"There are none. If you don't come at me with intent to kill, you won't get far."

Chihiro suddenly has a kunai in her hand and is lunging at Kakashi, the fastest she's ever moved-

Permalink

-but Kakashi is faster, and has her wrist in a lock and one hand braced against the back of her head before she gets to his original position.

"Now, now. I didn't say 'start' yet."

Permalink

"Now you did."

He hadn't told Chihiro about the telepathy cantrip. It's one-way anyways, and it's not like he trusts her that much.

'Naruto, clones,' he whispers into the blond's mind.

And then he uses the substitution technique with Chihiro - hopefully she won't fight him on that -

Permalink

And have a field of about a thousand blonds.

Permalink

She doesn't fight the substitution, and immediately transforms and does a substitution of her own to get lost in the crowd.

Permalink

Kakashi lets go of the one he's holding and disappears into the trees.

Permalink

Transform and substitute as well.

Permalink

Naruto almost seamlessly has the ones they substitute with turn into them.

And then the clones scatter for the trees.

Permalink

It's possible to track Kakashi's path by the series of snapped traps and dispelled clones.

Permalink

If you mistook Naruto for an endless clone machine you would be only slightly off the mark. Also he had an idea from Chihiro saying his clones should be able to use all his techniques, so 'the one producing more clones' is no longer an accurate way to find Naruto.

(It's hard to make this many when he's calm but he's worked up right now, so.)

Also, at Sasuke's nudging, he'll find the not-clone that's also a not-Sasuke, and say, "Sasuke's gonna go for the hit, can you try to get the bells then? I'll be keeping rushing him with clones."

Permalink

Not-Clone Not-Sasuke nods, and takes off to circle around behind.

Permalink

Sugira waits for her to be in probable position (as confirmed by Naruto, who's using clone dismissals as a communication method). 

And then he joins the Naruto crowd around Kakashi - 

There's several Naruto clones holding back, apparently waiting (providing cover for Sugira's image of himself standing still, and it makes him effectively invisible as he casts True Strike, and then Shocking Grasp, lunging for Kakashi - 

He'd be able to hit an archmage with this combination, even if any archmage worth the title would shrug off the damaging spell - 

Permalink

Sugira's hand connects with Kakashi's body, and there's a visible twitch as the lightning discharges-

Permalink

-and Chihiro darts past, snatching the pair of bells dangling from his pocket.

Permalink

He lands, de-transforms (now visible, his Illusion of Calm having broken), and says, "Do we win?"

He's out of non-cantrips so if they don't...

Permalink

"At least one of you does."

Permalink

Chihiro tosses a bell at Sasuke.

Permalink

He catches it. "I'm not passing without my whole team."

Permalink

"Well then. I suppose I have no choice. I'll see you back at the start." He poofs away.

Permalink

He rolls his eyes, and starts walking over.

Permalink

Naruto gets there first. He seems to have more energy than he did when they started.

Permalink

"In the Academy," Kakashi says once everyone's there, "your teachers wanted you to succeed. That is no longer the case. From now on, your opponents want nothing more than to see you fail. They will lie to you, make you angry, try to divide you, trick you, stack the odds against you. You will face situations where it is almost certain not all of you will come back alive. To succeed, you must be able to trust and work with your comrades no matter what. Remember, those who break the rules are trash, but those who abandon their teammates are worse than trash."

Permalink

"Congratulations! As of now, all three of you are genin of Konohagakure!"

Permalink

"Ahahahaha we're the best! Go team awesome!" Naruto jumps up, punches the air, hugs Sasuke, and grins at Chihiro.
