[Kakashi Hatake narrowed his eyes slightly.]
[Because he realized that Naruto had already come out.]
[He was no longer continuing to hide.]
[Sasuke had been defeated, and without Naruto's assistance, Sakura, whose head was muddled by shame and anger, would have fallen too.]
[Kakashi Hatake had also been looking forward to this.]
[He really wanted to experience for himself just how much Naruto, who could run Sandaime around in circles, had grown.]
[Naruto did not keep him waiting long.]
[While Kakashi Hatake was anticipating this, Naruto was equally expectant.]
[Kakashi Hatake was, after all, a student of the Fourth Hokage, and back during the Third Great Ninja War, he had already become famous at the tender age of thirteen.]
[Clearly, among Ninjas at the Jonin level, Kakashi Hatake was undoubtedly outstanding.]
[Being able to defeat him meant that Naruto had a certain level of self-preservation ability.]
[He could even directly cut off the head of the defenseless Hiruzen Sarutobi.]
[However.]
[For Naruto.]
[The things he had to do were not just about dealing with that Old Thing, Hiruzen Sarutobi.]
[Of course, it was not just one Konoha either.]
[It was the entire Ninja World.]
[He would either stay silent or shock everyone once he spoke.]
[If he couldn't help but make a move now, people from other villages would immediately know of his existence.]
[Right now, Naruto did not possess the strength to realize his ideals.]
[In his view, to achieve what he had in mind, he would at least need to reach the strength of the god of shinobi, First Hokage - Hashirama Senju, or the power of Uchiha Madara.]
[Otherwise, after solving the problems in Konoha, without any preparation, he could only watch helplessly as the Four Great Shinobi Villages joined forces to devour the battle-scarred Konoha.]
[Naruto did not want to see such a scene.]
[Such a scene would be just like the Land of Whirlpools back then.]
[Hoo—]
[Naruto took a deep breath.]
[Looking at Kakashi Hatake in front of him, he couldn't help but feel excited.]
[As a Jonin for many years, Kakashi Hatake naturally had extremely rich combat experience.]
[Naruto was naturally lacking in this regard.]
["Hmph, combat experience?"]
["Hurry up and find that Jiraiya, get the key to the sealing gate, and once you have unsealed This Fox, so-called combat experience will be a joke!"]
["Your trash father was called the yellow flash, right?"]
["Once the seal is broken, This Fox will immediately make you the yellow flash too!"]
Kurotsuchi: "Is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki this powerful?"
Iwagakure had the Four-Tails and Five-Tails.
These two Jinchuriki were not like other Jinchuriki who didn't get along with their Tailed Beasts.
Kurotsuchi had seen the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki make their moves many times.
That scene... was extremely spectacular!
Kurotsuchi had to admit she was inferior.
And, she had to admit, her old man's Dust Release was truly somewhat unsolvable.
Of course, if the start-up time wasn't so long...
["Is that so?"]
["Then I am very much looking forward to it~"]
["Alright, Great Fox, I need to focus on the battle."]
[Naruto's voice rang out within the Sealing Space.]
[The Great Fox rolled its eyes.]
[It curled its lip and said: "Now you even think it's a waste of time to humor This Fox, right?"]
[Poof—]
[The white smoke dissipated.]
[Two Shadow Clones appeared beside Naruto.]
[Seeing this, Kakashi Hatake silently put the icha icha paradise into his ninja tool pouch.]
[Clearly, Kakashi Hatake had to be cautious too.]
[Whoosh—]
[The one who initiated the attack was not the Shadow Clone, but Naruto's main body.]
[Naruto's hands quickly formed seals.]
[Kakashi Hatake narrowed his eyes slightly, 'Fire Release seals.']
['Naruto can't possibly not know that Fire Release cannot hurt me.']
['Then, he clearly has a battle plan.']
['Let's first watch this kid's movements.']
[At the same time that Naruto's main body was forming seals.]
[The Shadow Clone beside Naruto moved.]
[He silently took out a shuriken.]
[Kakashi Hatake's pupils constricted slightly.]
['Minato Namikaze... the three-pronged kunai?']
['He must already know.']
[Kakashi Hatake secretly steadied his mind.]
[He was no longer acting lackadaisical.]
[Swish—]
[The three-pronged kunai was thrown from his hand.]
[At the same time, Naruto's main body kept his hands in the sealing posture and took a deep breath.]
[Seeing this, Kakashi Hatake frowned slightly.]
['It shouldn't be like this... It's too reckless.']
['Could it be that he still thinks I will definitely engage him in a head-on battle?']
[Sasuke, who only had his head exposed to the air, saw this and closed his eyes.]
['It seems I still overestimated him; he is, after all, at the age of playing Ninja house.']
[Only Sakura, who was sneaking over to rescue Sasuke, had absolute trust in Naruto.]
['He is still lacking combat experience after all, but this momentum is moving.']
[Kakashi Hatake silently formed a seal with his hand behind his back.]
[Whoosh—!!!]
[Just then.]
[The single three-pronged kunai that was originally in front of Kakashi Hatake.]
[Suddenly split into countless Shadow Clones.]
["Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu?!"]
[Kakashi Hatake was stunned.]
[This technique is not that easy!]
[However, if he thinks he can defeat me and snatch the bells like this, he is still a bit naive.]
[Hiss—]
[Kakashi Hatake's thought had just finished when he was dumbfounded.]
[shuriken Shadow Clone...]
[I'm afraid it's the shuriken Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, right?!]
[In an instant, an impenetrable wall of three-pronged kunai appeared in front of Kakashi Hatake.]
[Kakashi Hatake's eye twitched uncontrollably.]
['Definitely!']
['Definitely the bloodline of Sister Kushina!!']
[Kakashi Hatake, who had originally intended to use Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall (dog-head wall) to join in the fun, changed his strategy.]
[With a few Body Flicker techniques, he disappeared from the spot.]
Sasuke: "..."
Is this going to kill me too?
[Bang, bang, bang—]
[Sasuke was overthinking it.]
[Naruto's Shadow Clone immediately formed a seal.]
[In an instant.]
[Bursts of explosions rang out, and billows of white smoke rose up.]
[The line of sight within Training Ground Seven was briefly blocked.]
[Kakashi Hatake's movements were all within Naruto's expectations.]
[Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu is not cost-effective for dealing with a single Ninja.]
[However, this is for ordinary Ninjas.]
[For a Chakra rich-kid like Naruto, there is no such thing as cost-effectiveness in his eyes.]
[The other Shadow Clone beside him had long been prepared.]
[He threw a few three-pronged kunai toward the locations where Chakra fluctuations appeared.]
[Hum—]
[The moment Kakashi Hatake's figure appeared on the tree trunk.]
[A three-pronged kunai shooting over at high speed appeared in front of him.]
[Clang—]
[A Kunai appeared in Kakashi Hatake's hand, blocking the three-pronged kunai that had shot over.]
['Very strong sensory ability!']
[Kakashi Hatake's thought had just finished.]
[Suddenly, the hair all over his body stood on end.]
['Minato Namikaze... teacher?!']
[Kakashi Hatake turned his head abruptly to look.]
[He saw that Naruto had appeared behind him at some point.]
[The speed was so fast that he couldn't react at all.]
[At the same time... this movement...]
[Tiger Seal.]
[No way?!]
