Crafty old man

Valley of End.

"You got very amazing Jutsu. " says Hiruzen with a smile as he looks at Kazuna floating above his head.

"Praising me won't get you anywhere if you aren't going to make a move. " says Kazuna with a delighted smile as he looks at Hiruzen while covering 100 meters around them with his Chakra Strings.

"Don't be underestimate your opponent else it will be too late for regret. " says Hiruzen with a serious face looking at Kazuna.

"You don't need to care since I am confident of myself, old man. " says Kazuna with a smile as he didn't call out with confidence "Fire Style: Great Fireball. "

After crying out the name of the Jutsu Kazuna puts his hand in front of his mouth before spitting out a huge fireball which is even bigger than the status behind him.

Looking at the fireball which can be compared to a small sun that is moving at him with incredible speed Hiruzen didn't show much interest but made a series of handsels before calling out lazily "Wate Style: Water Dragon Jutsu. "

As soon as the fireball came to a few meters range of Hiruzen when he can feel the heat from the fireball a huge water Dragon rushed out of the water beneath his feet before eating the fireball like nothing and moving towards Kazuna as if today it will destroy everything in its path.

"If you can counter it with a Dragon then how about this. " says Kazuna with a nod since he never expected to defeat the Hokage with a simple fireball then cried out "Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu. "

Although the Water Dragon is approaching him with all its Majesty and is a little bit intimidating as well however it's not enough to make Kazuna surrender when he has one or two of his teammates jutsus to assist him and without hesitation, he uses him since now they are his weapon to face his opponent even if it's the Kage of the village.

When the water Dragon arrives halfway Kazuna spits out a fire that soon takes the form of a flood Dragon before making its way to counter the Water Dragon and soon the clash takes place.

**BooM**

As soon as the two opposite elemental Dragons clash with one another a huge explosion occurred that extinguished the fire Dragon and evaporates the Water Dragon causing the whole Valley of End to be covered by a thick layer of Mist causing everyone's vision to get Bullard.

"Were you preparing for the second Jutsu while using the first one as Diversion. " asks Hiruzen with a laugh before appearing behind Kazuna.

"To face the strongest Shinobi in the world how can I not. " asks Kazuna with a smile as he stops Hiruzen's Kunai with confidence.

"I am too old to be called the strongest at my age. " says Hiruzen with a smile as they move back from one another.

"Stop acting modestly at your age. "says Kazuna with a smile when he felt Hiruzen behind him making him wonder 'When did he move behind me. '

[Note: No one of the team Shikaku was introduced to the Shadow clone or any advanced Clone Jutsu by their instructors at this point. ]

Even though Kazuna can feel multiple presences of Hiruzen in the Mist and it's becoming more and more complex for him to counter multiple Hiruzen in Taijutsu and Kenjutsu however he is trying his best by using the Strings, now and then but his opponent is overwhelming nonetheless.

"The Mist is too thick for me to see anything from this far. " says Izumi with a sigh shaking her head.

"It's too bad I can't determine anything based on the smell when it's close to none. " says Hana with regret as she can only look at the Mist below from the 1st Hokage's.

"If there was a Byakugan user among us then we might have the ability to see understand the situation below. " says Shikaku shaking his head.

"Who needs Byakugan when it's only good for peeking in your privacy.  " says Izumi with annoyance as she concentrated at the Mist once more.

While team Shikaku is looking at the Battle there are also some members of the Anbu, Hokage guardian squad, and a few high-level Jonin not far away.

"How long do you think the kid is going to keep up? " asks Anko Mitarashi with a smile as she leaks her lips with her long tongue.

"The kid is pretty amazing but I am not sure since he is facing Lord 3rd and it should have been over by now. " says Kurenai Yuhi with a smile while wondering why is the Hokage wasting his time with a kid unless he wants to test the full extent of the abilities of the kid.

"Don't belittle him just because of his age and innocent appearance when youth is burning like the raising Sun within him since he has yet to get started and use the Inner Gates. " says Might Guy displaying all his teeth.

"Did you teach him the Eighth Inner Gates Technique, Guy? " asks Anko with surprise wondering how a cute little kid not older than 8 can be so stronger isn't he more perverted than Kakashi Hatake and Itachi Uchiha.

"Oh~ did I teach him the Gates you asks just wait until he uses the first 4 gates with that huge Chakra of his." says Guy with a smile making his two friends speechless.

---------------------------------------

Back to the water bed.

"I have had enough of this already. " cried out Kazuna in frustration when he is getting assaulted from all directions and it looks like every single one is the real Hiruzen but how can his Chakra sensory jutsu be decided so easily so with no further hesitation he calls out "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough. "

**Boom**

As soon as he was done all the Mist in the valley is now gone from the sudden wind explosion as multiple Hiruzen came into his sight and from their Chakra signature he is sure every one of them is the original Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"I didn't think you would be so impatient to use great breakthrough to clear the Mist this early. " says Hiruzen with a smile as he looks at Kazuna.

"How can there be so many of you? "asks Kazuna in confusion as he looks at Hiruzen.

"I will explain everything after this is over. " says Hiruze before sending him flying across the water bed as he comes out from beneath his feet through the water.

"When??? "
