Chapter 10- Team 7 vs Kakashi

"Impressive," Kakashi said before he substituted with a log and stabbed Naruto from behind with a kunai in his hand, drawing blood, "But I'm a Jounin for a reason you know."

"Yeah," Naruto said unphased before he disappeared in a puff of smoke. Now a new Naruto came in from behind Kakashi and kicked Kakashi off the branch "And so was Asuma."

While Kakashi was falling off the branch, he only had one thing on his mind, "Did he actually?"

This thought distracted him enough so that when he landed, on his feet, he didn't notice a Naruto shadow clone come in from next to him and trip him. Then as Kakashi was falling, a second clone came in and kicked him square in the back, causing him to fly upwards. But this didn't last long as the original Naruto jumped from the branch with the intent of knocking Kakashi back to the ground.

But unfortunately, Kakashi had enough time to react to this, so as Naruto went for the kick, Kakashi managed to grab his leg, and throw him towards the ground at the two clones. The clones dodged this, and Naruto landed gracefully on the ground, and the fact that a crater didn't form reminded Kakashi of something.

"I see you decided not to wear your weighted cloak before the battle, is there a reason?" asked Kakashi as he reached the ground.

"I just moved my resistance seals up to level seven just yesterday, and I guessed that moving around with the level seven seals is hard enough without the additional 70 kilos," said Naruto.

"Level seven, 70 kilos, WHAT ARE THESE NUMBERS DOING WITH AN ACADEMY GRADUATE!?" thought Kakashi in a minor outrage.

"Now, enough chit-chat, time to get serious."

After Naruto said this, Naruto's two clones stepped in front of Naruto and started forming hand signs, then…

(I decided that I will do the jutsus in Japanese and put the English translation after it)

"Katon: Karyuu Endan (Fire Style: Fire Dragon Missile)," Both Naruto's intoned in sync as they filled their lungs to past normal capacity with air, and flooded their mouth with fire chakra. As they violently exhaled, two streams of fire fired at Kakashi at deadly speeds, and Kakashi had to take immediate measures.

Kakashi immediately flashed through six hand signs and flooded his mouth with water style chakra before saying, "Suiton: Suijinheki (Water Style: Water Wall)"

After he said that, a large amount of water exited Kakashi's mouth at high pressures and took up a large area before colliding with the fire. Originally, the water was winning, but as the clones put more chakra into the two streams of fire, it started to balance out, but that was before the real Naruto decided to fan the flames.

After five hand signs from the original, he also decided to fill his lungs past capacity before… "Fuuton: Daitoppa (Wind Style: Great Breakthrough)"

As the original Naruto exhaled, high-pressure wind exited his mouth… and a lot of it. When it interacted with the fire, it almost seemed like the fire was going to go out for a second, before it turned into a raging storm. The flames became white and glowed to a blinding extent, the fire streams grew exponentially compared to what it once was, and the speed of the fire grew as well… and this presented a challenge for Kakashi.

You see… when the flames grew so hot, fast and large he was forced to go full throttle on the water wall, which worked but presented other issues. Kakashi was using too much chakra for his jutsu, and he knew it, so in order to avoid wasting half of his chakra on a jutsu struggle, he went with a different strategy. Kakashi immediately stopped his jutsu, and just barely dodged the stream of white flames. Now, Kakashi was running around Naruto in a large circle, to which Naruto and the clones just twisted to compensate, constantly re-aiming the flames to hit Kakashi. And once the fire got dangerously close, he flashed through four hand signs and said, "Doton: Doryuuheki (Earth Style: Mud Wall)"

He then slammed his palms on the ground and out came a seven foot tall, upwards of twelve-foot wide, wall of pure stone. The flames had a bit of trouble getting rid of it, so instead of wasting unnecessary chakra, the three stopped what they were doing, and the two clones made three hand signs before, "Raiton: Jibashi (Lightning Style: Electromagnetic Murder)"

From that, two streams of pure electricity charged at the wall, and once it hit, it forced the wall to shatter due to the "earth is weak to lightning" rule. As the wall was shattering, the real Naruto stared from behind his two clones at said wall, awaiting the rocks full fracture. When the wall inevitably crumbled, Naruto saw that Kakashi wasn't there, so he knew what happened.

The original Naruto jumped off the ground and immediately started forming hand signs. At two hand signs, Kakashi's arms, covered in chakra, came out of the ground, and grabbed an ankle of each of the two clones respectively and "popping" them, at four hand signs, Kakashi's face could be seen as it popped out of the ground, and when Naruto was done forming the jutsu and had his pointer finger and thumb in the shape of a circle over his mouth, Kakashi was less than a yard away from him… but he wouldn't make it on time.

"Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu)" said the, now only, Naruto as he exhaled. Faster than any spectator thought Kakashi could dodge, a fireball approximately a meter in diameter came through the circle Naruto made with his two fingers and flew straight at Kakashi, and it looked like it hit. But when the flames dissipated, he could see the log of wood from earlier turned to charcoal.

Looking back and up, Naruto could see Kakashi standing on the branch that he kicked him off of earlier. He turned around to face him as he jumped off of the branch, and a new dialogue has begun.

Sasuke saw the entirety of this match, the shadow clones, the massive flames, the lightning, all of it. And while he was decently surprised with Kakashi, Naruto was a whole different ballpark. I mean, he's younger than Sasuke himself by over two months.

"That is impressive," thought Sasuke, completely dumbfounded, "Glad to know he won't hold me back."

"I see you weren't kidding," said Kakashi, "I've already used over a third of my chakra, and you're the one using all the flashy jutsu."

"So you're admitting I'm better?" asked Naruto with a shit-eating grin on his face.

"Not yet, I have a trick or two yet unshown," said Kakashi.

"Same for me… so let's step it up a notch," Naruto said with his eyes closed… only to open them a second later, and they looked different. The white parts stayed the same, and the pupils too, but besides that, everything is different. The areas once inhabited by ocean blue, became blood red, and it didn't stay at that, in fact, there were three, curved raindrop shapes surrounding the pupil… what those who know the Sharingan call tomoes.

"How in the F*CK does Naruto have the Sharingan?" thought Sasuke, "Do I have family after all? No… impossible, he must have stolen them."

Kakashi's eye went wide in absolute surprise at the site, a child of his age mastering the sharingan, it's been unseen or heard of since Itachi, and Kakashi could not suppress his curiosity.

"S-Since when?" Kakashi couldn't help but ask.

"Remember the Suna Nukenin?" said Naruto.

"That was before you turned seven," said Kakashi, "You've had it for that long?"

"What no," said Naruto as the most cocky smirk in all of history made its way to his face, "That was when I unlocked my third tomoe."

"W-What?" half-asked Kakashi before he started to calm down, "Well, you've had a lot of experience with it then, let's see how it stands up to mine."

As he said that, Kakashi reached for his Hitai ite and slowly lifted up the part covering his left eye. As it came off, Naruto and the two other secret spectators (Sasuke and Sakura if you didn't get that) saw his eye closed, soon to be opened to reveal the same kind of eye Naruto had. Which only served to aggravate Sasuke even more.

"So, I see you're finally taking me seriously," said Naruto.

"Well, I can't let you guys pass that easily," said Kakashi, "I need to hold out until you've demonstrated the skill needed to pass."

"Cut the crap, don't say 'the skill' like we don't know, I know you heard the conversation," said Naruto as he got his fingers into the cross shape we are all so familiar with.

"I see you have quite the reserves, but it takes more than that to hold me off," said Kakashi.

"We'll see," said Naruto as nineteen more Naruto came into existence in puffs of smoke. Naruto then turned to the rest of the clones before announcing the plan, "Everyone get into formation, twelve of you go stall Kakashi as me and seven others charge up that jutsu."

"If he's willing to use twelve shadow clones to stall for time, this must be one hell of a jutsu," Kakashi thought and he put his two pointer and middle fingers in the cross shape, creating five more Kakashis, "And I'm sure as hell not eager to figure out what it is."

So the real Naruto and seven others ran back to perform the jutsu while the twelve clones stood about twelve feet in front of the six Kakashis, in position to hold them back for however long it takes. After about four seconds, the eight Narutos in the back decided to start slowly forming hand signs, and at that, the battle begun.

The six Kakashi's ran towards the twelve Narutos and an all out brawl of taijutsu came into play. The Narutos were beating the Kakashis until the Kakashis decided to insert small amounts of electricity into their arms, making the Naruto clones dissipate on contact. Until the Naruto clones did the same thing with wind, and since lightning is weak to wind, it was the Kakashi clones' turn to dissipate. Eventually, they made a temporary stop with the Naruto clones standing in a circle around the Kakashi ones eight to four, and as the clones preparing the jutsu reached their fifteenth hand sign, the Narutos got back to work.

Four of the Naruto clones surrounding the Kakashi ones jumped back as the other four started flashing through hand signs, "Doton: Doryutaya (Earth Style: Great Mudflow)"

As he said this, the ground in front of the four Narutos surrounding Kakashi and his three clones turned to a thick mud and rushed at the four Kakashis. And while three of them jumped upwards and managed to narrowly escape, one of them tripped and got stuck at the intersecting mudflows, causing its dissipation at the hands of the mud.

And the other three Kakashi's retaliated in response. As they were in the air over the converging mud rapids the three Kakashis blazed through four hand signs before, "Raiton: Kagekiha (Lightning Style: Emotion Wave)"

After they said that, three wide-spread waves of pure electricity spread over the entire area of the four clones, and caused mass electrocution for the four of them. This soon became smoke as the four clones dissipated, leaving the three Kakashis wide open.

The four Narutos made seven hand signs, the last of which being the tiger seal pointed in the direction of the three Kakashi's as they said in unison, "Fuuton: Kazekiri no Jutsu (Wind Style: Wind Blade Jutsu)"

Each clone launched a crescent blade of wind at the falling Kakashis, hoping to get both of the clones out of the way to make their job easier… and they half succeeded.

As the blades of wind approached the three freefalling Jounin, it became apparent that Kakashi was no ordinary one. He had the Sharingan, and he decided to make good use of it. The three of the clones moved their body mid-air while constantly checking for the trajectory of the projectile wind blades. This worked for two of them, but it was impossible for the third so he ended taking it head on, splitting in half before vanishing in a puff of smoke.

Then, after the Clones landed, came another short standoff. He three of the four Naruto clones stared intently at the two Kakashis, but then there was one who was focusing on how the jutsu was going, and let out a grin at how close they were.

This didn't go unnoticed by the Kakashis however, "I see the jutsu is nearing completion… I can't allow that."

Then, one of the Kakashis made five hand signs before saying, "Doton: Rokusupaiku no Jutsu (Earth Style: Earthen Spikes Jutsu)"

After he said that, eight large spikes of stone came out of the ground in a circular formation around the four clones and converged on them, eventually forming a pyramid that popped three of the clones. But the fourth clone ducked to dodge.

The Kakashis assumed that the last clone got stuck within the pyramid of spikes so they decided to run at the ones forming the large jutsu, but when they were less than 30 ft away the ground beneath them suddenly blew up. This forced one of the clones to pop and the real Kakashi to get flown back, partially injured, but it wasn't until the clone came out of the ground that Kakashi realized what happened.

"Doton: Shinju Zanshu no jutsu (Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu)" said the Naruto clone as he got out of the ground.

"But how, I learned that technique from copying an Iwa nin, how would you know it?" asked Kakashi as he shaked off the dizzyness in his head.

"I didn't about a minute ago," said Naruto.

"Wait… does that mean?" asked Kakashi, assuming Naruto already knew what he was talking about.

"Yup, I had my Sharingan on the whole fight, just under transformation to make it look like my real eyes," said Naruto, "It's funny really, I didn't know a single one of the jutsu you used this fight, but now I have five new ninjutsu in my repuatuare, making that 30 ninjutsu.

"Hmph… that is quite impress… wait," said Kakashi as he realized what just happened, "You're stalling for time."

"And you were too late to realize it, Ja Ne," said the last clone as he released himself.

When the smoke cleared out, Kakashi saw that the eight Narutos were in their last hand seal… the bird seal. After they released that seal, they each had an open palm with a direct course for the ground.

"So, Naruto is using an widespread offensive water jutsu, he's planning something, but what?" thought Kakashi to himself as he started the hand signs for the earth wall, "But whatever it is, I'm falling for it."

"Suiton: Chosekki Roku (Water Style: Tidal Lock)" said the eight Narutos as they slammed their hand into the ground. Then, From the ground in front of the eight Narutos Tens of thousands of gallons of water came spewing out in Kakashi's general direction, and Kakashi was just barely able to finish his hand signs before he got hit.

"Doton: Doryuuheki (Earth Style: Mud Wall)"

An eight foot tall, fifteen foot wide, over two foot thick wall of stone erupted from the ground in front of Kakashi, and it was able to stop the torrent, for the time being.

Naruto as well as Kakashi noticed that the wall was slowly eroding due to the sheer water pressure, and they estimated a minute max of stability… so Kakashi got to work formulating a plan. He looked over the wall to gain all the info needed, "So I can't go sideways unless I want to make a secondary jump from the water… too risky, I can go backwards but that's a bit cheap… I'll use it if I have to, I can't bet that there are no more traps beneath the ground since I got here late, and over isn't an option because the seven Narutos are… wait… what happened to the eighth?"

His mental question was soon answered with the words, "Doton: Ni-Banme Doryuudan no Jutsu (Earth Style: Dual Mud Dragon)"

"Shit," Kakashi quickly said as two mud, serpentine dragons stood next to a Sharingan'd blond. Then Naruto made five hand signs before saying "Katon: Ryu no hono no Bakudan (Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bomb Jutsu)"

The dragons opened their mouths at this, and Fire built up, then, the fire escaped in many, fast-moving bullets towards Kakashi.

Kakashi's mind and sharingan eye immediately went into overdrive as he dodged the fire bullets as he slowly made progress towards Naruto. When Naruto realized this as he let out a smirk and applied more chakra into the jutsu, making the fireballs come out faster from the dragons' mouths. Kakashi, seeing as how he couldn't dodge anymore, flashed through a few hand signs before saying, "Suiton: Suidan no Jutsu (Water Style: Water Missile Jutsu)"

The Water collided with the rapidly launching fire balls and caused a massive cloud of steam to form around them, but it was two seconds later that Kakashi realized that this is what Naruto planned.

"Raiton: Jibashi (Lightning Style: Electromagnetic Murder)"

From that, electricity discharged throughout the entire cloud of steam towards Kakashi. With nowhere to dodge, no way to defend, and the possibility of electrocution, he pulled out his trump card…

"RAITON: CHIDORI" (No translation needed I suppose)

As the electricity reached Kakashi, he didn't dodge, but absorb. He used the electricity to power up the chidori, and as the steam dissipated, him with a super-charged Chidori in his hand was the only thing seen… and it was then that Kakashi realized that this was also what Naruto was planning.

How, you may ask… well… Naruto had his Sharingan activated, he just learned the new technique.

"I'm impressed, making me use Chidori is no minor feet, I guess you may be able to beat Asuma after all," said Kakashi, "you've been hiding quite a bit, Naru…" Kakashi said, stopping as he heard crack forming in the wall behind him, "OH SHI…"

Kakashi was soon blasted forward, Chidori in hand towards Naruto, thousands of gallons of water crashing into his back, and he was unable to stop it. Kakashi looked up a split second later to see a look of horror on Naruto's face… this was not part of his plan.

"Shit, I did not foresee this," thought Naruto as he started to move out of the way, "Kakashi has his hand out, if I don't dodge in time I'll die, but if he puts his hand in the water, it'll electrocute the water, killing us both… I need to dodge."

Naruto kept pushing every muscle sideways, but it never seemed to be enough. Kakashi was uncontrollably rushing towards him, with no way to stop himself, and no way to avoid killing Naruto, unless if Naruto moved out of the way.

The Sharingan was taking in the water's movement, every twitch Kakashi made, every millisecond perfectly visible to him… but he couldn't do anything about the lightning blade aiming straight for his chest.

"No… I don't want to die," Naruto thought as he applied even more chakra to his limbs, now flooding his limbs with almost every ounce of chakra he had, flooding his eyes with chakra to look for any chance to increase efficiency or take a change of path into account, "I WILL SURVIVE!"

With one final push of chakra, his body was flooded past its normal limits, and then… everything stopped. He moved like normal but everything else, stopped. He looked around and saw Kakashi and the water moving at a barely noticeable pace. He walked up to Kakashi, seeing how he looked like he was put on pause, but the slow chirping sound and slow movement of lightning present in his right hand. He held his left eye, realizing how much chakra was being absorbed into the eye, but assuming it had something to do with this, he continuously pushed chakra into his left eye.

Soon though, something unexpected happened. Points, openings per say, became visible throughout his skin in massive numbers, through the points he saw blue energy flowing through it, which looking at Kakashi's right forearm turned into a brighter white color before being expelled by the points on his hand.

"Why is everything but me moving in slow motion, and what are those points and pathways throughout Sensei's body?" thought Naruto to himself in absolute confusion, "Questions for later I guess."

Seeing as how he now had the ability to dodge because everything is moving in slow motion, and how this ability is using up a shitload of his chakra, he decided that now was his chance. He casually walked out of the way before cutting off most of the chakra to his eyes, startled at the sudden transition to a normal pace.

He saw how Kakashi suddenly moved at fast speeds, saw the full power of his water jutsu and what his fate could've been.

And Kakashi, he saw a quick burst of movement from Naruto, lasting less than a second, before he was beside him, seeing for a split second the unusual eyes Naruto possessed before being thankful that one way or another, Naruto managed to dodge. This gave him time to diffuse his Chidori before the huge amount of water slammed him into the ground. Water was rising over Kakashi as he was in a crater in the ground, being constantly pushed downwards by the torrent of water washing over him, before what felt like a minute or two later, it stopped.

What could be seen was a Kakashi laying down in a muddy crater, remains of the massive stream of water ever present as the seven clones maintaining the jutsu dissipated in puffs of smoke.

Away from the main fight, Sasuke and Sakura was showing awe at the sheer magnitude of the jutsu. Sure he showed it at the academy graduation, but not to this extent. Naruto just released a jutsu so powerful it sent one of Konoha's most advanced Jonin into a state of near unconsciousness, and somehow, in the most unexplainable way possible, he dodged what was supposed to be a lightning blade to the heart, in a burst of speed that didn't appear humanly possible.

But Kakashi managed to get up from that torrent, realizing full well that he was wide open at this point. He's been beaten into exhaustion, actually putting a significant effort into standing, something he thought he would never have to do. His chakra reserves was at a near all time low, he doubted he could pull off a fireball jutsu without fainting. And his other ninja tools were crushed and damaged within the extreme pressure, and his eye having to be put away due to its sheer chakra requirement.

And Naruto was little better. Sure he wasn't beaten to even close to the same extent, and sure, he still had his tools, but the previous two minutes of his life has been more chakra draining than any training he has ever done. He couldn't get up, barely even able to keep his eyes open, let alone the Sharingan. On his knees, he looked at Kakashi with exhausted blue eyes, and a smirk on his face before beginning to talk.

"You have been my greatest battle, I'm still a couple months too soon to expect to take you on Kakashi of the Sharingan," said Naruto, "So it's lucky that I don't have to."

As Naruto said that, three kunai was launched at him from the trees directly behind him, which he narrowly dodged. Then as he was in motion, a fireball same in his direction, forcing him into a substitution. As soon as Kakashi got to his location, he felt cold metal on his neck. There stood one of Naruto's clones, in position to finish the battle.

"I guess that's what I get for being late," said Kakashi, "Fine, you all pass."

Everyone heard this as they approached the location, smiling as the clone dispelled.

"Glad to hear it sensei," said Naruto.

"OK, you're a weird case, I don't know what I'm supposed to teach you that you can't teach yourself," said Kakashi, "And that ability you showed with your eyes, it appears you awakened something powerful. If it's what I think then I need to get you to the hokage tomorrow at the latest."

The two of them, seemingly completely forgotten of Naruto's show, suddenly remembered and started bombarding him with questions.

"How did you get so powerful?"

"How did you use all five elements?"

"What was that massive water jutsu?"

"How did you move so fast?"

"Are you a Jounin in disguise… Anbu?"

"OK guys, that's enough," said Kakashi, "We'll answer those questions in due time, in the meantime, it's still about 10:00 if you don't mind having an early lunch, maybe get to know each other a bit better."

"Sure," said two of them in unison while a third just hn'd (guess who), but agree regardless.

On the way to lunch, half of them didn't talk much. Sakura was originally trying to gain Sasuke's attention, but she supposed he was to deep in thought after five minutes of no response so she talked to Naruto instead… to which she got an immediate response.

The conversation mainly revolved around the test but drifted onto a few other topics. Some of it involving training, some of it on what they did recently (Some contributed more than others), and some was just the students asking Kakashi on his story with the Anbu.

By Naruto's request, they went to Ichiraku's where they continued their conversation, and it was apparent to Kakashi that they just clicked as a team.

The next day, Kakashi told the team to go to training ground 7 where he said they would go over the daily schedule and training regimens, and Naruto woke up early out of anticipation, currently eating in the kitchen.

"Hey Naruto, I see you woke up early," said Ino.

"Of course," Naruto said as he took another bite of the eggs he made for himself, "I want to pick up Sakura before the training, maybe give her a few tips or whatnot."

"But you'll still be training with me tonight right?" Ino asked, an underlying "say no, I DARE YOU" tone easily apparent to Naruto.

"Of course Ino-chan, maybe we could go to our spot by the hidden lake in Senju Park to do so, wouldn't mind going for a swim afterwards," said Naruto.

"Yeah, that'll be fun," said Ino.

So they continued in peace. Ino got some cereal and started eating next to Naruto at home by themselves. Mina and Inoichi were sleeping in late because the previous day they came back at 4:00 AM from a mission to Kusagakure, and were still fast asleep.

They were mainly talking about their senseis, what they thought about them and whatnot. Naruto in particular was talking about the first fight he lost in months and the slow motion thing happened. It lasted a few minutes before Naruto decided it was about time to pick up Sakura. So he double checked his anbu style gear (minus the cloak and mask), checked his equipment and headed for the door.

"Bye Ino-chan, let's try to meet at our area at about 6:00, OK?" asked Naruto as he held the doorknob.

"Yeah, see you later Naruto-kun," said Ino in a happy tone.

So Naruto just walked out the door towards Sakura's house in hopes of getting a good conversation in before Kakashi gets to the training ground. When he got there he was relieved that Sakura was still happy to see him, but unfortunately still did not drop the nickname.

At the training ground, Sasuke actually decided to join in on the conversation, much to all of their ABSOLUTE surprise, and it took less than an hour before Kakashi got there. He didn't give a tired expression either, from the 20% of his face they could even see… he looked happy to be there. Everyone knew that everything worked out, a great team was being made, and they knew it.

(Aaaaaand… Scene)
