Konoha: You're letting me build up my bonds, but you're offending the entire ninja world.

The next day, Gengetsu Shimura and Kakashi arrived at the Forest of Death.

"Should you go first or should I go first?" Xuan Yue asked.

"I'll go first," Kakashi decided to show his sincerity first.

"Actually, Chidori and Raikiri are essentially the same technique, so you only need to learn Chidori, right?"

“Yes.” Gengetsu Shimura nodded.

Kakashi slowly formed hand seals. "The Chidori hand seals are very simple; they are just the three seals: Ox, Rabbit, and Monkey."

As soon as he finished speaking, a piercing bird cry echoed through the forest, and Kakashi's palm crackled with lightning, making it seem as if thousands of birds were singing at the same time.

"By manipulating lightning-attribute chakra into high-frequency vibrations in your hands, while simultaneously increasing the intensity of the electric current and its physical penetrability, you need to fully activate your own chakra. Therefore, the focus of this technique is on physical activation..."

Kakashi talked about some important techniques for activating the body. He said that, apart from the Cloud Village's Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he should be the most proficient person in the ninja world when it comes to stimulating the body with Lightning Release.

Or rather... it's Sakumo Hatake.

White Fang's swordsmanship is not an ordinary short sword, but a chakra short sword, and his swordsmanship is also the ultimate application of lightning release.

Kakashi's creation of Chidori incorporated Sakumo Hatake's understanding of lightning attributes. Both father and son favored speed and penetration, which is quite different from the speed and defense of Kumogakure.

Gengetsu Shimura listened very attentively, and even took notes in a small notebook, which was quite unusual for him.

Physical activation is indeed quite important, as it can effectively increase speed.

Kakashi stopped talking after about half an hour.

"Today we will mainly practice stimulating the body; the training of techniques can be left until last."

After saying that, Kakashi had Shimura Gengetsu begin his training, while he guided him from the side.

Soon... he witnessed Shimura Gengetsu's extraordinary talent.

His control over chakra made him wonder if his own chakra was going through a rebellious phase. Look how docile and obedient other people's chakra is, going wherever they're told and controlling whatever force they want, no more and no less.

In the following days, he became even more numb.

The physical activation was initially completed on the second day.

On the third day, he successfully formed the hand seal, gathered lightning, and collected it in his palm.

On the fourth day, the vibration frequency had fully met the requirements of the technique, and another half hour was spent adding a stronger nature transformation, successfully evolving into an S-rank ninjutsu, Lightning Blade.

Day 5...

It was Shimura Gengetsu's turn to teach Kakashi.

He had learned an S-rank ninjutsu in four days, and he was at a loss for words.

"These are some of the theoretical understandings of space held by the Second and Fourth Hokage. Memorize them all first, and then learn ninjutsu."

After handing over a large amount of information to Kakashi, Shimura Gengetsu leisurely left, not even going to the Anbu, but going straight home to be with Karin.

He found Karin a tutor—Ebi Shizuka, who was the cousin of his former tutor, Ebi Kyo.

The tutoring industry in Konoha is almost monopolized by the Ebi family. Recently, Ebisu has also appeared. He is cheap and easy to use, but Shimura Gengetsu still chose Ebi Shizuka, who is several times more expensive.

There's no other reason than that women are more patient, and little Karin is very sensitive these days; we can't let her be stimulated again.

After becoming the captain of the ANBU, Shimura Gengetsu suddenly had a lot more free time, and he would personally guide Karin from time to time.

It wasn't until half a month later, when Kurenai said that Kakashi had been looking for him, that Xuan Yue realized that he hadn't been to the Anbu for a long time.

The next day

"You still know to come looking for me..."

Kakashi looked at Shimura Gengetsu with a resentful expression, "I thought you were going to renege on your promise."

"Stop talking nonsense, have you read all those theories?"

"I've finished reading it, and I've even memorized it."

"Then let me test you." Shimura Gengetsu casually asked a few questions, and Kakashi did indeed answer them very... standardly.

They simply lack their own understanding.

Let me demonstrate it for you first.

"......"

To summarize Shimura Gengetsu's teaching method, it's like this first, then this, and then... hey, it works! Isn't that amazing?

Kakashi was completely dumbfounded.

No, Gomen.

You mean some kind of cryptic text?

"I understand the logic, but what is spatial chakra? Does such chakra even exist?"

"It's a kind of chakra... that can be contained within space."

Gengetsu Shimura scratched his head, unable to think of a more fitting description, because the feeling was like tuning a frequency, adjusting his chakra frequency to synchronize with the space.

Talented people can understand it naturally, but those without talent... simply can't find that frequency.

"correct."

The boy's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Kakashi, you know summoning jutsu, right?"

“That’s right.” Kakashi looked at him with his dead fish eyes.

"It's similar to the Summoning Jutsu." Shimura Gengetsu used all his vocabulary talent. "The moment you summon a summoning beast, your chakra changes. When you activate the Flying Thunder God Technique, you need to make your chakra change to that nature."

Kakashi understood this time and became thoughtful.

Yeah... isn't summoning jutsu just space-time ninjutsu?

If you can find the feeling that Gengetsu Shimura was talking about in the above, it might be helpful.

So later on, Kakashi started constantly summoning his dogs, searching for the instantaneous changes that occurred.

Gengetsu Shimura ignored him again.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and a new class of ninja academy students has graduated.

With Shimura Gengetsu's permission, Izumi Lori was finally able to apply for early graduation and graduated with top marks in both academics and practical skills.

"Xuan Yue, I've finally graduated!"

Back home, she first told her mother the good news, and then Quan Luoli ran like a lark to Xuan Yue's house next door and threw herself into his arms.

"Can I team up with you now?"

"Well..." Xuan Yue patted Quan Luoli's head, looking somewhat embarrassed, "Although I've become a Jonin, Anbu ninjas can't lead teams..."

"Why is this so..."

The girl, who was overjoyed, pouted. Shimura Gengetsu quickly coaxed her, "This is just a normal situation. I'm trying to figure something out. Don't worry, I promise I won't let you team up with those idiots. Don't rush these next few days, just wait for my news at home."

Quan then stopped crying and started laughing.

Hiding behind a big tree, watching Shimura Gengetsu patiently comb Uchiha Izumi's hair, Karin was filled with envy.

Karin noticed that Lord Gengetsu always treated Izumi with the gentlest care and never refused any of her requests.

Karin secretly resolved that she would definitely cling to Izumi's coattails from now on.

That way, Lord Xuan Yue will love her more and more, and his affection for her will extend to everything related to her.

The next day, Shimura Gengetsu originally planned to go to the Third Hokage to discuss the distribution of the spring.

But he didn't expect that someone would care more about Quan's arrangements than he did.

Three elderly men dressed in matching fan-shaped uniforms appeared at the door of Uchiha Izumi's house.

The elderly man at the head of the group had a cold expression, and he slammed his cane on the ground with a dull thud.

"Uchiha Izumi! Now that you've become a ninja, why don't you report to the security department?!"

Chapter 86 Arrogant and Domineering! An Elder of the Uchiha Clan? Human Fireworks!

Uchiha Shizuka led Izumi to the entrance, respectfully welcoming the three elders inside, before explaining:

"Elder Eagle, although Izumi has become a ninja, she wants to join a ninja squad like ordinary ninjas, and after gaining some experience, she will return to the clan and join the security department."

"Are you an elder?" the old man named Uchiha Taka asked indifferently.

"I...I'm not..."

"Then why are you spouting nonsense?" Uchiha Taka sneered. "How can a woman like you decide the arrangements for the clan members? I don't think Uchiha Izumi needs any training. She must return to the clan tomorrow!"

“This…” Uchiha Shizuka looked troubled. She knew Izumi’s thoughts and that she wanted to stay by Gengetsu’s side.

When Quan heard that she was to return to the garrison, she was so anxious that she almost cried.

Possible

"And what are you?" A detached voice came from outside the door.

The three elders frowned and turned around angrily, only to see a young man wearing a black divine robe leaning against the door.
