Chapter 145 Naruto: Leave the rest to me
Cough!
Two diamond chains were driven straight into the ground.
As the chains twisted, Karin's body floated into the air.
Her eyes were fixed on the chakra fluctuations on the ground, while the remaining three chains behind her danced wildly, ready to shoot at Kakashi as he emerged from the ground.
A rustling sound rang out, and the ground loosened instantly.
Kakashi's two hands grabbed the exposed parts of the chains that were stuck in the ground.
Got it! ...Huh? ? ?
Kakashi's expression stiffened for a moment as he felt the hard chains in his hands, then he heard Karin's sly laughter.
"Hehehe, Kakashi-sensei, you miscalculated~"
Three chains shot toward Kakashi's upper body at incredible speed. Kakashi's upper body was temporarily sealed by the chains while his lower body was buried in the ground.
Oh no.
A strange look flashed in Kakashi's eyes before he was bound by three chains.
The powerful sealing technique directly suppressed Kakashi's chakra, and... Kakashi seemed to have no will to resist.
Karin manipulated the Adamantine Chains, hoisting Kakashi in front of her, raising an eyebrow as she looked at him.
No, almost the next moment, Karin's eyebrows furrowed.
This is a clone!
The chains tightened rapidly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and Kakashi's lightning clones transformed into specks of azure electricity that fell into the air.
not good!
Karin's senses expanded rapidly, and she then discovered a chakra fluctuation that was suppressing her own aura.
That was Kakashi's true form, and his location... was right behind her!
"Well, I was careless, Karin~"
Kakashi swiftly approached Karin, dodging the three slightly chaotic chains with his speed, and was about to strike Karin's neck.
In Karin's pupils, the white-haired figure drew ever closer, and his two eyes, one black and one red, magnified in Karin's gaze.
Oh no, we're going to capsize in the gutter!
His chains had been dodged, and Kakashi was now less than four meters away!
Sasuke-kun, I'm here to keep you company!
Karin closed her eyes somewhat resignedly and chose to give up.
As expected, the gap in combat experience is still too large?
"Thump!!!"
A gust of air blew onto Karin's face, fluttering her eyelashes.
Her eyelids twitched, and then she opened her eyes.
"Hey, Kakashi-sensei, I'll take over next."
A slightly lazy voice rang out, and in Karin's pupils, the figure of a long golden hair was reflected.
He stood in front of Karin, with a large golden chakra hand behind him supporting his height, thus catching Kakashi's attack from below.
Golden strands of hair danced in the air currents, a few landing on Karin's nose.
"Little sister, you can go down now. My grand finale is coming up next."
After exchanging blows with Naruto, Kakashi quickly retreated, his eyes fixed on Naruto, who was wearing a golden tailed beast cloak, with a million questions in his mind.
"Ah... Ouch!"
Karin regained her composure and voluntarily withdrew.
Although the test involved teaming up to grab bells, it seems these four have already started using Kakashi as a punching bag.
But Kakashi couldn't care less about that at that moment, because...
It's so similar...it's really too similar.
At this moment, Naruto and Minato bore a striking resemblance, with flowing golden hair and a burning golden tailed beast cloak. For a moment, Kakashi even saw a glimpse of Minato.
"Um, Kakashi-sensei, just one more reminder, you'd better go all out."
Naruto smiled faintly, then his figure disappeared from the spot, and a golden flash rushed towards Kakashi.
Wow, so fast!
Almost instantly, the three tomoe in Kakashi's left eye connected, forming a three-sided, wind-leaf-shaped pattern.
As Naruto's figure gradually became clearer, Kakashi's body reacted instinctively.
"Thump thump thump thump!"
Kakashi's fist swiftly collided with Naruto's fist. Although they appeared to be evenly matched, Kakashi knew he couldn't let Naruto hold him back.
The golden chakra covering Naruto's body burned his hands!
Tailed beast chakra? But why is it golden?!
Kakashi took advantage of an opportunity, took a punch from Naruto, and used the force to create distance between himself and Naruto.
The golden figure didn't choose to continue chasing, but instead stood still and watched Kakashi.
"Is Kakashi-sensei finally going to get serious?"
Naruto tilted his head, looked at Kakashi who was stretching out his body, and asked.
"Ah, with such capable subordinates, the teacher naturally has to put in some effort too."
[Eight Gates Formation - Gate of Life - Open!]
In Naruto's perception, Kakashi's chakra suddenly became more active, and a wave of energy spread out from Kakashi.
"That's... Kappa-san's ninjutsu?"
Naruto felt the jutsu looked very familiar, and memories began to surface; he recognized it.
"Hmm, it is indeed Guy's ninjutsu, but I am not as young as Guy, and I can only open up to the fifth gate at most."
Kakashi made no attempt to hide anything and confessed everything, knowing that Naruto and the others would eventually find out.
However, Kakashi didn't mention that he could actually open the Seventh Gate, but the price would be broken bones all over his body.
This was still his conservative estimate, because the last time he practiced with Guy, he opened the sixth gate, but in less than five minutes, he broke five ribs and tore his muscles.
The fifth gate is the most suitable choice for Kakashi.
However, when it comes to fighting Naruto, even though Naruto seems a bit too strong right now, there's no need for him to open the fifth gate.
The first three gates of the Eight Gates Formation—Opening Gate, Resting Gate, and Life Gate—do not cause much harm to the body.
However, starting from the fourth gate, Injury Gate, it begins to put a strain on the body.
Kakashi's physical strength couldn't compare to Guy's muscular monster, and he didn't want to seriously injure himself in a fight over the bell.
Therefore, he only opened the third door.
Moreover, he found himself gripping the white blade again without even realizing it.
Kakashi was now serious.
Seeing this, Naruto smiled calmly and then looked at Hinata in the distance.
Hinata nodded upon seeing this, then gently picked up a longsword that Naruto had placed on the ground and tossed it to Naruto.
The sound of air being torn apart rang out again, and the longsword flew into Naruto's hand like a rainbow, making Kakashi's eyelids twitch wildly once more.
The longsword, which was originally only a dark metallic color, fell into a hand that radiated golden light, and chakra spread from Naruto's hand to the longsword.
Whoosh!
Naruto raised his golden sword, the tip pointing directly at Kakashi!
