Chapter 10: Kakashi's Test
"When?" Hearing that abrupt voice behind her, Meng Leng couldn't help but shudder all over, and immediately thought of leaving the place at once, but it was already too late.
Only to see Kaka Xi fly up with one foot, heavily kicking Meng Ling's abdomen, instantly seeing a small white figure flying out, colliding with a large tree.
"Hmm... almost got discovered." Due to her not-so-high trust level with Kakashi, Miren decided to hide her Devil Fruit ability, so when Kakashi kicked her, Miren quickly transformed her Fire Body back into its original normal body, because she believed that even though she was only three years old now, the so-called Dragon God's gift to her body should be able to withstand Kakashi's powerful kick.
"It hurts so much." Even so, the kick from Kakashi just now had broken one of Naruto's ribs. As soon as he moved his body a little, Naruto groaned in pain.
"What's wrong with you, this won't do at all. A ninja doesn't have time to rest, and if you can't even bear this little bit of pain, I'd advise you to give up on the idea of becoming a ninja sooner rather than later. Otherwise..." Kakashi glanced at Meiying and took out his own Sorrowful.
"You're going to die." As soon as the words fell, Kakashi's Killing Intent arrived in front of Mengying, and the target was clearly Mengying's back.
"Hmm?" Kakashi still didn't thrust it in, stopping the blade at a point less than a millimeter from Temari's back.
"It seems like he's already fainted. As expected, being only three years old is still a bit too young." Kakashi looked at me lying motionless on the ground and let out a soft sigh, putting away his kunai.
"Don't let your guard down when facing the enemy, Kakashi-sensei." Just as Kakashi was about to pick up Mei Terumi who had fallen to the ground, a very abrupt voice suddenly came from behind him.
"What...!" Kakashi was shocked, and quickly used the Body Pathway Derangement Technique to leave his original position. However, in the next moment, the place where Kakashi originally was had already been surrounded by flames.
"Close, almost succeeded." Meng Ling hummed a sentence from behind a large tree.
"Alas, it seems that Shang Ren's reaction ability is indeed not to be underestimated." Meng Ling sighed lightly and said helplessly.
Kakashi looked around the empty space, then glanced at where I originally was and found that there was nothing but a charred wooden stake. He muttered to himself: "Is it a substitution technique? It seems I underestimated you."
Turning around, Kakashi faced the large tree I was hiding behind and said loudly: "However, your attack just now was quite ruthless. If I had been a moment slower, I might have ended up like that piece of wood."
"This is what you said, I must have the determination to kill you, otherwise I won't be able to snatch the bell." As I spoke, I walked out from behind the big tree and pointed at the bell hanging on Kakashi's waist.
"Besides, just now Kaixi didn't seem to have held back either." Meng Ling said with some resentment, rubbing her still slightly sore abdomen.
"Ah, ah, sorry, but next time I'm going to get serious." With that, Kakashi reached into his ninja pouch with his right hand, also preparing for another strike.
"Are we going to use the Sharingan now, Kakashi-sensei?" Meng Ling asked excitedly.
"Hmm? You know this too? Well, it's not surprising, after all your intellect isn't like that of a three-year-old. But this time won't be as easy as last time." Kakashi looked at me with a relaxed face and took out a red book from his ninja tool pouch.
"Kakashi-sensei, isn't it a bit inappropriate to be reading a book while evaluating me?" Miren said with some dissatisfaction, pointing at the "Makeout Tactics" book in Kakashi's hand.
"Ah, I just wanted to know what happens next in this book. Never mind, you don't have to worry about that, just focus on attacking." Kakashi said calmly.
"I know this, but Kakashi-sensei, my strength isn't just that much. I hope what you see today, except for the Third Hokage, won't be mentioned to anyone else in the village who doesn't need to know. Because, apart from Kakashi-sensei and the Third Hokage-sama, no one else has earned my recognition yet." Mengying smiled mischievously, but when she said the last sentence, her expression turned very cold, and she was also prepared to deal with it.
"Besides the Third Hokage and myself, who else? It seems that the Third Hokage is still widely respected. Alright, I can agree to this condition of yours, but let's see if your abilities are worth my consideration." Kakashi said calmly.
"So, Kakashi-sensei, be careful!" Miren looked at Kakashi's position again and smiled mischievously. She crossed her arms over her chest, randomly made a few hand seals that even she didn't know the meaning of, and finally slammed her hands heavily onto the ground.
"That childish technique would be useless against Kakashi-sensei if it weren't released at the perfect timing, so... Drink!" Yume Kyou drank in one gulp, and instantly a high-temperature flame covered an area with a radius of 10 meters centered around her.
"How much chakra does she have with so many flames?" Kakashi was secretly surprised in his heart. But he said, "This ninjutsu is indeed effective against me, but there's still some distance before it can defeat me."
"Is that so? Then how about this move - Great Flame Ring." Meng Ling shouted again, and the area covered by the Great Flame Ring immediately burst into a raging inferno.
"What? Just how much chakra does she need?! Is she a jinchuriki or something?" For some reason, this thought echoed in Kakashi's mind.
"It's not over yet — Yan Di." Meng Ling's right hand suddenly lifted, and the flames immediately retracted, revealing what was contained within the flames.
"That... that's the sun?" Kakashi stared blankly at the golden fireball with a radius of about 20 meters held in Maito Gai's right hand, his heart filled with boundless astonishment.
"Take it, Kakashi-sensei. Be careful!" Ming Ling reminded, and then she soared into the air, her right hand swinging down violently as a massive golden fireball hurtled towards Kakashi's location.
"This is terrible. It seems I can no longer continue reading." With that, Kakashi put away "Makeout Tactics" in his ninja pouch and suddenly lifted the forehead protector on his right eye, revealing a blood-red Sharingan with three tomoe.
"Water Escape? No, Water Escape can't block this attack, I can only escape." As he spoke, Kakashi had already gathered his chakra in his feet and instantly left his original location.
"Boom......" A massive roar suddenly rang out, and everything within a radius of about 50 meters from Kakashi's original position was reduced to ashes. Even the surrounding areas suffered huge destruction.
"Am I overdoing it a bit? Kakashi-sensei? But you really did use that, didn't you?" Miren said with a smile as he looked back at his own back.
"Ah, ah, I'm truly surprised by your display, you've actually forced me to use the Sharingan." At this time, Kakashi's voice came from behind Mei Terumi.
"Alright then, I'll teach you properly. One of the tactics is Taijutsu." Kakashi muttered, his right foot aiming at Meiying's abdomen once again.
"I knew that already, Kakashi-sensei." As he said this, Ren's right hand pushed down on Kakashi's incoming right foot, sending him flying horizontally in front of Kakashi, and his right foot also launched an attack at Kakashi's face.
"Too slow." Kakashi said in a low voice, lifting his left hand up, and immediately dissolved Mu Rong's attack.
"Kakaxi teacher, have you forgotten my ability? - Fire physique, flame feet." Meng Ling said with a smile, her hands randomly formed several hand seals, and small flames began to emerge from her slender legs.
"It's so hot...... What kind of ninjutsu is this?" Seeing the extremely high-temperature flames on Meng Leng's calf rapidly approaching him, Kakashi also involuntarily released his own hands.
"Kakashi-sensei, you felt it too, didn't you? That the Sharingan can't copy my 'Ninjutsu'?" Mugen said with a smile.
"Bloodline limit? Not bad abilities. But what can you do with that?" Kakashi said, quickly forming a few hand seals in front of his chest and finally clenching his hands into the "Seal of Confrontation", muttering: "Ninja tactics knowledge two - Illusion technique."
"This is bad." Meng Ling said quietly, she knew it herself. Although her physical strength and the Devil Fruit made her skills in ninjutsu and taijutsu unparalleled, genjutsu was her biggest weakness. She could say that she knew nothing about genjutsu, a complete idiot when it came to illusions. In this situation, if she were to fall under an illusion, she would have no chance of winning at all.
"Huh?" Meng Ling was stunned for a moment, but found herself no longer in the original place, but in front of a large building.
"This, this is here." Meng Ling looked at the extremely familiar place in front of her and was taken aback for a moment.
Dreaming looked around and her pupils suddenly contracted.
"Boom......" A huge explosion sounded, immediately pulling Meng Leng back from his contemplation.
"It's true, Kakashi peeked into my memories. But..."
"Mom, Dad..." At this time, a little boy ran past Meng's body.
"That's... me when I was a kid?" Ming Leng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"So, there you are," Meng Ling coldly snorted and immediately caught up with "Yuan Teng Fei" who was in front of her.
"Dad, Mom," came the boy's cry from in front, at this time, in the sky, there were still blooming fireworks.
"Fireworks, explosions, boys, and this familiar building... That's right, it's where Dad and Mom died. Damn Kakashi, making me see something like this... damn!" Meng Long couldn't help but leave two lines of clear tears at this time.
Meng Ling could no longer stand it and immediately used the method of dispelling illusions from Huo Ying to dispel the illusion.
"Hmm... First, I'll completely seal away my own chakra, and then I'll go crazy and activate my chakra again." Meng Ling slowly said with a long sigh.
"Release." Momo Rin's voice rang out, and the scene in front of her immediately collapsed, breaking into fragments. And Kakashi stood before her once again.
"Wow, I didn't think you'd actually dispel the illusion. That's impressive." Kakashi clapped his hands.
"Mr. Kakaxi, continue, this time I will be serious too." Meng Ling said coldly.
"Hmm, that expression... I guess I overdid it a bit. I didn't think she'd have a childhood like that. Sigh, an angry woman is the most terrifying thing, even if she's still just a kid." Kakashi thought to himself, but he was also prepared to handle the situation.
