#17 - Chapter 17: Developing the Sparkling Fruit Sora Mirror
“Yata Mirror!”
Naruto transformed into light and moved away from the area, returning to the edge of the forest.
The obstructed view within the forest had too much of an impact on him.
So much so that he didn't even realize when he had fallen for Kakashi's genjutsu!
As expected, he needed Observation Haki. Naruto thought.
He glanced at the alarm clock on the nearby wooden post, which read 11:55.
That meant if they couldn't snatch the bells in five minutes, they would openly fail!
Waiting like this definitely wouldn't work.
But if Kakashi didn't want to reveal himself, there was no way for him to find him.
Kakashi, a veteran of countless battles, taught Naruto a lesson, showing him what a hexagonal warrior and the basic qualities of a ninja concealing their presence were!
“Could it be that a max-level Goro Goro no Mi can't deal with a Jonin?”
He didn't believe that there wasn't any other way to deal with Kakashi besides the Yasakani no Magatama!
The awakened Goro Goro no Mi could possess unlimited possibilities!
It was just because his thinking was limited to Borsalino's development direction that he hadn't thought of it yet.
Naruto began to think about more possibilities of the Goro Goro no Mi.
Light... what else could it be used for?
Naruto played with the light in his hand, suddenly muttering, "Light isn't just about turning into laser beams."
Naruto suddenly shot a beam of light towards the lake surface.
The light beam formed a giant golden light mirror in mid-air through continuous refraction!
Sky Yata Mirror!
This was an improved skill Naruto created based on the Yata Mirror.
Through this mirror in the sky, he could gain an aerial view, looking down and reflecting all the scenes on the ground into the mirror.
And he could instantly arrive at the location illuminated by the mirror!
“Now you have nowhere to escape, Kakashi!”
With an aerial perspective, Naruto quickly discovered Kakashi's hiding location.
It was on a tree about ten meters behind him!
“Yata Mirror!”
Naruto created a Yata Mirror in his hand, hitting the light on the Sky Yata Mirror, connecting Naruto and the Sky Yata Mirror.
Then Naruto instantly appeared behind Kakashi through the connected light passage, kicking Kakashi away!
“Another shadow clone, huh? But how many shadow clones can you create with your chakra reserves?” Naruto said expressionlessly.
“Sky Yata Mirror!”
Naruto mobilized the golden mirror in the sky to rotate.
In just a few seconds, he found Kakashi's location again!
Naruto immediately used the Yata Mirror to open a passage, appearing behind Kakashi through the light passage, and kicked out.
This time, Naruto found Kakashi's real body!
However, because Kakashi had received the memories of the shadow clone, he had a certain understanding of Naruto's new skill, so the moment the Sky Yata Mirror discovered him, he used the Body Replacement Technique!
Therefore, he luckily avoided Naruto's fatal blow again, but... his speed was ultimately a bit slower.
Although the person escaped, the bell on his waist was accidentally kicked off by Naruto.
Naruto picked up the bell from the ground, held it in his hand, and smiled at Kakashi not far away: "It seems I won after all, Kakashi."
A wry smile flashed across Kakashi's face under the mask, quickly turning into a smile, "Congratulations, you successfully obtained the bell."
He only congratulated him on getting the bell, not on passing the test, obviously Kakashi's words had a deeper meaning.
Naruto understood Kakashi's implication, and the joy on his face disappeared, "What about Sasuke and Sakura?"
Kakashi pointed to the bushes not far away,
“They all failed, one is sleeping, and the other can't move.”
Naruto walked over and pulled open the bushes, seeing Sasuke buried in the ground with only his head exposed.
Sakura fainted on the ground, with a look of horror still on her face.
She looked quite frightened!
The conscious Sasuke couldn't help but ask when he saw Naruto: "Did you get the bell?"
If it were the original Naruto, Sasuke wouldn't have asked such a question.
But the current Naruto's strength was somewhat unpredictable to him.
This made him have to care about this question.
Naruto took out the bell in one hand and shook it in front of him, and used a laser to open a hole in the soil around him with the other hand.
“You're such an idiot, I told you not to act on your own,” Naruto pulled Sasuke out.
Sasuke glanced enviously at the bell in Naruto's hand, and then left without even saying thank you.
“Where are you going?”
“There's not much time left, I have to quickly find Kakashi and snatch the bell back!”
“Forget it, the time is already up.”
Sasuke paused, somewhat disbelieving, "The time is up?"
“Yeah, I only managed to snatch the bell in the last few minutes,” Naruto said, glancing at Sakura next to him,
He hesitated for a moment and went over to wake her up.
Slap! Slap!
Two slaps were thrown on Sakura's face, the pain woke Sakura up.
“Hiss!”
“Naruto? Sasuke?”
“Why are you here? I remember... hiss~ why does my face hurt so much?”
Naruto didn't tell Sakura that he hit her, otherwise this mad woman would definitely throw a tantrum again.
“The exam is over, let's go.”
After saying that, Naruto ignored the two and went to the meeting place on his own.
Sakura was still a little dazed, looking at Sasuke and said: "The exam is over? What does that mean? Did we pass the exam?"
Sasuke gave Sakura a speechless look, don't you know your own level?
“We both failed, only he got the bell.”
“How... is that possible.”
Sakura stared blankly at Naruto's back, somewhat disbelieving.
Was this still the Naruto she knew?
“That... Sasuke, do you think it's possible that this Naruto is fake? He's actually Teacher Kakashi transformed?”
Sasuke frowned, looking at Naruto's back thoughtfully.
Seeing Sasuke not speaking, Sakura said again, "Think about it, Naruto is clearly the dead last in our class, how could he suddenly become so powerful? Even Teacher Kakashi doesn't dare to fight him head-on!"
“So there is only one truth!”
“This Naruto has been Teacher Kakashi pretending from the beginning, deliberately performing for us to see!”
“......”
Although Sasuke couldn't think of the reason why Kakashi would do this, it seemed that this was the only explanation for why Naruto had suddenly become so powerful.
And soon Sakura filled in this missing reason.
“I think the reason why Teacher Kakashi wants to do this is to test the insight of the two of us! As for that guy Naruto, he must have been eliminated early because he was too weak!”
“This also explains why there are only two bells!”
Sakura pointed a finger to the sky, and her eloquent appearance successfully convinced Sasuke.
