Chapter 78: Does Kakashi-sensei also have Sharingan?
The Land of Waves, dawn.
"Get up, everyone!"
Kakashi's lazy voice rang out from outside the door.
"Special training begins. This is not only for the upcoming Chunin Selection Exams, but also to prepare for potential powerful enemies in the future."
Naruto rubbed his sleepy eyes, his golden hair sticking up messily. He yawned widely and mumbled indistinctly, "Special training—Kakashi-sensei, can't we sleep a little longer?"
Sasuke silently stretched his stiff neck, showing fatigue but also anticipation.
He would not let go of any opportunity to improve his strength.
Sakura was relatively more alert. She stretched her aching arms and asked with some worry, "Kakashi-sensei, are you going to steal the bells again?"
Kakashi leisurely held "Icha Icha Paradise".
"Well, you always have to pay a price to get stronger. But don't worry, I'll tailor a training plan to each of your individual strengths."
He looked up and glanced thoughtfully at Sasuke.
"Sasuke, I have some personal insights about the use of the Sharingan that might inspire you. Although I'm not good at genjutsu, I have accumulated some unique insights into how to more effectively conserve chakra and improve the efficiency of dynamic vision and copying abilities."
Upon hearing this, Sasuke paused slightly in wiping his face.
Sharingan?
This is a bloodline limit unique to the Uchiha clan, and outsiders can never understand its mysteries.
Kakashi-sensei.
How did he learn so many techniques for using the Sharingan?
Kakashi saw right through Sasuke's little scheme and lazily lifted the Konoha headband that was covering his left eye.
The next moment, Sasuke's pupils suddenly contracted, and his breathing faltered.
He revealed the expression on his face when he first saw Naruto in his dream!
In Kakashi's left eye socket was a scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan!
It exudes an all-seeing sharpness.
"Kakashi-sensei—you—your eyes!" Sasuke never dreamed that his team leader, a Jonin, would also have Sharingan, and that his eye power far surpassed Sasuke's.
This completely overturned his previous understanding.
Kakashi lowered his headband, covering his left eye—a place steeped in history—once again, and said wistfully, "This eye was a gift from a very important friend of mine, not obtained through any improper means. So, Sasuke, I can still give you some pointers on the basic uses and combat techniques of the Sharingan."
Sasuke was deeply shocked upon hearing this.
A gift from a dear friend
In his gaze toward Kakashi, besides the original admiration, a more complex expression had been added.
To entrust such precious eyes to Kakashi-sensei, that close friend must be an extraordinary person.
But the words came back again.
The fact that this person would give his eyes to Kakashi shows that he—
Sasuke quickly grasped the key point and nodded solemnly.
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei! Please help me!"
Kakashi's experience was like a timely rain for Sasuke, who was eager to improve his Sharingan control.
He immediately became fully focused on studying.
Kakashi analyzes everything from the precise control of chakra to the ultimate capture of dynamic vision, from improving the efficiency of copying ninjutsu to the tactical application of the Sharingan in battle, combining his own combat experience to provide a profound yet easy-to-understand explanation.
Sasuke listened, completely absorbed.
After Sasuke finishes his instruction.
Then, Kakashi said to Naruto, "Naruto, your battle instincts are extremely sharp, and your chakra reserves far exceed those of ordinary people. Next, I will teach you some ninjutsu that suit you, as well as how to use your shadow clones more flexibly in battle."
Your fighting style shouldn't be limited to just Rasengan and swarm tactics. Having more diverse methods will be more beneficial for your future growth and performance.
"Really?! That's amazing! I want to learn the ultimate ninjutsu!"
Upon hearing that he could learn a new ninjutsu, Naruto was so excited that he danced with joy, his eyes shining, and his previous fatigue and drowsiness vanished.
After teaching Naruto, Kakashi pointed out the details of Sakura's battles, analyzed her over-reliance on brute force and Sasuke in battle, and taught her a very practical Earth Release ninjutsu.
Of course, this isn't the signature "Heart-Slaying Technique," but rather a modified version of "Earth Release:..." that's more defensive and supportive.
Earth flow wall".
However, due to issues with chakra reserves and proficiency, Sakura's first Earth Release: Earth Wall was pitifully small in scale.
Watching the three members of Class 7 training under the morning sun, Kakashi leaned against a tree trunk, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his face. For some reason, he felt quite pleased with himself.
In fact, as a Jonin, one generally does not need to be taught ninjutsu.
The duties of a Jonin are more about guiding subordinates on how to carry out missions, how to become a qualified ninja, and how to survive on the brutal battlefield.
The transmission of ninjutsu largely depends on the accumulated knowledge of various clans and the individual's fortuitous circumstances.
However, after spending so many days "spending time" together in the Dream Theater, Kakashi and the three little ones have become quite familiar with each other and have developed a strong bond.
At the same time, he was always worried about the person behind the scenes and Orochimaru.
They were eager to improve the three little ones' strength in order to prevent unexpected situations where they themselves would be unable to take care of themselves.
Meanwhile, in the distant Hidden Leaf Village, in the Hokage's office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was calmly reviewing documents, his signature pipe dangling from his lips.
He unconsciously tapped the mahogany table with his left index finger, clearly not as relaxed as he appeared.
"Knock knock knock".
A steady knock sounded on the door.
"Come in."
A member of the secret service wearing a raccoon mask slipped silently into the office like a ghost and knelt on one knee.
"Lord Hokage."
"How is the situation?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head, his peaceful gaze suddenly turning sharp.
"Reporting back to the Hokage."
"As per your instructions, we have thoroughly searched the area surrounding Konoha Village, including all abandoned buildings and hidden caves that could have been used as temporary bases, but we have not found any suspicious corpses or any signs of recent battles around the village."
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned even more deeply.
There's no household registration? Could it be that the information Kakashi sent back was incorrect?
But then I thought about it again, Kakashi has always been steady and reliable in his actions.
Since he specifically used the ninja dog Pakkun to send back intelligence urgently, he must have discovered something.
After pondering for a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi decided to trust this reliable subordinate.
Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly began, "Continue the investigation. We can expand the search area further. Also, closely monitor for any recent reports of missing outsiders in the village, and for any suspicious individuals among the Chunin Exam applicants. Orochimaru is secretive and cunning; we must not let our guard down and must take precautions."
"Yes, Lord Hokage!" The Anbu member accepted the order and disappeared without a trace, as if he had never been there.
Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the pipe on the table again, took a deep drag, and exhaled a thick white smoke ring.
Amidst the swirling smoke, his gaze grew increasingly profound and unfathomable.
Over the next few days, under Kakashi's targeted training, the three members of Team 7 all showed a significant and visible improvement in their strength.
Especially Sasuke.
During the day, Kakashi meticulously instructed him on practical Sharingan techniques and precise chakra control. He could also engage in high-intensity sparring with Naruto, who was also making rapid progress in real life, allowing them to mutually reinforce what they had learned.
At night, in his dreams, he can learn the most exquisite Fire Release ninjutsu of the Uchiha school and the deep application techniques of the Sharingan from the "real" Naruto. He can even arrange a training match with the incredibly strong dream Naruto.
Such relentless training day and night caused Sasuke's strength to increase at an almost rapid pace.
Naruto also made rapid progress.
Kakashi taught him not only a few new ninjutsu, but more importantly, the strategic thinking and flexible application of combat techniques.
His enormous chakra reserves, far exceeding those of ordinary people, and his unrestrained combat wisdom, after receiving proper guidance and systematic refinement, began to unleash astonishing potential.
He learned how to allocate chakra more effectively, how to cleverly combine shadow clones with taijutsu and ninjutsu, and his mastery of the Rasengan became increasingly proficient. Although he was still far from perfect execution, its power was already considerable.
Sakura was also gritting her teeth and trying her best to catch up with her two companions.
Despite everything in reality being moving in a positive direction and Team 7's strength steadily improving, Kakashi's unease grew day by day.
He astutely noticed that since Itachi Uchiha easily defeated Orochimaru in Sasuke's dream a few days ago, neither Itachi Uchiha nor Minato-sensei had shown any follow-up investigation or due vigilance towards Orochimaru in Sasuke's dreams these past few days.
As if Orochimaru's threat had been completely eliminated, the entire dream world was calm and peaceful, almost unnaturally so.
I have a feeling that some bigger, more secretive conspiracy is brewing in the shadows.
During this period, the bridge construction project in the Land of Waves did not proceed as smoothly as expected.
The unscrupulous merchant Kado, driven by profit, was not willing to give up so easily. He sent several waves of warriors to harass and sabotage the bridge in an attempt to stop its construction.
However, the strength of these rabble was worlds apart from that of Zabuza and Haku, and they were utterly vulnerable.
Kakashi was too lazy to even take action himself. He was happy to leave these sparring partners who offered themselves up to him to the three little ones who desperately needed to accumulate practical experience.
Thanks to Tocado, the three little ones' practical experience and teamwork skills have been greatly improved in battle after battle. From initially being a bit flustered and fighting alone, they were able to cooperate tacitly and have a clear division of labor in just a few days.
