Kakashi successfully used Earth Release to restrict Naraku's movements, and Might Duy seized the opportunity to leap into the air, spinning his body on the way down to increase the power of his whip kick.
Naraku couldn't dodge in time and had to take the full force of the blow, getting sent flying.
The animation of this fight was incredibly fluid, and the camera work made every move appear swift and sharp, full of oppressive power.
[Holy crap, that kick!]
[No way, is Uncle Duy that fierce?]
[That must be a broken bone.]
[If he wasn't fierce, would Kakashi have invited him to team up?]
[Uncle Duy is so strong, why is he still a Genin?]
[Sigh, Uncle Duy clearly doesn't have the talent for navigating the workplace; he's incredibly straightforward, so slow promotion is understandable.]
Naraku and Kakashi's Chakra was completely depleted, so the training had to pause.
Might Duy laughed, "You're still growing, you know, so this is completely normal. You need to eat more to grow up quickly!"
[Eat up, grow tall!]
[The blue bar isn't long enough.]
[Too young, not enough Chakra.]
[After all, they're not Senju or Uzumaki.]
This episode ended, and Naraku clicked on the next episode to continue watching.
The bustling examination hall suddenly fell silent when Naraku's group of three entered, then the murmuring discussion swelled into a cacophony.
[You guys can be as sour as you want, nyah nyah nyah!]
[Kakashi is just amazing, so what!]
[The "Seemingly Weak Uncle."]
[Don't beg for mercy when Uncle Duy blows you away later; I'll consider you a man.]
[Don't speak so confidently, or the wind might just bite your tongue.]
After the Examiner announced the rules, the examination hall immediately became as noisy as a marketplace.
Naraku's team had no one to cooperate with and only found teammates at the very end.
[Hahahahahaha, Small, Medium, Large.]
[Did the instructor laugh the first time they met?]
[Did the teacher responsible for assigning classes deliberately put them together?]
[Teacher: I'm such a little genius.]
Upon reaching the mission location, after an internal discussion, the team decided to ignore the other team for now and prioritize the mission.
Kakashi, Naraku, and Kobayashi Masaru were responsible for infiltration, while the others remained outside to provide support.
[I know why Uncle Duy isn't a Chunin; this exam really isn't for him.]
[Given Uncle Duy's personality, he'd probably charge straight in, yelling about passion and youth.]
[As long as I pulp them, it's a successful infiltration.]
[Uncle Duy: What infiltration? Just go berserk!]
Encountering a guard on the way, Kobayashi Masaru kept watch from the side while Kakashi attacked first, controlling one guard. Naraku then deftly dealt with the remaining one using Genjutsu.
When interrogating for information, the guard was about to resist, but Kakashi slit his throat, and the guard immediately revealed the location of the intelligence.
The animator, from various angles and with many close-ups, meticulously showcased the duo's fluid operation. The camera techniques and light and shadow composition were truly professional among professionals, masters among masters, thoroughly impressing the audience.
[Wire restraint, kunai to the neck—Kakashi's move here feels so much like a ninja.]
[Kakashi: This is what you call a traditional ninja (leans back).]
[Tell those guys in the giant robots to come see; this is how a ninja should be (pointing fingers.jpg).]
[Blown away by two elementary schoolers.]
[Was Naraku using Genjutsu?]
[Definitely, after all, he has a strong family background.]
[Damn it, Kakashi, why are you rewarding him (annoyed)?]
[The pervert before is also a heavy-hitter.]
[Extra: Not cool, bro, you're for real?]
[Extra: I'm just here for extra work money, why do I have to risk my life?]
[He's so ruthless, I love it.]
[Kakashi will definitely be a cool, stoic guy in the future.]
[Finally, it's the cool guy's turn to be the protagonist!]
[The contrast in Kakashi's attitude when facing enemies versus Naraku is too great (laughs).]
[I never expected to ship them from this angle.]
The closer they got to the target, the stronger the defenses became, and Naraku volunteered to lure the enemy.
Just as the audience wondered how he would do it, a patrol team turned a corner.
The moment the ninja at the front of the team turned, the screen showed his perspective:
A blurry black shadow pounced from the wall. He was momentarily dazed, then his vision went black.
[High energy ahead!]
[High energy ahead!]
[High energy ahead!]
Red bullet comments were dense, and later viewers were puzzled.
The scene switched to a third-person perspective.
A bright flash of a blade reflected in everyone's eyes.
Immediately after, the ninja at the front of the team, who had been attacked, gushed large amounts of blood from his chest and neck, making a chilling gurgling sound, instantly staining the entire wall and ceiling red.
Thick blood filled the view, falling like rain, even splattering a few drops on the screen as if the camera itself existed, slowly sliding down and leaving streaks of blood.
After a brief silence, the sound of the body hitting the ground echoed down the corridor.
The black shadow traversed the walls and ceiling, circled above their heads, and darted to the back of the team. Again, there was the dull thud of a sharp weapon piercing flesh and a heavy object falling.
The eerie and terrifying background music gradually increased in volume. The camera panned from bottom to top, showing Naraku kneeling, pulling a kunai from the second corpse.
Warm, crimson blood splattered half his face. Coupled with his subtle, provocative smile, he looked arrogant and eerie.
The bullet comments completely erupted.
[Holy crap!]
[That brutal?!]
[Too violent.JPG]
[Ah ah ah ah ah Naraku baby, what are you doing (horrified)?]
[Help, I wasn't ready for Naraku to become an adult yet ahhhhh!]
[What the hell are you saying, person in front!]
[Kakashi: Is my partner crazy?]
[That amount of bleeding definitely means he's done for.]
[No, these are people from the village ahhhhh!]
[Extra: Nobody told me it would be for real death QAQ!]
[Run, what are you waiting for!]
