Chapter 301: The Intra-Team Fight of Team 7.

"The referee for this match will be Satoru, to prevent any of you from cheating."

At this time, Namikaze Minato continued to speak, dragging Hatake Satoru into it as well.

"Me? Why should I do such a thing?"

Hatake Satoru pointed at himself and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Because you're free right now, and just in case one of them goes too far, you can stop it in time."

Namikaze Minato answered, looking sincerely at Hatake Satoru.

"Uh... okay then."

Looking at Minato's eyes, Satoru couldn't bring himself to refuse. Who could resist when Minato looked so convincing?

"Then I'll count on you, Satoru-senpai."

Sakura said to Hatake Satoru with great respect.

"Hmm."

Hatake Satoru nodded lightly. He was also curious to see how much his younger brother's strength had grown over the past two years. Now, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura should be able to force Kakashi to show some of his real strength.

"Then you guys gather at the third training ground, and I will always be watching your battle."

"Yes."

Then Kakashi and Naruto rushed to the third training ground, and Hatake Satoru's figure also arrived shortly after.

When Hatake Satoru arrived at the third training ground, a feeling of being watched surged in his heart. He knew that Namikaze Minato was now watching their every move.

At the same time, Kakashi also felt this feeling. But he was used to it. Although he didn't feel this feeling of being watched every day, it happened almost once a month.

Kakashi and Naruto stood opposite each other. Naruto and the others all had excited expressions on their faces, while Kakashi looked helpless, without any enthusiasm. He really didn't understand why he suddenly had to fight these three people.

A beautiful day had disappeared because of this battle.

"Kakashi-sensei, this time I will definitely show you what my two years of successful training looks like."

Just then, a bell sound suddenly reached Sasuke's ears.

Hearing this familiar sound, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were shocked, and long-lost memories surged in their minds.

"Although I don't want to fight with you, since this is Hokage-sama's mission, let's see what progress you guys have made in these two years."

Kakashi said seriously.

"The rules are the same as before, you can use any means, as long as you can take the bell from me."

After saying that, Kakashi pinned the bell to his waist.

"I..."

Before Kakashi could finish speaking, Naruto and Sakura interrupted him.

"If you don't have the determination to kill me..."

"You can't take it, right?"

Hearing these familiar words, Kakashi also recalled the words he had said before, and a warm smile appeared on his face.

"That's right, without the determination to kill me, you can't take it. The deadline is until sunrise tomorrow."

Kakashi also repeated the words of the two.

"Enough talk, let's start quickly."

Sasuke urged.

"Since you can't wait, let's start."

After saying that, Kakashi closed the novel in his hand.

"Can't you read while fighting this time, Kakashi-sensei?"

Naruto tightened his forehead protector and said to Kakashi in a teasing tone.

"Or have you finished reading?"

Sakura also put on her gloves and looked at Kakashi with a smile.

"No, I want to save the exciting parts for last."

Kakashi explained. Although he said so, Kakashi knew that if he fought Naruto and the others with the attitude he had a few years ago, he would be the only one to lose in the end.

"And this time, anyway, I have to show some real skills."

After saying that, Kakashi lifted his forehead protector, revealing his Sharingan.

"Of course, I couldn't ask for more."

Sasuke closed his eyes and then opened them again, both pupils reflecting the crimson Three Tomoe Sharingan.

Now Sasuke's use of the Sharingan was definitely much stronger than in the original story. After all, in the original story, Uchiha Sasuke, who followed Orochimaru, had to explore the Sharingan on his own.

However, Sasuke's Sharingan now not only benefited from Kakashi's guidance but also from his father, Uchiha Fugaku's teachings. Even Kakashi, facing Sasuke's activated Sharingan, had to be cautious because if he accidentally fell under the influence of Genjutsu, it would be difficult for him to escape from the Three Tomoe Sharingan's Genjutsu.

"Three Tomoe Sharingan?"

Naruto noticed Sasuke's eyes and was also shocked. He had thought that he might have surpassed Sasuke in these two years, but Sasuke's progress was beyond his imagination.

In the shadows, several onlookers appeared, including Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Uchiha Fugaku. They all wanted to see how their disciples or children would perform in this battle.

Suddenly, a breeze blew, making the bells on Kakashi's waist jingle.

"Since everything is ready, let the battle begin."

With Hatake Satoru's announcement, Naruto took the initiative.

He pulled out several shuriken from his ninja tools pouch and threw them at Kakashi. Kakashi, who had activated his Sharingan, clearly saw the trajectory of these shuriken and easily dodged them.

However, Kakashi's attack wasn't over yet. While still in midair, Naruto was vulnerable, and Kakashi threw several more shuriken toward him.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu."

Naruto created a shadow clone, which immediately pulled the original Naruto aside, successfully avoiding Kakashi's attack.

"Not bad."

Impressed by Naruto's move, Kakashi praised him.

"Amazing! Using a shadow clone to move while unable to move freely in midair."

Sasuke and Sakura were equally surprised by Naruto's actions. They hadn't expected the once battle-inept fool to learn such clever combat techniques. 

However, this also made them feel the pressure to keep up with Naruto's growth.
