He sways but does stay up, running entirely on hatred at this point. It's even more impressive because Kakashi was pretty sure the Uchiha had actually lost consciousness. Sasuke lifts himself on trembling arms and somehow staggers to his feet. "If you use it in a serious fight, then I will pour my heart and soul into learning your stupid move." "If you." he has to take a moment because his vision is overrun with spots. In fact, the jutsu I just showed you won me the match." "Maa, you know," Kakashi makes gestures to his left, where a tree just so happens to be merrily burning away. Sakura raises her head wobbly and glares with all of her strength left. "No, I bet you made it up when I fought you during the bell test."īoth of those points are true, but Kakashi decides that none of his cute little students need to know. "I bet you've never used it in a real fight your entire life," Naruto scoffs. "I'm a ninjutsu master I think I know my attacks." "I don't know where this doubt comes from," Kakashi hums in mock concern. Another few strands of grass are sent vaguely at the jonin. "That monstrosity of a joke is not a jutsu," Sakura hisses, still face down in the grass and completely uncaring. "You got an awesome jutsu!" Kakashi chirps. Sakura weakly rips up a few pieces of grass and limply flops her wrists around to send it in Kakashi's direction. "Your aim also got significantly better somewhere between running out of shuriken and sharpening the rocks. "I'm honestly impressed." He looks behind him at the wave of decimated trees that took the brunt of every attack. "I was not expecting that kind of stamina," he admits. Kakashi peers down at them, his one eye wide and innocent. When they run out of weapons they resourcefully improvise by throwing rocks and snapping off nearby tree branches to use as javelins.Įventually a large circle of destruction is made in the training grounds and the poor little kids run out of steam to keep them going. The three don't hesitate what so ever, smoothly transitioning from close range combat to hurling weapons and jutsu at Kakashi. Kakashi calmly dislocates all their left ankles because while he could just slap them around a little, the Hokage probably wouldn't respond well to the excuse 'it was in self-defence' after finding them in the hospital. In a stunning show of teamwork, all three of them band together and launch a rather aggressive attack. He then straightens up and smiles brightly at his genin. "One Thousand Years Of Death," Kakashi deadpans unenthusiastically and lamely jabs at the air in front of him a little bit. In a split second, the dangerous aura around Kakashi vanishes, replaced by a bored teacher messing with his students. Sasuke leans forward while Sakura pulls back in fright and Naruto gapes. no one ever expects this." He lets out a stabilizing breath and flashes through hand signs faster than they can track. "The best weapon is one no one ever sees. "It's a way to break moral, to distract and greatly injure all in one," Kakashi reveals, shifting in stance. The three of them shiver at the seriousness radiating off their usually lax teacher.
"This is a very dangerous attack for people of your skill level," Kakashi warns. They somehow manage through sheer will power (certainly not through skill) and he can't exactly go back on his word. He expects Naruto to actually become Hokage before they succeed, but that's just not the kind of day Kakashi is having. Kakashi agrees to teach his cute little genin if they capture and return Tora in under ten minutes. The jonin is slowly being driven insane by their high-pitched little tween voices that sound like a balloon rapidly losing air with it's opening stretched to make that damn 'eeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiii' sound and oh God Kakashi can't take this any more. It's not just Naruto either, it's also Sasuke and Sakura and for some reason Asuma's kids are also whining at Kakashi. It's several weeks after graduation from the Academy and the children won't stop complaining.
