Chapter 23 - Whirlpool Elbow Strike

Konoha, Third Training Ground.

Two figures, one large and one small, stood facing each other a few meters apart.

"Wind Release: Finger Gun."

Naruto suddenly raised both hands, pointing his index fingers at Kakashi like a pistol. Immediately, Wind-natured Chakra gathered and compressed at his fingertips, finally shooting out like bullets.

This move looked like the Navy's Six Styles from One Piece, but it was actually Naruto's improved version of the signless Wind Release: Vacuum Bullet. At least he didn't need to attack with his mouth anymore; shooting with his fingers looked much cooler than before.

Naruto started with more than a dozen Vacuum Bullets fired straight at Kakashi, while simultaneously clapping his hands together, creating several Shadow Clones that began forming Rasengans.

Signless ninjutsu was extremely advantageous in Ninja battles. Not needing hand seals meant you could release ninjutsu faster than your opponent, allowing you to seize the initiative in battle, launch an attack first, and keep your opponent under your attack rhythm.

Seeing Naruto release Wind Release ninjutsu without hand seals, Kakashi's visible eye narrowed slightly. He had already lost the initiative, and coupled with the need to use defensive ninjutsu to defend, one step slow would lead to every step slow.

Fortunately, his hand seal speed was among the fastest in the entire Ninja world, releasing ninjutsu almost instantly.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall."

A wall of earth carved with a dog's head immediately rose from the ground, blocking all the Vacuum Bullets before they hit Kakashi, stirring up a large amount of dust.

"It's not over yet, one-eyed uncle!"

"Wind Release: Rasengan."

In just this short time, Naruto was already standing on top of the Earth Flow Wall, jumping down while forming a Rasengan.

Kakashi's movements did not stop at all. After releasing the Earth Flow Wall, he had already retreated quickly.

"Boom!"

The Rasengan in Naruto's hand landed in empty space, and the violently compressed Chakra directly blasted a huge pit in the ground.

Seeing this, Kakashi's eyes twitched wildly. While retreating, he formed hand seals again.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."

Kakashi put his right hand in front of his mouth and directly spewed it out at Naruto, who didn't have time to react.

"Bang!"

Faced with such a close-range Great Fireball, Naruto didn't have time to dodge and directly turned into a cloud of smoke.

Kakashi was not surprised by this. His retreating body stepped on the ground with one foot, quickly squatted down, and exerted force, his whole body changing direction to the side again, leaping up.

"Boom!"

Four Naruto figures emerged from the ground at the same time, forming Rasengans and blasting towards the position where Kakashi had landed before.

Seeing that there was no one in the original place, the four clones stopped their respective movements, holding the Rasengans in their hands, and looked up into the air at the same time.

Kakashi formed the hand seals again, his body leaning back slightly, making an inhaling motion, and suddenly spewed out several gas attacks.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Bullet."

The dense Wind-natured Chakra bullets directly shattered the four clones.

However, Kakashi was not careless, because he could not see any Naruto figures on the scene, so he must have used a *遁术* to hide.

"Whoosh—"

Kakashi landed directly on the river surface. Standing here, he didn't have to worry about Naruto ambushing him from underground.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough."

A gust of wind suddenly came from behind Kakashi. The violent wind made it difficult for Kakashi to open his eyes and raise his head. The wind force continued to increase, trying to overturn him directly.

Kakashi struggled to form hand seals.

"Water Release: Water Formation Wall."

A huge wall of water rose directly from the river surface under Kakashi's feet, blocking Naruto's Wind Release.

Standing behind the Water Formation Wall, Kakashi also found Naruto's location through the direction of the Wind Release. He formed hand seals with both hands, and his whole person directly appeared behind Naruto, who was performing the Great Breakthrough.

Naruto, who was blowing wind, suddenly widened his eyes. In the corner of his eye, a huge fist went straight for his cheek.

"Bang!"

"Another Shadow Clone?"

Kakashi looked at Naruto, who had once again exploded into a cloud of smoke, and couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Does this guy have so much Chakra in just one clone?

"Shu!"

Kakashi immediately dodged to the side. Naruto's Chakra-covered fist landed directly in front of Kakashi, creating another burst of flying sand and rocks, leaving a large pit in place.

Kakashi used the impact to quickly retreat, and Naruto also rushed out of the smoke area, leaping high into the sky, rushing straight towards Kakashi.

Naruto adjusted his posture in the air, bending his right arm at the elbow, preparing to use the elbow bone as a striking point.

Is he planning to use Taijutsu?

Kakashi guessed in his heart, standing still, preparing to compete with Naruto in Taijutsu.

Naruto had already jumped to the highest point, his elbow wrapped in Chakra, using all his strength, his elbow pressed down at extreme speed.

"One-Eyed Uncle, eat my Whirlpool Elbow Strike!"

Looking at the approaching Chakra-covered elbow, Kakashi's gaze suddenly condensed, and he pressed his hands on the ground again, forming hand seals.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall."

Another earth wall rose from the ground, heading towards Naruto, who was performing the elbow strike.

However, in Kakashi's shocked gaze, Naruto directly elbowed the rising earth wall in half, attacking him with unstoppable momentum.

Kakashi subconsciously raised his hands to block in a cross.

But immediately afterwards, Kakashi's pupils shrank sharply, and an unspeakable force came from the arms at the intersection of his two hands.

Kakashi's feet left the ground directly, and he was elbowed away. The vision in front of him was blurred. Looking at the dazzling sun in the sky, he seemed to see his deceased father smiling at him.

"Bang!"

Kakashi, who was elbowed away, directly exploded into a cloud of smoke.

Naruto suddenly felt a slight chill on his neck. He turned his head and saw that the real Kakashi was already holding a Kunai to his neck.

"Sorry, One-Eyed Uncle, I couldn't make you use your full strength."

"Hahahaha."

Facing the Kunai, Naruto originally kept a straight face to say these words, but in the end, he couldn't help but laugh.

Kakashi revealed a dead fish eye and withdrew the Kunai.

"Your ninjutsu without hand seals is really troublesome."

It was because Naruto's ninjutsu without hand seals directly seized the initiative that Kakashi had to use ninjutsu to block, so he fell into Naruto's offensive rhythm, and then he was suppressed and beaten all the time.

Fortunately, his Body Flicker Technique and hand seal speed were fast enough, otherwise he would have lost face today.

In the past month, Kakashi had fought Naruto several times. From the initial crushing, he was now facing Naruto with increasing difficulty, and it was almost a 50-50 split.

Naruto patted the dust off his body and said with a smile, "It's obvious that One-Eyed Uncle, you don't play high-end games enough. Who uses hand seals seriously?"

Kakashi's dead fish eyes were full of speechlessness, "Hand seals can better guide and control Chakra, so as to ensure the successful activation of ninjutsu and save Chakra."

"You'll be proficient in ninjutsu after releasing it a few more times," Naruto said indifferently, and suddenly showed a cheap smile, "As for saving that little Chakra, who cares about that little Chakra seriously?"

"You guy, you can't waste Chakra casually even if you have a lot of it. What if there is an emergency?"

"You practice on your own first, and let Guy teach you taijutsu when he comes."

Kakashi's dead fish eyes were even more speechless. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he took out a Yellow Book from his Ninja Tool Pouch and went to the tree.

Looking at Kakashi's appearance, Naruto couldn't help but want to complain.

"One-Eyed Uncle, you should read less of those little yellow books, otherwise you will be even weaker in the future."

Kakashi just rolled his eyes and ignored Naruto.

Looking at Kakashi, who was addicted to eroticism, Naruto could only shake his head in disappointment and started to exercise on his own.
