud! The cut wooden pieces fell powerlessly to the ground.
If Yamato found Obito's technique somewhat perplexing, Kakashi's exhibited ability left him astonishingly surprised.
"Is this how Kakashi-senpai used to battle?" Yamato was deeply puzzled.
In his impressions, Kakashi was an excellent jonin, well-rounded in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, using either his extensive ninjutsu repertoire to counter his opponent or relying on Lightning Release and Sharingan.
But the younger version of Kakashi excelled in Swordsmanship?
No kidding, Yamato had hardly seen Kakashi use a sword in battle before; it seemed odd to him.
"Does it have to do with the Sharingan?" Yamato speculated that the Sharingan might have changed Kakashi's fighting style.
"Fire Release: Impatiens Claw Red!"
Obito didn't give Yamato more time to think, sending flaming shuriken flying rapidly towards Yamato.
