In reality, Kakashi was also having a hard time. The Sharingan was not omnipotent, and in the three-person battle, he was still hit by a punch from Sasuke and Naruto.
Fortunately, Naruto and Sasuke's Chakra control was insufficient, especially Naruto. The Dragon Elephant Art he used at this time had less than one-tenth of its usual power.
If the three of them continued like this, even if Kakashi could deal with Sasuke and Naruto, he would definitely be severely injured himself.
However, Sasuke made a mistake in the battle. He kept creating opportunities for Naruto, hoping that Naruto could successfully use the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
As long as they could exhaust Kakashi's Chakra, they would win.
Hmm, from this point of view, Sasuke couldn't be said to have made a mistake; he just wanted to win.
Unfortunately, the experienced Kakashi simply didn't give Sasuke a chance. No matter how Sasuke helped Naruto block punches, or entangled Kakashi using Flickering Shadow Step, it was all useless.
Finally, the heavily injured Sasuke was seized upon by Kakashi, who used Earth Release: Headhunter Jutsu to drag him into the ground, where he immediately fell unconscious.
Two members of the trio were knocked out, leaving only Naruto.
Originally, Kakashi wanted to act quickly and deal with Naruto directly, but then he suddenly remembered how Naruto had casually misused his Chakra when using Shadow Clone, as if it cost nothing. That arrogant behavior was simply asking for a lesson.
Hmm, this definitely wasn't him being envious or jealous of Naruto's Chakra reserves.
Absolutely not.
"Now, let me show you the Konoha Secret Taijutsu Profound Truth: A Thousand Years of Death."
Naruto's reaction had already become much slower at this point, and he couldn't parry Kakashi's attack at all.
However, when he heard A Thousand Years of Death and realized that Kakashi had already circled behind him, he showed a strange smile.
"Ding!"
"Creak."
"Ugh..."
The attack successfully landed, but Kakashi felt that the sensation was wrong. Before he could react to why Naruto's butt was so hard, the pain in his fingers almost made him scream.
Enduring the pain, Kakashi quickly retreated a few steps, looking at his index and middle fingers on both hands, finding that they were fractured.
"Hahaha, you didn't expect that, Kakashi-sensei."
Seeing Kakashi frown deeply, Naruto laughed heartily and then began to pull down his pants.
Don't misunderstand, Naruto wasn't a pervert, nor did he have exhibitionist tendencies. He did this entirely because of Ge Liang's instructions.
It turned out that yesterday, after Naruto inquired about Kakashi's intelligence, Ge Liang handed Naruto something and told him to wear it before the exercise.
If Kakashi didn't use A Thousand Years of Death, Naruto naturally wouldn't need to bother.
But if Kakashi did use it, then Naruto should take off his pants and mock him thoroughly.
After saying that, Ge Liang was afraid Naruto wouldn't agree, so he quickly coaxed him: Don't you want to see Kakashi's uncomfortable expression?
To be honest, Kakashi and Naruto didn't have any enmity, so doing this was really just asking for trouble.
But he also didn't want to refuse Ge Liang, so at that time, Naruto had already made up his mind that even if Kakashi used A Thousand Years of Death, he wouldn't take off his pants.
Who knew he would be beaten so badly by Kakashi today? To vent his anger, he had to let Kakashi see it properly.
"I didn't expect you to be wearing iron underpants."
That's right, what Ge Liang gave Naruto was a pair of iron underpants.
These iron underpants were not ordinary iron underpants; they were good stuff produced by the System.
This item was very heavy, not only protecting his private parts but also incidentally training his physical fitness.
This was one of the few things Ge Liang could buy in the System, apart from some daily necessities.
"Hahahaha, serves you right for using A Thousand Years of Death! Now you're getting your comeuppance."
It must be said, seeing Kakashi's pained expression, Naruto found it quite amusing.
Witnessing such an interesting scene, Naruto not only burst into wild laughter but also clapped his butt while laughing.
Kakashi, on the other hand, ignored Naruto and frowned, pondering something.
Whether it was the large bento box Naruto brought, Sakura's positioning, or now the iron underpants, it all pointed to one thing.
His intelligence had been severely leaked.
Most Konoha Ninja knew his personality, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out that he would be late.
The matter of the Sharingan was no secret in the Ninja world, but the three of them had just graduated; where would they have Ninja with good connections?
Furthermore, information regarding others' secret strengths, even fellow village Ninja generally wouldn't reveal it, right?
However, Sakura's positioning and sneak attack just now clearly indicated that she knew about his Sharingan.
Plus, the current A Thousand Years of Death.
This was invented by his father, Sakumo Hatake. Besides his father occasionally using it a few times, he himself had never used it once.
This first time using it, he encountered the legendary iron underpants.
Damn it, if he said no one was targeting him, he wouldn't even believe it himself.
So, who was targeting him?
Even if he was a bit lazy, liked to be late, and enjoyed being perfunctory, Kakashi knew he was a good Ninja.
Other Ninja villages were one thing, but in Konoha, there was no reason for him to be inexplicably targeted like this.
Is Asuma jealous of my handsomeness?
Or is Guy retaliating because I didn't fight him?
As he thought, Kakashi became lost in contemplation.
Naruto, who was still laughing heartily, saw Kakashi frowning in thought and felt it was an opportunity. He quietly took off his iron underpants, enhancing his mobility, then activated Divine Speed Hundred Changes, 'teleporting' in a flash to Kakashi's left-rear, reaching out to grab the bells.
"Stop messing around."
Kakashi, still deep in thought, wasn't so easily 'ambushed.' He instinctively delivered a solid slap to Naruto's face.
Then, Naruto also fell unconscious.
Knocked out!
...When Naruto woke up, he found that he, Sasuke, and Sakura were all tied to tree stumps.
"Yo, you're awake."
"Pfft! Hahaha."
As soon as he woke up, Naruto saw a bruised and swollen Sasuke greeting him.
Looking at Sasuke, who seemed to have been hit by a 'Facial Disfigurement Kick,' Naruto couldn't help but laugh.
Naruto's idiotic smile directly infuriated Sasuke, who angrily roared in shame, "What are you laughing at?! Do you think you look any better than me?!"
Well, pot calling the kettle black. Naruto's pig-headed appearance indeed gave him no right to mock Sasuke.
"I don't care, you still look hilarious right now."
"Bastard!"
Sasuke gritted his teeth, wishing he could immediately fight Naruto.
Unfortunately, he was also tied up by Kakashi and couldn't move freely.
Just then, Kakashi pulled out a mirror and silently held it in front of Naruto.
"Gasp~"
The moment he saw his own noble appearance, Naruto's smile abruptly stopped.
This time, it was Sasuke's turn to mock Naruto to his heart's content.
"Hahaha, see? With that pig-headed look, you still dare to mock me."
"Stinky Sasuke, shut up!" (σ-`д･´)
"I won't! If you're so capable, come and bite me! Nya nya nya nya nya!!!"
Ignoring the irritating Sasuke, Naruto turned to look at the calm Sakura and sighed, "Sakura is still the best. We're like this, and she hasn't mocked us."
"Uh... Naruto."
Hearing Naruto praise her, Sakura said awkwardly, "Actually, I already laughed before you two woke up. Now I really don't have the energy to laugh anymore."
Naruto:...Sasuke:...
