Naruto: Experience Pain, Start by Copying the Entire Shinobi World

The atmosphere at the third training ground was somewhat heated.

The villagers and ninjas who were watching surrounded the area so tightly that there was no room to move, and their whispers blended into a buzzing sound.

Shuo Ye Qianxuan stood on the sidelines, sporting two heavy dark circles under his eyes, looking like he could fall asleep at any moment.

Physical exhaustion is secondary; the mental torment is the most devastating.

Tsunade is still in his bed.

This realization was like a small hammer, constantly pounding on his nerves.

Kakashi Hatake next to him was in a completely different state.

With upright posture and calm demeanor, he was ready to face the upcoming battle.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze stood side by side in the center of the field.

"Today, we will be conducting Kakashi Hatake's Jonin promotion exam and Chigen Sakuya's special Chunin promotion exam."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice, amplified by chakra, was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

He didn't waste any time with unnecessary words and went straight to announcing the rules.

"The assessment is very simple, without any complicated procedures; it only looks at your abilities."

He glanced at Minato Namikaze.

"Kakashi's test was conducted by his mentor, Jonin Minato Namikaze, who served as the chief examiner."

Excited chatter erupted from the crowd.

"Lord Minato will personally conduct the assessment!"

"This is going to be interesting!"

Minato smiled gently at Kakashi, but the smile lacked its usual ease and instead showed the seriousness of an examiner.

"Kakashi, are you ready?"

"Yes, teacher."

Kakashi removed his headband, revealing his other closed eye, his expression solemn.

As soon as Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted "Begin!", the atmosphere on the field instantly changed.

Minato vanished from his spot without warning, only to reappear behind Kakashi a second later, delivering a karate chop to the back of his neck.

fast!

Extremely fast!

Kakashi's reaction was equally swift. As if he had eyes in the back of his head, he didn't turn around, but instead sank at an incredible angle while simultaneously slashing his kunai at Minato's calf.

Ding!

The crisp sound of metal clashing exploded in the air.

The two separated immediately upon contact, landing at opposite ends of the field.

The mere exchange of blows left most of the onlookers, both genin and chunin, dumbfounded.

They didn't even see what Shuimen was doing.

"A good reaction speed."

The water gate was praised.

Kakashi did not respond, his hands rapidly forming hand seals.

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

A thick earthen wall rose up from the ground, blocking his way.

Immediately afterwards, his hands changed again.

"Lightning Release: Flowing Technique!"

Blinding lightning flashed in Kakashi's hand, transforming into several long lightning snakes that bypassed the earthen wall and devoured Minato from all directions.

This beautiful combination of ninjutsu drew cheers from the sidelines.

However, Minato simply stood still, without even forming any hand seals.

He extended his right hand, palm facing up.

A blue chakra spun and compressed rapidly in his palm, emitting a piercing buzz.

In just one second, a high-speed spinning chakra sphere was formed.

The sphere, though showing no change in shape, contained a terrifyingly violent power.

"What kind of technique is that?"

"Never seen it before!"

Qianxuan's sleepiness was instantly dispelled.

He stared intently at the blue ball in Minato's hand. Was this... the Rasengan?

A-rank ninjutsu that requires no hand seals.

Previously, my chakra reserves were insufficient, so even though I knew the principles of the Rasengan, I couldn't attempt to develop it. But now, things are different.

Faced with the oncoming Raikou, Minato neither dodged nor avoided, but simply pushed the Rasengan in his hand forward gently.

boom!

A burst of violent chakra erupted instantly, forming a shockwave visible to the naked eye.

The fierce lightning snakes were pulverized the moment they made contact with the impact, and a huge gap was blasted into the earthen wall that Kakashi had painstakingly built.

Smoke and dust filled the air.

Everyone held their breath.

As the smoke cleared, Kakashi knelt on the ground, slightly out of breath.

He looked at the water gate, his eyes filled with solemnity.

"This is a new technique I'm developing, 'Light Wheel Popsicle Initiating Hair-Spinning Jiraiya Double Style Ball'!"

Minato flicked his hand, his tone relaxed.

"Your lightning release technique is quite good, but its power is still insufficient."

Kakashi slowly stood up, raised his left hand, and grasped his right wrist.

"Teacher, you're right."

Sizzle... sizzle...

A piercing electrical sound rang out, a hundred times sharper than the previous flow technique.

A dazzling bolt of lightning condensed and compressed in his right hand, emitting a piercing sound like the simultaneous cry of thousands of birds.

Qianxuan's eyelid twitched.

Chidori!

Kakashi's self-created A-rank thrusting ninjutsu.

"I've just finished developing this technique myself."

Kakashi's voice trembled slightly as he concentrated his chakra, and his eyes gleamed with an astonishing light.

"Let's have the teacher test its power!"

Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of white lightning and charged straight toward Minato!

That speed was even faster than Minato's Body Flicker Technique just now!

A hint of approval flashed in Minato's golden eyes. He raised his right hand again, and the same blue chakra sphere rapidly took shape.

Faced with his apprentice's all-out attack, he chose to respond with the same move, giving the most positive response!

"bring it on!"

On one side is pure rotation and destruction.

On one hand, there is extreme penetration and sharpness.

Amidst the horrified gazes of the entire audience, the blue Rasengan and the white Chidori collided with a deafening roar!

There was no deafening explosion.

There was only a moment of deathly silence.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying energy storm swept wildly outwards from the two of them!

The training ground was cracked inch by inch, with sand and stones flying everywhere, and spectators who were close by were even blown about.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood still, his robes fluttering in the wind, but his gaze never left the arena.

Smoke and dust enveloped everything once again.

When everything calmed down, the scene in the room made everyone gasp.

A huge crater with a diameter of more than five meters appeared in the center of the site.

Shuimen stood at the edge of the pit, unharmed except for some tears in the hem of his clothes.

Opposite him, Kakashi knelt on one knee, his right hand hanging limply at his side, his shoulder a bloody mess, and he was breathing heavily, his hair soaked with sweat.

The outcome is decided.

"Chidori... a remarkable technique."

Minato walked over to Kakashi and helped him up.

"You've mastered both the form and nature transformations of Lightning Release chakra, and combined with your speed, you can penetrate any defense."

He then changed the subject.

"But its weakness is equally fatal. In pursuit of ultimate speed, your field of vision narrows, making you unable to deal with attacks from blind spots. It's a suicidal move."

Kakashi lowered his head and did not refute.

Minato patted him on the shoulder, a relieved smile on his face.

"However, your talent is beyond doubt, being able to create an A-rank ninjutsu at this age."

He turned around, facing Hiruzen Sarutobi, his voice booming.

"Hokage-sama, I hereby announce that Kakashi Hatake has passed the Jonin promotion exam!"

The entire audience fell silent for a moment, then erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.

"That's amazing!"

"Konoha's youngest Jonin has been born!"

Kakashi raised his head, looked at his teacher, then at the cheering crowd around him, and finally clenched his fist.

Father, I... have finally caught up with you.

In the crowd, Nohara Rin was so excited that her face turned red, and she gripped Shizune's arm tightly.

"Shizune! Did you see that?! Kakashi did it! He became a Jonin!"

"Yes, I saw it, that's amazing..."

While giving a perfunctory response, Jingyin anxiously soothed the restless pig in her arms.

"Hmph! Hmph!"

Tun Tun burrowed into her arms, her little hooves pointing incessantly at a grove of trees outside the training ground, her throat emitting urgent cries that only Silent could understand.

Lady Tsunade!

It's right there!

It looks like he's injured!

Silent's heart leaped into her throat.

Lady Tsunade is injured?

How could that be?

"Shizune, what's wrong? You look terrible."

Nohara Rin noticed that something was wrong with her.

"N-nothing!"

Shizune quickly shook her head, forcefully holding Tun Tun down, and changed the subject:

"Look, Kakashi's test is over. Next... shouldn't it be that Sengen-senpai's turn?"
