Kakashi used his substitution jutsu to replace himself with a log that ended up looking more like a pin cushion, the one eyed man had to admit that the Uchiha had skills in noticing a weak spot. In his thought he told himself, 'At least I know what it is that I can expect with Sasuke and Sakura, even when they take me by surprise they're normal ninjas. Naruto, on the other hand, has an ability to become completely unpredictable. Including his ability to take over a body like a Yamanaka, without any of the drawbacks that is normally associated with their jutsu. I was left feeling dizzy and confused, and would have looked it if I hadn't had the special training that I have had.'
The grey haired ninja knew that even with the Sharingan, he wouldn't have had an advantage against Naruto's ghost powers. It was purely a case of equipment and training to get him out of the way, with that special anti-ghost rope with the extra-strength weave. He just hoped that his students could have used all of their abilities to come at him, but they would have had to figure out the answer to the training. Fighting Sasuke alone without help from Naruto or Sakura, just showed him that they didn't realize the truth behind the test yet.
The two ninjas do battle with each other with kicks and punches that were expected of the combat style of taijutsu, each fighting at a level that was higher than that of a normal genin. Kakashi could only think to the training tactics of the lost clan, 'It's likely that Sasuke was trained hard so that he could become one of the best ninja in all of the village, that's why his fighting style is more refined then the raw style that Naruto uses. It looks like I might have to put a little distance between the two of us.'
The scarecrow man leaped for the woods as he secretly made the hand signs that would create a clone to keep the attention of the Uchiha for a time, while he made sure that Sakura wasn't missing her own lesson in the ninja arts. He managed to track down her in a secluded part of the woods, where she couldn't quite see him but where she could hear him.
"Lesson Two, genjutsu." He said as he did the signs for the demonic illusion: hell viewing jutsu, one of the most basic low ranked jutsu for causing the subject to see a living nightmare. Having been told about what it was that she loved most, it was simple to show an image of Sasuke suffering from some of the most deadly and gruesome injuries that anyone could believe. What the one eyed man couldn't believe was the fact that the young girl fainted from the shock of the image, showing that she had a lot to learn if she was to be a ninja.
'Now I just have to find Sasuke to give him his own lesson in the ninja arts.' He thought to himself as he saw the young boy that he had been looking for with a look of determination on his face. The normally moody boy was smiling at Kakashi, which must mean that there will be major trouble about to hit the fan for the jonin.
"Well, I guess that you'll be taking a lesson on ninjutsu since all of the other lessons have been taken by the other students." he was telling the boy before he was interrupted by his charge.
"I'm different from all of the others." said the black haired young man as he took pride in his words, before moving his hands with great skill so that it formed the fire style: fireball jutsu that was common among his clan when they were alive. One that showed the skills of the genin prospect as that was a chunin level jutsu being performed by a lower level ninja, but then the Uchihas trained hard to perfect any and all fire jutsu so that wasn't a surprise.
Pulling out another chakra powered switch, he avoided the fireball that would have roosted him if he had been in that spot, but that switch allowed the teacher to get the better of the student by letting him sink into the earth under Sasuke without being detected. That was when he used his own jutsu on the young man that hoped to become a ninja, the earth style: headhunter jutsu to pulled down the boy dressed in blue into the earth until it was only his head sticking up from the ground that was now his prison.
"You're right, Sasuke. You are different from Naruto and Sakura, but as we say different is not always better. The nail that sticks up is the one that is going to be hammered down." Kakashi told the young man as he decided to go and check up on the first student to try and kill him during this test. Using the skills of his profession, he arrived to see Naruto finally getting himself free from the anti-ghost rope and figuring out how to get rid of the foam that was now covering him. Falling down to earth, Naruto finally landed in front of the lunches that Kakashi had set up for his students when the final aspect of the test would be revealed if they didn't pass the first aspect of the test. Naruto's stomach growled with the hunger of missing a meal and having a work out after words, proving that the boy was hungry.
Obviously thinking with only his stomach, the young man took on a devilish look on his face as he looked at the lunches. Licking his lips, he spoke out loud, "No one said it would be against the rules for me to have a little break to get my second wind. A little food and I should be back in the game." Naruto reached out to take the lunch that would have gone to the 'winners'. He takes a box and prepared to sit and eat, Kakashi caught him while wearing his special gloves and use some of the special rope that was remaining to tie the ghost boy to one of the wooden posts.
"Except that it wouldn't be fair to the other students who have been working hard on empty stomachs, now would it? So you will be waiting here until the test ends in, oh, the next couple of minutes." He told the violet boy, noticing that the boy needed work on his strategy. In his mind, 'You would think that he noticed that he could phase through the wood of the post.' He then waited for his students to show up before the time limit ended.
