There is a huge difference between a competition and a life-and-death battle. A ninja that is strong enough will basically have one or two special moves. As long as they hit the enemy, they can defeat the enemy, but this is definitely not used often.
In the thick fog, the Sharingan, which relies on vision to function, was basically paralyzed. Although Kakashi himself was also subject to the same limitations, the experience of fighting in such conditions was not as good as his for the three of them combined.
We can only rely on perception and experience to judge the enemy's position, which has a huge impact on the battle.
Kakashi knew that he was at a disadvantage. Facing three on one, he had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.
Although using the Mist Hiding Technique would limit the display of one's own strength, the biggest advantage was that the three students would be subject to more restrictions.
If measured by numbers, a combat power of 100 will absolutely crush a combat power of 50, but this is not necessarily the case if it is ten versus five. The probability of factors other than absolute strength influencing the outcome will greatly increase.
"As expected of a Konoha technician, as long as there is enough chakra consumption, the advantage in the field of conventional combat is too great."
Kakashi is not just a theorist who only knows how to study and practice. His greatest advantage is that he can demonstrate his strength in actual combat.
The balance of power between the two sides has not yet reversed, but it is undoubtedly Hatake Kakashi who takes the initiative for the time being.
Putting aside those divine arts that have long gone beyond the scope of ordinary ninjutsu, in the classic duel of traditional ninjas, almost no one can directly suppress Hatake Kakashi.
A genius is someone who, at some level, can extremely strongly evoke the positive value emotions of ordinary people. They are far ahead in the path they are good at and receive the admiration, envy and pursuit of others.
Kakashi Hatake is a true genius.
The three students in Class 7 cannot use wind jutsu yet. The only one whose chakra attribute is wind is Uzumaki Naruto, and it is still too early for him to experience changes in the nature of wind-attributed chakra.
At this time, the one who could play the biggest role was Haruno Sakura, who had barely been able to display her full strength just now.
"Naruto, your shadow clone should stop running around and cooperate with my actions!"
"What?"
Uzumaki Naruto, who had never seen Sakura's combat performance in the Chunin Exam, had no idea what she was going to do!
"Stop talking nonsense and don't disrupt the formation!"
In this environment, Sakura, who has the best perception, is the ninja who is most capable of detecting changes in the surroundings.
Sasuke is very powerful and has a lot of combat experience. Even if he acts alone, there will be no problem for a while, but Sakura and Naruto will be in danger.
The two must work together to ensure their own safety.
Knowing that she was the only one who could resolve this dilemma for the time being, Sakura quickly released five shadow clones, and then used puppetry that was rarely shown in public.
The main body uses chakra threads to control the shadow clone, and then lets the shadow clone control Naruto's shadow clone.
"Hey, Sakura, what are you doing?"
"Don't resist my manipulation. Be careful to protect your own body."
The method used was the same as the one used to fight Uchiha Sasuke more than two years ago, the only difference was that this time, there were more shadow clones of Uzumaki Naruto for him to control, and his opponent was the much stronger Hatake Kakashi.
"Ah, I see. This is puppetry? I didn't expect it could be used like this!"
Shadow clones, which are easily defeated one by one, will effectively resist adverse situations and greatly improve their self-preservation capabilities if they act together under the command of the same will.
Shuimu only mentioned this thoughtful way of fighting casually. Shuimu had never actually practiced or operated it, and he didn't know how to do it himself, so naturally he couldn't teach it.
I don’t know if it’s a good thing to let Sakura get involved in everything, because it will inevitably distract her from the key points.
The more ninjutsu and fighting methods you learn, the better. Being broad but not specialized will also cause some problems. These minor methods are important supplements, but the Sage Mode, Sage Techniques, and Sealing Techniques are the key points.
Regardless, Sakura and Naruto managed to find some ways to deal with the current situation.
The actual effect still needs to be tested in practice.
The shadow clones connected by chakra threads formed a large net. Under Sakura's control, they swept towards the direction that sensed Hatake Kakashi's chakra. Even if some shadow clones were attacked and exploded in a short period of time, it would not affect the advancing formation at all.
A protracted war would definitely be disadvantageous to Hatake Kakashi.
The means to temporarily solve Kakashi's chakra shortage was also provided by Mizuki.
The method is very simple. It provides a scroll for conveniently storing chakra, which can be used as a disposable "energy battery" that can only be used for this one battle.
There are many temporary measures like this, and many barriers have key nodes for saving chakra.
It was easy to extract this function, but it was not easy to seal it in a scroll that could be carried around and used to access chakra.
The main problem is that the materials are hard to find, they are usually scrapped after one use, the materials are precious, and the efficiency is relatively low.
When Mizuki first crossed over, he used this method to collect a large amount of chakra, and in the Forest of Death, he dealt a heavy blow to Orochimaru.
The amount of chakra stored by this method is limited by the materials. Once released, Shuimu can only slightly control the release speed of the sealed chakra. Once it is completely consumed, it will completely turn into ash.
At Kakashi's request, Mizuki gave him a trial. The effect was only mediocre, barely enough to sustain a short-term high-intensity battle.
This method also had very few side effects. After all, the chakra sealed in the scroll was input by Kakashi himself in the past few days, and it would not conflict with his own chakra.
After accumulating for several days, there is only this little bit, which is really difficult for Kakashi.
However, judging by the current situation, Kakashi's idea of using chakra sparingly might not work.
If the tactic of defeating them one by one does not work, it will be necessary to resort to large-scale attack ninjutsu.
Kakashi undoubtedly has this ability, and for the time being he has enough chakra to give it a try.
At this moment, a huge chakra suddenly surged, and a large stream of water rushed straight past, rolling towards Naruto's shadow clones. Chakra smoke rose, and the figures that were hit kept disappearing.
An A-level water jutsu, with Kakashi's own chakra amount, it is questionable whether he can maintain the Mist Hidden Technique after using it, but for now, he can hold on for the time being.
Facing the water jutsu attack, Sakura did not dare to be careless. She supported herself on the ground with her hands and a circular earth flow wall protected herself and Naruto. The effect of earth jutsu against water jutsu was quite good.
