The twelve-year-old Sasuke had a mindset that was a bit too arrogant.
Kakashi Hatake had never seen such a brazen Genin, who bluntly compared the opponents in the Chunin Exam to ants he encountered while walking...
After listening to Uchiha Sasuke's argument, Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye, and he really wanted to find an opportunity to teach Sasuke a lesson...
"Sasuke."
"Your strength is indeed something to be proud of."
Kakashi Hatake sighed and looked up at the sunlight streaming through the gaps in the leaves: "But I want to tell you, the world of ninja isn't a place where one person can make it to the end alone. A ninja who doesn't value their companions is worse than trash. This time in the Chunin Exam, you'll be participating with Naruto and Sakura together..."
"I understand."
Uchiha Sasuke interrupted Kakashi Hatake, nodding in agreement: "Since we were assigned to the same team, I've been very sure about one thing: Naruto is a very important companion to me..."
"..."
Kakashi Hatake felt a headache coming.
What's with this subordinate?
Apart from being a bit arrogant, why is there nothing worth educating?
Generally, ninja with strong individual strength tend to be overly self-centered, viewing their weaker companions as burdens and never caring about their teammates when doing anything. Kakashi Hatake himself made this mistake in his youth...
However...
Despite the significant difference in strength between Uchiha Sasuke, Naruto Uzumaki, and Haruno Sakura, he still respects and values his teammates, even willing to help them in training...
A bit...
Making it difficult for Kakashi Hatake to understand his mindset.
Sometimes, Uchiha Sasuke behaves very extremely, acting and speaking arrogantly; other times, he appears calm and mature.
It's not...
What on earth is up with you, kid!
Can't you make some mistakes that young people are supposed to make? At least say something like companions are just burdens during this time, so that I can give you some direct education, and at least let me, as your instructor Jonin, have a little sense of presence!
"Kakashi-sensei."
Uchiha Sasuke seemed to understand Kakashi Hatake's thoughts very well and spoke softly: "I've heard that Kakashi-sensei is proficient in Lighting Release Ninjutsu. I've always only used Lighting Release Chakra to enhance cell activation to increase my speed. Can I ask Kakashi-sensei to teach me something about the development of Lighting Release Ninjutsu..."
This was learned from Akihara Kagura.
If a person wants to use some power, it requires laying out the groundwork for the power that needs to be exposed, making it traceable.
In the real world, Akihara Kagura is extremely proficient in this kind of thing, even setting up many plots for the numerous powers in his body, like Wood Release, Rinnegan, and Sharingan, ensuring that before the final battle began, no one in the Ninja World ever suspected any abnormalities in him.
Uchiha Sasuke, after seeing Karin and Gaara, thought there were some opponents in this Chunin Exam that would require extra power, but he didn't want to attract the world's attention. So he needed to learn Akihara Kagura's approach.
No choice.
Because the example is right in front of me.
This path of making one's power reasonably appear in the Ninja World has already been completely walked through by Akihara Kagura in the real world; I just need to continue following this path.
"Already starting to touch on Chakra attributes?"
"Let me see how you use Lighting Attribute Chakra..."
Kakashi Hatake immediately became intrigued and finally found the meaning of his existence as the instructor Jonin; he was quite confident about his Lighting Release Ninjutsu: "At least I have some degree of proficiency in Lighting Release Ninjutsu..."
"Lightning Release Chakra Mode!"
Uchiha Sasuke's body suddenly erupted with a strong surge of Chakra, forming a substantial-like Chakra that enveloped his body, gathering into a large mass of Chakra, arcs of electricity flickering around Uchiha Sasuke continuously!
Uchiha Sasuke swung his arm, punching the large tree beside him, which was instantly smashed apart by a single punch!
"Such a level of attack with a casual blow..."
When Kakashi Hatake saw this scene, his heart immediately tightened!
It's not...
This Jutsu...
This Lightning Release Chakra Mode...
Why does it look a bit like The Hidden Cloud Village's Raikage Secret Technique?
Kakashi Hatake recalled his teacher once encountering a Raikage candidate from The Hidden Cloud Village and mentioning some things about The Hidden Cloud Village...
It's said that the Raikages of The Hidden Cloud Village would train in a kind of Nin-Taijutsu from generation to generation, activating their cells with Lighting Release Chakra to make their speed extremely fast, making the aggressiveness of Lighting Release Chakra extremely strong, and when combined with the Lighting Release Armor formed by Lighting Release Chakra enveloping the body, it can greatly enhance a ninja's defense.
"This is Lightning Release Chakra Mode."
Uchiha Sasuke could only classify Lightning Release Chakra Mode under his own development and couldn't possibly mention it was the Raikage Secret Technique of The Hidden Cloud Village: "In this mode, whether it's attack, defense, or speed, there's a high level of enhancement. The only drawback is that it can only be used in Taijutsu combat, feeling like it's not fully utilizing the attack advantages of Lighting Attribute Chakra..."
"..."
Kakashi Hatake could only look up at the sky.
This Secret Technique...
I can't even master it...
What qualifications do I have to come and talk about how to improve it?
