3. Kakashi Afraid of Icha-Icha Tactics Spoilers

A few hours before Naruto and Sakura’s training began, Kakashi took some time to read the latest Icha-Icha Tactics series. Jiraiya approached Kakashi and told him that the latest installment of Icha-Icha Tactics, which Kakashi was reading, was the best work Jiraiya had ever written.

When the training session started, Kakashi began teaching Naruto and Sakura how to take the bells from him. However, unlike before, Sakura and Naruto’s current abilities were too advanced for Kakashi to handle while reading a book. Therefore, Kakashi decided to put away his habit of reading during training and prepared to face them seriously, even activating his Sharingan right from the start.

Even though they hadn’t trained together for a long time, Naruto and Sakura’s combination attacks overwhelmed Kakashi. Several old tricks that once worked to trap Naruto and Sakura no longer had any effect. Since the battle lasted for quite a while, Kakashi’s mind began to wander to the continuation of the Icha-Icha Tactics story that he hadn’t finished reading.

Although Sakura and Naruto had grown much stronger, they realized that their abilities still weren’t enough to truly defeat Kakashi. In the end, they discussed and tried to come up with a new plan. During their discussion, Naruto identified a weakness of Kakashi’s that they could exploit: his obsession with Icha-Icha Tactics.

Naruto and Sakura then approached Kakashi. Kakashi initially felt that they were underestimating him because they seemed to be launching an obvious attack. However, Naruto suddenly shouted and attempted to spoil the ending of Icha-Icha Tactics.

Panicking, Kakashi immediately covered both of his ears. Unfortunately, with his Sharingan, he could still read Naruto’s lips as he revealed the spoilers. As a result, Kakashi had to close his eyes to avoid reading more spoilers. Naruto and Sakura used this moment to successfully take the bells from Kakashi.

In the end, Kakashi admitted that Sakura and Naruto had become much stronger. However, he didn’t expect that he would lose in such a ridiculous way.
