The Real Gennin Test - 2

[Last chapter]

The water bullet barrage tore through the mud walls, but got dissolved in doing so. Kakashi was going to sigh and once again taunt Naruto when he heard a roar. He looked to his left side and saw a large dragon made up of water glaring at him with glowing yellow eyes, leading him to sweatdrop.

[Now]

Kakashi uncovered his other eye with a murmur of 'Sharingan!' He then went through 47 hand seals in immense speed declaring "Suiton: Syuiryudan no jutsu (water style: water dragon bullet)."

Before Kakashi's technique could be formed, Naruto's dragon collapsed into it completly wasting the high chakra consumption technique and sent Kakashi flying.

"Suiton: suiryuu kobaku (water style: bite of the explosive dragon)" Naruto called as a water dragon formed just above Kakashi's head and shot down at him with high speed.

Kakashi formed a hand seal, resulting in formation of 1 copy of his. They both bumped their fists and ran in opposite direction, and jumped towards the lethal attack.

"Raiton: Raiden (Lightening style: lightning cable)". A bridge of pure lightning formed between both his hands and tore through Naruto's offensive technique.

"To think you would easily disable such a technique sensei." Naruto said amazed but sweatdropped whe he saw Kakashi panting "Ok, not that easily."

Kakashi didn't have much chakra or stamina until 4th war. The hokage Kakshi was very strong able to go on fighting for very long time with wide area techniques such as purple lightning. But before that he would allways face chakra exhaustion after one on one fights with A rank shinobis and above.

Kakashi was much more efficient in assasination and hostage situations, hence the top ranks in black ops.

"Say Naruto, where is Sakura." Kakashi questioned.

"Secure, with her current skill she is liability to the team, which may lead to hostage situation giving you upper hand. She is a teammate so we can't leave her behind, so we secured her." Naruto replied.

'W-well atleast he didn't abandoned her.' Kakashi winced as he thought about how much hassle it would be to bring Sakura on correct shinobi part.

"Doton: Iwadeppo no jutsu (Earth style: Stone pistol technique)", Naruto declared as he shot multiple stone at Kakashi which kept increasing their size as they got closer to him.

To Naruto's surprise, Kakashi let then hit. After taking all hits, Kakashi burst into lightning with declaration of "Raiton Kage bunshin no jutsu (Lightning shadow clone technique) destroying all of Naruto's earthen projectile.

Naruto immidietly recovered himself jut in time to see many Kunai's coming towards him with explosive note at their back.

Naruto understood, his sensei wants to channel raiton jutsu through water droplets, that will be splashed due to explosive tags. He jumped back and as soon as the Kunai's landed into water, Naruto had finished his hand seals "Doton: Doryu Taiga (Earth style: Mud flow river)".

Kakashi, who had Chiddori ready to plunged through water splashes, was surprised to see mud intead of water. His chiddori dispersing due to lower conductivity of mud as compared to water.

He didn't even have time to correct himselves as he heard Naruto calling out "Doton:Doryuudan no jutsu (Earth style: Earth dragon bullet)". A head of Dragon, towering over Naruto formed and it shot hardened mud through it's open maw, towards Kakashi.

Kakashi started his handsigns for Earth wall, but he saw something that surprised him. 'It can't be, can it? 3 elements at such young age. Only Sandaime sama did it before at such young age.'

Naruto had stopped his handseals at tiger "Katon: Karyuudan no jutsu (fire style: fire dragon bullet technique)".

Naruto breathed fire on the mud construct, doing a combination technique Sarutobi would be proud of.

Kakashi didn't have any choice other than to flee from the position. He dodged every burning mud bullets by switching placed with one of his shadow clones. Naruto had seen the Kawarimi, Kakashi had done, which Kakashi hadn't expected anyone under rank of jounin able to do so.

The head of mud dragon that was shooting mud bullets rised above the mud river, forming it's complete body and shot towards Kakashi "Doton: Doryu-kodan no jutsu (Earth style: Dragon missile technique)".

Kakashi had already completed his own hand signs "Raiton: Raiju Tsuiga no jutsu (Lightning style: lightning beast tracking fang technique)"

which resulted in large sized bulldog colliding and destroying mud dragon and continuing its way towards Naruto.

Kakashi was sure, Naruto will be knocked out with this but was again surprised as Naruto's hand signs stopped at bird "Fuuton: Tsumujitoshi (wind style: whirlwind drop)". A medium sized Tornado formed in the sky and literally dropped itself upn Kakashi's technique dispersing it.

'4 elements. And he is throwing high chakra consuming technique like Kunais and Shurikens' Kakashi thought panting. It was humiliating. He had to use the sharingan against a gennin and had nearly emptied his reserves fighting 2 of them.

Meanwhile Naruto had to agree Kakashi was skilled 'He had been fighting not only my elemental techniques and countering them, but also the water and mud clones I formed in taijutsu. I am sure, I am currently at least on Kakashi's level without using wood release and he still is able to fight me after having a heavy spar with Sasuke who himself is as powerful as a high level chunnin.'

Sasuke dropped at Naruto's side as he looked at devastion around his training ground.

"Hn, didn't you said that you are hiding your abilities." Sasuke asked.

"Who says I have revealed them all." Naruto replied with smirk.

They both started to go on with handsigns simultaneously "Combination technique: Fuuton: Senpuken (wind style: whirlwind fist)/ Katon: Endan (fire style: flame bomb)".

Naruto's wind technique combined with Sasuke's fire, giving it Shape whirling sphere and launched it at Kakashi, who himself launched his own technique "Suiton:Suiryuudan (water style: water dragon bullet)".

The collision of techniques created large amount of steam which spread through the training ground making visibility difficult.

"Doton: Iwa sherutã no jutsu (Earth style: Rock shelter technique)". A dome of rock formed around and above, Naruto and Sasuke.

"Kai!" Naruto said as he released every single trap he had laid on the training ground.

Loud explosions and sizlings were heard as the traps started their work. After some times, when the traps had all been used, Naruto and Sasuke came out as the dome around them dissolved.

Naruto's instinct kicked in as he hurriedly Kicked Sasuke away, and himself springed back from where they were standing. His actions prooved right as Kakashi, who now supported torn t-Shirt and shinobi pants with one of I sleeve was torn upto his knees. But, the mask was still completly safe.

Before they could do anything Kakashi stopped them "Time up my cute little gennins. You have shown enough teamwork by fighting along each other and securing your third teammate instead of leaving her to her own devices. That means you have already grasped the meaning behind this test was teamwork. In shinobi world, the ones who abandon the rules are trash, but ones who abandons their comrades are worse than trash."

Kakashi shows them the memorial stone and explained how every dead hero of Konoha was mentioned there. He then told them to meet at 7:30 next day and shunshined to Hokage's office to report about team 7.

[Hokage's office]

The Hokage and others winced at seeing Kakashi's state of dress as he entered the office.

He eyesmiled and gave a thumbs-up "Team 7, qualifies!"

"Report Kakashi!" Hokage ordered.

"First of all I would want to inform Hokage sama that the academy reports are useless. Haruno Sakura was said to be smartest student and pro efficient in recognising and breaking out of genjutsu. To my utter disappointment, she fell for a D-rank genjutsu." Kakashi informed the Hokage.

Kurenai winced as someone who was said to be good at her art, failed spectacularly.

"The reports of Uchiha Sasuke being a genius in Taijutsu and Ninjutsu are correct. But there was no mention that he have a two tomoe sharingan in each eyes. He was also able to use High ranking Katon techniques and to my utter shame, was able to put me in sharingan genjutsu twice. Though unlike the reports that said about him being the lone wolf, he worked like well oiled machine with Naruto and helped him secure Sakura so that she doesn't falls in hostage situation. He was also able to use a combination technique with Naruto."

The occupants of Hokage office were quite surprised at skill of the last loyal Uchiha.

Hokage nodded "Yes, I have known he had the sharingan that he awakened during spars with Naruto. These spars would be also the reason for him working well with Sasuke and combination technique."

Kakashi continued "As for Naruto, academy records say that he was good at taijutsu and ninjutsu, while he would had problems with genjutsu. It also said that he wasn't able to to do clone technique. Hokage-sama, Naruto used total 3 types of clones in today's training, being shadow clones, water clones and mud clones. About being good at Taijutsu, I can say he is pretty good in it using the mixture of Academy style and bit of Gai's strong fist. And I didn't check him on genjutsu but for ninjutsu he is complete beast. Not only did he used multiple high ranking suiton and doton techniques on me, he also showed pro efficiency in using katon to enhance his doton techniques not unlike you Hokage Sama and Fuuton to counter my lightning techniques and in the combination technique I mentioned earlier. In addition to that he is also proefficient in fuinjutsu"

If the jounins and chunins present were shocked about the last Uchiha's prowess, they were completly blown by Naruto's stats. Uzumaki Naruto had rised in ranks among academy and have allways ranked in top 5, but the progress according to report of Kakashi was too much compared to academy records.

Hokage blew puff of smoke from his mouth "Yes, Naruto had asked me for techniques in place of halving his income, he gets from working as one of my assistant. Ofcourse, I didn't give him new techniques until he completly masters the previous ones, but still in last 4 years it is to be expected he have vast pool of ninjutsu. For other shinobi arts, Naruto actually idiolises Shodaime Hokage, who was said to be 'Man of thousand skills', so he also soughts to master as much Shinobi arts as he could. He have also shown intrest in 'Iryo ninjutsu' and 'genjutsu' which I informed hum would be quite difficult because of his high chakra reserves. Instead of being disappointed, he started to work extra hard on his chakra control. I am pretty sure, his dream of being Hokage isn't that far fetched."

"Anyways enough of these talks. Now are you all ready for your gennin's reaction at their first D-ranked missions." Hokage grinned wickedly, which was mirrored by almost all of Jounin sensei.
