41: Chapter 41 Perfect Teamwork! One Person Destined for Elimination"Early my foot!"
Naruto and Sakura were instantly enraged and roared in unison!
"Kakashi-sensei!It's almost noon!Why are you so late?"
Sakura pointed to the sun, which was high in the sky, and complained.
Naruto, who had been severely hungry during both previous meetings, felt his stomach convulsing violently, and resentment, like tangible black smoke, billowed from the top of his head!
He glared at Kakashi, vowing fiercely in his heart: 'You damned teacher.I didn't want to use this move because you're my teacher.but since you're so ruthless, don't blame me for being ruthless in return!'
The exercise is about to begin.We absolutely have to get you a butt-blasting cannon!
Let me show you the rage of waiting for someone on an empty stomach!
Kakashi's gaze swept over the enraged Naruto, and he immediately recalled the detailed information provided by the Third Hokage:
'Naruto Uzumaki appears to have mastered the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and the Bloodline Limit: Bullet Release.Furthermore, he recently acquired the Uzumaki clan's secret technique—the Adamantine Sealing Chains—which he likely hasn't fully mastered yet…'
'But that's not necessarily true.Konohamaru seems to be spreading the word everywhere that Naruto defeated Ebisu with chains.Speaking of which, why hasn't Ebisu been following Konohamaru around like a shadow.'
Looking at Naruto's still not fully awake and filled with resentment, Kakashi secretly assessed: 'Even with just the strange body of Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu + Bullet Release.it would be troublesome enough to deal with ordinary genin or even chunin.'
There's even a sliver of a chance that this kid might stumble upon the Vajra Sealing Technique by sheer luck; given his previous poor comprehension, he probably hasn't even mastered its application yet.
To prevent the kid from getting too cocky because of his newfound power, Kakashi decided to give him a profound "welcome gift to the ninja world".
'Hmm.For his healthy development, it's necessary to teach him a profound lesson.'
Kakashi's gaze swept over a certain part of Naruto's back, and he silently made up his mind: 'Thousand Years of Death.Hmm, not a bad choice.'
This is genuine care and concern from a senior colleague.
The master and apprentice's eyes met briefly in the air, and they reached an astonishingly dangerous consensus on the point of "giving each other an unforgettable lesson"!
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry."
Kakashi waved his hand dismissively, without even lifting his eyelids, "On the way here, we encountered a black cat blocking the road, and then."
He drew out his words, speaking in his signature languid tone, "I got lost on the path of life."
Kakashi remained unfazed by the three men's distrustful looks, which seemed to say, "No one would believe you."
He casually placed an old-fashioned alarm clock on a nearby wooden post.
"Alright, enough chit-chat."
Kakashi's tone became slightly more serious."I've already set the time for noon."
He set the alarm clock.
Then, as if by magic, he pulled two shiny silver bells from his ninja tool bag, tied with a thin red string, which jingled between his fingers.
"The content of this survival exercise is very simple."
Kakashi shook the bell, producing a clear and melodious sound, but to the three of them it was filled with an ominous premonition.
"Take a bell from my hand before noon."
"And those who fail to get the bell," Kakashi's voice carried a hint of coldness, "not only will they not get lunch, but they will also be tightly tied to that wooden stake…"
He pointed to the wooden post where the alarm clock was placed.
".Watch me eat my lunchbox.And of course, most importantly—"
He paused, then clearly announced, "His assessment will be deemed unsatisfactory, and he will need to return to the Ninja Academy to repeat his studies!"
Upon hearing this, Naruto and Sakura's faces fell, and they sighed inwardly, "So that's how it is.No wonder he wouldn't let us eat breakfast!He wanted to make us hungry so he could watch us embarrass ourselves!"
The observant Sakura immediately noticed the key issue.Pointing to the bells, she asked in confusion, "Wait a minute, Kakashi-sensei!Why.why are there only two bells?"
Kakashi's lips, hidden beneath his mask, seemed to curl into a slightly mischievous smile: "Good question."
He looked around at the three of them and said slowly, "Only two bells.that means that at least one of you three will."
His gaze, filled with scrutiny, swept over the three people, each with a different expression.
".I couldn't get the bell."
"In other words," Kakashi's smile seemed like a devil to the three of them, "at least one of you three will be unqualified.Or even… it's not impossible that all three of you will be unqualified."
"What?"
Naruto was taken aback, then his mind raced: 'Great!If I just grab both bells and give one to Sakura… wouldn't that send that arrogant Sasuke back to relearn the ropes?Perfect!'
He was making his own plans.
Seeing the changing expressions on the three people's faces, Kakashi added, "These are the rules.By the way."
His tone turned dangerous: "It's okay to use ninja tools at will."
but..."
"If you're not thinking of killing me."
His one exposed dead fish eye narrowed slightly, his sharp gaze sweeping over the three of them with an undeniable sense of oppression.
"There is absolutely no way you can take the bell from me!"
"Won't this.is too dangerous?"
Sakura immediately became worried.Was she really going to get serious about her future teacher?
Even Naruto was a little confused by this declaration of "killing the teacher." He scratched his head, thinking of Kakashi's "heroic" blackboard eraser feat from yesterday, and couldn't help but say with a hint of teasing:
"Yeah, yeah, Kakashi-sensei, you can't even dodge the blackboard eraser.If we really had murderous intent.wouldn't we accidentally hurt you?"
Looking at Naruto's somewhat smug expressionThe shape of the object made Kakashi's eyes flash with a glint of cunning, and he decided to add fuel to the fire: "Heh."
He let out a disdainful snort, "Those with the lowest strength.are the ones who like to boast the most."
He seemed to have lost interest in Naruto, casually waving his hand and turning his gaze to Sakura and Sasuke: "Alright, let's ignore this loser."
Everyone.let's get ready to begin!
"Last place?"
This word struck Naruto's most sensitive nerve!
He instantly lost his temper; his earlier teasing intentions vanished, leaving only a burning rage and a desire for revenge!
'You bastard Kakashi!You just wait!'
Naruto roared inwardly, "When the exercise starts, my Butt-Raising Cannon will be aimed right at you!I'll show you the power of your grandpa, Uzumaki Naruto!"
The atmosphere at the third training ground instantly became tense!
A brutal survival exercise revolving around two bells and determining survival is about to officially begin, amidst the hidden thoughts of both the master and apprentice!
