Greatswords were not shinobi weapons with rare exceptions like the mist's Kubikiribōchō.
Kakashi expected the straight sword that killed Mizuki. Yet glancing at the hilt on boy's belt hinted that something happened. That was strange given the anbu's report that nothing happened.
The silver cyclops felt a headache come through trying to figure out the living contradiction that was Naruto.
The first cut came down from high left. The jonin stepped right.
The second came horizontal from the right. He leaned back and let it pass.
The third was a thrust, and Kakashi moved his head four inches to the left and reached into his pouch. Naruto jumped back expecting a weapon. He produced his orange book and opened it to the middle.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?!"
"I've been trying to get to the climax for three days," Kakashi said, "And given who I'm dealing with, it shouldn't affect the outcome either way."
Naruto's popped a vein in his anger.
Kakashi sidestepped a downward cut that left a divot in the earth. He leaned around a rising cut that would have cleared a small tree. Then he moved behind Naruto in a single step that produced no sound whatsoever.
The jonin tightly clasped their hands together. Extending the middle and index fingers, resembling the Tiger hand seal.
In the trees, Sasuke recognized the handsign for a fire style jutsu. Sakura abandoned her cover and shouted, "Naruto, get out of there! You'll be killed!"
The squire knew what was coming. Knight's Sight had locked onto the jonin. Naruto decided that if the White Cyclops wanted to attempt a war crime, he was going to experience the consequences of that decision firsthand.
He held the talisman in his left hand and recited the prayer inside his heart.
Oratio Vis.
Via mihi detur.
Frange quod obstat.
Non ut occidam,
Sed ut transeam.
The shockwave left the talisman in a clean white dome that parried Leaf Village Secret Finger Jutsu: One Thousand Years of Death.
Kakashi was sent flying into a backflip.
There was no notable hand seals. No elemental affinity he could identify. The force had been significant enough to send him flying. But there was no damage anywhere.
How did that even make sense?!
The report to the Hokage was getting bigger and they hadn't even finished the bell test.
Naruto picked up Icha Icha novel had fallen during the launch.
"Hey, now let's not do anything we'll both regret."
Naruto's pyromancy lit his hands. The book went up in flames.
"Ah," Kakashi said quietly, not angry exactly... just sad. "I was three pages from the climax."
He looked at the fireball forming in Naruto's other hand and set his expression into something more professional.
Sasuke was caught off guard for a moment. Another genin using Fire Style?! But nowhere near the level of the Uchiha's Great Fireball.
Kakashi threw a kunai into the center of the fireball. The resulting explosion melted the blade into a puddle before it hit the ground.
At minimum, C rank, Kakashi noted. But there had been no hand signs, no breath anf no clear method of execution. The jutsu was difficult to categorize.
The jonin channeled chakra into his kunai and met the Zweihander's next downward cut. He pushed Naruto back.
Earth Style: Stone Blade Jutsu!
Kakashi finished the sequence of hand seals in under a hundrenth of a second and drove a kunai into the ground. When he pulled it free, a sabre made of grey-white stone came with it.
"It has been a while since I have used a sabre in a real fight. Won't you go easy on an old man?"
"No," Naruto said.
The first exchange established that advantage of Naruto's reach.
So, Kakashi kept his distance... staying at the edge of the Zweihander's effective range. The sabre probabed in short controlled thrusts that forced the boy to commit to defensive adjustments rather than offensive ones.
Naruto shortened his arc into tighter descending strikes.
Kakashi gave ground and let him feel like it was working. Letting the Zweihander pass close enough to move the air beside him. And returned a shallow cut across Naruto's pauldron that rang off the plate without penetrating. The boy used the failed cut's momentum to spin into a rising diagonal. It was more fluid than the jonin had expected. Kakashi got his sabre up in time but the force drove his guard back two steps. His shoulder registered the impact.
Naruto pressed forward immediately.
A straight overhead cut followed by a horizontal sweep at mid-height. The combination designed to cover both the step-back and the sidestep simultaneously.
Leaf Style: Dance of the Crescent Moon!
Three Kakashi's came with three simultaneous angles of attack. Two afterimages and one real. The Zweihander caught one afterimage. The shield caught the edge of the second. The third connected clean.
The impact sent Naruto off his feet entirely, armor and all. Before the boy hit the surface of the river in a white explosion of displaced water.
With Naruto down, Sasuke moved.
A spread of shuriken crossed the training ground in a tight fan pattern, hitting the jonin's side of his face.
Poof.
A log hit the ground covered in embedded steel. Kakashi leaned against a tree twenty meters back, producing a well-worn copy of an older Icha Icha edition.
"Guess I'll have to reread the old edition while I wait to get my hands on the latest volume. Doesn't that sound like a reasonable plan."
"I am not like them," Sasuke said dramatically.
"Save the bragging for when you have a bell."
Sasuke threw the shuriken in a direct frontal line, which looked like a straightforward attack. But one projectile curved mid-flight cutting a rope strung between two trees launching a volley of kunai.
This was a trap the uchiha had made.
Kakashi cleared them with a vertical jump but Sasuke was relentless.
A roundhouse that the jonin took on his forearm. A straight punch redirected off his palm. An axe kick that he caught on a raised guard with both hands occupied.
Sasuke's fingers went for the bells.
Impressive, Kakashi noted, tossing the boy forward. "I suppose that puts you at second place on Team 7."
Sasuke's expression darkened. "I will show you a real Fireball jutsu. Not that imitation.".
Kakashi filed that away as a clear superiority complex.
Fire style: Great fireball Jutsu!
A dense rolling sphere of orange flames, the size of a small room.
Water Style: Water Wall Jutsu!
The river behind Kakashi surged. A wall of water rose between them and the fireball hit it in a collision of steam that rolled outward across the training ground in a hot white cloud.
Naruto's shadow clones jumped out of the water until the training ground was full of armored genin.
Four hundred shadow clones.
The boy was a jinchuriki and an Uzumaki. Both accounted for tremendous reserves on a technical level. But this was the kind of chakra output that made veteran jonin take a step back and reassess.
Sasuke froze seeing this. That was not normal. Naruto was not supposed to be capable of something like this.
A quiet frustration settled in.
Why is he suddenly so strong?
"I suppose I should take this a little more seriously," Kakashi said, pushing the headband above his left eye.
The Sharingan opened.
Sasuke's composure completely broke at this point.
"How do you have the sharingan?" The words came out before he could stop them. "Are you an Uchiha? I thought I was the last one. I thought Itachi—"
The name caught in his throat like something physical.
"I will explain it to you later," Kakashi said, without unkindness. "Right now I need you out of the way."
His single Sharingan eye met Sasuke's eyes.
Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Genjutsu!
Sasuke eyes dulled as a shadow clone moved him to the side.
"Thoughtful," Kakashi said, producing a kunai.
Wind Style: Wasp Dagger!
The wind chakra settled over the kunai without sound or visible sign. The blade looked exactly as it had before. But upon contact, it would release a compressed wind burst that ruptured the target from the inside
The horde came.
Kakashi understood that the armor made every clone harder to kill. He drove the blade into the gap between the gorget and the pauldron on the horizontal follow through. A compressed wind chakra burst detonated inside the joint and the clone popped.
Backhand upward lift to break a clone's guard. He thrust into the armpit gap where the plate didn't cover the transition. Kakashi forearm blocked on the slash coming from his left, stab driving through the visor slit into the jaw. Pivot. The kunai finding the back of the knee joint on the clone behind him.
Waterfall takedown on the next few clones.
The Sharingan catalogued every plate, seam and transition between coverage areas. Building the map in real time and routing each engagement through the nearest exploitable gap.
Overhead smash with both hands gripping the head. Two-handed pivot block with a neck lock into a throw. A single overhead strike to the forehead of the next one. Uppercut, side kick, back step and downward strike through clonez.
Suddenly Naruto managed to grapple him from the back.
Front kick to the head to break the grip. Back elbow to the chest, eye strike then knee to the midsection of a clone. Forward roll to evade the follow through, came up with a wrist grab into a throat stab.
Kakashi took a deep breath. The horde was thinning but not fast enough.
Channeling more wind chakra through the kunai. He drove the kunai into the next clone's sternum.
Boom.
The kamikaze clone's explosion consumed Kakashi. Before the dust cleared the jonin's body reverted to its lightning state in the half second before the next clone reached him.
A ring of clones dropped simultaneously, popping in quick succession as the current moved through them.
Lightning Style: Shadow Clone Jutsu!
The original Naruto's knight sight locked onto the original who was hiding in the trees.
"Kamikaze clones inside the horde. That is an unpleasant yet genius tactic."
"You haven't seen anything yet, dattebayo!" Naruto said, and snapped his fingers.
Six fireballs crossed the training ground converging midair towards the jonin.
BOOM!
