Chapter XII Adoption

When it was dawn, Naruto yawned and came to the designated training ground to assemble according to the rules of the exercise designated by Kakashi yesterday afternoon.

Because he was an early riser, Naruto was still a little sleepy, and the collar in front of him was not tidied up.

When he came here, someone had already come here in advance.

"Good morning, Sakura-chan."

Naruto rubbed his sleepy eyes as he greeted the long-haired cherry girl who was standing not far away.

"Good morning."

Sakura also greeted Naruto.

As for Sasuke, who was standing on the other side, meditating and resting under the tree, he was automatically ignored by Naruto.

He also chose a seat to sit down.

All three of them were in no mood to speak because they had gotten up early, and they were a little nervous because of the battle they were going to face next.

If you don't qualify, you have to go back to the ninja school to repeat your studies, Sasuke and Sakura don't need to say much, for Naruto, who finally graduated from the school with great effort, this is an unbearable result no matter what.

However, as a guide to the shinobi, Kakashi has absolute authority in this regard.

Even Sasuke didn't know if Kakashi's intentions were true or not.

But every year, there are students who are ordered to return to the ninja school to repeat their studies, and Sasuke knows about it.

In other words, Kakashi is most likely not joking when he says that if they don't qualify, they will have to go back to school to restudy.

Even after a few years of getting along, the relationship between him and Kakashi can be considered close, but Sasuke also knows that Kakashi is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private. There will never be a fake public or private interest on such a serious occasion.

Moreover, Sasuke didn't think that with his friendship with Kakashi, he could let Kakashi open the door for him.

The most important thing is that his dignity does not allow him to pass the trials of Kassi in this way.

Otherwise, this would be a discredit to the Uchiha clan.

In this way, the three of them waited for Kakashi to arrive at the exercise site.

While waiting, the morning sun rises and a red halo envelops the forest, bringing a hint of peace.

This was clearly beyond the five a.m. meeting time that Kakashi had said.

Looking at Sasuke and Sakura, who were both very calm, Naruto held back the dissatisfaction in his heart and had to wait patiently.

In this way, time passed minute by minute, I don't know how long it was, just when Naruto was about to fall asleep with an eyelid fight, Kakashi came out of the path in the woods, belatedly.

"Good morning, everyone."

"It's almost noon now! It's too slow! ”

Naruto yelled at Kakashi with a fierce expression.

Sakura also glared at Kakashi with blaming eyes, but in order to maintain the image of a lady, she didn't yell like Naruto.

Sasuke said with an expected expression, "I've told you a long time ago, this guy's nickname is the Late King, there's no need to come here so early!" ”

"Then why did you come here so early?"

Naruto turned his head and gritted his teeth.

Sasuke shrugged his shoulders indifferently and replied, "Unlike what you do there, I'm used to practicing in my free time. ”

He spent the whole morning studying how to use the thunder attribute chakra.

Strictly speaking, it's not a meaningless thing to wait here.

"Oh, don't quarrel with the two of you, this morning, my friend unfortunately met another grandmother who fell......"

Kakashi came over to persuade him.

"Is that friend of yours a granny killer? How can I meet my grandmother every day? ”

Naruto spat fiercely.

"In a sense, that's pretty much it. Life is always so dramatic. ”

Kakashi said this, then pulled out an alarm clock, which showed the time at eleven o'clock.

He put the alarm clock on a rock, turned to the three of them and said, "Okay, no more nonsense, I set the time of the alarm clock at twelve o'clock, and then the three of you will have a real combat exercise with this Shangnin." ”

As he spoke, he took out two more bells from his ninja bag.

"Bells?"

Naruto and Sakura looked a little surprised, not knowing what Kakashi was going to do.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed, as if he knew what Kakashi was going to do.

It's the obvious verbal provocation trap again.

Sure enough, Kakashi said, "I have two bells here, and your task is to take them from me before twelve o'clock." Only those who get the bell can pass my exam and become a true shinobi. ”

"But, Kakashi-sensei, you only have two bells in your hands? There are three of us, and two bells are not enough. ”

Sakura asked.

"Then get rid of the other one, like Naruto......"

"Hey! Why exclude me? To exclude Sasuke, don't you? ”

Naruto pointed at Sasuke.

"Kakashi-sensei's words, it's hard not to be recognized."

Sakura agreed with Kakashi's words.

"Hmm!"

Naruto wilted like a frosted eggplant.

"Okay, let's start the assessment, I'm in a hurry. Remember, you only have an hour left, and you know, there are only two bells here. In other words, the three of you also have to watch out for each other's teammates, and the opponent is not just me, the upper ninja, after all, there will be one person who will not be qualified. ”

Kakashi said intentionally or unintentionally.

"What a despicable measure."

Naruto said with a huff.

"It can't be helped, the world of ninjas is so cruel, and sometimes, the closest companions can become enemies one day. If you forget this, you won't be able to go far on the path of ninja. ”

Kakashi stared deeply at Naruto.

Naruto was frightened.

He was almost convinced of what he said.

No matter how you look at it, it's probably a trick of intimidation.

"Hmph, I'm not going to be intimidated by your words. I'll definitely get the bell from you! ”

Naruto shouted with an oath.

"I'm talking about simple-minded fools like you...... Forget it, then, challenge me with the determination to kill me, and you can use any means to do it. Drills, start now! ”

As Kakashi said this, Sasuke and Sakura immediately disappeared from their place, surrounding the dense woods, hiding their tracks.

Although he could sense the traces of the two by perceiving ninjutsu, Kakashi did not do so.

After all, if you use all your strength, then it will be too much to bully these lower endurances.

Moreover, he also wanted to see what kind of surprise Sasuke would bring him.

After he left yesterday afternoon, with Sasuke's cautious character, he must have explained something to the two of them, so it should be considered that his verbal trap might fail.

Thinking about it this way, Kakashi was looking forward to what kind of surprise the three of them would bring to him.

But...... Looking at Naruto, who didn't hide his tracks, but stayed where he was, Kakashi couldn't figure out what Sasuke's plan was for a while.

Or did his verbal provocation have succeeded, and Naruto did not choose to act according to Sasuke's strategy, but took matters into his own hands.

Interesting. Kakashi said to himself.

He couldn't even see through what Sasuke's arrangement was, which proved that the other party had grown not only strength, but also brains.

It's a pity that just as Sasuke knows him well, he also knows the three who are about to become his subordinates.

He knows exactly what each of them is good at and what he is not good at.

In this way, the information is disclosed to each other. In such a situation, Kakashi is looking forward to how far the three of Sasuke can go.

"Fight it out, Kakashi-sensei! A man should fight with dignity! ”

Naruto clasped his hands to his chest and shouted at Kakashi.

"Looks like you've got something wrong with your brain."

Even if it was a ploy, such a reckless act was not advisable in Kakashi's opinion.

Such temptations are meaningless in front of him.

The most important point is that of the three, Naruto is the most susceptible to agitation.

"Bastard! It's your hairstyle that's in question! ”

After Naruto finished speaking, he rushed straight at Kakashi, waving his fist.

It's still this kind of undisciplined play, knocking down Mizuki, just with the power of the Nine Tails, and there are still many people.

Such a Naruto, in Kakashi's opinion, is full of flaws.

Thinking of this, Kakashi looked down at the "Intimacy Paradise" series of books in the ninja bag, and subconsciously wanted to take them out to see the development of the story behind.

However, it soon occurred to him, and Kakashi resisted the temptation of "Intimacy Paradise" and resisted the idea of reading.

Before he decided on Sasuke's intentions, he thought it would be better for him to be careful.

He remembered that in Naruto's personal review, he wrote the phrase 'the first student in surprise'.

Because he is stupid, sometimes his behavior is difficult to judge according to common sense.

Catching Naruto's fist, Kakashi glanced at Naruto lightly, and saw that the other party quickly kicked out his left foot with the fist that was caught as a fulcrum.

Kakashi jumped up instantly, while Naruto stumbled forward because of his excessive exertion, his body's center of gravity was unstable.

Not only that, Naruto also felt that his head was stepped on by Kakashi, who jumped up, and the center of gravity of his body could no longer be stable, and he fell directly to the ground and gnawed a large mouthful of dirt.

"Phew! Bah! You bastard! ”

After eating a large mouthful of soil, Naruto's face showed disgust, and he quickly wiped the dust off the corner of his mouth.

"Are you talking about me?"

The voice came from behind, making Naruto startled.

He carelessly didn't notice how Kakashi moved.

"Ninja, you must not leave your back to the enemy! Let me teach you how to use physical techniques! ”

Before he could turn around, Naruto instantly felt a strong impact that pierced through his lower abdomen from behind, and the impact went straight to his head next.

"Ahh

The mournful screams make people feel heart-rending pain.

Naruto's entire body flew into the air like a cannonball, and then smashed into a small lake not far away, bursting into a burst of bubbles.

Putting down the gesture, Kakashi looked at Naruto, who had been knocked out by himself, with a very satisfied expression.

The ancestral physical skills of the Qimu family, I have finally practiced a little hot.

As for how Naruto feels, that's none of his business.

Anyway, it is an indisputable fact that people are strong and durable.

Just as he was thinking, Naruto crawled up from the lake soaking wet, clutching his hot ass in shame, and glaring at Kakashi viciously.

"You bastard...... How dare you ......"

"It's really amazing, I was able to climb up so quickly after eating my thousand-year-old killing."

Kakashi said, feigning surprise.

"Bastard, you've pissed me off! Dry blast you! ”

Naruto spat out dirty words, and in the lake behind him, the water surface suddenly rippled and undulated, and more than twenty Naruto leaped out from under the water, and began to surround Kakashi from all directions with the momentum of a net of heaven and earth.

Kakashi didn't think so, even if he didn't have to go all out, this level of attack was not a big deal for him.

Only when the three of them join forces can there be a slight chance of victory.

Kakashi has a very good grasp of this.

Any one of the three who fought him alone could not be his opponent.

"Thunder away!"

Zizi!

Dense electric light, instantly covering the earth.

Naruto's clone, which was soaked all over, became an excellent conductive tool.

A series of screams came out, and all the menacing clones disappeared.

Naruto's body was also directly hit by lightning, his whole body trembled, his legs trembled again and again, and he probably couldn't stand steadily.

Just as Kakashi was about to finish Naruto, his ears moved.

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and countless shurikens and kun were flying from nowhere.

Shuriken and Kunai Array of this scale could not have been launched by one person.

Was the trap laid out in advance yesterday?

Kakashi's figure flickered, and the shuriken and kunai were all missing.

Naruto, who had been paralyzed by thunder and lightning, was nowhere to be found, and escaped using the lake behind him.

However, the attack just now has exposed enough traces.

Looking in a certain direction, Kakashi's figure flashed and chased after him.

The girl with long cherry hair galloped through the woods, and began to shift her position with a panicked face.

However, her trails have been exposed, and for Kakashi, she is already a qualified bait.

"Sakura-chan, I'm in the back!"

It was Sasuke's voice, and Sakura turned her head in surprise, and then her pupils shrank.

It was not Sasuke who appeared, but Kakashi, who imitated Sasuke's voice, his hands were sealed, the leaves in the forest were flying, and the strong spiritual impact was directly submerged in Sakura's mind.

"Oops, it looks like it's gone a little too far......"

Looking at Sakura, who was foaming at the mouth and saw Sakura unconscious in the horror illusion, Kakashi scratched his head in embarrassment.

He wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect the only medical ninja in the team to be so vulnerable.

That's a bit worrying.

Just as he was thinking this, several purple projectiles rolled out of Sakura's pocket.

Bang!

The purple demonic mist swept through the area in an instant, causing Kakashi's eyes to widen in surprise.

Poisonous Mist!

Kakashi held his breath and staggered backwards, instantly realizing that it was a decoy that had been deliberately detected for him.

As he stepped back, there was a sound of a mechanism kicking in, and a tough steel wire came out of nowhere, binding his body firmly.

After pulling, the wire is more and more powerful.

"Fire Escape: Dragon Fire Technique!"

The waves of fire followed the tightrope in the depths of the poisonous mist, rushing towards Kakashi's body in one go.

Bang!

The flames exploded, dispersing the poisonous mist and setting all the trees on fire.

Not only that, a large amount of suffering fell from the sky, and the killing intent soared, like a continuous torrential rain that shot wildly.

The sound of clanging, the sound of the blade splitting kunai.

Kakashi held the white fang dagger in his hand, and his figure walked out of the fire with a slightly embarrassed figure, looking at Sasuke and Naruto who appeared in front of him and blocked his way, while Sakura was long gone, and he didn't know where to hide.

"Interesting, is this your tactic? Deliberately brought me here. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm going to get revenge on my ass!"

Naruto didn't give Kakashi a chance to talk nonsense, and rushed up in an instant.

Sasuke also acted with him, his moves were more powerful and fast than Naruto's, and his move foundation was also very solid, and he was completely on the same level as Naruto.

"Naruto, don't give him a chance to use a knife, or we won't have a chance to win!"

Sasuke shouted.

He knew exactly what Kakashi was the most powerful.

It's not Thunder Ninjutsu, it's Sword Technique!

Once the knife is out, it means that Kakashi is already serious about them.

Such a Kakashi, even if he doesn't use all his strength, is very terrifying.

"I see! One move to decide the winner! ”

Naruto quickly sealed, and more than two dozen doppelgangers appeared in an instant, rushing up.

Kakashi tried to move, but found that his footsteps could not be shifted, and he looked down to see a formation drawn on the ground.

Sasuke, who was in the distance, suddenly pressed his hands to the ground, transporting chakra, maintaining this formation.

Immobilization Circle.

It is the most basic sealing circle, and it is cumbersome to use, but if it is used in a trap, the effect will be very obvious.

Still, it's too tender.

It is really a fool's dream to want to use the basic sealing technique of the immobilization magic circle to seal his actions.

Moreover, it was only his feet that were sealed, and his arms with knives could still be used freely.

"That's it!"

Kakashi raised the White Fang Short Knife and was about to swing it.

Naruto, the more than two dozen doppelgangers who rushed up, formed a seal in his hand again, which surprised Kakashi, and his movements were subconscious.

Looking at Naruto's malicious smile, Kakashi suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Enlightenment! Harem Technique! ”

Bang!

After a dazzling puff of smoke, a large area of white flowers' naked bodies appeared in Kakashi's sight.

Sexy and hot double ponytail babes hugging Kakashi together.

"Ah, Kakashi-sensei, I hate it, don't do it~"

The sweet and greasy words made Kakashi raise the white tooth short knife, unable to swing it anymore, and his whole body trembled, and it was estimated that his brain was blank and fell into a state of death.

Naruto's face was filled with joy.

"Got it!"

Gathering all the strength of his body, he rushed in front of Kakashi and punched Kakashi in the nose.

Kakashi's body regressed, and in the surprised eyes of Naruto and Sasuke, Kakashi turned into a dense electric light and headed straight for Naruto.

"Ahhh Whoa! ”

Naruto, who was hit by the dense electric light, suddenly convulsed all over his body, danced there in a very strange posture, and let out a very miserable strange scream.

The doppelgangers of the naked beautiful girl disappeared all.

Sasuke patted his forehead and said helplessly: "I see, is it the Thunder Shadow clone who rushed into the woods to fight us later?" Kakashi's ...... It's so cautious to deal with Shinobi. ”

There is unwillingness, but the gap in my heart is not so unacceptable.

And although it is a clone of Lei Dunying, the two bells carried on his body are genuine.

Sasuke walked over and ignored Naruto, who was twitching on the ground and his eyes were rolling, and picked up the two bells that had fallen on the ground, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yo, you're out."

Not far from the lake, Kakashi leaned back against the trees, opened "Intimacy Paradise" and watched, after hearing footsteps, closed the book, turned his head to look at Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura who walked out of the woods, and said hello with a smile.

"Humph!"

Naruto turned his head in dissatisfaction with Kakashi's greeting behavior and snorted softly.

Today was really unlucky, he was lightened twice by lightning, and Naruto felt that the bones in his body were now starting to weaken, and he let out a wailing sound.

"When did you notice my traps?"

Sasuke asked.

Kakashi replied, "Knowing that you set a trap to lure me over, it's normal to send a clone to test me. To be honest, I never expected you to be able to defeat that thunder clone. Moreover, using the shadow clone to transform into Sakura and lure me into a fool is not a bad idea. A ninja who is the first in terms of accidents! ”

With that, Kakashi glanced at Naruto.

His Thunder Clone also has the function of a shadow clone, and after the Thunder Shadow Clone disappears, memories are transmitted to his body's mind.

He had planned to deliberately lose as long as Sasuke and the others could hold out for three minutes, handing them the bell.

Unexpectedly, Sasuke and Naruto joined forces to directly defeat his Thunder Shadow clone.

Although the method used is a bit difficult to speak, but losing is losing, and Kakashi can't argue with this.

On the contrary, he was a little glad that the past was not the essence, otherwise his reputation might not be guaranteed.

The upgraded version of the art of seduction - the art of the harem!

Its power is estimated to be able to kill more than a dozen third-generation Hokages in an instant.

It is a super S-level forbidden technique that can ignore the hard power gap and achieve a leapfrog counter-kill.

Naruto, who was able to develop this forbidden technique, was also a genius in a sense.

Until now, Kakashi felt a flame rising in his stomach, and the sequelae of being hit by the harem technique continued.

It seems that the information transmitted to the country of ghosts is going to include the message of paying attention to the color seduction.

Otherwise, someone who likes to pedal two boats is likely to capsize in the gutter.

Because of this forbidden technique, for a certain group of people, the power may be directly doubled and superimposed.

"Okay, we've got the bell, then, this drill, let's pass it."

Sasuke said as he took out two bells.

"Yes, yes, but only two people can qualify, and the remaining one needs to go back to school to repeat, and the three of you will discuss who to return to ......"

Before Kakashi could finish speaking, Sasuke had already interrupted with a sneer:

"If you really do what you say, the three of us will be sent back to the ninja school to restudy. So, don't show off this old-fashioned routine with me. ”

With that, Sasuke stared at Kakashi with burning eyes.

Naruto and Sakura also looked at Kakashi with a worried expression.

Unlike Sasuke, they have only been with Kakashi for a short time, and they don't know much about Kakashi's personality.

"But I think one of the three of you is here to hold you back......"

Kakashi looked at Sakura, intentionally or unintentionally.

In this exercise, Sakura did make the least shots, and she didn't even play.

"Who do you say? Believe it or not, I'll let you taste the power of the harem again? ”

Naruto was immediately dissatisfied when he saw Kakashi targeting Sakura.

"It's a fact."

Kakashi was unmoved.

Sasuke grabbed Naruto, glanced at Sakura, who looked a little uneasy, and said to Kakashi, "If Sakura is allowed to fight, she will be the first to be killed." She is a medical ninja, so there is no need to put herself in danger, and in the uncertain situation, risking her risk will lead to her failing grades. Moreover, without the poison she configured, weakening part of the power of your thunder clone, my immobilization technique alone would not be able to fix the thunder clone. ”

“……”

Being seen through by Sasuke, Kakashi was not embarrassed at all.

He knew it was going to happen.

Although the teamwork of the three is still very immature, it is already a very remarkable act to think that the three of them have only worked together on the first day, and they have done this.

Teamwork can only take shape after a lot of experience accumulation.

The formation of any squad is not achieved overnight.

Even the White Fang team led by his father in the past.

In the general ranks, there is never a talk of medical ninjas fighting on the front line.

If Sakura is allowed to appear directly on the frontal battlefield, Kakashi will instead question Sasuke's leadership ability and whether Sakura is being used as an outcast.

This is a very dangerous behavior for ninjas.

This kid...... has gradually become the leader of the middle ninja, and he can no longer be regarded as a clueless little ghost. Kakashi looked at Sasuke and said secretly.

"Okay, I admit that I underestimated you, I should have made the exercise a little more difficult...... Kakashi sighed, then glanced at the three of Sasuke seriously, and said solemnly: "Then, from today onwards, I declare that you are my subordinates." ”

This sentence also means that the three Sasuke have officially been recognized by Kakashi and have become real shinobi.
