Naruto, my father's name is Uchiha Madara.

With one of Naruto's shouts, all the Narutos rolled up their sleeves and attacked Kakashi.

However, Kakashi was a genuine Jonin after all, and he seemed quite relaxed in the face of Naruto's attacks.

But as Naruto's clones were gradually destroyed, Kakashi also sensed that the remaining Naruto's speed and power were gradually increasing.

When Kakashi had eliminated half of them, he could clearly feel the pressure.

"Succeeded..."

Just as Kakashi was being attacked by Naruto's clones, one of Naruto's clones rushed over in the most direct way, reaching out to grab his waist.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

Suddenly, Sasuke leaped into the air and unleashed the maximum firepower he could muster.

"interesting……"

As soon as he sensed the Fireball, Kakashi had already formed hand seals and slammed his hands on the ground: "Water Release: Water Wall!"

Thick steam enveloped the entire training ground like a white curtain, instantly reducing visibility to its lowest point.

Kakashi's lazy gaze sharpened as he warily scanned his surroundings.

"Using water vapor to create a visual obstruction?" he muttered to himself. "Not bad tactical awareness..."

Before the words were finished, the sound of something cutting through the air came from all directions.

Dozens of shurikens pierced through the mist, tracing deadly arcs.

Kakashi dodged easily with a swift movement, but when he landed, he discovered that the ground was covered with steel wires as thin as hair.

"A trap?" He frowned slightly, about to leap up, when he discovered that the area above him was also covered with wire mesh.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Sakura pulling on the steel wire.

Sakura noticed this and quickly secured the wire mesh, disappearing from the spot immediately.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

At that moment, Sasuke's voice came from the depths of the mist, and dozens of small fireballs flew precisely along the trajectory of the steel wire.

The steel wire turned red-hot instantly under the high temperature, trapping Kakashi in a scorching cage.

"Well done!" Inside the sealed space, Madara nodded in approval, a rare occurrence.

Minato looked outside with concern: "But this is still not enough..."

"It's not over yet!" Naruto's voice suddenly came from underground in the real world, "Earth Release: Heart Decapitation Technique!"

The ground beneath Kakashi's feet suddenly cracked open, and a pair of hands grabbed his ankles.

This surprised Kakashi. Wasn't this what he had just used? He learned it after just one look?

However, Kakashi soon discovered that Naruto was not using real Earth Release, but rather imitating his inner decapitation technique by digging through the ground with his bare hands.

But this didn't give Kakashi much time to think. At this critical moment, Kakashi's figure suddenly turned into a wooden stake.

Hiding in the shadows, Sakura carefully observed the surrounding movements, trying to find Kakashi's location.

Meanwhile, the real Kakashi had already hidden himself away.

Kakashi's tone carried a hint of satisfaction: "Wow, the quality of this year's graduates is quite high. No wonder they're a top-three group in the grade."

None of the students I taught in the past have been able to learn to leverage their strengths and avoid their weaknesses like they do now.

For example, Sakura.

Knowing she couldn't confront them directly, she immediately chose to hide, offering only assistance and not showing herself.

As for the other two, they cooperated to maximize their advantages and keep him occupied.

Chapter 32 Victory! Itachi's Invitation

"Got you."

At that moment, Sasuke's Sharingan finally locked onto Kakashi's location, and he quickly formed hand seals, unleashing "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A massive fireball hurtled towards them, forcing Kakashi to form hand seals to defend himself once more.

However, this time, the fireball suddenly split into dozens of smaller fireballs as it approached him, attacking from different angles.

"Phoenix Flower Flame?" Kakashi's eyes narrowed slightly. "To be able to achieve this level at such a young age..."

He truly deserves to be called a genius with the highest overall academic performance in the grade!

Just as Kakashi was fully focused on dealing with the Fire Release technique, Naruto suddenly rushed out from the side: "Wind Release: Gale Palm!"

The violent airflow forced Kakashi back several steps, causing him to fall right into the trap area that Sakura had set up.

Dozens of explosive tags suddenly popped up from the ground, and the blinding flames instantly engulfed his figure.

"Did you succeed?" Sasuke asked, panting heavily.

After releasing so many Fire Release techniques in a row, Sasuke's chakra was almost depleted.

However, when the smoke cleared, Kakashi was found standing unharmed on a protruding rock, his clothes without a single wrinkle.

"Good teamwork," he commented casually, "but still a little lacking."

The three exchanged a glance and tacitly changed their tactics.

Naruto created a large number of shadow clones again, but this time they did not attack blindly. Instead, they moved around the perimeter in an organized manner, constantly throwing shuriken to harass the enemy.

After Sasuke ate a soldier pill to speed up his chakra recovery, he immediately activated the Sharingan at its full power.

His scarlet eyes were fixed on Kakashi's every move.

Sakura completely concealed her presence, wandering like a ghost along the edge of the battlefield.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" Naruto suddenly activated his ninjutsu, and a powerful gust of air stirred up a cloud of dust.

Kakashi was about to react when he realized that this wind-style attack was not aimed at him.

Instead, they rolled up all the fallen leaves in the training field, forming a natural barrier.

“Utilizing the environment to create advantages…” Kakashi nodded to himself, “Great progress.”

In the instant he was distracted, Sasuke suddenly appeared directly in front of him: "Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

The blazing fire shot straight towards him, and Kakashi was about to dodge when he found that his retreat had been blocked by Naruto's shadow clones.

In the nick of time, he had no choice but to form hand seals: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

However, the moment the earthen wall of dog heads rose, Naruto's voice rang out: "Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

However, when Naruto called it "Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique," it was actually all the Narutos around him throwing shuriken at the same time.

A torrential downpour of shuriken rained down on Kakashi's location.

"Brush brush..."

The dense sound enveloped Kakashi's location.

When the smoke cleared, only kunai and shuriken were scattered on the ground, but Kakashi was nowhere to be seen.

Kakashi sat leisurely on a tree trunk, his body not only unharmed but also completely free of dirt.

Kakashi joked, "Zero accuracy!"

Suddenly, Kakashi realized that his feet had been entangled in wires.

"When...?" He looked down in surprise and saw Naruto's shadow clone connected to the other end of the wire.

"We got him!" Naruto shouted excitedly, rushing towards the trapped Kakashi along with Sasuke.

A hint of admiration flashed in Kakashi's eyes, and his hands suddenly formed hand seals with astonishing speed: "Lightning Release: Lightning Tiger Slaughter!"

The dazzling lightning transformed into the form of a fierce tiger, instantly shattering all restraints.

But the moment he broke free, Sasuke's kunai was already pressed against his back, while Naruto's hand reached for the bell at his waist.

“It’s over, Kakashi-sensei,” Sasuke said coldly.

Kakashi suddenly laughed: "Really?"

The figure that was being held back by the kunai suddenly turned into a wooden stake.

The real Kakashi appeared three meters away, shaking two bells in his hands: "Unfortunately, time..."

His words came to an abrupt halt, for Sakura had somehow appeared behind him, holding a real bell in her hand.

“You taught us, Kakashi-sensei,” she said with a smile, “that ninjas must be adept at using illusions.”

Kakashi looked down at the "bell" in his hand and realized it was just two ordinary pebbles.

Kakashi shook his head helplessly and said with a faint smile, "Oops, I was careless."

The sun had completely sunk below the horizon, and the training ground was filled with the smoke of battle.

The three of them stood together, panting, with Sakura clutching the hard-won bell tightly in her hand.

Kakashi looked at them, recalling the battle they had just fought, and gently clapped his hands: "Congratulations, you've passed."

"Great!" Naruto cheered, looking up.

“But…” Sasuke looked at him warily, “you could clearly…”

"I did hold back," Kakashi readily admitted, "but I got serious later on, well... I used about six layers."

He walked towards the three men, his voice suddenly turning serious: "However, the teamwork and tactical awareness you displayed certainly met my requirements."

Inside the sealed space, Minato smiled with satisfaction: "They've grown up."

Ban gave a light snort: "Barely passing."

Nine-Tails excitedly wagged its tail: "Then what's wrong with your mouth? It's almost twisted up to your face!"

In the real world, Kakashi patted the three on the shoulders: "From today onwards, you are true ninjas."

He turned and walked deeper into the woods, his voice drifting back: "Meet at the village entrance tomorrow morning to officially begin your ninja career."

Just then, Itachi found the place: "Sasuke! Naruto!"

Upon seeing his older brother, Sasuke's cool expression instantly turned adorable, which piqued Sakura's curiosity.

Sasuke can actually make that kind of expression?
