Akari Uchiha

Ch. 70 Two Smiling Jonin, Two Frustrated Genin, and Three Traumatized Chunin

"Water style: multiple shuriken technique!"

"Water style: Water Bullets!"

Both Haru and Akio stood confidently with smug smiles as they saw multiple shuriken and bullets facing off the elite jonin that they were up against.

"There's no way he could dodge that," Akio muttered under his breath, as Haru nodded.

Then Kakashi smirked and they instantly dropped those smug smiles with the new and painful awareness of their near doom.

"Water-style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"

"Aaah! Someone help! Iruka-sensei! Izumo-san! Kotet-" Haru called desperately. "Do somethi-"

His voice cut off as he was dragged along with the stream of water that accompanied the jutsu.

Akio managed to cling to a tree before jumping over the stream of water and trying to balance on it.

"Dammit," he cursed under his breath, spitting the senbon out of his mouth, aiming towards Kakashi, before he saw a snake wrap itself around it, mid-air, and take it down with it.

"Don't forget about me," came Haru's annoying mistress's voice as she dangled her feet, sitting with ease on the tree-branch above him, while chewing on a dango. She three her dango stick to counter the few kunai tossed her way.

Iruka stood on the tree branch in front of her. Anko smirked.

"This will be fun," she licked her lips, and that glint in her eye made Iruka shiver.

Meanwhile the other two chunin were indulged in a battle with Kakashi, who was up in the air, dodging Kotetsu's mace that had just jumped out from below the water.

"Tch! The water makes it predictable!" Kotetsu groaned, as both he and Izumo grabbed the two sides of the kunai blade, trying to slash Kakashi from either side, with a chain attached to both the kunais meant to trap the opponent.

Both surrounded Kakashi the moment his feet touched the water again. The elite jonin simply closed his eyes and pocketed his hands.

Izumo yelped in pain as the Hatake's foot slammed into his ribs, he tried to regain his footing before he felt the same impact once again, just harder, this time making him spit out saliva as he fell on the ground.

Meanwhile Kotetsu tried to regain his footing from after Kakashi dodged his attack, only to feel a kick to the face, making him lose his balance again, before the same foot slammed down on the back of his head, forcing his face under the water, before removing it's weight.

"I thought Lady Tsunade said you were few of the chunin good at combat," they heard Kakashi's voice, deceptively calm, as Kotetsu coughed continuously, trying to get the water out of his system, while Izumo sat there, clutching his chest.

Izumo gritted his teeth, seeing the jonin raise his foot again, preparing himself for another painful impact, when he saw his attacker freeze.

"Sealing technique: complete."

Kakashi arched his head backward to look at the smug academy sensei holding up a 'V' sign to his friends.

"Tch, how troublesome," he grumbled.

"Now, time for revenge," Kotetsu grinned, his voice hoarse from all that coughing.

Both the chunin aimed a punch at the jonin. However, the elite disappeared into a cloud of smoke as soon as their fingers made contact with his skin.

"Heh?" both blinked dumbly.

"A shadow clone?" Iruka muttered to himself from the tree branch that he was perched on.
