Even his genius son couldn't endure training for that long.
"Father is right."
Kakashi admitted.
He felt nothing when hearing that Might Guy might one day become a rival.
But watching Raizen....his stable form, his swift progress—Kakashi felt something shift inside him.
If Raizen hadn't transferred late…
If he had trained alongside them from the beginning…
How strong would he be?
Kakashi didn't know the answer.
But one thing was certain:
Uchiha Raizen would be known as a genius.
Father and son walked farther and farther away.
Only when they completely left the area did Raizen look in their direction.
"Hatake Sakumo… the White Fang of Konoha."
It wouldn't be long before he failed a mission, faced unbearable condemnation from the village, and took his own life at home.
"Time is running out."
Raizen murmured silently.
Hatake Sakumo's mission records were written clearly in the academy textbooks.
He had completed an astonishing 27 S-rank missions and 123 A-rank missions.
This meant Sakumo was an elite who had long grown accustomed to life-and-death battles.....
an experienced shinobi who had seen the darkest sides of espionage, assassination, and war.
His hands were stained with blood, as any high-level ninja's would be.
Yet such a man… died by suicide.
And it was Kakashi who discovered the body first.
The father he admired most....reduced to a man who, in his eyes, had "run away" from his pain.
That moment left a scar on Kakashi that would last a lifetime.
The deeper meaning behind Sakumo's death…
Perhaps only the White Fang himself truly understood.
But Raizen was certain it had strong political undertones.
Minato had once described him to Obito as someone "even the Legendary Sannin must respect."
Such a man ending up like that....
It proved how merciless the village's internal politics could be.
Raizen's only option was to grow stronger...fast.
If a figure like Hatake Sakumo could be pushed to such an end…
Then what about him?
A boy labeled with:
• Land of Lightning origin
• Yotsuki clan bloodline
• Uchiha clan bloodline
• Foreign-raised Uchiha
These tags made his presence far more complicated than most.
Danzo—or others like him....had almost certainly noticed Raizen already.
The only solution was overwhelming strength.
Raizen turned back to the river, resuming training without hesitation.
Night life was beginning in the bustling heart of Konoha.
He still had time.
He had to make use of it.
[Entry: Water Walker (White).]
[Requirement Achieved: Walk on water using chakra, stepping as if on solid earth.]
[Progress: 25%.]
[Effect: On special terrain, your chakra control becomes more refined. Chakra Stamina increases by 5% from baseline.]
[Note: Can be upgraded further.]
A faintly transparent system panel appeared before Raizen's eyes.
Not long after he began practicing water-walking, the entry had appeared.
The progress bar had already reached 25%.
Another four days and he should complete [Water-Stepper (White)].
"…I can shorten it."
Raizen dismissed the panel and continued to push his body, extracting more chakra.
As a hybrid of the Yotsuki and Uchiha clans, he naturally possessed more chakra than others.
The Uchiha clan was already known for having abundant chakra.
Only the Senju and Uzumaki clans surpassed them, both described in official records as "clans possessing immense chakra."
But Raizen had something other Uchiha lacked.....
the Yotsuki bloodline.
A clan famed for taijutsu and bodies adapted to lightning release...
their physical vitality was unmatched.
Raizen could train far longer than his peers.
Chakra was a mixture of spiritual and physical energy.
By constantly tempering the body, one could increase their chakra reserves.....
for the process strengthened both will and flesh.
Often, it wasn't that others didn't want to continue training…
but that their chakra ran out too quickly.
That was their limit.
Civilian-born shinobi could give their all, yet their ceiling was always visible.
The greatest among them was Might Guy, who opened the Eighth Gate.....
a momentary blaze of life, burning all chakra to briefly reach the level of those born at the summit....
the descendants of the Otsutsuki.
Raizen, fortunately, belonged to the latter category.
Tracing his ancestry back… his roots also led to Otsutsuki Kaguya.
Night wind blew gently across the river.
Only one figure continued walking upon the surface of the water.
The flowing current carried away the sweat dripping from Raizen's body.
