Chapter 41 The naked gap
PS: I am asking for votes and recommendations over the weekend. Your support this week has allowed this book to qualify for the second round of website recommendations next week. I am very grateful. I hope you will continue to support me. How many more rounds will you recommend? Ah, thank you!
Menma couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
His original plan was to press Kakashi with this wave of attacks, showing their joint posture at the beginning, and then in the next attack, as long as he found the right opportunity for Sakura to hit him, it could barely be considered completed. Teamwork attacked.
In this way, it can be regarded as meeting Kakashi's minimum requirements. Grabbing the bell is definitely the best result, but it must also be considered that even if Kakashi lets go, the current strength of the four of them may not really be enough. If they grab it, then showing tacit teamwork is the only way for them to complete the assessment.
As long as Sakura doesn't come out to seek death!
Kakashi would definitely not attack Sakura first.
It's a pity that man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation.
'He is still a ninja without ninja consciousness! ’
Menma thought helplessly as he looked at Kakashi who was already charging straight towards the three of them.
"Peng."
"Snapped."
"Boom!"
With only one-tenth of the strength, and perhaps even without the need, Kakashi can easily outplay the three Menma now.
Not to mention that there is a huge gap between them in terms of experience and skills.
Just a face-to-face meeting.
Sasuke was easily knocked down by genjutsu.
Then a simple wind escape technique.
"Peng!"
It blew Naruto away.
Finally, he used taijutsu to subdue Menma neatly.
In less than ten minutes, Kakashi made Menma, Naruto, and Sasuke understand what an insurmountable gap in strength was.
This was Kakashi's previous performance. I wanted to see more of the teamwork level of the three of them.
Otherwise it will just end faster.
"It seems that you are still far behind. You can't even hold on for ten minutes, let alone snatch the bell from my hand!"
Kakashi crossed his hands on his chest, looked at the four Menma sitting cross-legged on the ground, and said with an expression that seemed to hate the iron.
"No! This time doesn't count. Brother Kakashi, we were careless just now. If you give us another chance, we will definitely get the bell!"
Hear Kakashi's words.
The most impatient Naruto jumped up quickly, put his hands on his hips and shouted loudly.
If he was directly declared to have failed the assessment and then sent back to the ninja school to study again, where would his face be?
This is completely unacceptable.
Sakura looked even more nervous, and the two pillars also frowned slightly.
"Give me another chance? Naruto, what do you think a ninja is? Playing house? If you fail the mission, you have failed! Therefore, the four of you must return to the ninja school as promised before. Go study!”
Kakashi raised his eyebrows and looked at Naruto deliberately with a look of perseverance.
This is a decisive look.
Naruto's expression couldn't help but froze, and his eyes widened as if they turned into cats.
"But, considering that you guys performed really well just now, I can't give you another chance."
But at the end of the words, Kakashi pretended to be bold and spoke these words.
"Eh? Really!? Brother Kakashi?"
It also immediately attracted the attention of Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke.
"Haha, of course, but I will only give this opportunity to three people. You can see how to distribute these three bells. Whoever has the bell will be qualified for the second test. The one without the bell, Then just go back to Ninja School and study.”
Kakashi smiled slightly, took the three bells from his waist, and flicked them gently, the moment Naruto subconsciously caught them.
The words that were spoken intentionally.
It also made the three people on the opposite side, except Menma, each show a look of astonishment.
"What, can't you allocate it? Or how about just using actual combat to solve it? My proposal is also very good, right?"
Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone seemed a bit aggressive.
Both Naruto and Sasuke's expressions seemed to become a little unnatural at that moment.
The two pillars were all staring at the bell in Naruto's hand, the right hand that wanted to reach out, but restrained itself.
It is enough to explain Er Zhuzhu's heart at this moment.
Sakura, who was standing on the other side, was looking at the three bells in Naruto's hand, with endless hope and nervousness in her beautiful eyes.
She really wants to graduate.
I don't want to go back to the ninja school.
Even if this is just a second testing opportunity.
But.
She didn't seem to have any strong reasons or qualifications to get a bell.
At this moment, Sakura's heart was filled with despair.
Not possible.
But 100%, she will definitely go back to Ninja School to study. After all, she really doesn't have the courage to ask for a bell.
Which one of Menma, Naruto or Sasuke is not better than me?
Naruto's lips also moved, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly seemed as terrifying as deathly silence.
This feels like a proposition.
Several people remained silent for a long time.
As Kakashi's expression seemed to become more and more expressive.
"Haha, it's a very simple question. Just give the bells to the three of them. I don't need this second chance to test, Kakashi-sensei."
Menma, who was standing on one side, also smiled lightly and said softly.
"oh?"
"Eh?"
"Menma, you?"
"Menma-kun!"
These words sounded like thunder to Sakura, Naruto and others.
A look of 'sure enough' flashed through Kakashi's eyes.
‘This boy’s reaction is really fast. . . . ’
Almost for a moment.
Kakashi understood that Menma had 100% seen through his intentions and plans.
But on the surface, Kakashi still pretended to be confused and asked: "Oh? Are you sure? Menma, if you miss this opportunity, you will have to go back to the Ninja School to study for at least another year. Waiting until next year’s graduation to get another chance to graduate? Is this the fairest thing to do?”
This seemed to be a deliberate glance at Sakura.
Haruno Sakura's delicate body couldn't help but tremble.
Sakura was filled with endless tangles and tension.
next moment.
Sakura gritted her teeth and said, "Menma-kun, let me give the bell to the three of you. My grades are the worst among the four of us. According to the order of priority, there is no way it will be my turn, and it will still be your three." Let’s take the test again, I’ll wait until next year!”
This seemed to be words that required all the strength in one's body to be spoken.
But also after saying it.
The heavy feeling in Sakura's heart also disappeared out of thin air. She knew very well that there was no point in fighting for something that she couldn't fight for.
Taking a step back here is the right thing to do.
Don't forget, this is just to qualify for a second chance at the test. It doesn't mean that you can pass just by getting the bell. Sakura is not sure at all whether she can pass Kakashi's test.
In this case, why bother asking for trouble?
