Chapter 10 No, I Just Want Teacher Kakashi's Approval
"Hurry up and go! This is not a battle you can participate in..."
Asuma recalled the fear he felt as a child when faced with the Nine Tails. He drew his weapon, Feiyan, and shouted at Sasuke, Rock Lee, and Neji.
At that moment, Asuma thought about the fearlessness of his ancestors when confronting the Nine Tails and their commitment to protect others.
"Is this the essence of fear?" Asuma murmured, his eyes instantly becoming resolute. He suppressed his fear of the Nine Tails and rushed into the fray.
Asuma moved so quickly that neither Sasuke nor Sakura had time to explain.
"Take this!"
Might Guy punched Naruto again, and their fists collided, creating a wind pressure of Chakra that formed two hurricanes swirling around them.
In that brief moment, Asuma held Feiyan, unleashed two bundles of blue Chakra knives, and slashed at the two tails behind Naruto.
"Ding... ding..."
The sharp Chakra knives, capable of cutting through iron like butter, struck the Chakra tails, but all they produced were two harsh impact sounds—no damage was done.
Is this the power of the Nine Tails?
Asuma stared in horror at where Feiyan had struck, quickly retreating with a grim expression. As he fell back, a large amount of gray, high-temperature soot was sprayed from his mouth.
In the blink of an eye, the soot spread over a distance of 100 meters.
"Guy, come out quickly..."
Asuma shouted, his hand forming seals.
In the next instant, a green afterimage rushed out of the soot, and Asuma launched his ninjutsu.
"Fire Style: Ash Accumulation Burning!"
Asuma yelled, igniting a trace of soot near his mouth. The entire field of soot exploded in an instant.
The ash accumulated was explosive in nature. Once ignited, it released a high-explosive Fire Style ninjutsu over a large area.
"Asuma, will this Fire Style hurt him?"
Might Guy appeared next to Asuma in an instant, asking nervously.
But he knew that Naruto was rational.
"No, I just wanted to test it.
At most, he'll be injured or stunned; his defense is very strong!"
Asuma replied solemnly, his gaze fixed on the center of the explosion.
Naruto was Konoha's Nine Tails Jinchūriki; there was no way Asuma would kill him directly.
These were the choices he made after witnessing the formidable defense of the tailed beast coat.
Furthermore, Asuma wasn't sure if he could even breach the tailed beast coat's defenses.
"Damn it! You guys have pissed me off..."
While the two were talking, an angry shout erupted from the center of the explosion, and the overwhelming Chakra blasted away the surrounding smoke and dust.
"Still talking?
Guy, didn't he go berserk?"
Hearing the roar, Asuma's tense and pale face froze. He turned to Might Guy and asked, embarrassed, "What's going on?"
"Berserk?
No!
They're just running a Genin test.
When I rushed over, I accidentally knocked Kakashi out!
Now, Naruto is coming to find me to avenge Kakashi..."
Might Guy scratched his head in embarrassment, speaking honestly.
Asuma felt a wave of numbness wash over him...
What on earth is this Genin test?!
Which Jōnin could withstand such a test?!
Asuma unconsciously admired the fainted Kakashi!
Kakashi was a genius ninja.
Even his Genin test was different from the others!
Fainted Kakashi...
"That was a misunderstanding...
It's all a misunderstanding! I won't fight anymore!"
Asuma stammered, looking at the furious Naruto, stiffly explaining as he prepared to flee.
Just joking—if the Nine Tails truly went berserk, he would try his best to stop it.
But what about now?
Was it okay to just jump in and fight?
"Misunderstanding?!
I'll blow you up to explain the misunderstanding, how about that?
Don't even think about running..."
Naruto shouted, pretending to be angry, extending his hand to grab Asuma.
A red claw of Chakra rushed toward Asuma.
Naruto's intention was to use the Genin test as a pretext for doing something significant.
Of course, he wouldn't let Asuma escape without consequences!
Asuma's face turned green upon seeing this...
Quickly dodging the Chakra claw, he cursed himself for his impulsiveness.
Why did he act so rashly?
Given Naruto's current situation, he felt even more restricted, already on edge.
"You little brat! Let me teach you a lesson..."
Might Guy, feeling invigorated for the first time in a while, rushed back into the fray, shouting with enthusiasm.
In the current Konoha, there was no one else he could practice martial arts with.
Not even Kakashi!
"That is the Nine Tails going berserk!
Hurry and inform Lord Hokage! Seal the area immediately.
We mustn't let the Nine Tails break free!"
The captain of the Anbu team, who was the first to arrive, was startled by the scene of the battle and immediately issued orders.
The three-person team quickly dispersed to follow through.
At the same time, Konoha Jōnin and Chūnin began arriving in succession.
Among them were Kurenai Yuhi from Team 8, as well as Genma Shiranui and Hayate gekko.
"The number of people has increased...
There are only about three minutes left!
So, multiple Shadow Clone Technique..."
Naruto swiftly dodged Might Guy's attacks, forming seals with both hands as he shouted loudly.
Boom, boom! A series of smoke clouds drifted past...
On the field, twenty Four Tails Naruto clones suddenly appeared.
Everyone who was about to attack halted their movements in unison, staring in horror at the twenty-one little Four Tails.
This guy can still create clones?!
"Stop it, Naruto!"
At this critical moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally arrived and shouted loudly.
"No! I only listen to Mr. Kakashi's approval.
Nothing you say matters!"
Naruto retorted, pretending to be defiant, and with a grand wave of his hand, all the Shadow Clones rushed forward.
(Kakashi: Naruto, you messed me up...)
