Chapter 21 Naruto vs. Kakashi

"This distance..."

Kakashi stared in shock at the scene before him.

This is where Naruto usually trains, and it is the same place where they'd first met.

Kakashi roughly estimated in his mind that the distance from the Konoha Bookstore to here was about five hundred meters.

And judging by Naruto's composure...

That wasn't even his limit.

What really stunned Kakashi was that when he activated his Sharingan just now, he hadn't sensed any Chakra fluctuations.

Though Naruto's technique is very flashy.

And on the battlefield, if the enemy gets the intelligence in advance, they'd definitely come up with counters for Naruto's technique.

But Kakashi felt that if this technique was used properly, it would be no less powerful than Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique.

Moreover, the portal can not only be used for attack, but also for defense.

"Let's go, Uncle Kakashi!"

The moment Naruto landed, he mimicked Sasuke, with one hand on the ground, spinning around with a wild kick aimed straight at Kakashi's kidneys.

There is absolutely no martial ethics.

Kakashi's eyelid twitched and he immediately stepped aside, effortlessly avoiding the little short-leg attack.

But in his heart, he was lamenting how shameless Naruto is.

'Is he targeting my waist to ruin my happiness for the rest of my life?'

"Hehehe! White-Hair Uncle, you fell for it!"

At this moment, a yellow-haired figure suddenly appeared behind Kakashi.

'Shadow clone!?'

'When did he…!?'

Kakashi was genuinely surprised.

They'd just arrived here, so he wondered when Naruto have the time to form the hand seal.

The Naruto's clone punched Kakashi on the waist, but it didn't feel like anything.

Bang…

Kakashi, who was hit, turned into a log on the spot, obviously using the Body Replacement Technique.

Naruto was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that there was such a buggy Ninjutsu.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Dozens of shurikens flew into the air, aiming at Naruto's vital points. It must be said that Kakashi's Shurikenjutsu was no less than those of the Uchiha.

Naruto knew he couldn't block all of them, so he simply protected his face with both hands and charged straight at Kakashi.

When Kakashi saw this scene, he was stunned for two seconds.

'What the hell is wrong with this kid?!'

'Why don't you dodge???'

'Who charges into enemy shuriken like this?'

Kakashi's scalp went numb from watching this.

'This kid is crazy!'

'Even if you have strong recovery abilities, you can't play like this!'

As expected, Naruto, who was completely unprepared, was stabbed in the hands, feet, back and shoulders by the shurikens, and blood gradually seeped out of his black clothes.

Fortunately, Kakashi had held back and didn't throw out all the shurikens in his Ninja Pouch, otherwise, given Naruto's reaction, he might've ended up looking like a pincushion.

Naruto gritted his teeth, feeling that the pain was still within his acceptable range.

It's all thanks to Kurama-sensei's teaching.

If he hadn't made him undergo the pain-endurance training beforehand, Naruto probably couldn't have powered through Kakashi's attacks like that.

In the moment when Kakashi was stunned, Naruto raised his hand and pulled out a large iron door. He grabbed the end of the iron door with both hands, and swung it at Kakashi's head with a whistling whoosh.

Fwoosh…

Kakashi felt a great sense of crisis. If that thing hit him, he estimated that he would have to stay in the hospital for at least two weeks.

But Naruto's attack was still too green, so Kakashi lowered his head and dodged, then hopped backward a few steps to put distance between them.

'I can't get into close range...'

Kakashi now has a rough idea of ​​Naruto's strength.

'That giant iron door...'

'Had to weigh at least a hundred pounds, right?'

Kakashi had zero doubt that Naruto could actually hurt him with it.

And Naruto said that he wanted Kakashi to teach him some Taijutsu, so Kakashi wasn't so shameless as to use Ninjutsu to bully him.

After an unsuccessful attack, Naruto dismissed the iron door, then took a deep breath and started pulling out the shuriken on his body.

Because he found that the shurikens that pierced his body had a great impact on his regeneration.

When Kakashi saw Naruto treating his wound, he did not take the opportunity to attack, but just watched calmly.

However, in his heart, he has begun to feel numb.

'What's wrong with this kid?'

Kakashi watched as Naruto's wounds healed instantly after he removed the shuriken.

'What kind of beast is he!'

Ding, ding, ding…

The shuriken hit the ground with crisp metallic thuds.

Naruto's little face tightened with focus, his hands were in an attacking posture, and his feet moved slightly.

Time to show White-Hair what Tree-Style Taijutsu looked like!

"Aaaahhhh…"

Naruto let out a battle cry and charged at Kakashi again.

But Kakashi just took a quick glance and found that Naruto;'s attack was full of flaws.

With a soft sigh, Kakashi decided it was time to get serious.

With a Body Flicker Technique, Kakashi vanished from sight, leaving Naruto completely stunned… so stunned that he actually forgot what he was supposed to do next.

The very next second, Naruto felt a hand clamp down on his shoulder. His vision blurred and then he was face-first on the ground.

"Naruto, when fighting an enemy, always analyze their capabilities."

"Don't just charge in headfirst."

After saying that, Kakashi let go and helped the dazed Naruto back to his feet.

To be honest, Naruto's brain was still lagging.

Although he had begun to refine Chakra, he had no combat experience at all.

Moreover, Kakashi had used the Body Flicker Technique so suddenly.

From the moment Kakashi disappeared to the moment Naruto was pinned, it hadn't even been two seconds.

It completely shattered Naruto's understanding, even with his previous life's memory.

After all, his combat strategy still leaned heavily on his previous world mindset. To put it bluntly, he has not yet adapted to the power in his new body.

Power-wise, he could go toe-to-toe with an adult Shinobi. But when it came to reflexes and tactical reactions, he was far inferior.

Seeing the frustration on Naruto's face, Kakashi couldn't help but try to comfort him, "Why didn't you use that purple light gate just now?"

"Ah?"

Naruto was stunned, then scratched his head and began to regret.

'Right!'

'Why didn't I use that?'

This feeling is just like when he was playing games in his previous life, it was common for me to forget to use the Ultimate skill because he was too nervous during a team fight.

Kakashi held his forehead and said helplessly, "When I threw the shuriken earlier, you could've used that technique then too."

"Oh, yeah!"

Naruto's eyes widened as he smacked his thigh.

'It's the perfect counter… I could use it to reflect all of the enemy's attacks!'

'And it's not just shuriken, it can also be used to deal with the enemy's Ninjutsu!'

'Kakashi is really a genius!

"I understand!"

"Uncle Kakashi, try using a Ninjutsu on me."

Kakashi: "???"

'Can we not go this far?'

'Even if you can't block the shuriken, at least you can resist it...'

'But if you don't have time to use the Space-Time Ninjutsu... then something serious will happen!'

"Naruto... I know you have a different physique than ordinary people..."

"But you can't just..."

"Come on, come on! Just use a Fire Release Ninutsu."

"You know how to use the Great Fireball Technique, right?"

'Is this kid even listening to me?'

Kakashi shook his head and sighed, but in the end, he still agreed to his request.

But before starting, he gave Naruto a stern warning.

"If you can't activate it in time, dodge. Got it?"

"Yeah, yeah, let's get started."

Naruto clearly didn't take Kakashi's words to heart at all.

After all…

The Great Fireball Technique never harms anyone with a proper name, right?

If that Ninjutsu managed to land and injure him today, then he would no longer be called Uzumaki Naruto!
