24 Continuation

In a bush.....

"Okay, so he can use Earth Style. Should I send another group in to test if he has other elemental affinities? " Naruto asked his teammates. Satsuki shook her head.

"No, it's a waste of our time. We need to get the bells before time runs out or else we all fail." Satsuki replied seriously while Sakura cracked her knuckles. Naruto smirked.

"So we're all charging in then. Why don't you start us off, Satsuki?" Naruto asked. Satsuki nodded before weaving through some hand seals. She completed them in a blur.

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Satsuki declared before expelling a large fireball from her mouth. Kakashi turned to look at the fireball coming his way.

He quickly moulded chakra into his leg and jumped backwards from the incoming fireball. The fireball exploded on the place where he was previously standing.

Satsuki leaped out of her hiding spot and continued to spit out multiple fireballs of the same size at Kakashi who continuously jumped away from them.

Kakashi landed under a tree and looked at Satsuki who landed in front of him. "Impressive, to be able to perform a C-rank Jutsu multiple times without getting tired." Kakashi commented. Satsuki rolled her eyes.

"You should shut up and focus on the fight, Kakashi sensei."

"Oh? But I am focused—Woah!!! " Kakashi yelled as he was suddenly upside down. He looked to see his legs tied up by a rope which was hanging from a tree.

"Bleh!!!" Naruto who was standing on the tree Kakashi was hanging on stuck out his tongue playfully at him.

"Shannaro!!!!"

Kakashi widened his eyes as he saw Sakura diving towards him while stretching her hand out, intending to grab the bells tied onto his waist.

Kakashi used the Substitution Jutsu again and replaced himself with another tree stump. Sakura widened her eyes and crashed into the tree forehead first.

"Ow..." Sakura quickly recovered and hissed at the pain she was feeling on her forehead. Kakashi appeared far away from the three Genin while giving them an eye smile.

"Very good teamwork, you three. But it's still not enough. You need to do better than that. " Kakashi taunted them with a cheerful tone. Naruto landed beside his teammates and cracked his knuckles.

"And you need to be more cautious of your surroundings, Kakashi sensei!" Naruto replied confidently, making Kakashi raise an eyebrow at him.

"Now!!" Naruto shouted as 10 of his clones leaped out of the river behind Kakashi. Kakashi quickly turned around to look at the clones diving towards him with kunai in their hands.

The leading Naruto Clone dove towards Kakashi, intending to perform a diving headbutt. Kakashi raised his hands to block the attack. The clone slammed into Kakashi's hands which were making an X shape to block it.

*BAAM!!!*

Kakashi quickly punched the clone in the face, dispelling it. The real Naruto flinched a little when he received the memories of said clone. Even though he didn't feel the pain, it looked very painful.

Kakashi proceeded to quickly deal with the rest of the Shadow Clones. One clone tried to kick him which Kakashi ducked under, however another Naruto tried to knee him in the face.

Kakashi blocked it but was surprised at the Clones' coordination. 'He only had this Jutsu for a week but he's that good with it? Must be Minato sensei's talent and Kushina-san's innovative mindset.' Kakashi thought before managing to dodge a knee, punch, elbow combo from another Naruto.

Another Naruto came at kakashi from his blind side, attempting to steal the bells, but Kakashi heard the bells jingle when the clone Naruto got a finger on them.

He grabbed onto the Naruto behind him, forcing him in front as the other Naruto launched a punch at him. There was a poof of smoke as Naruto ended up hitting his clone.

"Damn." Naruto whispered while opening his shuriken holster. Satsuki performed a couple of hand seals while Sakura charged in, joining the clones in fighting Kakashi.

Satsuki clapped her hands together as she finished performing her hand seal necessary for her Jutsu.

"Fire Style: Multiple Fire Bullets!!!"

Satsuki shit out multiple flaming bullets at Kakashi who was caught off guard by the sudden attack after dispelling the last of Naruto's Shadow Clones.

Kakashi weaved through hand seals at blinding speeds. Tiger, hare, boar, ram, dog, ox and lastly snake. He then quickly placed his hands on the ground.

"Earth Style: Mud Wall!!!"

A featureless mud wall appeared in front of him, blocking the flaming bullets. Some minor explosions happened with the flaming bullets destroyed the mud wall a little.

It also created a bunch of smoke, blocking Kakashi's vision at the same time. Kakashi narrowed his eyes as he heard footsteps approaching him.

He looked to his right to see something penetrating the smoke. It wasn't a person, but just a kunai. The diversion worked as someone appeared behind Kakashi.

"Take this!!! Cherry Blossom Impact!!!!Shannaro!!!!"

*BAAAAAM!!!!!*

Kakashi grunted as he turned to look at who it was and was punched in the face by Sakura. Her punch was so powerful he slammed into the mud wall he created.

Sakura grinned as she attempted to snatch the bells from Kakashi. But she widened her eyes as another Kakashi shot out of the ground in front of her and grabbed her hand, stopping her from doing so.

"You have one hell of a punch, Sakura. If you enhanced it with chakra, my jaw would be broken." Kakashi commented while Sakura was being held down by the other Kakashi.

Using the Body Flicker Jutsu, Naruto appeared in front of the Kakashi clone and stabbed a kunai into the clone's heart, dispelling it and releasing Sakura from it's grasp.

Satsuki appeared beside Sakura and they all entered combat stances while looking at Kakashi with determined expressions.

"I must say, for a genin fresh out of the academy, you three fight like experienced chunin."

" I appreciate it, but flattery won't get you nowhere, Kakashi sensei!" Naruto replied with a grin on his face.

"Oh don't get me wrong kids, you still suck individually." Kakashi added as tick marks appeared on the three genins foreheads.

"At least we make up for it by working together, right guys?" Naruto asked his teammates who nodded back at him.

"Let's do this! We still got time!" Naruto declared before raising a kunai that made Kakashi widen his eyes in shock.

"Where did he even get that?" Kakashi whispered as he recognized the unique kunai Naruto was holding. He recognized them all too well.

Naruto was holding the Flying Thunder God Kunai which are custom-made kunai and signature tools of Minato Namikaze, who uses them in conjunction with his Space–Time Ninjutsu: the Flying Thunder God Technique.

They differ from a standard kunai in that they have three blades instead of one and the handle (which is thicker than normal) serves as the 'marker' for Minato's teleportation ability. Minato also said that these blades are a bit heavier than a normal kunai. Their prongs also make them more deadly in melee fighting.

'There's no way he can already do that jutsu.' Kakashi mused as Naruto threw the three pronged kunai at Kakashi who watched as it slowly advanced towards him.

Suddenly, Naruto appeared right beside the kunai and grabbed it while it was still flying and slashed it repeatedly at Kakashi who dodged them all.

Another Naruto charged towards Kakashi and leaped up to throw a kick at him. Kakashi grabbed the foot, blocking it. Naruto immediately followed up his combo with a punch and another kick from the opposite leg.

Kakashi blocked them all easily, he stared into the clone's eyes. Suddenly the clone grinned as his eyes turned into the Sharingan, shocking Kakashi.

"Genjutsu: Sharingan!" Naruto who was really Satsuki using the Transformation Jutsu used a Genjutsu on Kakashi with her One Tomoe Sharingan, causing instantaneous but temporary paralysis in him.

"Go go go!!!" Naruto shouted as the ten Shadow Clones he created all held down Kakashi. Sakura using the Body Flicker Jutsu, quickly appeared in front of him and reached for the bells.

Kakashi who already broke out of the Genjutsu, used his strength to release himself from the Clones' tight hold on him.

He quickly dealt with them and turned around to look at the three Genin who were looking at him with a serious expression.

*KRRRING!!!!!*

"Damn...." Sakura whispered as she looked at the clock that was ringing repeatedly. Naruto huffed and crossed his arms while Satsuki looked away.

Kakashi gave them an eye smile. "Well, it was a valiant effort, but in the end if was all for nothing. You three didn't get a bell, so all three of you failed the test and will be sent back to the academy for remedial classes together." Kakashi stated. Naruto raised an eyebrow at him and smirked at him.

" Really? Did we though? Check again, Kakashi sensei." Naruto had a large fox-like grin as he held up his right hand, revealing the two bells he was holding. He jingled them in front of a shocked Kakashi who looked at the place where he tied the bells.

"Huh?" Kakashi widened his eyes as he saw two small leaves replacing the bells. He looked back at Naruto for an explanation.

"It was when you were being held down by my clones. I had Sakura pretend to reach for it while one of the clones holding you dowm replace the bells with those leaves. " Naruto explained. Kakashi nodded, impressed that the blonde was able to come up with a plan that quickly.

'That is to be expected, he is sensei's son after all.' Kakashi thought before looking at Naruto.

"Well done Naruto. Now however, you need to decide who to give the bells to. After all, only two of you can pass. Choose wisely, Naruto. " Kakashi explained while looking into Naruto's bright blue eyes.

Naruto smiled as he tossed a bell at Satsuki and the other to Sakura. "An extra year couldn't hurt." Naruto shrugged as the other two looked at him with an expression of pure disbelief.

"You idiot!!" Sakura shouted before bonking him angrily on the head. Satsuki snorted before throwing the bell back at him.

"You got the bells idiot, not me. And I refuse to accept charity from you." Satsuki replied seriously. Sakura nodded before giving the bells back to Naruto.

" You girls need to relax. I have a way to make sure we all pass." Naruto revealed, making the two girls raise an eyebrow at him. Everyone watched as Naruto reached into his pouch and pulled out a little orange book.

"I made sure to get some added insurance." Naruto turned to look at a wide eyed Kakashi and grinned.

"Either you pass all of us, or I'll have Satsuki show you what a Fireball Jutsu can do to paperback—

"NO, NOT THE PRECIOUS!!!"

To be continued...

(No, Naruto cannot use the Flying Raijin just yet. He isn't that advanced in Fūinjutsu.)
