To put it simply, each of the three jutsu Yoruha had mastered could serve as a secret trump card for any jōnin.
What's more, when Yoruha used them himself, their power far surpassed that of ordinary jōnin.
Especially the Chidori Sharp Spear and Chidori Senbon—their destructive power was simply terrifying.
Long range, extreme speed, and deadly penetration—these three traits combined made the two techniques worthy of being classified as S-rank jutsu.
In fact, even among S-rank jutsu, they ranked on the higher end in terms of raw power.
Most standard S-rank techniques couldn't even be compared to his.
Kakashi sighed.
"You really are something. Any other ninja—even a jōnin—would run out of chakra after just one of those. There's no way they could reproduce what you just did. Not even I could."
He wasn't exaggerating.
Yoruha's jutsu were fueled by natural energy, yet they differed slightly from senjutsu chakra.
The difference lay in the fact that Yoruha's chakra carried a trace of consciousness—a will of its own.
As a result, the chakra he manifested took on living form, much like the First Hokage's Wood Release.
However, Yoruha himself was unaware of this fact, and Kakashi didn't understand it either.
Yoruha shook his head.
"Even for me, using those two jutsu puts quite a bit of strain on my body. With my current chakra reserves, I could probably only use them two more times."
Kakashi blinked.
"So that means… you can now cast S-rank level jutsu five times in total?"
He had assumed Yoruha's chakra was already depleted—after all, he had unleashed three S-rank techniques in succession.
Judging by the power of those three alone, the chakra consumption was definitely above that of typical S-rank jutsu.
Yet somehow, Yoruha still had chakra to spare.
That kind of chakra capacity already far exceeded Kakashi's own.
With that realization, Kakashi asked, "So what you're saying is… your chakra has already surpassed mine?"
He remembered clearly that just a few days ago, Yoruha's chakra reserves had been smaller than his.
Even if Yoruha's chakra was a form of senjutsu chakra, this growth was far too extreme.
Yoruha paused to sense it, then replied calmly,
"I think my chakra is a little higher than yours now, Kakashi-sensei."
For a moment, Kakashi was speechless.
"How could your chakra increase so quickly?"
Yoruha thought for a bit.
"Maybe because I still have more hidden chakra within me."
Kakashi considered that—it made sense. He had always suspected that a mysterious power was sealed within Yoruha's body.
"Mind if I take a look at your chakra with my Sharingan?" Kakashi asked.
He was growing concerned. Such rapid chakra growth didn't seem normal, and he wasn't sure whether it was a good or bad sign.
If chakra increased too quickly, the body might not be able to withstand it.
He worried that Yoruha's body might not hold up under such immense chakra pressure.
Yoruha nodded.
He had no reason to hide anything—his chakra had indeed multiplied several times over the past few days.
Even if he refused, Kakashi could still observe it with the Sharingan if he wanted to.
After receiving permission, Kakashi activated his Sharingan.
In an instant, what he saw inside Yoruha left him speechless—
the sheer volume of chakra within the boy was staggering.
"This… this is unbelievable. I can't comprehend it. Your chakra level is already close to Naruto's."
To put things into perspective, Naruto's chakra included not only his own but also the vast reserves of the Nine-Tails.
Even though a large portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra had been sealed away by the Fourth Hokage, his Eight Trigrams Seal allowed some of that chakra to leak out—gradually converting it into Naruto's own.
Over the years, that seepage had greatly boosted Naruto's chakra reserves.
At twelve years old, Naruto already had more than twice Kakashi's chakra.
If the Nine-Tails' full power were counted, that number would be hundreds of times greater.
And now Yoruha's chakra was nearly at that level—
meaning his current reserves were about twice Kakashi's.
Just a few days ago, Yoruha had possessed less chakra than Kakashi—
only around the level of an average jōnin.
Yet in just a few days—
and even after unleashing three S-rank techniques stronger than Kakashi's own "Raikiri/Lightning Cutter"—
his chakra had grown to this degree.
If he hadn't expended chakra on those three jutsu, his total might have even surpassed Naruto's (excluding the Nine-Tails' power).
What level was that?
That was Kage-level.
And Yoruha was only twelve.
The more Kakashi realized this, the deeper his concern grew.
Based on common shinobi knowledge, chakra was sustained by the body.
If Yoruha's chakra had expanded that rapidly, could his body truly withstand it?
Kakashi looked at him and asked worriedly,
"Do you feel any discomfort?
With such a rapid increase in chakra, your body must be under strain, right?"
Seeing Kakashi's worried expression, Yoruha smiled gently.
"Don't worry. I think my body got much stronger that night when my chakra went out of control. That's also when my chakra suddenly skyrocketed."
He knew that if he didn't provide a reasonable explanation, Kakashi would grow suspicious.
Kakashi thought about it—Yoruha's reasoning made sense.
He had long suspected that a powerful energy was hidden within Yoruha, and perhaps that rampage had awakened it.
Things like that weren't uncommon in the shinobi world—there were many strange constitutions and unique abilities.
Though few were as extraordinary as Yoruha's, it was still within reason.
Even so, Kakashi sighed.
"I'm still worried. If your chakra keeps increasing like this, your body might not be able to handle it."
"I'll talk to Lord Jiraiya when I get the chance.
Maybe he can teach you senjutsu—
if you can master it, you might be able to fully control the power within you."
Yoruha blinked.
"Lord Jiraiya?"
Seeing his puzzled look, Kakashi assumed he didn't know who Jiraiya was.
Although Kakashi had mentioned him before, it was understandable that someone Yoruha's age wouldn't recognize the name of the Legendary Sannin.
In truth, Yoruha wasn't confused about Jiraiya's identity—
he was simply unsure why Kakashi thought Jiraiya would be willing to train him in senjutsu.
They weren't related, and senjutsu wasn't something that just anyone could learn.
Jiraiya had trained Naruto because Naruto was the son of his disciple—the Fourth Hokage—making him, in a sense, Jiraiya's grandstudent.
That connection made their relationship natural.
But Yoruha had no such bond with Jiraiya.
Kakashi began explaining,
"Lord Jiraiya is one of the three legendary ninja of Konoha—the Sannin—known throughout the entire shinobi world."
"During the Second Great Ninja War, he, Orochimaru, and Lady Tsunade were called the Legendary Three Ninja of the Leaf."
"All three of them possess strength on the level of a Hokage—immensely powerful individuals."
"Lord Jiraiya is the Third Hokage's disciple and the Fourth Hokage's teacher."
"He's also a master of senjutsu."
"The Third Hokage once said that your body might naturally possess the Sage's Constitution."
"The chakra within you may already be senjutsu chakra."
"I believe that if you learn to use senjutsu properly, you'll be able to control your chakra completely—
and prevent it from ever harming you."
