Chapter 94: Kakashi Gets Wrecked, Sasuke Is Feeling Himself Again

Hinata, who had been quietly looking for an opening all this time, suddenly narrowed her eyes.

A Bagua pattern appeared beneath her feet.

"Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms!"

Hinata swung her arms.

Blue chakra-infused palm shadows multiplied from two to four, four to eight, and eight to sixteen, pouring toward Kakashi like a violent storm!

Kakashi’s heart tightened.

He wasn’t even using ninjutsu, yet Hinata wasn’t using her clan’s Gentle Fist secret technique?

At the same time, Naruto swept low from one side, sealing off Kakashi’s lower body.

Sasuke perfectly seized the opportunity and swept a sharp kick toward Kakashi’s head, sealing off his upper route.

With palm shadows filling the air and both his upper and lower routes under attack, Kakashi quickly formed a hand seal with one hand.

Poof!

A cloud of smoke erupted.

"Substitution Technique!"

Naruto and Sasuke’s sweeping attacks struck nothing.

The countless palm shadows slammed into the substitute log.

Their penetrating force was astonishing. The blue chakra penetrated deep into the wood before suddenly exploding!

At that moment—

Kakashi emerged behind Hinata after escaping with the Substitution Technique.

"One!"

As though announcing that she had been eliminated, the kunai in his hand flashed with a cold gleam.

The next instant, it would pass across the back of Hinata’s neck!

Hinata’s pupils contracted.

With her Byakugan active, she had a 360-degree field of vision.

But she was still in the middle of her attack and hadn’t finished retracting her palms.

There was no time to react!

Naruto, who had already noticed Kakashi’s movement, curled the corner of his mouth upward.

He knew that even if Kakashi’s kunai struck, it would only pass a few centimeters behind Hinata’s neck.

But in a training exercise, that was enough to declare Hinata eliminated.

Even so—

Naruto had only been playing around with Kakashi.

How could he possibly let him succeed?

Chakra erupted from Naruto’s body.

His secret technique activated.

"Adamantine Sealing Chains!"

Several golden chains burst out from Naruto’s body!

They moved incredibly fast!

Sasuke, who had just landed nearby, immediately began forming hand seals.

Just before the kunai could pass behind Hinata’s neck, the Adamantine Sealing Chains intercepted it.

Clang!

The sound of metal colliding rang out as sparks flew.

A tremendous force came through the golden chains, causing Kakashi’s hand holding the kunai to tremble.

His body staggered backward, forcing him to retreat half a step.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

Damn!

Several golden chains appeared around him from four different directions.

They completely sealed off every route and rapidly wrapped around him, binding his body tightly!

Kakashi’s eyes bulged as he suddenly endured the tremendous force of the tightening chains.

But it wasn’t over yet!

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

Sasuke had already finished forming his hand seals.

He suddenly spewed flames from his mouth.

The blazing Great Fireball shot toward Kakashi!

By now, Hinata had withdrawn her palms.

As the Great Fireball approached, she pushed off the ground and quickly moved away from its range.

"Hiss!"

Looking at the incoming fireball, Kakashi couldn’t help sucking in a sharp breath.

The next moment, he rapidly gathered chakra and coated his body with it.

Boom!

The Great Fireball slammed directly into Kakashi!

In the distance—

"Kakashi-senpai was hit by a Fire Style technique..."

The ANBU stared at the scene in disbelief.

Their brains temporarily stopped functioning.

The next moment, for some reason, the ANBU almost wanted to laugh.

The Fire Style technique continued for several seconds!

Only when Sasuke finally stopped feeding chakra into the technique did the flames gradually dissipate.

Hinata returned to Naruto’s side, looking slightly worried.

"Kakashi-sensei will be okay, right?"

Then she thought about it.

"Kakashi-sensei is a Jonin. He should definitely be fine after just one Great Fireball."

Thinking this, Hinata finally relaxed.

The flames gradually dispersed.

"Cough, cough!"

Kakashi, his entire body charred black, coughed out a cloud of smoke.

He couldn’t help thinking—

I actually got taken down by three Genin.

This is seriously embarrassing.

No one saw that, right?

As though remembering something, he casually turned his head toward the place where the ANBU was hiding.

That’s Yamato, isn’t it?

He won’t tell anyone, right?

In the distance, Yamato saw Kakashi looking in his direction.

He nearly burst out laughing.

Kakashi had been completely defeated by three Genin!

This scene alone was enough to provide Yamato with years of entertainment.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

At that moment, the alarm clock placed nearby rang.

Ten minutes had passed.

Naruto looked at Kakashi with an amused smile.

"Kakashi-sensei, does this mean we passed your test?"

Beside him, Sasuke raised his chin and glanced sideways at Kakashi.

During the battle just now, Sasuke hadn’t even gone all out.

If he used his Sharingan, Sasuke felt that he could probably go fifty-fifty with Kakashi.

After being brutally beaten by Kimimaro all this time, he had suddenly found an inexplicable surge of confidence.

Sasuke was feeling himself again!

Kakashi revealed an awkward smile.

"Congratulations. You’ve passed the test!

"Starting today, you are officially true Konoha Genin!"

As he spoke, his eyes drifted toward the golden chains binding his body.

The Adamantine Sealing Chains were strong enough that even the Nine-Tails couldn’t break free from them.

There was no way Kakashi could escape on his own.

He could only wait for Naruto to release him.

At this point, he had already lost enough face that he didn’t care about one more thing.

Seeing this, Naruto said nothing and simply released the Uzumaki secret technique.

The restraints around Kakashi suddenly loosened.

Kakashi staggered slightly before speaking.

"Today’s test is over. Meet at the Hokage Tower at nine tomorrow morning."

After throwing out those words, Kakashi immediately used the Body Flicker Technique and disappeared.

Naruto shook his head with a smile.

The three of them had merely been playing around with Kakashi.

There was nothing worth celebrating.

He turned toward Hinata.

"Hinata, I’ll walk you home."

Hinata was just about to happily agree when Sasuke spoke first.

"Naruto, I have something to discuss with you."

Naruto froze for a moment.

Seeing Sasuke’s serious expression, he could only turn toward Hinata.

"Hinata, wait here for a moment."

Hinata hesitated.

"Naruto-kun, if you have something to discuss, I can go home by myself."

Naruto waved his hand.

"It’s fine. It’ll be quick."

He already had a pretty good idea what Sasuke wanted to discuss.

"Mm."

Hinata glanced at Sasuke.

Seeing that he didn’t object, she softly nodded.

She then thoughtfully walked a little farther away to give them some privacy.

Naruto turned around.

"Go ahead."

Sasuke was silent for a moment.

Then he exhaled deeply, as though he had finally made up his mind.

"Naruto, you said before that once I awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and reached Jonin-level strength, you would tell me the truth about the massacre of my clan.

"I’ve already awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

"And now, I think I’m strong enough to be considered a Jonin."

After saying this, Sasuke looked at Naruto expectantly.

Sasuke had always used Kimimaro as his standard for Jonin-level strength.

That was why, even after awakening the Three-Tomoe Sharingan more than half a year ago, he hadn’t asked Naruto about the truth.

He believed he still wasn’t strong enough.

But after comparing himself to Kakashi today, Sasuke felt that he had finally made it.

Naruto couldn’t help shaking his head with a laugh.

Then his expression turned serious.

"Are you saying you think Kakashi is really only this strong?"

Sasuke stared directly at Naruto without saying anything.

He genuinely thought so.

The three of them had defeated Kakashi today.

Sasuke felt that even by himself, he could go fifty-fifty with Kakashi.

Kakashi hadn’t used his Sharingan or ninjutsu.

Sasuke hadn’t used his Sharingan either. He had only used the Great Fireball Technique and hadn’t even used any of his stronger ninjutsu.

He believed his Three-Tomoe Sharingan could completely overwhelm Kakashi’s single, unknown-tomoe Sharingan.

That was the absolute confidence of the Uchiha.

At the same time, Sasuke had complete confidence in his ninjutsu.

He believed that even Kakashi’s unrevealed techniques wouldn’t be enough to surpass him.
