Chapter 55 Grabbing the Bell

The next day, Sakura was already waiting at the agreed location at dawn, but Sasuke followed Naruto's lead and they were still sleeping soundly in bed.

Sakura waited anxiously in the slightly cool breeze of the early morning, her heart filled with anger: "What on earth are these two doing? Didn't Kakashi-sensei say we should gather in the morning? Why haven't they come yet?!"

After a while, the sunlight gradually became brighter, and Naruto finally stretched and woke up slowly from his sleep.

"Oh no, I overslept!" Naruto muttered as he hurried to Sasuke's room and pushed him hard to wake him up.

Sasuke was dragged up by Naruto with sleepy eyes and a dissatisfied look on his face.

The two hurriedly packed up their things and rushed towards the agreed location.

Seeing them running over in a panic, Sakura was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and shouted, "You two, you made me wait so long!"

Naruto scratched his head sheepishly and said with a smile: "Hey, don't be angry, Sakura. We are here. Have you had breakfast? Come and bring breakfast with you."

Sasuke looked indifferent and said nothing.

Sakura glared at Naruto and said, "It's already this late, and you're still thinking about eating! Didn't Kakashi-sensei say we can't have breakfast?"

Naruto chuckled: "Don't worry, Kakashi-sensei hasn't come yet. Sakura, remember what I said, just listen to what Kakashi-sensei says, don't take it seriously." Then he handed one to Sakura and Sasuke each.

Sakura took the breakfast, her face slightly flushed, and she couldn't help but think, "Naruto actually brought me breakfast."

Sasuke took the breakfast and was slightly stunned. He didn't dare to put it in his mouth at first. But when he saw Naruto wolfing it down, he stopped hesitating. To him, Naruto was the only person he trusted now.

About two hours later, just when the three of them were getting impatient, Kakashi finally showed up. "Hey, good morning, everyone."

When Sakura heard what Kakashi said, she was furious: "You are really too slow!"

And Naruto looked at Sasuke and Sakura and gave them a look that said "just watch".

Sasuke held his forehead with one hand, shook his head helplessly, and sighed in his heart: It turned out that it was right to believe in Naruto.

Kakashi looked at the expressions of the team members and explained, "A black cat blocked my way just now." Then he looked at the three of them pretentiously, raised his right hand to his mouth and coughed slightly, with an expression on his face that said, as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

Then, Kakashi took out an alarm clock and two bells, and said, "Today's task is to grab the bells. The two people who grab the bells before 12 o'clock will be qualified. The other person who fails to grab the bell will be tied to the pillar and will not have lunch. At the same time, the person who fails to grab the bell will lose the qualification to be a ninja, and that person will be sent back to the ninja school."

The three of them looked at each other and finally understood why Naruto had disobeyed Kakashi's instructions and asked everyone to finish breakfast. It turned out that Naruto had already anticipated what was going to happen.

Kakashi looked at the three people who did not move, and said: "You must be determined to kill me in this mission, otherwise you will definitely not be able to take the bell."

At this time, Naruto looked at Sasuke and said, "Sasuke, go ahead. Grabbing the bell will be your first step to becoming a ninja. Don't let me down." Then, Naruto walked to the side alone and sat down against a tree trunk.

When Sasuke heard what Naruto said, his expression suddenly became solemn. He walked in front of Kakashi and stared at Kakashi.

Sakura was confused because she really couldn't understand what Naruto and Sasuke were trying to do.

Kakashi looked at the three people's reactions with a puzzled look on his face, and then said to them: "Sasuke alone can't take it away. I suggest that you..."

Just before he finished speaking, Naruto interrupted Kakashi: "Teacher Kakashi, I think you'd better try it with Sasuke first, otherwise if I take action, you won't have any room for maneuver." Then, Naruto showed an evil smile.

Kakashi stared at Naruto blankly for a while. He really didn't understand why a last-place student in the school would say such arrogant words. Who gave him the courage? Fish Leong?

Kakashi sighed and said, "Then Sasuke, you go first, and remember to be determined to kill me."

Sasuke took a deep breath, sped up his pace, and stabbed Kakashi with the kunai in his hand like a gust of wind. His eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, and the chakra in his body began to surge wildly.

Kakashi put down the book in his hand, his eyes became serious. He dodged Sasuke's kunai and kicked Sasuke in the abdomen.

Sasuke reacted quickly, blocking with his arms, and used the force to somersault backwards, putting some distance between himself and Kakashi.

Sasuke quickly formed seals with his hands, "Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!", and a huge fireball flew towards Kakashi.

Kakashi was not in a hurry. He also formed seals with his hands, "Water Style: Water Wall!" A solid water curtain rose up and blocked the fireball.

Sasuke did not stop and formed hand seals again, "Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!" Countless fireballs rushed towards Kakashi like a phoenix.

Kakashi dodged the attack.

Sasuke then used the "Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!" and a giant flaming dragon roared out.

Seeing this, Kakashi waved his hands quickly, "Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!" A tall earth wall rose from the ground and blocked the flaming dragon.

However, the intense heat of the flames caused cracks to begin to appear in the earthen wall.

Sasuke took this opportunity to continue to use Fire Style, "Fire Style: Flame Bullet!" One after another, the blazing flame bullets flew towards Kakashi.

Kakashi frowned slightly and clasped his hands together, "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" A gust of wind blew the flames back.

Sasuke dodged quickly while thinking about his next attack strategy.

At this point, the fight between the two entered a stalemate, with neither of them having a clear advantage.

Kakashi's eyes finally revealed a solemn expression, "Is this the genius of the Uchiha clan? He is no less talented than Itachi back then."

Sasuke felt anxious when he saw that his Fire Style was being resolved one by one by Kakashi, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and looked at Naruto.

Naruto felt Sasuke's gaze, smiled slightly, and nodded. He naturally knew what Sasuke wanted to do.

After seeing Naruto's actions, Sasuke straightened his expression. He could finally let go.

"Fire Style: Great Flame Ball Jutsu!" A huge and blazing fireball rushed towards Kakashi, and the surrounding air was distorted by the high temperature.

Kakashi's eyes narrowed. He felt the power of this move and dared not take it lightly. He quickly jumped into the air and avoided the frontal impact of the fireball.

Sasuke took advantage of the situation and made seals with his hands continuously, "Fire Style: Toukoku!" Multiple flames spurted out of his mouth and chased after Kakashi in the air like fire snakes.
