"So which one you guys choose." Kakashi asked after they finished taking their break.
"I'll take chokutō and ten kunai." Sasuke said, playing safe with his choice based on OG Sasuke choice.
"I'll take brass knuckle and some kunai." Naruto said, going for what Sasuke suggested.
Sakura gave the same answer, making Kakashi look at Sasuke.
'Lets see how accurate is your choice.' Kakashi thought, who viewed Sasuke as the leader among the trio.
Sasuke noticed Kakashi stare and misundertood his thought: 'Don't look at me like that, they were always a fist fighter as far I have seen, so I was playing safe.'
"Okay, lets start with Sasuke." Kakashi said, already in his fighting stance.
Sasuke took his stance and grabbed chokutō he took from the pile.
'It would not hurt to use Sharigan.' Sasuke then opened his 'one tomoe Sharingan'.
'So he already awakened it.'
Thanks to EMS already enhanced anaylsis ability withoit Bunseki, Sasuke predicted he would be kicked on abdomen, so he took distance away from Kakashi.
'He is already throwing them.'
Sasuke dodged some Kunai in nick of time, but with bruises on his legs and shoulder.
'He has good reflex in his age.'
Kakashi resumed his assault, giving no room for Sasuke to attack.
Sasuke tried to block each strike with his chokutō, but still accumulate injuries since his body reaction time could not keep up with his EMS.
'Wait, why EMS is suggesting he would not strike me?' Sasuke was confused who could still see kunai of Kakashi aiming on him.
However, the direction of the strike was different and Sasuke understood what he was going to do.
"Eek!!" Sakura screamed when Kakashi kunai strike on Sakura was blocked by Sasuke's chokutō.
However due to letting his guard down, Kakashi kicked him on the abdomen, casuing him to fall in the ground.
"Good job defending her, but you shouldn't have let go of your guard just because you blocked it."
Sasuje lied down, no longer have strength to fight.
Sakura was still scared with the sudden attack, while Naruto pissed off by Kakashi and roared: "Why did you attack her like that?! She was not fightning in the first place!"
Kakashi rolled his eyes and replied: "Do you
you really think any enemy will be that honourable to fight you?"
Kakashi continued: "The number rule of being Shinobi, no enemy adhere to any rule during mission and combat, so what I did to Sakura what just common sense."
"She is least capable one to fight and she let go of her guard, so I attack her as an enemy."
"Remember Naruto, no enemy will be afraid to kill you, your friends and your teammates, so it upto you to defend yourselves or others when you get the chance just like Sasuke did."
Naruto was still pissed and did not understand reality of the world, but Sakura understood Kakashi words and tried to calm down Naruto.
Kakashi looked at Sasuke chokutō and praised Sasuke skill in Kenjutsu, believing he was taught by either his father or his Brother.
'I should try to suggest Hokage to implent Kenjutsu in the curriculum.' Kakashi thought, believed in effectiveness of Kenjutsu compare to Taijutsu, where only Might Guy, his apprentice, Hyūga Clan and Akimichi clan can use it effectively.
But Kakashi sighed and remembered Hokage and elder council were extremely reluctant to change, despite Kenjutsu being prominent in most clans during warring state era.
Kakashi then looked at Sakura and commenced their fight.
***
'They still have a long way to go.' Kakashi thought about Sakura and Naruto who did not last more than Sasuke.
Kakashi was less harsh on Sakura, believing her to be a support class shinobi like Kurenai who stall or trapped enemies through Genjutsu while also healing his teammate by Medical Ninjutsu.
'Don't worry, you will get a good teacher for Medical Ninjutsu.' Kakashi smiled at Sakura, with a hint of darkness.
Sakura felt a chill in her spine, wondering whether the weather turned cold.
"Anyway, dont forget to hone your skills at home, because after two days you will do your first mission in my supervision."
Everyone nod, already expecting it, except Sasuke face soured when Kakashi revealed it will be C-rank mission.
"Shouldn't we doing D-rank mission before going for that?" Sasuke asked, wondering what Kakashi is planning.
Kakashi coughed to clear up his throat and replied: "You are right, as recently graduated Genin, you should be doing D-rank mission, but, it unfair to hog those missions from your peers with your guys strength and so to hone you guys, I personally requested Lord 3rd to give you guys C-rank mission in advance and only them until you guys are allowed to take B-rank mission."
Both Naruto and Sakura were touched and feel respected from his sensei so they did not argue.
Sasuke on the other hand, had a stiff smile.
'So you already want us to have get used to killing.'
Sasuke heart was beating first, since he soon going to kill someone or at least an animal, which he never done before.
But he did not refused Kakashi when given the chance, not delusion enough to think he won't kill someone.
'It primarily rule of shinobi world, where you kill or be killed.'
Sasuke breathe heavily and calm himself, before Sakura and Naruto notice him.
Kakashi sighed and did not blame Sasuke for it.
'It was normal feeling any shinobi felt at first.'
After telling the time and location, Kakashi body flickered away while Sasuke and Sakura was debating what to eat today.
***
"Damm it! Is it harder than I thought!" Sasuke yelled with frustration, with more bruises in his body.
Due to sound proof property of the seal inside underground floor of Naka shrine, Sasuke sometimes do not cared to keep his thought to himself.
' I managed learn to use Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson and Wind Release: Great Breakthrough during my spare time, but this is so much harder!'
Unlike other two jutsu, Light Release: Chakra Mode requires him to have enough chakra control and lightning chakra to cover his body.
The main issue was his chakra control that still not proficient in covering his body without harming him, resulting in further bruises covering his body.
It was an A rank jutsu after all, mis-labelled as B rank by the Uchiha, where Sasuke did not know.
'Good thing I had Bunseki to guide me or else I would punctured my internal organs by now.' Sasuke thought, while feeling pain throughout his body.
Looking at severity of his injury, Sasuke did not prolonged any longer and apply medicine kept in Naka shrine and bandaged to cover it before returning to his place to sleep early for recovery.
