As Kakashi closed the distance the Iwa-nin’s face distorted into a grin. Before Kakashi could realize why the ninja placed his right fist on his left palm while pointing both towards Kakashi. The next instant a loud explosion followed quickly engulfing the copy ninja. Out of the cloud of smoke Kakashi’s wounded body could be seen flying before dispersing into lighting that shot towards the Iwa-nin.

Caught off guard the Ninja tried to dodge by jumping only to feel a pair of hands grasping his feet. With a snap judgment the ninja pointed his hands towards the floor. What followed was a loud explosion that sent the Iwa-nin flying up high.

Kakashi for his part couldn’t help but sigh while hiding behind another pillar. He had wanted to end it quickly with a simple diversion combo but dealing with the explosion corpse of Iwa was, is, and would always be a pain in the ass.

Not only that but he needed to keep an eye on the rest of his team so he could save them should they need his help. For all intents and purposes they shouldn’t be confronting another ninja this early in their career. At least the fact it's three against one is keeping them safe somewhat.

Sakura for her part stayed back throwing kunai and shuriken to try and hamper the enemy’s movements. More than once her timely distraction had saved Sasuke and Naruto from a nasty hit. However, she was running out of ninja tools. Overall things were looking grim for the genins. That is until Naruto’s patience finally ran out.

“Get back here you coward or I will be forced to use my secret technique! Believe it!” Seeing as the man continued to run around Naruto finally lost it. He began creating more and more clones. However instead of just chasing the man the clones began dispersing, hiding behind stalagmites and pillars.

Both Sasuke and Sakura became confused from Naruto’s actions until the Ninja passed too close to one of the pillars. Suddenly a Naruto clone jumped from behind the pillar trying to punch the enemy. Like before whenever a clone came to close the Iwa-nin dodge and kicked the clone. A puff of smoke later and the Iwa-nin’s eyes almost popped out from the surprise.

“The Tomoka’s special! Exploding clones!” Naruto shouted as a lit explosive paper was left behind by his dispersed clone. A moment later another explosion could be heard as the pillar and Ninja were blown away.
